Lord of Cinder in American Comics

Looking at Hill, the elderly Steve Rogers gave his perfect answer. He said, "You can go to the Captain America Memorial in Brooklyn and find the shield in the statue's hand. It's something I brought from my time travel, and it proves my identity."

Hill looked at the man before him and believed him. If the shield was found, then two identical shields would appear.

After Steve Rogers was found in this world, his shield underwent extensive testing, and the data is still kept in S.H.I.E.L.D.

This pair of cameras was accidentally created by Howard Stark, and no one has been able to replicate it to this day.

Hill helped Steve to his feet, set his joints back in place, and said, "Let's go, Captain. We need to find your shield first to prove your identity!"

Chapter 480: How to Destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra

Wanda unleashed a powerful soul arrow at Steve, attempting to kill him in one strike.

Just as the Soul Arrow was about to touch Steve, Hill blocked it from the side.

Goethehildr parried the powerful soul arrow with his sword. The soul arrow, which bounced elsewhere, created a large, broken hole in the mirror space, but it was immediately repaired by the others.

Wanda glared at Hill and said, "Don't think that just because you have the hunter's protection, you can defy the Dragon Academy's decision!"

Wanda adopted the opening stance of a barrage of arrows, seemingly ready to blast Hill to death at the slightest provocation.

Hill frowned and didn't interact much with anyone outside Geralt's group; she really hadn't expected them to be so difficult to talk to.

On one side are clues about the situation at S.H.I.E.L.D., and on the other is a supernatural group that reigns supreme over the world.

It seems like the choice should be easy: avoiding conflict with Dragon Academy is the best option right now, and preserving oneself is the priority.

However, Hill pointed the Gothhild sword at Wanda.

"It seems you made the wrong choice!"

Wanda's staff was already glowing; with a single swing, it could obliterate the two people before her, leaving not a trace.

However, Pietro, who had just been thrown into the Dragon Academy, instantly appeared beside Wanda. Panting, he pressed down on the staff in Wanda's hand, stopping the attack.

"Pietro! What are you doing!"

Pietro shook his head at Wanda and said, "New orders. We're going to help this former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. This is Constantine's order."

When Constantine was mentioned, Wanda gave a reluctant snort, but still obediently put away her staff.

The other mages around also dispelled the mirror space, and seeing Pietro's signal, they turned and left.

The vast memorial hall was now empty except for a reluctant Wanda, Pietro explaining things to Hill, and a discontented Steve.

However, after seventy years of living together, Steve had also become thick-skinned and listened in from the side.

Hill pointed to Steve beside him and summarized, "In other words, you, as the supervisors of Steve, observe his impact on reality and then decide whether to eliminate him?"

Pietro, pulling Wanda along, replied to Hill, "Yes, we will cooperate with your actions to a limited extent during this period. The specific limits will be determined by ourselves."

Steve became the link between the two sides, but he was also a fragile link, and anyone could attack him.

But this is already the best possible situation. With the limited cooperation between the two sides, Steve can also get help from both sides to rescue Peggy Carter.

Hill asked, "In your world, how many Hydra agents are actually part of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Under this dangerous balance, Steve answered every question, saying, "As far as I know, former S.H.I.E.L.D. director and World Security Council member Pierce, Crossbones of the action team, and Sitwell, the civilian administrator..."

Dr. Zola did not die; he remained infiltrated into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s systems disguised as artificial intelligence, and developed the Zola Algorithm..."

Scattered throughout, Steve recounted everything he knew, including the Hydra base they discovered during their original timeline exploration. He also explained how they exposed the S.H.I.E.L.D. roster and how they dismantled S.H.I.E.L.D. to destroy it.

After saying that, Steve hesitated, glancing at Wanda and Pietro beside him, before gritting his teeth and saying, "In my timeline, Wanda and Pietro were once members of Hydra..."

Having said this, Steve was prepared to point out the two men to their faces, which seemed like a provocation.

However, Hill made no comment; she could only take Steve's words as a reference, but did not completely believe them.

However, Wanda nonchalantly replied, "Forget about your timeline; we are in this timeline too."

Steve couldn't help but gasp, making Sharifan's work to stop global warming even more difficult.

Pietro followed up on Wanda's words, explaining, "Originally, we lived in Hydra-controlled territory, serving as cannon fodder to test the Dragon Academy. We ended up joining the Dragon Academy by chance. But now we've completely broken away from Hydra. Constantine knows this too; you can verify it with him if you doubt it..."

Hill didn't pay any attention to Pietro's words. As a representative of the three major powers, she didn't believe that Constantine would keep a potential threat by his side.

These powerful individuals all seem to possess a kind of precognitive ability, often anticipating and preventing everything. Just like Geralt…

But Wanda's admission corroborates Steve's words. Time and space may differ, but fates often share similarities.

Looking at the list he had memorized, Hill couldn't help but sigh. This kind of large-scale infiltration, or rather, it couldn't even be called infiltration, was something S.H.I.E.L.D. had built on Hydra.

This goes without saying for the Hydra ladies who are hiding, Baron Zemo, and the Hydra agents who are involved in politics.

Pierce, who holds a position on the World Security Council, can influence the council's views.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hill's influence was nowhere near that of Pierce. She even doubted whether her reports would reach those five people.

The more Hill thought about it, the worse the situation seemed. She couldn't help but wonder if there was only one way to solve this problem: to make the entire agent list public and disband S.H.I.E.L.D. completely, just as Steve had suggested.

