Chapter 167: Choices and sacrifices (5000)(1/2)
"Smack!"
Tony Stark's applause broke the somewhat solidified atmosphere.
"Okay, I almost believed it."
As he said that, he made a gesture to the magicians.
"Thank you for your reminder, now you can leave."
When you feel enthusiastic and feel that you can make up for your mistakes, save your relatives and friends, and even half of your life in the universe, suddenly a group of strangers break into your base and tell you that you must sacrifice one of you to save these people, no one will give him a good look.
But this does not mean that they do not believe that the seeds have been planted, and they will try their best to investigate this matter.
But Crow obviously didn't have that patience. He stretched out his right hand and the sun wand appeared from his palm and pointed it lightly with the tail of the stick.
Dong~
The ripples of magic spread around, covering everyone. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and everyone came from the Avengers base with a very sci-fi feel to a dark and deserted rocky planet.
"Where is this, what about those weird guys?" Steve said, looking around vigilantly.
Kuro and the others did not enter this illusion.
"This is Womir." Nebula recognized the landform here.
"Smurf Sister, you mean we will be dozens of light years away in the blink of an eye?" Stark said with a frown.
"Look, there are two Natasha and Patton!" At this time, Ant-Man Scott exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
Not far away, two men and women came over. It was the black widow Natasha and Hawkeye Patton.
Almost at first glance, Tony recognized that they were wearing quantum combat uniforms he designed.
But the two men seemed to have seen nothing and ignored their existence and walked into the canyon. Scott seemed to want to stop them, but his hand stretched out directly through their shoulders.
At this time, Kuro's voice also came from above.
"This is what happened in a certain timeline after you traveled through the future..."
Tony frowned and walked towards the depths of Wamill, but Steve stopped him.
"Wait, Tony, will there be a fraud?"
"The circles that Picard used were exactly the same as those used by the doctor. Moreover, it depends on their ability to get us hit at this moment. It is probably a matter of a moment that they want to kill us. At least one thing is certain is that they are not enemies, captain."
Tony said in a deep voice. Steve let go of his hand when he heard this and followed Tony quickly. Everyone from the Women's Federation also followed them after looking at each other.
Walking through the rock stairs with complex terrain, the Fantasy Hawkeye and the Fantasy Black Widow met the red skull wearing a black cloak. From the beginning, they used their own paternity test secret technique to call out the names of their fathers.
"That's the Red Skeleton." Steve stared at the figure under the cloak.
"Is it the leader of that Hydra?" Scott asked.
Captain America nodded.
"How could he be here?"
It was also at this time that Kuro's narration continued to come from above.
"When the captain's final battle with the Red Skull, the Universe Cube teleported the Red Skull to Womir. He was selected as the agent by the Soul Gem and could not leave Womir in his entire life."
"This narration is comparable to the animal world." Rhodes complained.
"Quiet, listen to what they are saying?" Steve's booing gesture calmed everyone present.
The red skull led the two to a cliff. The night sky was pitch black and clouds were shrouded in mist, looking like they were in hell.
"What you are looking for is close to you, and what you fear is close to you."
The black widow in the fantasy stood by the cliff and looked down. The thick fog was swept by, making it impossible to see how deep the cliff was, as if it was a bottomless abyss.
"The gem is right below."
"Only one of you can take the gem away, and the other..." The Red Skull spoke beside the two, "If you want to take the gem away, you will lose your love forever. This is a permanent deal, exchange souls for souls."
As soon as the words came out, everyone in the Women's Federation changed their faces, because the words said by the Red Skull were just one meter like what Kuro said to them at the Avengers Base.
"NoNo!" Bruce Banner held his head and shook his head in pain. He could already imagine the ending of the two of them.
The Black Widow in the Fantasy and the Hawkeye in the Fantasy were silent, and each sat on the rock on one side to meditate.
"I can't stand it anymore." Tony turned around and spread his fingers to the red skull. "Why should we listen to a former leader of Hydra talking nonsense, just because he knows who your dad is?"
"I don't know." Natasha said in a daze.
"He was right," Nebula's hoarse voice rang in the quiet conference room: "The soul gem is accompanied by fear, and everyone who gets it must bear the pain, and Gamora was killed by Thanos in Womir."
