On the screen.
The camera shifted.
Outside the Infectious Disease Research Institute, a large truck was speeding towards the entrance.
That alone wasn't unusual, but the truck didn't slow down as it approached the institute.
Moreover, the driver leaped out of the cab.
Even a fool could see what was about to happen.
The guards at the institute's entrance were shocked, but it was too late. They couldn't react as the truck slammed into them.
The car slammed into the roadblocks set up by the Infectious Disease Research Institute, flipping over and smashing through the institute's gate.
It just forced a path into the institute.
Then, several other box trucks drove in through the opening. The doors opened, and one after another, fully armed soldiers jumped out.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A barrage of gunfire immediately erupted, and the security personnel inside the institute were mercilessly shot down.
Following that, the armed personnel fired several tear gas grenades into the institute, and the entire building was shrouded in acrid smoke, causing the staff inside to collapse to the ground.
The entire institute was taken down so easily.
Rumlow, wearing a gas mask, marched through the institute and entered a laboratory, where he seized a biochemical agent.
"Rumlow is acting so brazenly. It seems this incident happened after Romanoff destroyed Hydra."
Nick Fury stated from the side, making a basic judgment.
If Hydra hadn't been completely exposed, Rumlow would still be in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rapid response unit on the surface, and wouldn't dare to act so recklessly.
When Rumlow entered the Infectious Disease Research Institute to seize the biochemical agents, there was undoubtedly a team of armed special forces personnel on guard within the institute's compound.
Suddenly.
One of the special forces members seemed to sense something, and he turned around sharply, only to see a figure plummeting from the sky directly towards him.
It was none other than Captain America.
At the same time, a person with wings soared through the air and flew into the distance; it was Falcon, Sam Wilson. Obviously, Falcon had carried Captain America into the air.
Captain America held his shield in front of him, and he became a meteor, smashing heavily towards the special forces member.
Instantly, he knocked the other person down.
The other special forces soldiers reacted immediately, and immediately pulled their triggers at Captain America, who, without a doubt, blocked them with his shield.
Then Captain America kicked the front of a box truck, sending the front end sliding sideways and directly knocking a special forces soldier flying.
You could only say that the way of a super soldier was fierce.
Whoosh!
Next, Captain America threw his shield, and it seemed to have eyes, bouncing along the ground and knocking down those special forces soldiers.
Sam Wilson and Scarlet Witch then descended from the sky, flying over. The group worked together, and quickly took down the special forces soldiers in the courtyard.
—That's right, Scarlet Witch was also flying.
You could only say that magic was unreasonable.
Falcon scanned the research institute building with a small drone and immediately reported to Captain America: "Rumlow is on the third floor."
"Wanda, just like we practiced," Captain America immediately ordered Scarlet Witch.
"The gas?" Scarlet Witch asked.
"Suck it all out!"
"Understood!"
Scarlet Witch spread her hands, and a ball of red energy lifted Captain America. Captain America shot into the third floor of the research institute like a cannonball.
Then, Scarlet Witch waved her hands repeatedly, and all the gas in the institute was sucked out, as if by an extra-large range hood.
"There are such powerful sorcerers on Midgard?" Loki couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Captain America, Tony Stark, and the others were also surprised by the various abilities displayed by Scarlet Witch.
So far, the biggest takeaway from this video was a more comprehensive understanding of Scarlet Witch's power.
The screen continued to play.
Even though Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, and Black Widow were all incredibly strong, and had practically wiped out Rumlow's men...
Rumlow wasn't a pushover. He managed to escape with a few of his people, and in a sneaky move, they split up and fled in different directions.
This forced the superheroes to split up as well to pursue them.
Black Widow and Sam Wilson successfully seized the biochemical agents from Rumlow's men, while Captain America personally engaged Rumlow.
The outcome was inevitable. He quickly defeated Rumlow.
"Who's your buyer!" Captain America began, grabbing Rumlow by the collar and demanding in a low voice.
"He recognizes you!" Rumlow said. "Your good buddy, Bucky, he recognizes you!"
"What are you saying?" Captain America became agitated.
"He recognizes you, I was there. He was all teary-eyed, and then they messed with his brain again."
"He told me to tell Rogers, 'When it's time to go, you have to go.' You have to come with me." Rumlow finished with a meaningful tone, then immediately pressed the bomb button.
BOOM! He exploded instantly.
Everyone in front of the screen couldn't help but hold their breath. Could Captain America have been blown up like that?
Even if Captain America was a super soldier, he probably wouldn't survive an explosion at such close range, right?
But the next moment.
A mass of red energy enveloped Rumlow, and the explosion's shockwave was forcibly contained.
Scarlet Witch made a dazzling entrance!
Everyone was once again astonished by Scarlet Witch's powerful abilities. Even such an inconceivable feat was possible, truly worthy of a witch.
After containing the explosion's shockwave, Scarlet Witch used her magic to hurl Rumlow high into the air, intending for him to explode there.
But what Scarlet Witch didn't anticipate was how close Rumlow was to a building. The violent explosion ignited the gas pipes.
BOOM!
Several rooms in the building also erupted in a fierce explosion.
It was clear that this explosion was what caused the deaths of eleven Wakandan citizens.
The screen's camera then cut to an interior shot.
Captain America was watching the news on television.
"Last month, in Lagos, Nigeria, eleven Wakandan citizens were unfortunately killed in a conflict between the Avengers and mercenaries."
"These isolated Wakandans were in Lagos providing community service at the time of the attack..."
As a female news anchor reported, a large headline flashed across the television screen: "Suing the Avengers, Global Anti-Violence."
Next, an elderly man spoke with righteous indignation.
