Chapter 346 - 343 Going To Moscow, The Danger Of Hydra.
A few days later, Luke, who was staying in S.H.I.E.L.D., received the information from Berlin, Germany.
"Apocalypse appeared …"
The young Director rubbed his chin and considered how to solve this unstable factor.
Although Apocalypse was the God of Mutants, proficient in various abilities and tenacious vitality, even the Phoenix Force couldn't completely kill him.
However, Luke had the Tenth Metal.
If he really wanted to get rid of Apocalypse, he wasn't without a solution.
'I've always been a man of peace. It's too rude to fight and kill at every turn.'
Luke leaned back in his seat and thought so.
According to his understanding of Apocalypse, the former Pharaoh woke up and figured out the world's current situation.
He would inevitably start looking for 'The Four Horsemen' -- meaning, looking for four potential mutants, strengthening their talent and ability, and turning them into his four main fighters.
To conquer the world and establish an empire on his behalf.
After all, he was the great Pharaoh, the great deity.
If he did everything by himself, it wouldn't look good.
"Germany, Berlin …"
Luke curled his lips at the thought that Magneto was a Jewish German.
Apocalypse's goal was probably one of the leaders of future mutants, Erik Lehnsherr.
"Not even letting a child go. This should be child abduction."
Luke spat.
Young Magneto, even without the help of Apocalypse, was already at an alpha level.
It was far from the level of strength that could manipulate the magnetic field in the center of the earth and tear the planet apart.
Even if he took Magneto under his wing, there was no use.
'Wait and see, letting Apocalypse take the initiative to jump out could be a good thing. When the time comes, it could increase reputation.'
Luke shrugged off the complicated thoughts and closed the report.
If the world was compared to a huge stage, Superman would be one of the brightest and most dazzling presences.
Any hero would always need some vicious and ruthless villains to set off their own greatness, bringing light and justice to the world.
For example, America often presented itself as a beacon of democracy and freedom, while the Soviet Union's Red Bear acted as the antagonist.
But Superman didn't need to create an enemy to secure his position.
Because in the Marvel Universe, various evil villains would emerge one after another.
Before Kang the Conqueror, there was Mister Sinister.
Because of their messy deaths, and the need for confidentiality, he was unable to make it public, and they failed to shoulder this 'difficult responsibility.'
Now, it seemed like Apocalypse had become a suitable candidate.
Knock, knock.
The knock on the door interrupted Luke's thinking and planning.
"It's really not easy to see you, Director Cavill."
Captain America, who returned to Brooklyn, walked into the office with a familiar smile around his lips.
He visited S.H.I.E.L.D. several times, but most of the time, Luke wasn't even in the office.
"If you are someone else, you would have to make an appointment at the front desk and wait in line."
Faced with Rogers's jokes, Luke also responded with a joke.
After Superman returned, he settled the Egyptian mummy problem and took away Set's power.
He participated in a secret meeting at the White House and indulged in a little bit of pleasure in a warm embrace.
It was only recently that he got back to work, clocking in at S.H.I.E.L.D. every day on schedule.
With several jobs and very high status, Luke was indeed a very busy man.
Compared with the President in the White House, he didn't need to face interviews, participate in political shows, reveal his 'people-friendly' side, and say embarrassing things.
The heavy work in other areas wasn't much different.
S.H.I.E.L.D was now a large organization, with agents and spies worldwide, forming a secret intelligence network.
The mobilization of tens of thousands of people, as well as various plans for secretly establishing and executing projects, all needed to be reviewed by him.
In addition to the above schedule, there were endless meetings in the Pentagon, successive invitations from various interest groups, and so on.
If Luke weren't proficient in time management and needed to spend too much time sleeping every day, he would have been overwhelmed.
Well, once in a while, he wanted to send warm greetings to Carter, Malèna, and others.
In this way, Luke was even busier than the President.
"Haha, so should I call you Director or General?"
Rogers drew back his chair, and the secretary outside brought a cup of coffee in time.
"So, should I call you Captain America or Colonel Rogers?"
Luke returned his words.
The two of them looked at each other and let out a pleasant laugh.
After exchanging a few pleasantries and adjusting the atmosphere…
Luke went straight to the point and asked, "What did you get out of your time in the Soviet Union?"
