Mr. Fantastic Reed’s willpower cannot actually be said to be fragile.
Compared to many ordinary people, his will is already considered very outstanding.
But among those corrupted by demons, there are many human heroes.
No one should blame the hero for not being able to hold on to his original dream.
But no one will forgive those heroes who have made mistakes.
It is already rare for Dr. Reed to be able to ask Tony to bring people here at this juncture.
While he still doubted why he wanted to save Johnny, the love in his heart was already dissipating.
At this time, it took all his strength to overcome his desire to corrupt Susan with him.
No one knew what was going on in his overly clever brain.
The only thing that can be expected now is that Tony can arrive at the scene faster.
If possible, it would be best to completely freeze Dr. Reed before he is completely corrupted!
Perhaps then there would be a chance to find a way to reverse the process of corruption.
…
"We're in trouble now.
Head to Buster Tower now!
Reed's will is on the verge of collapse!"
Tony was just watching SHIELD agents evacuate the crowd around Buster Tower.
But now he received a plea for help from Reed.
So at this time, we can no longer wait for a solution!
"Follow me Steve!
I guess we need to prepare for the worst now!
If everything comes to a point of no return, you should be able to take action against Reid, right?
You are a veteran!"
There was a bit of embarrassment in Tony's voice.
He looked around and realized that the person who could kill Dr. Reed without any psychological pressure was actually Rumlow.
After all, this guy was once a ruthless executioner.
Even if there is a change now, it will not affect him from attacking the damn devil.
But Tony still retains that respect for knowledge.
Respect for the wisdom in Dr. Reed's mind!
This gave him a slight bias when choosing who to go with.
It would be better for Steve, the former Captain America, to send Reed on his final journey than to let Rumlow do it.
"Actually, I have been thinking about it, can the power of angels save a person when they are about to be corrupted?
Didn't Constantine use a similar method to become a Nephalem?
Why can’t Reed do that here?”
Steve followed Tony, asking questions as he walked.
"Me and Reid have tried this.
But the final result is no good!
The angelic powers that Constantine received came from the Archangel of Hope.
The prerequisite for an ordinary person to be reincarnated into an angel is that he must be a noble person, and then he must die with nobility!"
Tony directly grabbed Steve's arm and flew towards the top of the Buster Building.
During the flight, he talked about the conclusions he and Dr. Reed came to.
The moment a noble person is corrupted by the devil, that noble soul has been cast into a shadow.
In this case, it is impossible for this person to become an angel.
Naturally, it is impossible to obtain the power of an angel, and it is impossible to use the power of an angel to become a Nephalem.
The merciful among the angels will look after mankind.
But no matter how kind an angel is, he will never favor a devil.
It was a miracle from the beginning that Constantine could achieve that level!
Constantine first obtained the power of an angel and then sought the power of a demon.
As for Steve's statement, the conclusion can only be reached by unconsciously turning effect into cause.
Another example is the angel Yi Zuer who has disappeared!
The nature of angels was completely reversed by the combined efforts of the seven demon kings of hell.
Even after returning to the higher heaven, he did not transform into an existence like the Nephalem.
Instead, he completely perished in the conflict between the three forces.
"I see Dr. Reed!
The devil's horns have sprouted from his head!"
Tony shouted, and then threw Steve directly in the direction of Dr. Reed's laboratory!
Steve directly accumulated strength in mid-air, and then knocked open the tempered glass!
Steve arrived in front of Dr. Reed first!
"Reed! Wake up!"
This was the first thing Steve said.
But no matter what you say at this time, it will seem meaningless!
Reed's corruption is halfway through!
At this point, human will can no longer prevent itself from falling into the abyss!
"The great Captain America comes to me!
Should I entertain him with the best drinks? Or should I find a way to disembowel him!?"
Reed's mouth was already talking crazy words.
Steve could see Reid's wavering and understood what he should do at this time!
Knock the opponent unconscious!
