43. Angel Falls

The white light was suspended above Hulk's head, and the phoenix force injected into War Hulk's consciousness by Apocalypse was driven out by the resistance of Banner and Hulk's consciousness and the continuous heavy blow of force.

The Fold, destroyed by Captain Dread, ended up being Betty who delivered the final blow.

The War Knights of Apocalypse are defeated.

Hulk is free.

But his two saviors paid a heavy price, so I won't talk about it on Steve's side.

On Betty's side, Betty Ross, who had been suffocating for a while seeing Hulk awake, suddenly relaxed.

She made her own sacrifice out of guilt and to save her lover, and from the moment she held the hammer of Nur Boundbreaker, she was burning with her own life.

The erosion of the soul by the power of fear has penetrated into the body during the two battles between her and War Hulk.

Betty still retains her own consciousness, but like a traveler who has fallen into quicksand, she can only wait for the end of being dragged into hell in a sober state.

"Hulk, Banner"

The red-skinned Betty rode on Hulk. After she finally completed the redemption of her lover, the light in her eyes became more cloudy. She reached out tremblingly and wiped Hulk's blood-stained face. .

A trace of relief appeared on Betty's face, her skin was cracking, as if there was an unbridled flame burning in her body.

Ominous smoke rose from those cracked skins, making Betty look as if she was about to melt between heaven and earth.

"That's great, it's great that you're back."

She stood up and glanced at the Nur. Boundary Breaker Warhammer in her hand. The Dread Hammer was calling her.

But Betty no longer needed that power of fear.

The big snake promised Steve that as long as the captain becomes the Venerable Skyhammer, it will release the connection between Betty Ross and the Dread Hammer. The big snake did not go back on its word, and it did give Betty the option to quit.

But that cunning evil god is determined that Betty will not give up War Hulk.

Things have been going according to Orochi's design.

"boom"

Betty kicked the Boundary Breaker's warhammer away, but she herself became extremely weak due to the rapid withdrawal of her fearful divine power, and her whole body seemed to shrink rapidly.

Under Hulk's horrified gaze, the red giant Betty quickly changed back to Betty Rose's appearance. Dr. Betty had reached the moment when his oil was exhausted in the package of scorching disgust.

That warhammer was like a converter, exchanging life for power. Without the maintenance and infusion of fear power, Betty's life was like a candle in the wind, which would soon be extinguished.

"Banner! Come out! Save people! Banner!!"

Hulk hugged his head and howled. This big green man knelt beside Betty. As he roared with all his strength, his body shrank rapidly. During this painful transition, Bruce Banner's consciousness quickly rose.

A few seconds later, Dr. Banner gained control of his body. He reached out and grabbed the dying Betty's wrist. The burning sensation like magma from the cracked skin made the pain in Banner's eyes even worse.

How could an ordinary person like Betty endure the internal burning of this temperature?

This woman who loved him so much set herself on fire as a firewood. She exchanged her own life for the lives of Banner and Hulk.

"Go and apologize to Steve"

Betty was lying on the ground, she looked like a ceramic puppet that had been burned and cracked, and there were marks of cracked skin on her cheeks, which looked really scary.

The ignited skin was peeling off the smoke and dust. In the smog, she tried hard to show a painful smile to Banner, and she said to Banner in a hoarse voice:

"Hey, don't get out of control"

"Don't cry for me, Banner, I protected you too. I did it voluntarily. You didn't do anything wrong. No one died because of you. Don't feel guilty."

"Shut up, honey."

Dr. Banner knelt beside Betty, and he said softly:

"I will save you, I will."

As he spoke, Dr. Banner looked at the phoenix power floating in the air behind him. It no longer had the appearance of fragments, but such a high concentration of concentrated power was difficult to dissipate quickly.

Banner grabbed the dying Betty with his left hand, he gritted his teeth, and stretched out his right hand to the light ball in the air.

If the phoenix fragment can fold him and Hulk, then it can also fold Betty and him, or Betty and Hulk, as long as this folding is completed, then Betty's vitality will be replenished.

The price is likely to be that one of him and the Hulk die instead of Betty.

