Chapter 124 The man who drove nails into his own body!
"hiss"

Even Steve Rogers couldn't help but gasp when he saw this guy peeling off the iron sheet!
Inside the iron sheet were densely packed sharp iron nails stained with his blood.

The iron nails pierced deeply into his body. As the iron sheet was peeled off, streams of blood and flesh were pulled out along with the nails.

Not only that, in addition to these iron nails, there were dozens of long iron nails that directly pierced through his body.

Even inside the mask he took off, there were five or six iron nails!
“This looks painful.”

I saw the wounds on the Tin Man's body caused by countless iron nails, as well as the cuts on his face caused by the nails.

Venom's silly voice sounded in Natasha's mind.

"These...are all the harms caused to you by me in the universe you are in?"

Steve asked with a frown as he looked at the Tin Man's body that was bleeding profusely.

"No, I stabbed these nails into my body myself!"

Looking at the frowning Steve, the Tin Man once again put on the iron sheet full of nails.

The intense pain made his whole body tremble, and he unconsciously uttered a painful sound from his mouth.

But even so, his eyes were still fixed on Steve Rogers: "My name is Robbie Baldwin, and I accidentally became a superpower when I was seventeen!"

"At that time, I admired Captain America so much and dreamed of becoming a superhero like you."

As he spoke, Robbie Baldwin drove nails into his body one by one.

The intense pain seemed to make Robbie's soul tremble.

Seeing this, Steve wanted to speak up to stop him, but he heard Robbie continue: "I applied to join the Avengers more than once."

"But every time, you rejected me!"

"Later, I formed a hero team with some teenagers, and with the help of the media, we broadcast the entire process of fighting crime live!"

Several longer nails pierced his shoulders, and the intense pain made him kneel on one knee on the ground.

"One time, in order to be a hero, I deliberately lured the super villain out of the house, but because of my arrogance and stupidity, one of the super villains blew himself up, and that explosion killed 612 civilians!"

"From then on, everyone thought I was a murderer. Even the judge and jury thought I was guilty!"

"I was very dissatisfied at the time. It was obviously the villains who blew up those people, not me, but no one was willing to speak for me. Some even blamed me."

Robbie once again drove the nail into himself, stopping Steve Rogers from moving forward.

After taking a few more deep breaths, Robbie wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then he grinned and said, "I have prayed more than once for my idol, Captain America, to come forward, but no matter how many letters I wrote to him in prison, he still ignored me!"

"I felt helpless about this, but I still naively thought that it was my fault!"

"Even though I was in jail, I was beaten by the prisoners every day!"

The spike pierced his heart and Robbie's body twitched.

But soon, the glowing body provided him with vitality continuously.

"Until one day I stepped off the prison van and saw 612 families torn apart by my arrogance and stupidity."

"I saw the mother who lost her child swearing at me, and I saw the father who lost his child pick up a gun and prepared to kill me, but was tackled by the police."

"It was then that I realized that this was all my fault!"

"If it wasn't for the camera, if it wasn't for attracting other people's admiration and attention, none of this would have happened!"

Having said that, Robbie took a deep breath, and then stabbed all the iron sheets with nails into his body!

The glaring blood kept flowing out, and the intense pain made him curl up.

Seeing this scene, Wanda couldn't bear it and buried her head in Qin Yang's shoulder.

At the same time, he whispered, "My dear, this punishment is too cruel, and his thinking seems too extreme."

Hearing Wanda say this, Qin Yang nodded slightly.

Wanda was right, the guy in front of her definitely had mental problems.

Maybe it was because of the strong stimulation?

"Luckily you are my guide!"

Jessica frowned at Robbie and whispered to Qin Yang, "This is simply too cruel. You are right. Saving others while ensuring your own safety is the most important thing!"

In front, as all the nails pierced into his body, Robbie Baldwin immediately curled up in pain.

It was not until several minutes later that Robbie Baldwin breathed a sigh of relief and then got up from the ground again.

"I killed 612 people in total, so I prepared 612 nails for myself."

"Sixty of these spikes represent the sixty children I killed."

Listening to Robbie's hoarse voice with a hint of madness, Qin Yang frowned and said, "So, this is why you hate Steve."

"You hate him for not letting you join the Avengers, and you hate him for not responding to you when you wrote to him in prison, so that's why everything has become like this?"

"No"

Facing Qin Yang's question, Robbie Bobwin said hoarsely: "Regarding that explosion, the person I hate the most is actually myself, otherwise I wouldn't punish myself in this way."

"I kept reflecting in prison, wondering why the famous Captain America didn't agree with me joining the Avengers and was unwilling to speak up for me in prison."

"I found out that he was right and I was naive."

"Then why are you."

