A meteoric figure kicked the New Winter Soldier to the ground, then with a storm-like offensive, temporarily forced back five Locust Soldiers.
"Are you alright?" The newcomer was none other than Steve Rogers, who had finished his adjustments. He and Eller stood back to back, wary of every enemy.
"I'm fine." Eller observed Steve out of the corner of his eye, then chuckled, "Looks like you designed a pretty good panel for yourself."
"My dream before joining the army was to become a cartoonist," Steve replied with a smile.
With the Illusion Belt, Steve designed a brand-new panel for Marvel Locust. The helmet's design referenced the compound eyes and antennae of a locust, and the armor on his body was also very thick, giving people the feeling that he could punch a tank to pieces. A red scarf was tied around his neck, fluttering in the wind.
To conceal the magic-style Illusion Belt, Steve even modified it to have a tech-style appearance.
This posture could be completely called 'Marvel Locust of Strength'.
"I'll deal with the leader; you help me hold off those small fries." Eller leaped forward, charging towards the New Winter Soldier.
Steve smiled confidently, white airflow emanating from his fists. He also just wanted to try out this newly acquired power.
During his days at Kamar-Taj, Steve had also learned how to use Chi through the Kunlun scriptures.
After learning to wield this power, which makes the strong even stronger, his body, which had undergone bottomless biological modification, gained monstrous strength that could temporarily rival Hulk.
'Bang bang bang'
Five Locust Soldiers simultaneously fired at Steve, heavy sniper rifle-caliber bullets whizzing past his body.
"Knight—Punch!" With a powerful battle cry, Steve punched one Locust Soldier's firearm into shattered pieces, then dodged before the enemy could aim at him.
"..."
Seeing this, the five Locust Soldiers immediately pulled out their secondary Adamantium daggers and charged at Steve.
Steve, with quick reflexes, snatched a dagger and then engaged in a knife fight with the other Locust Soldiers.
He wasn't just someone who could only use a shield!
At the same time, Wanda, in her first formal battle, still struggled against a single Locust Soldier. These guys were too strong, their bodies too tough. Even if she used telekinesis to break their bones, the Locust Soldiers would still advance without feeling pain.
Sweat dripped from Wanda's forehead, and red light danced in her palms. Telekinesis bound the entire Locust Soldier, continuously applying internal pressure. When the internal and external pressure difference reached a certain degree, the object would explode.
This was an inspiration Wanda had gotten while making popcorn.
However, the third-generation modified humans were not that simple. The mass-produced palladium Ark Reactor at Locust Soldier No.6's waist emitted a blue light. The filtering module purified the reactor's toxins, and safe, non-toxic energy flowed throughout Locust Soldier No.6's body. The sudden increase in strength made it difficult for Wanda to control him.
In an instant, Locust Soldier No.6 was about to pounce on Wanda's face. At this moment, Black Widow suddenly straddled Locust Soldier No.6's neck and furiously attacked Locust Soldier No.6's throat with her Widow's Bite.
The current, strong enough to electrocute an elephant, made Locust Soldier No.6 decide to temporarily abandon killing Wanda. Instead, he grabbed Black Widow's thigh, swung her forcefully, and threw her to the ground.
Black Widow's eyes went dark, feeling like she was about to faint. Wanda seized this opportunity to unleash even stronger telekinetic power.
"Shatter!" Wanda roared, tearing off a section of Locust Soldier No.6's forearm.
Blood and oil immediately splattered onto Black Widow, who was lying on the ground. The irritating smell entered her nostrils, bringing Black Widow back to consciousness.
Black Widow used a low sweep kick to get up, then struck Locust Soldier No.6's severed arm with her Widow's Bite, which temporarily shut him down.
Experience told Black Widow that this amount of damage definitely wouldn't kill the opponent, not even with her and this immature superpowered girl cooperating. So, she pulled out an ant-sized tracker and stuffed it into the wound gap of Locust Soldier No.6.
Meanwhile, Eller, who was fighting the New Winter Soldier, always felt that there was something off about the person in front of him.
Mechanical arm, HYDRA assassin, modified... Isn't this Steve's friend Bucky?
Although the guy in front of him was much stronger than the Winter Soldier in the original timeline, Eller still wanted to test him.
If this guy really was Bucky, then he might be able to prepare for a civil war that might come.
"Did you used to live in Brooklyn? Is your name Bucky Barnes?" Eller asked after pressing his Ninja Twin Blade against the opponent's mechanical hand.
"..."
The New Winter Soldier tilted his head slightly and said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
With that, the New Winter Soldier's mechanical hand released high-voltage electricity, preparing to use the Ninja Twin Blade as a conductive object to paralyze Eller.
Whether it was Bucky or not, his face would tell! Eller immediately phased, and the New Winter Soldier's electricity hit nothing.
After phasing to dodge, Eller's figure passed by the New Winter Soldier. Immediately after, he spun around, came to the New Winter Soldier's side, and swung a blade towards the New Winter Soldier's mask.
The tip of the blade scraped against the New Winter Soldier's mask, producing a series of sparks. Eller, realizing the opponent's armor was very sturdy, immediately increased his force, attempting to cut through the mask.
But the New Winter Soldier also reacted. Flames erupted from his mechanical arm's elbow, and a Rocket-like fist came at Eller.
Eller continued to dodge by phasing. He still couldn't believe he couldn't get this person's mask off!
The mechanical fist passed through Eller's body. After passing by the opponent again, Eller directly used a skill.
[Purgatory Strike!]
Blazing flames gathered on Eller's lower leg, providing powerful strength for his next strike.
The New Winter Soldier had just turned to attack when Eller's high kick landed on his head.
Crunch—
The New Winter Soldier's head immediately made a sound like a watermelon being split open. The powerful blow of Purgatory Strike sent him flying more than ten meters away.
When the New Winter Soldier regained control of his body, his helmet also shattered, revealing a weathered face. His eyes were cold, as if there was only the target in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, this head seemed a bit deformed, most likely from Eller's kick. Taking a direct 'Purgatory Strike' hit, a second-generation modified human would have died long ago. Only Bucky, a modified human with a large amount of black technology, could have endured it.
Looking at this face, Eller confirmed that this guy was Steve's good friend, Bucky Barnes!
These two were truly brothers in misfortune, both captured and modified by HYDRA one after another.
And at this moment, Steve, who had temporarily forced back the five Locust Soldiers, also glanced in Eller's direction.
It wasn't a problem not to look, but it was truly fatal to look. Even with a change in hairstyle, Steve immediately recognized the person's identity.
"Bucky? Is that you?"
As soon as Steve finished speaking, five Locust Soldiers charged at him. Steve blocked some of the attacks, but several daggers still grazed his abdomen. As blood was about to flow from the wounds, a puff of white gas emerged, healing Steve's wounds.
"??"
Steve's call caused a hint of confusion in the New Winter Soldier. He clearly didn't know this person, so why would he react to his voice?
