He is fighting against the Avengers in Marvel

Steve's heart does not allow him to make such a choice. All he can do is save his own universe and the multiverse.

Just like when he started the Avengers Civil War, he had to investigate the truth while also saving the life of the Winter Soldier Bucky.

Perhaps the only person injured in that incident was Tony.

The conference room fell into an eerie silence for a while, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

Finally, it was Peggy Carter who broke the silence.

"Everyone, speak freely and say whatever you think. In the face of a global crisis, there's nothing you can't say. Even if you make different choices, that's fine. The worst that can happen is we can just stand on our respective sides and fight. Whoever wins will be the one to listen."

Not everyone has the tacit understanding to make the same choice. There will be a battle between Rory and Ancient One. Peggy Carter can accept whether she chooses Ancient One or Rory.

Scarlet Witch and Carol, who were sitting at the end of the conference table, looked at each other.

Scarlet Witch spoke first: "I will choose Rory, not only because I want to live, but also for the sake of this universe. After resolving this crisis, I will also look for ways to punish Rory."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Scarlet Witch continued, "The mysteries of the universe are beyond your imagination. Rory is indeed very powerful in our eyes, even invincible, but there are also more powerful beings in the universe."

"Even if we can't reach that level of power, as long as we survive, we still have a chance. For example, we can go to other universes to find the Infinity Stones, bring them back here, and then use the power of the Infinity Stones to punish Luo Rui."

What Wanda said was what Vision said to her, and Vision also gave the most reasonable explanation after supercomputing analysis.

After hearing Scarlet Witch's words, the others felt that it made sense. Hawkeye Clint Barton also said, "The Ancient One's goal is to gather superheroes from other universes to deal with Rory. Perhaps after this incident, we can continue to complete her unfinished work."

Natasha joked, "Multiverse, parallel universe, I wonder if I can see myself in another world. I'm kind of looking forward to it."

Scarlet Witch said and looked at Carol again.

Light Carol smiled slightly. "I won't take sides. My opinion is to collect the Infinity Stones to resolve the zombie crisis. If there's no trust between us, you can give the stones to me. I'll use their power and return them to their original owners after the incident is resolved."

Nick Fury chuckled: "I'm afraid that you will use the power of the gem to turn everyone into a kind person like you."

This was an ironic remark, but Carol still smiled and said, "This may be a good choice. May there be no more disputes in the world from now on."

A world without any disputes and where everyone treats each other kindly is terrifying to think about.

It's like the utopia in dreams and the paradise in faith.

If the world were turned into heaven, then Carol would be everyone's God. Isn't that terrifying?

The reason why Scarlet Witch looked at Carol was because she was worried that Carol was planning to take the Mind Stone on Vision's forehead, and she guessed right.

The Mind Stone on Vision's forehead can actually be removed, as Wakanda has the technology to do so.

But after the Mind Stone is removed, Vision will lose any room for growth and turn back into a machine, which is something Scarlet Witch Wanda absolutely does not want to see.

Just when everyone was feeling lost, the sound of snoring suddenly came from the conference room.

Turning around, I saw Thor, the God of Thunder, sleeping in the corner.

"He's always acting out of turn, making unexpected moves, and even falling asleep during such an important meeting."

"No, I think he's dead."

Thor was woken up, rubbed his eyes drowsily, and found that everyone was looking at him. He asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Where were we talking about?"

"We were discussing whether we should send Asgardian warriors to deal with Rory, or have Asgard solve this zombie crisis." Clint Barton joked.

Hawkeye is also one of the original six members of the Avengers, so it's harmless for him to joke with Thor like this.

Thor laughed after hearing this: "Of course, no problem. Asgardians protect the Earth. What I mean is that the universe is huge, and zombies won't come to Earth for a while. As for dealing with Rory, just give me a little help."

"Okay, stop it." Nick Fury raised his hand to interrupt Thor's bragging.

Feeling insulted, Thor immediately stood up and shouted, "Fury, what do you mean? How dare you look down on Asgard? I know the universe better than you do, and Asgard protects the Earth."

