"Ice Age!"

Under the gaze of the Avengers.

Kuzan slowly exhaled a breath of cold air from his mouth, and as a cold current surged, the ground quickly froze into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oops!"

Looking at the ice cubes that were spreading, Natasha's expression changed, and she only felt a chill to her bones, as a battle-hardened former S.H.I.E.L.D. super agent, she retreated in the direction of the spread of the freezing aura without any hesitation.

However, even Natasha, who reacted so quickly, did not escape the power of the ice in the end.

The rapidly spreading cold air enveloped Natasha around [Kuzan] and all the remaining members of the Avengers in an instant, turning them into lifelike ice cube statues.

Of course, it's not just the Avengers who are frozen.

“……”

In the silence, [Kuzan] slowly got up, and where his gaze was looking, there was no sound in the originally noisy American army camp at the moment.

The chill unleashed by Kuzan froze the entire camp in an instant.

If, at this moment, someone walks into the camp where the American soldiers are, they will find that the expressions on the faces of the soldiers who were frozen into ice sculptures in the camp do not have the slightest pain, and even the vast majority of them still maintain the movements of the moment before they were frozen, which means that these American soldiers were frozen without any reaction at all.

Retracting his gaze from the frozen camp in the distance, Kuzan swept over the surrounding Avenger ice sculptures.

Then it stopped on Steve's body.

The surging cold snap froze the Captain America at the moment of holding a shield to resist, and judging by the expression on the other party's face in the ice, it was obvious that he was opening his mouth to do something.

However, the cold prevented Captain America from making any further movements, and at the same time froze him in the moment he opened his mouth.

Ordinary people, how to stay in the frozen environment for too long, will undoubtedly encounter a deadly threat.

Even if it is the Avengers who are frozen in front of them, most of the members are far beyond ordinary people, but the continuous low temperature will also cause serious damage to them, and may even take their lives.

However, Li Ran in the antique store did not have any reaction to this.

He didn't even add to the problem of letting [Kuzan] free Steve and them from the ice.

Because he knew that someone would save them.

Sure enough, in the antique store, Li Ran's idea had just fallen.

I saw that not far from [Kuzan], the illusion figure that was also frozen was blurred for a while, and it was like a phantom that passed out of the ice.

"Well, there are still fish that have slipped through the net."

Noticing the scene of the vision piercing through the ice, Kuzan raised his eyebrows and raised his palm to release the chill before he could do it.

However, at this moment, a watch-like device from [Kuzan]'s wrist suddenly rang.

"This is [Kuzan]."

With one hand on Vision, Kuzan lifted his other arm to connect the device, and replied in a deep voice.

"Captain Pheasant, it's not good, our containment of the [Holy Lord] has failed, and now the revived [Holy Lord] has destroyed the base...... Even ......"

The device was connected, and from inside the watch came a rapid report and a constant sound of explosions and destruction.

"Containment breach?"

Hearing the report, Kuzan's brow furrowed slightly.

Then his eyes flickered, he glanced at the vision in front of him and the Avengers who were still frozen around him, and then turned his head to look at [Dominic Butch], who was also frozen by him, and the cold aura that had been emitted from his body suddenly dispersed, and he stretched his waist when he withdrew his arm towards Vision, and the original cold expression on his face returned to his sleepy-eyed appearance again, and said with a yawn: "Since containment has failed, Then the rest of the matter is not the responsibility of our third operation team, it seems that the American government seems confident that the [Holy Lord] will be eliminated, and your next work will be handed over to you, the Avengers. ”

Yawning, Kuzan reached out and pressed the device on his wrist.

In the next moment, under the gaze of the illusion, I saw the [Any Door] that had disappeared before reappeared.

[Kuzan] grabbed [Dominic Butch] with one hand and put it on his shoulder, while holding [Any Door] and turning the doorknob to pull it out, carrying [Dominic Butch] and walking inside.

"By the way, if you don't want to see all those frozen American soldiers die, act quickly."

Before the figure was about to enter the [Any Gate], [Kuzan] poked his head out, looked at the vigilant Vision, and slowly reminded in a deep voice: "Every minute of delay, the more dangerous the lives of those soldiers become, and if these soldiers all freeze to death, you will have to fight the [Holy Lord] alone, Avenger." ”

Bang –

As Kuzan's words fell, the last of his poked out head disappeared into the Arbitrary Door.

Watching the figure of [Kuzan] disappear into the [Any Door], the illusion looked at the wooden door in front of him as if it were a phantom.

"Whew~"

The solemn expression on his face was slightly relaxed, and then the whole movement shook a little.

The frequent use of the power of the Mind Gem has brought Vision's body close to the point of running out of oil.

However, thinking of the words [Kuzan] left behind when he left, Vision had to support his already extremely weak body to stand on his feet. Looking at Steve who was frozen in front of him, the light of the Mind Gem on his forehead flickered like nothing, and at the same time, a ray of light with high temperature fell on the ice sculpture of Captain America.

……

“…… It's pretty bad, Kyle......"

"We have the right to know the truth of the matter, why such a huge monster is in the territory of Canada, obviously, our government is hiding the truth, the new Prime Minister Justin has deceived us, he has taken us all for fools, and the whole of Canada is in deep crisis."

"It's all the government's fault, we need help!"

