Beckett's Schemes Were Rattling Away

"No!!!"

Wanda's voice, which had been tightly restraining the Hulk, suddenly rose to a near-distorted pitch. The crimson mist instantly abandoned its restraint on the Hulk and instead slammed into Iron Man Tony Stark, who had just been showing off for three seconds.

Boom!!!

An overwhelming pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, instantly enveloped him. If J.A.R.V.I.S. hadn't warned him, Tony Stark felt he might have been smashed into mincemeat by this violent woman.

Click!

Click, click!

Click, click, click...

The towering trees with their lush branches and the well-arranged detached villas were all shattered by Scarlet Witch Wanda's furious attack in her haste!

Centered on Wanda, all buildings within a 50-meter radius were reduced to ruins without warning...

Even more surprisingly, the elite Chitauri soldier squad, who had been following the siblings' orders and hiding in the shadows, didn't die at the hands of the enemy. Instead, they were absorbed into the villa ruins by Wanda's indiscriminate energy attack...

Several small red flowers were stuck on the piles of corpse parts, seemingly as a sign of encouragement and reward...

The furious Hulk was stunned, and Tony Stark, who was holding Pepper Pepper and flying into the sky, was also stunned.

Pietro, lying on the ground, stopped struggling.

All eyes turned to Wanda, the woman in the ruins who clearly underestimated her own strength.

How could this be... my power...?

Wanda, who had never imagined that her strength could be so great, looked down at her fair hands, her eyes filled with the same shock as the others.

She had never unleashed such formidable power at Hydra's training base...

"Pietro ..."

"Pietro!"

"Are you alright? Can you still walk?!"

After the initial shock, Wanda remembered her brother who had collapsed to the ground.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

"It's just a little blood." Pietro, who was already used to getting injured at the Hydra Base, stood up with the help of his sister.

"Chitauri soldiers, are you Beckett's men?"

Tony Stark was still wondering what was going on with Wanda and her brother who had suddenly appeared at his door, but after seeing the Chitauri soldiers were mistakenly killed by Wanda because they couldn't dodge in time, he immediately understood their identities.

"Not yet, but it will be after I kill you."

Having wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, Pietro didn't dare to continue using Beckett's name to swindle and deceive people.

As he said, the goal of revenge is not yet accomplished.

"I don't recall ever offending Beckett in any way." Although reluctant to admit it, Tony Stark knew very well that during the Battle of New York, he was truly insignificant in Beckett's eyes.

"Of course, because it's us who want to kill you."

"Blood for blood, Tony Stark."

Tony Stark was even more puzzled by the angry expressions of Pietro and Wanda.

Boom!

The next second, Iron Man, who was floating in the air, was suddenly forced to the ground by a force!

If Tony Stark hadn't reacted quickly, Pepper Potts in his arms would probably have had his leg broken.

"Go to hell and repent, Tony Stark!" Wanda, her eyes bloodshot, waved her arms, only to be knocked away by the Hulk, who had suddenly joined the fray!

Wanda!

"Although I don't know the reason why you hate me, to be honest, it's not a big deal. After all, there are plenty of people in this world who hate me."

Stomping his slightly sore and numb feet, Tony Stark winced in pain, but he didn't forget to continue stimulating the extremely sensitive nerve in Pietro and Wanda's minds with his verbal sparring.

Hundreds of miniature missiles shot out directly from Tony Stark's Iron Man Armor, weaving a tight energy bombardment network under the azure sky!

"Danger!"

Driven by his protective instincts, Pietro felt as if the wind was blowing beneath his feet, and hundreds of missiles were all redirected by his explosive speed.

They all blasted towards Tony Stark and Hulk.

"Okay, I admit it, I do remember you two now." The incessant alarms from J.A.R.V.I.S. made Tony's expression extremely serious.

The heavy armored energy cannon, controlled by J.A.R.V.I.S., fired in an instant, detonating the missiles that were still flying in the air!

Boom!!!

The aftershocks of the explosion shocked the entire Washington, D. C. Hulk, wearing only his underwear, collapsed at the epicenter of the blast, while Tony Iron Man 'Stark helmet and visor were half gone.

His eyes were closed and his breathing was weak.

"Tony?"

"Tony!"

Pepper Potts, who was knocked to the ground by the blast wave, was trembling with fear. Tony's tightly closed eyes brought her too much unease.

"Hoo... Is he... dead...?"

The Scarlet Witch, having removed her energy shield, had sweat beading on her forehead and her lips were pale from exhaustion.

After all, she hasn't been awakening this ability for very long, and being able to do this much is already an extraordinary performance.

"I don't know, but just to be on the safe side..." Pietro, also panting, glared at Tony Stark lying on the ground with a fierce look in his eyes.

When you kill someone, you have to finish them off.

This is what he learned in HYDRA.

We must apply what we learn.

However, just as Pietro was about to finish off the enemy, a figure descended from the sky, stopping him in his tracks.

That's enough.

"You have passed the test."

With his hands behind his back and his feet dangling above the ground, Beckett's indifferent gaze caused Pietro and Wanda to hurriedly bow.

"You are... Beckett...?!" Pepper Pepper, who had struggled to her feet from the rubble and ran to Tony's side, stared in horror at the figure that had suddenly appeared before her.

The mysterious man who killed Norse King Odin, in the Battle of New York.

"Tony Stark is doomed."

Beckett slowly raised his right hand, and the energy beam gathered in his palm pierced through the clouds in an instant, directly penetrating the S.H.I.E.L.D. that was flying towards Washington's airspace!

Boom!

The explosion's flames instantly turned the skyline crimson!

"Because, now no one can save him anymore." Beckett stopped, his gaze sweeping over the people in the ruins, a contemptuous smile on his face.

The only remaining Hulk with fighting ability shrank back into Banner's body because of his appearance and refused to come out.

"Let's go, it's time to leave this place."

With a final glance out of the corner of his eye at the barely breathing Tony Stark, Beckett, his mind racing with calculations, vanished from the spot.

"Yes, Your His Highness Beckett."

Pietro and Wanda exchanged a glance after bowing respectfully, then looked at their enemy, who was basically waiting to die, before turning and leaving.

[Tony Stark is on the verge of death. Shouldn't you all start actively searching for the Soul Stone in Vormir that can "fight" me?]

Just to be on the safe side and to put "unmatched" pressure on them, Beckett also took the opportunity to blow up that agency's mothership.

Beckett returned to the spaceship with a smile on his face, which puzzled Hela, who had rushed from Asgard.

Is it just an illusion?

Why does this single-celled organism suddenly seem to be plotting something?

"Hela? What are you doing here?" Beckett saw Hela waiting for him in the spaceship.

"I already said, I have something to discuss with her—who is she?" Hela, who was about to have an open and honest conversation, spotted the woman that Woz had teleported back to her.

She automatically ignored the man.

Hela was quite certain that she had never seen this woman before today.

"Wanda, my subordinate." Beckett was puzzled.

Hela squinted, her gaze passing over Beckett and taking in Wanda, who was supporting Pietro.