"Hulk, would you like to?"

Banner asked inwardly.

"Hulk likes Betty!"

This is Hulk's answer.

In the next second, Banner's hand clasped the white light cluster in the air, and he and Betty were enveloped in the white light.

If only Betty could do self-sacrifice for him and the Hulk.

Then Banner and Hulk can do the same for their loved ones.

—

London, England.

The city fell into chaos visible to the naked eye. The source of the chaos originated from the most prosperous area of ​​the city, and a biting cold wind enveloped the city.

Looking into the distance from a height, the upper half of the landmark Tower of London has been completely frozen.

It's like a symbol of despair erected at the end of winter.

And as sung in a certain song, after one-third of the London Bridge was frozen, it was completely crushed by a heavy blow, and the bridge collapsed.

People are fleeing.

Just like a frightened flock of sheep fleeing in a panic, the streets are in a mess, behind the screaming crowd, there is a terrible god of death chasing them.

It was the wind, the cold wind, from a pair of wings that spread doom.

High in the sky, the Death Knights of the Apocalypse, the Iceman and the Angel-folded Indifference are hovering there.

He still has the handsome face and sturdy figure of the angel Warren, but behind the body, the three pairs of wings completely shaped by crystal clear ice reflect indifferent light.

The frozen wings are very vivid, with lifelike feathers, like a work of art carved by a skilled craftsman.

The death knight looked at the city below with lonely eyes. He saw those people running wildly in the apocalypse. There was no sadness or joy in his eyes. Between the flapping of his wings again, an extremely cold storm rolled over the city.

It was like a breeze blowing across the face, quickly passing the street below.

Wherever the wind goes, everything is frozen, tall buildings, vehicles, people.

Those fugitives still maintain their own form, maintain a terrified expression, and maintain a running posture, just like the most graceful ice sculptures. In the instant freezing disaster, all lives are treated equally.

Men, women, children, old people, and the entire city behind the death knight that has been frozen for a small half.

It looks like an open-air ice sculpture exhibition hall.

It's not just ordinary people frozen in the city behind the Death Knight, but also the warriors, cops, soldiers, wizards, and superheroes who try to fight him off.

But these courageous rebels are now part of those ice sculptures.

On the frozen street, the witch Hermione and her heroic knights are rushing to the scene of the incident.

Riding on a white warhorse, wearing armor and carrying a holy spear, Artoria held the reins. Hermione sat behind the saddle in a ladylike posture, her hands tightly grasping the slender waist of the heroic knight.

The Ministry of Magic in London was wiped out a few minutes ago. Hermione who received the news had just returned to London from Paris, where she was also attacked by the death knight a few hours ago.

Much of the city of Paris was frozen, and now the same fate was befalling London.

"This era is really full of disasters."

The heroic knight said to Hermione while galloping:

"This attacker is powerful. You have to be prepared to start a round table vote. I may need to release at least 2 seals to kill him."

"The City"

There was a look of unbearableness in Hermione's eyes, and the knight spirit also pursed her lips. After a few seconds, she said:

"When the monster came here, the city was over."

"hum"

The light and shadow of the Transfiguration Curse suddenly appeared, and in front of the galloping horse, a tall man wearing a wild mage's cloak stepped out of the distorted light.

The white war horse carrying the knight and witch neighed, and raised its front hooves to stop itself on the spot.

Arturia grabbed the holy spear and stared at the uninvited guest in front of her. She had never seen this person before her, but that guy gave her a strange sense of familiarity.

"Strange?"

The witch Hermione saw the iconic robe and the magic floating cloak at a glance, but when the spell weapon raised her head, it was not Strange's face that was revealed.

It was a face very similar to that of Wolverine Logan. He seemed to have just experienced a bitter battle, his body was covered with blood, and his whole body exuded a wild and dangerous aura.

As if his throat was hurt, he said in a hoarse, slurred voice to the knight spirits and witches in front of him:

"You send the crowd out of the city, or protect them. That angel of death, I'll take care of it!"

