Courage and Blood, Lion's Sons!

The moment the Teleportation Beacon was lit, Laufey flew into a rage, realizing he had been tricked.

"You lowly mortal, how dare you deceive me?!"

Enraged, Laufey hastily retreated, simultaneously manipulating the Frost Shard in an attempt to completely seal off the layer of ice.

Freeze.

However, Steve, who was already prepared, was not about to let him have his way. He suddenly swung out his Vibranium shield:

Don't even think about it!

Whoosh!

Captain America's fame and the skills he honed through countless trials were on full display at this moment!

The Vibranium shield, like a streak of light, struck Laufey's right hand precisely, knocking away the deep blue treasure box encased in metal!

The Frost Shard traced a perfect arc in the air before landing precisely in a corner not far from Natasha.

At this moment, all eyes were on that deep blue object, containing enough power to freeze an entire planet.

Above the Frost Giants's artifact!

Not good!

One wrong step can lead to eternal regret; this perfectly describes Laufey.

His original intention was to follow Thanos's orders to recruit Captain America, but he never expected that this guy would not only be unyielding, but also take the opportunity to knock Frost Shard away!

This was the Frost Giants' greatest asset. Once they lost the Frost Shard, it would mean that they would completely lose their most powerful weapon to deter humanity!

Without hesitation, Laufey abandoned Steve, the biggest threat, determined to reclaim the artifact before the Frost Shard fell into someone else's hands!

However, Natasha was no pushover. Her exceptional skills as a special agent allowed her to assess the situation in an instant and, almost instinctively, choose the most advantageous option!

Save Barton, or steal the artifact?

Without a doubt, Barton's life was at stake when faced with a choice that could determine the course of the entire war and the future of humanity.

There is no comparison whatsoever.

"I'm sorry, Barton."

Natasha silently apologized to her close friend and then chose the Frost Shard.

She flipped over and pounced, snatching the Frost Shard before Laufey could reach it. Clutching it tightly to her chest, she rolled several times, dodging Laufey's furious attack!

Boom!

The ground was shattered by a single punch.

However, the Frost Shard had already been stolen by Natasha. Laufey's forehead veins bulged, his rage reaching its peak. "Damn humans, give back my race's artifact!"

He was about to give chase, but he didn't notice that Steve had already caught up!

"Stop it!"

Captain America's right arm muscles bulged, his foot stomped forward, and his arms, like a full moon drawing a bow, slammed a punch into Laufey's inside knee!

With a powerful punch, even Laufey was forced to his knees, his knees buckling as he knelt on the ground. Steve then leaped up, his arms like iron clamps, gripping Laufey's neck!

Even Frost Giants need to breathe air, let alone with their necks constricted and the immense force pressing on their throats, Laufey instantly experienced dizziness.

"Hurry up and go!!!"

Steve's forehead and arms bulged with thick veins, his face flushed red. He roared in Natasha's direction, "Protect the Frost Shard! Even if it kills us, we can't hand it over to the Frost Giants!—Go!"

The greatness of humankind lies in the noble attitude it displays when faced with dire circumstances!

Looking into Steve's resolute gaze, Natasha understood his meaning: he was risking his life to fight for her!

Protecting the Frost Shard is her mission!

Natasha was very clear about her mission. From the moment she joined the commando team, all they had to do was to accumulate even the slightest chance of victory, no matter the cost!

Clutching the Frost Shard, she turned without hesitation and leaped directly off the twenty-plus stories of Stark Tower.

Only in this way can we delay as much as possible the time it takes for the Frost Shard to be taken away!

No-!!!"

Laufey's eyes were about to burst.

He never imagined that his momentary carelessness would allow the Frost Giants's artifact to be stolen by a mere few humans!

Enraged, Laufey tightened his grip on Steve, his arms around his neck tightening suddenly. "Aaaaah!"

La!

Blood splattered everywhere as Steve's arms were ripped off, exposing the white bones!

Despite his iron will, the excruciating pain nearly made Steve faint. His eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were almost ground to dust.

Laufey, now free, was about to chase after Natasha when he felt a sharp pain in his heel. He turned around and looked down, his pupils immediately contracting.

It turned out that Steve, whose arms had been torn off, was still haunting him, and had even bitten his heel with his teeth to prevent him from chasing Natasha.

"Let go of me!!!"

Laufey was furious. He had been thwarted by a human time and time again, and had completely forgotten Thanos's instructions. All he wanted to do was kill this annoying guy!

He kicked Steve on the head, but the latter still held on tightly, even though his face was covered in blood and gore. The bloodthirsty and crazy look in his ferocious and violent eyes made the leader of the Frost Giants feel a chill for the first time!

"Let go! Let go of me!!!"

Laufey furiously beat Steve, who was already on the verge of serious injury, punching and kicking him repeatedly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying force caused the entire building to shake violently, and the expensive tiles crumbled inch by inch!

Steve's head was almost completely embedded in the concrete, and his entire body was a bloody mess, unrecognizable as a human.

Finally, Laufey broke free from this crazy guy who even frightened him a little. He took a few deep breaths and looked at the man whose body was mostly buried in cement debris with lingering fear.

What a terrifying human being.

But the thought only flashed through his mind for a second before Laufey abandoned the barely breathing Steve, followed the direction Natasha had disappeared in, sensed the location of the Frost Shard, and also jumped out from the upper level.

Teleportation Beacon requires a brief setup process before it can actually be transmitted.

From Steve knocking away the Frost Shard to Natasha taking it and leaving, and his desperate attempt to stop Laufey, what seemed like a long time actually all happened in just a few seconds!

But it was in those few seconds, because Steve desperately tried to stop them, that the battle took an amazing turn!

Is it over?

With unwavering and astonishing willpower, Steve slowly turned his head, his broken skull shattered.

Through his blood-blurred vision, he finally saw the Teleportation Beacon, a symbol of hope, signaling the end of the teleportation... Several figures stepped out from the light!

No, it's not over yet!

In his completely blurred vision, the tall figure slowly crouched down, the red Auspex flashing as if coldly watching him, a man on the verge of death.

"Quickly—go—to—save—her."

With his last remaining strength, Steve silently moved his lips. "Please protect... Frost..."

"He's dying, Chapter Master."

Marquez leaned down, looking at the dying Steve, his tone unusually respectful.

We never hesitate to show respect and admiration to any warrior who fights bravely to the last for humanity, even a Space Marine who is a demigod.

Steve proved to them with his actions that he was a true warrior!

"Inject him with the medication."

Ollsen looked down at the mangled body of Steve, a rare hint of admiration in his eyes. "If he survives, I will petition His Highness after the war to allow him to become one of us!"

Steve's courage earned him the admiration of the First Legion and the Dark Angels.

They like this kind of human; it's in line with the style of the First Legion, the Dark Angels, and it's the Primarch, Lion El'Jonson Johnson!
