American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 144 Oath

Far from the S.H.I.E.L.D. building, the wide streets were completely blocked off, but there were no ordinary people inside; the streets were full of Hydra agents and special forces.

They were ignoring the safety of the residents and continuing to exchange fire, not to directly stop the aircraft carrier, but to separately arrest and protect Pierce.

His helicopter crashed during flight, but unfortunately he was unharmed. Now many agents are trying to protect him.

Because of Li Buying's actions, Pierce's order to launch the aircraft carrier caused the whole situation to spiral out of control, leaving Steve Rogers and the others with no time to prepare a solution.

The only option now is to take Pierce hostage and force him to order his men to destroy all the motherships.

There's basically no need to worry about that. Hydra's lower ranks almost never betray the higher ranks; the lower ranks are mostly people brainwashed by their "faith."

What amused and angered the mutants was that both teams had a large number of mutant warriors.

A small portion of the management team did not wear any threatening devices, but a larger portion of the members wore bomb bracelets or similar items to varying degrees.

The two sides continued to fire at each other, with the mutants' powers mostly playing a supporting role, resulting in a surprisingly evenly matched situation.

Of course, the main reason is that weapons of mass destruction cannot be dropped into cities, and the higher-ups still have to consider the consequences to some extent.

In contrast, countless missiles were being launched towards the aircraft carrier on the sea surface. Nick Fury had already informed some high-ranking officers of the situation after the aircraft carrier had ascended to high altitude via anonymous information.

Anyone who challenges Hydra's rule will be targeted by the mothership, meaning that all high-ranking U.S. officials could be affected.

How could these people who value their lives allow something that threatens their lives to take to the air? They decisively dispatched all available forces to deal with the mothership.

However, although one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s strategic weapons had been destroyed before, that was because of Loki. Now, facing those missiles, it is revealing its true power.

The aircraft carrier emitted an extremely intense electromagnetic wave, causing all tracking missiles to become ineffective and fall into the water. At the same time, the weapons on the airship aimed at the missiles that had not been shot down and detonated them in the air in advance.

The aircraft carrier seemed impregnable, with no way to destroy it. Just when everyone was extremely anxious, the appearance of a figure broke the status quo.

The classic blue, white, and red shields flew out from the crowd, spinning rapidly through the air and striking the heads of the Hydra warriors repeatedly, causing them to fall to the ground one after another, their fates unknown.

Someone got up and lunged forward, trying to seize the shield, but the shield suddenly veered back at an odd angle in mid-air and flew directly back into the hand of one of the men.

Music seemed to play all around them, and everyone looked at the man standing in the car. Many showed excitement: "Captain!"

Captain America looked ahead at the team of Hydra agents, his gaze drifting further into the distance as he frowned deeply.

Raising his shield to block the sniper bullet, Captain America jumped off the roof of the vehicle and began discussing countermeasures with the others. After a conversation and a plan was finalized, he immediately disappeared.

"Fire! All of you damned, open fire!"

With several similar roars, Captain America's side intensified their firepower, suppressing the Hydra forces.

The Hydra warriors fought back fiercely, but suddenly a shield shattered the window of a street shop and flew straight out, bouncing around the crowd in an absurd way.

Many people's attention was drawn to the shield, and no one noticed that a figure was quietly moving through the Hydra's large force from the store from which the shield flew.

"Quick, grab it!"

The shields didn't kill many people, but they completely disrupted Hydra's formation and severely hampered their attacks. The commander immediately shouted for the mutants with grabbing abilities to stop the shields.

The mutant with supersonic speed leaped high into the air in an attempt to grab the flying shield, but suddenly a hole appeared in its head, and its body fell to the ground.

In a gunfight, someone with little defensive capability who dares to jump like that is more or less in a bad state.

Fortunately, the shield's force gradually weakened. Just when Hydra thought the matter was over, the falling shield suddenly seemed to be attracted by something and regained its momentum!

