In the face of absolute power, any defense is fragile.

Of the countless erased timelines, Red Skull came closest to victory when he launched a saturation nuclear strike before the Avengers arrived in Berlin aboard landing craft, directly destroying the target ship.

Furthermore, "Red Skull" came closest to victory: the terrifying power of the nuclear bomb killed everyone on Maria except for Xu Fu.

Even though time had been reversed, Red Skull still clearly remembered the scene when the other person's figure flew out from the center of the nuclear explosion.

It was this scene that plunged Red Skull into despair today.

...

"Already in Berlin"

Inside the Sky Helicarrier, as Natasha's voice rang out, Xu Fu subconsciously turned his head to look at the Dark Doctor.

"careful!"

As expected, the latter displayed a different emotion: he frowned nervously, as if thinking about something, then opened his mouth and announced softly to the people gathered on the boat.

"Be careful of what?"

Noticing Doctor Strange's reminder, Thor instinctively stopped walking towards the entrance of the passage and turned to ask.

"I have no idea..."

Doctor Strange shook his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression several times.

For some reason, he developed an inexplicable trust in the murmur in his ear, but at the same time, he was confused by the danger the voice spoke of.

He didn't know where the danger was, but he instinctively sensed that it was there.

"interesting"

Xu Fu glanced at the reaction of the Dark Doctor Strange beside him and was almost certain.

Although the other party could not retain the time memories erased by the Time Stone fragments like he and Red Skull, he seemed to have a special quality that allowed him to vaguely perceive the problems of the world before him.

Unfortunately, the manifestation of this ability is too subtle, and even Doctor Strange himself cannot perceive the truth of this world's constant repetition.

Sensing the unusual tone in Doctor Strange's voice, Thor and the Avengers on the spaceship exchanged glances.

Although he didn't know the reason for the other party's doubts, Thor subconsciously became vigilant, gripped the Stormbreaker tightly, and summoned the lightning that was about to appear above the fortress.

As Thor approached, the other Avengers on the spaceship joined him.

...

"So what exactly does Strange mean by danger?"

Ignoring the bullets raining down on him, Thor swung his Storm Axe and instantly blasted away the soldiers in front of the outpost. He spun around and fixed his gaze on the entrance to the bunker.

"It couldn't be these guys."

Before the operation began, Doctor Strange's warning made Thor subconsciously anticipate that the battle would be intense, but what was happening before his eyes was far from enough to make him nervous.

Swoosh

Suppressing his doubts, Thor swung his battle axe, creating a gust of wind. In the next second, he crossed the German soldiers' defensive line and landed heavily in front of the bunker.

Not to mention Thor, even Doctor Strange himself, who had given the warning, was bewildered by what was happening before his eyes.

"According to infrared scan data, there is a steel reinforcement layer on the left wall of the passage, as well as airflow..."

After breaking through the particle barrier and penetrating the canvas inside the bunker, Tony, standing before the dark passage, was equally perplexed: everything seemed to be going too smoothly.

"Activate alarm mode on Friday."

Tony frowned as he gave the order, concerned about the potential dangers in the area.

"Yes, sir."

At his command, two floating cannon muzzles immediately appeared on the shoulders of his nano-uniform, binding his sides.

Protected by the suspended cannon muzzle, Tony's initial anxiety subsided somewhat. He took a deep breath and stepped into the depths of the dark passage.

...

Xu Fu, who appeared on the battlefield, looked around at the soldiers, his eyes also filled with doubt.

Having grown accustomed to Red Skull using various methods against him at every moment of retreat, Xu Fu felt somewhat uneasy suddenly finding himself in such a "harmless" situation in front of him.

As for a counterattack, a nuclear attack also occurred in the previous timeline. He thought there would be some amazing measures this time, but why haven't they appeared yet?

Xu Fu barely hesitated, turned his head to look at the distant bunker, and easily found the location of the Red Skull.

Inside the bunker, the Red Skull stood quietly at the end of the secret passage, the scene almost exactly as he had initially observed him.

What kind of trick is this?

Seeing this, Xu Funa frowned subconsciously: Red Skull's actions at this moment were more unpredictable than ever before.

"Are you looking for me?"

Just as Xu Fu was wondering and guessing the other party's purpose, Tony discovered a bloody skull face at the end of the secret passage.

"Tony Stark Iron Man"

Looking at the blood-soaked head of the Red Skull lying before him, Tony's expression under his helmet changed slightly, and the muzzle of the pistol hanging beside him immediately pointed at the person he was speaking to.

