Chapter 1476 Tonight is the time for the feast! (19)
How long does it take to destroy a world?
If it were before, perhaps no one could give an accurate answer.
Ten days? One hundred days? One year? ten years?
No, it should be said that with the Avengers, the human world will not be destroyed. Even if human beings do encounter an unimaginable disaster, it is not easy to completely exterminate human beings.
Human beings are as tenacious as any other species, just like insects.
To Vision, this was not an insult, but a compliment. Praise the tenacity of human beings, praise the courage of human beings, and praise the greatness of human beings. Just like bugs have never been eliminated, and human beings will never be destroyed.
Even if burned by fire, flooded, destroyed by storms and earthquakes, ravaged by disease and plague...
Millions of years of history prove that mankind has never been defeated.
Vision once thought so, and firmly believed in the greatness of mankind.
However... reality gave him a blow.
Back to the previous question, how long will it take to destroy humanity?
The answer is...twenty-five minutes.
The huge celestial body that descended on New York, USA, after destroying the international city with millions of people, turned into a sea of blood and swept the world at an alarming speed. Wherever it passed, no one survived.
Just like the great flood that God once sent to cleanse mankind from its sins.
However, the difference is that this time there is no Noah and no Ark. The bloody ocean ignores differences. Whether it is the head of a country or a beggar on the street, they are all treated equally.
Countless lives were swallowed up and dissolved by it, and after turning into bloody water, they joined the bloody ocean.
The sea of blood expanded so rapidly that it did not give humans any time to prepare. In just over 20 minutes, it swept almost all corners of the world.
The only thing that has not been swallowed up by it is Antarctica, the last pure land.
Under Carol's desperate escort, after several life-and-death crises, Vision and Black Widow finally set foot on this eternal frozen land, arriving at the last 'hope' of mankind.
"It should be safe here..."
Carol, who had been tense, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, she seemed to have been drained, her face was pale and bloodless, and she sat slumped on the frozen soil and ice. Without caring about hygiene issues, she immediately picked up a mouthful of snow and stuffed it into her mouth.
One bite was not enough, so she lowered her head and ate the snow crazily, with traces of white air rising from her body.
Along the way, in order to protect Black Widow and Vision, she fought with her life several times and consumed a huge amount of energy. Now she is like an overheated engine in urgent need of cooling and rehydration.
"Don't worry, it's... safe for the time being." Carroll finished chewing a piece of ice, and then he felt a little cooler. He wiped the broken ice around his mouth and said, "However, it shouldn't last. How long, so we need to speed up.”
"You...why are you helping us?"
Having just escaped, Vision did not dare to be careless and stared at Carol warily.
Although not long ago, the other party risked his own life and death several times and desperately rescued him and Black Widow from the sea of blood, but after guessing her true identity, Vision has never been able to trust her.
Black Widow was protected by Vision, and the Mind Stone on her forehead shone slightly, as if she was ready for battle.
Carol lowered her eyes and remained silent.
"Answer my question..." Vision's voice suddenly rose, and his eyes were sharp: "Slugult!!!"
Boom!
A bolt of lightning rumbled across the sky.
Hearing this name, Carol trembled all over, her head hung lower, her hands were clenched tightly, and her veins popped out.
"You are not Carol at all!" Vision suppressed a certain emotion and shouted in a low voice: "Carol... has died a long time ago. Why do you pretend to be her? Why do you want to help us?"
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to come up with this answer.
How could the plan fail if Carol was really alive? Not to mention being reduced to this situation.
Therefore, there is only one answer, Carol is already dead. The true identity of the 'Carol' who appeared in front of them now is the supreme god of the Skrull clan - the Infinite Slegurt!
"What do you want to do? Answer my question!"
Vision was aggressive, with a rare flash of anger and hatred in his eyes.
Carol...oh, no, we should call her Slugourt now, with a look of loneliness, regret, anger and other complex emotions on her face, and she let out a long sigh.
"Revenge? Guilt? Regret? Hatred? Maybe...all of them."
Slegurt asked and answered himself, shook his head bitterly, and sighed softly: "Whether you believe it or not, I only have one idea now, and that is to escort you to that place, just as... It’s a small amount of compensation.”
Hearing these words, anger appeared on Black Widow's face, and she couldn't control herself and shouted: "You have no right to say this!"
"I know, I am not qualified to say such things... After all, all of this happened because of me."
Slegurt nodded and said calmly: "But you have no choice, whether you believe it or not."
As she spoke, she looked into the distance and murmured: "Without my help, it would be almost impossible for you two to reach that place."
As if to confirm her words, the sky suddenly thundered.
Rumble——!
It's as red as blood and as thick as pulp.
The sea of blood roared and set off huge waves, impacting the huge ice layer where they were.
Among the rolling waves, ferocious human faces emerged, appearing and disappearing from time to time, looking strange and terrifying.
The dark clouds that covered the sky gathered together and surged. As the hurricane roared, streaks of thunder emerged from the clouds. The thick lightning beams were like a sky-swallowing python, roaring thousands of miles away.
The tornadoes that crisscrossed the sky and the earth were so powerful that they seemed to be destroying the sky and the earth, and violent storms came one after another.
Indescribable emotions surged in Slegurt's heart. She raised her eyes and looked at the sky over Antarctica. The world seemed to be destroyed, and she felt deeply uneasy.
There was an extremely depressing atmosphere in the fierce wind, which was as sharp as a knife.
"It's time for us to go."
Slegurt took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Be prepared, this journey... I'm afraid it won't be that simple."
Even without her words, Vision could have predicted something from that terrifying scene.
"There... there is a voice, calling me."
Black Widow put her head with one hand, her face looked a little strange, and her eyes were blurred: "There is no time, it... is coming soon, we must reach that place before then."
"Time is running out?"
Hearing this, Vision showed a puzzled look: "What do you mean? What do you mean there is no time? Who is it? Natasha...are you okay?"
Slugult, on the other hand, showed a thoughtful expression.
Could it be...a bold idea suddenly appeared in the back of my mind.
Immediately afterwards, Slegurt was slightly shocked, a touch of excitement appeared in his eyes, and he almost couldn't control his breath.
"Time is running out......"
Black Widow murmured to herself, as if she had lost her soul, and walked stiffly and mechanically towards the depths of Antarctica.
"Natasha? What's wrong with you?" Vision was just about to stop Black Widow, but was pulled by Slugultur on the side, and he glared angrily: "Damn it, let me go, you didn't see that she is not normal ?"
"No matter what the answer is, we really don't have time."
Slegurt pointed at the roaring sea of blood around him and said calmly: "That thing is eroding Antarctica, and soon it will become like other places. No matter why it became like this, we have to do it." There was only one thing, and that was... to protect her and get to that area."
"This is...humanity's last hope."
"Now, are you sure you want to stop her and waste this last precious time and opportunity?"
Slegurt's voice was cold, and his eyes were like knives, piercing into Vision's heart.
Stop Natasha?
No...not only cannot stop it, but also let it go, protect it, witness it, and wait for it.
The future of mankind depends on one person.
It's not difficult to decide which one is more important.
Vision slowly closed his eyes and sighed bitterly: "I... understand."
