After defeating the goddesses Sekhmet and Bast, Wenwu turned his gaze towards the distant North America.
At this moment, the various armies of the United States have been completely crushed by the Ten Rings Force. Steve is seriously injured and has been captured alive.
Carol is engaged in a fierce battle with Wenwu's clone. Although the clone is suppressing her, it is still not so easy to completely kill Carol.
" Xu Wenwu, you will pay the price for your actions!"
Carol was thrown into the ground, then struggled to rise from the deep pit, blood constantly spilling from the corner of her mouth, her eyes bloodshot, as she roared fiercely at Wenwu.
As soon as she finished speaking, she flashed into a dazzling golden light and turned to flee.
"Trying to escape? Did you even ask me?"
The Mirror Dimension suddenly opened, and the surrounding space abruptly reversed and distorted. Wenwu's true form instantly crossed the distance and blocked Carol's path.
Damn it!
Carol's face was extremely ugly. She once again unleashed her maximum power, intending to force Wenwu back in one fell swoop.
Wenwu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead took Carol's full-force blow with his chest. At the same instant, his right palm slammed heavily into Carol's chest.
This time, Carol wasn't blasted away; her soul was directly ejected from her body by the palm strike.
A powerful Cosmic Energy was tightly binding Carol's illusory soul, desperately trying to pull it back into her body.
But Wenwu didn't give her a chance at all. He condensed his own soul into a huge golden hand and grabbed Carol's illusory soul tightly.
"Ah... what do you want to do?!"
Carol saw her soul being held in the other's hand and screamed in terror.
Do you know... how annoying you are?
Wenwu's voice was icy cold, and the power of Life Control instantly enveloped Carol's soul, forcibly devouring it.
"Ah--!"
Carol's soul emitted an extremely shrill scream.
Her soul was being rapidly eroded and devoured, and the life essence of her physical body, as well as the vast Cosmic Energy within her, were being rapidly stripped away and lost.
Compared to Ikaris, Sekhmet, and Bast, Carol's weaknesses are particularly obvious. While her will is strong, her soul is too fragile.
Caught off guard by Wenwu's unexpected move, Carol was quickly plunged into Extremis.
"I won't let you die like this. Just live a normal life."
Wenwu's tone was icy.
Just as Carol's consciousness was about to completely dissipate, he stuffed his weakened soul back into the body that had lost all Cosmic Energy.
He then used his Mind Stone powers to rewrite her consciousness, erase all her past memories, alter her appearance, and casually abandoned her in a remote town, turning her into an ordinary person.
"What... what's wrong with me?"
In a remote border town, Carol slowly woke up, her mind blank, almost forgetting how to speak.
She gazed at the quiet streets of the town, wandering aimlessly.
Wenwu hid in the shadows, and to prevent her from dying unexpectedly at an early age, he specially arranged for an elderly couple who ran a farm to take her in.
The approach is the same as when Stephen was dealt with.
He doesn't know who the anchor of this universe is, so he won't easily kill these core Avengers protagonists.
As for the Eternals, although it's almost certain they won't have anyone anchored, Wenwu won't kill them at this stage.
Killing them would likely thoroughly alarm the Celestials.
He now possesses four Infinity Stones, and the Celestials have yet to notice his arrival.
If we rashly kill the Eternals and attract the attention of the Celestials, it will be a losing proposition.
Wenwu withdrew his gaze, opened his right palm, and a burst of blue-gold energy erupted, making his entire palm dazzling.
This is Carol's photon energy, similar to the energy of the Tesseract, of an extremely high level, capable of automatically absorbing Cosmic Energy to replenish itself!
After mastering this photon energy, Wenwu's strength was further enhanced!
As time slowly passed, most of the United States was gradually occupied by the Ten Rings Empire and Tsarist Russia.
Following closely behind, the China army pressed in, further accelerating the fall of the United States.
The remaining large numbers of United States troops retreated to Washington.
" Tony, why have you stopped resisting?"
In Los Angeles, Wenwu himself stepped into Tony's mansion in Malibu.
The room was filled with people, including Tony, Pepper Potts, Peter, Barton, Natasha, Happy, and their families.
"With such terrifying military power and an almost invincible being like you, we have long since given up resisting. Kill us or torture us, it's all up to you."
Tony slumped onto the sofa, his face filled with a look of utter despair.
Everyone else present fell silent, their faces a mixture of frustration, sadness, and despair.
Tony is right, the Ten Rings Empire is too powerful.
Not only are their individual combat capabilities formidable, but they also possess an overwhelming interstellar fleet; the two sides are simply not on the same level.
"Why would I kill you? Once I rule this land, you will be my people. I have always been lenient with my own people."
Wenwu smiled faintly, his tone gentle.
"Come on, I'll show you a good show."
As Wenwu finished speaking, a huge holographic projection screen unfolded in front of everyone.
On the screen, live footage of the battlefields in Europe and North America was being played.
NATO, already terrified, formally announced its surrender, and various Europe countries followed suit, choosing to submit.
The United States was completely isolated and helpless, while the armies of China and Tsarist Russia steadily advanced across the country, successively taking control of large swathes of territory.
Countless United States troops were retreating towards Washington, D.C..
"Fuck... fuck! How did this happen? Are we going to be completely wiped out?"
Inside the Pentagon command center, the president's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared in fury, his face contorted with resentment.
"Mr. President, let's... surrender. There's no hope left..."
A general, filled with fear, tried to dissuade him.
"Useless! You want the mighty United States to surrender? This is an absolute disgrace!"
The president grabbed a stack of documents and slammed them down on the general who had suggested surrendering, roaring as he did so.
"We still have a chance! We still have a large army, and the last thousand Sentinels! Fight to the death!"
The president roared.
"Waaaaah--!!"
Just then, the alarm in the command center suddenly went off in a frantic blare.
"What happened??"
"Report! All Sentinels, including Second-Generation Sentry, have gone out of control and rebelled, and are attacking our forces!"
A staff officer shouted in terror as screens displayed horrific footage of Sentry turning against their own troops.
"How could this be? It's impossible! Weren't the Sentinels supposed to be absolutely controllable? It's Ten Rings breach program that remotely controlled them?"
The president violently ripped out a large clump of hair, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Everyone in the command center felt a chill run down their spines.
The First-Generation Sentry still had some room to resist, but the Second-Generation Sentry were extremely destructive.
In the blink of an eye, their own army suffered heavy losses, with more than half of its troops killed or wounded. The troops were thrown into complete chaos, and the soldiers scattered and fled.
Fury was also in the hall at that moment, sensing that disaster was about to befall him, and planned to sneak away when no one was paying attention.
But at that very moment, hundreds of Second-Generation Sentry Robot descended from the sky, crashing through the top floor and slamming into the command hall.
