In this way, unnecessary battles with them could be avoided, and time could be saved as well.
Suddenly, a laser beam shot across in front of them, stopping their advance. The laser sliced a crack straight into the ground before them all. You know, the floors of an airport are heavily reinforced. What kind of power was this?
If that laser hit Captain America, even he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't be injured, at least a little. Everyone looked up and saw Vision floating in midair.
"Captain Rogers."
"I know you're doing what you think is right~."
"But for the sake of the collective—"
At that moment, Tony arrived, wearing his Mark armor and bringing Black Widow, Natasha, with him.
"You must surrender!"
As Vision finished speaking, the Iron Patriot descended from the sky alongside Black Panther. Black Panther executed a beautiful flipping landing and stood firmly on the ground.
At the same time, a long strand of webbing swung in, and little Spider-Man made a dazzling entrance.
At this point, on both sides of the laser dividing line, all the fighters representing the two camps were in position.
On one side was the Iron Man civil servant team, representing the government's authority: little Spider-Man, Black Widow, Vision, Black Panther, and Iron Patriot. On the other side was the non-civil servant team, representing resistance against the government—the Captain America team: Bucky, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Falcon, and Scarlet Witch.
"Captain, what are we going to do?"
Seeing the menacing lineup on the other side, Bucky turned to Captain America.
"Fight them!"
Captain America clenched his teeth, radiating dominance, and charged forward without hesitation.
"There should be good results."
Watching Captain America advance step by step, Natasha frowned unwillingly. But things had already come to this point, so she could only grit her teeth and move forward.
The two teams quickly closed the distance between them, breaking into a full run.
Which one of these people wasn't a master fighter? Even without flashy techniques, they all possessed outstanding super abilities. Once a fight was chosen, you had to commit fully. That was a fighter's creed. Running, too, was simply a way to fight better.
"They don't seem to be stopping?"
Little Spider-Man said the most amusing thing with the most serious expression.
"Neither are we."
As the leader, Iron Man would never admit defeat before the fight even began.
In an instant, three members of the civil servant team lifted off, taking control of the airspace. On the opposing side, Falcon and Scarlet Witch also rose into the air.
…
A muffled clang rang out as Captain America's star-spangled shield was struck.
The first clash was between Iron Man and Captain America. After all, as the two leaders, they were bound to face each other.
Boom…
Black Panther slammed a punch into Bucky, sending him crashing to the ground.
Scarlet Witch was even more direct. She manipulated her chaos magic, grabbing a nearby car and smashing it hard toward little Spider-Man. Fortunately, Spider-Man was agile enough—he fired webbing rapidly, bouncing and leaping by stepping off the car.
Meanwhile, Hawkeye and Black Widow found themselves in an awkward situation. They had been comrades-in-arms for many years, fighting side by side countless times, and neither of them could truly bring themselves to go all out.
Still, when Natasha punched Hawkeye in the chest, Hawkeye struck back, then threw her to the ground with a backward slam.
"Hey, hey, we're still good friends, right?"
Pinned beneath Hawkeye, Natasha smiled up at him as she spoke.
"That depends on how hard you hit me."
Hawkeye replied with a bit of humor.
However, a woman's words are often unreliable. Sure enough, Natasha—despite being under Hawkeye's control—suddenly locked her legs around his body and used her strength to fling him away. It wasn't over yet. In the next second, she kicked straight toward Hawkeye's head.
"Hiss… this feels like déjà vu."
Up in the air, Blaine grinned, remembering the first time he met Natasha in Stark Industries, when she was undercover as Tony's secretary. It was the same move back then—one that had nearly crushed Blaine's head.
Especially since, at the time, Natasha had been wearing a skirt. Blaine could still vividly remember the scene between her legs.
Just as Natasha's kick was about to land on Hawkeye's head, a red light flashed, instantly wrapping around her leg. Before she could even see what had happened, her body was yanked violently and sent flying.
"Ow."
"Ugh."
After all, he was still mortal. Even a highly trained elite agent would be hurt when slammed to the ground that hard.
Hawkeye turned his head to look at Scarlet Witch, who had just intervened, his expression oddly innocent, as if asking what that was about.
"You were holding back."
Scarlet Witch shot him a cold look and moved on, throwing herself back into the chaos of battle.
Nearby, Bucky and Black Panther were also locked in a fierce exchange.
After all, Bucky was a super-soldier who had fought in World War II and undergone extremely rigorous training. In terms of pure combat skill, he still held a clear edge over Black Panther.
From Blaine's observation, if Black Panther weren't wearing his suit, he probably wouldn't last more than ten or twenty minutes against Bucky.
Watching Bucky's fighting techniques, Blaine unconsciously activated his Copy Eyes. The five-pointed star in his pupils slowly rotated as he tried to analyze Bucky's movements.
Unfortunately, Bucky's techniques were pure combat skills, not magic.
Even so, Blaine studied them seriously. Although he had learned the world's top-level gymnastics from the system mall, that knowledge came from books. Even though he had integrated it well, it still couldn't compare to real combat experience.
Moreover, observing others was the best way to discover his own shortcomings and improve faster.
Besides, no book could possibly contain every skill in the world. Battles were always filled with uncertainty, and any unexpected variable could determine victory or defeat. So Blaine wasn't just floating in midair watching the show. This was learning… (Even Blaine himself probably didn't believe that.)
Just as Blaine was carefully observing Bucky's movements—
Suddenly, Bucky feinted to draw Black Panther's attention away, then snapped his metal arm upward and seized Black Panther by the neck. Just like when he had choked Natasha in S.H.I.E.L.D.—now it was happening again.
Caught at a critical disadvantage, Black Panther retreated hastily, trying to break free from Bucky's grip. At the same time, he raised his legs to block Bucky's attack. Both sides fell into a deadlock…
