"Then there's nothing more to do." Kyle smiled mysteriously, after making the decision, it was a lot easier for Kyle to proceed. His face became relaxed and there was a sense of confidence in his smile.
Kyle decided: "Before the train hits the turn, I will signal us to jump. Steve, you will take the hostage and jump down the cliff with us."
"Jumping? From this high?" Fury looked at Kyle strangely, still confused. The bottom of the valley did not have a deep enough water source, but a small, hard, frozen river.
The chance of hitting the river was already small with all the sharp ledges, making Fury doubt Kyle's confidence in the plan.
"You don't believe me? Then I will jump alone, good luck in the afterlife." Kyle shrugged when he heard Fury.
"Motherfucker, you told us to jump, I was gonna jump with or without you. Just don't get yourself killed on the way down." Fury told Kyle, without asking questions.
...
They all trusted each other, except the doctor. The hostage on the other hand was very nervous, praying to every religion he could think of before he would be forced to jump from a train into a steep valley.
It would only take a dozen seconds before the train derailed at the high speed. When the train with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour was reaching the end railway before the turn, Steve could not help but squint his eyes when he saw the bright sun.
It was a sun that radiated from the fresh snow and reminded Steve that he should appreciate these things more if he survived.
At the same time, the train also violently trembled, and some wheels burst completely under the pressure of the increasing speed!
Kyle looked at everyone and thought, 'Shit!'
Under the excessive force from the acceleration, the whistling train suddenly detached from the railroad track and derailed. Everyone was jumping up and down the cabin trying to stabilize themself.
The train was unhinging until it started rushing over a suspended cliff.
The cold wind is encrusted with snowflakes, and it is madly poured into the carriage, and the weight loss of the train is about to fall.
"Everyone! Jump down!" Kyle's words had barely finished.
They jumped off the train with their teeth clenched tight. Everyone felt time slow down, but it was just the adrenaline.
Steve didn't want to think about it. He took the hostage, resolutely followed Nick, and jumped out of the train, falling hundreds of meters.
...
The air felt like a knife, slicing their skin without leaving visible marks. The cold numbed their fingers and the tips of their nose.
Falling only amplified the freezing feeling on their faces.
Hundreds of meters from the bottom of the glacier valley, the four fell quickly against the cold wind and snowfall. The train carts not far away burst into the side of the mountain with an explosion.
Kyle felt time slow down, 'The Super Soldier's physique is only the strength range in which perfect humans can reach. The range of this deadly crisis is 200-350 times that of normal humans' capabilities! Good thing I have been holding an ace.'
...
High-altitude falling was making everyone terrified, this would be a mortal situation.
Before jumping out of the carriage, everyone couldn't understand the means of escape in such a situation. Even Steve and Fury were doubting Kyle as they fell closer to the frozen ground.
But Steve did not hesitate to jump, because Kyle from the training base constantly created miracles.
Steve looked over at Kyle, hoping to find reassurance in Kyle's confident gaze once more. It was a gaze that sparked passion and pride, something Steve felt he desperately needed.
"Kyle! If we make it out of this, I'm gon-- Wait! What?!" Steve looked over and saw Kyle with his eyes closed. It was the same face someone who has accepted death makes.
Steve started sweating while falling thinking, 'Oh Peggy... It seems this is the end for me...'
At this moment, the glacier mountains with a height of about 10,000 meters had almost disappeared completely. Now all they could see was the ground, as they were less than 1000 meters from the ground.
Kyle knew he needed to save the others.
...
"...This will be too cringy."
While Kyle's eyes were shut, he muttered a phrase in the harsh wind that no one could hear.
"And no marvel; for even Satan fashions himself into an angel of light."
"I bite the fruit from Eden, grant me the knowledge to speak to the Unlawful Angel."
Kyle felt his arms go numb for a moment. He felt like he was about to enter a world he should not step inside. A world that was completely different from his own.
Kyle's eyes started to go bloodshot, but then nonstop messages appeared, making his vision return to normal:
- {Error}[Abnormal Energy Signatures Detected] : Satan's Influence (Rare Purple Item Card.)
- [Unlimited Void] : Blocking negative effects of Satan's Influence.
- {Error}[Abnormal Energy Signatures Detected] : Layers of the Red Door (Rare Purple Domain Card.)
- [Unlimited Void] : Slightly mitigating negative effects from Layers of the Red Door
- {Error}[Abnormal Energy Signatures Detected] : Mystical Deal (Purple Ability Card.)
- [Unlimited Void] : Blocking negative effects of Mystical Deal.
...
This place Kyle was entering was no other than one of the levels of Hell. The level right before the deepest level of hell. A place that Kyle could only enter with the use of his Mystical Devil.
==================
...
A few hours later, in the snow of the valley.
Four large figures wearing thick coats were unconscious, laying in the snow. They did not have any injuries and were breathing, but slept in the snow regardless.
"Where am I? What happened?" Seeing the sky's clouds gather, one figure who just woke with confusion asked around with no answers. He instantly noticed the clouds forming a storm.
This was Steve Rogers, a man who was a Super Soldier.
"What's going on?" Another woke up and asked strangely, his eyes closed. This was Nick Fury, the man who was looking too at the shadows formed from the clouds.
"We survived. " Kyle said to the others, before waking up the doctor. Everyone was shocked and looked back at the sun, realizing it had been a few hours.
Steve was a bit embarrassed and hesitated: "How did we live? Even half of that height was too much even for me."
Kyle sat on the rock next to them and said, "Before we started the mission, I scoped the landscape and noticed the snow here is deep enough that a falling bowling ball wouldn't break. Since we were all in a correct freefalling position while jumping, it mitigated the damage we took."
"I have never seen such cautiousness." Fury knew that he was out of danger and relaxed. He stood up and said with a smile: "Also, we should start heading north to the meeting point."
"I agree," Kyle responded to Fury. Kyle seemed to try to recall what happened from his memory of the fall, but could not remember, 'I was going to teleport to Hell using the Mystical Devil to save the others by making a deal with a devil, but can't recall anything. I just remember a few Card messages and then everything is blank. Whatever, I'm sure the past me made the right decision.'
"Ok. Let's go." Steve nodded and took the doctor over his shoulders.
When Steve said this, Kyle looked at his wrist to check the time on his watch and noticed two things. First, he was missing the fingernails on his left hand, it was completely painless and was regenerating slowly.
The second was a small tattoo on Kyle's wrist he didn't have before. It was something that made him smirk.
The tattoo had five words: 'Others. Safety. Trade. Devil. Nails.'
Kyle stroked the tattoo on the top of his wrist, before noticing his right hand was also missing fingernails.
They were all regenerating much slower than usual. Kyle thought, 'My nails should be back in a couple of hours anyway. I will hide the appearance of my nails and tattoo. I will get rid of the tattoo later. Thank you past me, I never doubted you to make a good decision.'
"Now that I think about it, I think I feel my toenails are gone too." Kyle simply said this randomly away from the others. When he gets back home, he will research his nullification of pain later. For now, Kyle will alter his appearance to not raise any suspicion.
Kyle jokingly thought to himself, 'I might be turning into a mini Deadpool from all the pain from the transformations.'
