A full four sets of power armor!
Even with Steve's decent self-restraint, he wanted to greet Red Skull's parents.
If this were placed on the frontal battlefield, four power armor soldiers could at least fight one against a thousand and easily seize an important military site.
In truth, this was not the first or second time he had fought these iron cans, but basically, he lost more than he won. The few times he won were when the other side had only one person.
In a one-on-one situation, he had one hundred percent confidence he could win.
But as long as one more appeared, his chance of winning would drop by fifty percent, let alone now that the other side had a full four!
Those soldiers controlling the power armor had all been injected with a degraded version of the Super Soldier Serum. Although they were not as powerful as his genuine version, they had power armor to make up the gap.
How powerful was this power armor?
It could withstand a shelling from a German main battle tank at close range; when running at full speed, its speed could reach one hundred meters every five seconds and last for several full minutes; it could casually erupt with several tons of force and overturn a fully loaded armored vehicle.
Fighting these monsters with a flesh-and-blood body was no different from asking you to go head-to-head with a tank.
The result naturally went without saying.
A human going head-to-head with a tank could only end in being smashed to pieces.
No one knew where Red Skull had obtained these black technologies that surpassed the era.
After capturing one set of power armor, Howard had once said that with humanity's current technological level, it was absolutely impossible to manufacture something like this. Just the composite ceramic-steel outer armor alone was at least around two or three hundred years ahead of the present.
Most importantly, the energy source providing such enormous movement to the power armor was an entirely new element not yet discovered by humanity.
Basically, one could put it this way.
If this power armor were dismantled and reverse-engineered with humanity's current level, it could advance many technologies by at least three hundred years, and that would even be era-defining progress.
"You probably won't tell me where my companions went, right?"
Steve took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the four pitch-black iron cans, his hand slowly reaching toward the special firearm at his waist.
The only response to him was silence, and the roar of bullets erupting from gun muzzles.
These soldiers who controlled power armor all had to undergo complex human modification. They could no longer be called human, but precise and cold killing machines that existed only to complete mission objectives.
No amount of pain could stop them.
Even if their hands and feet were severed, or even if only a single head remained, they would still find a way to kill the target.
Facing such a group of monsters, few in number yet far superior to humans, the Allied forces had suffered enormous losses because of them.
Clang clang clang...
Steve decisively raised the Vibranium shield, blocking all the bullets fired at him.
The bullets struck the hard shield, stirring up countless dazzling sparks in the dark night, and crisp sounds of metal collision echoed endlessly.
If not for this Vibranium shield, he probably would have died countless times already.
Two of the remaining power armor soldiers maintained their firing posture, forcing Steve to keep his shield raised in defense, while the other two soldiers decisively discarded their firearms and charged toward him at full speed.
Dong dong dong dong.....
The snow violently trembled, and two savage figures forcefully smashed through layer after layer of wind and snow.
In just two or three seconds, they crossed a distance of a hundred meters, charging from the left and right to flank him.
Steve had already rehearsed this situation countless times in his mind, so he did not panic when facing it. He quickly drew the firearm from his waist, aimed at the power armor soldier charging from one side, and fiercely pulled the trigger.
The appearance of this handgun was quite science-fiction-like, overall resembling something assembled from modules.
It was a semi-finished product reverse-engineered by Howard, far less durable than the plasma weapons developed by HYDRA. Basically, it was a disposable item, and even had the risk of overload explosion, so before using it, one had to be extremely careful.
However, saying anything more now was useless. He could only place his hopes on Howard being reliable.
Click!
The instant he pulled the trigger, streams of electric current spread from the grip until they gathered at the muzzle.
Then, accompanied by an enormous recoil, Steve's entire arm creaked, his whole body nearly flipped over, and the firearm in his hand suddenly shot out a blazing, dazzling plasma beam. Dense destructive current directly swallowed that figure.
Boom——!
After a heaven-shaking roar, the chest of that power armor was astonishingly pierced through by a basin-sized hole.