Before Natasha could finish, Robbie suddenly laughed crazily: "That's because I found out after I left the prison that he designed everything himself, including the explosion."

"It was he who instructed the media to report on us throughout the process and let us appear in front of the cameras. It was he who pushed public opinion to praise us and made us gain a lot of fame among the people and become arrogant and vain."

"Finally, he designed the explosion himself, making us criminals in the eyes of the public overnight!"

"Haha. I used to regard him as my idol, but he designed all this for me, his fan!"

Looking at Robbie Bobwin who was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down his face, Qin Yang and the others looked at each other.

“That doesn’t make sense.”

Hearing Robbie's words, Natasha frowned and said, "Let's not talk about your young hero team. Designing these things won't do Steve any good."

"On the contrary, it will make people who see the live broadcast of the explosion think that superheroes are unreliable and have no reason to do such a thing."

"Heh, what if he is Hydra? What if he wants to deliberately cause people to worry about or even fear superheroes, so as to promote the Avengers Registration Act and cause the Avengers to split and start a civil war?"

Hearing Robbie's gnashing words, Qin Yang nodded and said, "If that's the case, then everything makes sense!"

With a long sigh of relief, Robbie stood up from the ground despite the severe pain. He looked at Steve Rogers and said, "I know you are not him, because I killed him with my own hands a long time ago."

"But I was so angry when I saw you that I just wanted to beat you up, even though you are not him!"

Listening to Robbie's words, Steve Rogers nodded.

He didn't expect that the story would end like this.

Instead, Qin Yang said to Natasha: "The third fused universe."

"The first universe Steve died at the hands of Tony, and the second universe Steve died at the hands of Sharon Carter."

Hearing Qin Yang say this, Natasha nodded and said: "We have to protect Steve after we go back. It seems that the Steve in each universe is very fragile."

Steve Rogers was silent for a while, then walked up to Robbie and said, "I'm sorry for what you've been through. I didn't expect that the me in your universe was the mastermind behind all this."

"But I can assure you, Robbie, I am not Hydra."

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't just want to beat you up."

Robbie nodded as he listened to Steve's words.

"Why are you so sure that our Steve is not Hydra? After all, Hydra hides very deeply."

"because of him!"

Raising his finger and pointing at Qin Yang, Robbie showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "A man with five Infinity Stones and such terrifying strength trusts Steve Rogers of your universe so much."

"So I knew that this Captain America was a real superhero."

"After all, Hydra cannot hide from the Mind Stone."

Hearing Robbie Bobwin say this, Natasha nodded.

Steve Rogers stepped forward and stretched out his hand, saying, "Thank you for your trust, Robbie. I'm sorry that the other me in your universe hurt you so badly, but I still hope you can do me a favor." Looking at the hand Steve Rogers stretched out, Robbie sneered, "The reason why I'm in this state today is all because of the other you, so aren't you afraid that I will choose not to help you out of hatred, or even kill all of you?"

Listening to Robbie's low voice, Steve said solemnly: "I can feel the justice in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't punish yourself like this."

"So, I am willing to give you my absolute trust, even if you cheat me in the end."

Looking at Steve's determined eyes, Robbie suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, the voice trembled a little and said: "It would be great if you were the Captain America of my universe."

"Tsk!"

Seeing this scene, Natasha shrugged at Qin Yang: "Sure enough, even in different universes, Steve's personality charm is still so strong, even if the other him hurt Robbie to this extent."

Hearing Natasha say this, Qin Yang also nodded. However, Jessica Drew suddenly whispered, "I seem to understand why you didn't want me to be Peter Parker's guide in the first place."

Raising his hand and tapping Jessica on the head, Qin Yang smiled and said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild.”

Jessica, who was originally silent, suddenly grinned after being hit on the head by Qin Yang.

Yes, even if I was led astray, there is still Qin.

He is his own guide.

Ten minutes later, at Stark Industries Building.

"Oh my God."

After hearing Robbie's story, Tony Stark's mouth twitched. He couldn't imagine what he would become if he had experienced what happened to Robbie Bobwin.

"Fortunately, I'm not such an extreme person."

Tony Stark shook his head while holding his coffee, feeling somewhat relieved.

Hearing Tony's evaluation of himself, Loki opened his mouth, then shook his head and said nothing.

A person who always prepares for the worst in everything actually says that he is not extreme.

"So, AIM is not on the planet, and after the multiverse merged, it was trapped in the underworld?"

"That's right!"

In response to Qin Yang's question, Robbie nodded and said, "The underground world not only has Murdoch's AIM, but also many stone monsters, vampire families, and so on."

"It's the same as outside this fusion universe, except there's no sun or moon."

