Xia Yu, Whom Quicksilver Couldn't Budge
Originally Strucker intended to leave first with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, but the two of them saw the Avengers, especially Tony Stark they had always regarded as an enemy.
Unable to resist, she went straight out. Scarlet Witch's current application of her power is still limited to invading other people's minds, so she ambushed the Avengers to enter. Meanwhile, Quicksilver rushed out of the castle to meet the Avengers.
The final line of defense was reinforced by a large influx of troops, further delaying the Avengers' advance.
Xia Yu, Thor Hulk, and a few others directly engaged in direct combat with tanks or bunkers, while Captain Natasha and the others continuously cleared out the small squads of soldiers.
Of course, the division of labor is not absolute. At this moment, Hawkeye was hiding behind a tree, drawing his bow and aiming at a bunker in the distance.
Hawkeye used a high-explosive arrow. After locking onto the target, Hawkeye released the bowstring and immediately retreated behind the tree.
"1, 2, 3," Hawkeye counted silently in his mind.
Hawkeye was extremely confident in his archery skills; he was certain of hitting the target with every shot.
But this time it was strange; after Hawkeye silently counted to three, he didn't hear an explosion.
He quickly peeked out and saw that the bunker was still firing fiercely.
That's not right. Even if it missed, it should have exploded somewhere else.
Hawkeye glanced at the bunker with a puzzled look, then drew another explosive arrow and fired it towards the bunker.
A figure, almost invisible to the naked eye, swiftly swept past, intercepting Hawkeye's arrow mid-flight.
Just as Hawkeye was feeling puzzled again, another fleeting shadow struck him, sending Hawkeye spinning in mid-air before crashing to the ground.
The blow wasn't very serious; Hawkeye wasn't injured, but he was very confused as to what had hit him. Then, Quicksilver suddenly appeared in front of Hawkeye and said Hawkeye, "Didn't you see me?"
After saying that, he flashed by again and disappeared without a trace.
Then came the Captain, who was also knocked to the ground by a fleeting figure. Although the Captain also fell to the ground, he managed to catch a glimpse of a figure passing by.
"There's a superhuman here, moving incredibly fast. We can't even see them clearly. Everyone be careful."
As the Captain reminded everyone through the earpiece, Quicksilver had already run to Xia Yu's side.
Just then, Xia Yu cleared out a few tanks and a small squad of soldiers on the ground, Quicksilver immediately ran over, intending to do the same to Xia Yu.
Although Quicksilver's power has been significantly reduced compared to his X-Men, his speed is still so fast that it's difficult to see clearly.
Xia Yu fared slightly better than the Captain. He saw a figure rushing towards him, arriving in front of him almost instantly, but Xia Yu still didn't have time to react.
There wasn't even a moment's hesitation in his reaction, because Xia Yu didn't sense any danger.
As expected, Xia Yu hadn't reacted yet.
"Bang!"
Quicksilver felt like he had crashed into a thick tire, which sent him flying.
He crashed into Xia Yu's True Qi. Fortunately, Quicksilver's impact wasn't too great, and his physical abilities were quite good. Otherwise, Xia Yu wouldn't have even felt it before he himself was injured.
Quicksilver was thrown several meters by Xia Yu and landed on the ground, asking Xia Yu incredulously, "How is this possible? Did I even touch you?"
Xia Yu looked at the Hero who died the fastest in Avengers history, pointed to himself, and said with a smile, "I have a layer of protective energy around my body, it's automatic."
"You are very strong. I will remember you. You may not be able to stop me in the future."
Although Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have completely stabilized, they are still unfamiliar with the energy within their bodies. They are becoming stronger and stronger, which is the source of Strucker's confidence in making a comeback.
Xia Yu originally intended to show his goodwill and chat with Quicksilver a bit more, but now he has planted a seed in his heart to encourage the twins to Avengers as soon as possible.
Quicksilver left after saying that polite remark.
This made Xia Yu a little embarrassed.
"We're almost done here, Tony. How's it going on your end? Still no luck?"
Xia Yu looked around and, finding no other targets, simply asked the question.
Tony had just found a weakness in the shield when he launched a small Missile, instantly destroying its core. A faint blue energy flashed around the castle before it vanished completely.
"I've got it all sorted out. I'm going in now. Anyone want to come with me?"
"I'll be right there, Tony. You go in first, don't let Strucker get away. Xia, you go and restore Hulk to normal." The Captain said in the headset and ran towards the castle.
Xia Yu ran to find Hulk, while Falcon was still patrolling in the air for any remaining enemies. T'Challa, Natasha, and the others were also slowly advancing on the ground. Hydra's personnel were too dangerous; it was best not to let any of them escape.
Inside the castle, the Captain was attacked by the Scarlet Witch's energy attack. When he got up and went back inside, the witch was gone. He then ran into Baron Strucker, who was trying to escape.
Without wasting words, the Captain knocked out Strucker. Before killing him, he needed to get some governments to conduct a joint trial on him.
"I've captured Strucker, but I've encountered a second superhuman, a woman. I don't know how hostile she is; it's best not to make a move when we meet."
Just as the Captain finished speaking, Tony's voice came through the earpiece.
"There are still some people on Strucker's side deleting data, but I've injured them all and rendered them incapacitated. I've discovered a secret room here; hopefully the Scepter is inside."
Tony took out a hard drive, copied the few remaining resources from the computer, and instructed JARVIS to send a copy directly to the base for backup. Then, Tony went to a secret room underground.
There was no one in the secret chamber, only a huge number of Chitauri weapons, and even a complete Leviathan dragon-shaped transport ship. In the center of the chamber was the Mind Stone Scepter.
"Just how much good stuff did these guys get?" Tony muttered as he walked towards the Mind Stone Scepter.
Tony, completely absorbed in the Mind Stone Scepter, didn't notice that Scarlet Witch was quietly appearing behind him.
His hands shone with a red energy light.
The Scarlet Witch drew closer, but Tony still didn't notice someone behind him until she suddenly raised her hands and placed them on either side of Tony's temples, the red energy in her palms invading Tony temples.
Tony's eyes suddenly froze; his mind had been invaded by the Scarlet Witch.
