With a mid-air snap-kick, he sent Steve hurtling back toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve hit the earth back-first but scrambled to his feet instantly, dropping into a defensive stance. \"You said you wanted to play a game. What the hell do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hovering in mid-air, Alex smiled. \"It’s just a game! I’ll give you one minute. If you can defeat me within that time, the lady agent lives. If not... she dies a miserable death. What do you think? Fun game, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of pure disgust crossed Steve’s face. \"You call wagering human lives fun?\" He roared, raising both arms to fire a dual repulsor blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex raised his left arm, his flesh instantly shifting into the shape of a shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the explosion cleared, Alex was untouched. Steve gritted his teeth, realizing this bastard was becoming increasingly difficult to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sneered and pointed to the side. \"Look! Our stakes have arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve turned his head. There stood A-Train outside the barrier, smirking. At his feet lay Natasha—battered, bloodied, and barely clinging to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t make it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mixed with his regret, a surge of fury rose in Steve. \"You people...\" He wanted to scream. But he caught himself; screaming to them was a waste of breath. These lunatics didn’t care about anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha...\" Alex laughed triumphantly. \"Now, it seems you have no choice but to play along.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve’s expression darkened. He was in turmoil. The Joker Organization had zero credibility. Even if he played this sick game, how could he guarantee Alex would keep his word?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When has a man like you ever kept his word?\" Steve questioned. \"If you lose and get pissed off, what’s to stop you from tearing up the deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was referring to that day a year ago. Back then, they had promised to spare Peggy and Sharon if he didn’t resist. And yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Alex replied with shameless confidence. \"Last time, the game was just between the two of us; I could change the rules whenever I wanted. But this time, my friend is watching. I won’t go back on my word, or I’d be the laughingstock of the organization for the rest of my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve glanced between the two of them, weighing the truth of that statement. According to SHIELD records, the Joker Organization wasn’t a monolith; there was significant infighting and factionalism among the top executives. If Alex reneged in front of a peer, it would be a permanent stain his rivals could use against him. The logic, at least, held up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve hated the idea of this game, but with Natasha’s life in their hands, he had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine! I’ll do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent!\" Alex grinned. He turned to A-Train. \"One minute. Start the clock!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Train tapped the comms unit on his wrist. \"OK. Countdown ready!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex and Steve cleared their minds, entering a state of total combat focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three! Two! One! GO!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the words left A-Train’s mouth, they both lunged. Alex fused two forms together; his hammer-like fists sprouted three razor-sharp claws as he dove from above. Steve ignited his boot thrusters to meet him, raising his shield with his left arm while charging a repulsor in his right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fist met shield in mid-air, a shower of sparks erupting between them. Alex’s strength far exceeded Steve’s; after a brief stalemate, the claws began to overpower the shield. Steve couldn’t hold the weight with a single arm, and the three claws slashed into his shoulder armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex brought his wicked face close to Steve’s, mocking him. \"The armor gives you firepower and flight, but it limits your strength and agility. Trading the forest for a single tree, aren’t we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a grunt, Alex drove the claws another ten centimeters deep, tearing through skin and muscle until they wedged into Steve’s shoulder blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh...\" Steve’s face contorted in pain. He wrenched his right arm up, aiming his palm directly at Alex. A massive, overcharged repulsor blast fired point-blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Saw that coming!\" Alex laughed maniacally, his other hand shifting into a shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blast left a deep scorch mark on the biomass shield, but it failed to penetrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! I take it back—your firepower isn’t actually that—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Alex could finish, Steve’s palm snapped into a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZZZT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A searing red laser beam sliced downward across the shield. Seconds later, the shield was sheared in half, and Alex’s left arm was severed from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this firepower enough for you?\" Steve snarled through gritted teeth, firing another repulsor blast that punched a hole straight through Alex’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agh!\" Alex gasped, coughing up a mouthful of blood. The sheer agony caused his body to seize up, and the grip of his right claw weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve seized the opening, ripped his left arm free, and aimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield launched like a missile, decapitating Alex. His head and body flew in different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell, you son of a bitch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a surge of pure catharsis, Steve followed up with a barrage of repulsor shots, blasting Alex’s body into the electrical barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BZZZZZZT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying sound of high-voltage current filled the air as Alex was scorched into a blackened husk before falling to the ground. Steve clutched his bleeding shoulder, chest heaving, staring with bloodshot eyes at the charred lump of coal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the barrier, A-Train and Natasha were stunned. One move had decided the outcome—was the gap in power really that large?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the initial shock, Natasha was filled with joy. \"We won! Let me go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Train let out a disdainful snort. \"Let you go? It’s far too early for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You gave your word!\" Natasha glared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Train said with a touch of pride, \"Don’t worry, my words are fine. But if you want to beat Alex, you’d better make sure you destroy every single cell in his body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fractures appeared on the surface of the charred husk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve moved fast—an EMP wave was already streaking toward the remains. At that moment, a strand of flesh whipped out from the severed head on the ground. It latched onto the charred body and yanked it back with violent force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The EMP hit the empty ground, blasting a massive crater. By then, the charred shell had shattered completely, and Alex Mercer stood up, perfectly whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up his head, snapped it back onto his neck, and gave a mock thumbs-up. \"Impressive. That firepower is no joke! What kind of special relationship do you have with Stark for him to give you a custom suit with such insane output?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve didn’t answer. He just stared, his face grim. As he had feared, Alex was a nightmare to deal with. Strong, fast, an expert fighter—and most importantly, he just wouldn’t stay dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read advance Chapters and view R-18 images of the characters on pat reon page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pat reon.com\u002FGreenBlue17\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>500 power stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top 100.
