The system handed me over to the state.

"Captain, I sense some kind of energy erupting in the city center! We should go there immediately to see what's going on."

Brandon, embodying the spirit of individual heroism both in movies and in real life, answered without hesitation. Captain America hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's go see what happened!"

The two quickly left the room and came out onto the street. Then, they saw a purple beam of energy rising above Stark Tower. "My God... what's that? Natasha? Did you see that?"

"Captain, I can't see... Oh, damn it, what is that thing!"

Natasha quickly retrieved footage from nearby cameras, watching the purple beam of light shooting straight into the sky. Thanos's influence wasn't over yet, so why was something else suddenly happening? What was it this time? Was it another invasion by those damned aliens?

But there was no other way; Captain America and Brandon could only rush inside to see what was happening. If it really was another alien invasion, then the trouble would be immense.

.................

Meanwhile, below the beam of light, Bronya and Blackie looked at the purple pillar of light in front of them. "I never expected this thing to cause such a commotion."

"Bronya, this is a Honkai energy focuser."

Hei hope sighed helplessly. This kind of thing also appeared in her world later. It was used to focus a large amount of Honkai energy together and then forcibly create something similar to a Herrscher. It required an extremely large amount of Honkai energy. In this world without Honkai energy, they could only be powered by the Honkai energy in their bodies.

However, even under these circumstances, Hei hope was shocked because Bronya alone completed the energy supply to the Honkai Energy Focuser, and even after the supply ended, she still seemed to be in complete control.

Just how much Honkai energy is inside Bronya's body?!

Hei hope couldn't help but think, and at that moment, the purple Honkai energy beam gradually began to turn blue. Bronya also noticed that the nature of the Honkai energy in front of her was gradually changing. "Pseudo-Herrscher... what do you think a pseudo-Herrscher born here would look like?"

"I don't know... Hmm? Someone's coming."

A wicked smile crept across Blackie's face as he turned around, spotting Brandon and Captain America. "Looks like we have some guests..."

Bronya shook her head and waved her hand, saying, "It's up to you. Just kill that contractor easily, and go easy on Captain America... I still have a use."

Yes, Bronya still has a use. She suddenly had a good idea: what would it be like if Captain America, who protects the world, became a Herrscher and then wielded his shield to attack the American people he was protecting?

However, the fact that Honkai energy can only exist in female bodies is also a problem. If Captain America is made into a woman, then others may not be able to recognize him. So, how can we make Captain America a Herrscher while maintaining his gender?

However, the First Herrscher and Welt are special cases. It seems we need to see if Captain America's body can withstand the erosion of Honkai energy under the super serum.

While Bronya was pondering, Heishi intercepted them, saying, "Hmm~ Interesting human contractors and elite human warriors. Let me see what you're capable of!"

In an instant, the scythe in Hei Xi's right hand transformed into a grappling hook, grabbing Captain America and pulling him sharply towards her. Instinctively, Captain America raised his shield and clashed heavily with Hei Xi's scythe. With this strike, Captain America was sent flying and tumbling across the ground, while Hei hope stepped back slightly and clicked her tongue.

"Is this the vibranium shield? It's really not a very good toy!"

"But this is the end!"

Hei hope raised the scythe high above her head, and a black and red swamp-like power condensed and formed in her hand. In an instant, it separated, and huge black and red claws formed at her side.

"Haha~ Let's play together!"

Black Heath wielded his massive chain claws and engaged the two in a fierce battle. Brandon, his entire body enveloped in lightning, unleashed bolts of lightning from his hands, shooting towards Black Heath like rays. But Black Heath suddenly sank into the ground, reappearing beside Captain America the next second. "Get out of here! We don't need you here!"

As she spoke, one claw gripped Captain America's shield tightly, then ripped it off his arm, while the other claw grabbed Captain America and flung him toward Bronya.

Bronya's little rabbit grabbed Captain America, who was thrown at her by Blackie, and held him like a toy. He struggled, but the little rabbit's hand did not budge. At this moment, his 50/50 physique was completely ineffective against these contractors.

"What... exactly do you want to do?"

Captain America gritted his teeth and questioned Bronya in front of him. Bronya slowly turned her head and glanced at Captain America with her light blue eyes. "Don't worry, all the pain will soon leave you. You will become the sharp edge that renews this world."

"what?"

Bronya suddenly raised her hand, and the blue beam of light slowly contracted and disappeared. More and more blue energy gathered in her palm, compressing and solidifying from a huge sphere until it finally formed a deep blue gem.

"Captain America, I wonder... what kind of pseudo-Herrscher you will become under the influence of this gem?"

The Heavy Bunny lifted Captain America up, facing Bronya, while Bronya slowly brought the gem closer to him. He struggled frantically, shouting, "Kill me, and you won't succeed!"

Bronya smiled slightly, "I won't kill you. I told you, you will become the vanguard of the new world. Go, pseudo-Herrscher, Captain America."

The blue gem suddenly rushed into Captain America's body, and a white and purple keratin layer quickly formed on his body surface. Purple lines climbed up Captain America's neck, and a heart-wrenching scream came from Captain America's mouth.

This world is about to undergo a dramatic change!

Chapter 90: The Great Collapse Raid

"Ahem...Are you also a contractor from Shenzhou?"

Brandon clutched his wounded abdomen and looked at the relaxed Seele in front of him, asking a question. Only now did he realize that the words she was speaking were Chinese, not any other language. He had subconsciously overlooked this because of the system's built-in translation function.

Now he realized why the other party was so powerful.

He couldn't understand why, as fellow contractors from the same period, the other's abilities were so powerful while his own were so weak.

He had always thought he was very powerful, but now he had suffered such a defeat. If Seele in front of him was this powerful, then how powerful was that guy... that gray-haired girl?

