Superman Marvel Adventures

Back in the present, at the Hydra base in Siberia, Adam and Tony, enraged by the news of their father's death, want to kill Bucky, but Captain America intervenes. Of course, such intervention is useless to Adam and Tony.

In fact, Captain America knew that everything he did was futile, but he still needed to stop the two of them, even if it was somewhat presumptuous, because Bucky was, after all, his last friend.

Moreover, Captain America is not alone. Although he came with Bucky, he brought a locator with him. He is now sending a message to the Avengers who are with him, asking them to come and stop Adam and Iron Man.

The battle continued—or rather, it was a one-sided beating of the weak. After all, to Adam, Bucky's strength was indeed pathetic. Adam didn't want to kill Bucky right now; killing him outright would be far too unsatisfying. He just wanted to beat him up thoroughly.

"Cough cough, just kill me." Bucky opened his eyes with difficulty and said to Adam.

"Hmph, killing you would be too easy for you." After saying that, Adam grabbed the other's mechanical arm and said calmly, "You used this arm to kill my father, didn't you?"

Then, with a snap, Adam ripped Bucky's mechanical arm off his body. Bucky's loud screams didn't bother Adam at all; his mind was blinded by the rage of revenge, and he only thought about how to torture Bucky.

"Bucky, damn it, Tony, are you just going to stand by and watch your brother torture someone like this?" Captain America heard his friend's screams and wanted to help, but was stopped by Iron Man, who immediately scolded him.

"We are seeking revenge. There is no right or wrong in revenge, no justice or evil, only retribution!" Tony said calmly as he continued to block Captain America from entering.

"You're all insane! Damn it!" Captain America said, slamming his shield into Iron Man's chest and knocking him back, before walking toward Bucky.

Chapter 423 The Return of the Red Skull

Outside the Hydra secret base in Siberia, not long after Adam and Tony went inside, a person dressed in a full black bodysuit and wearing a leopard mask stepped down from a fighter jet parked nearby. However, instead of entering the Hydra base, the person carefully examined the ground for a while before turning and walking towards the cliff edge behind the base gate.

This man is Black Panther, who came with Bucky and Captain America to avenge his father. He was knocked unconscious on the way because he was hiding on the landing gear of a Quinjet fighter jet, and only woke up after Adam arrived.

He cautiously made his way to the cliff edge alone, relying on the lessons he had learned in Wakanda and following the marks on the ground. However, he did not see the scene he had imagined, which puzzled him greatly. He could tell that among the people who had come here, only this one person's footsteps were heading towards the cliff edge, and he had come from the Hydra base. But he did not see anyone else at the moment, which made Black Panther very confused.

He observed carefully for a while with doubt, and found some bloodstains on the snow. He immediately went over, took off his gloves, put a little blood in his mouth, and then spat it out.

"Blood, something must have happened here," he muttered to himself.

He then found some more clues nearby: a brown leather notebook that seemed to have been hidden in a hurry; and based on the marks on the ground, he knew that someone had just died here and been dragged away.

"Let me see what's inside."

Black Panther wasn't in a hurry to go in. After all, four people had already gone in, and he had seen someone else go in at the end, so there was no need for him to go in. The enhanced soldiers inside were no match for humans.

This notebook contains a diary, which everyone previously thought was written by Zemo, a psychologist. In the earlier part, it records some things about Zemo as a special forces soldier. Of course, the details of the missions are impossible to find, but there are also some happy moments. And all of this changed on a certain date.

From that date onward, words about revenge appeared repeatedly in the diary. As Black Panther delved deeper into the diary's contents, he was shocked! All of this, which had almost caused the Avengers to split up—no, it had already caused the Avengers to fall apart—was actually orchestrated by an elite special forces soldier. Although Zemo also mentioned many of his doubts, such as the ease with which the intrusion into the meeting place was made and the laxity of the inspection of the German special forces base, Zemo, who was single-mindedly focused on revenge, clearly didn't think much of it, or rather, he didn't care at all whether he had become someone else's pawn. Everything proceeded according to his own plan.

The starting point of this episode is a piece of information he accidentally learned during a mission: the true cause of Howard Stark's death.

"Oh no, if what's in the diary is true, then they're going to have another civil war."

Black Panther sighed, suddenly realizing how terrifying hatred could make a person. An ordinary person, driven by deep-seated hatred and the desire for revenge, had actually turned a team of world-saving heroes into a civil war. Although government intervention played a part, everything was ultimately proceeding according to Zemo's plan.