Nick Fury laughed and asked, "How was Asgard destroyed? If the home of the 'Gods' could be destroyed, why not Earth?"

It does sound a bit funny that even your own hometown has been blown up, but you are still trying to protect other people's planets.

Chapter 245 What will be the fate of mankind?

Asgard was once glorious, but now the Aesir and the Vanir are just a group of refugees who have wandered to Earth. The era of Asgard's rule over the Nine Realms has ended, and Ragnarok is Asgard's final curtain call.

Although Thor is funny, no one really laughs at him.

Even if Asgard has come to an end, the current Asgard is still powerful for the Earth, especially Thor, whose combat power can compete with Scarlet Witch and Carol.

Hawkeye Clint Barton asked: "Thor, is there anything or magic in the universe that can punish Rory and solve the zombie crisis?"

The warmongering Thor never reads books or studies, and his hammer is everything to him.

Now when Thor heard this kind of topic about cosmic knowledge, his mind stopped working.

After a moment, he said, "Well, I need to go back and look up information on this matter. You know, books on cosmic knowledge are taller than this building, so... yes, that's it."

Maria Hill covered her mouth and laughed. "But when you came here, I didn't see any books taller than the Triskelion Building. Did I remember it wrong?"

"Ahem. Perhaps part of it was destroyed in the Asgard explosion."

With Thor's interruption, the atmosphere of the meeting instantly became much more relaxed.

After a few jokes to relax, the meeting returned to its main topic.

Maria Hill pulled up the data and projected it onto the screen, then stood up and explained, "This is the power analysis and comparison data based on all the intelligence information S.H.I.E.L.D. has collected."

"Although the situation of the Guardian Mages is very mysterious, we can infer from the few words that this group of mages is not very large. During the last New Jersey Earth Defense War, the number of Guardian Mages was about dozens. Therefore, if Master Ancient One wants to deal with Luo Rui, he will definitely need external help."

"As for Luo Rui, Luo Rui's own strength is obvious to all."

During the void crisis some time ago, all the superheroes, including the powerful Scarlet Witch and Thor, could only watch helplessly. However, Rory appeared shortly after and perfectly resolved the void crisis, and rescued Carol from the void world.

Although it was an accident, it is enough to explain many problems.

Maria Hill continued: "In addition to Rory, there is also Wanda, the witch of death who is as powerful as Wanda, and Tony Stark, the Iron Man who is indestructible after changing his costume."

Tony would side with Rory, and most of the blame would fall on Steve and Bucky.

Then rows of photos appeared on the screen, and almost all the people in the photos had appeared around Luo Rui.

"Quicksilver, Wanda's twin, possesses super powers of speed and is suspected to have had his body enhanced by Rory."

Ever since Scarlet Witch came to this world, she has never faced Quicksilver, either at the beginning or now. It’s not because she only has Vision in her eyes, but because Scarlet Witch feels weird and doesn’t know how to face Quicksilver.

"It is said that this person is called Magneto Eric. The information was obtained from Tony. He has the superpower of manipulating metal. He appeared in the Battle of New York and has not been seen since."

"Anthony is arguably Rory's most trusted subordinate, even more so than little Wanda. He's in charge of Rory's entire alien army."

"The Dark Elf Malekith and the Kree Accuser Ronan, these two are very familiar to Thor and Carol. They were once overlords in their respective regions, and now they have joined Rory's army."

There are also photos of several Guardians of the Galaxy at the end, which Maria Hill mentioned briefly.

"To sum up, with Rory's current overall strength, there is almost no chance of victory. The only way is to go out into the universe to find more powerful helpers or items, as Wanda said."

SHIELD's combat capabilities are average, but its sensitivity to intelligence can be said to be the best in the world.

Scarlet Witch Wanda suddenly added: "One more thing, if we help Rory defeat the Ancient One, we will have to face hostility from other worlds in the multiverse."

"Why?" Nick Fury asked directly.

Everyone here only knows about the multiverse through a name and an imaginary picture in their minds.

