Chapter 524: Ice Age

Next to Natasha.

Hearing Kuzan's 'empathetic' description, Sam the Falcon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and whispered.

If the previous self-proclaimed deputy leader of the SCP Foundation's Third Mobile Squad [Dominic Butch] could be so eloquent.

Perhaps the immediate conflict could have been avoided instead of the current scene.

However, compared to Sam, Natasha is not so easy.

frowned and looked at [Kuzan] in front of him, the sensitivity from the super agent made Natasha's inner uneasiness never let go.

"But ......"

Sure enough, in the midst of Natasha's uneasy gaze, [Kuzan] in front of Captain America changed his words and continued to say in his deep voice: "I will not question and deny the position of others, it does not mean that when others, especially the American government, hinder the actions of the SCP Foundation, I will be indifferent...... So, whether it's for Vice-Captain [Dominic Butch] or the SCP Foundation, it's necessary for me to make our position clear to the United States. ”

"Okay, I'll take back what I said before."

Sam sighed silently as he watched Kuzan's sudden change of stance, while controlling the metal wings behind him in a fighting stance.

"Isn't there a better way?"

From [Kuzan]'s words, Steve knew the position of the leader of the third mobile team of the SCP Foundation in front of him, and raised his shield to protect him, but he still had expectations in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Captain America, but that doesn't mean I'm going to join in."

“……”

Although [Kuzan] was not as cold as [Dominic Butch], Steve understood the meaning of his words from his answer.

Behind the shield, Steve took a deep breath and immediately expressed his attitude to [Kuzan] with a firm expression.

"In that case, then I can only say sorry, as Captain America, I can't watch these soldiers get hurt and remain indifferent, for me, they are also the ones I protect."

"It's a pity, Captain America, it looks like our positions are not only inconsistent, but even conflicting."

Looking down at Steve with a determined expression in front of him, [Kuzan] shook his head slightly, stretched out his palm in front of his mouth and blew gently, and the cold air spit out from his mouth instantly formed an ice blade in front of him.

"Ice blades!"

Reaching out and grabbing the handle of the blade, Kuzan pointed at Steve and said, "And I'm not going to stop at what stands in my way, Captain America." ”

"Me too, [Kuzan]."

As a World War II veteran, Steve himself is a decisive person who will not easily change his decisions once he has made them.

"Catch my skate, then, Captain America."

Since each other has expressed their own positions and attitudes, there is nothing to say about the future.

Kuzan swung the ice blade in his hand and slashed at Steve with a bone-chilling chill.

Zheng Zheng –

Raising the vibranium shield in his hand, he blocked [Kuzan]'s slash.

The metal-like sound of the shield colliding with the blade proves that the blade conjured in Kuzan's hand is not only not as fragile as it seems, but even hard enough to collide with Steve's shield.

With his shield's strong defense, Steve was able to block Kuzan's attacks.

However, [Kuzan]'s slash brought more than just great power, on the surface of the shield where the blade of the ice blade touched, a cold chill immediately spread along the ice blade.

Although the shield made of vibranium also had the ability to resist extreme temperatures, it was quickly covered with a thin layer of ice in the face of the continuous flow of freezing aura from [Kuzan]'s hands.

"Captain!"

Seeing this, Steve was having a hard time under [Kuzan]'s attack.

Without any hesitation, the metal wings behind Sam the Falcon's control rushed in the direction of the two.

"Ice cubes" two-thorned spears"! ”

Looking at the flying falcon, the expression on [Kuzan]'s face did not change in the slightest, he held the ice blade in one hand to suppress Steve in front of him, and the other hand was slightly raised to the position of the falcon, and with a soft snort in his mouth. Two triangular ice spears made of ice cubes quickly formed behind him, and shot at Sam in the direction of Kuzan's fingers.

"What?!"

In the face of the menacing ice spear, Sam didn't choose to hard-connect like Steve.

After all, he didn't have an indestructible shield like Captain America's hand.

Controlling the metal wings behind his back, Sam dodged the flying ice spear with a deft flip.

Click-

However, before Sam could breathe a sigh of relief, a bone-chilling chill spread to his body, and under the influence of the freezing breath, the metal wings behind Sam immediately lost their original flexible reactions, and with the piercing sound of mechanical operation, a layer of frost appeared on it, and Sam's whole person fell straight to the ground like a bird that had lost its wings.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the ground that was getting closer and closer, the expression on Sam's face distorted a little.

Unlike the previous landing in the camp, he also had the opportunity to manipulate his wings to glide, and the metal wings frozen by the cold at the moment couldn't even react at all. And, because of the height of the fall, he didn't even have time to open the emergency parachute behind him for rescue.

Boom!

Seeing it, it's time to have an intimate contact with the ground.

At the last minute, Sam had only time to put his hands on his head and close his eyes in anticipation of the impact.

However, after a few seconds, the expected pain did not come.

On the contrary, I felt that the whole body was light and fluttering, without a trace of gravity.

Slowly opening his eyes, the falcon looked at the faint yellow light wrapped around his body.

Not far away, Vision raised his arm, making a difficult gesture to move.

It turned out that at the last moment, Vision used the powerful spiritual power developed by the Mind Gem to forcibly stop Sam's falling posture and save the Avengers at the last moment.

"Whew~"

Controlling Sam to fall to the ground carefully, Vision withdrew his mental power, and the whole figure shook again, obviously the frequent bursts of power had overwhelmed him a little.

