A crossover movie viewing experience, kicking off Marvel's Endgame.

[Countless Leviathans, their numbers as incalculable as the Chitauri soldiers invading Earth, surrounded a colossal warship. Zhuge Cong couldn't determine whether it was a warship or a super war behemoth like the Leviathans.]

Zhuge Cong slowly closed his eyes. Looking directly at the nuclear explosion would destroy his eyes; he didn't want his corpse to be a disfigured one.

The nuclear missile was delivered to the massive warship and then exploded silently with a deafening roar, creating a gigantic fireball as dazzling as the sun. The fireball rapidly expanded, instantly engulfing the massive warship and reducing it to ashes. The Leviathans surrounding the warship also turned to ash.

[On Earth, the Chitauri soldiers collapsed to the ground like robots without power the instant their warship was destroyed; in the sky, the Leviathan's purple light vanished instantly, and its massive body crashed into the city.]

"Come back quickly, Zhuge Cong."

Captain Rogers looked up at the shrinking portal in the sky and prayed silently.

"Come back, or I'll expose your browsing history."

[Hachiman Hikigaya, too, watched the wormhole shrink and thought to himself.]

293: Loki: If I could, I'd like a drink.

"Browsing history".

Natsuki Subaru discovered a blind spot. He was originally very serious, but after hearing that Zhuge Cong's browsing history was going to be revealed, he started to think in a slightly skewed way.

Natsuki Subaru didn't even dare to imagine how impressive Zhuge Cong's browsing history was. Natsuki Subaru estimated that if Zhuge Cong wanted to, with the help of the AI ​​Jarvis, he could probably collect all the websites in the world and then accurately filter out content that matched his own preferences.

Then Natsuki Subaru shook this somewhat terrible thought out of his head.

Natsuki Subaru knew that Hikigaya Hachiman was just thinking this way, hoping that his friend could return safely. If Zhuge Cong had really sacrificed himself on the other side, Natsuki Subaru felt that Hikigaya Hachiman would not do such an inhumane thing as exposing Zhuge Cong's browsing history. Moreover, Natsuki Subaru felt that a person like Zhuge Cong did not need to watch videos; he could just go and fight in real combat.

Moreover, as Natsuki Subaru watched the red and yellow figure dragging a nuclear bomb into the portal, he couldn't help but feel from the bottom of his heart how... brave Zhuge Cong's actions were.

"Close the door."

Captain Rogers looked up for a long time but couldn't see Zhuge Cong. He worried that if the portal remained open, something might happen that would render Zhuge Cong's "sacrifice" pointless.

[Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Black Widow Vermouth, having heard Captain Rogers' words, was about to thrust her Mind Control Scepter down when she heard Hachiman Hikigaya's voice.]

"Don't turn it off yet, wait a little while, just one minute, just one minute."

[Hachiman Hikigaya addressed the crowd, and everyone knew that Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong had a very close relationship. They found it difficult to accept Zhuge Cong's "sacrifice," so as a sign of respect, a kind of silent mourning, and out of a glimmer of hope, they waited silently for a minute.]

A minute passed. Through the invisible membrane, the portal in the sky could see the nuclear explosion on the other side. Hachiman Hikigaya bowed his head in grief, and Vermouth, the Black Widow, thrust her Mind Staff into the Tesseract. Instantly, the Tesseract's supply to the portal was cut off, and the huge, eerie blue pillar of light in the sky vanished.

Just before the portal closed, Zhuge Cong precisely timed his fall, plummeting through the portal in freefall.

The crowd, still grieving over Zhuge Cong's sacrifice, showed expressions of joy when they saw his falling figure. Even though they hadn't confirmed whether Zhuge Cong was alive, seeing that figure made them instinctively feel that he had returned alive.

"You're really something, kid."

[Rogers gazed at the figure in the sky and sighed. Watching Zhuge Cong drag the nuclear bomb into the portal, Captain Rogers was reminded of the time he himself had piloted a plane, intending to perish with the Tesseract, though he hadn't succeeded in destroying the Tesseract.]

