Chen Ang stood on the Statue of Liberty and looked down at the ruins. From the New York Harbor to the Hudson River, broken concrete and tumbling earth formed a wasteland. Broken rocks, messy steel, and corpses dotted the wasteland. Everything that used to be on this land had disappeared. The army, the agents, the bunkers, and the buildings …
They were buried under billions of tons of soil and were sucked into the millstone made of concrete and rock. Their bodies were smashed to pieces, and their flesh seeped out of the soil, dyeing the ground dark red.
Chen Ang had wiped out nearly four levels of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s elites with a flip of his hand!
Many outstanding agents and soldiers had fought with the hope of victory, but all they received was death.
Chen Ang stood above freedom and trampled on honor and faith. Around him, death and despair were everywhere. A suffocating sadness pervaded the entire battlefield. Although there was only one target, this conflict had already surpassed the scope of 'crime' or 'attack'. It had become a war.
A war between a man and a country.
On the other side, around the battlefield, the New Yorkers who saw this war felt a violent shock. The Pentagon, which was monitoring this place through satellites and electronic equipment, was also deathly silent. When the pillar of soil soared into the sky, all of New York saw it, and when it landed, the entire city felt it.
A large stone hand lifted up the huge concrete slab buried above his head. The stone golem used its body to protect Su as it crawled back to the surface. Mister Miracle came out from the other side, and Thunderflame also flew back. Seeing this bitter battlefield, he suddenly became speechless.
"Oh my god!" Su covered his mouth.
"Did you call me?" Chen Ang floated in front of them.
"What did we do? What did you do? " Mr. Miraculous, Reid, looked around in fear. He asked in a trembling voice, "Look at what you've done! Is this what you want? "
"Yes!" Chen Ang replied calmly, "Perhaps you think I'm a butcher, but from my point of view, this isn't something difficult to accept. Is life worthy of respect? Of course it is, but for me, life doesn't represent the survival of the body, but a more fundamental manifestation.
"Death is merely the cycle of life. There was no need to cover up the hypocrisy and darkness. They are only embarking on a journey of life. "
"But you killed them!" Reid said angrily, "You killed thousands of soldiers who had loved ones and children. You personally destroyed the happiness of thousands of families."
"I'm sorry. But does it have any special meaning to me? " Chen Ang tilted his head and asked. He manipulated gravity to push away the pile of dirt beside him, revealing a young face. "In nature, trees grow and wither with each passing year. Would you be upset because you plucked a flower early? Next season, it will grow again. Life is the same! "
The young corpse buried in the soil suddenly coughed violently. He struggled out of the ground and looked at everything in front of him blankly. When he saw Chen Ang's iconic mask, he raised the automatic rifle in his hand in surprise.
"Does time have any meaning?" Chen Ang shook his head.
"No!" The wounds on the resurrected soldier's face quickly disappeared, and he became younger. He looked at the rifle in his hand in surprise, as if he did not understand why he was wearing a military uniform.
"Is death worth fearing?"
"It is not!" The soldier's height suddenly shrank. He looked as young as a high school student. His eyes still had the sloppiness and unruliness of young people, and some tattoos of vulgarities appeared on his arms.
"If the truth of the world is revealed to you, you will find that life is like a small segment on a timeline. You will realize that life is like a small segment in a timeline. If a point on it disappears, it will be meaningless to the entire segment of life! " Chen Ang looked into Reid's eyes and suddenly said, "Since you feel guilty, uneasy, and remorseful because of this, I will give you a chance."
A pop-up window appeared in front of Reid.
"Do you want to read the archive?"
"If you choose 'yes', everything will return to how it was before. Everything will return to how it was three days ago, and so will your memories. "Chen Ang pointed at his head and said," 'yes' or 'no'. "
Reid could already see that the young soldier had returned to his childhood. He was wearing a large military uniform, and his small face was filled with confusion. He looked only seven or eight years old, then five or six years old. Three or four years old, and finally turned into a baby and disappeared. He stood before the pop-up window helplessly, and the world suddenly felt incredibly surreal.
This huge sense of alienation seemed to have sucked him dry. Even the voice of his girlfriend beside him seemed unreal. He was in a trance and extremely confused. He felt like there was a voice in his heart telling him, "Eleven times!"
"Reid!" His girlfriend's voice seemed to come from beyond the sky, distorted and unclear.
He did not know where this extreme impulse came from, but he fiercely slapped the 'no' option. His expression was terrifyingly savage, and it even scared Su.
"Reid! Reid, wake up! Don't look into that demon's eyes! "Su held Reid's head.
"You've chosen eleven times. Have you finally changed this time?" Chen Ang nodded.
"What eleven times?" Reid pushed away Su's support. "You're saying that the timeline has been adjusted eleven times? You're saying that I've returned to the past, and then stood here and made the same choice? Over and over again? Until now! You can't fool me! You can't fool me! This is illogical! "Reid roared.
"Humans can't return to the past!" Reid's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he said firmly.
"Not in other worlds, but this world is different." Chen Ang was wearing a mask, and his tone was unusually calm.
The savage expression on Reid's face was terrifying. He was completely destroyed. Su hugged him tightly and kept reminding him, "Don't look into his eyes! Don't look into his eyes! Everything is just an illusion! Don't fall into his trap! "
"Did you see that option window?" Reid asked her in surprise.
"What option window?" Su was stunned for a moment. When she understood, she pressed her forehead against Reid's head and said softly, "Don't believe what you see, don't believe your memories, and don't believe that demon's words! Trust me! "
After a while, Reid finally calmed down. He gently kissed Su and whispered, "I believe in you!" Su excitedly hugged Reid in her arms and sobbed, "You finally defeated him. Do you know how scared I was?! That person was like a demon playing with us. It was like you were possessed just now. "
Reid hugged Su, but he said inwardly, I'm sorry, Su. He's not the one who failed, but me. I was defeated by him. I need to find the truth, or I'll fail for the rest of my life.
"He's not destroying us, nor is he fighting against us. He's choosing time and creating the world. He knows his influence on the outcome and direction of this world. He's controlling the world. Our past, present, and future are just a timeline in his eyes, a process and outcome that he can control.
"I'm sorry, Su. I won't allow our world to be played by him like a game where he can load at will! I won't allow him to deny the meaning of our existence and the dignity of our lives. Even if I do this and think this is what he wants, I will fight to the end! For our freedom to exist …
"I will fall into the darkness to search for the light!"
Reid let go of Su's hand and slashed the back of her neck.
Su's eyes rolled back and she fainted in Reid's arms. "Reid, what are you doing?" Thunderflame was shocked. Reid handed Sue over to him and sneered, "Get lost! You bunch of ants! "
"Reid!" The rock golem wanted to charge forward, but he was restrained by the powerful gravity. Reid walked behind Chen Ang step by step, silently looking at his former companion. His blue Fantastic Four uniform was gradually dyed with darkness. The deep black fabric extended from his shoulders, dragging a long cape behind him.
The former Mr. Fantastic, Reid, wrapped in a sinister black robe, stood behind Chen Ang and looked coldly at his companion.
"Divine Lord! S.H.I.E.L.D. has other plans! " Reid explained to Chen Ang, "In order to deal with you, they invited the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., Pym, and Tonny Stark to develop a new weapon against Skynet. Now that all of New York knows about the commotion here, many superheroes will be rushing over. "
"You're truly a talent to be able to join my Doomsday Church!" Chen Ang praised.