Then use the fastest way to send Dr. Reed into the freezer!
Steve knew what it was like for a human being to be corrupted.
After a person's will falls into a coma, he cannot even fight against the corruption of the devil!
Knocking Dr. Reed unconscious at this time is actually not the best thing to do.
The best thing to do would be to freeze Dr. Reed alive!
But Steve can't do that!
"I found the freezer!
Steve! Do it!”
Tony has also arrived at the door of the freezer!
Buster Tower's energy supply has always been sufficient.
This is not only the help of SHIELD, but also the help of Tony!
Now Tony has gotten rid of the original Ark reactor.
But this does not mean that the Ark Reactor has lost its value.
On the contrary, in the human world, the role of the Ark Reactor is still very important!
That means plenty of energy!
At this time, the Buster Building was equipped with this kind of energy system.
So Tony can easily open the refrigerator door!
Reed knows this.
But he acquiesced to Tony's little trick.
Reed has left himself an insurance policy...
If he can't be saved, then Tony at least has a chance to save Susan!
"Who is causing trouble on the Fantastic Four's territory!"
The stone man rushed into the laboratory with anger, and was immediately confused by the relatively complicated situation.
Steve waved his fist directly at Dr. Reed.
This was enough for Dr. Reed to have a good sleep.
Even if Dr. Reed now has demonic characteristics, he cannot be a match for Steve, the Nephalem.
Steve and the others grew up just as quickly as the average Nephalem.
"Captain? And Iron Man?
What are you going to do to Reed!?"
Although the stone man noticed something was wrong, when he saw that Reed was being attacked, he still stood in front of Steve without hesitation!
After Johnny died unexpectedly, everyone left by the Fantastic Four became the most precious thing in the Stone Man's heart!
He protects his friends regardless of anything!
“Get out of the way, Ben!
If you don’t want to watch Reed become a demon and completely tear you and Susan apart!"
Tony roared eagerly and fired his upgraded energy cannon directly at the stone man!
The speed of the stone man is not fast, it can only be said to be slightly faster than normal people.
This is just something that comes with increasing physical strength.
Facing the impact of energy, he has no possibility to dodge directly!
At this moment, Steve reached out his hand and strangled Dr. Reed's throat!
In the eyes full of confusion, there was finally a slight change.
There seems to be gratitude? But mixed with hatred!
"It's not too late! Tony opens the freezer! I'll knock him out the moment I let him in!"
Steve yelled!
Then he dragged Dr. Reed directly to the door of the freezer!
At this time, the door of the freezer warehouse opened a gap!
Steve stuffed his free arm directly into the crack of the door!
The next moment, the door was pushed open directly!
The low temperature inside causes the moisture in the air to condense into mist!
"To your left is a box with an open lid!
Put Reed in it!”
Tony shouted hurriedly!
This box was prepared by Reed for himself.
The purpose is to leave a little chance for myself in the face of this situation!
Steve threw Reed in hard without hesitation! Then he punched Reed in the head!
Then close the lid that was set aside!
Tony on the side also immediately turned on the quick-freezing button!
After the machine made a gentle beep, the hurried rescue came to an end for the time being.
"Can freezing make the soul dormant?"
Steve looked at Tony breathlessly and asked.
This amount of exercise was nothing to him, but this incident made him feel exhausted urgently.
"This low temperature is a collection of all Reed's previous technologies.
According to Reed, he was approaching absolute hypothermia.
Although I don't know if it can freeze the soul, it is more than enough to slow down the movement of molecules.
The reason why this technology cannot go further for the time being is not because there is a problem with Reed's technology and ideas.
But he really couldn't find a better material than a mixed alloy of vibranium and Adamantium plus Asgard's Urugin.
Materials limit Reed's technology."
Tony also opened his visor at this time.
It can be seen that this matter is not an easy matter for him.
"So do you have a way, or does Reed have any ideas to reverse the process of corruption?
If not, they may have to be frozen forever."