Scarlet Witch explained: "The Sorcerer Supreme is a group, and every universe has one. If something happens to the Ancient One, the Sorcerers Supreme of other universes will immediately learn of the Ancient One's death. If Rory launches an invasion of other universes, then those of us who have helped Rory will also be regarded as invaders."

Defeating Ancient One is just the beginning; the subsequent problems are the most troublesome.

Steve suddenly asked, "Didn't anyone send someone to notify Wakanda?"

Wakanda's technological level far exceeds that of human society, and at times like this, we should unite.

Maria Hill tapped her chin lightly and said, "I've been notified. I haven't received a response yet as to what Wakanda means. Perhaps a representative from Wakanda is on the way."

This time, Steve set his sights on Peggy Carter.

He asked softly, "Peggy, what is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s opinion?"

Peggy Carter's feelings towards Steve are complicated, mainly because of the incongruity brought about by two different Steves.

The same is true of Steve's feelings for Peggy Carter. He had established a relationship with her before falling asleep, but when he woke up, he found that not only the world had changed, but also the woman he cared about most in his heart.

So Steve always felt at a loss when facing Peggy Carter.

Peggy Carter didn't look at Steve, but stared at the conference table and said seriously: "S.H.I.E.L.D. will only stand on the side of humanity. This matter is not only related to Rory and the Ancient One, or all superheroes, but also to the lives of 80 billion people on Earth."

In a nutshell, SHIELD will stand on the side of whoever can keep the Earth and humanity alive. This is also the unanimous decision of all SHIELD's top executives.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary unrest, SHIELD did not convey the news of this crisis to the outside world, and even the Security Council did not receive any intelligence information from SHIELD.

A room full of superheroes carries the fate of the world and even the entire universe on their shoulders, which is very stressful.

Maria Hill, standing in front of the screen, switched the images again and said, "One more thing. We don't have much time left. According to the intelligence information provided by Luo Rui, it took less than three months from the outbreak of the zombie crisis to its rapid spread across the star field."

"Lori deduced that there was a mastermind behind this incident, but they haven't been found yet. If they are targeting Earth, I'm afraid it won't be long before the interstellar zombie army descends on Earth."

"So, it's better for everyone to make plans early."

Peggy Carter took over the conversation, stood up, looked around the conference room, and said, "I'll give you two days to consider this. During these two days, everyone will stay in Washington. If you have any questions, you can always come to S.H.I.E.L.D. to find me, or you can find Fury and Hill."

You have to give yourself some time to consider. It's easy to regret after making a hasty decision. After all, it concerns the future of mankind. It will definitely not be wrong to be cautious.

After Peggy Carter left, Nick Fury added, "The content of today's meeting must not be spread out, otherwise it will definitely cause social unrest."

As for America, those who understand will understand that as soon as there is the slightest disturbance, various environmental protection organizations and peace defenders will emerge and then incite some civilians to smash, loot and rob on the streets.

Even ordinary marches and demonstrations can cause chaos, so if news of the end of the world were to spread, wouldn't it be a complete mess?

Everyone is already tired enough, there is no need to add more trouble.

Everyone nodded and left. When Steve was about to walk out of the main entrance of the Triskelion Building, he turned back to the elevator and went all the way to the floor where Peggy Carter's office was.

Chapter 246: Shelf Life of Years? What is the Soul?

Steve returns to the top floor of the Triskelion Building.

Arriving at Peggy Carter's office, he said bluntly, "Peggy, I don't think we should make the decision about the fate of humanity lightly. If what Ancient One said is true, then doing so will only harm more universes and kill more people."

Peggy Carter raised her eyelids and whispered, "From a standpoint, you shouldn't say 'we'. You didn't sign the agreement, and you have your own team. If I hadn't run it, you'd still be a wanted criminal. Besides, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the superhero team have different purposes."

"From a personal perspective, Steve! You left me when I needed support the most, and you were still not there when I needed help the most. And it's useless for you to convince me, you have to convince everyone else too."

Steve's emotions fluctuated greatly, but in the end it just turned into a sigh.

70 years was just a sleep for him, but for Peggy Carter it was more than difficult days and nights. Although Peggy Carter still maintains her youth, he missed Peggy Carter's best psychological age.
