Bleecker Street.
The golden portal seemed to cut through space, and Samuel emerged from it.
Winter Soldier Bucky and the others, who had been somewhat dejected, instantly brightened and hurried to greet him.
"Are you alright?" Everyone asked, concerned, in a flurry of voices.
Kurt was dead, Okoye was dead, Vision had betrayed humanity in the name of love, capturing Black Panther to feed Zombie Wanda—
A series of events caused the Survivor Squad's spirits to fluctuate wildly, mostly downwards.
It wasn't without good news; at least they had brought back a survivor, or rather, a survivor's head.
Unfortunately, Head Lang couldn't save this World.
What could save this World was Vision, or rather, the Mind Stone on Vision's head.
To get the Mind Stone, they had to defeat, or even kill, Vision.
But Vision himself was in the upper tier of the Avengers' hard power rankings.
Moreover, there was an even more terrifying Zombie Wanda.
The Survivor Squad, with Winter Soldier Bucky, Wasp, Spider-Man, Sharon Carter, Happy, and Head Lang—how could this lineup fight?
Two kings on the enemy side, a group of bronze players on their own.
The hope of success was almost nil, approximately zero!
Samuel, with his mysterious identity and powerful methods, was their only hope, and the only hope for this World.
"Do I look like something's wrong? Get me something to eat, I'm a bit hungry!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found him food.
"You, you all, come look!"
Happy cautiously waved them over, and they then realized that the portal Samuel had returned through hadn't completely disappeared.
Instead, it had become a miniature portal the size of a fist.
Everyone gathered and looked to the other side, involuntarily sucking in a cold breath.
Caspian Sea Camp.
It was now a scene of ruins and devastation.
A large area of zombies outside the camp had been uniformly killed.
In the air, Zombie Wanda, glowing even more intensely red, roared furiously, letting out an ear-splitting shriek.
Vision floated in mid-air, a hint of regret in his eyes, urging the Mind Stone to try and calm Zombie Wanda down.
Vision noticed the survivors' gaze, and he slowly floated over. Everyone backed away, each on guard.
Although Vision couldn't cross over, he could fire rays.
Vision's gaze swept over everyone, lingered deeply on Samuel, who was eating heartily, and finally rested on Bruce Banner.
"Dr., I think you were right. I—I should apologize and atone for what I've done."
"But I can't bear to leave her."
"I can give you the Stone, but I have one condition."
"Wh-what condition?" Bruce Banner asked.
Vision looked at Samuel again: "You are very powerful. I feel the same power in you as in Wanda."
"Use the power of the Stone to heal her!"
With that, Vision reached for his forehead, preparing to remove the Mind Stone.
"Vision, you—" Bruce Banner understood Vision's meaning; he was exchanging his life for Wanda's.
His love was selfish and blind!
Bruce Banner slowly extended his hand, preparing to receive the Stone Vision was about to remove.
Vision looked at Bruce Banner's approaching hand, a farewell smile on his face.
"Whoosh!"
The portal disappeared!
Bruce Banner's hand reached into empty air.
On the other side, Vision smiled for naught, and the hand he had prepared to pluck out the Stone suddenly froze.
"What happened?" Everyone subconsciously looked at Samuel, and Bruce Banner also had a puzzled expression.
Samuel held the iron can of preserved food in one hand, while the fingers of his other hand instantly turned into brilliant diamonds, lightly slicing towards the can.
The iron lid of the can was directly sliced open.
Everyone was stunned by his method of opening the can, especially Sharon Carter, who stared at Samuel's can opener with her mouth wide open.
Diamond Form fingers!
Fingers like these are absolutely endlessly useful!
Cancelling the Diamond Form, Samuel withdrew his normal fingers and said indifferently while eating the preserved food.
"He says atonement is atonement? He says if I have the ability to save Wanda, I have to save her?"
"Who does he think he is!"
Samuel didn't have any particular good feelings towards Vision.
Or rather, he didn't have any particular good feelings towards Vision and Wanda getting together.
One is a robot with abnormal logic, capturing living people to feed zombies!
The other is mentally unstable. In the movie, she forcibly resurrected Vision and controlled a town to play house. In the comics, she almost wiped out the Mutants.
Love can indeed make people crazy, and it's the same for non-humans!
"But, we need the Mind Stone!" Bruce Banner said with difficulty.
Samuel shrugged: "Don't count on others to bestow or give it to you. If you want something, just snatch it!"
"When I've had enough fighting, I'll kill him. I don't need him to give it to me, I don't need to agree to any conditions, the stone will still be mine!"
If your enemy says let him go, and all the remaining money will be yours.
Will you let him go?
Foolish!
Kill him, and it's all yours anyway, why bother taking what he gives!
"Swish—"
A golden portal lit up again at the Caspian Sea Camp.
Samuel, having eaten and drunk his fill, walked out, glanced at the Vision with a complex expression, and directly blasted a beam over.
"Bang!"
Vision flew out, staggering to stand steady.
"Ding!"
...
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Control Body Density (Vision)"
Samuel looked up at the Zombie Wanda already flying towards him, chuckled, rose into the air, and directly rushed over.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Modify Probability (Scarlet Witch)"
"Bang!"
Fists flew.
"Zizzizizi!"
Beams burned.
"Bang!"
Energy Projection.
Samuel and Zombie Wanda exchanged blows in the air, the fight was very intense.
The zombies below were unlucky, completely caught in the crossfire.
The aftermath of the two's battle basically resulted in swathes of deaths. Except for Vision, the Zombie Black Panther who had originally survived by chance was annihilated by the Chaos Energy Samuel dodged, turning into ashes.
Before dying, he still contributed his remaining heat.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Heart-Shaped Herb"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Chaos Magic (Scarlet Witch)"
High in the clouds, Samuel's expression froze slightly.
Chaos Magic is the core energy of Chaos Magic. In other words, Black Panther's death caused Zombie Wanda, who hadn't intended to kill him but did, to drop the ability Samuel wanted most.
Second was the Modify Probability that dropped when he just fought Zombie Wanda.
Chaos Magic needs no explanation; Zombie Wanda's performance is enough to show its power.
It is also one of Marvel's three great forces.
The other two forces are the widely known Phoenix Force and the Fairy Force, which is rarely known!