"No, we have to stop this." Black Panther frowned as he thought. Moreover, the bloodstains here seemed to indicate that those who used Zemo as a pawn had taken action. If that was the case, then the rest of the story would definitely not follow Zemo's script.

Thinking this, Black Panther placed the diary back into the crevice and walked towards the gate of the Hydra base. Just then, a magic door suddenly appeared, and the two people who had fought with them at the airport and Scarlet Witch Wanda appeared there.

"It's you again," Wanda said curiously after seeing the black panther.

"It's me, but don't misunderstand, I already know the whole story. By the way, what brings you here?" Black Panther asked, puzzled.

"The captain called for help, saying he had a disagreement with Adam and the others and they started fighting." Although Wanda didn't quite believe Black Panther, she figured her side had the numbers, so she didn't lie.

“This is all an unstoppable battle.” Black Panther shook his head and said, “I just want to see if I can stop them, but if you get involved, it will only complicate things further.”

"Alright, there's no time for that. Since people have attacked them, it means that guy was right. People are far too dangerous for this world." After saying that, Zatanna immediately walked inside. Clearly, the Injustice League incident had made this woman resentful towards people.

"What a nuisance. Let's go inside and talk first." Constantine took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and frowned as he looked at the Hydra base, thinking to himself, 'Another strange power is in there. Sigh, more trouble. It's all that guy's fault!'

And so, the group entered Hydra's base together. Due to Captain America's selfishness, Constantine and Zatanna had clearly misunderstood him. As for Wanda's presence, it was Zatanna's idea; after all, magic attacks are more effective against human opponents, which is no secret in the DC universe. Black Panther was simply there to observe how things unfolded. Although he wanted to stop the battle, he knew that no one would listen to him, something he had already realized when he prepared to go in.

After all, it's large, has maximum physical defense, and zero magic defense—this is common knowledge in another universe.

The four men entered the relatively dark Hydra base. They hadn't gone far when they encountered two figures emerging from within, causing both sides to be greatly surprised. Constantine, in particular, was astonished; after all, no one could remain calm after seeing a skull, especially a blood-red one.

“An evil spirit?” Zatanna asked Constantine.

"No, but there's still a strange smell about him, not like the power of this plane," Constantine said calmly, taking a drag of his cigarette.

"Oh, I didn't expect to have guests here again." The red skull smiled sinisterly and spoke.

If Captain America were here, he would definitely recognize this guy with the blood-red skull as Red Skull, the leader of Hydra who was transported to some unknown place by the Tesseract.

Unfortunately, none of the people here recognize this person from the last century.

"Who are you?" Black Panther asked, glancing at the woman standing behind Red Skull.

"Hahaha, you've come to my home and you still want to ask who I am?" Red Skull is treating the entire Hydra as his private property. Of course, it seems that Hydra was his private property when he was in power.

"Are you a member of Hydra?" Wanda asked doubtfully. "Shouldn't we have destroyed Hydra by now?"

"So that's how it is. So it was you who wiped out those Hydra cowards," Red Skull said calmly, then added, "But you seem to have never heard of Hydra's declaration: even if you cut off one head, we will still give birth to a new one! And now that I've returned, this world will once again be under my control!"

"In the end, he's just an enemy." Zatanna sneered after hearing this, and immediately chanted a spell, sending a bolt of lightning directly at the Red Skull.

"Wait!" Constantine, realizing Zatanna's motive, immediately called out.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The lightning struck Red Skull directly and then, almost instantly, retaliated against Zatanna, sending her flying.

"What's going on?" Black Panther asked Constantine, assuming an attack stance.

“He has a strange energy protecting him; we can’t act rashly.” Constantine threw his cigarette on the ground and said to the others, “Leave this to me. You guys go in and stop their civil war. Things seem to be getting bad. Someone from another dimension has his eye on this planet. Let’s stop them from fighting any unnecessary battles.”

Constantine vaguely sensed a power emanating from the red skull before him—a power he'd heard others speak of in another world. The presence of this power in the skull meant that being had its eye on Earth. Personal grudges could be set aside for now; if this being's arrival wasn't prevented or appropriate measures weren't taken, Earth would be destroyed. Therefore, the inhabitants of this world had to cease fighting to prepare for the impending final battle!