"Also, these ice sculptures"

The spell weapon glanced at the ice sculptures of human bodies scattered on both sides of the street, and he said to Hermione:

"Ms. Elsa will come to release them later. These frozen people can still be saved, provided that the integrity of these ice sculptures is not destroyed."

After speaking, the spell weapon turned around and rushed towards the sky while the magic floating cloak was swinging behind it.

He flew extremely fast, and he didn't try to sneak attack. He just rushed to the death knight flapping his frosty wings in the sky. The death knight also found a new challenger.

He tilted his head, staring at the spell weapon rushing from below, his cold body spun rapidly, the feathers on his wings were like flying knives, howling and piercing towards the warrior flying below.

The magic weapon waved and applied the magic shield to the body. Between the interlaced arms, the silver steel claws popped out from the flesh, and above the already sharp claws, there was also a viscous orange halo of lava.

He let out a deep battle cry, and between waving his sharp claws several times, those cold ice thorns were crushed in the air.

"puff"

The scorching steel claws pierced the death knight's chest from left to right, piercing through his frozen heart, but not a single drop of blood flowed out.

The death knight stared indifferently at the spell weapon full of anger. He didn't seem to feel any pain at all. The huge ice wings hit the attacker like two war hammers, knocking Logan back.

With the help of the magic floating cloak, he flipped twice in the air and stopped firmly.

The frozen cheeks recovered quickly at the moment of contact, and Logan regained his self-healing power.

Stronger self-healing power.

On the other hand, the death knight, the puncture wound on his chest also healed quickly.

Apocalypse transferred Wolverine's healing powers to the Death Knight, and it was a battle between two healing monsters.

"bass"

The death knight raised his hands, and two long swords full of icicles appeared in his hands between the ice formations. It seemed that this taciturn guy was going to have a head-on confrontation with the spell weapon.

But just as he was flapping his wings and rushing towards Logan, the door of the mysterious house opened silently over London.

Immediately afterwards, a stone hammer with a round appearance and wrapped in purple lightning flew out of the door whistling, like a shell fired from a chamber, and ruthlessly hit the death knight's back.

The death knight, who had inherited Wolverine's beast sense, reacted.

One second before the war hammer hit his body, the huge frozen wings folded backwards, like several extremely cold shields, protecting the death knight's back, but it was useless!

This stone hammer has special destructive power.

At the moment of contact, the sturdy ice wings were easily shattered like fragile glass. Amidst the brilliant dancing of thousands of crystal shards reflecting the sunlight, the death knight, whose face was full of astonishment, looked back.

He saw the scene of the Skyhammer Venerable Colossus jumping from the high-altitude door.

There was also the stone hammer that broke everything. Under the call of Colossus, it fell back into the hands of Venerable Sky Hammer. After another round, the stone hammer hit the angel's body again.

"boom"

The hammered death knight spurted blood, and with the sound of the ice armor on his body being shattered, he hit the ground like a meteorite.

And how could the magic weapon miss this opportunity?

Under the blessing of magic, Logan's figure was like a flying butterfly, and he attacked nearly a hundred times within 2 seconds. The scorching claws danced wildly, and almost tore the death knight's body apart.

When he fell to the ground, his arms had no flesh and blood, as if they had been completely removed by a boning knife, and even his left eye was pierced by Logan with steel claws.

"boom"

Colossus holding a dread hammer landed in front of the death knight, and a spell weapon with staggered claws appeared behind him.

The death knight's flesh and blood are rapidly healing themselves, and the power of unlimited ice originating from the Iceman is also being awakened. In this city square, a biting cold wind blows, and ice blocks visible to the naked eye also spread outwards from the angel's feet.

The wide and frozen wings on his back were reassembled bit by bit, like an angel who fell into the world in myths and legends.

But he does not represent salvation and hope.

"Aw!"

Just as the three-way war was about to begin, a roar of a beast sounded in the frozen city.

The death knight raised his head as if sensing a natural enemy. On the top of a frozen tall building on the left, a man with burning hands was standing there.

In his hand, is a flaming black cheetah.

The master of fire and punishment, the greatest enemy of the black panther and ice

Join the battle!

Angel, about to fall.