Steve's words sounded a bit exaggerated...
But it's also a cruel fact.
If there is no way to solve the threat of corruption, Reed and Susan, who are in the process of corruption, will never have a chance to see the light of day again.
Otherwise, what's the point of releasing two unlucky guys who have become demons?
Let the Nephalem see what demons look like after humans have been corrupted?
"Reed had a guess, but it seemed to be something biological.
My idea is to replicate the accident that happened when Dr. Manhattan was born.
After all, it is to create something other than a god-like existence.
It may also be possible to reshape a person's soul, if we can find information about the accident that led to the birth of Dr. Manhattan.
Maybe we can get a slightly clearer answer.
But now, I may have to follow Reid's ideas first."
Tony looked at the displays that were still open.
The above are densely packed with conjectures listed by Dr. Reed.
Others have only completed the research results at the beginning.
These things are more comprehensive than the information Tony shared.
Among the research results Tony shared, Dr. Reed did not identify the parts that were not feasible.
After all, Reed hopes that Tony can complete his research and save himself and Susan.
Those paths that have been proven impossible will naturally be abandoned by Reed.
But for Tony, these paths that have proven to be unsuccessful are not without value.
"I may have to stay at Buster Towers for a while.
Also, if possible, you have to help me find some guys who are sure to be corrupted.
Research requires materials...
To be honest, I don't want to do this either.
But I can promise that I will never hurt them before they become demons.
Even though they may all be a bunch of villains who deserved to die ten thousand times.”
Tony said to Steve without raising his head.
There will definitely be no shortage of corrupted humans in this world.
Because demons have so many ways to influence humans.
At this time, Tony's bottom line is to take action against those who are not human beings...
Does this guarantee sound a little familiar?①
"I do not care.
I'm not a saint.
All I need is that you promise not to ignore life during the research process."
Steve just said these words and turned around and left.
By the way, they also took away the stone man with a dull look on his face...
He is just a soldier and doesn't know much about scientific research.
Even if it is a reminder that I put down before, it has no special meaning.
Steve had heard descriptions of burning hells and demons from many barbarian ancestors.
The part that stuck in Steve's mind the most was the devil's disregard for life.
Or rather contempt!
Even though they themselves are life, they are also creatures under the authority of life.
But these demons' indifference to life made Steve shudder from the bottom of his heart!
"Who knows?
Just like if you focus solely on the law, you will gradually lose your humanity.
When I continue to use life as a prop for research, how can I ensure that life will not become a consumable in my eyes?
In other words, if I also enter the process of corruption during this research,
Then on whom can I put my hope for salvation?
Reed, you really gave me a problem."
Tony's voice became smaller and smaller.
At this time, he suddenly missed the brandy he had just opened on the wine cabinet at home and took a sip.
And when he was hurriedly going out, Peibo looked at his back and only said a word of caution...
Does hope lie in others? Or in yourself?
Tony suddenly became interested in theology and philosophy.
…
"Hope is always there, it's just that no one knows what hope looks like.
What do you think, Malthael?"
Auriel said softly.
What she held in her hand was the quill that Malthael always held when he was the Archangel of Wisdom.
Wisdom is always writing and drawing, while Balance is always holding his parchment and looking at it blankly.
Auriel knew that her words would be heard by the Archangel of Wisdom.
Auriel has noticed Malthael's split into two!
The Archangel of Wisdom and the Archangel of Death are two completely different entities.
This situation made Auriel tremble.
Most of the victories of wisdom are not in fighting.
The victory of death is announced with the end of life.
Auriel is worried about whether the connection between the Archangel of Wisdom and the Archangel of Death is close!
Auriel can't guarantee anything!
In other words, no existence can guarantee that things will develop on a certain trajectory.
And the existence that can guarantee this cannot issue its own guarantee in a way that the existence that cannot guarantee all this can understand...
Those who can speak cannot speak, and those who can speak cannot do it.
