Carrying the unconscious Baron Strucker, Natasha Romanoff and Barton arrived at the location where the Quinjet was parked.
At this moment, Steve and Tony had also finished dealing with the remaining HYDRA soldiers.
They were standing side by side, seemingly discussing something.
After seeing Natasha Romanoff and Barton approach with Baron Strucker, Steve asked, "Is this the leader of the HYDRA base in Sokovia?"
"That's right!"
Barton tossed Baron Strucker into the Quinjet's cockpit and replied to Steve, "This guy wanted to say something to Sue earlier."
"But Sue didn't bother listening to his nonsense and just knocked him out."
"After Natasha and I copied those files, we brought him back."
"But it seems that although this guy ordered the HYDRA soldiers to charge at us, he was already prepared to surrender."
Hearing Barton's words, Steve glanced at the unconscious Baron Strucker and then smiled with emotion, "Each generation is indeed worse than the last."
"If Red Skull, Johann Schmidt, knew what his subordinates would become seventy years later, I wonder how he'd feel."
"But if all HYDRA leaders are like this, then we have nothing to worry about in the future!"
As soon as Steve finished speaking, Tony Stark beside him said speechlessly, "Hey, man, don't think I can't tell you're making fun of me!"
"I just finished telling you how I used my father's Future Key display board to research a new element, and then you watch this unconscious guy and say 'each generation is worse than the last'?"
"Captain, can we just leave it at that?"
"Didn't I just say that HYDRA is still using those giant tanks that look like antiques from seventy years ago?"
"It's really... As expected of Captain America, you never take a loss!"
Seeing Tony's exasperated expression, Steve just smiled without saying a word.
He liked the relaxed atmosphere after a battle; it always reminded him of the past.
After leading the Howling Commandos in a fight, gathering with Bucky and the others in a tavern for a cheerful time.
The feeling of relaxation after victory was truly captivating. He never thought that nearly seventy years later, he could experience it again.
As for Tony...
He had just imitated Sue's technique and responded in kind.
Sure enough, as natural rivals, neither would suffer a loss.
"By the way, where's Sue?"
He looked around but didn't see Sue Che.
Tony Stark asked Natasha Romanoff and Barton.
"It's full of sin here."
Before Natasha Romanoff and Barton could speak, Steve was the first to laugh and say, "And no one knows how much harmful 'filth' is hidden in this base. Sue is probably handling the aftermath!"
"Steve is right!"
Natasha Romanoff, who had put away her weapon, said to Tony, "Just the highly hazardous 'sealed research gases' in those laboratories alone are enough to kill many people!"
"So rather than letting this castle continue to exist, it's better to let it completely disappear from this world!"
As the Widow finished speaking, rumbling sounds came from the direction of the castle not far away.
Hearing the noise, everyone looked over.
Suddenly, violent explosions erupted from the originally intact mountain.
A powerful blast shot into the sky, and countless boulders fell from the mountain with a whistling sound.
A monstrous flood surged up from the mountaintop, its momentum like an ancient monster, sweeping down with an unstoppable mudslide!
"Boom!"
The castle standing halfway up the mountain was struck by boulders and the flood, instantly turning into ruins.
Faced with such a terrifying natural disaster, the once-intact castle offered no resistance at all, vanishing into nothingness, submerged under boulders and mud.
Even the original mountain seemed to have been shortened by over ten meters.
Tony Stark smacked his lips and suddenly said to Steve beside him, "Steve, seeing Sue's abilities, I suddenly have a very bold idea..."
"Tony!"
Hearing Tony Stark's words, Steve turned his head and glanced at him.
"Come on, you know exactly what I'm thinking."
"Fine, I really can't guess what your idea is, but I'm sure it's not a good plan!"
"Huh? Man, you're getting smarter?"
Listening to the two bicker, Natasha Romanoff focused on the direction of the rushing flood and mudslide.
She had to admit, Natasha Romanoff now had a new understanding of Sue Che's abilities.
She already knew that if Sue Che was willing to use his abilities to their limit, destroying a city would be effortless.
Not to mention triggering massive tsunamis or floods—disasters that everyone could intuitively understand.
Simply put, when dealing with the Obadiah Stane incident, he could use his perfect water control ability to turn water into metallic hydrogen.
As for the step before turning water into metallic hydrogen, she had looked into it herself.
It involved creating a warm, dense substance with a probability of atomic nucleus collisions.
Once atomic nuclei collide, a nuclear fusion reaction occurs.
The energy released during this process is enough to easily destroy a city!
Although compressing water to such a degree requires extremely harsh conditions, if Sue Che could transform it into metallic hydrogen, then a nuclear fusion reaction would be no more difficult for him!
This truly gave Natasha Romanoff a new perspective on Sue Che's strength.
The monstrous flood and mudslide before them, which had just engulfed massive boulders and swept down from the mountaintop, burying HYDRA's castle...
The unstoppable flood and debris flow, like a natural disaster, gradually came to a stop at the foot of the mountain.
If she wasn't mistaken, the flood and mudslide didn't damage even half an acre of farmland below.
This level of perfect control was what impressed Natasha Romanoff the most!
After destroying the old castle with mountain explosions, floods, and boulders,
Sue Che stepped onto the mist and flew down from the sky.
"What else is this guy carrying?"
Seeing Baron Strucker thrown into the cabin, Sue Che smiled at Natasha Romanoff. "As soon as he saw me, this guy wanted to surrender, hoping for better treatment."
"This is the first time I've seen a HYDRA member so greedy for life and afraid of death."
"Exactly, he's nothing like the HYDRA at the company on that small island that Sue and I dealt with together."
Tony Stark on the side also nodded and smiled. "The HYDRA at the company on that small island, knowing they were doomed, still dared to attack me and Sue."
"Even the ones we captured resolutely bit down on the poison in their teeth and committed suicide!"
Speaking of this, Tony Stark glanced at the unconscious Baron Strucker in the cabin. "Look at this guy; I feel sorry for his subordinates!"
"Alright, that's enough talk. Let's get out of here!"
Steve interrupted with a smile. "But Natasha, before that, please drop me off in New Mexico. I need to return the hammer."
"Even though it enhances my strength, it doesn't belong to me after all!"
Facing Steve's request, Natasha Romanoff nodded in agreement. "No problem, it's just a detour. Anyway, Nick Fury shouldn't care about the plane's fuel cost!"
"Tch, since you can pick it up, why return it? You also said no one else can take it. I couldn't even lift it with the armor's power."
While boarding the plane, Tony Stark kept talking.
Regarding the hammer that even his armor's energy couldn't budge,
Tony Stark was full of research interest!
In his opinion, it was an ownerless item that no one else could lift.
Since Steve could pick it up, it should belong to Steve!
