Chapter 307 Desperate Red Skull (1/2)

"Why, why, why, why, why..."

"Why can't I kill him? Why can't I kill Colin Luper!"

Berlin, in the Führerbunker.

Once again erasing the timeline and returning to the origin, the expression on the Red Skull's face became more desperate instead of being happy.

Through the ability to erase time, he repeatedly went back in time to guide the battle in a direction that was favorable to him, but all these efforts were completely wiped out after meeting Colin.

In the previous timeline, he set traps more than once in an attempt to completely annihilate the opponent.

However, the almost invincible power made all of the Red Skull's methods seem meaningless.

Whether it was a soldier equipped with more deadly weapons, or the latest Ultron 4 robot developed by Hydra Technology, or even the incomplete version of the Green Man, which was only in the research stage, they could not stop the opponent's progress.

The high-temperature beams emitted from the opponent's eyes were like the scythe of the god of death, constantly harvesting the lives of soldiers on the battlefield.

Any defense is extremely fragile in the face of absolute power.

Among the countless erased timelines, the closest victory was when the Red Skull launched a saturation nuclear strike before the Avengers' aerospace carrier arrived in Berlin, directly destroying the target carrier.

This was also the closest time for the Red Skull to victory. The terrifying nuclear power directly killed everyone on the Maria, except Colin Luper.

Even though the time has been turned back, the Red Skull still clearly remembers the scene of the other party's figure flying out of the center of the nuclear explosion.

It was precisely because of that scene that the Red Skull is now desperate.

"We're already here, Berlin."

In the sky carrier, with Natasha's voice, Colin subconsciously looked at the dark Doctor Strange on the side.

"Be careful!"

As expected, the latter showed strange emotions. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something, and then he spoke in a low voice to remind everyone on the carrier.

"What are you careful about?"

Faced with the reminder from the Dark Doctor, Thor subconsciously stopped his steps towards the entrance of the passage and turned his head to ask.

"I don't know..."

Shaking his head, the expression on the face of the Dark Doctor showed a rare look of confusion.

For some reason, he had some inexplicable trust in the whispers in his ears, but he was also a little puzzled about the danger mentioned in the voice.

He didn't know where the danger existed, but he instinctively felt that it existed.

"Interesting."

Watching the reaction of the Dark Doctor, Colin was almost sure.

Although the other party could not retain the memory of the erased time like him or the Red Skull because of the fragments of the Time Gem, it seemed that there was also a special place that allowed him to vaguely perceive the problems of the world in front of him.

Unfortunately, the expression of this ability was too obscure, and even the Dark Doctor himself could not perceive the truth of the world's constant reversal.

Sensing the weirdness in the tone of the Dark Doctor, Thor and the Avengers on the mothership looked at each other.

Although he didn't know why the other party was confused, Thor was still subconsciously alert. He clenched the Storm Axe in his hand and summoned Thunder to appear above the fortress.

As Thor moved, other Avengers on the mothership also joined in.

...

"So, what exactly is the danger that Strange is talking about?"

Ignoring the bullets that were coming at him like a storm, Thor waved the Storm Axe in his hand and instantly blasted the soldiers in front of the outpost away. Thor then set his eyes on the entrance of the bunker.

"You can't be talking about these guys."

The reminder from Dark Doctor Strange before the action made Thor subconsciously think that the battle would be more intense, but the current battle was far from making him nervous.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--

Suppressing his doubts, Thor waved the axe in his hand and raised a gust of wind. In the next second, he passed the defense line formed by the German soldiers and landed heavily in front of the bunker.

Not to mention Thor, even Dark Doctor Strange himself, who made the reminder, was confused about what was happening in front of him.

"According to the infrared scan, there is a reinforced steel reinforcement layer on the wall on the left side of the passage, and there is also airflow..."

After destroying the particle barrier and entering the bunker, Tony, who was standing in front of the secret passage, was also confused. Everything seemed to be a little too smooth.

"Friday, activate the alert mode."

Fearing that there was danger in the secret passage, Tony frowned and gave an order.

"Yes, sir."

Accompanied by his order, two suspended gun muzzles immediately transformed from the shoulders of the nano battle suit on both ends of his body and surrounded him.

With the protection of the suspended gun muzzle, Tony's original uneasiness was reduced a little. He took a deep breath and stepped into the secret passage.

...

Appearing on the battlefield, Colin looked at the soldiers around him, and there was also a lot of doubt in his eyes.

Accustomed to the Red Skull trying various means to attack him every time he went back, Colin suddenly became a little uncomfortable when he encountered such a "harmless" situation in front of him.

As for those behind the scenes, there was a nuclear attack in the previous timeline. He was originally expecting that there would be some amazing means waiting for him this time, but why didn't any attack means appear at the moment?

With some doubts in his heart, Colin turned to look at the bunker in the distance, and found the location of the Red Skull with ease.

Inside the bunker, the figure of the Red Skull stood quietly at the end of the secret passage. This scene was almost exactly the same as the one he first saw.

What kind of trick is this?

Seeing this scene, Colin frowned subconsciously on the battlefield. The Red Skull's actions at this time made him more elusive than ever before.

"Are you looking for me?"

While Colin was wondering about the other party's purpose, Tony in the secret passage once again discovered the bloody skull face at the end of the corridor.

"Tony Stark, Iron Man."

Looking at the bloody head of the Red Skull in front of him, Tony's expression under his helmet changed slightly, and at the same time, the muzzles floating around him were immediately aimed at the opponent.

"You seem to be familiar with me?"

However, under the nano-cannon muzzle transformed by the nano-suit, the expression on the Red Skull's face was very calm and even numb.

