American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

Apart from Thor, everyone present had heard of the Red Skull.

However, no one expected that Red Skull would not die, and judging from his appearance, Red Skull was very knowledgeable about how to obtain the Soul Gem.

Could Hydra become this powerful in the future?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Red Skull led Black Widow and Hawkeye Barton to a cliff with many huge stone pillars standing tall.

"What you seek is right before you, and what you fear is also there," Red Skull said calmly to Barton and Black Widow.

"The gem is down there!" Black Widow said, gazing at the bottomless abyss.

"This can only be given to one of you," Red Skull added, "while the other will receive the Soul Gem!"

"To obtain the Soul Stone, you must lose something you cherish; it is an eternal exchange!"

"One soul for one soul!"

The expressions on the faces of everyone present changed slightly.

The meaning behind Red Skull's words was crystal clear: to obtain the Soul Gem, someone must die!

So this is how Black Widow sacrificed herself so that Hawkeye Barton could obtain the Soul Stone?

But is what Red Skull said actually true?

This is somewhat out of character for Hydra.

"Natasha, it seems you've made a foolish decision!" Hawkeye Barton couldn't help but turn to look at Black Widow beside him, and said seriously, "Remember, it's not your place to be a hero, okay?"

“Barton, as you said, you can’t judge me based on something that didn’t happen.” Black Widow shrugged.

On the screen, Hawkeye Barton and Black Widow were engaged in a discussion.

"Hey, hello there!" Hawkeye Barton was speechless when he saw that Black Widow was actually deep in thought. "God, this could all be made up by him."

“No, I don’t think so!” Black Widow said with a serious expression.

"Just because he mentioned your father's name?" Barton was still full of doubt.

“I don’t even know my father’s name,” Black Widow said thoughtfully.

Then she raised her head, "And Thanos left here with the Soul Stone, but he didn't take his daughter with him. This is no coincidence."

His words left everyone present bewildered.

Has Thanos already taken the Soul Stone?

Why would Black Widow and her companions come back here again to search for the Soul Stone?

Could it be that there is more than one Soul Stone?

But according to Thor, there are only six Infinity Stones in the universe, and each one of them should be unique.

How can there be two identical gems?

This doesn't make sense.

With these questions in mind, everyone continued to follow the development of the situation.

“Indeed!” Hawkeye Barton nodded.

In fact, he had already believed Red Skull's words, but he pretended not to believe them and convinced Black Widow that it was a lie.

It makes it easier for him to sacrifice himself!

"No matter the cost!" Black Widow uttered these words with a deep gaze and a powerful voice.

"No matter the cost!" Hawkeye Barton echoed emphatically.

Both of them were prepared to die.

"If we can't get the gems, billions of people will not be able to come back to life!" Black Widow stood up and walked up to Hawkeye.

One sentence almost made everyone at the scene fall to the ground in shock. According to Black Widow, billions of people on Earth have already died.

This has to be a joke!

“Yes!” Hawkeye Barton nodded emphatically. “I think we already know who should be sacrificed, right?”

“I think so!” Black Widow nodded.

In this life-or-death moment, the two instinctively clasped hands together. Hawkeye Barton looked at Black Widow and said, "I suddenly feel that we're not thinking the same thing anymore, Natasha."

What were these two thinking?

Is it a choice between both wanting to survive and letting the other die, or a choice to sacrifice oneself so that the other can live?

Or is it just one person who thinks this way?

It's certain that Black Widow sacrificed herself; she was indeed prepared to do so. But what about Hawkeye Barton?

Chapter 140 The Death of Black Widow

"For the past five years, I have been working on one thing, and that is right now!"

on the screen.

Under Hawkeye Barton's watchful gaze, Black Widow spoke in a deep voice, "Everything was for this moment, for the resurrection of everyone!"

"No, don't try to play the noblewoman at a time like this!" Hawkeye Barton said, staring into Black Widow's eyes.

"What, you think I wanted to do this? I'm trying to save your life! Fool!"

"But I don't want you to save me, so what? Natasha, you know what I've done, you know what kind of person I've become!"

"I would not judge a person based on his worst mistake."

"Perhaps you should!"

"But you didn't back then!"

……

Hawkeye Barton and Black Widow engaged in a heated debate, and in the end, Hawkeye chose to "give in."

"You're so annoying, you know that?" Hawkeye's eyes were glistening with tears. "You won!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Hawkeye suddenly attacked, knocking Black Widow to the ground: "Tell my family I love them!"

Clearly, Hawkeye has decided to sacrifice himself!

“Tell them yourself!” Black Widow was no pushover; she swiftly countered, knocking Hawkeye to the ground.

It also fired a small ring at Hawkeye, which immediately crackled with electric arcs, knocking Hawkeye unconscious.

Taking advantage of this moment, Black Widow quickly ran towards the cliff.

Judging from his appearance, he was planning to jump off the cliff and sacrifice himself.

At that crucial moment, Hawkeye once again got up from the ground and shot an arrow into the ground next to Black Widow.

boom!

The arrow exploded, and the powerful shockwave knocked Black Widow to the ground.

Hawkeye threw his bow to the ground and charged forward relentlessly, leaping off the cliff in an instant!

Just as Hawkeye was about to fall, a figure suddenly darted out and grabbed him.

It was Black Widow.

Black Widow suddenly shot out a grappling hook, which landed on the cliff face and secured one end to Hawkeye Barton.

Hawkeye was left hanging on the cliff face.

But he reacted quickly and grabbed Black Widow's arm.

The two people were "linked together" and suspended in the air by a grappling hook.

"Wait, no, Natasha!" Hawkeye Barton yelled at Black Widow.

"Let go!" Black Widow said to Barton with a look of grim determination.

"No, please, Natasha."

"It's fine!"

After saying goodbye to Hawkeye Barton, Black Widow stomped her feet hard against the rock wall and broke free from his grasp.

It plummeted down the sheer cliff!

Everyone present was deeply moved, and they couldn't help but look at Black Widow and Hawkeye Barton with great admiration.

I admire the sincere and genuine affection between these two people, who both went to great lengths to sacrifice themselves for each other.

This is not something that just anyone can do.

Tony Stark had previously said that none of them could prove they weren't Hydra agents, but at this moment, Tony Stark felt that Black Widow and Hawkeye Barton were definitely not Hydra agents.

How could there be such a sincere person among Hydra?

hum!

After Black Widow fell off the cliff and died, layers of blue energy began to ripple in the air above the cliff.

It was as if the Soul Stone had responded, receiving Black Widow's soul.

Agree to the transaction generally.

next moment.

The scene shifts, and for some unknown reason, Hawkeye Barton is suddenly lying in the water.

However, it is likely that this change was caused by Black Widow's sacrifice.

Immediately afterwards, Hawkeye Barton regained consciousness. He looked around at his surroundings in a daze, but quickly realized something.

He suddenly opened his hand and, sure enough, found a gem that shimmered with yellow light in his palm.

That gem was obtained by Black Widow sacrificing her life!

Hawkeye Barton knelt in the water and wept bitterly.

The image freezes on Hawkeye Barton's desperate expression.
