Chapter 719: Results
Fast forward a few days later, on the outskirts of the Wakanda capital, where a funeral was taking place.
This is the battlefield of the Great War a few days ago, and of course the funeral is also the funeral of those who died in this space war. Of course, it does not mean that the dead are buried here on the spot, the fallen soldiers have been pulled back for burial, this event is mainly a commemorative event, and the Wakanda king T'Challa also said that a memorial will be built here in the future.
In this war, the main casualties were the warriors of the Wakanda tribe and the mages of Kama Taj. These two main forces against Thanos suffered heavy losses, especially the troops in Wakanda, which were really almost wiped out, and those who survived could be said to be one in ten. Although the total number of sacrifices does not seem very large, only a few hundred, compared to the ancient wars where tens of thousands of people died at every turn, it seems to be a small thing, but this is modern.
Of course, their sacrifice was exchanged for half of the living beings in the entire universe, and these people are indeed heroes. Unfortunately, most of those who are protected do not know that their lives have been saved.
Yes, the news of Thanos' invasion has been spread, but not many people know the real purpose of Thanos, and the people in this big brother world have not experienced the sudden disappearance of half of the population, and for most people, the alien invasion is just a piece of information on the news, and they don't know what kind of big war happened.
Linton also attended the funeral, which was not for show, and no one was specifically invited, but only those who had fought that day, as well as civilians in Wakanda.
Among the funeral dead lists, there are also several names that Linton is familiar with. First of all, it was Vision, and because the Mind Gem was directly cut off by Thanos, Vision died on the spot. Since Vision wasn't originally human, he had no father, no mother, no hometown or anything like that, so the body was buried directly here, and Linton estimated that he was going to become the treasure of the memorial.
And then there's one more, and that's the war machine Roddy. Yes, Tony's good friend, Colonel Roddy, was also killed in this battle, and his body has not been found so far.
Yes, it's normal that no body was found, and to be honest, at least half of the people on this list of dead were the kind who couldn't find the body. At that time, Thanos had already turned on the indiscriminate bombing mode, and the artillery fire of the starships was not a joke, and it was too normal to blow people up directly with one shot. No one paid attention to when Roddy disappeared, and it wasn't until he finally didn't show up that everyone realized that he had died.
Although no body was found, Tony was almost certain that Roddy was dead. The war machine is a mecha designed by him, so he can locate the location of this mecha at any time, but now he can't find a signal at all, and it is impossible for Roddy to say that the signal is turned off inexplicably, so there is only one answer left......
Linton was also a little embarrassed, under normal circumstances, Roddy should have been paralyzed in the previous civil war, but he escaped that catastrophe, and now his fate has rebounded even more? Directly killed? Or maybe he died in place of his nephew?
These were the only two people Linton knew in the fall, and the other people Linton knew were alive. Tony and Natasha, the two people who were supposed to die in their middle age in the battle with Thanos, also survived. However, there are also a few people who are seriously injured, and it is still not optimistic.
Yes, a lot of people didn't come to the funeral because many of them are still in the hospital. The first is Wanda, she was a visionary when she came back to help, but she was raided by Thanos, Vision was killed, and she was seriously injured by Thanos, but fortunately, Thanos didn't care about her life, and left after getting the mind gem.
Wanda's situation is not optimistic, and she has not woken up yet. She should have been attacked by the punch of the Power Gem, and the energy of the Power Gem was constantly jumping on her body, and it was these energy obstacles that prevented her from waking up. Linton is familiar with this trick, after all, it is this trick that hinders his self-healing, and it took a lot of points to repair.
But Linton had only been beaten, and he didn't know how to treat it. Although the power gem is in his hand now, and there are even two more, Linton's use of the power gem is limited to releasing energy, how to take the energy back, he can't do it.
It seems that the matter of saving Wanda can only be handed over to Strange to find a way, after all, Wanda has also studied with the ancient one, and it is earlier than Strange, and she is Strange's senior sister, of course, this is the same door Strange can't ignore it, so she can only find a way to save people.
In addition to Wanda, the most serious, the other seriously injured are captain Steve, Hawkeye Clint, Natasha, Saul, and Su Rui. Clint's right foot was blown off and had to be fitted with a prosthetic. Although it sounds a bit miserable, according to the level of technology in this world, the prosthetic leg installed should be able to make him at least have no obstacles in life for the rest of his life, and this time he can really retire with honor and spend the second half of his life with his wife and children.
