Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

Chapter 26 The Strongest Avenger?

The group, already racing against time, did not want to waste a single moment.

Zemo volunteered to stay behind at the raft prison, while also giving up a usable warship to carry everyone toward the sea.

Standing atop the dome where a massive hole had been punched, Zemo gazed at the gradually disappearing shadows in the distance, while behind him, countless temporary technicians were welding and repairing the damage.

"They'll be alright, just wait for news," someone comforted them.

Zemo nodded.

To ensure a safe journey to New Asgard, everyone followed Hanlu's advice and only allowed those with superhuman abilities to accompany them.

Therefore, in addition to John and Cold Dew, the team also included Kamala, Moon Knight, and Shang-Chi.

The Red Guards, whose strength relied almost entirely on the Tiger Talisman, were forced to stay.

Seeing the "facepalm" Shang-Chi gave him, he was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

Why can Shang Qi go, and even the Death Merchant can go along, but I can't?

Katie was equally annoyed. She felt she could help, gripping her bow and arrow tightly, and for the first time felt that her hard-earned archery skills were so useless.

"Alright, let's go back. We still need to boost morale."

Zemo offered some advice, as he always found it somewhat difficult to get along with the Red Guards.

The Red Guard gave a helpless snort, turned around, and left.

Icarus stands above the raft prison.

Even if there are zombies capable of aerial combat, leaving Icarus alone is enough to handle the entire situation, which is why Hanlu dared to send out all her forces.

He even included Kamala in his team to draw all their attention, and at the same time, he wanted to see for himself what that crazy woman was up to.

Fortunately, the raft prison was moving quite fast and was currently located at the northern end of the Atlantic Ocean.

The remaining warships, empowered by the Rabbit and Chicken Talismans, transformed into floating warships, with the crew flying through the air at airplane-like speeds, resembling a group of aerial acrobats.

Upon arrival at their destination, everyone on board couldn't help but lean on the gunwale to catch their breath; even John's legs felt a little unsteady.

Only the seasoned Death Merchant remained remarkably calm—

Of course, he would never say that he had used the snake charm on the way, and that his feet had kept in contact with the deck the whole time, which was why he was not thrown off.

After disembarking from the boat, Hanlu felt a little unwell, but after suppressing the nausea in her stomach with the Dog Talisman, she used the power of the Chicken Talisman to fly to a high place.

He looked at the pile of rubble scattered on the ground, as if someone had just tossed it there.

The silver metallic stone seemed to have been dormant there for a long time, yet it still shone with a star-like luster, and the clear ring patterns on it exuded an indescribable solemnity and dignity.

"Those are fragments of a weapon that once belonged to Thor."

Hanlu turned her head and saw that the Moonlight Blade had appeared behind her at some point.

This companion, blessed with the Rabbit Talisman, is perhaps the only one who can keep up with his movements.

"I have a bold idea, I wonder if it's possible to..."

Hanlu thought his idea was crazy, but he felt that it might give him more confidence for the next move, and might even bring Thor back to their side.

Moonlight Blade remained silent for a few seconds before giving a vague answer: "Some things can't be forced. All we can do is try our best."

Hanlu pondered these words, her gaze still fixed on the pile of fragments: "Yes, sometimes, all we can do is try our best."

After a while, once everyone had recovered, led by Moonblade, the group headed towards New Asgard.

Perhaps influenced by the zombie universe crisis, Asgard during this period was not built in a small seaside village as usual, but was instead built in a huge mountain cliff.

Fortunately, with the renowned Moon Goddess guiding them, they didn't get lost.

As the group traversed a canyon filled with zombie thorns, a sharp spear suddenly appeared in their path, blocking their way.

"Halt! Who are you?"

In the shadows, a robust, black-clad Valkyrie surveyed the group of strange-looking creatures below—

There are humans, "monsters," and other beings whose nature is indescribable.

"Hello, we've come to seek Thor's help. We've brought a way to end all of this."

John took the lead again, loudly explaining their purpose.

Unfortunately, even though he had made many heroic achievements during this period, he was still a stranger in the eyes of this Valkyrie.

Just as Valkyrie was about to turn and leave, a different voice suddenly rang out: "Valkyrie, do you still recognize me?"

The Valkyrie, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and looked back at the huge raven phantom circling above them. The phantom's head was wrapped in countless white bandages, which floated around, making it look like a mummy that had jumped out of a coffin.

The Valkyrie's expression instantly became incredibly complex, showing both the joy of reuniting with an old friend and a hint of something more.

She leaped from a great height, revealing her well-defined muscles, making one wonder if she was still purely human.

"Oh, so your bird head is still alive."

"That's natural. Now, do we have the right to go in?"

Don't tell me that after living for thousands of years, I'm not even considered a god anymore.

"Alright, alright, you ugly creatures, you can come in."

John stood there, somewhat stunned, while Shang Qi, without any hesitation, moved closer to Han Lu: "Uh, is this woman crazy? Who is she talking to?"

In truth, Hanlu knew that she was probably conversing with the hidden Moon Goddess, but even now, he couldn't directly see that strange being; he could only sense a special cosmic energy condensing and taking shape before him.

This is why he can't help but look up.

"Never mind all that, just consider it a way the gods are greeting us. Anyway, we can go in now," Hanlu whispered.

John has an exceptional ability to adjust his mindset. When he saw the Valkyrie turn around and wave at them, he took the lead and slowly followed.

As the tall, sturdy stone city gate slowly opened, the group filed in. Countless tall and majestic statues stood on both sides of the passage, and the mysterious tree-like style made them feel as if they had entered some ancient temple.

Unlike the others, Hanlu didn't look up or glance around; her unease grew stronger.

He understood that he would eventually have to confront that being.

He clutched the dragon talisman and the rooster talisman tightly in his hands. These were the things that gave him the most sense of security at the moment, but were they really enough?

Anyone who knows even a little about the Chaos Witch's record of slaughtering the Illuminati in another universe will understand just how terrifying her power is.

Even the actress herself has publicly stated that Scarlet Witch has become one of the most powerful female heroes in the entire Marvel Universe.

Hanlu took a deep breath and reached for the stone behind her.

At least, besides the witch, the most powerful Avengers are here, aren't they?
