Ch: 121-130
Chapter 121 The battlefield with Captain Marvel, chicken in a basin!
"Ah!!!" (The little fairy's frantic scream)
Along with Captain Marvel Carol's ear-piercing scream, millions of Skrulls on Earth all died, and the system's mission was completed!
"[Avengers Agency Mission: Commissioned by the Five Great Nations, eliminate all Skrulls on Earth(Completed)]"
"[Mission Reward: Enhancement Points ×5000]"
Steve didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose to add points!
"System, add 50!"
As Steve silently chanted in his mind, while 5000 enhancement points were deducted, his Physique instantly increased from 60 to 110, almost doubling!
And in terms of Strength, it wasn't just a simple doubling; it was a world-shattering improvement! (Once Physique reaches 100, it will no longer be calculated in tons, but will begin to be based on idealistic power, definitely not because the author is too lazy to write more)
Facing Carol's furious punch, Steve didn't even bother to dodge, simply raising a single hand to catch Carol's glowing fist!
Steve looked at Captain Marvel, who had a rooster comb haircut and an extremely square jaw, and sneered:
"Where did this block person come from? This is MCU, not MC. Do you take me for that mining Steve?"
"And I already said there can only be me in the sky; you come down here!"
With that, Steve gripped Carol's fist with immense force, yanking Carol, who was still incredulous that her punch had been blocked, to the ground. He then picked her up and began to violently smash her left and right!
At that moment, Carol's eyes became much clearer, but in her Binary mode, she had a photon defense like a Biological Force Field, so she wasn't directly dazed by the chaotic smashing.
Instead, in pain, her other hand punched towards Steve's face, wanting to break free from Steve's relentless smashing first!
However, Steve's smashing stopped, but Carol's other hand was also grabbed by Steve, changing her from being held by one hand to being held by both!
And before, she was above, but now it was Steve's turn to grab her hands and slowly ascend!
In Carol's bewildered gaze, Steve headbutted Carol's rooster comb haircut, and after a dull clang of metal, Carol was slammed into the ground with immense force!
"You bastard! How dare you..."
Before Carol could finish her profanity, a large hand covered her face, pressing her heavily to the ground, interrupting her disrespectful words!
Steve looked at Carol indifferently, wondering where this woman got so much to say during a fight.
Either spouting nonsense or in a daze, truly too used to being invincible, never tasted hardship, huh!
Whose bad habit did she learn from!
Steve held down the struggling Carol with one hand, not letting go, just pressing her face and beginning to fly at extreme speed, skimming the ground!
And Carol was like a skateboard, pressed face-down by Steve, plowed all the way from America, out of the United States' borders, directly plowing a beautiful middle part line across America!
Until near the coast, Carol's rooster comb haircut was even plowed off by him, revealing her large square face that didn't look great at first glance, and even worse upon closer inspection!
Steve looked at this face with utter disdain. He held Carol's hand like a bowling ball, spun her around several times, and then casually tossed her away like trash!
After Carol turned into a meteor and disappeared, Steve didn't immediately pursue her, but instead looked around, a bit bewildered.
Goodness, where did he end up? Is this still America?
It seems he added too many points at once this time and didn't control his speed well; he ended up 'abroad'!
After his Physique increased by fifty points, and his total Physique exceeded one hundred points, his stats were difficult to estimate with concrete numbers; all his indices were increasing geometrically!
His speed also multiplied several times, from an extreme speed of around Mach 20 with the battle suit's enhancement, to nearly Mach 100 without the battle suit's enhancement!
"Never mind where it is, let's deal with this Captain Marvel first. Where did I throw her just now? Let me see..."
Suddenly, Steve, who was floating in the air and looking out, froze. His geometrically enhanced vision made him realize that the opposite shore of the sea where he had casually thrown Carol seemed quite familiar!
Isn't that the hot East... cough cough, isn't that Foot-Pot Chicken Kyoto?
Looking at that place, Steve's mouth suddenly curved upwards, revealing a sinister smile.
"I didn't choose this on purpose; it was Heaven's will that the battlefield was chosen here. So, sorry, little devils, hahahahaha!"
With a wild laugh, Steve, with Mach rings around his feet, impatiently rushed towards Foot-Pot Chicken's Kyoto!
Rumble——————
Carol, who was thrown towards Kyoto, emerged from the shattered street, covered in blood, after continuously penetrating more than a dozen buildings and smashing countless islanders into meat paste!
Carol stared blankly at the flesh and blood on her hands that didn't belong to her, and at the islanders around her who looked at her with extreme horror. Just as she was about to explain, a voice spoke out faster than her, interrupting her!
"Children, don't panic, your dad, Captain America, has come to save you!"
Steve stood with his hands on his hips, slowly descending from the sky, waving his hand amidst the islanders' worshipful gazes, as if he were their savior.
Carol angrily looked up, "You damn bastard, it was clearly you..."
Before she could finish, Steve pointed at Carol with 'heartfelt pain': "Shut up, bitch! Look what you've done!"
"It's bad enough you're causing trouble in America, but you even came to our America's filial son's place to slaughter innocents. I, Captain America Steve Rogers, will be the first to not spare you!"
Facing Steve's righteous indignation, Carol almost vomited blood from his villain-first-to-accuse tactic.
But clearly, those spineless islanders loved this act, cheering wildly at Steve in mid-air:
"Rogers-san, ganbatte, kill that stinky woman!"
"Die, you stinky bitch! Our Captain America Dad is here, you're dead!"
"Die, die!"
Facing the one-sided condemnation and curses from the surrounding islanders, even Carol, as a Universe Police, almost couldn't resist tearing these guys to shreds!
But she still knew that there was a cause and an effect, and everything was due to the guy who called himself Captain America misleading people's hearts, so she poured all her anger onto him!
Her photon energy erupted, even her hair shining with brilliant light. With a shake of her arms, she charged towards Steve with an unstoppable momentum, determined to make him pay a heavy price!
Facing Carol's obvious straight punch, Steve had an expression like an old man looking at a phone, which was a sight for sore eyes. He simply sidestepped, dodging her full-power blow, causing the woman's punch to smash into the ground, tearing up a large section of concrete and killing a large number of islanders.
Is this guy's combat awareness so low?
Facing an opponent with similar or even greater strength, she just charged straight in, without any combat moves or covering ranged attacks?
Even the idiot Hulk knows to throw things to distract him, then seize the opportunity to attack!
Looking at the crowd of islanders who had been smashed into Island Nation Laoganma by her own punch that tore open the ground, Carol trembled with rage and looked at Steve, gritting her teeth:
"Damn it, weren't you here to save them? Why did you dodge just now? If you hadn't dodged, they wouldn't have died!"
"Excuse me? Are you saying why I didn't dodge the enemy's attack during a fight?"
Steve was full of question marks, almost laughing in exasperation at Carol's question.
Excellent, truly excellent! I've found that the feeling of women fighting is really great!
Completely illogical, unreasonable, just swinging away. Oh my God, I'm starting to love it!
Chapter 122 The unlucky chicken in the basin, the collapsed Captain Marvel
"You really are quite the… feminist." Steve shook his head with a smile, then instantly appeared before Carol, grabbing her by the neck and lifting her up, his smile vanishing. "You want to be a whore and still have a memorial arch, don't you?!"
