Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 539 Avengers vs. Demons (Second Update)

"Peggy, can you hear me?"

The wizard can save you. You'll be alright. Whether you want to live again or continue living as you are, the wizard can help you.

Steve went to Carter's bedside, took her hand, and explained gently.

However, upon hearing Steve's words, Carter smiled and shook her head, using her last strength to slowly give her answer:

"Thank you, but Steve, I won't choose either one. I've lived a good life so far, I have my own children and my own family."

The important thing is you, Steve. I hope you can move on from the past, look forward, and find your own happiness.

"But Peggy, I..."

When Steve heard that Carter didn't want to live any longer, his voice choked with emotion, and he wanted to try to persuade him again.

However, his words of persuasion were interrupted by Carter's hand, which he lifted with difficulty and placed on his cheek:

"Steve, stop trying to persuade me. This is a decision I made a long time ago. Nick wanted to use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s biotechnology to help me prolong my life, but I refused."

One shouldn't be too greedy in life. I'm already very happy to see you again in the last few years before I leave this world. Just like this, you stay with me until the very end, that's enough.

"Okay, Peggy, I'll be with you, until the very end."

Steve grasped Carter's hand, clearly having decided to respect her decision.

Jerry, who had been standing to the side, sighed inwardly upon hearing this.

It is indeed not something an ordinary person can do when they know they can turn back the clock and return to their youth, yet still refuse without hesitation and calmly accept the arrival of death.

At least, in Jerry's opinion, he certainly couldn't do it himself.

If he could live, he hoped he could live forever. He felt that there were still many unknown secrets in this world and this universe that he needed to explore.

He still has a lot of magical knowledge to learn and wants to see things at a higher level.

However, he naturally respected Carter's choice. Everyone's experiences and thoughts are different, so the choices they make will naturally be different.

Carter's acceptance of death was partly due to her high level of moral awareness, and partly, Jerry believed, because she had moved on from that relationship after Steve's disappearance.

Previously in the world of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Jerry had watched two TV series about Agent Carter that were specially made after Steve was frozen in ice.

After Steve was frozen, Carter did numb himself for a long time by living the life of a secret agent, but he was later healed by others, found new love, got married, and had a son and a daughter.

It can be said that she has achieved success in both her career and love life.

The only regret was not being able to see Steve one last time, but that regret has now been made up for.

So, if Carter were to truly return to her youth, she would no longer be the Carter she once was, and naturally, there would be no possibility of a continuation between her and Steve.

Carter himself probably understands all of this very well.

"Peggy!!!"

After giving his last words, Carter passed away peacefully with a smile on his face.

And Steve, the famous Captain America, also shed sad tears for the person he loved most.

Although Carter is no longer the same Carter, Steve, who has been frozen for seventy years, is still the same Steve, and his love for Carter has never changed.

Although Carter is now an old man with white hair.

"Steve, my condolences!"

Half an hour later, as Carter's body was being taken away by his niece, Jerry went up to Steve, who was still grieving, and patted him on the shoulder, offering a few words of comfort.

After composing himself, Steve apologized to Jerry.

"Jerry, I'm sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing!"

"To be honest, it wasn't a wasted trip; I was quite moved by what I saw."

Jerry shrugged. He thought the outcome was actually pretty good. After all, Steve could also travel to a parallel universe, to the timeline where he had just been frozen, through a time machine in the future.

Then he can dance that dance with Carter, who has been waiting for him to dance in that timeline, and live a happy life together.

He remembered that's how it was in the movie; after Carter on that side passed away, he returned to the main universe and also brought the shield from the parallel universe back with him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the Pym particle, which could enter the quantum realm; that was also a good thing.

His time magic can also take him back to the past, and he can also use the time converter to go back to the past, but he can't go back too far, unlike Pym Particles which can go back to any time.

Of course, that's not what he's really concerned about. What he's concerned about is that using Pym particles can allow him to enter the quantum realm, and he's very curious about the quantum realm.

He wondered if exploring the quantum realm could help improve his magic.

"Steve, have you guys seen someone lately who can shrink their body to the size of an ant?"

He remembered that, at this time, Ant-Man should have already come to the Avengers and stolen the signal cloak.

Steve looked at Jerry with some surprise:

"Yes, his name is Scott, and he calls himself Ant-Man. He came to the base to steal things a while ago and happened to run into your sister. Your sister used her enlargement magic to prevent him from shrinking, and then we caught him."

Later, after S.H.I.E.L.D. and Tony confirmed that it was a professor who had previously resigned from S.H.I.E.L.D. who was sent to retrieve a signal disguise device he had invented, they let him go.

"What, you know him?"

"I don't know him, but I need to talk to him about something."

Jerry smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

Steve didn't ask any further questions, but simply reminded him:

"Tony has all the information on that Scott and is preparing to invite him to join the Avengers. If you want to find him, you can ask Tony for his contact information."

Jerry nodded, then exchanged a few more words with Steve before Apparating back to his New York villa.

There's no rush with the quantum realm. Dr. Pym probably hasn't invented the machine that can safely enter the quantum realm to save his wife yet.

Let's finish the show two days from now first, then go to Wakanda to get some vibranium, and then use the Uru metal that Thor brought back from Asgard's Vault to upgrade the twelve sets of golden armor.

The next day, Jerry went to London again to attend Carter's funeral.

On the third day, the world war between the Avengers and the demons of the abyss, which had garnered global attention, finally unfolded as planned.