"Damn, did you see that monster, that horrible monster, it destroyed the biggest port in our town in one bite, and no one, no one told me what was going on......"

"This is punishment, a punishment from God!"

"Avengers, we need the Avengers, Canada needs help!"

"I have known for a long time, I have known for a long time, I have seen the figure of the Canadian military before, they have already secretly done something unseemly, this huge monster may be the product of the military's experiments, I once wanted to tell the truth, but was warned by the military, this group of damn guys, their experiments are out of control."

"Thank you to the reporters on the front lines...... News report ......"

The anchor of CBC Canada's news TV station watched the increasingly excited people and had to end the news interview under the director's instructions.

He nodded slightly, glanced at the instant information in his hand, and immediately spoke: "Now insert a new report, the new Prime Minister Justin has made a statement about the giant monster that appeared in Canada, saying that he is completely unaware of the existence of this monster, everything is the military's action, and said that he will punish the military involved, and at the same time send a request for assistance to the international community, hoping that the Avengers will stop the monster that is wreaking havoc in Canada......"

In the news report, outside the Parliament building in Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin looked decadent, and it was clear that he was exhausted by the destruction caused by the out-of-control monster.

Thanks to the development of the Internet, Canada is simply unable to prevent the transmission of messages about the Holy Lord.

Especially as the resurrected Lord left the military base and moved towards Canada, more and more people saw this huge monster, and the panic caused by it became more and more great.

At this time, Justin hoped that the troops sent by the United States would arrive as soon as possible to stop the raging Lord.

What Justin doesn't know, however, is that the situation with the American forces is not too rosy.

……

"Thank you!"

With a blanket draped over his body, Sam the Falcon shivered and took the hot coffee from Natasha on the side, lowered his head and took a sip to feel the warmth that filled his body, he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the blanket on his body again. Although he was successfully freed from the ice with the help of Vision, the period of freezing also caused significant damage to Sam's body.

"You're welcome."

Compared to Sam, Natasha's situation is slightly better.

The modified body and past experiences have made her resistant to cold a little stronger than ordinary people, and she has successfully recovered after a period of cultivation.

He rubbed his hands together to resist the lingering chill that enveloped the entire camp.

At this time, the barracks where the Avengers were located was opened, and then Tony and others with tired faces walked in.

"How's it going?"

Looking at the people who came back, Natasha immediately opened her mouth and asked.

"It's basically settled."

Although he was the first of the Avengers to be frozen by Kuzan, Hulk's strong physical fitness made Banner almost unaffected by the cold force, and he recovered when he came out of the huge ice ball, and cooperated with Tony to enter the frozen camp to save him.

"Using the body parts left behind by Ultron and the power of vision, we improvised a heating device to thaw the frozen soldiers through sustained heat."

Stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, from the time he received Steve's contact to the time he rushed to the camp, Tony had not rested and launched a rescue operation, and he was extremely tired at this time.

"It's just that the soldiers have been frozen for a long time to thaw, and even if they have been able to move, they can't immediately recover their combat capability."

Also rushed back to the barracks with Tony.

'War Machine' James was even more worried about the situation in the entire camp, and he had already found that many of his thawed bodies had problems under the erosion of the cold, including General Ross.

"The worst-case scenario is more than that."

Faced with a worried Tony, Natasha had to tell everyone worse news.

"According to the latest reports from the Canadian side, the [Holy Lord] who came out of the military base has come to the town near the Canadian port, although the Canadian side has dispatched a certain degree of military force to stop it, but there is no doubt about the result, and now the entire Internet is full of relevant reports about the [Holy Lord]."

"What about the SCP Foundation?"

Hearing what Natasha said, Tony couldn't help but frown.

"Agent Hill has attempted to contact Mr. Long."

"The other party said that the SCP Foundation has decided to temporarily abandon the containment of the [Holy Lord]."

"Give it up for now."

"It seems that the United States has completely angered the SCP Foundation by doing this time."

Hearing Natasha's reply, Tony couldn't help but mutter.

"It's not just the Pentagon, it's the Avengers."

Her own experience as an agent has made Natasha's feelings for the United States not as important as the rest of the Avengers, so she knows better that this time the SCP Foundation's performance is not only for the United States, but also because of the Avengers' practices.

"I think that with this fight, even if the Avengers and the SCP Foundation cooperate again in the future, there will be no way to return to the previous level."

“……”

Natasha's analysis silenced Steve's expression for a moment.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that what Natasha said was right, and this conflict allowed the Avengers to see the power of the SCP Foundation, and at the same time, it also planted the seeds of division between them, which were still tacit cooperation. The SCP Foundation's stance is to protect all of humanity, even if there are sacrifices, it is a necessary trade-off, as long as the containment can be successfully completed in the end, and more people can be protected.

However, the Avengers cannot watch this sacrifice happen, they are superheroes, and the purpose of their existence is to protect the people.

"Whew~"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his inner thoughts again, Steve looked at the people in the barracks and spoke again: "Now, it's too late to talk about this, according to Vision, the SCP Foundation has obviously decided not to carry out the second containment of the [Holy Lord], at least before the American government encounters a complete defeat, but we can't watch this happen, if the [Holy Lord] continues to destroy, there will be many innocent people in danger, so even if it can't be contained like the SCP Foundation. We must also try to stop the Lord from continuing to destroy. ”