You kill people, and I take the blame, right?!
Carol used one hand to pry at Steve's tightening grip on her neck, while her other hand glowed with intense photon energy, intending to blast a photon ray to explode Steve's head!
But Steve, who had read the original work and knew Captain Marvel could shoot energy beams from her hands, how could he fall for such an obvious move…
He wasn't Superman, who would wait for Batman to hit him in the face with a Kryptonite smoke bomb!
The moment Carol raised her hand, Steve grabbed her glowing wrist.
However, Steve didn't forcefully interrupt the photon energy accumulating in Carol's arm. Instead, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his lips. He pretended to be slightly weaker than Carol, struggling to stop her glowing arm!
Then, just as Carol's photon energy accumulation was complete and the energy burst forth, Steve tilted his head to dodge, letting the beam graze his scalp and pierce through a skyscraper behind him!
Furthermore, Steve acted as if he was struggling, wrestling with Carol's constantly firing energy-ray arm, slowly moving her arm. After slicing the skyscraper behind him in half, he 'accidentally' moved to another skyscraper!
When Carol saw this, she almost cursed again. She was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of strength, completely being led by this guy's arm. What did he mean by pretending it was her intention!
However, as soon as she thought of speaking to explain, the large hand on her neck tightened a bit, making her unable to utter any sound!
After the beam from her hand had swept through half of Kyoto's high-rises and countless buildings, Carol finally remembered that although she couldn't control the direction of the energy ray, she could control the switch!
Only then did she quickly extinguish the photon energy in her hand!
This made it hard for Steve not to suspect if this guy was doing it on purpose too.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Steve's eyes. He had thought this foolish woman would only react after sweeping the entire Kyoto flat.
Seeing Kyoto almost destroyed by Carol, Steve's eyes rolled, and he roared:
"Damn it, this hateful Skrulls invader is too powerful. I cannot let her continue destroying on the land of the son's country. Don't be afraid, children, I will take her somewhere else now!"
With that, Steve elbowed Carol in the temple, and while she was dazed, he delivered a liver-punch, sending her flying towards another city!
Next, Steve dragged Carol, constantly switching cities to fight, battling all the way from Hokkaido to Nagasaki, turning the entire Japan into their battlefield!
After fighting all this way, not to mention the casualties, just the experience alone would set Japan back several decades!
This even made the Japan authorities unable to stand it, and they sent fighter jets to 'help' Steve, to deal with Carol together.
Steve, of course, chose to accept its kindness, flinging Carol towards the fighter jet squadron, creating a fireworks display worth hundreds of billions!
Then, Steve 'accidentally' led Carol into Japan's various military Bases, including army, navy, and air force, specifically crashing into ammunition depots, making everyone at the Japan military Base today become 'acquaintances' from being blown up!
Finally, Carol didn't dare to use photon energy attacks anymore, only engaging him in close-quarters combat, causing no significant damage.
Seeing Carol no longer using energy attacks, Steve looked at the smoke-filled Japan beneath his feet and felt a bit bored.
"Since you're useless in a physical sense, I won't torment you physically anymore. Enjoy your last spiritual journey!"
Steve turned to the panting Carol, revealing two rows of stark White teeth. He no longer held back, effortlessly grabbing her by the neck and carrying her as he crashed into a city, directly penetrating into the ground!
And that location was precisely within the Japan Osaka subway line!
Boom————————
Amidst flying debris, a large hole was smashed into the underground tunnel, and two figures, one lying down and one standing, landed in the tunnel.
Steve bent down and, with one hand, grabbed Carol by the back of her neck, who was stunned on the ground, and lifted her up again, making her face the dark subway tunnel.
"Aren't you very saintly? You can search for a home for the Skrulls, who are hated by the entire Universe, for more than ten years, and even bring them into Earth. So, regarding the disasters faced by the native people of Earth, I really want to know, what do you think?"
"Dis… disaster?"
After 'fighting' for most of the day, Carol, whose stamina was almost depleted, struggled to pry Steve's hand, trying to get a breath of air.
On Earth, if you're talking about disaster, you, this brutal guy, are the biggest disaster, aren't you?!
The destruction this guy deliberately caused today on Earth by bringing her along has almost wiped out a country!
And most importantly, this hateful guy, under the guise of justice, blamed all this slaughter and disaster on her!
I must kill you!
As Carol's face contorted with resentment, a point of light suddenly appeared in the dark tunnel, and the light point grew closer, accompanied by a rapid humming sound!
Carol's pupils contracted. Her excellent eyesight allowed her to clearly see that it was a subway train moving at high speed!
Realizing what was about to happen, she began to struggle frantically, her eyes filled with terror, and her voice even pleaded: "No, no, no! Let me go! Let me go quickly!"
But, it was too late!
The high-speed subway train had no time to discover the two people who suddenly appeared in the tunnel. In the blink of an eye, the hard front of the train collided with Carol's terrified face!
However, this was just the easiest collision Carol would face next!
After crashing through the front of the train and entering the carriage, seeing the densely packed island nation passengers inside, that was the beginning of Carol's nightmare!
"No!!!"
Amidst Carol's screams, her face collided with, embraced, and 'indistinguishably' mixed with one terrified face after another!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——————————
Skin cracking, muscles exploding, blood splattering, bones flying—every single one of these moments was presented with crystal clarity under Carol's super vision!
And these scenes repeated hundreds and thousands of times in rapid succession!
(The following content is too gory; further description might not pass review. For details, you can refer to the Invincible, Omni-Man subway scene; it's absolutely explosive!)
Steve, holding Carol, penetrated through a dozen train cars in place, allowing Carol to 'enthusiastically' embrace countless islanders, before ending her nightmare journey amidst the tumbling of the train that had been pierced behind him!
Her body was crimson, her eyes had lost their luster, and her slightly open mouth still contained fragments of who-knew-whose hero. Disregarding the powerful hand behind her neck, Carol couldn't help but let out a retching sound and vomit wildly!
Steve, who had remained expressionless throughout the scene of a train full of 'canned' sauce splattering, couldn't help but throw Carol away when he saw the vomit spewing from her mouth and nose.
"That's disgusting, you call yourself a Universe Police? Can't you have some manners? How can you vomit anywhere in a subway tunnel?!"
Chapter 123 Tell me, will you bleed?
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Steve, with a look of disgust, launched into a severe criticism and lecture of Carol!
Carol remained silent, only vomiting repeatedly. Once her stomach was empty, she frantically clawed at the hair and flesh stuck to her body.
Seeing this, Steve scoffed, walking step by step towards Carol and slowly saying,
"Look, this is the disaster your Earth compatriots are suffering every day. Where were You, who considered Yourself the strongest on Earth, then?"
"Oh, right, You were searching for a new home for the Skrulls, and You were bringing the Skrulls to Earth, allowing them to slaughter countless human compatriots and enjoy others' life savings!"
When he reached Carol, Steve delivered a fierce knee strike to her face, embedding her entire body into the concrete wall of the passage!
Steve pressed his arm hard against her neck, his eyes turning blood red:
"Tell me, who gave You the guts to bring these scumbags into my Earth?!"
"Tell me, did You ask for the opinions of the natives on Earth? Did You ask for my opinion?!"
"Tell me, as the strongest in the Universe, do You bleed?"
