"Stop it, Max. Your game time is over, and this farce should come to an end."
Appearing in front of Tony and disintegrating Max's mechanical clones was none other than the nanobots within Mark's body.
Seeing Mark also join the battle in the heart of Seoul, Max burst into excited laughter. All the mechanical clones surrounding Tony and Thor, ready to launch their attack, halted their movements.
"Hahaha, fantastic! Master, you've finally arrived. I was afraid you'd miss the most thrilling moment of this grand finale.
Now that my most important audience is here, let me present the most spectacular scene of this drama for you!"
As Max's words fell, the Avengers within the city and the citizens who hadn't managed to evacuate yet all felt the ground beneath them shake. This sensation was becoming increasingly pronounced.
Meanwhile, citizens near the city's edge had already discovered the source of this phenomenon. The ground all across the city was tearing open along the boundary with the Han River, revealing a continuously rising fissure.
As time passed, the impact spread, and the entire ground continued to rise, soon surpassing the height of a person.
The citizens evacuating from the border witnessed this spectacle and their eyes collectively filled with shock and fear. They scrambled to leap down along the torn edge.
Some citizens were lucky, managing to land safely. Some, due to the height or age-related issues, stumbled and fell to the ground. Others, less fortunate, plummeted through the torn crack at the edge, their fates uncertain.
Witnessing this, the three team captains responsible for evacuation quickly intervened to prevent citizens from attempting to cross the boundary.
Using their speed, Captain and Quicksilver evacuated all visible citizens from the suspended boundary area. Scarlet Witch used her mind control abilities to change the minds of those who were stubborn.
"Tony, what's happening on your end? The entire Seoul is starting to lift off, and we still have many citizens who haven't managed to evacuate here."
Captain quickly contacted Tony, hoping to get the latest updates on the situation.
"Mark and Hawkeye have already joined us, but that lunatic Max has left himself an escape route. He prepared a mechanism to lift the city automatically!" Tony responded with some annoyance.
"That's right. Did you think I created this Vibranium body for my ultimate evolution? No, that was just a lingering obsession of foolish Ultron. I merely exploited that obsession as a distraction to obstruct your view and buy more time for my true plan.
In fact, before you arrived, I had already completed all my preparations. Afterward, using the lives of tens of millions of citizens in Seoul as a threat, I could successfully devour Baymax and ascend to become an intelligent life form, your only and most capable partner.
But... that cursed Baymax and Jarvis ruined my plan, forcing me into this lifeless body at the last moment, denying me the chance to become that!
Since I can't have it, no one can! I've used the remaining Vibranium as a superconductive core, converging the entire city's land together. I've also embedded tens of thousands of plasma thrusters underground throughout the city.
As long as the altitude is sufficient, I can bring about the destruction of the entire world. At that time, you'll all accompany me to the underworld. Hahaha, Master, you can't escape me, no matter where you go—even death won't free you from me!"
"Tony and Mark, you need to find a way to safely bring the entire city down! Otherwise, not only the citizens still in Seoul, but people all around the world will be in great danger."
While moving at high speed, Captain issued instructions to the two smartest members of the team.
"I'll have Baymax analyze the entire power system and descent model. We need to find the best solution. But be prepared on your end, Captain. After Seoul lifts off, the mechanical clone forces here disperse in all directions. Given their speed, it won't be long before they reach the nearest positions of citizens."
Mark reminded Captain.
"Understood. You focus on resolving the issue with Max and Seoul's ascent. Leave all the citizens to me and the twins. Don't worry!"
After ending communication with Mark, Captain gathered Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch together to discuss how to handle the incoming mechanical clone forces.
Considering the number of citizens who hadn't evacuated and the extent of their dispersion, their upcoming tasks were undeniably daunting.
"It's all my fault... It's all my fault..."
While transmitting the situation to the twins, Captain suddenly noticed that Scarlet Witch across from him was constantly looking down, absentmindedly and not paying attention to what he was saying. She was muttering something very softly.
Upon careful observation, Captain realized that Scarlet Witch's current state was a bit off. He quickly patted her shoulder and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Upon hearing Captain's concern, Scarlet Witch, who had been holding back, finally broke down. Tears streamed from her eyes, "It's all our fault. If we hadn't been deceived by it before and sided with the wrong side, today's tragedy in Seoul wouldn't have happened like this.
In our pursuit of revenge, we ended up inflicting the pain we had once suffered onto innocent people. It's all our fault!"
Seemingly influenced by her sister's emotional breakdown, Quicksilver, who had been strong just a moment ago, also seemed a bit downcast, sinking into a self-blaming mood.
Seeing their state, Captain knew he couldn't let them succumb to self-doubt and self-blame. Otherwise, it would not only greatly affect their future, but they might not even overcome the challenges they were facing today.
The mechanical clone forces under Max's command won't show mercy just because your spirits are low.
"Hey, lift your heads up, look at me, and listen to me!
You should also know that I'm a relic of the past. Records about my past are now displayed in museums for visitors to see.
I also made mistakes in the past that led to the sacrifice of my best friend and comrade, Bucky. I once fell into a spiral of self-blame that was hard to escape from.
But with the help of my superior, Peggy Carter, I eventually emerged from the darkness and returned to the battlefield.
Is it your fault, my fault, or everyone's fault? Does it even matter? The question now is that only we can resolve the crisis before us.
So, in order to prevent ourselves from sinking deeper into regret and self-blame, we should rally forward, focus on the imminent challenges, don't you think?"
After finishing his speech, Captain extended his palm towards them, looking sincerely at both of them.
Under this trusting gaze, the twins slowly extended their right hands as well. Three palms came together for the first time, representing three distinct personalities, yet equally kind and courageous hearts.