Chapter 424 The Shield Shatters, Friendship Ends

The Siberian Hydra base, a secret Hydra facility that had been quiet for a long time, was bustling with activity on this day. Here, the world's first superhero, Captain America, and his friend Bucky Barnes, also from the last century, were being raised, along with the Stark brothers, with whom they shared deep roots—Adam Stark and Tony Stark, Iron Man.

Of course, it wasn't just these four people who came here. Outside the base, there was also Red Skull, the supreme leader of Hydra from the same era as Captain America, a female Winter Soldier (a clone of the Winter Soldier), Zatanna, a sorceress from another world, Constantine, an exorcist, Black Panther, the king and guardian of Wakanda, an unknown but unusually developed country in Africa, and Wanda Maximoff, a clone.

In this story, the beautiful Winter Soldier has just been awakened by Red Skull. As for Red Skull himself, it's unclear who teleported him back to this planet. It's worth noting that when Captain America was forced to fall into the glacier, the power of the Tesseract happened to suck Red Skull away. Perhaps there's some conspiracy involved.

Moreover, just now Constantine stated that Red Skull is a troublesome figure, both in their universe and in this universe. Although Constantine did not say it explicitly, he also told the others that if they do not prepare quickly, Earth will face a cataclysmic crisis.

Hearing Constantine say these words so seriously, everyone around was deeply moved. However, Constantine said that even if they were here, they couldn't be of much help, and it would be better to go inside and stop the fighting.

“We might not be able to stop them from fighting.” Black Panther shook his head slightly and said, “This matter is a bit complicated.”

"Don't you want to help?" Zatanna asked angrily.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help, but Bucky killed two people, Iron Man’s and his father. I don’t know what grounds I have to stop them from fighting. After all, I also fought you guys to avenge my father.” Black Panther sighed, somewhat conflicted, and said, “I’m probably the least qualified to persuade them to stop fighting.”

“Alright, big guy, you go deal with that woman. I’ll go have a good talk with this Mr. Skeleton about life ideals.” Constantine stared at Red Skull and said calmly, “But Zatanna and Wanda, you two need to hurry. I don’t know if I can handle this guy. We can’t keep wasting our time at this point.”

Black Panther shrugged and said, "I'm fine." Then he bypassed Red Skull and launched a fierce attack on the Winter Soldier who was standing silently behind Red Skull.

Zatanna and Wanda didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly to Constantine. Then, Zatanna opened a portal and disappeared with Wanda. As for Red Skull, he kept giving Constantine and the others the same look, which made Constantine increasingly displeased and also made him secretly wary of the man in front of him.

"Is the setup complete?" Red Skull asked with a sinister smile.

Constantine calmly took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it without using a lighter. Constantine took a deep drag and said, "Hmm, done. Although you are that lady's servant, given her status and power, she shouldn't be able to destroy the Earth. In other words, you only received her blessing. Am I right?"

"Hahaha, you're an interesting person. That's right, I did receive that person's blessing, and I was able to receive the blessing for other reasons as well. But even so, what can you do about it?" The Red Skull's skull, devoid of any muscles, became terrifying with its maniacal laughter.

"What can I do? Heh, I can do a lot of things." Constantine took out a long strip of cloth from his pocket and wrapped it around his palm. Then he took out a bottle filled with some kind of holy water and poured it onto the cloth. His movements were gentle and swift. Before he finished speaking, he had already completed the preparations.

"I can also exorcise demons! And I can even negotiate with God!"

Constantine silently chanted a spell, and his right hand, wrapped in cloth, burst into flames with a bang. Strangely, the flames did not seem to harm Constantine; instead, they gave him a weapon that could amplify the damage of his attacks.

“I also want to test my power.” After Constantine finished preparing, the Red Skull, which had become extremely bloated with power, finally moved. Almost instantly, it appeared next to Constantine and threw a right hook at Constantine’s head. The force of the punch made it impossible not to believe that if it hit Constantine, it might really shatter his head.

Of course, this is just an illusion. Both Red Skull and Constantine know that such attacks are not very useful. It is just the two of them testing each other. The real victory or defeat is often decided the moment the opponent makes a mistake!

==============Inside the base, in the main hall===========

Meanwhile, in the hall where the Winter Soldier was frozen, another fierce battle was taking place. Of course, the fierce battle referred to the fight between Tony Stark and Captain America. As for the fight between Adam and the Winter Soldier, it was not a battle at all, but a one-sided torture.