Just then, a faint rustling sound came from behind. Steve seemed to sense danger and immediately took out his shield to shield everyone.

As Wanda picked up her staff, preparing to attack the area from which the sound was coming, Hill stopped them.

"It's my guard; it's here to deliver a message..."

Hill beckoned to the darkness, and the alien's black metallic skin slowly emerged from its invisibility.

Upon reaching Hill, the alien carefully positioned its tail to avoid accidentally injuring those around it.

It opened its mouth towards Hill, and a small piece of paper was spat out from its multi-segmented mouthparts.

After reading the note, Hill finally felt relieved. Geralt's reinforcements had arrived. And even more...

Hill glanced at Wanda and her brother, then, abandoning her previous hesitation, said, "I have a plan!"

Looking at Steve, Hill said, "But before that, you have to tell me, how did Peggy Carter get involved with Nick Fury?"

Steve said with some shame, "I told Peggy about the future, but things aren't going as I said. She's afraid the changed future will make me disappear. And then, Nick Fury came to her door and told her he could change everything..."

At this point, Hill understood. The most important thing in a scam is to grasp the customer's needs; Peggy feared Steve's disappearance, so Nick Fury gave her hope.

Even if you know there's a problem, once you've embarked on this path of no return, you can't stop the damage in time. You can only deceive yourself and grit your teeth and keep going.

Chapter 481: Square-faced Aunt

Now, Steve's home in Hydra has been cleaned and tidied up by Hydra's logistics personnel and returned to its original state.

But Hydra's Steve did indeed let a threat escape, a threat who knew about some of their personnel and operations.

Steve, the Hydra agent, did not tell the visiting investigators about his outspokenness, knowing that the punishment he would receive within Hydra for leaking information would not be easy.

Lying in bed, Hydra Steve couldn't fall asleep. He had to figure out a way to remove himself from the situation, or find the old guy before others and get rid of the trouble.

Just as he was pondering how to proceed, he suddenly heard a woman's voice beside him.

"This is you when you were young? You look... alright. Let's hurry up and get back as soon as possible!"

Wanda appeared before Steve of Hydra, urging the others on with some impatience.

Pietro knew why Wanda was so irritable, and he teased her, "Sis, we've finally gotten out of here, shouldn't we enjoy ourselves? Don't be in such a hurry, you're already much slower than before, a little more time won't make a difference!"

"Shut up! If you don't want to be tied to the tower and dried into a mummy, shut up right now!"

Wanda pointed at Pietro and threatened him, her fingers pulsating with red and black energy. Pietro shrugged indifferently and shut his mouth.

Hydra Steve looked at the person who appeared in front of him. Although he didn't understand the situation, he still reached for the weapon on the bedside table.

To his surprise, the weapon was right in front of him, yet it seemed like an insurmountable chasm between them; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get his hands on it.

And now, outsiders have appeared in his home again. He had already activated emergency contact, but now not only are there no reinforcements, but even the background noise of the quiet night has disappeared.

Wanda manipulated the mirror dimension with the energy in her hands, watching as Hill scanned Steve completely with the scanner in her hand.

Hill tossed a disguise mask to elderly Steve and said, "We still have one night. Do you remember Dr. Zola's location?"

The elderly Steve put on the mask, and now he looked exactly like the real Hydra Steve.

Meanwhile, Hydra Steve fell into the portal beneath him, which led to the prison of the City of Sin. The guards had already lit their lanterns and were waiting for his arrival.

Steve said, "Dr. Zola has been stored in the abandoned base of the former Strategic Science Corps. His body is extremely large, and I don't know if it's possible to stop him from transmitting signals outwards."

"Keep in mind that it was only with Stark's technical support that we were able to break through Dr. Zola's information blockade..."

Steve's words prompted Wanda, who had been somewhat irritable, to pull out her phone. After fiddling with it for a bit, she nonchalantly said, "Alright, now that we have technical support, can you go any faster?"

Wanda, who had already prepared to open the portal, suddenly turned her head and asked, "Where is this base you're talking about?"

Steve glanced at Hill, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Under Steve's guidance, Wanda successfully opened the portal to the Strategic Science Corps.

It was an abandoned military camp, and Steve easily found a passage leading underground.

Before opening the door, Steve said, "As soon as I open this door, Zola will know we've arrived. I hope everyone..."

Before Steve could finish speaking, Wanda took the lead, kicked open the door, and went downstairs.

Looking at Pietro, Steve asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with her? She's different from how I remember her?"

Pietro said nonchalantly, "That's how teenage girls are after their idol gets stolen by another woman. We need to hurry, or she might really hang me up..."

The vast underground space was neatly arranged with various servers. To enhance Zola's capabilities, Hydra used almost all of the world's most powerful processors.

But now, Zola seems to have crashed, with all sorts of alarm lights flashing wildly.

But this only manifested in the processor; Zola's resistance was futile, and he was even unable to trigger the base's alarm.

Wanda was speaking softly in front of a server with a display screen. She quickly shut her mouth when she saw the others arrive.

However, Cortana on the screen did not understand Wanda's meaning; she was answering Wanda's question.

"Constantine's favorite color is red, but he doesn't like red clothes or scarves. He smokes only as a habit, not because he truly likes it. Behavioral analysis shows that Constantine has no real hobbies; his most frequent activity is sunbathing behind the window..."
