He looked down and saw that the metal of the ground was already red hot.
The surrounding air was distorted.
And oxygen, among other things, was being rapidly diluted.
The external structure of the Base had melted, and the formerly sealed Base was now in direct contact with the vacuum of the Universe outside.
And at this moment;
The walls of this freezing chamber also began to melt, with scorching high-temperature heatwaves sweeping everywhere!
The Winter Soldier watched all of this indifferently.
He heard screams coming from not far away.
He turned his head to look;
He saw that other test subjects, before even getting out of their freezing pods, began to suffer skin ulcerations from the heat, and then their entire bodies caught fire!
The Winter Soldier's physical enhancements were a tier higher than these other test subjects.
So, at this moment, he could still endure.
This HYDRA Base had been researching biological weapons, initially super soldier serum, then gamma rays, and even some Inhumans corpses.
They had them here too!
And the Winter Soldier, ever since Pierce's branch of HYDRA was destroyed, had been brought here and became their primary experimental subject.
These mad scientists injected various concoctions into the Winter Soldier's body.
Some made him stronger, but others caused him immense suffering!
Fortunately, the Winter Soldier was a brainwashed biological weapon with no independent thought; no matter how painful it was, at most he would just roll on the ground in agony, but he would never utter a single complaint.
Therefore;
After several experiments, the current Winter Soldier's physical strength is now even a tier higher than someone like Luke Cage.
In the last test, the Winter Soldier could lift over three hundred tons with his bare hands.
His body could withstand thousands of tons of pressure without showing signs of injury!
Furthermore;
He also possessed a certain degree of self-healing ability.
This was something even the HYDRA scientists who injected him with various drugs were unsure about.
It might be that substances extracted from the Inhumans played a role.
But what exactly was the principle behind it?
They also didn't know.
Originally;
They had also wanted to understand this principle by studying the Winter Soldier, and even replicate it in other test subjects.
Unfortunately!
Before they could achieve any results.
Rhodey, the God of Death, descended!
...
Two minutes later;
Rhodey watched with his own eyes as the HYDRA Base, engulfed in explosions and flames, plunged into the Sun.
Following that, a massive fireball erupted on the surface of the Sun.
He narrowed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
After confirming no one survived.
Rhodey then teleported away.
And on the other side;
The Winter Soldier, who had withstood the first wave of explosions, ultimately could not endure the super-high temperatures inside the Sun!
At over six thousand degrees Celsius, his body began to disintegrate.
And what was worse, he was constantly being pulled deeper into the Sun.
But the Winter Soldier didn't last long either.
Perhaps only three or four seconds.
He was burned to a pile of ashes!
Deader than dead.
Just as Rhodey had dealt with a HYDRA Base and successfully executed the completely brainwashed Winter Soldier.
Far away in another city on Blue Star.
Inside a hotel room.
Baron Zemo, who had just opened the door and entered the room, was instantly turned into a spray of blood by a bullet fired from an extreme distance, before he could even close the door!
Boom!
The entire room was blown to pieces.
Guests in other hotel rooms were terrified and ran out, screaming and scattering!
And on a tall tower ten thousand meters away.
A Mechanical Warrior also retracted the muzzle of the gun in its hand.
As it turned and left.
No one knew that a man who was supposed to incite the entire Avengers Civil War was so easily killed in a hotel room.
Even Baron Zemo himself, who was killed, did not realize any of this before he died.
Before his death, he was still contemplating his plan in his mind, meticulously refining it to ensure no loopholes.
Unfortunately!
His plan was destined to never be executed.
After all, he was dead.
He couldn't possibly turn into a vengeful spirit and overthrow the Avengers, could he?
The next day;
The day the Sokovia Accords were signed.
Natasha and Steve, as representatives of the Avengers, attended this globally watched conference.
The conference went smoothly.
No explosions!
No casualties!
But it could also be said that it was not smooth at all.
Because the Avengers did not agree to sign the Sokovia Accords.
With Steve as the representative, he articulated the significance of the Avengers' existence and some of the drawbacks of signing the Accords in the conference room.
So, during the process, countless people raised questions.
But Captain America seemed to have no intention of changing his mind.
The conference ended;
Globally, two different viewpoints also emerged.
One supported the Avengers continuing to maintain their independence, but this group was a minority, and mostly just spectators.
For example, Xuan Country!
Because the Avengers never carried out missions in Xuan Country, and Xuan Country also did not allow the Avengers to enter without permission.
It should be known;
Xuan Country is the second-ranked country in military power in the World.
Second only to the U.S.!
And;
This country likes to keep a trump card hidden.
You might think that's their trump card, but in reality, there are even more trump cards beneath that one!
Therefore;
