Chapter 362 Doubles
Turning his eyes, the 'Red Skull' noticed the gleaming box in the hand of the clone [Uncle Long].
He understood immediately and made a judgment with a cold expression.
"According to Dad's magic guidance, the talisman should be on the guy with the red skull."
Facing the insidious gaze of the 'Red Skull', the clone frowned, glanced down at the box containing the cat's beard in his hand, and then pretended to turn to Natasha beside him and said.
"really."
Hearing the words of the clone, the 'Red Skull' cooperated by taking out the octagonal stone with the mouse pattern printed on it from his pocket, stroking it and said: "My guess is not wrong, so that means that as long as the glowing stone in your hand is destroyed, The box can block your search for this thing called a charm."
"Only if you can do it."
Looking away from the talisman in the hand of the 'Red Skull', Natasha subconsciously stepped in front of the clone, raised her eyebrows and replied.
"Do you think that after mastering the power of the spell, we only used it to resurrect the Statue of Liberty?"
Facing Natasha's question, the 'Red Skull' opened its crimson mouth to reveal its snow-white teeth. As its voice fell, a large group of statues with different appearances instantly emerged from the Immigration History Museum. As a cosmopolitan city, it is not uncommon to see statues throughout New York. Although the talisman obtained by the 'Red Skull' was just a counterfeit made by Li Ran and did not have any power in itself, he also used the power of the [Resurrection Golden Monument] to make the 'Red Skull' think he had mastered the power of the talisman. Resurrected a large number of statue buildings throughout New York.
Although these statues may not be as famous or as huge as the Statue of Liberty, the combined offensive formed by them also changed the expression on Natasha's originally confident face.
"Mr. Long, please protect yourself and the magic items in your hands. The next battle may be a bit troublesome."
After whispering an instruction to the clone behind her, Natasha looked at these metal statues with different images, took out her weapon, and for the first time hated New York's image project.
"Hmph, meaningless struggle."
Looking at Natasha, who was still trying to resist, the Red Skull let out a cold snort: "Your solution was already determined when you came to the Immigration History Museum. With the power of the spell, as long as you have Given enough time, we can use this power to create a steady stream of resurrection armies. As long as we can get rid of you so-called Avengers, who else can stop our progress..."
Although it is just a resurrection exhibit of the prototype, it is obvious that the 'Red Skull' in front of him has also inherited the madness and ambition of the prototype, and uses the power of the spell to continue his unfulfilled dream of ruling the world.
"That's what you hope for."
Waving the shield in his hand to block the attack of 'Captain America' in front of him, Steve looked at the 'Red Skull' with a ferocious look on his face and then asked to his resurrection exhibit in front of him: "Let the 'Red Skull' rule the world? "
"..."
Steve's question caused a look of silence on 'Captain America''s face.
The resurrected exhibits have more or less inherited the good and evil characters of their original images. This is why the bust of Roosevelt on the head of the Statue of Liberty had that conversation with Adolf. 'Bucky' faced two Americans at the airport before. Why did the captain show hesitation during the battle?
Obviously, the resurrected 'Captain America' exhibit is also slightly disgusted with the evil plan of the 'Red Skull', just like the conversation it had with the 'Red Skull' in front of the museum when it was first resurrected, 'Captain America' Deep down in his heart, he still hopes to find a way for humans to accept these resurrection exhibits and achieve a peaceful coexistence with humans.
However, Steve's attitude and the determination shown by the Avengers to contain the spell forced 'Captain America' to give up the position he had always insisted on.
"The Red Skull's method may not be the best, but it may be the only way we can force humans to accept us."
After forcibly withstanding Steve's attack, 'Captain America' lowered his head and glanced at the flattened shield in his hand, and couldn't help but replied in a deep voice: "We just want to survive, but obviously, no matter you Avengers, Or the people of New York City are unwilling to give us such an opportunity.”
These words of 'Captain America' made Steve's expression silent, and even the attack power on his hands subconsciously decreased a bit.
However, Steve is a veteran from World War II after all. Even if he felt a little shaken in his heart, he quickly turned into a determined look: "You should know that your current resurrection is only brought about by the power of the [Rat Talisman]. As it turns out, the magic of the talisman is a very dangerous force, and the Avengers launched a containment operation not only because they were worried about the impact of the talisman, but also because they were worried about the existence behind the talisman."
【Holy Lord】
From beginning to end, Steve never forgot that the power of the spell came from the [Holy Lord]. In the previous brief confrontation with the [Holy Lord], the Avengers had already seen the power brought by the [Dog Charm] and the [Dragon Charm] , although that battle ended with the victory of the Avengers, Steve did not despise the existence of [Holy Lord] because of this.
Therefore, they must contain the [Rat Talisman] before the [Holy Lord] discovers its appearance to avoid a worse situation.
For this reason, even if they knew the existence of these exhibits and statues that were resurrected under the power of the spell, the Avengers would have to harden their hearts to stop them.
"It looks like there is no room for slowdown between us."
Shaking away the bumpy shield in his hand, 'Captain America' looked at Steve in front of him, and the last hesitation in his eyes disappeared.
…
"Thank you, Mr. Falcon."
With the help of the power from the other end of the spider silk, the little spider escaped the attack of the iron birds at the critical moment.
Looking down at the dense flock of screaming birds on the head of the goddess statue, Peter patted his chest and raised his head to thank the falcon above his head.
"You are welcome."
Gritting his teeth, he wrapped the spider silk in his hand around his body. Falcon controlled the wings on his back to bear the weight of himself and the little spider, and said with difficulty: "I just did what I should do."
