Following everyone's usual habit, whoever the question was about would be the one to answer it.This question, without a doubt, landed squarely on Captain America.
"I choose A—living out my life alone!"
Captain America didn't waste any words. He looked straight at the big screen and gave his answer immediately.
[Incorrect Answer!][Respondent Steve Rogers will receive the penalty: removal of counter-tracking skills. Executing now!]
Whoosh!
Captain America temporarily lost his counter-tracking ability.
He didn't really take the punishment to heart. After all, it was just a skill—something he could relearn with time.
Glancing at the others, he said calmly, "Everyone, the answer isn't A. We misjudged."
To be honest, even though the answer was wrong, no one was particularly surprised.
This question relied almost entirely on speculation and analysis, with very few concrete clues to support it. Its "reliability," from the start, was questionable.
"Since it's not A, then it can only be B," T'Challa said after a brief moment of thought. "Captain America dies during a mission."
Previously, everyone had judged that the probability of Captain America dying on a mission was low—based purely on strength.
But that was still a blunt, simplistic judgment.
In reality, even someone like Captain America could be killed during a mission. It wasn't impossible.
Option A—living alone to old age—and Option B—dying on a mission—were essentially complementary.
If he didn't die on a mission, he'd grow old alone.But if he did die on a mission…
Well, there was nothing more to say.
Now that A had been proven wrong, it felt only natural that the answer would be B.
After a brief discussion, T'Challa decided to answer this question himself. The "Hundred-Shattering Kick" reward sounded like a combat skill—and that caught his interest.
"I choose B—dying during a mission," T'Challa said to the big screen.
[Incorrect Answer!]
Once again—wrong.
[Respondent T'Challa will receive the penalty: removal of one year of lifespan. Executing now!]
Whoosh!
Just like that, one year of T'Challa's life was gone.
"The answer isn't B either," T'Challa said calmly, showing no visible reaction to losing a year of his lifespan.
"If it's neither A nor B, then it can only be C or D," Peter Parker said, glancing at the remaining options. "Which one do we pick?"
Those two options had been the first ones everyone eliminated.
"I think Mr. Thor is right—Captain deserves a better ending!" Peter added, offering his opinion.
"Smart kid!" Thor laughed, clearly pleased. "I don't believe Rogers would freeze himself again."
Not just Thor—everyone present either didn't believe, or simply refused to believe, that Captain America would choose self-freezing.
That was Captain America.
America's spiritual symbol.A national role model.
The room fell into a brief silence.
On one hand, no one believed Captain America would stay in the past, ignoring the chaos it might cause, just to fill an emotional void—especially through what felt like self-deception.
On the other hand, no one believed he would choose to freeze himself again either. That just wasn't who Captain America was.
And frankly, no one wanted to believe it.
Both options felt unreliable.
"I don't think the Captain would ever choose self-freezing," Scott Lang finally spoke after a long pause."After the Battle of Endgame, Stark is gone. By then, no one might remind the Captain about the risks. So if I had to choose between these two… I'd go with C. Let me answer."
Scott Lang volunteering raised no objections.
He looked at the big screen and said clearly,"I choose C—spending a lifetime with Peggy Carter."
[Correct Answer!]
The system's prompt rang out immediately.
Captain America let out a quiet breath of relief—and felt a touch of surprise.
He hadn't expected the answer to really be C.
His future… truly was a lifetime with Peggy.
[Congratulations to respondent Scott Lang for obtaining the reward skill: Hundred-Shattering Kick!]
The system's voice sounded again, forcibly "uploading" the skill into Scott Lang.
"See? I told you!" Thor laughed loudly."Rogers was always going to get a perfect ending! A lifetime with Carter—excellent. Truly excellent!"
"Yes! That's amazing!" Peter Parker said sincerely, genuinely happy for Captain America.
"First of all, Captain—congratulations on such a perfect ending. I'm truly happy for you," Scott Lang said quickly."Second, Thor—that was my line, okay? And lastly, congratulations to me for getting the Hundred-Shattering Kick!"
"Hundred-Shattering Kick?" Peter asked excitedly. "Mr. Scott, what kind of skill is that? It sounds awesome!"
From the name alone, it clearly sounded like some kind of leg-based combat technique.
"'Hundred-Shattering'—as in splitting into a hundred?" T'Challa guessed."So it's a high-speed kicking technique? So fast it looks like a hundred legs?"