Under the dual torment of physical and mental anguish, Carol, who couldn't even maintain her Binary form, couldn't break free from the arm on her neck. She could only desperately and weakly slap at Steve's battle suit, where the red glow in his eyes grew increasingly dazzling.
Red light—this was the last color she saw in her life!
Chapter 124: Warning left on the moon, get out of my world!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Steve tilted his head, took the pistol from a stunned Nick Fury's hand, and with a gentle squeeze, crushed it into a ball of scrap metal, then smiled:
"Attacking me with a pistol, seriously? Tsk, Director Fury, you're getting worse with age, aren't you!"
"Last time you at least knew to use a laser cutting pen for a sneak attack, but this time you're using a small pistol. That's even more primitive than Wakanda; they at least know to use Vibranium spears~"
Steve's eyes were full of disdain. A Vibranium spear could at least scratch the surface of his skin when he had 50 points of physique, injuring him a tiny bit without Biological Force Field protection.
But a small-caliber pistol, even without using a Biological Force Field, couldn't penetrate his retina when he had 50 points of physique, let alone his terrifying 110 points now.
Steve casually tossed the iron ball in his hand with a 'thud' in front of Nick Fury, startling him from his shock, and said indifferently:
"Alright, My Lord Director, this farce has gone on long enough. Do you have any last words?"
Nick Fury's eyes showed unwillingness. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his face, and his entire body jerked backward, hitting the hard metal wall of the room.
Steve pressed down on Nick Fury's bald head, which had bounced back after hitting the wall. He patted his large, dark face, which was completely caved in from his elbow strike, and sneered:
"Heh, I was just being polite. You, a cotton machine, actually want to leave last words? You can say them, but I'm not going to listen!"
"As a traitor to humanity, what right do You have to leave last words as a human!"
"If You want to say Your last words, go to hell and ask those innocent humans who were killed and replaced by the Skrulls brought back by You and that bitch Carol, if they had a chance to leave last words before they died!"
Facing Steve's scathing words, the dying Nick Fury laboriously raised his caved-in, ruined face, his voice fragmented:
"I....was....all....for....the....Earth....I....did....nothing....wrong....."
Steve held his large, dark head and whispered into his ear, twisting the knife: "No, You weren't for the Earth. HYDRA was truly for the Earth, even if it was for ruling the Earth!"
"HYDRA is at least human-centric. No matter how foolish, they wouldn't be so foolish as to let a shapeshifting race infiltrate their own Planet!"
"But You, in the end, protected nothing. The Earth, humanity, and even the Skrulls—You saved none of them. Your idea of using the Skrulls was ridiculously wrong from the start!"
"Finally, Hail HYDRA!"
In Nick Fury's final, disbelievingly wide eyes, Steve's hand gripping his large, dark head suddenly exerted force, brutally tearing his entire head off.
After waiting for a moment, and confirming that the head in his hand didn't transform into a Skrull, Steve finally tossed it onto the ground.
"Now, Nick Fury, King of Agents, who's harder to kill than a cockroach, if You can still live after this, then You're even more incredible than that son of a bitch Wade!"
In the original work, Winter Soldier pierced Nick Fury's entire chest, yet he survived and managed to turn the tables on HYDRA!
So, to be safe, Steve directly pulled off Nick Fury's entire head. If he could still stubbornly survive this, then Steve could only say that his life was not meant to end.
But, he thought, that possibility was almost Zero~
"Nick...."
A weak voice came from behind Steve. Carol, her eyes charred black, seemed to realize something as she touched Nick Fury's head, which Steve had thrown on the ground, and let out silent sobs.
"Regret it, resent it, but it's too late for remorse now. If You have eyes in Your next life, remember to keep them brighter....."
Steve gently placed his hand on Carol's head, his face devoid of sympathy, only endless indifference.
An immortal touched my head, and I received eternal life.
Eternal life was certainly not possible for Carol, but she could spend eternity with Nick Fury in hell~
Steve, who always advocated for gender equality, did not show mercy just because Carol was a woman. Just like with Nick Fury, he pulled off her entire head~
After eliminating these two main targets, Steve's eyes pierced through the vast interior of S.W.O.R.D., locking onto the hundreds of Skrull members within S.W.O.R.D. Red beams of light continuously shot from his eyes, exploding all their heads.
As for why he didn't just explode the spaceship, Steve stated that this was the Earth's first large-scale spaceship, and it needed to be taken back for Tony to study, in preparation for future ventures into the Universe.
As for how to take it back if the controls were damaged by Carol's impact, Steve said there was no need to worry at all.
Even if it wasn't damaged, he wouldn't know how to pilot it, but he had plenty of strength; he'd just carry it back!
However, after Steve brought this spaceship back to Earth, he didn't immediately take it back to the Avengers Agency. Instead, he took a deep breath and flew around the Earth at full speed!
Of course, he wasn't trying to reverse the Earth's time like Flash or Superman; he was still far from reaching the superluminal speed required to reverse time.
Even with the Symbiote suit's enhancement, his flight speed was only two hundred Mach.
He was currently moving the bodies of Skrulls from around the globe into the S.W.O.R.D. spaceship. At his speed of two hundred Mach, all the Skrull bodies worldwide were transported onto the spaceship in less than ten minutes.
Of course, the reason it was so fast was because the Skrull bodies annihilated in each country had been collected and piled together by their respective official authorities. He transported all of them into the spaceship via portals.
As for whether these official departments would have any objections to him taking these Skrull bodies.
Well, seeing Japan's fate, they wouldn't dare to object!
Having done all this, Steve didn't linger. He lifted the spaceship with both hands and shot into the sky, heading straight for the Moon!
Just as he flew halfway up, a portal appeared in front of Steve, taking him directly to the Moon!
No one would think Steve was going to carry the spaceship and fly there the hard way, right?
His recent high-speed flight to transport the global Skrull bodies was just because he wanted to take the opportunity to adapt to his drastically increased speed.
But the Moon was too far; even at 200 Mach, it would take a full hour and a half to fly there. He was too lazy to fly slowly.
Although at his current physique he no longer needed oxygen to survive, that process was still quite tedious, wasn't it~
Thud——————
Steve landed with the massive S.W.O.R.D. spaceship, then resumed his super speed, zipping back and forth between the spaceship and the Moon's surface.
A minute later, over a million Skrull bodies were neatly arranged on the Moon by Steve, forming a message with their corpses!
Fucking outta of my World!
This message was Steve's warning to future invaders of the Earth, and also their Death prophecy!
It meant: This Planet is fucking taken. Dare to come here, and this is Your fate!
As for why the warning was in English.
Steve stated that, after all, all races in the Marvel Universe speak English, don't they~
Finally, Steve impaled the heads of Carol, Nick Fury, and Talos at the very front of this warning formed by Skrull corpses.
Hovering above the Moon, looking down at his masterpiece on the lunar surface, Steve couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. The idea of using Skrull bodies for a warning message was simply brilliant!
I'm a damn genius!
While gazing at this magnificent sight, Steve's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Hmm? There seems to be something on the far side of the Moon...
Steve had just become interested in it, but before he could look closely, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a seven-colored beam of light descending onto the distant, Azure Earth!
