This chapter may make some readers feel uncomfortable, because Carter will make considerable sacrifices to turn the tide for S.H.I.E.L.D.. It is recommended to prepare a strong heart.
The discomfort may be caused by the following reasons - on the one hand, it is because of the relationship with the captain; on the other hand, Carter is already over ninety years old and married; but most importantly... the character Carter is a strong woman, and it stands to reason that she will not make sacrifices in the following ways. Therefore, writing Ant like this may give people a feeling of character collapse!
But--
What Ant wants to say is that the sacrificial choice Carter made later was the smartest, fastest and most powerful choice she made as a woman after decades of retirement and sudden return to try to turn the tide... to save S.H.I.E.L.D. who was in danger.
If she was not a strong woman and was not dedicated to S.H.I.E.L.D., she would not be able to make the following sacrifices!
This has no conflict with her strong woman character.
Making exchanges and making sacrifices, she is also a strong woman and equally worthy of admiration.
Moreover, the "psychology" of Carter I described is inherited from the old Carter, the mentality in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", not the mentality in "Agent Carter" So heroic! When old Carter was talking to Captain America, he looked very regretful and decadent. Captain America saved the world, but they made everything worse.
Agent Carter, who was reborn from the ashes and regained his youth, inherited this mentality. It was Carter who felt guilty, regretful, and wanted to reverse everything!
So after she regains her youth, Carter will be eager to save S.H.I.E.L.D. who is dying step by step!
I regained my youth instantly, but my mental activity is no longer the same as "Agent Carter" that I used to rush forward with passion when I was young.
Not only does she have the drive she had in the past, she now has the spirit of heroism and sacrifice.
Therefore, she will sacrifice herself in exchange for Armament Haki from Kino to enhance the strength of S.H.I.E.L.D. warriors.
For such a strong woman, she was faced with the situation of returning without soldiers, generals and power, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was in a precarious situation and had to cut through the mess quickly. She made the most logical sacrifice choice. This is the judgment that Carter, who has returned as an old man, should make.
I think she'll do it!
The current Carter and the passionate Carter in his youth will definitely not be the same in mentality.
To be honest, if it were Ant, Ant would make a similar choice in this crisis-ridden situation, and I would sacrifice everything I have.
If Ant were the male protagonist, I would admire her.
But - this is what trading is like. If you want to eat, you either have to work hard or spend money to buy it. There is no such thing as freeloading.
Of course, some people will definitely not be able to change their mind and will choose to give up reading!
But Ant still wrote it like this. I had already considered it when I was typing, but I still didn't change it. This is to highlight the decision-making spirit of Carter!
Below is the text.
The time has come to test you and Ant...
--
The "farce" quickly subsided, but Carter knew it was not a farce.
She asked in a low voice, "Is it your fault?"
"Well, I used space magic to throw the powder inside out of the plane."
"I see, by the way, how did you kill that assassin?"
"You can speak in your head so that no one can hear you." Kino whispered back. The cabin is not a closed space. No matter how low the sound is, it can be easily heard.
Carter was stunned for a moment. "In my mind, how..."
"Yes, that's it, I can hear it."
Kino's voice sounded in his mind, which made Carter stunned for a moment. It turns out that this is how it is, just think about what you want to say in your mind.
This also verified that the other party did have the Mind Stone ability.
"How did you kill that assassin?" Carter asked again.
""Armament Haki"." Kino leaned back on the chair and fell asleep.
Carter also took a rest after seeing this, and the two of them were brainstorming in their minds.
""Armament Haki", what is that?"
"Do you know China's qigong?"
"I know something about it. When I was on a mission about fifty years ago, I met a China master. He knocked the enemy away with one punch, more than 20 meters away, and the enemy's chest was deeply dented. The man once told me that he practiced Qigong, but he was not the strongest. He said that top Qigong masters can release internal Qi to the outside."
Mist grass?
By the way, this is Marvel Earth, not the previous life.
United States is so powerful, how could China be weak? Maybe Qigong has also become stronger?
In Marvel Universe, there is also a replica of "Bruce Lee", a fighter named Shang-Chi, and a master who injects mental power into his fists, "Iron Fist".
Pretty much the same type of people.
Armament Haki?
In simple and popular terms, it is equivalent to qigong - hard qigong and internal strength.
Amazon Lily Haki The skills condensed on the bow and arrow to launch have already appeared in the martial arts novels of the previous life - "Flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people"!
Use the inner air to make the leaves as sharp as a razor blade.
"Is your "Armament Haki" Qigong the same as China's? By the way, you also have the blood of China, right?" Seeing that Kino didn't reply, Carter asked again.
