The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 553 The Covenant Still Exists

"Our covenant still stands, Captain."

Yang Le saw Steve's concerns and gave him a reassurance directly without hiding anything. After all, the movie universe could become what it is today and it was indeed inseparable from him.

But why did Yang Le feel so familiar with this kind of operation where someone made such a solemn promise and then was taken away by the villains? He seemed to have seen it in the real universe.

That’s right! It’s that unbearable memory called Apocalypse Star…

"vomit!"

The memory of death suddenly attacked Yang Le's brain. The memory was so shitty that Yang Le really couldn't help but vomit it out.

Fortunately, he has now become Puba. His unique physiological structure prevents him from being able to spit out a large pool of semi-solid and semi-liquid vomit. The most he can spit out now is a little gas.

But this was enough to scare Steve and the other two. When they heard Yang Le say that he would continue to help them, Steve and the others were very happy. But who could have thought that Puba would start vomiting in the next second and spit out several streams of gas of different colors.

"Mr. Puba, are you okay?" Steve was about to step forward, but Puba stopped him with his hand.

"I'm fine, it's just that an old injury has relapsed." Yang Le waved his hand and also declined Clint's support behind him.

"It seems that we are not having an easy time." Steve smiled bitterly. He thought that Puba was really injured, and automatically imagined the reason why the Tiangongs disappeared. He thought that they must have encountered some powerful enemy or participated in some war, right?

Strictly speaking, Steve was not wrong. Yang Le did encounter a powerful enemy (DC animation) and did participate in a war (Apocalypse War). This war not only caused Yang Le to be injured, but also countless American comic fans were hurt.

To round it off, Tiangong was almost destroyed!

"I guess so." Yang Le placed his hand on the respirator emblazoned with the Omnitrix logo and adjusted it. "After leaving your universe, we did experience quite a few wars."

This is also true. The zombie universe and the Protoss, these two alone surpass the threats faced by the movie universe at this time. One almost destroyed an entire universe, and the other almost destroyed all parallel universes.

"Our...universe?" Natasha frowned. "What does that mean?"

Obviously, this sentence was beyond her comprehension. If it were Tony and other highly intelligent characters here, they should be able to understand what Yang Le said, but the people present were obviously not within this range.

"Do you know the theory of parallel universes?" Yang Le calmed his churning stomach and continued after seeing several people nod.

"That's good to know. Although it may deviate from the theory, it's true. The scope of the Tiangong Association's work isn't limited to just one universe. We fight for the entire multiverse."

"I'm sorry, I can't quite follow what you said." Steve looked embarrassed, but Natasha beside him came to his rescue.

"It's very simple, Captain. You can convert the universe into a city. What Puffba means is that they are not just local police officers, but agents similar to S.H.I.E.L.D. who have omnipotent powers."

"That's also the explanation." Puba nodded helplessly. Although it wasn't completely correct, it would take too much time to explain it in detail, so it was better to skip it if possible.

Steve's eyes still held a hint of clarity. He felt he'd have to let Tony fill him in when he got back, even if Tony used harsh words. "This is why we all left so suddenly. Simply put, a bunch of lunatics appeared in the multiverse, and they wanted to destroy all the universes. The Heavenly Union urgently summoned all the plumbers to stop them."

Yang Le simplified the matter of surpassing the gods and told it as a pudding for the Tiangong that he had lied about.

Although one lie requires countless lies to maintain, Yang Le does not want to reveal his identity. After all, this may bring hostility from Steve and others. Even though they look the same as usual now, Yang Le knows that this is just an appearance.

After more than two years of brutal war, with their relatives and friends dying one after another and the recovered countries and planets falling, their mental state cannot be particularly good no matter how you think about it.

Yang Le was extremely glad that he turned into Puff. After all, they had seen the alien hero Steve before. If it was a completely new alien, it would probably take a lot of talking and even some physical manipulation.

If he can't defeat them, he can just build a Tiangong Association and make the vest real. It just so happens that he has given birth to a bunch of ice ghosts, and he can also get some lanterns to make up the number. Wouldn't it be easy to build a Tiangong Association?

Steve and others nodded. Although they didn't know whether what Yang Le said was true or false, at least this explanation made them feel better.

In fact, not to mention other people, even Steve couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Tiangong. After all, they agreed to fight the enemy together, so why did you run away when something really happened?

Although they knew that this matter could not be blamed on the Tiangong Association, no one is perfect, and it was good enough that Steve and the other two did not say anything.

After all, a gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart.

"I know it's a bit rude to ask," Steve said seriously. "But for the sake of our planet, I have to be rude."

"May I ask how many more people the Tiangong can support us with now?"

The reason why I said it was presumptuous was because Yang Le had previously said that Tiangong had just experienced a great battle, and he himself also showed some symptoms of discomfort. Although Puba did not seem to have any injuries, this could also be attributed to the different physiology of aliens.

At least Steve really wanted to believe what Yang Le said, otherwise he wouldn't have asked this question.

"As for manpower..." Yang Le hesitated and didn't say it directly. He was thinking about how to help Steve and others.

After all, Yang Le has the ability to pull Thanos down from his throne and beat him up. Even if Thanos is wearing a complete Infinity Gauntlet, he will not be Yang Le's opponent. Yang Le can win without even using X-Man.

However, Yang Le felt that he could not do this, all because of the previous OBA incident and Yongheng's words.

Flowers in a greenhouse cannot survive in the Marvel Universe, which is full of dangers. If I directly help Steve and others to clear the obstacles, what if the next Thanos comes?

Yang Le can't clean up their messes forever. He has to make the Avengers capable of standing on their own, or at least grow to the point where they can resolve cosmic crises.

Yang Le was reluctant to speak, and Steve and the others were feeling very anxious. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly occurred at the other end of the base.

"boom!"