Chapter 125 Avengers version of the hammer pulling competition!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
"Interesting, Bifrost Bridge. Has that old man Odin banished Thor to Earth?"
Steve mumbled, clearly more interested in Thor and Asgard than the city on the far side of the moon.
He had already known what that city was with just a glance.
The Inhumans' Base, Attilan.
Other than that overly arrogant guy, there was nothing there worth his attention.
And among the valuable things there, only the Terrigen Crystals held some worth, as they could help people awaken superpowers.
However, that item only worked for those with Inhuman genes; ordinary people would be petrified by it.
In his opinion, the flaws of this item were even greater than those of Extremis.
If he wanted to mass-produce superhumans, he might as well find the Cripple (lame man) behind Extremis and then have our workaholic Tony improve it into a side-effect-free version.
As for the Inhumans on the moon, as long as these guys stayed on the moon and didn't come to Earthto cause trouble for him, he couldn't be bothered with them.
They served as Sentinels for Earth on the moon, Earth's natural satellite; if anything happened, they'd be the first to suffer, which was quite good~
However, Steve always felt that his initial unintentional glance seemed to have caught sight of something other than the Inhuman city of Attilan.
But what exactly it was, was very blurry, and when he looked closely again, it was gone, leaving only the Inhuman city.
Steve shook his head, no longer overthinking, and returned to the moon's surface, waving his hand to open a huge portal, and kicked the massive S.W.O.R.D. spaceship on the ground into it.
"Next time, I'll come back to investigate properly....."
After muttering, Steve stepped through the portal, took one last look at the far side of the moon, and vanished from the moon.
And after he disappeared, on the far side of the moon, a faint, enormous phantom lit up with two massive glowing orbs, like two eyes silently watching in the direction of Earth...
Earth, Avengers Warehouse Five.
After returning to Earth, Steve did not directly bring the spaceship back to Avengers Tower.
This thing was originally intended by Nick Fury to be the 'S.W.O.R.D.' space Base; it was ridiculously huge, and it was uncertain whether Avengers Tower could fit it, or if it would fit Avengers Tower.
In fact, the S.W.O.R.D. Base shouldn't be called a spaceship; it should be called a space battleship.
So he brought it to one of the Avengers' gigantic warehouses for storage and had Jarvis notify Tony, asking him to come over and study it when he had time, preferably to replicate a Vibranium version.
He also wanted to get his own aerial Avengers fortress to play with!
However, Jarvis informed him that Tony said he was busy right now, currently wrestling with all the Avengers and a hammer!
You're playing with a hammer?
Steve raised an eyebrow; had Mjolnir already fallen?
Interesting. He had originally planned to find Thor first and discuss the matter of illegal entry into Earth's territory and paying fines.
But since Tony and the others were already pulling the hammer, he had to go join the fun first!
As for Thor, the God of Thunder, that guy was probably still unconscious in the hospital after being stunned by a taser~
Thor being stunned by a taser, tsk tsk, Steve found it truly hard to comment~
One must know that even Captain America in the original work was fine after Crossbones repeatedly jabbed him in the kidney with a high-voltage stun baton; that thing was much more powerful than Daisy's taser!
So, roughly speaking, Thor, whose divine power was sealed by Odin, was actually inferior to Captain America, which seemed a bit absurd!
Thor, a god's basic physique, was actually not as good as a super soldier~
To use Hulk's words, he was a very weak god~
Therefore, his interest in Mjolnir was even higher than in Thor himself.
He also wanted to try to replicate the famous scene from Avengers: Endgame where Captain Americasummoned Mjolnir!
After having Jarvis send him Tony's coordinates, Steve opened a portal and stepped into a land of yellow sand.
New Mexico.
At this moment, the desolate yellow sand was truly lively, like a grand party, with motorcycle tough guys surrounding it three layers deep.
And at the center of the crowd was an extraterrestrial hammer that had smashed a large pit in the ground.
The Avengers were not S.H.I.E.L.D.; it was just a hammer, and they wouldn't worship it like a father, driving away all discoverers.
So, besides all the Avengers being present, many local tough guys who had discovered Mjolnir were gathered around, cheering on each Avenger who stepped up to try to pull the hammer!
Steve, infected by the lively atmosphere, did not immediately step forward to interrupt, but stood among the crowd, watching Tony and the others pull the hammer with great interest.
Of course, before he arrived, his serum battle suit had mimicked a normal white T-shirt, leather jacket, and jeans outfit, and he wore sunglasses.
Therefore, no one around discovered that Captain America had arrived; they just thought he was an ordinary local biker.
At this moment, the one attempting to pull the hammer was that guy Deadpool.
Amidst the benevolent laughter of the audience, Deadpool, whose battle suit had ripped at the buttock area from exertion, revealing his flashy pink heart-patterned underwear, extended several Symbiotetentacles from his back and was using all his might to pull the hammer!
Unfortunately, even after his pink underwear was fully exposed, Deadpool could only regretfully withdraw, having not moved Mjolnir even an inch~
Before leaving, Deadpool couldn't help but kick the hammer, muttering curses:
"Motherf*cker! What a load of crap about worthiness! I think that old man Odin, feigning sleep, must be blind as a bat, unable to see the shining excellent qualities on this great master!"
"Just you wait, if I can't lift Mjolnir, can't I lift Thor? One day your son Thor will be crying in my arms, just wait and regret it!"
Rhodes stepped forward and patted the cursing Deadpool on the shoulder, teasing:
"Alright, Pink Heart Butt-man, if you're bad, practice more. If you can't handle it, don't play, okay? Why are you even cursing at a hammer?"
"I think it's your Symbiote combat suit that's no good; you have to see our new era's nano-mechanical armor!"
And next up was the duo, Iron Man Tony and War Machine Rhodes, two good brothers ♦, oh yeah!
"Don't drink and drive, don't drink and drive, but today, everyone here, raise your beers right now and prepare to celebrate this genius lifting this mysterious hammer that no one else can lift!"
Tony waved flamboyantly to the crowd with one hand, bent down, and casually gripped the hammer handle with the other hand, his entire right arm holding the handle instantly covered in nano-armor.
Chapter 126 Avengers Hammer Pulling Contest 2
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Amidst the excited shouts of "Iron Man" from the onlookers, Tony's Iron Man arm confidently exerted force!
"Lift it!"
"Hmm?"
Tony's smile froze as he glanced at the hammer that hadn't budged. The nanobots on his armor surged, forming several thrusters. Blue Fire, with immense counter-propulsion, instantly created a powerful pulling force!
But even with this terrifying pulling force, enough to lift a hundred-ton truck, Tony's face turned red, and he still couldn't make the hammer beneath him move even an inch!
Tony released the hammer handle, adjusted his tie, and said stubbornly to the people around him, "Everyone, please wait. It must be because I didn't exert enough force just now. I'll start the second round immediately!"
"Hey, Rhodes, You, don't just stand there watching the show. Come on, let's show the audience what the power of technology is!"
With that, Tony pressed the nano-storage core on his chest, and his entire body was covered in the cool Vibranium armor.
Rhodes did the same, pressing one hand to his chest, transforming into War Machine.
The two of them each gripped a section of the hammer handle and began to exert force, first using the strength augmented by their armor, then employing the full power of their thrusters!
Tony turned to look at Rhodes, his voice strained, "Brother, are You really trying, or are You just acting for me?"