Kino did not pay attention to the issue of blood. "Different paths lead to the same goal, but... it is not the same system."
Carter didn't pursue bloodline either. "Then can others learn from you?"
"Of course!"
Kino was stunned after nodding. What does it mean?
"You want to learn?"
Carter admitted. "I have that idea, but... I want you to teach it to more people and benefit our soldiers!"
"Is it S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Kino joked.
"Hmm."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is in such a mess now. Aren't you afraid that Hydra will learn this thing and make the enemy more powerful?"
Carter shook his head. "Don't be afraid, I think... you should be able to tell who is one of our own."
"Oh? Are you sure I'm the same person as you?"
"OK."
"..." Kino shook his head, noncommittal.
He has never felt or wanted to become his own person with "S.H.I.E.L.D.". He has always considered himself. He will only consider other people when ensuring his own best interests.
"Is that okay?"
Kino smiled, "Yes, yes, but... what benefits can I gain? Don't rush to answer, think carefully. Moreover, I don't want to join S.H.I.E.L.D., even though I have a verbal agreement with Nick Fury. Moreover, I am not short of money, and I am not obsessed with money. It is best for you to have something that can be obtained, and to impress me."
"Cut off contact for now and think about it carefully."
Chips?
Don't like to join S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Does that mean he's not keen on power? That's right, with his strength, it's easy to get power.
And he could easily capture and infiltrate Hydra into S.H.I.E.L.D., but he didn't do so. Firstly, it had nothing to do with him; secondly - it could also be said that he was a little lazy!
Only do things that you like or are interested in.
It's like making her younger, and then watching Captain America's shocking and low-level drama.
Not short of money?
This shows that he has money that he can't spend all his money, or that he is not keen on money and just wants to spend enough!
The things that men like most are nothing more than power, money, and beautiful women.
With power, there will be money and beauties; with money, you can also buy power and beauties; as for beauties... if you pick up a beautiful woman with a good background, you can also gain money and power.
But most of the time, beautiful women are the "effect", and money and power are the "causes". Only with the cause can there be fruit... the fruit is eaten.
By the way, beauty?!
Carter was suddenly startled. He had said before that he liked her niece, well... at least he had some affection for her.
But, this probably won't impress him either!
He has strength and money, but it's not easy to want beautiful women? And he also has Mind Stone abilities, so he can probably control people? If he really wants to sleep with a woman, it's not impossible for the president's wife to crawl into his bed and bite him.
Well, of course the premise is that he is also interested in women in their fifties and sixties... then!
Got it!
She seemed to have thought of something and gritted her teeth.
"Kino!"
"Kino!"
"Mr. Marcus!"
She called out to Kino in her mind, but after finding no response, she had no choice but to touch her elbow. Could it be that she had really cut off contact with Mind Stone before, or was she... "acting"?
It wouldn't be so embarrassing if it was really cut off.
Forget it, she couldn't guess it no matter what!
"Huh? What, have you thought about the chips?" Kino asked.
"Well, how about my niece? Sharon·Carter!"
Kino laughed, "Haha! I admit that I have a slight interest in your niece. Although I prefer her oval face when she was 18, but... her face is a bit squarer and she looks more mature. But unfortunately, this is not enough to persuade me!"
"Then - what about me?"
"Ahem!"
Kino was immediately choked. This was not in his mind, but in reality. He was a little confused, a little Sparta, and a little confused! These Peggy·Carter are too selfless and willing to fight for S.H.I.E.L.D., right?
This... this... this... is really willing to spend a lot of money!
Also, she just saw one way of using "Armament Haki", which visually... looks similar to China Qigong.
How dare she make such a big decision without in-depth understanding?
If I had to change someone else, I would definitely hire a China qigong master as a teacher. As for the skill just now, at least in terms of visual effects, there is not much difference between the two.
Carter dares to sacrifice his own life to feed the tiger and sacrifice his family for everyone. He is really willing to fight for it!
Suddenly I felt a sense of admiration for her!
But it seems not difficult to understand that United States people are not unusual for this kind of thing. In addition, she is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Over the past few decades, she has watched her children being infiltrated into a sieve, and the sense of powerlessness and humiliation is eroding her nerves all the time.
She wanted to wash away this humiliation, she wanted to reverse the declining situation in front of her, and it seemed reasonable to borrow "chips" from him...
It's just that she can see the power of "Armament Haki" at a glance. Isn't her eyesight too powerful?
You can see the leopard in the tube.
"Are you serious?"
"Do you think I'm kidding?"