"You seem to know me very well, don't you?"

However, under the muzzle of the nanocannon and the transformation of the nanosuit, Red Skull's expression remained remarkably calm, even somewhat numb.

Chapter 897 Important Information

"Of course, not just you. I know all of you well, including the mothership Maria that appeared above the fortress."

When Red Skull so easily mentioned the existence of the Void Ship, Tony's expression immediately turned serious beneath his nanotech shell.

Theoretically, the Avengers and the Resistance's operations were kept in absolute secrecy, and Red Skull could not easily discover their presence. From the expression of the person speaking to him, Tony could clearly sense that he was not lying; he was indeed very aware of their operations, just as he claimed.

"So you've been waiting here for us to walk right into your trap?"

Tony took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and secretly used the communication device in his nanosuit to report the situation inside the secret passage to the people outside the fortress, while trying to continue the conversation to obtain important information.

"Throw yourself into the net, instead of..."

Inside the secret passage, when faced with Tony's question, Red Skull gently shook his head, directly refuting Tony's statement.

Just then, under Tony's gaze, Red Skull raised his palm, then released it, revealing a gem fragment in the center of his hand. This gem fragment continuously emitted a chilling green light.

"I surrender, you win."

Looking at the Time Stone fragment in Red Skull's hand, Tony's expression inside the Nanospace 277 suit showed no excitement, but rather grew increasingly puzzled.

He cautiously backed away, maintaining a relatively safe distance from the Red Skull standing in front of him, and raised his hand, pointing the gun at him: "We won. I don't think we did anything to defeat you."

No wonder Tony was so cautious; Red Skull's surrender was just too bizarre.

He didn't even offer any decent resistance.

"No, it's not because of what you did, but because I can't find a way to defeat you. Can you imagine the despair of trying your best but being unable to harm your opponent even a little? This feeling of powerlessness, this deep-seated fear, every time I feel this powerlessness, it's a torment for me, it's like hell, no, hell, a hell that will never end. It can't end, hell has no end..."

Tony's question clearly touched a nerve with Red Skull. He turned his blood-stained head to look at the other man, his voice hoarse and distorted.

Looking at the Red Skull standing in front of him, whose emotions were clearly abnormal, Tony, dressed in a nanotech military suit, frowned deeply.

Everything that was happening before his eyes was beyond his expectations.

Even if possible, he would have preferred this encounter to be a battle, rather than what he was seeing.

"You're crazy!"

Tony sensed that Red Skull was getting more and more excited and frantic, and couldn't help but blurt out this comment.

"I'd rather go crazy, so I don't have to face this..."

In response to Tony's words, Red Skull opened his mouth and chuckled softly. His blood-soaked face looked even more disgusting due to the change in his emotions.

"I've had enough of this endless, hopeless struggle." "Rather than suffering in the cycle of time, I'd rather give up some things."

When Red Skull looked at the fragments of the Time Stone, greed and resentment flashed in his eyes, but they were quickly replaced by fear.

Now, the Time Stone fragment's ability to erase time is less a blessing and more a curse to him, causing him endless suffering.

“I surrender, I admit defeat, it’s yours now, Xu Fu…”

Holding the Time Stone fragment in his hand, Red Skull didn't explain anything to Tony anymore, but instead shouted directly from inside the bunker.

“I know you should hear what I have to say, Xu Fu.”

"Yes, I've heard about it."

Inside the bunker's secret passage, accompanied by another scream from Red Skull, Xu Fu's figure quietly appeared.

When Red Skull looked at him with an almost crazed expression, his own expression remained one of utter speechlessness.

He never expected that the theoretical final boss, Red Skull, the creator of everything in this anti-world before him, would be so psychologically fragile, surrendering after only a few encounters.

Of course, this is from Xu Fu's perspective; he thought the Red Skull was utterly useless.

However, from Red Skull's perspective, facing an opponent you can't defeat no matter what, your spirit will eventually break down, and you'll become more and more desperate as the battle goes on.

The Time Stone fragment grants Red Skull the ability to erase time, undoubtedly making him invincible in battle. However, this requires ultimate victory to be in his own hands, and Xu Fu's presence leaves Red Skull with not even the slightest chance of winning.

Therefore, the ability to erase time became a disguised prison, forcing Red Skull to repeat this hopeless battle forever.
