------------------------------------------------
These words from Captain America directly shocked everyone present twice, except for the humanoid weapon, Winter Soldier!
The first time, they were shocked that Captain America actually called them white-skinned bastard pigs?!
Although they were indeed furious about this, on second thought, aren't you a fucking white-skinned pig too?
The second time was when Captain America said he would string them together to make a human centipede!
Good grief, it's one thing to be uncouth, but why have your methods become so disgusting?
Something's wrong! Very, very wrong!
Looking at the uncouth and irritable Captain America before them, the armed personnel present couldn't help but raise their muzzles and aim them at him.
Even the Winter Soldier sensed the killing intent and silently blocked the way in front of Pierce, in case Captain America suddenly lashed out.
"Everyone, put your guns down."
In this tense moment, Pierce suddenly stepped out from behind the Winter Soldier and raised his hand, signaling everyone to lower their weapons.
Hearing this, the HYDRA Agents, though confused, lowered their muzzles aimed at Captain America without the slightest hesitation.
This was one of HYDRA's advantages: subordinates had absolute obedience to their superiors.
Facing the drastically changed Captain America, Pierce showed no fear and calmly asked, "Captain, tell me, who do you serve now?"
Captain America's eyes scanned for an opening like a bloodthirsty wolf; at the slightest chance, he would not hesitate to fulfill his promise of turning everyone into a 'human centipede.'
Unfortunately, Pierce had arranged this place very tightly beforehand. There was an armed guard in almost every direction around Captain America. No matter where he tried to break out, he would be riddled with bullets by the others; there was simply no opening!
Finally, Captain America gave up on the idea of a forced breakout and fixed his gaze on Pierce, the obvious leader here, with a disdainful smile: "You're asking who I'm loyal to?"
"Am I supposed to tell you it's God? No, that old asshole who lets his believers suffer isn't worthy of my loyalty!"
"Or do you want me to say America? Even less so. This stupid country that sent my father to die on the battlefield, let my mother die in a hospital!!"
"So... I only serve myself!!"
After saying those last words, Captain America suddenly and without warning hurled the man in the white lab coat he was holding hostage toward Pierce!
Although Pierce had stepped out from behind the Winter Soldier, the Winter Soldier had not relaxed his guard and remained by Pierce's side.
So the moment the lab coat flew toward Pierce, the Winter Soldier reacted, stepping forward and punching the man into a C-shape with an iron fist, sending him flying!
But before the Winter Soldier could retract his fist, a sudden gust of wind came from the front. The next moment, the Winter Soldier saw Captain America coming at him with a flying knee!
Bang!
Having just thrown a punch, the Winter Soldier had no time to block and was struck in the chest by Captain America's fierce flying knee, sent flying back as if hit by a cannonball!
With his rich combat experience, Captain America didn't stop after the knee strike; his right hand immediately formed a claw and reached for Pierce.
Captain America's expression grew excited, not because capturing the other man would allow him to escape.
But because if he caught this guy, he was confident he could string everyone here into a human centipede!
Yet Pierce remained composed, speaking quickly, "I can help you get..."
Whoosh!
With that one sentence, Captain America's fingers stopped just an inch away from Pierce's neck.
The excited expression on Captain America's face froze, and his eyes narrowed. "Old asshole, why should I believe you?"
Pierce reached out to Captain America and said calmly, "Because you have no choice but to believe me, Captain. Trust me, you've been asleep for seventy years, and the World now is even more surreal than it was back then..."
"Even if you kill me and everyone here, once you step outside, you'll find that everything is politically correct, gender is undefined, and even your boss is a cunning man..."
"So, Captain, let us join forces to create the perfect World of our ideals!"
Hearing this, Captain America scanned the Special Ops Team, noting there wasn't a single black person, and finally reached out to shake Pierce's hand with a grin.
"If you can help me regain my rights, then it's a pleasure to work with you!"
"Tell me, in this new World, what do you need me to do? Assassinate the current President, or should I go and tear that boss of mine to pieces first?"
Pierce's eyes flickered as he shook his head. "No, neither. It's not time for that yet. Right now, I need you to recruit an ally for us—an ally who might be the strongest person in this World. He is..."
"Ryan Parker, that is my name."
Parallel Universe, Earth-200000.
In a conference room at the Avengers Base, under the curious gazes of the other Avengers in this Universe, Ryan, the only outsider, spoke his name.
Then, Captain America also told the others about the differences between the other Universe and theirs, such as the Spider Family and the vastly different Battle of New York.
As Captain America spoke, the other returning Avengers also wore strange expressions.
Because they had each encountered unexpected situations as well, and they began to recount the different circumstances they had met in other timelines of the Universe.
First was the Universe where Black Widow and Hawkeye went.
That's right, the Black Widow of this Universe did not sacrifice herself, offering her soul as the price for the Soul Stone.
Because when she and Hawkeye arrived at Vormir in the other Universe, they didn't encounter the soul guide Red Skull at all; instead, they met a different skeleton monster.
A skeleton man wreathed in fire, holding a little purple baby!
He called himself the Ghost Rider, and the one in his arms was the infant version of Thanos from that Universe.
Ghost Rider didn't tell them why he had adopted the infant Thanos; he simply tossed them the Soul Stone he was finished with after hearing they were also looking for it.
In Ghost Rider's words, he had sought the Soul Stone to completely break the soul contract Mephisto held over him.
Now that he had used the power of the Soul Stone to break the soul contract, the useless rock was of no more interest to him.
And just like that, Black Widow and Hawkeye obtained the Soul Stone in a state of utter confusion.
