"Bucky, take the rest of the team out of here! We've all been lied to, he's not John Schmidt! ”

Catching the flying shield, Steve shouted at the rest of the crowd. The bullet hit "John Schmidt" in the face, taking away a large area of skin, revealing a completely unfamiliar face. Steve rushed back and used his shield to knock the fake "John Schmidt" into the air. The situation in front of them is already obvious, they have fallen into the trap set by the hydra, and they must evacuate as soon as possible.

"Dior, help me cover!"

Blocking the vampire's attack again, Steve couldn't help but shout loudly.

Although his strength is not as strong as his own, if Dio can make a move, he can at least force the Hydra soldiers in the distance to retreat smoothly.

In fact, although the vampire's attack is dangerous, it has not yet reached the extent that Steve is powerless to parry, and with the help of the characteristics of the vibranium shield under the super soldier serum enhancement, if Steve is given a certain amount of time, he can completely drag this fake "John Schmidt" and even kill back.

Unfortunately, the premise of all this is in the case of a one-on-one duel.

At the moment, the attack of a large number of Hydra soldiers obviously greatly limited Steve's movements, and in such a situation, he had to fight the impostor "John Schmidt" in front of him while dodging the attack of the Hydra soldiers.

At this time, Steve was glad that he was holding a vibranium shield in his hand, and if he changed to the previous shield, he wouldn't be able to sustain much attack at all.

"Quick, quick, Dio, why didn't you see him!"

Bucky asked the rest of the team to evacuate immediately, but he continued to hold his gun and shoot at the vampire in the distance a few times, but obviously his bullets had no effect, looking at the vampire who was full of bullet holes but still moved freely, Bucky's face became extremely ugly: "Damn, what kind of monster is this, is he really not going to die!" ”

Even the Legion of Death that they had fought on the front line before was not so difficult to deal with.

"Bucky, be careful!"

At this moment, a faint blue ray suddenly shot at Bucky, who was standing not far away.

Seeing this scene, Steve did not hesitate to throw out the shield in his hand and catch the light shooting in midair. And he himself was directly hit by the vampire's sharp claws, leaving a deep wound on his arm, if it weren't for the super arm serum-strengthened body, which would have surpassed ordinary people, the vampire's blow could even directly tear Steve's arm off.

Rolling on the ground to dodge the vampire's next attack, Steve clutched his injured arm with an uncomfortable expression.

The injury to his arm was undoubtedly a great weakening of his combat effectiveness, and such a situation was obviously quite fatal to the battle in front of him.

Bang, bang, bang-

Stimulated by the blood, the vampire's emotions were obviously getting more and more excited, and it was about to take advantage of the victory to chase and finish Steve, but the crisp sound of gunfire suddenly rang out, blocking it in front of it.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

Then, with a sound of footsteps, Dior walked down from the second floor step by step with a mask in hand: "This kind of battle beyond ordinary people, Steve, this is what I have been pursuing." ”

[Legend from Steve Rogers +235]

[Legend from Bucky Barnes +185]

"Dior!"

Looking at the sudden appearance of Dior, both Steve and Bucky's faces showed a look of astonishment, but soon Steve noticed the stone ghost face he was holding in his hand, heard the words in his mouth, and hurriedly said: "Now, it's not the time to talk about this, Dio." ”

"No, Steve, you're wrong."

Interrupting Steve's words rudely, Dior walked over to Jim's corpse, took the mask and said: "Remember this mask, Steve, I have always believed that it has an unknown secret, I have studied it for a long time, and finally let me find out the correct way to use it, as long as it is smeared on this mask with human blood, its ability will be activated......"

"It's just your guess, Dio."

"No, Steve, over the past few years, with the battle with you, I have come to understand that there is a limit to the abilities of human beings after all, and what I have learned from my short life is that the more human beings play tricks, the more powerless they will find in the face of powerful forces...... Unless beyond humans. ”

"What the hell are you talking about, Dior!"

Dior's words made Steve subconsciously frown, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Rubbing the mask in his hand over the wound on Jim's chest and putting it on his face, Dio exclaimed, "...... So, I'm not going to be a man anymore, Steve! ”

[Legend from Steve Rogers +1705]

[Legend from Bucky Barnes +835]

At this moment, the power of the [Dio Brando] vampire completely exploded, and the eyes exposed by the mask flashed with a terrifying red light.

Bang Dong –

The mask fell off Dior's face and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

Immediately after, Dio's body appeared in front of Steve in an instant under Steve's stunned gaze, and he swung his fist and smashed it with powerful force.

In the face of Dio's powerful attack, Steve didn't have time to think about it, and almost subconsciously raised his intact arm to face him.

Bang –

Click!

With a dull sound of blowing, Steve flew upside down, and Dio's originally raised arm also fell.

"You're crazy, Dior!"

Seeing that Dio actually shot at Steve without saying anything, the expression on Bucky's face suddenly changed, and he directly raised his gun and turned to him.

However, in the face of Bucky's muzzle, Dio did not have the slightest fear, he appeared next to a Hydra soldier with a jump, reached out to grab the soldier's body, and pierced him in the other party's struggle, and then saw the soldier's body quickly shriveled, and Dio's originally twisted and broken arm also recovered: "Steve, do you see, this is the real power of the stone ghost face, and now you are no longer my opponent, just like when you participated in the super soldier program!" ”

"This is the power you are after, Dio, to become a monster?!"

Steve clutched his arms and looked at the corpse of the drained Hydra soldier with a pale expression.

