Chapter 718: Captain Carter crawling over! (Second update, please subscribe!)

~7 min read 1,253 words

The clouds reflected the sunset, the sky was flushed like drunkenness, setting off the deepening twilight. The evening breeze carried a hint of coolness. As the twilight dyed the forest, leaves drifted with the wind. A kind of indescribable, poignant beauty arose spontaneously.

Illuminati base, dome.

Su Quan looked at the sky that had been restored by Mr. Fantastic, secretly praising in his heart. This first smartest person was indeed worthy of being the first smartest person. In less than half a day, he had actually used his smart brain and the power of technology to repair the destroyed universe.

Sure enough, for him, fighting and killing were just small troubles, and only disasters like the destruction of the universe were his opportunities to show his skills and shine.

It is said that the end of science is theology, no wonder he is called "Reed the God-stick"!

The sound of rolling came from near to far. Su Quan turned around and saw Captain Carter on the wheelchair with a tangled expression.

By the way, this wheelchair was Professor Charles's.

Although Professor Charles was sent back to the Illuminati base, before the battle, he gave instructions to the Ultron robots that once he was controlled or lost his self, the Ultron robots should kill him.

Senile dementia could also be considered a kind of losing one's self, so...

Out of respect for him and consideration for his reputation, the Illuminati announced to the outside world that Professor Charles died in battle!

This could also be considered dying of caution.

The instructions he gave to the Ultron robots were clearly worried that he would be controlled, thereby causing a huge disaster that could not be recovered...

Thinking of the destructive power and threat of another senile Professor Charles during his onset, one would know that his worry was not redundant.

If there was a button, and if you pressed it, all humans in the world would die, would you dare to hand this button to someone who had lost self-consciousness?

Wouldn't dare, right.

Professor Charles wouldn't dare either!

"Great, omnipotent Lord of the Void, controller of the multiverse timeline, can... can you heal my injuries?"

Captain Carter struggled for a moment, wanting to speak but stopping, and finally threw away her face and dignity, saying the rhetoric the Wasp had given her.

Her injuries had healed seven or eight out of ten, only the injury to her lumbar spine could not be self-healed or treated. She had asked Mr. Fantastic, and with the current means, the best result was only to restore walking ability, and it was impossible to fight others like before.

Then.

She thought of the Lord of the Void...

Su Quan turned back, looking at the night that had already descended, and asked calmly and indifferently: "What can you give me?"

Captain Carter was overjoyed, but then felt dejected. She had no bargaining chips to exchange.

"I, I don't know, or... what do you want? As long as I can restore my past, I am willing to do anything, and I can abandon anything!"

As long as she could recover, she was willing to pay any price.

Su Quan was noncommittal and said lightly: "If I let you kill Mr. Fantastic and destroy the Illuminati?"

Captain Carter’s body stiffened. She asked hesitantly, "Why? You... didn't you save this world? Mr. Fantastic and the others haven't offended you again, so why..."

"If you want me to heal you, you must work for me. You will do whatever I tell you to do. It has nothing to do with Mr. Fantastic or the Illuminati, and nothing to do with justice or evil."

"What I want... is obedience."

Su Quan did not have much interest in Captain Carter; after all, he already had a Captain Peggy of the same model, and he also disliked the pride and arrogance ingrained in the members of the Illuminati.

If Captain Carter passed the test, he would take her in as a piece on the board. If she failed the test, she could honestly go eat her boxed lunch and retire from the combat sequence.

"As long as you kill Mr. Fantastic and destroy the Illuminati, I will not only heal your injuries, but I will also make you even more powerful, and even..."

"I can even make you the only Captain in the multiverse!"

Su Quan's voice seemed to possess a magical power, constantly urging Captain Carter, who stood on the edge of the cliff, to jump.

To remain a cripple forever?

Or to become stronger and become the only Captain in the multiverse?

The teetering Captain Carter had many thoughts. She thought of her miserable life as a cripple, and the injustice that she was disabled while Mr. Fantastic remained unscathed...

They participated in the battle together, so why were you unharmed, became a hero who saved the world, and became the core and leader of the Illuminati, while I had to retire from the front lines and become a cripple in a wheelchair who couldn't even take care of herself?

This is unfair!!!

The scales in Captain Carter's heart had gradually begun to tilt...

"I..." Captain Carter took a deep breath, having made her decision. "I will not kill Mr. Fantastic, nor will I destroy the Illuminati!"

Su Quan raised an eyebrow and asked indifferently, "You don't want to recover your health anymore?"

"I do!"

"But this is my own affair. I can sacrifice everything of my own, but I will not sacrifice others, and I certainly won't use the sacrifice of others as a price to seek profit for myself!"

"Even if you remain a cripple?"

"Even if I am a cripple, I am still Captain Carter!"

Captain Carter's reply was sonorous and powerful, extremely firm.

Su Quan smiled with an unreadable expression and reached out to point at the ground in front of him.

"Crawl over here."

"Wh-what?"

Captain Carter hadn't reacted in time and was somewhat dazed.

"Didn't you say you could sacrifice everything of your own? Crawl over here, beg your deity, make a wish to your deity, and trade your eternal loyalty for the deity's grace, so that you may be reborn from the ashes."

Captain Carter had passed Su Quan's test, because the content of the test was not obedience at all, but loyalty!

If Captain Carter could kill Mr. Fantastic and destroy the Illuminati for her own sake today, then there was no guarantee that one day she wouldn't betray him for other reasons!

Su Quan had many ways to enhance others' strength and make them obey his orders, but obedience did not mean loyalty, nor did it mean they wouldn't betray him.

In Captain Carter, what Su Quan valued more was not obedience, but loyalty!

Of course, if it were someone else, it would vary from person to person, teaching according to their aptitude. After all, people are different, and Su Quan's requirements for them are also different!

"Thump!"

Captain Carter fell from her wheelchair. Looking somewhat disheveled, she crawled forward step by step. Although she only had the strength of her upper limbs, her speed was not slow.

Crawling to the position designated by Su Quan, Captain Carter raised her head to look at Su Quan, prayed devoutly, and made her wish.

Su Quan placed his hand on the top of her head. Following her voice, a gale suddenly rose, and an invisible, mysterious power filled the wind, filling the space between Su Quan and Captain Carter.