"Of course, it's not just you, I'm very familiar with all of you, including the mothership that appeared over the fortress, the Maria.

"

Hearing the Red Skull reveal the existence of the Helicopter so easily, the expression on Tony's face under the nano-helmet instantly became solemn.

Theoretically speaking, this operation of the Avengers and the Resistance is absolutely confidential. It is impossible for the Red Skull to know their existence so easily, and Tony can clearly feel from the other party's expression that he is not lying. , the other party is indeed very familiar with their actions as said.

"So, you are here waiting for us to surrender?"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the shock in his heart, Tony secretly informed everyone outside the fortress of what happened in the secret passage through the communication device inside the nanosuit, while trying to continue talking to the other party to obtain important information.

"Throw yourself into a trap, no..."

In the secret passage, facing Tony's questioning, the Red Skull shook his head slightly and directly denied this statement.

Then under Tony's gaze, the Red Skull raised his palm and let go, revealing the gem fragments in his palm that were constantly emitting a faint green light.

"I give up, you win."

Looking at the Time Stone fragment in Red Skull's hand, the expression on Tony's face in the nano-suit was not only not excited at all, but also became more and more confused.

Carefully, he stood back and kept a relatively safe distance from the Red Skull in front of him. At the same time, he raised his arm and pointed the muzzle at him and said, "We won. I don't think we defeated you because of what we did."

No wonder Tony was so careful, the mere surrender of the Red Skull was too outlandish.

He didn't even put up any decent resistance.

"No, it's not what you did, but I can't find any way to defeat you. Can you imagine the despair of exhausting everything but being unable to hurt the opponent at all? The fear of being powerless and deep in the bones, in Under this powerlessness, every time is a kind of torture for me, just like hell, there is no mistake, this is hell, a hell that can never end, has no end..."

Tony's question clearly touched the emotions deep inside the Red Skull. He turned his bloody head to look at the other person and said in a hoarse and twisted tone.

Looking at the obviously abnormal Red Skull in front of him, Tony in the nano suit frowned deeply.

What happened before him far exceeded his expectations.

If possible, he would rather encounter a battle than the scene in front of him.

"You're crazy."

Feeling the Red Skull's increasingly excited and crazy emotions, Tony couldn't help but blurt out.

"I'd rather go crazy so I don't have to face all this..."

Faced with Tony's words, the Red Skull opened his mouth and let out a deep laugh, his bloody face becoming more ferocious due to the change in emotion.

"I'm fed up with all this, the endless fighting, without any hope. Rather than lingering in the cycle of time like this, it's better to give up."

Looking down at the fragment of the Time Stone in his hand, Red Skull's eyes flashed with greed and reluctance, but it was quickly replaced by fear.

Now, the ability of this time stone fragment to erase time is not a blessing to him but more like a curse, a curse that makes him suffer endless stones.

"I gave up, I threw in the towel, and it's yours now, Colin Looper..."

Holding the time stone fragment in his hand, the Red Skull did not explain anything to Tony in front of him, but directly shouted in the bunker.

"I know you heard what I said, Colin Looper."

"Okay, I did hear that."

In the secret passage of the bunker, as the Red Skull shouted again, Colin's figure quietly appeared in it.

Looking at the almost crazy Red Skull in front of him, the expression on his face was also speechless.

He really didn't expect that as the initiator of everything that created this anti-world, the theoretical final boss Red Skull would be so fragile in terms of psychological endurance, and he would admit defeat after just a few fights.

Of course, this is from Colin's perspective, thinking that the Red Skull is too vulnerable to fighting.

But from the Red Skull's perspective, facing an opponent who can't be defeated no matter what, but becomes more and more desperate, mental breakdown is a matter of time.

The time erasing ability given by the fragments of the Time Gem certainly helps the Red Skull to have an almost undefeated position in the battle. But the premise is that the final victory falls into his hands, but Colin's existence makes the Red Skull see no possibility of victory at all, not even a slight chance.

In this way, the ability to erase time has formed a disguised cage, constantly forcing the Red Skull to repeat this hopeless battle forever.

In this process, the Red Skull did not try, not only nuclear weapons, but he even took the initiative to inject the green man transformation serum that had not been fully tested in one of the time loops, and even luckily survived the gamma ray radiation in the serum, and gained a powerful force that is not inferior to the Hulk.

But even so, he still couldn't defeat Colin. Even in the mutated state, the Red Skull could feel the power gap between himself and the opponent more clearly. It was not shortened by the injection of serum, but became clearer.

It was under these time cycles that the Red Skull completely gave up struggling and the intention to use the power of the Time Gem Fragment.

Even if he used it, it would only be another experience of despair.

Looking at the Red Skull in front of him, who was desperate but also a little relieved, Colin's expression was a little confused, but his hands did not hesitate at all.

Reaching out to touch the Time Gem Fragment in the Red Skull's hand, a dazzling green light burst out in front of him in the next second.

[Contact the special distorted time node and collect a large number of time fragments x2000]

[Time Gem Fragment (2/9)]

Immediately afterwards, the Time Gem Fragment in front of him disappeared, and the number behind the words [Time Gem Fragment (1/9)] on Colin's text also changed accordingly.

"So you also have it..."

Looking at the time gem fragment that suddenly disappeared in Colin's hand, the Red Skull's eyes became a little stunned. He opened his mouth to say something, but the next moment it seemed as if countless accumulated time burst out from him, and in the blink of an eye he turned from a living being into a skeleton and finally dissipated in the secret passage.

Obviously, there is a price to pay for using the power of time so frequently.