Rhodes was no better; his dark face under the armor was flushed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk about me, I am You, we are one. However much force You use, I use the same!"
Hearing this, Tony's stubbornness surged, "Hey, I don't believe it today!"
"Could this thing be even more non-physical than Steve? Come on, Rhodes, let's use the armor's secondary booster function together. I'm going to pull this damned hammer out today!"
"Alright, let's do it, go for it!" Rhodes, not one to admit defeat, immediately nodded in agreement.
Nanoparticles extended from behind them, forming two exaggerated and sci-fi-looking thruster wings!
The next second, blue Fire, burning with Mach rings, spewed out from the huge thrusters of their mechanical wings, instantly baking the sand beneath their feet into crystal!
Ahhhhh, this is the passionate combo of our Iron Duo!!!
Then, one minute later.
Iron Man out, War Machine out!
Tony and Rhodes leaned against a pickup truck, sweating profusely, drinking Water handed to them by Peter. Their hands were trembling, but their mouths were still very stubborn.
"I'm not in good form today. I've been staying up too late these past few days, and I forgot to replenish the armor's nanoparticles. When I go back and prepare thoroughly, I'll definitely be able to lift this damned hammer!"
"That's right, it's all those damned Skrulls' fault. Clearing out those parasites consumed too much energy from our armor. Otherwise, we could easily handle a mere hammer!"
Watching the two stubborn men, Peter, who had originally wanted to try, swallowed hard and decided not to make a fool of himself.
No matter how strong he was, he wasn't as strong as the two of them wearing Vibranium nano-armor and using external boosters!
If he went up there, he might rip his suit like Wade did, and that would be too bad, too embarrassing, especially with Gwen watching!
Gwen, nearby, had the same thought.
Meanwhile, Steve's 'monogamous' Bucky and Sharon shrugged, indicating that they were the first ones to try and be eliminated.
Finally, Dr. Banner, the newest addition, clearly didn't want to call out Hulk to pull the hammer in front of so many people, so he didn't even plan to try.
Seeing that no one else among the Avengers stepped forward to try, Steve was about to make his grand entrance as the protagonist, shocking everyone like a Dragon King, when a head popped out of the driver's seat of the pickup truck Tony and Rhodes were leaning on.
An old man with sunglasses and a slicked-back hairstyle tapped the driver's side door, "Hey, you two brats, don't lean on my beloved car. Go help me put the chain from the back of my car around the hammer. Today, I'm going to show you high-tech dependent youngsters what it means for ginger to be spicier when it's old!"
Tony and Rhodes exchanged glances and didn't dampen the mysterious confidence of the old man. They wrapped the hook from the back of his car around the hammer handle, smiling and gesturing to the old man:
"It's ready, old man. Let us youngsters see just how'spicy' You can be~"
"Hey, then You just watch!" The old man smiled proudly, patted his old Ford pickup truck with full confidence, and then floored the gas pedal!
Bang——————
Instantly, the chain was pulled taut, and then it actually lifted!
But what lifted wasn't the hammer; it was the front of the pickup truck!
And the next second, due to excessive force, the entire rear compartment was pulled off by the chain, and the front of the car, no longer constrained, sped forward like a locomotive towards the terrified crowd!
And the direction was precisely where Steve was standing!
Steve:....
Such a coincidence? Was You intentional or accidental?
This time, Steve didn't take a step back and shield everyone in front of him. Instead, he stepped forward and shielded everyone behind him!
Steve turned sideways and extended one hand, pressing his palm against the speeding, nose-up car front, bringing the vehicle to an instant stop in a manner highly inconsistent with the laws of physics, without causing any damage to the car itself or the ground!
Looking at the pickup truck, whose wheels were still spinning wildly in the air, Steve gave the 'panicked' old man in the driver's seat a slight smile:
"Hey, friend, pulling the hammer is one thing, but You should still ease up on the gas, shouldn't You?"
Hearing Steve's words, the old man then'suddenly realized' and released the gas pedal.
After Steve placed the car back on the ground, the old man, still shaken, walked in, holding the car door. Seeing his beloved car, with even the hood completely intact, he excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Steve's shoulders, expressing his gratitude:
"Thank You so much, young man. Thanks to You, my 'old buddy' is safe and sound. Thanks to You, so many innocent Deaths were avoided. I'm truly grateful for your arrival and intervention. You are a hero!"
Looking at the familiar face before him, Steve couldn't help but smile:
"No, I should be thanking You, old buddy. When I first arrived, You didn't choose to 'hit' me directly, but instead allowed me to continue living in this wonderful World. You are the true hero~"
The old man smiled kindly and patted Steve's shoulder, "That last sentence of yours isn't like the popular phrases from our era, but that's right, it's a new era now. I'm very happy to have such excellent new blood like You here. This era belongs to You young people~"
"Keep going, young man, enjoy it all, that's enough~"
Chapter 127 Farewell, try to lift Thor's hammer!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Steve curled his lips and said smugly, "Enjoyment? Of course, no one here understands enjoyment better than I do!"
It wasn't him boasting; although he wasn't a very competent Super Hero, when it came to eating, drinking, and having fun, he always did whatever felt good and never shortchanged himself!
Stan Lee thought about it and realized, 'Hey, he's right!'
Although this kid replaced the moral paragon character he created, Captain America Steve Rogers, this kid didn't possess any of Captain's excellent virtues. In fact, he was the complete opposite of Captain America!
He committed all sorts of evil, from burning and killing to looting, and he was incredibly materialistic. In terms of money, all the Captain Americas in the Universe combined couldn't compare, and most importantly, he was a scumbag!
Thinking this way, Stan Lee felt that this kid's life was simply too good!
Most of the other kids who came to his Universe were either scheming or plotting in the Shadows, and even if they had strength, they didn't dare to reveal it much.
Unlike this little guy, who didn't hide at all; if he disagreed, he'd go fight, and if he couldn't win, he'd use his so-called cheat to add points!
And because he was a moral paragon and a person of anchor, he could, first, stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at others, and second, unscrupulously change the original Universe timeline!
"Alright, you willful kid. I like your straightforwardness and honesty. Keep it up; these will be your two most attractive qualities."
"Ah, I'm old. Seeing different excellent young people appear makes me tremble again. Young people nowadays probably can't stand old men like me trembling."
"I'm just here to join the fun this time, so I won't interfere with your young people's affairs. Later, I still have to hand over some things to a kid named Kevin Feige. I just hope he can treat them well in the future..."
"Why am I trembling again? Alright, kid, I'm leaving!"
After muttering a few words that seemed inexplicable to others, Stan Lee took his hand off Steve's shoulder, shrugged, and turned to walk towards his beloved car, like a casual farewell between friends.
Steve had been quietly listening, without the slightest impatience. He watched the old man's departing back with a faint smile, calmly bidding farewell: "Old man, take care..."
Stan Lee raised his hand and waved at him. As he passed Deadpool, he gave his pink butt a hard slap.
"Oh, buddy, what a cool leotard! But as a qualified man, some places can be 'worn' loosely, but a man's last line of defense still needs to be worn properly, or else be careful of making things 'man on man'!"
Deadpool rubbed his butt, launched into a sprint, and pointed at Stan Lee, angrily shouting:
"Shut up! Stan Lee!"