However, looking up at Kuzan who was fighting Captain America not far away, Vision knew that he couldn't fall at this time.

Zheng Zheng –

Holding the ice blade in his hand and constantly slashing at Steve, the vibranium shield's strong defense made every slash of [Kuzan] unable to leave the slightest mark on it, but the chill to the bone continued to spread to Steve's body with each attack of [Kuzan].

Behind the shield, Steve, who was constantly resisting, clearly felt that as the battle continued, his whole body became more and more sluggish, just like he fell to the South Pole more than seventy years ago.

Boom!

Slashed at the shield, and in the face of [Kuzan]'s attack, although Steve had tried his best to resist, his sluggish body made his movements holding the shield obviously pause a little.

Seizing the flaw of this moment, [Kuzan] raised his long legs and kicked Steve's body hard, and the powerful force directly kicked Captain America's fairly tall figure out of the air, drawing a long ravine on the ground.

"Ahem......"

Grabbing the shield in his hand and sticking it on the ground to prop his body up, [Kuzan]'s powerful kick made Steve's chest feel a sharp pain, and he almost closed his breath, but compared to the impact of this blow, what was more terrifying was the freezing power of [Kuzan]'s kick, and he looked down at the position of his chest, where a thin layer of ice was clearly visible.

It didn't even take Steve to look at it, knowing that the spot he was kicked by [Kuzan] had been frozen and frostbitten.

Exhaled, stimulated by the chill in his chest, Steve felt a palpable pain in his every movement.

"Although, I don't want to say that, but Captain America, give up."

The skate blade was aimed at Steve, and [Kuzan] said in a deep voice, "You are not my opponent, if you continue, there is no second possibility except to die under my knife." ”

"Even so, I must stop you."

In the face of [Kuzan]'s declaration, Steve frowned and endured the constant stinging pain in his chest, used the support of the shield to stand up, grabbed the shield to protect it in front of him, he looked at the tall voice in front of him, and said with a firm expression: "Unless I fall completely, otherwise, you don't want to step past me, [Kuzan]. ”

“……”

Seeing Steve's unwavering appearance in his eyes, the expression on [Kuzan]'s face was silent for a moment.

He slowly let go of his palm and turned the ice blade in his hand back into fine ice and sprinkled it on the ground, and said in a low tone: "Unfortunately, Captain America, the SCP Foundation originally envisioned revealing more details and information about the containment object, so that the Avengers could also work together against the anomalous forces, but unfortunately, you chose a wrong, no, opposite position, in that case, then I can only do what you said, and defeat you." ”

As he spoke, [Kuzan] raised his arm, and at the same time, a large amount of cold air spread on his hand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, a layer of ice that continued to emit cold air was wrapped around [Kuzan]'s arms.

"Captain, I'll take care of the rest of the battle."

Looking at the posture of [Kuzan], Steve's fingers holding the shield couldn't help but tighten a little, and his heart was ready to sacrifice.

However, at this moment, with a cracking sound of breaking the air, Ultron flew in front of Steve in an instant, driven by the huge flames on his back.

"Ultron?!"

In the face of Ultron's sudden move, Steve couldn't help frowning, his gaze swept over the artificial intelligence in front of him, and he quickly saw the difference.

On Ultron's chest, the color of the arc reactor that provided the energy changed from dark blue to crimson, and at the same time, the visible heat continued to emanate from Ultron's mechanical body.

"I tried various analyses to calculate the battle between the Avengers and [Kuzan], but none of the results ended with the victory of the Avengers, even the most 'good' plan would require the sacrifice of more than half of the American troops and more than half of the members of the Avengers to stop the attack of [Kuzan], and this result is under the premise that [Kuzan] and even the SCP Foundation have not shown their strength further."

In front of Steve, Ultron's originally gentle and rational voice became a little distorted due to mechanical damage, but the results from its mouth clearly proved that the Avengers were not [Kuzan]'s opponent, and they couldn't even block them.

"As an artificial intelligence created by Mr. Stark, the purpose of my existence is to protect humanity, including the Avengers, but the power of [Kuzan] is beyond the scope of my calculations, so in order to be able to make the outcome of the battle as planned as possible, I must make changes and activate the final plan."

"The final solution?"

In the face of Ultron's description, Steve behind him didn't have time to react.

The artificial intelligence in front of him has already taken its own steps, and under the overload of the arc reactor in the body, every tiny movement of Ultron is a huge loss to the body.

“43%…… 52%…… 64%…… 69%……”

In the data of artificial intelligence, the wear and tear inside the body continues to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the large amount of heat outside the body surface of Ultron also makes the vibranium shell begin to show a metallic red color.

"Start, self-destruct ......"

With the terrifying heat, Ultron destroyed the arc reactor in his body in an instant, and a powerful force instantly vented out from the cracks in the vibranium shell, and at this time, Ultron was only one step away from the location of [Kuzan].

"Frozen Time Capsule!"

In the face of the explosion that was close at hand, the expression on [Kuzan]'s face was unusually calm.

He raised his palm to aim at Ultron, and with a soft drink, a large amount of cold air emerged from his hand, and in an instant, the horror of the explosion in front of Ultron was frozen at the same time, and it came to an abrupt end.

"It's over, it's all over."

Looking at Ultron who was frozen in front of him, [Kuzan] withdrew his gaze and swept over the avenger in front of him, and finally landed on the ruins of the camp not far away, only to see him slowly bend his body, touch the ground with his palm wrapped in ice, and shout in a low voice.

"Ice Age!"