Using the metal wings on his back to increase the distance between him and the goddess statue, Falcon turned his head and glanced at the direction of the goddess statue, and said to the little spider with a worried look: "However, compared to these, what we need most right now is What we are still considering is how to stop the Statue of Liberty from moving forward. We already know from the mouths of the two statues just now that their purpose is to invade the White House through the Statue of Liberty..."
“Invasion of the White House?!”
Falcon's words undoubtedly brought a huge impact to the little spider on the other end of the spider's thread. Under the mask, Peter's eyes widened and he shouted loudly.
Even though it has been a long time since he became a superhero, the opponents that Spidey faces as usual are some super villains who have destroyed the safety of New York. The most serious one is the previous battle against Shukaku in Chinatown. The two mysterious organizations Penglai and Jiuyou fought against each other in an earth-shattering manner, but even so, they did not directly choose the White House as their target of attack like the Statue of Liberty in front of them.
"That's what we should do, Mr. Falcon."
Reluctantly suppressing the surprise in his heart, the little spider turned to look at the Statue of Liberty, which was still minding its own business step by step towards its destination, and instantly fell into a state of bewilderment: "Not even Hulk can stop the Statue of Liberty. Like the pace of progress, can we really stop it on our own?"
Even if the radiation spider gave Peter power far beyond ordinary people, he didn't think that his own strength alone could stop the 46-meter-high Statue of Liberty.
"I also know that the situation at hand is very troublesome."
Not only the little spider, but the Falcon himself also doesn't have much confidence in the task of stopping the goddess statue.
"But, at the moment, it seems that except..."
Roar--
He opened his mouth to say something more, but at this moment, a huge roar sounded again in front of the advancing Statue of Liberty.
"Hulk, Mr. Falcon, the Hulk transformed by Dr. Banner is back."
Looking down in the direction of the roar, the little spider immediately saw the green giant in front of the statue of the goddess, raising his head and roaring.
The Hulk in front of the statue of the goddess was wet and looked a little embarrassed. However, the anger on his face did not decrease at all but intensified even more.
Roaring, Hulk opened his thick arms, and the knotted muscles in his legs suddenly tightened. In the next second, two deep holes were made on the ground. With the huge power coming from underneath him, It jumped into the air, and then it reached out and grabbed it. The huge force made it fall directly on the Statue of Liberty without slipping at all. It clung to the statue. Hulk looked up again. , and in a matter of seconds, he began to climb rapidly.
…
Turning the shield in his hand, Steve skillfully used it to block all the attacks of 'Captain America'.
Although the power of the [Resurrection Golden Monument] makes this exhibit almost as powerful as Steve, the existence of the vibranium shield allows him to always have a defensive advantage in the battle with 'Captain America'. After blocking Captain America's punch with his backhand and kicking him away, Steve turned his head and glanced at Natasha and the clone [Uncle Long] behind him, who were in a precarious situation surrounded by statues.
"A battle is not a good time to be distracted, Steve."
At the moment when Steve was distracted by Natasha's situation, 'Bucky', who had been silent next to him, suddenly took action and grabbed his arm that was holding the shield. On the other side, 'Captain America' also stepped forward and punched him hard. Hit Steve in the face.
puff--
The shock from his head caused Steve's thinking to fall into a brief blur. He shook his head and felt the blood in his mouth. Before he could make a defensive move, the other side 'Bucky' had already struck him hard on the leg again.
thump!
Kneeling on the ground with one leg, the heavy attacks from 'Bucky' and 'Captain America' continued to attack Steve. Under the repeated attacks, even Steve, whose physical fitness was far beyond ordinary people, was Beginning to become unable to parry, he clenched his arm holding the shield and tried to defend himself, but 'Bucky' on the other side did not hesitate to give up his attack and used all his strength to suppress Steve's raised hand. arm.
"Sorry, Steve."
Stopping the attack on his hand, 'Captain America' looked down at the scarred Steve in front of him, and said in a silent tone: "I originally expected us to become friends."
"If we were friends, we wouldn't be so harsh."
Raising his head, Steve squinted his swollen eyes and glanced at 'Captain America' in front of him and 'Bucky' beside him, grinning.
"But that's okay. It will make me feel less guilty when I fight back later."
"Varied……"
Hearing Steve's words, Captain America in front of him instantly noticed something was wrong. At this moment, Natasha, who had been surrounded by the statue and was in danger, suddenly took action, seizing the momentary opportunity to move toward A shot was fired in Steve's direction.
"Careful, 'Bucky'!"
Noticing the target Natasha was shooting at, Captain America, quickly spoke up to remind him.
After hearing the reminder from 'Captain America', 'Bucky' without any hesitation skillfully made evasive movements and dodged the flying bullets.
Although 'Bucky' dodged the bullet fired by Natasha because of 'Captain America''s reminder, as it let go, Steve's arm that had been suppressing the shield finally took action. Chance. Lifting the shield in his hand to block the flying bullets, Steve raised his hand to touch the wound on his face, turned to Natasha and said, "Thanks, Natasha."
"You look a little embarrassed, Captain."
She retracted her pistol and fired again to block the attack of a statue in front of her. Natasha avoided the surrounding statues with nimble steps and said to Steve who was not far away.
"This look is different from the captain I knew before."
"That's because you haven't seen me get beaten worse."
Taking a deep breath and lifting the shield in his hand, Steve glanced at the two familiar faces in front of him and whispered back to Natasha: "In fact, compared to how to fight, the first thing I learned was how to fight. Being beaten, so..." He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his nose, and the distracted gaze in Steve's eyes became sharp again: "Be prepared, you two, the next step is when the battle really begins, and this time, I I won’t hold back anymore.”
