After Captain America cleared out most of Hydra's bases, Tang Tian also obtained a large number of energy battery packs. Recently, he had continuously absorbed Hydra's energy batteries to restore his strength, and his gravity power had now recovered. Magic had also fused with his superpower energy, becoming a single force. Once everything was nearly complete, Tang Tian would inject himself with several viruses and enter hibernation, gaining an ageless and immortal body. As for the possibility of failure, there was no need to consider it. With Tang Tian's unique constitution, failure was impossible. Otherwise, he would have long since turned to ashes when the Cosmic Cube's energy came into contact with his cells.

Of course, Tang Tian also acquired most of the Hydra weapons seized by Captain America, including heavy energy tanks and powered armor—the kind of powered armor from the film that could fire small energy cannons. Once Dr. Zola was in place, they could manufacture new energy weapons. Over time, Umbrella's arms sales increased, and the pharmaceutical company's transformation into an arms manufacturer became increasingly obvious.

"The Cosmic Cube's energy really is impressive. I can already feel my strength slowly recovering." After the meeting ended, Tang Tian left the conference room and went to rest in one of the rooms. He took an energy battery from his storage space and rapidly absorbed it. Black light covered his hand, devouring the blue energy battery from the Cosmic Cube.

"Sir, the operation has begun," a Serum Troops member said. "Oh? How long has it been?" Tang Tian asked casually. As he absorbed energy, his aura grew increasingly powerful.

"It has been an hour," the Serum Troops member replied expressionlessly. "Good. Once they complete their mission, release Nemesis." "Yes, sir." With that, the operation officially began.

Just like in Captain America's story, Rogers, Steve, and Alfred stood at the edge of the mountain, looking down at the train below along the ropes. Just as in the film, James—also known as Bucky, the future Winter Soldier—fell and went missing. But while Captain America carried out his operation, Umbrella was acting as well. Dr. Zola was secretly taken away by the insignificant Steve and Alfred. The duo, enhanced by the Super-Soldier Serum, killed the Black man who had found Dr. Zola and everyone controlling the Hydra train. Then they found a stable spot and jumped down. The mission was complete.

This mission had only succeeded because of Captain America; otherwise, it would have been very difficult to accomplish. Dr. Zola's disappearance indeed did not cause any problems. Unlike the original film's arrangement, the military already knew about Hydra's final base in reality. They decided to secure the scientist Dr. Zola first, then attack Hydra's final base.

"Sir, the mission has been completed. Shall we release Nemesis?" After reading the information sent through the communicator, the intelligence officer spoke calmly. Tang Tian stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before turning to the intelligence officer behind him. "Begin deployment. Test the combat data." "Where is the deployment location?" the intelligence officer asked. "Deploy them at Hydra's base in the Alps," Tang Tian said, a cold gleam shining beneath his sunglasses. Hydra's base and Umbrella had cooperated for some time, after all. The Super-Soldier Serum had been extracted from the Sun Staircase. But after Schmidt injected himself with an incomplete Super-Soldier Serum, he betrayed Umbrella. The two organizations had since become mortal enemies.

Just as Red Skull announced the operation, a transport plane flew overhead and stopped above Hydra's base. Instead of dropping bombs, it released thirty two-meter-tall iron crates marked with skull symbols. However, the defenses of Hydra's final base were extremely powerful. The moment the crates were deployed, they were blown apart by enormous energy tanks.

When Red Skull Schmidt came out and saw Umbrella Corporation's symbol, his heart sank. He seemed to recall the many Hydra bases that had been attacked by agile reptilian creatures. This time, he had no idea what kind of monster Umbrella Corporation would deploy.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!" While Schmidt was thinking, the iron crates opened. The thirty first-generation Nemeses unleashed torrents of fire from their 20mm electromagnetic-accelerated miniguns, firing countless blazing metal rounds spinning at extreme speeds. By the time the sound rang out, countless bullets had already pierced through Hydra soldiers. Any Hydra member hit by a 20mm round was torn in half.

Rogers also seized the opportunity to enter Hydra's base. The invasion of the Nemesis bioweapons inflicted devastating losses on Hydra, and Captain America's arrival caused Hydra's entire line to collapse. Nemesis's electromagnetic-accelerated miniguns fired at a rate of ten thousand rounds per minute, more than a hundred rounds per second. With their enormous ammunition capacity, they were like mobile artillery platforms filled with destruction.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The sounds of continuous gunfire echoed through Hydra's base. A large number of bullets struck the two-meter-tall Nemeses, only to bounce away from their dense muscles. The T-virus gave the bioweapons regenerative power and formidable defenses. Umbrella's bioweapons were cheap and powerful, making them perfect for the newly rising Tang Tian. After plundering a vast amount of mechanical technology from film worlds, Tang Tian would restore the Iron Empire. His true plan was to temporarily leave the Marvel Universe after the Captain America incident ended and develop the colonies for several centuries. Only then could he live better in the coming reality.

However, although things differed from the film, even with the addition of a large number of Nemeses during Captain America's operation, Captain America still boarded the bomber just as he had in the film, and events proceeded accordingly. The Nemeses suffered heavy losses in their assault on Hydra and were nearly wiped out. After the battle ended, all Nemesis corpses were recovered. Electromagnetic weapons had also displayed their tremendous power in this battle.

"I'm Captain Rogers. Can anyone hear me?" After Red Skull died, Rogers came to the communicator, opened the command center frequency, and spoke.

"Steve, is that you? This is Carter. Are you all right?" A man had initially been at the communicator, but when Carter heard Rogers's voice, she came over. "I'm fine. Schmidt is dead."

Rogers spoke simply as he watched the bomber's heavy-bomb automatic program activate. "Where is the plane now? We'll find you a safe place to land," Carter said, her voice filled with concern.

"I may not have time to worry about a safe landing. I need to attempt an emergency landing immediately." Rogers checked all the instrument panels and spoke nervously. "No, I'll get Howard right away. He knows what to do." Carter clearly knew Howard had the ability to help Rogers.

"There's no time. This plane is too fast, and it's heading for New York." With no other choice left, Rogers said, "I have to put it down in the sea." "Don't, Steve. There's still time. We can think of another way." Carter already understood that Rogers was planning to sacrifice himself.

"There's no other way. I'm over an uninhabited area. If I don't act immediately, many people will die." Rogers watched the bomber slowly descend and spoke tensely. "Peggy, this is my choice too."

Rogers opened his pocket watch. Inside was a photograph of Peggy Carter. As Rogers held his final conversation with Peggy Carter, he fell into the Atlantic Ocean, and the superhero Captain America temporarily withdrew from the stage of history.

"It's time to begin. I've been wasting too much time in the real world. The plundering plan for the film worlds should begin in full." After Captain America crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, Tang Tian muttered to himself. Everything before his departure had already been arranged. First, clones identical to Tang Tian would be created. Then, after selling large quantities of weapons to Germany, investment in Germany would cease. After all, the Marvel Universe's advance had officially begun.

P.S. The various sci-fi film world travels will begin soon. Please give your support.