"That's exactly right," Scott Lang nodded.
Swish—swish—swish—swish!
He planted his left foot, lifted his right leg, and unleashed a rapid series of kicks forward.
The speed was absurd.
So fast that afterimages appeared—his leg splitting into countless phantoms!
You couldn't even see the actual trajectory.
Pure exaggeration.
"Wow! That's insane—so cool!" Peter shouted excitedly, then froze."Wait—if it's that fast, why can I still see it?"
"It really does look like a hundred legs," Tony Stark said with mild admiration.
"On Earth, I doubt anyone could block that combo," Thor commented approvingly.
The speed alone exceeded normal human reaction limits.
[Quiz completed. Beginning answer explanation playback!]
Soon after the system's prompt, a corresponding video appeared on the big screen.
"Remember!"
The first voice heard was Dr. Banner's.
The scene showed a forest clearing filled with strange, high-tech equipment.
Dr. Banner, Captain America, and Sam Wilson stood around it as Banner spoke seriously to Captain America.
Or rather—
This wasn't Dr. Banner anymore.
It was the Hulk.
A fully green, massive figure—yet completely rational.
"You need to return the stones to the exact moment they were taken," Hulk said solemnly."Otherwise, you'll create a bunch of nasty branching timelines."
The footage revealed what happened after the Battle of Endgame:Captain America was tasked with returning the six Infinity Stones to the past.
Hulk's words confirmed what Tony Stark had said earlier.
Interfere with time—and time interferes back.
Taking the stones without returning them creates parallel timelines.
Then what about staying in the past?
The answer was obvious.
It would cause chaos in reality.
Tony Stark hadn't been exaggerating.
"Don't worry, Bruce," Captain America said calmly, closing the case containing the stones."I'll clip all the branches."
"I tried," Hulk said quietly."When I had the gauntlet and the stones… I really tried to bring her back. I miss her."
The "her" was obvious.
Natasha Romanoff.
"I do too," Captain America nodded heavily.
"If you want, I can go with you," Sam Wilson stepped forward.
"You're a good man, Sam," Captain America smiled."But this time, I'm going alone."
He then turned to Bucky."Don't do anything stupid. Wait for me."
"How could I?" Bucky replied. "You took all the stupid with you."
After saying goodbye, Captain America stepped onto the mysterious platform.
"How long is he gonna be gone?" Sam asked Hulk.
"As long as he wants," Hulk replied while operating the controls."For us—it'll be five seconds."
At this point, there was no longer any doubt.
Captain America returned the stones—and never came back.
He stayed in the past and lived out his life with Peggy Carter.
As for the chaos that might have followed?
Perhaps, just as Scott Lang said, Tony Stark's death meant no one reminded him anymore.
Since everyone now knew what Captain America chose, no one pressed the issue further.
"Ready, Cap?" Hulk asked.
"No problem," Captain America replied casually. His helmet automatically sealed over his head.
"Activating quantum tunnel!"
"Three… two… one!"
A flash of light.
Captain America vanished.
"Return countdown—five… four… three… two… one!"
Snap!
Hulk initiated the return.
But something went wrong.
Captain America didn't come back.
Everyone present sensed it instantly.
"Where is he?" Sam asked anxiously.
"I don't know—he missed his timestamp," Hulk said while checking the equipment."He was supposed to be back."
"Bring him back!"
"I'm trying!"
"Then hurry up!"
"I said I'm trying!"
As Sam grew increasingly agitated, Bucky noticed something.
"Sam."
He pointed toward a nearby bench.
Someone was sitting there.
A hunched silhouette.
An old man.
Bucky and Sam instantly understood.
"Go," Bucky urged softly.
Sam walked over and asked hesitantly,"Captain?"
"Hey, Sam," the old man replied, turning his head.
His face was revealed.
White hair.Deep wrinkles.
An aged, elderly Captain America.
"T-That's the Captain?! My God! He's that old? I can't believe it!"Peter Parker clutched his mouth, screaming in shock.
One second—slick hair, heroic and handsome.
The next—an unsteady old grandpa.
Emotional whiplash.
Not just Peter—everyone was shaken.
"Did something go wrong… or did everything go right?" Sam asked, staring intently.
"I returned the stones," Captain America said gently."And then I thought… maybe I'd try the life Tony always told me to live."
"And?"
"It was… beautiful," he said, smiling with pure happiness.
The screen shifted to another scene.
