Chapter 696: Five years later, there is no Kyle in the world
Maybe it's the 'right' Marvel plane.
When: 2022.
Location: Marvel Universe, Earth, New York City.
Present.
Since the invasion of alien forces led by Thanos, five years have passed in the blink of an eye. Five years, whether long or not, whether short or not, New York seems to have smoothed out the pain of the past, and people in the new era continue to grit their teeth and move forward, after all, no matter how difficult the days are, life still has to go on.
Five years ago, after the Battle of Thanos in Wakanda and New York. According to the final count, the death toll was nearly 330,000. Although this number is appalling, if you know that the other party is a Thanos battleship that has destroyed countless planetary civilizations and is invincible in the galaxy, this casualty rate can be described as a miracle for the earth.
But no one was optimistic.
At the end of the Battle of Thanos.
As a symbol of peace and the lord of the earth, Kyle fought with Thanos in the final battle, the top combat power of the universe and the top combat power of the earth, the collision of the infinite primordial stone and the infinite primordial stone, and the shock of cosmic energy alone broke through the barrier of the mirror space, resulting in the destruction of the area within a radius of twenty miles in the city of New York.
Among them, a large phenomenon now known as 'flickering' was triggered.
within the limits of the Earth. All living beings, including humans, are either five years old or five years younger!
That is, a pair of siblings who were not far apart in age, it is possible that the younger brother is five years old, and the elder sister is five years younger, and it has been reversed into a pair of brothers and sisters with an age difference of ten years.
This caused social turmoil and chaos on the earth, and it took three years for the remaining human beings on the earth to revise the law, change the rules and regulations of schools and social occupations, and the people of the new era gradually adapted.
But the 'flickering phenomenon' is not so simple, not only the flickering of time, but also the flickering of space!
Half of humanity on Earth has disappeared out of thin air.
Yes, not dead, they were just randomly teleported to various parts of the Marvel Universe. It could be the interstellar garbage-strewn Saka star, or it could be the Galactic Alliance, or it could be the God's Domain, which is now ruled by the Goddess of Death......
As for why the humans of Earth know this, it is because later, Captain Marvel, who wandered the universe, returned, and Iron Man Tony Stark, who came to their conclusions through the analysis of big data in the universe.
Thereupon.
Humans who remain on Earth not only have to endure the pain of the battle, adjust to the changing age difference between themselves and those around them, but also have to cherish their loved ones who may survive somewhere in the universe.
S.H.I.E.L.D., under the leadership of Nick Fury, publicly announced early on that it would send wandering spaceships and probes within the starry sky of the universe to search for lost humans as much as possible and bring them back to their homeland on Earth. But the universe is so vast that even with the help of Captain Marvel, Thor, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack.
So, the battle of Thanos, the final result is:
The global economy has set back ten years, with nearly 330,000 direct deaths and nearly 3.5 billion missing human beings! Even now, five years have passed, and only less than 100,000 humans have been recovered!
In addition to the cruel flickering phenomenon, the earth has also lost its most important hero-
Kyle, a symbol of peace.
The new edition of the history book of the countries of Earth reads: "Kyle, a symbol of peace, was born in 1921, he is a World War II hero, a symbol of peace, the first emperor of the Karl Realm, and the last and only Lord of the Earth, who fought Thanos alone in 2018, and died together with Thanos and the six Infinity Primordial Stones, at the age of 97. ”
"Kaeya's death is a terrible loss for humanity on all earth, and it represents the end of an era in which a supreme and powerful god has left us once and for all."
"He surpassed the gods in that battle and became the only one in the hearts of men."
It was also after Kyle's sacrifice that a large number of heroes in the Avengers left, such as Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, etc., who faded out of the public eye and no longer fought as superheroes.
As a special supreme country on Earth, Karl Realm is constantly cultivating superhumans and new heroes who will fight for Earth in place of the old generation of heroes.
August 13, 2022.
It's Kyle's birthday and the fifth Peace Symbol Anniversary.
New York City, in the heart of the city, is home to the large craters of the infinite energy impact of the past.
The radius of the cave entrance is ten miles, and the inner depth is bottomless, and the edge of the pit is set up with a cordon and guardrail that prohibits stepping on it. On these rusty and lengthy fences, there are dense leaflets and letterheads, some searching, some mourning, and some protection, and there are full of commemorative wreaths next to the guardrails.
The city buildings around the pothole have been repaired, but the only one has not been dealt with. It has become a place for the world to mourn the symbol of peace. Every year, most of the surviving humans come to the New York Potter to pay their respects.
In the early morning, the white belly of the genius fish is bright, but the empty and deserted New York city is active. People with solemn and mournful faces, families took to the streets, came to the pit around the pit to place flowers and mourn.
For no reason.
Scattered snowflakes fell from the sky, the first snow of the year in New York, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, but it couldn't fill the large potholes and holes in people's hearts.
Rustle Rustle –
With his boots on the snowflakes on the ground, a tall, blonde man in a leather jacket and a short, silver-haired woman in a long trench coat walked side by side on the street near the pothole, watching the people pacing past the pothole.
If someone looks closely. You will be surprised to find that the man among them is none other than Captain America Steve Rogers, and the other is Black Widow Natasha.
Of course. Now they are no longer superheroes, and even if they are, they are 'retired' ex-superheroes.
Steve suddenly stopped in the middle of the street, letting the snowflakes fall on his sideburns and shoulders, his deep eyes looking in the direction of the large crater that surrounded him.
Natasha followed him, pausing to watch.
Due to the flickering phenomenon.
New York has lost half of its humanity, and some people have moved out of New York directly, so that in the once bustling New York City, countless buildings are abandoned and idle, and the main roads in the morning are difficult to even see vehicles.
New York is quiet, so quiet that there is only the faint sound of snow falling.
"He's always like that." Steve spoke suddenly, his voice low with a hint of weakness and exclamation.
Natasha didn't say anything, she knew who "he" was in Steve's mouth.
Steve continued: "It's always like that. Walking in front of everyone without saying a word, if you don't pay attention, you will be completely left behind by him, standing at a height that no one can reach. ”
"yes." Natasha nodded lightly and smiled bitterly, "No one can do it better than him." ”
"Now, even if someone can do better than him, it is impossible to surpass him." Steve's voice kept deepening.
His body trembled slightly, and finally flattened, "In this world, there is no Kyle." ”
