The Resistance's influence grew rapidly; in less than half a year, they had reclaimed one-third of America's territory.
With continuous victories, Steve's prestige soared. Unlike previous U.S. Presidents, he was more stubborn, unwilling to compromise easily, and genuinely cared about the populace.
Among the liberated populace, an urban legend of the 'Kamen Rider' circulated.
It was said that whenever an innocent person encountered a brutal super-powered individual, a Kamen Rider with a White scarf tied around his neck would appear, defeat the opponent with lightning speed, and then ride away on his motorcycle.
Many citizens connected this image to the one that circulated online before the rise of the Hydra Empire; the myth of the Kamen Rider continued.
In a school where classes had temporarily resumed, it was currently recess. A boy was playing with a Kuuga doll, sitting on a chair, and speaking to himself with a childlike voice:
"Does Kamen Rider really exist?"
Ding-a-ling—
Before the boy could answer himself, the bell for class interrupted him, and he quickly stuffed the Kuuga doll into his schoolbag.
Unbeknownst to the boy, the Kuuga doll in his schoolbag emitted a faint glow.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … …
At the same time,
In the capital of the Hydra Empire, a furious Red Skull was interrogating his subordinates, "So you only dared to report this matter after losing one-third of the territory?"
This matter reminded Red Skull of the performance of the Third Reich's intelligence department during World War II. Red Skull was now as angry as his little mustachioed friend.
"Kamen Rider Geats isn't dead at all; his power is too strong," a HYDRA official said helplessly. "We have no way to resist his power…"
Red Skull controlled a large number of super heroes, but the control over the strongest ones was solely in Red Skull's hands.
Thus, a strange closed loop formed.
HYDRA wanted to defeat Eller and the Resistance without alarming Red Skull, which required powerful super hero combat strength. However, to deploy high-tier combat strength, they had to report to Red Skull.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Red Skull's eyes. He took out the Spear of Longinus, and the light representing the mind stone radiated throughout the room.
"My command is everything. You must defend every inch of the Empire's land at all costs, until your dying breath."
Red Skull's command was deeply etched into the minds of these individuals. Except for the three major cadres, these people completely lost their free will.
The Hydra Empire, having inherited the Third Reich's shortcomings, gave Red Skull a headache, but Red Skull had a way to deal with the Resistance.
That was to kill them! The method of the God of Tyranny and Domination was pure force, without any schemes. As long as all resistors were killed, the Empire would be stable.
Human self-awareness? That was even less worth trusting.
Humans with self-will would only destroy themselves. This was the foolish nature of humanity. In this vulgar World, humans were not qualified to move towards the future based on their self-awareness.
Humans would always be bound by their own perceptions. Steve, Geats, how long can you fight for it?
Only HYDRA could lead humanity towards a future of absolute uniformity. Self-thought, personality, will—these were all waste materials that should be discarded in evolution!
Red Skull's thoughts became increasingly extreme, but they also highly aligned with his divine position, and his hidden strength was gradually increasing.
In the empty room, Red Skull whispered, "Rogers, if you truly want to prove you are stronger than me, then come. I will give you that opportunity."
With the command from the Empire's supreme ruler, the super heroes who should have been sealed in laboratories emerged from their cryogenic chambers and headed to the front lines.
The first battle is the decisive battle, one battle to determine the outcome!
… … … … … … … … … … …
Some time later,
In the command center, Steve received a message.
"New First Division completely annihilated, seventeen thousand dead."
This was a message like a bolt from the blue. Steve naturally understood that this was not the performance of normal army combat, but rather the involvement of high-tier combat power.
Inside the command post, Eller looked at the photos of large craters and energy burns everywhere, inferring:
"It should be the controlled Hulk and Captain Marvel who acted. It seems our previous speculation was correct; the permissions for these old friends are indeed in that guy's hands. And next, we should deal with the true Hydra Empire."
"This is a huge gamble, Schmidt. He's forcing us to bet everything."
Steve sighed. The continuous high-intensity command made him look a bit tired, but his eyes became deeper. Although he was in low spirits, he firmly believed that they would defeat Red Skull and HYDRA.
The former President now served as Steve's strategist. He roughly understood the current situation, so he said:
"Although we have the momentum, problems exist. Our high-tier combat power is fewer than theirs…"
"You don't need to worry about high-tier combat power; I will naturally resolve it," Eller said confidently. He then pointed to the Great Central Plains on the U.S. map, "We only need to consider fighting the final battle, and we can turn the Hydra Empire into bandits ruling a mountain."
A super-powered battlefield does not require the cunning tactics of a human battlefield; it only needs the strongest super-powered individuals to determine the final victor, which will decide the rise and fall of factions.
Any calculations would end once that super-powered individual who could kill everyone appeared.
Red Skull thought so, Eller thought so, and Steve thought so too.
Three people with vastly different ideologies thought of the same thing at this moment.
The Resistance and the Hydra Empire together concentrated their combat power on a battle in the Central Plains. Both sides gathered all their armies and transported weapons to the front line.
Radar and satellites were useless; everything seemed to have returned to World War II.
A heavy smell of gunpowder permeated the Great Central Plains. Under the command of both sides' generals, the two armies began a bloody tug-of-war. The roar of artillery fire was incessant, and dirt and severed limbs flew into the sky, interspersed with battles between Resistance super-powered individuals and HYDRA Cyborg.
The battle was so bloody until HYDRA began to deploy the former super heroes.
The Avengers, Warriors Squad, Eternal, Captain Marvel, Celestial Hammer Venerable, and even Ghost Rider and Blade appeared on the battlefield… Once these super heroes, whose self-awareness had been stripped by the mind stone, entered the battle, the battlefield became one-sided.
As the undisputed strongest combatant in the Resistance, Eller naturally had to change all of this, but a figure appeared before him.
"When did a god who cares so much about lower beings appear?"
