Chapter 570 You Are Our Shield

Steve Rogers floats in the darkness.

Pale hands caressed his body. He was severely burned. Half of his face was burned and deformed. The fibers of his clothes and muscles were fused together, and his exposed skin was covered with blood blisters.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the operating table.

"Third-degree burns on the body, blindness in left eye...right forearm needs amputation, give me a breathing tube..."

Surrounded by several doctors, the beeping sound of the heart rate monitor echoed in his ears. He heard the doctor using scissors to cut off a piece of his burned flesh.

"Steve… Steve… look, look what you've done to yourself."

An old doctor looked at him, shook his head and muttered.

"But you're not dead yet, are you? You're always so strong."

"You are our shield, you have not yet fallen."

…

"Blood pressure is rising..."

"What was he burned with?"

"The magic flame can't disinfect and stop the bleeding, so I directly amputated the limb and then replaced it with black mud..."

"Well……"

Steve wanted to speak, but there was a tube in his mouth, inserted directly into his stomach, and a bunch of viscous substances were washed out.

"He's awake. The anesthesia effect is not enough. This guy's willpower is really strong. Give him another shot."

The doctors around him were busy filling their breathing masks with anesthetic.

Steve's eyelids became heavy, and he tried not to fall asleep, but he couldn't resist, so he closed his eyes obediently. In the dark, he heard a woman talking to him with a Nordic accent.

"You will be fine, my warrior."

…

"My warrior."

"call!"

Steve opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the snow-white ceiling in his field of vision. He lay quietly for a few seconds, then touched his right hand under the quilt.

Cool.

He raised his right hand and saw an iron-gray mechanical arm appearing in front of him. He moved his fingers a few times and made a clanging sound.

Distraught, Steve closed his eyes and rubbed his face with his hands, feeling the left side of his cheek feel cold and hard to the touch.

"Oh shit……"

Steve moved up his face and found that his hair was shaved, and half of his skull felt hard and smooth.

He lifted the quilt and rolled out of bed. As soon as he got up, he felt that his legs were not in control. He wanted to take steps, but he still stood frozen in place. He leaned forward and fell directly to the floor.

"Huh...huh..." Steve put his hands on the ground, grabbed the edge of the corner with his iron hands, and grabbed a piece of the corner directly.

Steve looked at the palm of the iron hand, and actually there were some iron hooks extending out from the four directions of the palm, which could automatically extend to assist in fixing during the grabbing action.

He struggled to get up and began to feel his legs, so he held on to the wall and walked slowly to the bathroom.

Niu opened the door and faced the mirror of the washstand. Steve saw his face. He was a little thinner than before and looked less energetic. The left cheek and half of his head were replaced by a black hard substance, and the left eye was missing. Also replaced with red electronic eyes.

Not only that, his lower jaw was also replaced with an alloy structure, leaving his lower gums exposed and biting together with his upper gums.

Steve touched his face, and a complex emotion surged into his heart. It was Diana who made him become like this. The red electronic eyes were flashing. He noticed something and unbuttoned his clothes.

Blue lines flickered on his body, and an impulse he had never felt before came over him. Lightning sparks burst out of Steve's right arm. He gritted his teeth and punched the mirror.

Electric light and sparks flashed, and the mirror in front of Steve shattered to the ground, and a hole as big as a washbasin was blasted out along with the wall. The water pipes buried in the wall were exposed, and water splashed onto the ground.

The water flowed down Steve's body, his right arm flashed with sparks, and blue electric light crackled. This was a power he had never experienced before.

At this time, behind Steve, a tall blond woman was leaning against the door. When Steve noticed someone behind him, he turned his head and found that the person had disappeared.

"Look, this way, this way you can get through. Your route...can't handle double hangings."

Lucina skillfully operated the truck to turn slowly and spoke while operating.

"Do you play this often?" Diana asked.

"No, I do more iron fisting." Lucina shook her head.

Chen Ke patted Diana on the shoulder and motioned for her to follow him.

Diana glanced at Lucina, who nodded, and then she and Chen Ke entered the Dream Center.

He took Diana to the circular square outside the apartment. The black dimensional entrance was still there. The green light pillar made no sound, but something could be observed flowing in the light pillar.

"So, this is the function of the green holy diamond?" Diana asked.

"I don't know. I originally thought they were a unique piece of equipment, or could bring some new abilities...but now it only leaves a door that cannot be entered." Chen Kedao.

"Maybe there's something wrong with what I did?" Diana asked.

"Probably not... I can't think of any other way to activate the sacred diamond, unless it needs to be used with rituals like the blasphemous dagger." Chen Kedao.

"Maybe that's it?" Diana hugged her chest and walked around behind the black entrance.

"I don't think it's possible. Asra had this green diamond before. If the witch knew how to use it, she should have used it long ago." Chen Ke said.

"Then you may have to collect all the green diamonds to enter this door." Diana went around from the other side to the front again.

"I thought so too, so we have to speed up. Do you still remember the scene you saw last time?" Chen Ke asked.

"How could I forget? How long has it been?" Diana smiled.

"I remember you said that the other holy diamond was in the hands of a white-haired woman." Chen Ke recalled.

"Yes, white hair, ponytail... and a tricorn hat on her head, with a folded edge and gray feathers on it." Diana said.

"What about her appearance? Clothes? The environment she was in? Did you see these?" Chen Ke asked.

"The environment was very dark, but there was moonlight shining in from the back. I don't know if the white hair was another color illuminated by the moonlight... She seemed to be wearing some very old clothes, the kind with a leather waistcoat." Diana said.

"It doesn't sound... like the era of the City of Opportunity." Chen Ke said.

"I think the woman should be sitting. She had bandages on her hands. I couldn't see her face clearly... I only saw the back of her face. I don't know what she looks like..." Diana said.

"Any other information?" Chen Ke asked.

"No, that's all I can see, and I was in a very bad state at the time... The image flashed by in just a few seconds. It's amazing that I can remember so much." Diana spread her hands.

"Oh... I wish I could see it again." Chen Ke shook his head.

"That holy diamond turned into that... I can't help it." Diana pointed to the green light column.

"I have bad news for you, Diana. Look, there are eleven columns in this circular plaza. There were originally twelve... Because of this holy diamond, one of them was broken. Do you know what this means?" Chen Ke said.

Diana put her hands on her waist and smiled helplessly.

"I guess I have to vomit eleven more times?"