"You really need to thank me properly; I bought you a precious minute."

[Hachiman Hikigaya, watching Zhuge Cong's retreating figure, said, "If he hadn't deliberately bought himself another minute, Zhuge Cong probably wouldn't be back by now."]

"It was a precious minute, a golden minute."

Hoshino Aiku looked at the screen and said, "As a former doctor, I know that even a minute is very important at certain moments. The minute that Hachiman Hikigaya bought for Zhuge Cong on the screen was like a highly efficient escort for the patient to arrive at the hospital a minute early. That minute was the precious minute that pulled the patient back from the brink of death."

For Hoshino Aika, looking at the light screen actually had a hidden idea: to see if she could find out why she was reborn in this form after death.

Originally, the greatest hope lay with Thor, after all, he was a god in mythology. But now it seems that he is just a very powerful alien who has landed on Earth and has been recorded as a god.

"He didn't slow down at all."

Just as Thor, below, was about to share some thoughts like Captain Rogers, he suddenly noticed that Zhuge Cong's speed hadn't decreased but seemed to be increasing. Thor, swinging his hammer, prepared to fly up and catch Zhuge Cong. Upon hearing Thor's words, Hachiman Hikigaya also rushed forward, heading towards Zhuge Cong's location.

[Just as Hachiman Hikigaya took flight, a massive green figure sped towards Zhuge Cong even faster. The Hulk caught the free-falling Zhuge Cong and landed on a building, leaving a deep gash in its wake. With a powerful push, the Hulk, still holding Zhuge Cong, plummeted like a cannonball onto a bridge. Fortunately, Zhuge Cong, caught in the Hulk's arms, was unharmed.]

"Snap."

The Hulk tossed Zhuge Cong aside as if he were a toy, and the Avengers rushed over.

Is he still breathing?

[As Thor spoke, he flipped Zhuge Cong over so that his face was facing up, and then reached out and removed Zhuge Cong's mask.]

Rogers approached but couldn't hear Zhuge Cong's breathing. He reached out and touched Zhuge Cong's chest to check his heartbeat, but found he was wearing armor and couldn't get a clear reading.

"The light went out, and he died... too."

[After Hachiman Hikigaya landed, he looked at Zhuge Cong's peaceful face and noticed the mini arc reactor on Zhuge Cong's chest dimming. Hachiman knew what this dimming meant for Zhuge Cong; it was like Ultraman's light bulb going out. After all, Zhuge Cong wasn't like him or the new Ultramen who didn't have a light bulb on their chests. Zhuge Cong needed the mini arc reactor to stay alive, while he didn't need a light bulb.]

Captain Rogers, Thor, Vermouth (Black Widow), Shirou Emiya (Hawkeye), Shinnosuke Nohara (Spider-Man), and Kazuto Kirigaya (Daredevil) all wore deeply sorrowful expressions. The Hulk, seemingly sensing Senku Ishigami's grief and disliking the somber atmosphere, roared at Zhuge Cong, who lay on the ground looking "peaceful."

"Ugh!"

"Haahahahaha."

[And surprisingly, Zhuge Cong was also startled awake by the Hulk's roar.]

[When the Hulk saw that Zhuge Cong had woken up, he roared to the sky, and the city streets, though empty, still echoed with the Hulk's roar.]

【"what the hell?"】

"what the hell?"

"Was I woken up by the Hulk's roar?"

Novel No. 8

"What, you don't actually want Iron Man to die? Fine, fine, I've got something on you, I'm going to report you."

"Damn it, why would I want Iron Man to die? I was just a little surprised. I never thought Iron Man would wake up like this."

It wasn't that Kitahara Iori wanted Zhuge Cong to die there, but rather that she hadn't expected him to wake up in this way. Kitahara Iori's initial thought was that Zhuge Cong would need to be in the hospital for at least a day or two before waking up, and even after waking up, he would be weak in bed for at least three or four days and unable to speak.

