Peggy Carter's Funeral, the World Was Undergoing Drastic Changes

Heimdall suppressed his shock.

Even he didn't know how to report this.

But he already sensed that Kamar-Taj would completely surpass Asgard, possibly in the not-too-distant future...

The position of Lord of the Nine Realms must be given to Supreme Wanda!

Although Heimdall was unwilling, he could not rashly start a war; he was merely a gatekeeper god.

Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to!

Furthermore, if Ragnarok were to erupt, Asgard would need Chen Ji to eliminate Surtur!

The fate of Asgard rests entirely on Chen Ji's decision.

This is not an exaggeration.

Then, he used his All-Seeing Power to immediately look at Earth, searching for Ghost Rider's whereabouts.

In an instant.

He saw the figure of a Western cowboy in an America cemetery.

This cowboy harbors Spirit of Vengeance within him!

And its location is Woodlawn Cemetery New York City.

Woodlawn Cemetery?

"I've actually been to this place before..."

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

He was reminded of long-forgotten memories.

His first meeting with Tony Stark actually took place at Woodlawn Cemetery.

This cemetery is the final resting place of many world-famous figures, including Tony's father, Howard Stark, and Professor X's parents.

Now that we know Carter Slade's location, things are much easier!

"Thor."

"Would you be interested in coming back to the Midgard with me?"

Chen Ji smiled.

"Feel sorry."

"I'm going to deal with Surtur!"

"Smash his dog head!"

Thor, the Thor god, is full of fighting spirit.

During his time with Chen Ji, he was constantly bombarded with setbacks and suffered from extreme self-doubt.

Whether Ragnarok occurs or not, he will defeat Surtur to prove his majesty and divine power!

"All right."

"Then be careful."

Chen Ji shook his head with a wry smile.

This behavior is tantamount to prematurely ushering in Ragnarok.

But he cannot reveal the truth about Ragnarok.

The Gods Above Gods, seated in the shadows and watching over Asgard, would certainly not allow this gluttonous feast to be missed!

But he truly had no confidence in being able to rival the Elder Gods.

Just as he said, he could Dream-Killing Celestial, which was a clever trick.

A true Ancient Gods, once it comes to the real world, is nothing short of a walking natural disaster.

A sneeze could probably Oblivion a city!

With a stomp of the foot, the world can be turned upside down!

Even as he suppressed his power to prevent his every move from shattering the planet.

At this moment, Chen Ji realized that the Earth Gods' departure from Earth might not be due to the threat from the Celestials.

Rather, the divine power of the Earth Gods is far too easily capable of destroying the planet.

"Simple."

"Perfect timing, I'll take you back to New York."

Chen Ji waved his hand, opening a spatial portal.

Then, he and Jane Foster walked together from the Asgard back to the New York City.

Woodlawn Cemetery.

Late autumn.

A slight chill crept into the air.

Withered yellow leaves fall, swirling and tumbling to the ground, like fairies dancing.

The crosses are arranged in a staggered manner, each bearing a surname and the year of birth and death.

Furthermore, a low-key yet grand funeral is being held.

All the guests were dressed in black, with the women wearing black veils and looking sorrowful.

Four robust young men were responsible for carrying the coffin during the funeral procession.

The blond youth at the head of the group, with his broad back and arms resembling a world-class bodybuilder, had a look of disappointment in his eyes.

It was as if the deceased sleeping in the coffin was his closest relative.

"Rogers."

"Death is not the end, forgetting is."

"Ms. Carter's life is also the history of S.H.I.E.L.D.."

"I will carry on her will and continue to take good care of this country."

A one-eyed Black man wearing a black trench coat and an eye patch gently patted the young man's shoulder.

The tombstone bears a black-and-white portrait of a smiling face.

Name and title are--

Peggy Carter.

S.H.I.E.L.D., forever.

"I heard the Super-Soldier Program and the Weapon X project are progressing well?"

Steve Rogers gave a subtle look.

In the 1940s, he became Captain America through the Super-Soldier Program.

But...

After destroying HYDRA, he fell into an Arctic glacier and awoke seventy years later.

He owes Peggy a dance.

There seems to be no way to compensate for it.

Because that person has passed away.

Although he is still young, he is already feeling exhausted by the current chaotic international situation and the growing power of Mutant.

The Sokovia Accords were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making him even more convinced.

The spirit of freedom he believed in has completely disappeared in today's United States of America.

So, is it still worth risking his life for him?

This was a question that lingered deep within him.

If it weren't for Tony's repeated dissuasion and Peggy Carter's dying words that moved him, he would have been in trouble.

