The Soldier Boy disappeared, only to reappear in front of Kree heavy weapons expert Brown Charles.
The giant who had once wrestled with Wei and was proud of his strength couldn't even see his movements clearly.
Brown Charles instinctively swung his fist.
But this punch was caught firmly by a hand.
The Soldier Boy's right hand.
It remained completely still.
Brown Charles's ferocity turned to astonishment.
He used all his strength, but he couldn't move his fist any further.
"Too weak."
After the Soldier Boy made a comment, he exerted force with his five fingers.
"Snap--!"
Brown Charles's thick arm was snapped in two by him!
The pain caused the giant to scream, but his screams lasted only two seconds.
The Soldier Boy raised his left arm expressionlessly, and the shield emblazoned with the Stars and Stripes transformed into a battle axe, slamming it hard into Brown Charles's face.
Flame erupted on the other side of the battlefield!
The Human Torch, engulfed in flames, charged into the Kree formation.
His target was Art Ras, who wielded two swords.
Art Rath brandished the Kree Glaive, attempting to slice through the Flame.
But the Flame deftly bypassed his Blade and clung to his armor.
"Aaaaaah!"
The intense heat turned the specially made armor red-hot, and the scorching sensation caused Art Ras to roll frantically on the ground, trying to extinguish the Flame.
Human Torch hovered in mid-air, admiring his masterpiece.
He snapped his the Snap.
The Flame attached to Art Ras suddenly exploded!
Kree sniper Minerva found his opportunity.
She knelt on one knee and locked the scope of her energy rifle onto the most dangerous Soldier Boy.
Just as the energy beam was about to be fired, a flowing air barrier appeared in front of her.
" Wind Wall!"
The deadly energy beam struck the barrier, but vanished without a trace.
Minerva's alarm blared, and when she turned around, the Ronin wielding a long sword had appeared behind her without her noticing.
Yasuo didn't even draw his sword.
He simply raised his hand and tapped Minerva on the back of the neck.
Precise, elegant, and deadly.
The Kree sniper didn't even utter a sound; his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Holy crap!
Nick Fury's eyes widened like saucers.
He watched as those three monstrous beings, like gods descended from heaven, utterly decimated the alien team in just a dozen seconds.
Vought's a bunch of lunatics!
"Hahaha! Now that's what you call a fight!"
A burst of excited laughter broke Fury's shock.
Vivo!
She couldn't hold back any longer!
"Party time!"
The pink figure rushed out, this time heading straight for the battlefield that the Soldier Boy was "cleaning up".
"Old man! You're way too slow!"
With a single uppercut, she sent a Kree soldier flying through the air as he tried to ambush Soldier Boy from behind.
Without turning his head, the Soldier Boy swung his shield backhand, sending the Kree warrior flying through the air like a baseball!
"Show some respect to your elders, kid!"
Carol stared blankly at all of this.
She felt like she had become a useless piece of trash.
She knew the Soldier Boy and the Human Torch; the memories of World War II heroes existed in her mind.
But who is that guy with the knife?
Talos and his surviving Skrulls were so terrified that they huddled behind the wreckage of the plane, barely daring to breathe.
Yon Rogge watched helplessly as his prized Starforce was utterly crushed in less than two minutes.
The arrogance and confidence on his face had long since vanished.
What kind of monsters are these Earthlings?
The sandstorm has subsided.
On the battlefield, he was the only one left standing.
Soldier Boy, Human Torch, and Vi surrounded him in a triangular formation.
But he wasn't looking at them.
He watched the Ronin slowly walk towards him.
Yasuo.
Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Yon Rogge was enraged. He was the commander of the Kree Empire, a born warrior!
He would never tolerate such contempt from a primitive man!
Yon Roger spread his arms wide, and the magnetic controllers on his wrists went full power!
The scattered wreckage of Quinjet transport and fragments of Kree fighters around them caused all the metallic materials to tremble violently.
Hundreds and thousands of metal fragments of varying sizes transformed into deadly projectiles and hurtled toward Yasuo!
Yasuo, however, was about to be engulfed by the torrent of metal.
Draw your sword.
"Bass--"
A flash of sword light, and the whistling metal fragment was cut in half as it rushed towards Yasuo.
The torrent of metal, cleaved through, slid down Yasuo's sides, piling up into two small hills behind him.
The wind ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead.
Yasuo brushed past Yong-Rog.
Then sheathed the sword.
"Click."
A soft sound.
Yon Rogge lowered his head.
A thin red line stretched from his left shoulder armor to his right waist.
His Kree alloy armor, along with his pride as a warrior, was severed in two.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only a mouthful of blood gushed out.
His knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees in the desert.
The battle is over.
The Soldier Boy strode over, placing one foot heavily on Yon Roger's back, pressing the sharp edge of the triangular shield against the back of his neck.
"Alien scum."
The Vought fighter jet, after circling once, landed on the sand not far away.
The hatch opened.
Nina Williams led a fully armed and highly efficient Vought Tactical Team down the street.
Without further ado, they began using specially designed energy binders to restrain all the incapacitated Kree.
The Soldier Boy removed the shield from Yon Roger's neck and turned to walk towards Carol and her group.
He pointed at them with the tip of his shield.
"You, come with us."
"Aliens, pilots... not one can be missing."
Nick Fury stepped forward, attempting to maintain his dignity as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
"On what grounds? This is S.H.I.E.L.D.. territory! These aliens are our targets!"
The Soldier Boy let out a sneer.
S.H.I.E.L.D..?
He looked Fury up and down, making no attempt to hide his contempt.
"Is that the joke organization that got its vital supplies stolen by an assassin on a New York highway?"
"Your jurisdiction isn't even enough to control the streets of New York."
Fury was stunned.
Assassin?
Stealing supplies?
What happened?
Just as Fury was filled with confusion.
Major cities around the world.
Times Square in New York, Piccadilly Circus in London, Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo...
The advertisements that were playing on the giant screens of all the landmark buildings were cut off.
A prominent logo suddenly pops up.
VNN.
Vought News Network
A shocking headline appeared in the largest font size in front of billions of people around the world.
"World War II Heroes Clash with Mysterious Assassins in the Streets; Conflict Between Secret Government Agencies Becomes Public!"
The news report used blurry surveillance footage from various angles and images taken by passersby's cell phones to piece together a brutal battle that took place on a New York highway.
The video highlights the Winter Soldier's gleaming metal arm and his ghostly movements.
The survivors' identities were further identified in bold subtitles.
" Dum Dum Dugan! A legendary member of the Howling Commandos during World War II!"
The news anchor repeatedly questioned the reporter in a highly inflammatory tone.
Why would a World War II hero, who should have been dead, appear in a modern gunfight?
Who exactly is the secret organization he works for?
"How many secrets has our government been hiding from us?!"
Public opinion spread like Stormfront.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Director's Office.
Alexander Pierce stared blankly at the news on the screen.