In his haste, Captain America used all his strength to send Tony flying and then headed towards Adam. However, the speed at which Captain America flew away was just as fast as the speed at which he came.

"Tony, are you alright?" Adam asked, frowning as he placed a foot on Bucky's chest.

"Don't worry, no problem. Don't kill that guy yet. I want to fight him a few more times for my father. I'll deal with him in front of me soon!" Tony shouted from a distance.

"Okay, in that case, I won't help you," Adam said calmly.

After a good beating, Adam's anger subsided. Of course, this didn't mean Adam forgave Bucky; quite the opposite. It was because Bucky's life was in his hands that Adam gradually calmed down. Who would care about an ant already caught in their grasp? Would you care if that ant had bitten you before? Of course not, because the ant would die with just a gentle squeeze, so at this moment you don't care about it at all.

"Defeat me quickly? Tony, you've gone too far with that joke," Captain America said coldly.

"Hmph, whether it's a joke or not, we'll find out soon enough!" Tony said coldly.

Captain America is indeed very powerful, representing the pinnacle of human physical evolution. However, let's not forget that all humans in this world have already undergone an evolution: the enhancement serum, a serum that Adam Stark retrieved from his memories and optimized, which was already widely available globally several years ago.

Moreover, as Adam's brother, Tony Stark naturally benefited from Adam's use of the best drugs. Therefore, Tony's physical enhancement level should actually be three-fifths that of Captain America. In addition, he had undergone special training beforehand, so even if Tony didn't wear the Iron Man armor, he wouldn't necessarily lose to Captain America. What's more, he's already wearing the armor now! All he lacks is fighting skills.

If Tony still valued his friendship with Captain America during the previous airport battle, now Tony's heart is filled with nothing but hatred. He hates Captain America, who is clearly his father's friend, who is using weapons made by Howard Stark, and who knows that Howard Stark was killed by Bucky, yet still wants to protect the murderer. How can Tony, as a son, not be furious?

"Friday, how's the analysis of Captain America's movements going? Can you come up with an effective attack plan?" Tony coldly ordered Friday.

“Everything is fine now, we can begin,” Friday replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, Tony narrowed his eyes and immediately attacked Captain America. Under Friday's guidance, Tony gradually adapted to Captain America's fighting style and quickly overpowered him with the advantages of his armor, leaving Captain America bruised and battered. He then launched an energy blast that sent Captain America flying. At this point, Captain America was also getting angry. Although Tony's strength, aided by his armor, was suppressing Captain America, Tony's fighting style wasn't suited to this. Over time, some weaknesses were exposed, which Captain America exploited perfectly. With a sweeping kick, he slammed Tony to the ground, his shield slamming into the Arc Reactor on Tony's armor, violently destroying it.

With a bang, before Captain America could even let go, he was sent flying by a tremendous force. As he flew away, he appeared next to Tony and violently ripped off Tony's visor. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, because Tony was conscious at this moment, but he was unable to control the armor because its energy had run out.

“Phew, that scared me to death,” Adam said to Tony.

"I'm fine, I just ran out of energy." Tony wasn't feeling too good either, but he felt guilty, so he quickly comforted him, "Could you take the shield off for me? It's pressing on my chest."

"Oh well."

After Adam finished speaking, he immediately checked and found that although the shield had destroyed the Arc Reactor, it was stuck by the armor, so Tony hadn't actually suffered much damage. However, even so, Adam still coveted the shield that symbolized Captain America, especially since he had been tricked by the US government and was already disappointed in them. So he took out the shield directly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes!

Clang! The shield in Adam's hand let out a mournful sound and then shattered!

He destroyed the shield!

The shield that had fought alongside Captain America for many years, remaining unaffected in various battles and against enemies like Ultron, was easily destroyed by Adam.

Chapter 425 The Killing Ban is Broken!

The shield shattered; the shield that symbolized Captain America was truly destroyed by Adam's enraged strike. This scene was witnessed by Zatanna and Wanda, who had just arrived, and they knew they were perhaps too late.

Zatanna glanced at Bucky lying motionless on the other side, and Captain America who had just stood up, and immediately went over to ask, "What happened?"

Captain America shook his head and said, "Superman is just too powerful."

At this moment, Adam looked at Zatanna with a frown and said, "You're Zatanna, right? Why are you in this world?"