He's probably already gone and will never pick up the shield again.

He was just a World War II veteran, with no ambition or desire, and completely out of step with the times.

There are moments when even he struggles with the thought: Did he do something wrong?

However, habits formed over many years are not so easy to change.

It can only be said that what he believed in has indeed become history!

"Thunderbolt Ross and General Stryker are pushing forward with some plan that may concern the next president."

"But I don't know the details either."

"I'm just a nobody."

Nick Fury shrugged.

Although he may seem powerful and influential as the S.H.I.E.L.D.., in the eyes of those in real power, he is merely a convenient tool.

Like Steve Rogers, he was caught up in the world of politics and had no choice in what he did.

Faced with the general trend of the times, we can only wait for the right time to act.

"The President?"

"Is this an attempt to revive imperialism?"

Rogers joked.

Whether it's Thunderbolt Ross or William Stryker taking over, it will have far-reaching consequences.

Because both of these men are leading figures in the Hawks faction!

Furthermore, the rapid increase in the number of Mutant due to Sokovia's powerful rise provided a sufficient and reasonable motivation.

They also won the support of countless rednecks through various media channels, and their influence and approval ratings have been rising steadily!

"I have no way of predicting the future..."

"You know that."

"I'm not even Super Soldier."

"But I believe in Tony. He won't stand idly by and watch all this happen. I heard he disappeared for a while, but he's back now and is working on developing a new type of armor."

"I heard it's a giant suit of armor."

Nick Fury smiled.

"It's called armor, but it's actually a weapon."

"As long as weapons exist, the world will never be at peace."

Captain America shook his head.

"Can there be peace without weapons?"

"Rogers."

"If you want to change all this, you can't stand idly by. I think you could try running for the next president."

"Reshape social values through your will."

Fury's one eye flashed with a sharp light.

Instead of putting Thunderbolt Ross and William Stryker in power, why not support Captain America?

At least Captain America understands the dangers of war and would never easily start one.

The prosperity brings suffering to the people.

The people suffer when their families perish.

Like Steve, he came from a humble background, and as a person of color, his situation was even more difficult.

Fortunately, he received help from the Skrulls; otherwise, he might still be working as a field agent.

"Running for the next president?"

"I?"

Steve Rogers looked completely taken aback.

He really hadn't considered that!

But does he really have that ability?

"I believe that your appointment as president will be a blessing for United States."

A burst of hearty and friendly laughter rang out.

Rogers and Nick Fury turned around abruptly and were immediately surprised to see the uninvited guests.

When did he appear?

How come I didn't notice anything?!

"List..."

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

Rogers forced a smile.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar Acting Sorcerer Supreme, it was as if he were recalling the meeting at Stark Estate once again.

There's also the Battle of Sokovia, a 'bond' of enemies and allies.

But what did he do at Woodlawn Cemetery? Was he there to pay his respects to Peggy Carter?

This was not only his question, but also Nick Fury's!

"List."

"If you intend to harm us, then Thunderbolt Ross will have a reason to send troops, and the destruction of Sokovia will be imminent."

Nick Fury's expression betrayed his wariness.

After all, Chen Ji's prestige and strength were already widely known!

He is the behind-the-scenes mastermind of Sokovia's politics!

He also single-handedly founded the behemoth that is the Vought Group!

Logically speaking, he had absolutely no motive or reason to appear at Woodlawn Cemetery!

Therefore, there is only one answer.

He's here to get rid of Captain America!

But as he said, the United States of America currently has no reason to target Sokovia, and if Chen Ji dares to take action, it will give them a handle to use against him.

With its advanced weaponry, the Helicarrier could raze Sokovia to the ground!

The Battle of Sokovia.

The dropped alien technology equipment was also smuggled to their respective bases by S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the Sentinel Special Operations.

Furthermore, through the disassembly by the research team, the technological level of the United States of America has also experienced a technological explosion!

Creating something from nothing is as difficult as climbing to heaven, but can't you even imitate a cat or a tiger?

The wisdom of human civilization has always stemmed from imitation.

Even the creation of Weapon H is directly related to the technology of the Chitauri Civilization!

The Sentinel Special Operations is also collecting superhero DNA, trying to fuse it to create more versions of 'combined heroes'!

Meanwhile, the Super-Soldier Program is progressing steadily. Abraham Erskine's formula has been enhanced ten thousand times, becoming like liquid gold.

It's hailed as the 'Golden Serum'!

The purpose of this Golden Serum is to rival Chen Ji and endow soldiers with godlike power!