The television screen also displayed a headline: "Wakandan King T'Challa Demands Accountability from the Avengers."
"The blood of my people was spilled on foreign soil, not only because of criminal acts, but also because of the indifference of those who stopped the criminals!"
"A victory that sacrifices the innocent is not a victory at all!"
The fact that the eleven Wakandan citizens who died were ordinary citizens, not people of any particular importance, was a bit unexpected.
However, considering the background of "Global Anti-Violence, Prosecute the Avengers" in the video, it seemed rather reasonable.
It appeared that the Avengers' previous actions had indeed caused a lot of damage, continuously attracting international attention, which led to this situation.
Captain America couldn't watch anymore and picked up the remote to turn off the television.
But the voices still came through.
"What right does an enhanced individual like Wanda Maximoff have to operate in Nigeria?"
Captain America turned his head and saw that Scarlet Witch was watching another television. Captain America turned off that one as well.
"It's all my fault," Scarlet Witch said, feeling very guilty.
"No, it's not your fault."
"Then turn on the TV. They're specifically calling me out."
"I should have taken off the bulletproof vest long ago, instead of making you have to do it. But when he mentioned Bucky, I suddenly became that sixteen-year-old kid from Brooklyn again..."
Captain America said, sitting down beside Scarlet Witch to comfort her.
The two of them were talking when suddenly, a person with a very strange appearance walked through the wall.
That's right, walked right through the wall.
The person's body seemed to be illusory, unconstrained by the wall, and just passed right through.
It was Vision, the big shot.
Everyone was once again shown Vision's awesome abilities, but considering it was Vision, anything awesome was reasonable.
"Vision! We talked about this!" Scarlet Witch said, a little reproachfully, looking at Vision.
From this form of address, it was clear that the relationship between Scarlet Witch and Vision was quite special.
"Yes, but the door was open, so I thought…" Vision explained, then turned to Captain America seriously, "Captain Rogers asked me to notify him when Mr. Stark returned."
"Thank you, I'll go down right away," Captain America replied.
"By the way, he also brought a guest, Secretary Ross."
The scene then switched again.
It was in a conference room, where all the known enhanced individuals were gathered. It was noteworthy that Scarlet Witch and Vision were also present.
The positions of these two, and their relationship with the Avengers, were finally completely clarified here.
The Avengers were seated around the conference table, with Secretary Ross standing before them, speaking eloquently.
"General Ross? He's going to be Secretary of State?" Nick Fury said, a bit surprised. He hadn't anticipated that.
"Five years ago, I had a heart attack. I collapsed while taking a swing on the golf course. That turned out to be the greatest stroke of luck in my life."
"After a thirteen-hour surgery and a triple bypass, I discovered something my forty years in the military hadn't taught me: foresight."
After some small talk, Ross got to the main point.
"The entire world owes the Avengers a debt. You fought for us, risking your lives to protect us."
"While many people consider you heroes, there are also those who prefer to call you 'vigilantes.'"
"And what about you, Mr. Secretary?" Black Widow asked.
"How dangerous is it?" Secretary Ross asked with a deep meaning. "How would you describe a group of enhanced individuals stationed in America?"
"They habitually ignore the boundaries of sovereign nations, going wherever they please and doing whatever they want, clearly without any regard for the consequences."
Speaking of which, Ross began playing some corresponding footage in front of everyone.
It was all footage of the Avengers causing massive destruction during their missions.
Everyone's mood became very heavy as they watched.
"That's enough!" Captain America couldn't watch any longer and interrupted Ross.
Ross paused the playback.
"For the past four years, your actions have had unlimited power and no oversight, and the governments of countries around the world have long been deeply resentful of this situation."
"But we have a solution."
At this, Secretary Ross produced a thick stack of files and placed them on the conference table.
"The Sokovia Accords. Approved by 117 nations. It states that the Avengers are no longer a private organization, but must operate under the supervision of a United Nations panel, which will decide whether or not to deploy them."
Ross explained to everyone.
"The Avengers' purpose is to make the world safer, and I think we've done that," Captain America immediately stated, making his position perfectly clear.
"Captain, do you know where Banner and Thor are?" Ross asked.
Captain America was taken aback, clearly not knowing.
"If I lost two 30-megaton nuclear weapons, there would definitely be consequences," Ross said. "Compromise, guarantees, that's how the world works. You all should talk it over."
Speaking of which, Secretary Ross turned and left, and the scene froze.
Seeing this, everyone finally understood what the Sokovia Accords were all about.
"Operating under the supervision of a UN regulatory group, and they decide whether or not to deploy? I actually signed it?"
Tony Stark found it unbelievable. Signing this kind of agreement was just asking for trouble. He couldn't believe he'd do it in the future.
It seemed something must have happened in the future to cause such a huge change in him.
Moreover, the fact that Captain America, a soldier by nature and whose duty was to obey orders, seemed so resistant to this agreement was even more surprising.
Shouldn't the roles of Captain America and Tony Stark be swapped?
Everyone basically understood the Sokovia Accords, and there was nothing much to summarize or discuss. The only value of this question was actually the determination of Scarlet Witch's stance.
And also the display of Scarlet Witch's abilities.
After some discussion, a new question appeared.
[Question: How did Loki Odinson die?]
[A. Killed by a Cursed Warrior in the Dark World while protecting Thor.]
[B. Killed by Thanos when Thanos attacked the Asgardian starship.]
[C. Died in battle defending Asgard against the invasion of Hela, the Goddess of Death.]
[D. Died at the hands of the fire giant Surtur during Ragnarok.]
[Friendly Reminder: Those who answer correctly will receive an E-11 blaster rifle; Those who answer incorrectly will have one of their attributes randomly deducted, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, and possessions...]