Thor was mainly seriously injured by his sister Hela, and after Thanos' death, Hela was naturally out of control, in fact, Hela had already recovered her sanity when the mind gem was taken away by Linton, but Thor was still seriously injured by her. By this time, Hela and Thor were gone, and they didn't know where they had gone, and Linton hadn't gone to look for them.
Natasha and Su Rui are still lying on the hospital bed, although the two are seriously injured, they have woken up, and their lives are not in danger, but it will take time for their bodies to recover, probably ...... Let's go for a month. The only trouble is the captain Steve Rodgers' side.
Yes, the captain's injury is not optimistic, although he has the blessing of the super soldier serum, but this time, he seems to be unable to recover. Theoretically speaking, according to the recovery power of the super soldier's serum, even if he is seriously injured, he will recover in a few days, but according to the doctor who examined him, the captain seems to have overdrawn too much this time, and what the overdraft is, the doctor can't say clearly, if you have to say a concept, that is...... Vitality.
Yes, this is no longer something that can be explained by science, isn't there news about a mother lifting a car to save her child, or something like that, it's that level of overdrafted vitality. The captain held out until the end of the battle, and then he fell, and now although he woke up, the whole person seemed to be drained, even the muscles on his body seemed to have atrophied, and even gray hair appeared on his head, which was simply unimaginable for a super soldier.
Of course, the captain did not attend this funeral, but after the funeral, everyone quickly came to the hospital to visit the captain again. The captain seemed to be waiting for everyone, and he seemed to have made a decision, and just as they arrived, the captain handed Sam his shield.
It was clear that the captain was going to retire, and the person who took over chose Sam the Falcon. Sam didn't shirk it directly, looking at the captain's still haggard face and the gray hair on his head, he nodded and took over the responsibility and became the second-generation Captain America.
Everyone had no objection to the captain's choice, after all, he was indeed a little too tired, and this World War II veteran really needed to rest. However, the next question still needs to be discussed by the captain, and that is how to deal with the Infinity Stones.
Now everyone is in the central hospital in Wakanda, which is considered the best place in the world for medical conditions, Natasha and others are also treated here, and several people have also been called to the captain's ward, which is considered a superhero meeting.
Everyone already knew by now that the Six Gems possessed cosmic powers, but none of the people present wanted to take them for themselves. For them, these things are a scourge, and what to do with them is the big problem.
There are only two main proposals proposed, which they keep themselves or give to others for safekeeping. The meaning of self-custody is to concentrate on protection, to form an organization similar to the Gem Guardian, the members are those present, and to hand over to others for protection is to keep them separately, as before, as for who to give it to, it will be discussed later.
There are people who support both factions, and keeping it separately is the previous method, because it is equivalent to adding convenience to the people who want to rob him, although the plan of separate preservation has failed this time, but after all, it is Thanos, the people at the level of the universe overlord, so how many people are at the level of the universe overlord? When will you meet again? Although it is possible to meet such a person again, after all, there are not many. And centralized preservation is different, although a guardian protection has been established, but as long as there is an accident, for example, just a thief or something can steal it, isn't it more dangerous?
Everyone has their own opinions, as if no one can convince anyone. In the end, everyone still looked at Linton's side, probably to let Linton have an idea, after all, Linton is now the holder of the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Stones.
"Let's separate." Linton thought about it, it is true that both plans have risks, but it is obvious that the safety points are kept separately, at least there is no problem if you don't meet someone of Thanos' level, and Thanos's level is not a cabbage.
After Linton finished speaking, he put on his gloves directly, and before everyone could react, he snapped his fingers. By the time everyone came to their senses, there was only one green gem left on Linton's glove. Linton also took off the Time Stone and handed it to Strange next to him, and then handed the Infinity Gauntlet to Nick Fury.
"The other five gems have been randomly teleported to unknown corners of the universe, even I don't know where they were, maybe one day they will be picked up by someone with a heart, and there may be a cosmic overlord to collect them again, but ...... I think the world should be safe, at least for a short time. "And it's time for me to leave." ”