Captain America was supposed to go to Moscow to find Bucky's whereabouts, but he hurried back to New York because Superman had disappeared.
"I confirmed Bucky fell into the hands of Leviathan after a round of struggle with the agents of the Red House. The entire city of Moscow is under KGB surveillance, but in reality, the real one in control of everything is the Red House and Leviathan behind it."
Colonel Rogers's face looked somber. It wasn't long before he lurked in Moscow and was noticed by agents from the Red House.
He almost fell in love with the other and became a prisoner of Leviathan.
"It sounds thrilling and exciting, like the plot of a secret agent movie."
Luke smiled.
Speaking of which, he was preparing to fight against Hydra.
it wasn't easy for him to free up his hand, just to finish that quest --
[Side quests: The arrival of a new era, the rebirth of Hydra!]
After scanning the quest list, Luke was quite excited.
The reward was a Kryptonian spaceship!
If he unlocked it, exchanged it, and carried out a replication project, maybe in a few decades, the Earth would enter an era of interstellar colonization.
To say the least, owning a spaceship capable of wormhole jumps was a good thing for Superman, who wanted to conquer the starry sea.
"Steve, have you ever thought about the fact that Bucky has been in Leviathan's hands for so long… maybe he's no longer the old friend we know."
Luke collected his thoughts and started to prepare Captain America mentally.
In case he met the brainwashed Winter Soldier, Rogers would definitely suffer a big loss.
"He might actually become a cold-blooded killer, an emotionless tool, or a machine."
Luke was earnest as he reminded him.
The smile on Rogers's face slightly froze.
This was something that he didn't want to think about.
If one day, he and Bucky were on opposite sides and had to be enemies, what would he do?
Captain America's moral bottom line certainly wouldn't tolerate Bucky's indiscriminate killing of innocent people covered in blood.
But he couldn't possibly kill his former best friend, placing righteousness above family.
This was an extremely difficult choice.
"If there's such a day, I'll try my best to bring Bucky back! Even if he becomes a jerk, I believe that some things can't be changed!"
Rogers was silent for a long time and finally said so.
This sincere confession simply made Luke want to send 'tears' out to the world.
If it weren't for the fact that Captain America had already had a girlfriend and exhibited a normal sexual orientation.
He would definitely doubt whether there was some hidden relationship between these two men.
"It's not that bad. Maybe Bucky is just … On the bright side, at least he's still alive, right?"
Luke reassured and looked on the bright side.
"By the way, would you like to join the team and go to Moscow?"
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Captain America just laughed bitterly, thinking that Luke's method of comforting people was too poor.
But when he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression changed, as if he was shocked.
Rogers had no idea that Luke would take the initiative to go to Moscow.
Unlike when they infiltrated Sicily and conquered Rome.
Now he was a Lieutenant General, a very high position.
The safety and security of this individual could even affect the global situation.
At this time, he was taking a personal risk -- although no one could threaten Superman.
If he went to Moscow, it would undoubtedly add unpredictable risks to his own security.
"You don't have to do this."
Rogers was a little touched.
He thought Luke was trying to save Bucky, which was why he left his job and took time off to go to Moscow.
"I will continue to find Bucky's whereabouts and rescue him -- that's my mission."
Captain America pursed his lips and spoke earnestly.
"Bucky and I owe you too much, Luke, whether in Brooklyn or on the battlefield of World War II."
"There are some responsibilities that I should take up myself."
Luke's mouth twitched. He felt that Rogers had misunderstood something.
He simply wanted to bring the remnants of Hydra hidden in the Soviet Union together and complete the side quest that offered great rewards.
"Bucky is also my friend. I have an obligation to save him from Leviathan's hands."
After a few seconds of contemplation, Luke stepped back and spoke righteously.
"Colonel Rogers, you only need to follow orders."
Captain America's face looked tense. After a few seconds, he stood up and looked at Luke, who wasn't joking.
"Yes, Sir."
Rogers saluted.
…
On the other side of the world, Baron Strucker, the leader of Hydra, sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and habitually complained about the weather in Moscow.
"Mister Sinister died in Superman's hands, but we obtained his cloning technology."
Baron Strucker held his arms around his chest, looked out the window at the Red Square, and confidently said, "This country will soon fall into my hands!
"The Hydra flag will replace the Red!"