Steve, who had darted behind the main force, raised his palm to face the shield, and a slight electric current emanated from his gloves.

This is the equipment Tony left him: two magnetic gloves that work with the shield. With these magnetic gloves, he can guide and control the shield, and even re-energize it.

After the shield regained its power and bounced a few times, it flew into the building. Only then did the Hydra realize what was going on and immediately sent people to stop Captain America from advancing.

However, they had no way to stop Steve, who was determined to move forward. With the equipment provided by Tony, he was like a fish in water and quickly broke into their temporary base.

As he rushed inside, an iron fist suddenly blasted out from inside the door. Captain America quickly placed his shield in front of his chest to block the powerful attack. When he looked up, the appearance of the person in front of him shocked him.

"Bucky!"

Steve shouted, but his old friend on the other side ignored him and continued his attack without expression. Just then, Pierce's smug voice came from inside the building:

"Oh, my dear captain, aren't you happy to see your old friend?"

The culprit behind it all was sitting comfortably on a sofa in the underground safe room, with a confident expression on his face.

Indeed, that is the case. As long as Captain America cannot capture himself, once the aircraft carrier takes off, no human will be able to stop Hydra's great undertaking!

In fact, neither Hydra nor S.H.I.E.L.D. knew one thing: Thor had already returned to Earth, at least not yet. He had kept it well hidden.

"Damn it, what did you do to Bucky!?"

Captain America and Bucky exchanged blows, but because Captain America held back and showed mercy, he was unable to fight Bucky and was gradually losing ground.

The iron fist slammed into the wall, punching holes one after another, and Pierce's repulsive voice rang out again:

"It was just a little brainwashing, no need to make a fuss. Besides, shouldn't you be more concerned about the aircraft carrier? Look at the sky, the Winter Soldier, break down the wall."

Upon hearing Pierce's command, Bucky slammed his steel arm against the broken wall with all his might. Sunlight streamed in, and Steve instinctively looked up at the sky.

Although he couldn't see anything, he could tell from Pierce's words that it was too late to stop the plan.

"Hahaha, now is the age of Hydra, the age of me!"

Pierce shouted arrogantly as the computer in front of him displayed figures calculated by the "Zola Algorithm" who posed a threat to Hydra's rule, ready to purge these members at any moment.

If someone were here, he could see everyone's name—

Stephen Strange, Peter Parker, Frank Castle (The Punisher), Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Victor von Doom (Doctor Doom)...

The most serious threat, however, is Li Buying, who stands atop the S.H.I.E.L.D. building!

The beam weapon on the first aircraft carrier that had reached high altitude began to change direction, aiming at his location, and slowly began to charge up.

Just as the Hydra members were gloating and Captain America was filled with despair, the giant screen erected on the street suddenly lit up again, showing the situation at S.H.I.E.L.D.

A group of superpowered individuals are standing atop a skyscraper, displaying an inexplicable charm.

……

"Master, please be aware that the aircraft carrier that has taken to the air has locked onto you."

"Okay, broadcast the situation here to the whole world and get Magneto and Professor X here."

Upon learning that the aircraft carrier had taken off and locked onto her, Li Buying immediately ordered Ai Yi to broadcast the scene on the building and also notified two other important people.

Most people around the world saw Li Buying and the superpowered individuals who originally belonged to Hydra behind him. Soon, Magneto and Professor X were also brought over by the panting Red Devil.

Pierce suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and realized something was wrong. Many other people, including him, instinctively stood up.

Magneto and Professor X are both very famous mutants, even in human society. Now that they've gotten together, something big is definitely going to happen.

Having prior knowledge of the script, Magneto looked up at the aircraft carrier thousands of meters away, which posed a great threat to his life. Beside him came Li Buying's voice:

"Leave that to me, you guys are in charge of the speeches."

Eric Lansher glanced back at the white-haired Quicksilver and the red-haired Scarlet Witch, while giving Li Buying a meaningful look.

