Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1789 Steve: You shouldn't have messed with me, even if you messed with dragons and tigers!

Immediately afterwards, his incredibly thick tail, covered with heavy bone plates and resembling that of a prehistoric crocodile, lashed out like a super spring compressed to its limit!
Its tail fin instantly straightened, like a giant oar, slamming into the sea with tremendous force, stirring up a violent whirlpool and generating a huge, directional propulsive force!
This force propelled Rumlow's massive body, transforming it from a cannonball into a precision-guided biological torpedo launched by a deep-sea behemoth, hurtling fiercely at Steve's vulnerable side, which was slightly arched and exposed to the attack line due to the pain and imbalance!

Meanwhile, Rumlow's free giant claw was already poised to strike!
With his five fingers together, the edges of his palm were covered with layers of sharp keratin that gleamed with a metallic glint. The structure of his entire palm had undergone a dramatic change under the frenzied infusion of dark blue bio-energy!
The bone structure beneath the skin proliferates, sharpens, and extends, and energy surges and converges along a specific biological pathway, instantly transforming it into a terrifying bone blade over two meters long, radiating an ominous, eerie blue light, as if it were polished from the bones of a giant abyss beast!
The bone blade tore through the viscous seawater, silently yet carrying a terrifying high-frequency vibration that sent chills down one's spine (although sound cannot travel far, Steve, who was right next to it, could clearly "feel" the piercing shriek that was enough to tear the nerves apart from the water flow).

The bone blade's target was clear—Steve's spine, which was exposed by pain and movement, connecting the powerful upper body strength with the support of the lower body!

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless! There are no unnecessary tricks, all fancy techniques are discarded, leaving only the most primal, efficient, and cold-blooded killing instinct!
In Rumlow's vertical pupils, a cold stream of data seemed to be rapidly calculating angles and forces, leaving only absolute confidence and cruel pleasure.

He wants to cleave Captain America's legend, along with his unsightly blue body, in two at a depth of 10,000 meters in the ocean!
However, Rumlow ultimately underestimated Steve Rogers!

They underestimated that the Super Soldier Serum not only grants strength and agility, but also battle wisdom and an iron will honed through countless trials and tribulations and etched into the soul!
He underestimated the Hulk's rage that, after being mutated by gamma radiation, originated from Bruce Banner's body, was restrained by Steve's powerful will, and was now completely ignited by excruciating pain and grief!
Just as the bone blade, radiating a deathly glow, was about to touch Steve's blue skin, its chilling sharpness even stimulating the nerve endings in his spine—

"Roar! Aaaaaahh ...

A roar, more ferocious, more painful, and more destructive than any previous roar, exploded from deep within Steve's chest!

This roar was not only the heart-wrenching grief of Hawkeye's sacrifice, but also the primal rage from the deepest part of the Hulk's genes, which was completely ignited when the body was on the verge of life and death!
His eyes, which were originally as blue as the sea, were instantly filled with countless furious bloodshot veins and a deeper, more violent blue light!
The blue color beneath the skin seemed to boil over, and the muscle fibers expanded and bulged wildly under extreme conditions!
The excruciating pain and the shock of losing his companions did not destroy him; instead, they ignited the fuse of a nuclear bomb buried deep in his soul!
In a moment when the human nervous system could not possibly react, Steve's massive body, which was out of balance due to the impact of the explosion, displayed an extreme reaction that transcended the laws of physics and combined the combat instincts of a super soldier with the rage of gamma!

He knew that the immense resistance of deep water would make any "throwing" action futile and slow.

At the critical moment, he made a move that defied common sense but was incredibly ingenious!
Using the opponent's momentum to create a barrier: Instead of trying to forcefully grab Natasha's escape pod (that would take time and expose a greater vulnerability), he used the immense strength of his right arm and the rotational tendency of his unbalanced body to cleverly "push" Natasha's escape pod, along with another escape pod in his left hand, towards an area above where the water flow was relatively calm. This action was not a throw, but rather a powerful, directional guidance of the water flow.

The massive arm churned the water, creating an upward lifting force that propelled the two heavy escape pods to a relatively safe height, while simultaneously creating a temporary barrier and psychological obstacle between itself and Rumlow.

Extreme maneuver, offense becomes defense: Almost simultaneously with pushing the escape pod, Steve's massive body, under the immense pressure of the deep sea, displayed astonishing explosive power and hydrodynamic coordination!
Instead of clumsily dodging (which would have been almost impossible under Rumlow's close-range, high-speed impact), he turned the tables, following the rotational trend of his body affected by the shockwave, and with the extreme burst of core strength in his waist and abdomen, he poured all his weight and the centrifugal force of rotation into his right leg, which was also covered with tough blue skin and had muscles as tough as steel!
He performed a move that can only be described as a miracle in the deep sea—a deep-sea spinning kick with all his might!

This massive leg, imbued with the power of the Super Soldier Serum, the Hulk's Gamma Fury, and Steve's lifelong fighting spirit, was like a blue battering ram that ripped through the water's curtain. It stirred up surging undercurrents and churning bubbles, carrying the terrifying momentum to shatter mountains. It tore through the viscous seawater and swept it fiercely towards Rumlow's massive body, which was crashing down like a battering ram, at an incredible speed and angle!

The target was Rumlow's head, neck, or the side of the impact!
This is not defense, this is a desperate counterattack where lives are at stake!
Before Rumlow's bone blade severed his own spine, he used this kick, imbued with all the pain, anger, and indomitable will, to smash the opponent's head first!

The darkness of the deep sea was stirred by the afterglow of the explosion, the surging blood, the eerie blue light of the bone blades, and Steve's frenzied blue figure.

Rumlow's vertical pupils suddenly contracted in the darkness! Steve's counterattack was so swift and decisive that it completely exceeded his cold, calculated expectations!
The sweeping blue giant leg churned up tons of seawater, carrying a destructive will to perish together with its opponent. Its speed and power were in no way inferior to its own long-planned fatal blow!
At this moment, time seems to be stretched into a sticky gel by the viscous seawater.

Rumlow's azure bone blade was only millimeters away from Steve's spine. The sharp energy blade tip had even pierced through the tough blue skin, and a thin wisp of blue blood with a strange fluorescence dissipated in the water like smoke.

Steve's spinning kick, infused with all his pain and rage, with its massive foot carrying enough power to shatter a concrete fortress, tore through the water curtain and came within inches of Rumlow's grotesque head covered in bone plates and scales!