When Natasha Romanov heard this, she buried her head very low, and she said in a daze: "If we can't get the soul gem, then half of us will not be able to be resurrected."
At this moment, the movements of Natasha and Patton in Fantasy attracted their attention. After the two of them exchanged, Patton in Fantasy suddenly threw a throw and threw Natasha to the ground. He looked directly into Natasha's eyes.
"Tell my family that I love them."
Natasha reacted and reached out to move the floor and turned around and threw Patton to the ground. She stretched out her arm, and the clicking device on her wrist flashed with electric light.
"You'd better tell them yourself."
Puff~
Sizzle~
The electric cable ejected, and the light flashed in Patton's chest. He was paralyzed and could not move. He reversed twice. Those who didn't know thought that the two were fighting for each other for some peerless treasure.
But in fact, what they are fighting for is…death.
Then, without any hesitation, Natasha turned her head and ran towards the cliff. At the same time, Patton of the Illusion also pulled off the electric cable with his willpower and stood up and quickly pulled the bow and shot arrows.
boom!!
The explosion arrow exploded beside Natasha in the fantasy world, and the shock wave generated knocked her to one side. She covered her crotch in pain and hummed.
Patton of the Illusion dropped his compound bow and took a step forward towards the cliff, as if what awaited him behind the cliff was not a deep abyss but a paradise of happiness.
"No, no, Patton!" Steve roared, but they obviously could not hear them in the illusion.
Patton rushed to the edge of the cliff and jumped, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Natasha got up from the ground and jumped to hold Patton. In an instant, he ejected the hook claws onto the cliff and hooked the hook on Patton at the other end of the hook claws, and Patton grabbed Natasha's hand with his backhand.
The two of them just hung on the cliff...
"Barton! Natasha!" Bruce Banner ran to the edge of the cliff and tried to pull the two of them up, but could not touch the rope anyway.
They are...powerless...
As time passed, Patton gradually lost strength while holding Natasha's hand...
"Let me go." Natasha said calmly, her tone as if she was coaxing a child who didn't want to sleep.
"No, don't do this." Patton's eyes were red and his voice was choked...
"It's fine."
Patton looked at Natasha's eyes sadly, and begged in a trembling voice: "Please..."
Natasha smiled gently, stepped on the cliff with her feet, and used force to break free from Patton's hand, and fell to the bottom of the cliff, without any fear of death in her eyes...
The smoke gradually dissipated... Natasha at the bottom of the cliff fell to the ground, and the blood flowing from behind her head soaked a large area of ground, like an angel bathed in blood...
"No!!"
Banner roared and pounded the ground and cried, while the real Natasha came over from one side and lowered her head and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's okay, that's just something that might happen."
The illusion gradually dissipated, and everyone returned to the base, and there was silence. No one came out of the sad scene of Natasha's sacrifice just now, even if Natasha was standing by their side now...
Because all this is so real, so real that almost everyone thinks this is what is about to happen...
James Rhodes punched the table loudly: "What a fuck, we seem to be in a dilemma multiple-choice question."
Scott Long swung his head and quickly swept across everyone in the conference room: "So, don't we have any other way?"
When everyone heard this, they fell into silent thoughts, and no one could answer his question.
At this most troublesome moment, Kuro spoke indifferently: "The solution is not without it."
Sure enough, as soon as Kuro finished speaking, everyone's puzzled eyes were cast.
Seeing this, Kuro smiled slightly and asked, "Who has ever obtained the Soul Gem in history?"
Everyone in the conference room had an answer immediately, and everyone's expressions were frozen. Steve Rogers quickly looked up at Clinton Francis Patton and blurted out: "Thanos!"
James Rhodes sat in his seat, his original sorrow disappeared, instead of his gradually opened mouth and incredible expression: "You mean..."
A crazy idea began to linger in his mind.
"No!" Tony Stark immediately denied, and he said firmly: "It's too dangerous to grab a gem from Thanos!"
When Steve Rogers saw Tony's reaction, he frowned and began to measure this method well in his mind.
After a while, Steve made a decision and then said, "Tony, it may be an opportunity to grab the gem from Thanos."
When Tony heard this, he mocked: "Is there a chance to die?"
"Captain, why don't you remind Tony who cut Thanos' head off?" Thor suddenly waved his hand, and a breaking wind immediately rushed open the door of the conference room and flew towards Thor's hand.