There was not even the slightest blood spraying out, because the scorching temperature of the plasma cannon had instantly melted flesh and blood. The ceramic-steel armor that could withstand a main battle tank shell was as fragile as paper before the plasma weapon.
But even though his companion had died tragically before his eyes, the remaining power armor soldier still did not hesitate in the slightest, throwing a punch at Steve's face.
While Steve was amazed by the power of this weapon, he decisively discarded the overheated firearm. Maintaining his shield posture, he clenched his free left hand into a fist and swung it toward the soldier coming from the left.
Boom!
The instant the two fists collided, the air actually exploded into rolling waves.
Violent force clashed head-on, pure strength collided, and the snow around them suddenly sank as the accumulated snow rolled like waves into the air.
The deadlock lasted only for a brief instant before Steve suddenly let out a low roar. His entire arm became covered in black and red, his strength increasing dozens of times in an instant. Like a violent force capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas, it directly swallowed the power armor soldier.
A blue beam erupted from his fist, slamming fiercely into the power armor soldier's chest.
Accompanied by the tooth-aching sound of bones cracking, the ceramic-steel armor shattered into pieces. The power armor soldier spat blood from his faceplate and flew backward like a cannonball, crashing out an astonishing crack along the mountain wall before ultimately being buried in the snow.
Layer upon layer of snow rolled down from the mountain wall like a waterfall, crashing up a large cloud of white mist.
The two remaining power armor soldiers stopped firing, the red electronic eyes on their faceplates shifting slightly as they stared at the blurry figure within the snow mist.
The next moment, the white mist was blown apart by a violent gale.
Steve could be seen with the Vibranium shield strapped to his right hand, while his left hand had astonishingly turned into a terrifying form with a black base and red markings, resembling a snarling demon. Pale blue unknown energy coiled around his body, emitting an indescribably powerful pressure.
...
HYDRA headquarters base.
Through the electronic eyes of the power armor soldiers, Red Skull could see everything happening.
After Steve's left arm changed and displayed that astonishing strength, Red Skull's pupils slightly contracted. Immediately after, an expression of delight appeared on his face, and he could not control himself as he shouted: "Send seven more people over! I want you to capture him alive!"
"But... Lord Red Skull, if we capture Captain America alive, we may lose even more power armor."
An officer showed a troubled expression and cautiously said.
"It doesn't matter! All of this is worth it!"
Red Skull's gaze burned as he stared at Steve, as if he wanted to devour him: "As long as we can control that power, even if we lose more power armor, we can endure it!"
"That..... power?"
The officer was stunned, then his expression changed drastically: "You mean... Captain America and 'Prototype One' can both manipulate that miraculous energy?"
"I won't be wrong!"
Red Skull's gaze was extremely fanatical, even somewhat frightening: "That energy manipulated by Prototype One and Steve is the key to unlocking humanity's evolutionary treasure trove. I must obtain it!"
At this moment, Bazel suddenly walked in and respectfully said: "Sir, we are ready. The 「Original Body」 can awaken at any time."
"Very good. Now we only have to wait for the ghost."
Red Skull was overjoyed when he heard this, coldness flickering in his eyes: "Have all the data regarding the 「Original Body」 been recorded?"
"Rest assured, sir."
Bazel grinned and said: "All the data of that Original Body has been recorded by us."
"Hmph, the good show is about to begin."
Red Skull coldly laughed: "Let me see whether that 「Original Body」 is stronger, or whether you, ghost, are stronger."
Inside a certain gigantic sealed container, a man nearly three meters tall was sleeping.
He was draped in a set of golden power battle armor. Whether in style or refinement, it far surpassed the armor copied by HYDRA. Even though this man was sleeping, one could still sense that terrifying, suffocating pressure.
He... or rather, He.
Was the source of all HYDRA's black technology, the experimental material Red Skull referred to as the 'Original Body.'
A prehistoric relic excavated by the archaeological team led by Bazel from a certain ruin in the Himalayas.