Stan Lee chuckled, got into the pickup truck that Tony had just had the rear compartment installed, and poked his head out the window, nodding to Tony with a smile:
"Thanks, kind Mr. Stark!"
With that, he drove away without waiting for a bewildered Tony to reply.
Rhodes, next to Tony, was laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up, holding Tony's shoulder and roaring with laughter:
"Pfft, hahahaha, he called you Mr. Stark, Tony Stark, hahahaha, I will remember that title for a lifetime!"
There were already many people around, and with Rhodes's teasing, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Tony, the person involved, had a dark expression, already anticipating the explosive headlines of tomorrow's news.
"Shocking! The famous Super Hero Iron Man, Avenger, genius scientist, playboy, and arms dealer Tony Stark gained a new shining title yesterday: 'Mr. Stark'!"
Just imagining his 'Mr. Stark' title spreading throughout the World made Tony feel an uncomfortable prickling sensation all over his body.
No, absolutely not. He had to find a new hot topic to suppress this matter!
Tony's eyes darted around, and he quickly locked onto a target. He took a few quick steps to Steve's side and deliberately raised his voice:
"Hey, everyone, look who's here? Isn't this Captain America, who just saved all of human civilization and thwarted the Skrulls' conspiracy to occupy Earth?!"
"When Captain arrives, America will be at peace. When Captain arrives, this hammer that no one can lift will finally have someone who can wield it!"
"Everyone, cheer for Captain, pull the hammer! Pull the hammer!"
After Tony's loud shouts, everyone successfully cast aside the title of 'Mr. Stark' and fixed their gaze on Steve, who was wearing large sunglasses!
"Using me as a shield, huh? You kid, don't leave after work. Go overtime and research the spaceship in the warehouse! If you don't figure it out for me, your name won't be the only thing that's'Stark'; you'll physically know if you're Stark!"
Steve patted Tony's shoulder, 'threatened' him in a low voice, and then, under everyone's expectant gaze, took off his 'Superman' sunglasses, revealing his stunningly handsome face that was famous worldwide!
The next second, countless fervent shouts of 'Captain America' echoed through the sky!
Steve waved to his fanatical fans while walking towards Mjolnir. His clothes also gradually transformed into a dark blue battle suit with each step!
By the time his cape billowed out, he had just arrived in front of the hammer, and the atmosphere reached its peak!
"Lift it! Lift it! Lift it!"
As the most powerful and popular Super Hero in the World today, almost no one doubted Captain America's ability to lift the hammer. Instead, everyone uniformly pulled out their phones, ready to capture the sacred moment of Captain America raising the hammer!
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Steve twisted his neck, took a slight breath, grasped the handle of Mjolnir with one hand, and exerted force with his arm!
Creak——————
The hammer suddenly shifted, causing everyone's cheers to abruptly stop. They all nervously stared at the hammer, which had only moved a little.
No way, could it be that even Earth's strongest Captain can't lift this damn hammer?!
No, even if Captain can't lift this hammer, it's not Captain's problem. It's this damn hammer that's unworthy of the great Captain!
Just as the fans on site were finding excuses for Steve not being able to lift it.
Steve took a deep breath, his body's core sinking, and the gravel beneath his feet began to slowly float up, swirling around him...
Mjolnir was rumored to be made of Uru divine steel and a neutron star, making it incredibly heavy and indestructible!
But in reality, the moment Steve gripped it, he knew that although he was indeed no longer worthy of lifting Mjolnir, its actual weight was not that significant. Even if its density was high, an ordinary adult could still lift it.
The main reason everyone couldn't lift it was because of the golden patterns wrapped around the hammer, or rather, the enchantment placed by Odin.
Chapter 128 Captain 'Thor'!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Only those who possess the excellent qualities of 'justice, kindness, high moral character, unwavering faith, and a pure heart' are worthy of wielding Mjolnir!
Of these qualities, Steve could be said to possess unwavering faith, but the other three were completely unrelated to him!
Therefore, he was naturally not worthy of wielding Mjolnir.
However, Steve declared, 'This is on Earth, and my rules are the rules!'
If the hammer lands on Earth, it has to obey me!
A Biological Force Field gathered on Steve's arm, and the lifting power of his arm began to increase exponentially, while the hammer was slowly pulled off the ground by this continuously strengthening terrifying pull!
(To clarify, I know that in the DC and Marvel crossover comics, even Superman cannot forcefully lift Mjolnir with pure strength, but this Universe's Worldview is currently in the movie Universe stage, so the setting for this Mjolnir won't be that outrageous yet.)
As Steve straightened up, forcefully holding the hammer, the hidden runic symbols on the hammer's surface began to flash wildly with golden light, attempting to resist Steve's forceful approach!
At the same time, Odin, who was far away on the Asgardian throne, resting with his eyes closed, suddenly bounced up from the throne, as if an invisible giant hand had just lifted him!
Odin:.....
What's going on? Why disturb an old man's nap!
However, upon sensing the vibrations emanating from the enchantment he had placed on mjolnir, Odinimmediately closed his eyes and initiated an Asgardian 'Bluetooth connection' through the runic symbols on mjolnir.
As soon as he remotely connected to the hammer, the eye-like rune on the hammer's surface blinked, and then met a pair of blue eyes.
Then Odin saw Steve holding the hammer with one hand, bringing his eyes close to the rune eye on the hammer, as if he had discovered Odin's peeping!
Holy crap, this young man, holy crap!
No wonder he felt himself being lifted just now; someone was actually forcefully lifting the mjolnir he had enchanted!
The enchantment on mjolnir was his; forcefully lifting the hammer was, in essence, equivalent to directly lifting him, wasn't it?!
'This impolite Midgardian, I shall.....'
Odin's expression turned cold. He was just about to unleash divine punishment on the other party through mjolnir, a wave of Odin's electrotherapy, to let that boy know that some things were not for him to take!
But the instant that thought arose, his single eye suddenly turned pure gold, and a scene flashed within it: Asgard engulfed in a sea of Fire, and suspended in the sky was that Midgardian holding mjolnir, one hand clutching Loki's head, the other Thor's head—a horrifying sight!
This is.... Ragnarok!
The vision vanished. Odin, recovering his senses, swallowed hard; the incantation that had been on the tip of his tongue simply couldn't be uttered!
'Hiss.... Who exactly is this fellow, to make the Eye of Wisdom show such a terrifying premonition...'
Odin's gaze was solemn. His'Spear of Destiny', gungnir, thudded into the ground. A black raven, its eyes also gleaming with golden light, flew from outside the hall and landed on his arm.
Odin changed his previous thought, meeting the raven's golden eyes, and immediately, scene after scene appeared before Odin.
It was still a sea of Fire, but the difference was that Asgard still existed, the sea of Fire was caused by a fallen, headless, fiery red corpse, and the head the Midgardian was holding had turned into the head of Surtur, the Fire Giant!
And in Asgard, beneath the Midgardian's feet, Hela, Thor, and Loki, the three royal heirs, were kneeling on one knee, showing their submission to the one in the Sky!
The vision vanished, and the golden light in the raven's eyes visibly dimmed. The entire bird became listless, and even its beautiful black feathers faded to a dull gray.