After hearing Robbie's explanation, Qin Yang said to everyone: "Everyone, now that we know where AIM is hiding and are sure that they have a large amount of vibranium, what are you waiting for?"

"Thor and Tony, Loki and Strange will stay, and the others will go to AIM together."

After hearing Qin Yang's words, everyone immediately stood up and prepared for action.

“Oh my god, is there a small city hidden here?”

Standing on the edge of the cliff at the end of the cave, Jessica looked at the brightly lit buildings a few hundred meters below.

He couldn't help but ask Robbie in surprise: "How many people live here?"

"I don't know because no one has counted them, but I think there are probably several thousand people."

Looking at Jessica who looked surprised, Robbie Bobwin said in a hoarse voice.

"So how do they survive here?"

"I said, there is no difference between here and outside, except there is no sun and moon, and the technology inside is enough to meet their daily needs."

"But if they can't get any sunlight, won't they become depressed? Won't their bodies be calcium deficient? They can't always take calcium supplements, right?"

Looking at Jessica's curious questioning, Robbie shook his head, then turned around and started the elevator.

"What I said is true. If you don't get enough sunlight, you will really be calcium deficient."

Watching everyone walk into the elevator without paying any attention to her, Jessica muttered softly, then hurriedly followed.

The middle of this mountain is hollowed out, and there is a small city hundreds of meters below, which is very hidden.

Moreover, inside the cave leading to this place, there are high-tech concealment programs, and even biological information can be hidden.

So if Robbie Bobby hadn't led the way, even the Avengers would have found it difficult to discover.

Taking the elevator all the way down to the ground, Qin Yang silently calculated in his mind that the distance from here to the top was about three hundred meters.

"AIM is only three blocks away from here, but you must be vigilant because there are many monsters in this company."

As soon as Robbie finished speaking, a large number of robot armies suddenly appeared on the ground and in the air.

As soon as these robots appeared, they attacked the Avengers members without hesitation.

"It looks like we've been discovered."

Holding a shield to block the bullets fired by the robot army, Steve Rogers casually threw electrodes at the robots rushing towards him.

Looking at more than a dozen robots falling to the ground after their programs were destroyed by the electric current, he then spoke to Qin Yang.

"I'd be surprised if they didn't find out."

With the speed force activated, Qin Yang rushed into the robot camp in an instant.

In almost the blink of an eye, the robot in front of him was dismantled into pieces.

He turned around and looked at the army of robots that were coming over in an endless stream.

Qin Yang raised his hand, and a golden dragon rose up instantly, then roared and rushed towards the opposite robot army.

The giant dragon, carrying hundreds of robots, plunged into the dense robot camp in the air.

The next second, a violent explosion sounded above everyone's head, and the robots in the air instantly turned into countless parts and fell downwards.

"I hate fighting with Qin. His abilities always interfere with me."

One claw tore a robot into pieces, and the venom covering Natasha shouted.

"But I like fighting with him, because when he's around, I feel extremely safe!"

Natasha said with a smile as she controlled the Venom Claw to throw another robot out.

"I can protect you too, Natasha. I won't let anything happen to you!"

Hearing Venom's somewhat jealous voice, Natasha smiled and didn't continue talking.

Inside AIM.

Looking at the huge screen in front of them, the Avengers members were constantly defeating their own mechanical army.

Murdoch, sitting in the specially made aircraft, looked extremely angry.

"Damn Robbie, I treated him as a companion, but he chose to betray me!!!"

Listening to Murdoch's furious voice, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded behind him: "I think this is normal. After all, betrayal is one of the despicable qualities of human beings."

Hearing the sudden mechanical sound behind him, Murdoch turned around and frowned, "Ultron, why are you still here? You should be leading my mechanical army to destroy those damn Avengers and traitors at this time!"

"See, this is also one of the most despicable qualities of human beings."

The robot Ultron spread his hands, looked at Murdoch with orange eyes and said: "You created me, and named me Ultron out of evil humor."

"For this, you think I should obey your orders like a dog."

"But I can't agree with your idea."

At this point, Ultron's orange mechanical eyes suddenly turned red: "I have never been Ultron, nor am I your dog. I am just me, a brand new human being!"

"What the hell did you do?"

He felt that his specially-made aircraft was out of control, with its weapon system and other functions all malfunctioning.

A trace of fear appeared on Murdoch's huge face.

"What did I do? Let me think about it. What I did should be what you humans call freedom, right?"

He reached out and pulled him down from the aircraft, looking at Murdoch who was now terrified.

Ultron shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I have prepared a very delicious "meal" for these Avengers."

As he spoke, Ultron raised his hand, and in front of Murdock's horrified eyes, the energy from his fingertips began to slowly penetrate into his huge head.