But Chen Ji's sudden visit immediately filled Nick Fury with fear; who knew what he was up to?!

"I have no hostile intentions."

"I didn't come here for you."

"A cosmic Wonder that only occurs once every five thousand years is about to unfold."

"I am inspecting the Midgard to ensure the safety of the earth."

Chen Ji smiled.

Immediately, a look of shame, indignation, and bewilderment flashed across their faces.

"Celestial Convergence?"

What does this mean?

Captain America gazed intently.

Although he was unhappy, he had to admit that the threat he and Nick Fury posed was not as great as he had imagined.

Chen Ji really had no reason to assassinate him.

What are the benefits of this?

But he simply couldn't accept this explanation!

"Let me explain."

"The Celestial Convergence refers to a Wonder phenomenon in the Nine Realms, much like the alignment of the nine planets in the Solar System. Asgard and Earth will also intersect."

"Creatures from other kingdoms could take this opportunity to invade our world."

"Thor has gone to deal with the Flame Lord Surtur."

"As long as Chen Ji is around on Earth, there's no need to worry."

Jane Foster's beautiful eyes sparkled.

Seeing Captain America from her history textbook appear before her made her heart flutter.

Jane Foster even wholeheartedly supported Nick Fury's proposal.

If Captain America were to become president, United States would surely return to greatness, and given his reputation and prestige, it's not impossible!

At the very least Jane Foster would definitely cast a vote.

"There's something else like that?"

"... How long have you been here?"

Captain America and Nick Fury exchanged a glance.

Rogers is concerned about the dangers of Celestial Convergence.

What Nick Fury was concerned about was just how many secrets Chen Ji had overheard!

The Weapon X project and the Super-Soldier Program, in particular, are clearly aimed at Sokovia!

Once Chen Ji finds out about this, who knows what the consequences will be?

S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the Sentinel Special Operations might even disappear from the map!

"I just arrived recently."

"Don't worry."

"What Weapon H, giant armor, Golden Serum, fusion hero, I didn't hear any of that."

Chen Ji comforted him.

But this made Nick Fury secretly vomit blood!

Haven't you heard yet?

Didn't we hear everything?

He actually leaked state secrets?!

He even leaked it to his enemies!

This caused him unbearable pain; he wished he could find a block of tofu and pretend to be dead. It was incredibly humiliating!

Certainly.

Nick Fury had heard about Sokovia's development and had been monitoring it.

Because the Skrulls had already infiltrated Sokovia.

Including, but not limited to, Vought Group, the Extraordinary Abilities Department, S.W.O.R.D.., the United Earth Army...

He even knew about the Sokovia Accords before they were signed, and it touched on another secret.

Sokovia also plans to form a team of superheroes.

I think their name is something like, the Boys!

Almost everyone in the group is Mutant!

Therefore, Captain Marvel Carol returned to space and invited the Squadron Supreme to Earth as allies of the Avengers to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.

Only...

Nick Fury had no idea he would run into Chen Ji, the mastermind behind everything, at Woodlawn Cemetery!

Celestial Convergence?

Is it real or just a smokescreen?

"List."

"Did you know that mirages occurred on Earth before?"

Captain America's gaze was unwavering.

He was not afraid of Chen Ji.

At worst, I'll just die.

If sacrificing himself could save all of humanity, he would do it without hesitation.

I fear his sacrifice will be meaningless.

"A mirage?"

"You saw me and Tony?"

"Back then, we were in the Dream of the Celestials, and we even successfully killed a Celestials. You should be thanking me for being able to chat and laugh here."

Chen Ji smiled knowingly.

He doesn't care about Weapon X or Super Soldier.

Because once he finds the remains of the Celestials, he can steal the Authority Celestials possess and absorb the energy of all individual lives!

In other words...

The more superheroes on Earth, the better!

In any case, it will all eventually transform into his magic!

"Walter?"

"The Dream of the Celestials? Slaying a Celestials?"

"What's going on here?"

Captain America and Fury looked at each other in bewilderment.

Both of them felt utterly incredulous.

It seems Tony was telling the truth!

Deep within the Earth, a 'Celestials' sleeps!

It can also be understood as a kind of God-Level Life!

An existence higher than the Skyfather.

And Chen Ji was actually able to slay a god?

Doesn't this mean that even if Weapon H and the golden soldier appear, it will be meaningless?

Just how far has this Acting Sorcerer Supreme progressed, and how does he intend to deal with the America?

One question mark after another surfaced in my mind.

Even Nick Fury was speechless.
