"Someone, release the Mirror Dimension for me!"
Fang Mo waved his hand and directly called out to Strange beside him.
"This..."
Upon seeing Fang Mo's action, Strange also started to hesitate, as things were developing differently from what he had expected.
However, after thinking it over again and recalling Fang Mo's previous actions towards him, Strange suddenly felt that this development was quite reasonable. He even thought that Nick Fury's suggestion was wrong. Anything that had even a slight connection with Fang Mo would definitely turn into a mess.
"Never mind, I'll do it myself."
While Strange was pondering these thoughts, Fang Mo had already grown impatient and casually waved his hand around.
Having learned the magic of Kamar-Taj from the Ancient One, and being a dimensional demon himself, Fang Mo took control of the Mirror Dimension in just an instant. When Strange noticed and tried to counter, he found the opponent's magic power to be as vast as the ocean, making it impossible for him to gain any initiative.
Soon, the Mirror Dimension began to shatter.
The figures of Captain America and Bucky, the Winter Soldier, directly appeared in front of everyone.
"Hm?"
Captain America was also stunned upon seeing this. However, upon spotting Fang Mo and Stark not far away, he immediately realized something was wrong: "Bucky, run..."
"What?"
The Winter Soldier Bucky was obviously still a bit slow to react.
"Bansho Ten'in."
Before anyone could react, Fang Mo had already raised his palm. An indescribably immense gravitational force targeted Captain America, uncontrollably pulling him towards Fang Mo.
"Wait, Fang Mo!"
Captain America, caught by the collar by Fang Mo, immediately started to argue anxiously: "Listen to me... That wasn't Bucky's doing, he was controlled by Hydra at the time, it wasn't him!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Fang Mo suddenly laughed upon hearing this: "Then suppose you were controlled by Hydra and used the Cosmic Cube to kill billions of humans, and you killed Bucky who tried to stop you, not instantly, but beat him to death with a shield, blow by blow... Would you make excuses for yourself or decide to apologize with death?"
"..."
Captain America suddenly hesitated upon hearing this.
"Actually, we are all hypocrites." Without waiting for Captain America to come up with something, Fang Mo spoke again: "You can forgive him, but you can't forgive yourself, can you?"
"Listen to me, Fang Mo."
Captain America, a bit anxious, said: "We can actually sit down and talk this through, this matter is really too complicated, none of us wants to see this outcome, it's a complete conspiracy!"
"The reason you can still calmly want to discuss this matter is because the deceased has nothing to do with you."
Fang Mo shook his head: "We all have lives on our hands, it's not something to be ashamed of, after all, we're not ordinary people, but how should I put it... if we're going to kill, we at least need to be prepared, right?"
"Discussing right and wrong in this matter is meaningless."
Fang Mo continued calmly: "If you've killed, then you've killed. Either you kneel down with guilt and let your enemies kill you, or because you don't want to die, defeat the enemies who come for revenge."
"Don't try to find any moral excuses, it will only make you look both bad and stupid."
Having said that, Fang Mo directly threw Captain America aside, smashing him hard against a wall. Then, suddenly, a light flashed in Fang Mo's eyes, and several rough and hard steel rods appeared on Captain America's body out of nowhere, firmly binding him to the wall.
This was the ability of the Eyes of Mercury, and it was the first time Fang Mo had used it in actual combat.
"Alright, Tony."
After doing all this, Fang Mo patted Stark on the shoulder: "Be a man, and complete your revenge."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Stark took a deep breath as well.
He looked up at the Winter Soldier across from him, a complex hatred emerging on his somewhat disheveled face, while his eyes also became moist and reddened.
The Winter Soldier, seeing this, quickly stepped back and instinctively clenched the rifle in his hand.
Stark, perhaps feeling embarrassed by his own reaction, did not allow everyone to see his expression for long. After exhaling, he suddenly donned his faceplate and began to walk step by step towards the Winter Soldier.
"Run! Bucky!"
Captain America immediately shouted upon seeing this.
The Winter Soldier hesitated for a moment upon hearing this but quickly made up his mind, turned around, and ran away.
Seeing this, Stark instantly activated the propulsion system of his armor. Flames shot from his feet, propelling him forward like a missile straight towards the Winter Soldier, followed by a punch aimed at his back. Stark, having consumed the golden apple and now boosted by the power of the nano armor, delivered a punch that would shatter the internal organs of an ordinary person.
However, the Winter Soldier, Bucky, having been enhanced by Soviet modifications, had physical abilities far beyond those of a normal human.
Facing the strong gust from behind, the Winter Soldier suddenly squatted to dodge the attack, then picked up his rifle and fired at Stark from close range.
The sound of bullets clanging echoed.
With sparks flying everywhere, Stark did not retreat a step but instead withstood the bullets, grabbed the Winter Soldier's neck with one hand, and aimed his other hand at his face, readying an energy blast from his palm.
The Winter Soldier, seeing this, contracted his pupils and quickly grabbed Stark's wrist with his mechanical arm, forcefully twisting it upward.
A "crack" sound followed, and a shower of electric sparks sprayed from the joints of Stark's armor.
There was no helping it; Stark's armor was designed for high precision, while the Winter Soldier's mechanical arm was designed by the Soviets with a philosophy emphasizing brute strength, so in a direct confrontation of strength, Stark did not have the upper hand.
The Winter Soldier, realizing he was stronger, immediately launched another attack.
This time, he formed his fingers into a knife shape and stabbed towards Stark's chest, likely aiming to destroy the arc reactor. However, Stark quickly guessed his opponent's intention and defended with both hands.
This powerful strike forced Stark to step back.
The Winter Soldier took the opportunity to break free from Stark's control.
After freeing himself, he didn't linger and quickly ran towards the escape route.
Seeing the Winter Soldier trying to flee seemed to daze Stark for a moment.
He seemed to hesitate, but upon seeing the mechanical arm, he suddenly remembered the scene of his parents' brutal death.
They were not killed by gunfire but were beaten to death with that mechanical fist, each punch to the face until they died. Stark had just watched that video; his father's face was smashed in, the skull shattered, and the features so mangled that it was hard to recognize his original appearance.
Thinking of this, Stark's eyes under the faceplate reddened.
He gritted his teeth, reached into a slot on his waist, and pulled out two portable arc reactors, then threw the reactors aside and activated a capability he hadn't used in a long time.
A flash of white light, and two more Starks in nano armor appeared beside him.
The three Iron Men lifted their left hands at the same time, and a barrage of micro-missiles launched, too fast for the Winter Soldier to evade. A deafening explosion followed, shaking the entire base as if it were quaking.
And amidst this, one could almost hear Captain America's roar.
"No!!!"