Who would have thought that I would be scared by the Hulk's roar like this?

"Me too. Who would have guessed that Iron Man would be woken up by the Hulk's shout? I thought it would be his lover crying on his chest."

"Then she cried as she recounted their memories together. Everyone present listened to Zhuge Cong's lover's recollections and cried along with her. In the end, Zhuge Cong's lover's tears flowed onto Zhuge Cong's face."

"Tears fell onto Zhuge Cong's eyes, slid down his face like a relay race, and finally flowed into his mouth, and Zhuge Cong slowly recovered."

Kohei Imamura shared his thoughts, while Iori Kitahara listened to him and glanced at the anime girl design on his chest, wondering if he was incorporating the plot of that anime series into his analysis.

[“What’s going on?”]

"Didn't I die? Does that mean you all died with me?"

"Did the nuclear explosion go through the portal or still bomb Sector L? Did I work for nothing?"

[Zhuge Cong looked at the bewildered Avengers around him and said, "My last memory is of sending the nuclear bomb into the portal, then closing my eyes and waiting for death."]

"That's right, everyone died with you. Don't worry, I played the hero for once; I released your browsing history and bookmarks."

[Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Zhuge Cong lying on the ground and said, seeing that Zhuge Cong was not dead, Hachiman Hikigaya's original sorrow subsided.]

【"What are you doing?"】

[Shirou Emiya suddenly noticed that the boy in the red bodysuit beside him had quickly pulled out his phone after hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words. Shirou wondered if he was calling home to let them know he was safe.]

"I need to save this! Mr. Zhuge Cong will definitely delete those records later, so I need to write them down first."

Although Nohara Shinnosuke said this, he didn't actually look for the Zhuge Cong he mentioned. He knew Hachiman was just being overly enthusiastic; he took out his phone because his "special follower" had messaged him. Nohara Shinnosuke only had three people on his "special follower": his parents and sister. He decided to let his family know he was safe.

"Ha, impossible, Jarvis has been keeping an eye on things for me."

At this point, Zhuge Cong also recovered and realized he was not dead.

"By the way, I hope no one's going to give me CPR."

"I pumped the air in for you."

[Hachiman Hikigaya said, while Captain Rogers, standing beside him, glanced around the city and then looked up at the sky.]

"We have won."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Cong lowered his head, which had been held high, and then spoke.

"The nuclear bombs weren't a waste of time! Great! Hooray! Let's skip work tomorrow and take a day off!"

"Anyone want to eat barbecue? I just saw a barbecue restaurant about two blocks away from here, I'd like to try it."

"It's not over yet?"

[Thor looked at the Zhuge Building and spoke. The others also looked at the location of the Zhuge Building, because there was still a very important person there who hadn't been dealt with.]

"Oh no, Loki's doomed. He's going to be dealt with now."

Zenitsu Agatsuma, seeing the Avengers members on the screen all giving him "you're in for a treat" looks, knew that Loki was about to have a good "enjoyment."

"I knew we could win."

Tanjiro Kamado saw Captain Rogers announce the victory and said with a sigh of relief that seeing L District turned into a battlefield, with a large number of people dying in the war and the once prosperous city reduced to ruins, Tanjiro Kamado felt it was no wonder and wanted to question those guys about what they valued their lives for.

"I really want to rush in and fight those aliens."

Hashibira Inosuke rolled up his sleeves and looked at the light screen, saying...

[Inside the Zhuge Building, Loki had just propped himself up to sit when he sensed something strange about the atmosphere. Turning his head, he saw the entire Avengers staring at him menacingly.]

"If you don't mind, I'd like a drink now."

Loki's words echoed the earlier discussion about Zhuge Cong stalling for time, but Loki's stalling was futile; the Avengers wouldn't give him the chance.

"Alright, let him get up. We'll have plenty of chances to show off our coolness."