Odin's eyes also lost their golden light, but his aura remained steady. He gently stroked the listless raven and said softly:
'You've worked hard, Hugin. The future omen you saw this time is very important. I will have Friggaweave you a feather cloak from the leaves of the World Tree as compensation for you.....'
Upon hearing Odin's promise, Hugin, who had been listless, immediately perked up. After a few chirps, he impatiently flapped his wings and flew towards Frigga's chambers.
And Odin, after thinking, once again struck gungnir into the ground. A circle of golden ripples spread out, forming countless swirling runic symbols in the air.
And Odin began to modify the 'Wi-Fi' connection password of the runic symbols...
On the other side of Earth, Steve was contending with the runes on the hammer when suddenly, the hammer in his hand unexpectedly lightened, almost causing him to fall backward!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, stomping his foot heavily behind him, preventing himself from falling!
However, his stomp was like a magnitude 10 earthquake; the entire ground violently shook from the immense force, and everyone around was lifted more than half a meter into the air, falling down in a chaotic heap of overturned people and vehicles.
But the next moment, everyone who scrambled up from the ground witnessed a shocking scene, as if a deity had descended!
They saw Captain holding high the hammer that no one could lift, and a massive, suffocating bolt of lightning descended from the Sky, striking Captain!
Amidst the blue and white lightning, Steve's serum battle suit couldn't help but retract into his body, but immediately a set of dragon-scale silver armor covered him, finally forming a medieval armor with a red cape!
When the lightning vanished, Steve, holding the hammer, had transformed dramatically, changing from a modern hero into an ancient warrior!
The silver armor on him made him less reserved and more sharp and domineering!
In the air, after a moment of calm before the storm, came a tempestuous roar of cheers.
'He did it! Did you see? That was a miracle just now, our Captain is someone recognized by the gods!'
Everyone swarmed forward, surrounding Steve, tossing him into the Sky, continuously shouting his name!
'Captain America! Captain America! Captain America!'
Steve, tossed into the Sky, examined Mjolnir, which had 'acknowledged' him, and a grim smile appeared on his lips.
'Recognized by the gods? No, on this Planet, I am the god; I don't need to be recognized by anyone!'
Meanwhile, in a nearby small town, a blond man in a hospital gown was running frantically, yelling as he ran towards where the lightning had struck earlier:
'mjolnir, don't leave me! mjolnir, how can I live without you, mjolnir!'
Chapter 129 Mirrored Avengers Tower? Supreme Iron Man!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
In the small town, Thor, the 'God of Hammers', was still in the midst of a wife-chasing crematorium, crying like a two-hundred-pound child as he ran.
On the other side, Steve, the 'True Thor', had already waved goodbye to the enthusiastic New Mexicofans with the Avengers.
After saying their goodbyes, Steve casually opened a giant portal directly to Avengers Tower, and carrying his hammer, he led the Avengers, who were astonished by the portal, inside.
Once back at Avengers Tower, their own territory, Tony no longer held back. Nanoparticles formed a pair of glasses before his eyes, and he circled the spot where the portal had vanished, using the glasses to detect the surrounding spatial fluctuations.
As he observed, he spoke to Steve:
"Incredible, you just opened a spatial channel, right? But why can your spatial channel eliminate the surrounding spatial traces completely in just a few seconds? This isn't scientific!"
Upon hearing this, Steve opened his mouth to say something, but Tony interrupted him:
"Wait, you're not going to try to fool me again by saying this is a special effect of your miraculous little serum, are you?"
"That stuff keeps improving your physique and even developed a Biological Force Field and heat vision like Superman in DC comics, which I can reluctantly attribute to your magnetic field and retinal mutation, but a spatial channel, how could that possibly be a mutation?"
Tony wasn't surprised by the appearance of a theoretical spatial gate; he was just surprised that it didn't seem to be produced by scientific means.
And his later words clearly indicated that Steve pushing every miraculous ability he had onto the super soldier serum could no longer fool his smart nephew.
In response, Steve shrugged and stopped explaining, directly answering Tony and the other curious Avengers' questions with action.
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the surrounding space immediately emitted the sound of shattering glass.
In a flash, the Avengers had arrived in his Mirror Dimension.
Everyone looked amazed, only Steve himself was calm, and Dr. Banner wore a mischievous smile.
During that month in Kamar-Taj, Dr. Banner had become numb to all sorts of magic that shattered his worldview. Now, seeing Tony Stark, who was also a genius, about to have his worldview shattered, made him feel a bit schadenfreude.
As expected, Tony was the most interested. The Mirror Dimension Steve opened this time wasn't very large, only encompassing the entire Avengers Tower.
Therefore, Tony quickly reached the edge of the Mirror Dimension, looking at the inverted Worldoutside the Tower's windows—tall buildings in the sky, and the ground a blue sky with white clouds—he couldn't help but feel a bit mesmerized.
"Oh…this…it's truly beautiful. This definitely can't be done with technology, so this is magic, right? You disappeared for a month to learn magic?"
Tony looked at Steve with a confident tone, appearing very calm.
Banner:? (Joker expression.jpg)
No, dude?!
You just accepted it like that? And you even guessed it?
Shouldn't you be completely shattered, unable to accept all the physics you've learned, and then reluctantly accept reality?
However, the truth was, Tony was indeed very calm, even looking enlightened.
No wonder, with Steve's strength, he could be out of contact for a month before.
No wonder, the spatial fluctuations of that portal disappeared so quickly.
It turned out these were all forces beyond science, magic!
And then, when Pepper walked into Avengers Tower, clearly in the same space as him but unable to see him, and he couldn't touch her, Tony became even more convinced this was magic.
"How about it, want to learn? I'll teach You~"
Steve's voice came from behind him, which finally made Tony show a surprised expression.
"I can learn too?"
"Of course, I believe you have the talent, and a lot of it!"
Steve crossed his arms, revealing a confident and mysterious smile.
Whether Tony has the talent for learning magic is beyond doubt; in a certain Universe, he became Sorcerer Supreme Iron Man. If he doesn't have talent, then there are few in the World who could be Sorcerers.
And his initiative offer to teach Tony wasn't because he was idle, but because he had a plan in mind.
A plan even more important than converting the Avengers into pure Vibranium or building the Avengers Sky Carrier.
That is, he wants to separate the inside and outside of Avengers Tower, making its interior exist between reality and illusion, creating a Mirror Avengers Tower!
From now on, without his permission, no one will be able to breach Avengers Tower, and no one will be able to escape from it!
And if he wishes, he can even, with a single thought, have Avengers Tower crush intruders from within!
Imagine, a living Vibranium Tower, crushing enemies from within. Steve couldn't even imagine how much of a juice press that would be!
And with his understanding of the Mirror Dimension and portals, he could easily do this, but maintaining it for a long time wasn't very realistic.
Because he couldn't stay in Avengers Tower indefinitely to maintain the Mirror Dimension, so he needed a resident Sorcerer who understood the Mirror Dimension as well as he did to guard it.
And in Kamar-Taj, frankly, Ancient One was the only one who knew the Mirror Dimension.
Or rather, including those who would learn this advanced mystic art in the future, there weren't many at all.
Kaecilius was one, but he could only use the Mirror Dimension by borrowing Dormammu's power, so he was only half-baked.
