They were destined yet apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you been well these seventy years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain America sat by the bed, held Carter’s hand, and asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So-so. I’ve at least given my youth to this country. It just seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. is having some problems now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peggy Carter wasn’t completely in the dark; she still had some means to obtain intelligence from S.H.I.E.L.D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell me more about S.H.I.E.L.D.? It feels familiar yet strange to me, and certain operational methods give me a very uneasy feeling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of what S.H.I.E.L.D. had become, as one of its founders, Carter certainly knew more about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steve, are you trying to say that S.H.I.E.L.D.’s way of doing things is somewhat like HYDRA?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peggy Carter understood instantly what Captain America was trying to convey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, it makes me very uneasy. Some people have approached me with the intent of recruiting me to join certain factions, giving me a very bad feeling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain America nodded, sharing everything he had seen and heard since waking up, pouring it all out to Peggy Carter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Peggy Carter explained a few things to him and told him about the origins of S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as the Project Paperclip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Ms. Carter, are you willing to stand with me again in battle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their conversation brought many issues to light, making them realize the tremendous upheaval within S.H.I.E.L.D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, Captain America had lost trust in S.H.I.E.L.D. He had basically confirmed that those approaching him were undercover infiltrators from other forces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a great possibility that they were the resurrected HYDRA!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Captain America looked solemnly at Peggy Carter, the only one he could fully trust as a lover and warrior, and spoke seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did Nick Fury give you the Life Span Potion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peggy Carter’s face carried a faint smile as she asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard he got it through a deal with someone named Mo Qingchen. Not only the Life Span Potion but also a version of the Super Soldier Serum with reduced side effects and weakened effect. When he acquired them, he left a copy for me immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the current Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury, Captain America had a slightly complex feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was some trust, but not complete trust; it was a soldier’s sixth sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sense appeared very suddenly, especially when facing Nick Fury, sometimes on and off. That was one reason why Captain America tried not to interact with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this situation, of course, was a pit that Nick Fury dug for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He worked with aliens, occasionally having them impersonate him to hold the fort in S.H.I.E.L.D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a seasoned battlefield veteran like Captain America, a reinforced Super Soldier, his detection skills were incredibly acute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a slight off vibe could trigger his vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like Little Nick had his eye on me for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peggy Carter had long since retired. Most of her old friends in life had passed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now there were few she held dear: her young niece, Tony Stark, and Steve Rogers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The niece was her only relative and had also joined S.H.I.E.L.D., which now posed some danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark, now reformed, no longer the playboy like his father, had become Iron Man, putting her at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Captain America left a slight longing in her heart. She hadn’t expected to see him again when her life was drawing to a close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let me experience what it’s like to become a Super Soldier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peggy Carter smiled faintly, watching as Steve took out two syringes and injected them into her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the liquid flowed into her veins, a cool and warm sensation spread throughout her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once withered vitality was reactivated at that moment, and the cells, which had grown old, began to rejuvenate under the potion’s stimulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a pretty good feeling. My body has regained vitality and power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally aged visage began to slowly rejuvenate under the restoration of the Life Span Potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she looked in her nineties before, now she appeared only in her sixties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t enough; as the weakened version of the Super Soldier Serum took effect, further changes occurred in Peggy Carter’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once desiccated body gradually regained fullness and seductive curves, and even the old skin tightened, with even her graying hair gradually returning to a golden hue under the Super Soldier Serum’s alteration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her appearance had changed from over sixty to looking in her forties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she still appeared somewhat mature, it looked far more pleasing than the elderly appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, Captain America found the now thoroughly ripened Peggy Carter to be somewhat enthralling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a video call from Nick Fury was projected directly in front of Captain America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steve, you really managed to persuade Ms. Peggy Carter. I now formally invite you and Ms. Carter to join the Avenger Initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need your strength to investigate the situation inside S.H.I.E.L.D. and also to tackle some external supernatural forces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the sly Nick Fury allow Captain America to run amok?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before Captain America had awakened, Fury had secretly arranged for a tracker to be installed inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among the various high-tech gadgets provided to Captain America, there were naturally some communication tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the current video projection equipment was secretly installed on the watch given to Captain America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You had people monitoring us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Ms. Peggy Carter is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. We’ve had people from S.H.I.E.L.D. around her for protection. They just didn’t intervene when you entered her room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick Fury shamelessly deceived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, Captain, you should take a look at these intelligence reports. I need your help to clean out all those issues within S.H.I.E.L.D.!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some gathered intelligence data was displayed directly via video projection in front of Captain America and Carter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems S.H.I.E.L.D. already had big problems before Little Nick took over, and I have reason to believe that Alexander Pierce is definitely one of those in the know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the strength within her, which far exceeded her physical prime, Peggy Carter’s eyes flashed with an extremely cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>S.H.I.E.L.D. was her creation, and now with major issues arising within, she had a duty to eliminate these rats!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steve, let’s go. Before dealing with those rats, let’s first check out that Titan Giant Beast, the Octopus Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter’s expression was solemn, especially after seeing the intelligence on the Titan Giant Beast, particularly the images of the Octopus Brother enjoying a lavish feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t seeing it for the first time; she had known about the Emperor Organization decades ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What worried her more was whether this Octopus Brother would awaken another dormant Titan Giant Beast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the two of them were to pair up, it was uncertain whether they’d fight to the death or join forces and turn the place into a no-man’s land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that the Emperor Organization back then had several known slumbering spots for Titan Giant Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, a few were located within America’s borders; if they awakened together, it would surely cause immense disaster for humanity!\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-06-06T14:58:24.272Z",1,"novelbin.me","68902c79075c22e74299529f531c9666edba9172aa822e1957d3efa57ea5255c","beast-taming-abyssal-descent-chapter-361","beast-taming-abyssal-descent-chapter-359",623,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-abyssal-descent-cover.jpg"]
