Chapter 148: Luke's Funeral

Countless Zetarians lost their spiritual connection and fell to the ground in pieces. The Zetarians in the air also fell like raindrops. Leviathan crashed into tall buildings and smashed them to pieces.

Not only New York, but also in several cities on the East Coast at the same time, and the fighting for the entire East Coast came to an abrupt end.

"We ...... Won. Steve Rogers took a deep breath and said with mixed feelings.

On the roof of Stark Tower, Black Widow stared at the empty sky in a daze, and did not speak for a long time.

Tony woke up. The superheroes are all together.

But when they learned that Luke hadn't made it back in time, the heroes were silent.

Peter Parker was dumbfounded, unable to believe it was true. He looked up and saw that there was nothing in the sky but the sun.

Half a month later.

Post-war reconstruction of the entire East Coast proceeded in an orderly manner.

New York suffered the most serious damage ever suffered in this war of aggression by an alien civilization. Once the financial center of the world, it is now much more than that.

In the middle of New York, the artificial sun has quickly become a sight to behold after the war. With its day and night illumination, New York is a city that never sleeps in the truest sense of the word.

The situation of this sun at that time has been fermented with the news of these days, and it is known to countless people all over the world.

It is as if it was deliberately placed here by God at a time when human beings need it most.

Only now, it seems to have lost the great power of that time, and only the lighting effect remains.

But that doesn't stop ordinary people from seeing it as a window to their faith. Especially after such a painful loss.

People praise God, praise the apostles, and praise the sun.

A wide, fat man stood behind a group of believers who worshiped the sun below every day, gazing with interest at the ball of light that emitted warm sunlight in midair. He had a look of wonder and admiration on his face throughout.

The man's name was Octavis, and he had several doctorates to his name.

But now, like a studious student, he comes every day to research, take notes, and learn from experience.

He often muttered to himself, "Genius thoughts...... I really want to meet this creator...... He must be a Taishan Beidou of nuclear physics, I don't know which one? Odd...... I know some of the best people in the field......"

Next to the square, on several large screens that were the only survivors of the war, Dr. Silvig was being interviewed by the television media.

He said with an unusually serious expression: "Remember, if it weren't for this group of children who saved this world, you and I wouldn't be sitting here at this time." Without the Apostle and his followers, this hard-won victory would not have existed. The sacrifice of the apostles is the greatest loss for our entire humanity......"

And earlier, the President of the United States also made a televised address to all American citizens.

The President of the United States has officially revealed to the public the public the public identity of this group of superheroes who fought for New York and fought for humanity.

Among them, the identity of the apostle, a boy who was only 7 years old, was also revealed.

The President of the United States, in front of everyone on television, presented a "Medal of Honor", which symbolizes the highest honor of the United States, in front of the Apostolic Monument.

"The Apostles thwarted an alien plot to detonate an antimatter bomb in Washington, saving half of America from disappearing," he said. Although the Corner Five building was ruined, it was worth it. He saved us all. God bless him! ”

Directly below the artificial sun is a newly built monument after the war.

Every day, there is a constant stream of people from all over the world who come here to lay flowers and to remember the children who died for all mankind: the apostle and his followers.

The main body of the monument is a group of statues.

Next to the six-meter-tall sculpture of the warlord, there are four small sculptures of the wind.

At the feet of the Warlord is a statue of a short-haired little boy standing. The little boy has a lifelike face and a smile. Around him are statues of a group of children: four little girls of different shapes, playful, sassy, cute, or quiet; a young boy in a spider suit; and a dwarf man wrapped in a snowman costume.

The monument clearly marks that these are the superheroes who sacrificed for humanity. The world was saved by such a group of lovely children. Although they have long gone, their fearless courage and spirit will continue to inspire generations of children and young people......

An unknown funeral ended in a drizzling rain.

Almost all the superheroes who appeared in this war, attended this Luke's funeral.

When Luke's adoptive parents learned the truth, there was nothing more grieving for them.

At the funeral, Luke's adoptive mother Karen wept silently, and Luke's adoptive father Fudge looked sad. Around them, there were silent figures, and they solemnly threw their last glances at the empty tombstone.

Matt Murdoch, a blind lawyer in a black suit, holds a blind cane in his hand, wears dark sunglasses, and holds an umbrella, with an unusually heavy expression.

Peter Parker burst into tears, and next to him were Parker's Uncle Ben and his Aunt May.

Standing around are, in order, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Melinda May, Eric Silvig.

Everyone had more or less heavy sorrow and sadness on their faces.

Time flies.

Soon, another month passed.

Luke's warehouse has been converted into a memorial by S.H.I.E.L.D. to commemorate the anti-alien invasion campaign that swept across the East Coast.

All the things left behind by the apostles were sealed and taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lu Dan knows that Luke also has an AI assistant named Christina. But now her whereabouts are unknown.

Since that fight, no one has seen the little short-legged snowman in his snowman costume again. The heroes remember that she was on the street at the time, but then disappeared.

At night, chaos continues in Hell's Kitchen.

The appearance of aliens seems to have injected a factor called madness into the hearts of everyone here. Crime is more frequent, frenzied and brutal than in the past.

Daredevil, as always, fights crime here. It's just that, compared to usual, Daredevil seems to be more ruthless, at least to cut off the hands and legs of those gangster thugs, and at worst to cripple them for life.

For a while, the criminals of Hell's Kitchen made a lot of noise, and they confirmed the name of "Hell's Kitchen Demons".

During this time, Tony became reticent. He stayed in the lab all day and was closed. No one knew what he was doing. Even Pepper is hard to see him.

After returning from Luke's funeral, Tony seems to be indifferent to anything outside the world, except to spend his days with machines.

But in fact, Jarvis is constantly watching anomalous changes in every corner of the globe, especially the sky.

A symptom called anxiety is creeping up in Tony's mind.

The war is superficially over. But the war in the background has not been interrupted. With the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D., the boiled egg has been fighting Hydra everywhere. The list left behind by Luke played a crucial role.

Every time Black Widow returns, she seems to be silent. Knowing her Hawkeye and Hill, they all know why. They had seen a picture of Luke stored on Natasha's phone.

Perhaps all this can only be forgotten with the help of time.

But they also know very well that that name has lingered and is deeply imprinted in the depths of everyone's heart......