He never expected that the child he had met before was also a superhuman, and that he was in cahoots with the Prophet and the Weaver.

Magneto pushed Professor X forward a step, and the two loudly proclaimed:

"I, Magneto, Eric Lansheer—" "I, Professor X, Charles Francis Xavier—"

"We hereby declare an alliance."

"To all my fellow mutants, to the superhumans who are constantly persecuted, and to all those who love them."

Professor X said gently, "We will establish a place exclusively for superpowered individuals on Life Island in the Pacific Ocean, welcoming all kind, patient superpowered individuals who do not wish to endure persecution."

The moment he uttered those words, a huge uproar swept through society. High-ranking officials from several countries stood up, while the superpowered individuals who originally belonged to Hydra behind the three men gradually became excited and invigorated.

At this moment, they felt that they had also participated in a major event that would influence the course of the world.

Magneto exudes a cold aura: "We will resolutely fight against those forces that persecute our fellow mutants and our friends with superpowers, ensuring that the good will not weep and that the evil will not be tolerated."

These mutants were serious. Everyone realized that.

Iron Man, who was on vacation, suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with seriousness and confusion, but he still boarded his armor and flew to New York.

Inside the Fantastic Four's building, Mr. Fantastic, who was trying to figure out how to deal with the aircraft carrier, stopped and focused on watching the broadcast.

The leaders of those countries that frequently experimented on mutants and superhumans and did not treat them as human beings panicked. They kept calling the leaders of other countries and contacting their militaries, trying to find the country that had not yet been established and destroy it completely.

The street heroes were bewildered by the sudden turn of events and could only wait and see, but people like Daredevil realized that the world was about to change.

When Magneto and Professor X said these words together, there were only two possible outcomes for the mutants—

You either fail to survive and fall to the bottom, or you survive and rise to the top.

Fortunately, not all countries officially hate mutants; unfortunately, there is a superpower that is eyeing mutants covetously.

As the two continued speaking, the aircraft carrier's beam shifted, and as they spoke, the "Zola Algorithm" became slightly confused, quickly calculating a new future.

The threat from the X-Men and the Brotherhood has reached its peak, in addition to Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and others. Magneto and Professor X have also been replaced at the top of the list.

The fully charged beam of light was fired instantly. Li Buying, who was prepared, raised her hand to release a shield. The intense energy beam hit the shield but did not penetrate it at all.

Several more attacks came from afar, their energy and power gradually increasing, exceeding Li Buying's defensive limits without using gravity shields.

He immediately took out the Gravityon and reconstructed the shield, using the protective force field of the Cosmic Cube on it. The shield, which seemed to be cracked, immediately stabilized.

However, due to the influence of the live broadcast, someone in a small country witnessed Gravitonium raging in a state of impotent fury.

Once the two were at ease, Magneto, who was ready to unleash his powers at any moment, continued his speech with Professor X. One played the good cop and the other the bad cop, and soon all the mutants were captivated by the speech.

As for ordinary people, they currently welcome them, since they believe that their lives will be much safer once the evil mutants described by the authorities leave.

During the speech, two other aircraft carriers also flew into the sky and launched a full-scale attack, but they were unable to destroy the shield that Li Buying had built.

Shortly after, the two finished their speeches. Just as Red Devil was about to lead them away, Li Buying pointed to the group behind her and said, "Take them with you too. I'll handle the rest."

The figures on the building vanished without a trace, but the aircraft carriers did not change their target. In fact, after Li Buying took out the gravity crystal, the three carriers had been targeting him.

Once everyone had left, Li Buying took a deep breath, knowing it was time for her to put on an act. Under the influence of [Gravity Mastery], she floated up, and in addition to the Gravity Ring, the Holy Ark also came into her hand.

P.S.: The word count is still the same. Two 2000-word chapters are combined into one 4000-word chapter. This makes it easier to write, and I don't have to keep thinking about how to break the chapter in the middle.