"No, I didn't become a monster, I just became a more perfect creature than a human. In fact, I think John Schmidt is right, if you have power beyond humans, why hide yourself, the phoenix is not with pheasants, in fact, Steve, I have long had enough of your weak will! obviously has superhuman strength, but he is willing to be controlled by others as a clown. ”

"There aren't too many transcendents in this world, especially stupid guys like you, so Steve, die with your weak will!"

Bucky had been wary of Dio's moves, so the moment he heard his words, he raised the gun in his hand and shot at him.

The pouring bullets hit Dio's body, but they didn't stop him in the slightest.

As Steve said, Dior has become a complete monster today.

Seeing that Dio was pressing forward step by step, and in his current state Steve, he couldn't resist Dio, who had turned into a monster.

Boom –

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of artillery fire, the members of the previously evacuated squad rushed over with reinforcements.

"Looks like you're in luck, Steve." Turning his head to look at the fierce artillery fire coming from outside the base, Dio's footsteps did not stop but accelerated, and he grinned and showed his sharp teeth: "However, I just don't know if these people are moving fast, or if I am killing you faster!" ”

"Steve, come on!"

Finding that the bullet had no effect on Dior, Bucky immediately threw down the submachine gun in his hand, and with a pounce, he fell to the ground, grabbed the shield that fell on the ground, and threw it in Steve's direction.

Bang - Bang -

Raising his hand to catch the shield thrown by Bucky, Steve gritted his teeth to block Dio's fist.

His condition was not good, especially since the previous vampire attack made one of his arms unable to use it at all, and at this moment he barely resisted Dio's attack, which made Steve's already serious injury a little more serious, and the blood that continued to ooze from the wound directly dyed his uniform a bright red color.

"I'd like to see how long you can last, Steve!"

Noticing Steve's injuries, the expression on Dio's face became more and more crazy, and his hands rained down on Steve in front of him.

"Dior!"

Seeing that Steve is getting more and more difficult under his own attack. At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Huh?"

Dior, turning his head, saw that Bucky had already driven in a tank car at some point.

"We have to do this?"

Inside the tank, the surviving squad members looked at Dio in front of them, obviously hesitating. They hadn't experienced what had happened before, so it was impossible for them to know what had happened in that time.

"This is the only way to save Steve!"

In response, Bucky replied categorically, and controlled the muzzle of the gun to aim at Dior and fired.

Boom –

The heavy cannonball, driven by the gunpowder, produced a powerful explosion that hit Dior's body with unmistakable accuracy, sending him flying, while Steve, who was closest to the center of the gunfire, blocked most of the damage with the effect of his shield. Eventually, he staggered and fell to the ground.

……

"Thank you."

Brooklyn, a secret base under the Strategic Science Division.

Steve touched his bandaged wound and thanked Agent Carter in silence.

"Steve, you should know that the incident with Dior is not your fault."

Looking at the silent Steve in front of him, Agent Carter couldn't help but say a word of comfort.

Everything that happened to the team, the Strategic Science Department had all the information in the first place, including Jim's death and everything Dior had done.

"I know, it's just ......"

Stretching out his arm with difficulty to pick up his clothes, Steve's expression was a little low: "I was thinking that if the doctor had chosen Dio instead of me, maybe these things would not have happened now." ”

"You should know why Dr. Abraham Erskine chose you as a test subject, Steve." Stepping forward to take Steve's clothes and help him put them on, Agent Carter replied: "Serum can make the good better, and the bad can be worse, and Dio's performance proves how right Dr. Abraham Erskine's previous choice was, you are the most suitable person for the Super Soldier Serum." ”

“……”

Agent Carter's words made Steve a little silent.

……

"So, that's what happened at the Hydra base?"

Colonel Phillips frowned as he listened to Bucky's account of what had happened at the base before: "You mean, after Dio put on that weird mask, he turned into an unbeatable monster?" As he spoke, Colonel Phillips turned his head to look at Howard on the side: "Didn't you say that there was nothing unusual about that mask?" ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Colonel, but I'm just an engineer, and you can't expect me to know everything."

In response to Colonel Phillips' vaguely critical questioning, Howard raised an eyebrow and replied.

"Because of your negligence, I lost two excellent soldiers."

Colonel Phillips had always had high expectations of Dior, and even thought that he was the most suitable user of the Super Soldier Serum. It's just that he didn't expect that in the end, he would make such a choice.

"Have you found Dior's body?"

"Not really." Shaking his head, Bucky replied with a frown, "We've searched there several times since then, but we have never been able to find Dior's body. ”

"Maybe he was torn apart by the shells." Having not seen the power displayed by Dio, who had become a vampire, Howard clearly did not think that anyone could survive the power of a cannonball.

"No, Dio must still be alive."

Walking into the Strategic Research Room with Carter, Steve replied in the affirmative.

"If the power of the stone ghost face really exists, then Dio must have been transformed into a legendary vampire by it."

"Vampires?!"

"That's right, according to what I read with Dio at the Hydra base in the early days, the stone ghost face is what Hydra found with the vampires in Tensberg. It's just that Hydra didn't study the power of the stone ghost face, but Dio ......"

Steve's words silenced everyone in the strategic research room.

"What about the mask?"

Suddenly, Colonel Phillips opened his mouth and asked Bucky.

After eyeing up at Steve, Bucky replied, "I don't know, maybe it was blown to pieces in the explosion." ”

In fact, it wasn't the explosion in Bucky's mouth that really ruined the stone ghost face, but Steve.

Dio's transformation made them realize the horror of the stone ghost face, in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the evil power of the stone ghost face. Steve destroys the Stone Ghost Face as soon as he finds it.

Of course, although the practice is commendable. In fact, what they do makes no sense.

After all, the so-called stone ghost noodles are actually just a spectacle.

What really made Li Ran show the power of a vampire was the cards of the system.
