The Cosmic Cube

Inside the Hydra Aircraft Carrier, screens covering an entire wall were displaying footage of Ben crew.

Steve Rogers walked over slowly and asked the people keeping watch, "Are those people acting strangely?"

"Reporting to the director, nothing unusual. They strolled around the streets for a while and then stayed in a Slush Shop."

Of course, the Slush Shop was empty. Steve had put on a whole show; he was indeed relocating residents, but he didn't intend to evacuate them from Earth.

Hydra's forces were mixed in among them, serving as a cover.

"That's good. Rick Jones stole our secrets. We don't know who he passed the leads to, but in any case, we absolutely cannot let these people have any contact with the rebels," Steve said.

He felt very painful.

At this moment, the Hive and Doctor Faustus walked over and spoke as if questioning:

"Steve, we've said it before, it would have been better to execute those Super Hero. But you spared them, and now they're lurking in the corners of Las Vegas, constantly causing us trouble. That was your mistake."

"And that Rick Jones, if he refuses to submit to the great Hydra, he should be killed immediately as a warning to others!"

"I'll consider it..."

"I'm tired, "Steve said.

Although he is the leader of Hydra, the growing power of the Hydra Cabinet seems to be forcing him to make a choice.

"Now is not the time," he explained. "If those outsiders discover anything, it will be detrimental to our plans."

"Is it because of those outsiders, or because of your cowardice?" Doctor Faustus pressed.

"..."

Faust knew he couldn't rush things. Within the Hydra Cabinet, Baron Zemo and Madam Hydra were firmly standing behind Steve.

He stared coldly at the screen and ordered, "Keep an eye on them!"

I knew it wouldn't be that simple.

After listening to Miles ' explanation, T'Challa finally felt it made sense.

He personally destroyed so many Earths, and not one of them was willing to cooperate obediently.

This world ruled by Hydra is the most despicable of all, feigning agreement while secretly preparing a counterattack.

Does this mean there's going to be a fight?

Looma had been feeling down and not thinking much, but now she suddenly realized that she could stretch her muscles a little.

"Generally speaking, at this point, the Annihilation Bomb would be activated directly." T'Challa shook his head.

They don't have that much time in United States to slowly fight Hydra.

Besides, it's going to explode anyway, so it's better to just blow it up.

"No, you can't do this!" Miles jumped onto the ceiling in desperation. "This is murder! You'll cause the deaths of billions of people worldwide!"

"If we don't do it this way, even more people will die."

Viv shook her head and said, "Or you could choose to help us? As long as we deal with Hydra, we can do as you ask."

"There's not enough time," Ben said, looking at them. "Even if we agree to help you quell Hydra, there won't be enough time left for the relocation."

Miles and Vivi fell silent.

Ben offered another suggestion.

"I think it would be better if you did this: there should still be some survivors in your shelter. There's no hope for Earth anymore, so why don't you take them with you and leave?"

There may not be many people, but at least it's a way to survive.

"What?"

Miles immediately shook his head. "But what about the others? Besides the residents of Las Vegas, the residents of other places are just ordinary people; they are innocent. We can't abandon them!"

"There might not be enough time to transfer them."

Just then, a giant green figure crashed through the wall and rushed in, carrying a teenager in a yellow shirt in one hand, with Ms. Marvel on his left.

Behind him, the Hydra Mobile Unit robots were hot on his heels.

"Evacuate first!"

The people inside immediately sprang into action. Miles quickly put on his mask and jumped down from the ceiling. "Where's the vehicle Ironheart prepared? And Parker, you guys...?"

He suddenly realized that Ben and the others had disappeared, but his Spider-Sense told him that Ben was nearby.

"This way!"

On the street, a Black girl drove out in a blue car and waved vigorously at them.

"Wow, the Fantastic Four's Rust Bucket RV!" Amadeus Cho excitedly jumped into the car with the informant. "With this, even the Hydra Mobile Unit robots won't be able to catch us!"

Are you all seated?

"Set off!"

As soon as Amadeus Cho pressed the button, black smoke billowed from the car's exhaust pipe, the engine roared twice as if struggling, and then died completely.

???

"Ironheart, what are you up to?"

As the Hydra Mobile Unit approached, Amadeus Cho panicked.

"I don't know, it was fine just now, is it overloaded?" Ironheart frantically pressed the control panel; this so-called Inheritors of steel seemed a bit unreliable.

Ben, seeing her haphazardly trying to do it, got a bit of high blood pressure and simply pushed her aside, saying, "Let me do it."

Ironheart thought he was seeing a ghost, but the next moment he heard a voice say, "Upgrade!" Then, some kind of blackish-green substance spread out and covered the surface of the car.

In an instant, Mr. Fantastic's car was transformed and upgraded, its interior space expanded several times over, turning from a small sedan into a medium-sized truck, and its several huge exhaust ports became Rocket -like engines, spewing flames like shooting stars.

Wow!

Boom!!!

The Hydra robots that were close to the car had half their bodies blown off by the car's exhaust fumes, leaving the group of naive teenagers speechless with astonishment.

Dude, is that an exhaust vent?

In the blink of an eye, Washington was thousands of miles away.

At this moment Looma and the others deactivated their stealth mode. When [Steve] appeared, Ironheart was so startled that he almost Repulsor Ray him.

"What the hell? You guys destroyed Hydra's headquarters?"

"We don't have that capability. It's a long story. Let's go back to base first," Amadeus Cho said, shaking his head. "Brother, our base is in Las Vegas. Need directions?"

"Need not."

The Upgrade's head popped out from the car's dashboard, its eyes flashed, and it said, "We'll be there in three minutes."

Three minutes later.

Inside the underground base in Las Vegas.

Black Widow, Hawkeye, and others, each armed, surrounded Ben and his group, or more precisely, [Steve].

"Wait, Natasha, this isn't the Steve we know!"

"Of course I know, otherwise I would have shot already."

Natasha and Hawkeye lowered their weapons. Hawkeye looked at the wrecked car that had been freed from the Upgrade and said, "Are these the people Otto Parker asked you to find?"

"Only I am." Ben deactivated his transformation and walked over, looking at his two familiar yet unfamiliar old friends, and said, "Originally, I didn't intend to get involved in your world's civil war, but those Hydra just wouldn't change their ways."

"Steve Rogers thinks he's smart, and what I love most is saying no to arrogant people."

Thank you for your help.

Natasha said calmly, looking somewhat numb, as if she didn't have much hope for Ben others' appearance.

At this moment, Amadeus Cho approached with the informant he had practically "kidnapped" him. "Let's take a look at the information Rick Jones gave us first."

He opened his palm, revealing a USB flash drive.

Just as Hawkeye was about to have them take the item to Tony Stark, Ben had already taken the USB drive and plugged it into his left wrist.

The Nano Battle Suit conjured a reader and began deciphering the contents of the USB drive.

Hawkeye gave him a strange look, feeling that this guy didn't seem to understand the concept of distance.

He doesn't fully trust Ben others yet.

Rick Jones's face appeared on the screen; Ben didn't recognize him, but Natasha and Hawkeye clearly knew him well.

The group fell silent, watching as Rick Jones infiltrated Hydra to obtain their secret information, including the contents of that top-secret document—how Hydra used the Cosmic Cube to turn Steve Rogers into Captain Hydra.

"Now we finally know why Steve works for Hydra." Hawkeye clenched his fist.

Behind Ben, the Highbreed [Steve] also clenched his fists, his body trembling. "That's..."

"The Cosmic Cube!"