Another with the talent to learn the Mirror Dimension was the future Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, but he was currently doing surgery twenty-something blocks away.
And this guy was Ancient One's successor, the future Sorcerer Supreme, and he didn't plan to make a move on him now.
Wouldn't it be better to wait until Ancient One personally drives to make Strange have a big accident, and then lures Strange to Kamar-Taj to resist the Dark Dimension as a worker?
After Strange goes through some tempering and fully matures, wouldn't it be great to just take a ready-made Sorcerer Supreme to join his Avengers?
As for why Steve didn't become the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Steve said he probably couldn't beat Dormammu for now, so let Doctor Stephen Strange, who was betrayed by a black man, do the tough job of negotiating with Dormammu~
So now, for the matter of creating the Mirror Avengers Tower, there was only one candidate left, and that was our 'Multifunctional Hero' Tony Stark.
As expected, Tony was very interested in challenges beyond science and did not refuse to learn magic.
And since he was going to teach, Steve, who never showed favoritism, simply taught them all together.
Chapter 130: Become the Director of SHIELD and be promoted to the Head of Hydra!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Besides Banner, who had already tried at Kamar-Taj and found he had no magic talent, the other Avengers were all very interested and signed up for Steve's magic interest class.
However, after seven days, only two people had magic talent and learned basic magic.
The first, of course, was Tony. Under Banner's disbelieving gaze, Tony, who was new to magic, was able to successfully open a portal with the help of a Sling Ring.
As for where the Sling Rings came from, Steve said not to rely on others for everything. If you want a Sling Ring, get it yourself. So he opened a portal himself and 'borrowed' a few from Kamar-Taj.
The second person with magic talent was Sharon. Although not as talented as Tony, she also successfully opened a portal in just one day, indicating decent magic talent.
The reason it took seven days was that it took Tony seven days to learn the Mirror Dimension. This was after seven days of focusing solely on the Mirror Dimension, without learning any other magic, and he barely managed to learn it by working tirelessly day and night.
One can imagine how difficult it is to learn the Mirror Dimension.
Oh, right, one more thing~
Steve did not let Tony and Sharon borrow power from the Vishanti or other dimensional lords to cast magic, as borrowing their power would require a price later on.
So he went to the Kamar-Taj library and 'borrowed' a contract book, signing a 'master-servant' contract with the two of them, allowing them to use the energy of the Universe within him to cast magic.
This contract was hierarchical; while Tony and Sharon could borrow Steve's power to cast magic, their lives also carried the risk of being controlled by Steve at any time.
However, the two of them completely disregarded this clause of the contract and signed their names without hesitation!
And next, it was time for Tony to unleash his ingenious ideas.
How to perfectly integrate Avengers Tower with the Mirror Dimension, how to make it operate automatically, how to distinguish between allies and enemies, and how to set up entry and exit passages—these were all matters for Tony, the 'contractor,' to worry about.
As the boss and 'client,' Steve only needed to see the final result. If he wasn't satisfied, he would reject it and make Tony redo it~
Upon learning Steve's true intentions after finishing his studies, Tony was incredibly 'moved.' He kept giving Steve the finger, but unlike the thumbs-up Nick Fury gave before he died, Tony gave him the middle finger~
"Damn it, I really owe you! I have to use Vibranium and magic to modify the Tower for you, and build that damn airborne Base. You're treating me like a damn slave!"
To Tony's complaints, Steve merely said leisurely, "The more capable, the more work they do, right~"
"Go away, go away, don't bother me here. Since you have that Hammer armor now, lend me the serum for a while. I'm afraid I'll die suddenly!"
Steve, of course, did not refuse this small request. After separating the serum from his body and giving it to Tony, he also went to attend to his own matters.
Does anyone really think he pushed everything onto Tony and just indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun?
He was very busy too!
Although the Skrulls on Earth had been wiped out, the subsequent issues had not been completely resolved, such as the social unrest caused by the Skrulls, and the matter of Skrull traitors within S.H.I.E.L.D., all of which required him, as the backbone, to address.
Under the arrangement of the Avengers public relations department, an hour later, at the press conference regarding the Skrull invasion of Earth, Steve personally pressed the 'end' button on the official website. Under the gaze of global audiences, the progress bar jumped to 100%!
Humanity was victorious!
Another hour later, Steve stood at the press conference concerning S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury's collusion with the Skrulls, firmly nailing 'former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director' Nicholas J. Fury and 'SkrullCaptain' Carol Danvers to the pillar of shame in human history!
Then, with the unanimous vote of the entire Security Council, he assumed the position of S.H.I.E.L.D.Director and, with the authorization of Security Council Secretary Alexander Pierce, placed S.H.I.E.L.D.under the Avengers as a subordinate department!
Incidentally, because of the immense influence Steve wielded this time, Pierce, to solidify his identity as Captain Hydra, exceptionally promoted him to the highest level, Level Ten, within HYDRA!
That is, he was now on the same level as Pierce, one of HYDRA's heads, and he was leading all the HYDRA members secretly operating within S.H.I.E.L.D.
At this moment, the highest command authority over the HYDRA Agents secretly operating within S.H.I.E.L.D. transferred from Pierce to Steve. And all the missions they performed, the system prompted, because of his promotion to one of HYDRA's leaders, his Agents' missions would all transform into system missions, allowing him to gain enhancement points!
It was incredibly satisfying!
As for Pierce, there's no need to worry about this old eagle being left alone. Not only did he originally have more than just the HYDRA Agents operating within S.H.I.E.L.D., but also numerous undercover personnel in U.S. government departments.
Moreover, after Steve eliminated Baron Strucker last time, Pierce also absorbed his HYDRA faction, so his power had only increased!
Yet another hour later, Steve stood at the Avengers public relations clarification press conference, officially responding to the widely circulated rumor video from a few days ago about Captain Americabeing recognized by God in thunder.
Dressed in a formal black suit, Steve immediately reached out and summoned Mjolnir from Avengers Tower, conjuring immense thunder under the live broadcast of global reporters, proving that this rumor was not a rumor!
Steve held Mjolnir in one hand, lightning flashing in his eyes and on his body, and pointed with the other hand at the live cameras from around the world on the stage below, his voice booming under the thunder:
"No, no, no! What I need to clarify is not that I was recognized by God! Because I represent all of you, it is our entire humanity's heroic act of clearing the Skrulls, these pests, from Earth, that has been recognized by God!"
"Thank God, thank all of you!"
"So, you, my best friends, you are the true heroes!"
"All of us humans who have fought for Earth, whether physically or mentally, are true heroes!"
Steve's words echoed through the sky, and the audience below applauded thunderously!
Countless camera flashes hit Steve, who was already gleaming with lightning, making him appear incredibly sacred at this moment!
August 8, 2010, was henceforth known as 'All Humanity's Victory Day'!
And this day would be a grand global holiday, with a day off granted every year on this date to celebrate humanity's victory~
"Oh my God, Captain's physique is so tempting, oh no, I mean, Captain's speech was truly inspiring, *slurp*~"
In a moving RV, Jane Foster's assistant Daisy was staring Stupid at Steve speaking on the screen, drool uncontrollably dripping from her mouth.
God, that Nordic-style armor on Captain, it's just overflowing with sex appeal, truly too much, too alluring, makes one want to commit a crime!