Just then, Brandon suddenly thought of a possibility: it wasn't necessarily that the other party was very strong! It was possible that the other party was a summoner-type being, and the girl she had a contract with was just very strong!

Brandon, as if he had found a possibility, gritted his teeth. He still had a chance to fight back. If the summoner died, then the girl in front of him who was under contract would also be forced to die. He still had a chance to make this contractor stupid and stop everything in front of him!

But... looking at that huge blue and white robot next to me, which is also a summoned creature, how am I supposed to get past its defenses and attacks?

Just then, Brandon suddenly thought of a possibility... Yes, he still had that ability, that's right, that ability.

Brandon's right hand emitted a faint green light, and the wound on his chest quickly stopped bleeding and scabbed over. This was the limit of his current healing skills, but it was enough for this situation.

He slowly squatted down, the color of the lightning gradually faded and became thinner, and he began to take deep breaths... panting, deep breaths... panting.

Everything around him began to slow down in his eyes. At that moment, he took his first step, slowly, like a slowed-down image. With each step, tiny flashes of lightning spread out from the soles of his feet.

He took another step, and another, step by step... while Hei hope, standing to the side, remained staring at the spot where Brandon had just been, as if frozen in time.

Brandon moved very slowly, maintaining a running posture but not quite a full run, while the surrounding environment moved even slower. And so, his body radiating lightning, he rushed step by step towards Bronya. Just as he raised his hand, the dagger in his hand about to plunge down...

A smug smile spread across his face.

But the next moment, a tremendous force suddenly descended from the sky, slamming Brandon into the ground. Instantly, the surrounding environment was completely restored. Hei Xi looked at the empty scene in front of him in surprise, then turned his head sharply, only to find that Little Rabbit was holding Brandon tightly in her hand.

"What...just happened?"

Hei hope stared at the scene before her in surprise. Bronya slowly turned her head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What's going on?"

Hei hope stared blankly at Brandon, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable. "This guy... suddenly disappeared from my sight. I only saw a flash of lightning, and then he appeared here with you."

Bronya glanced back and pondered, "It's probably a time-related ability. I didn't expect this guy to be hiding such an ability... But that's all for now."

Bronya shook her head, and Heavy Bunny immediately squeezed hard. With a crisp cracking and popping sound, Brandon in Heavy Bunny's hand was completely turned into a mass of minced flesh and bone.

The moment Bronya received the points, she glanced to the other side, at Captain America, who was encased in a white, Honkai-like shell. "That took a while," she thought, "and..."

Feeling the rapid dissipation of Honkai energy around them, at this rate, it would cover the entire city in less than a day. At that time, this Marvel world would face a collapse, a massive collapse led by Captain America that would sweep across the entire world.

Just then, Bronya suddenly received a notification from the system.

[Because you triggered the Great Collapse, a special faction war has been initiated. The Collapse will spread rapidly in a short period of time, the frequency and probability of the spawning of Suicide Honkai Beasts will increase, and superheroes without the ability to resist will be assimilated.]

[WARNING! A special faction war has begun, with two factions: the Human Faction and the Honkai Faction. You have been assigned to the Honkai Faction, and you must protect New York City, the core of the Honkai, and prevent it from being destroyed by other Contractors and superheroes.]

Meanwhile, other contractors also received similar notifications.

[Special Faction War has begun! Warning! Special Faction War has begun!]

You have been assigned to the human faction.

[Gain Passive: Honkai Energy Resistance MAX. You will not be assimilated or corrupted by Honkai energy, but you are not immune to damage caused by Honkai energy and cannot absorb Honkai energy for your own use.]

[Passive Skill Acquired: Highest Reputation. You have achieved the highest reputation with the Human faction. Anything you say will be respected by the Human faction.]

[Gained Passive: Supreme Magic Learning Aptitude. You can now travel to Kamar-Taj to learn Supreme Magic.]

[Items obtained: Resurrection Coin x1, Heavenly-grade HP Potion x10, Supreme-grade Strength Potion x10, Golden Throne Potent Potion x2, Divine Blessing x1]

[Special Faction War Start Time Remaining: 14 days, 23 hours, and 59 seconds.....]

When the contractors saw this news, they were all clearly stunned. They never expected that such a thing would happen, and that the factional battle had inexplicably turned into a large-scale battle.

What the hell?! So many passive abilities, items, and 15 days of preparation time—just how terrifying is this raid?!

Especially when these contractors saw the general strategy guide for this raid, they were all stunned. Honkai? What is that? Void Creature? What is that? Why are there only names and pictures but no detailed information?

Meanwhile, Bronya looked at the system notification in front of her, "Looks like... this is getting a bit troublesome. We've become the complete villains, even giving the human faction's contractors so many passive abilities and items..."

"If I remember correctly, this divine blessing is an invincible potion."

She had also played the famous game DNF, but she didn't play it very deeply. She didn't invest a lot of money or time in it. She basically only played it occasionally and did some raids. These things are basically only used when raiding!

"It seems that Bronya has become the main villain!"

Hei hope savored the system notification she had just received. Yes, the system had also notified her, so she knew what had happened.

However, it's still a bit surprising that he directly becomes the villainous BOSS.

Bronya rubbed her chin. "Hmm, if it's a villainous boss, then we'll need to plan our next move carefully."

The human forces are no pushovers either; Kamar-Taj alone is enough for her to handle, not to mention Iron Man and the Hulk... However, the assimilation and erosion by the Honkai and the Void is an advantage for her, and perhaps she needs to make good use of this characteristic to win easily.

Chapter 91: There's a mole! Stop the deal!

Fifteen days later... in an intact building in New York City.

"This is so boring. I thought that even after we became bosses, we could still roam around, but it turns out we can only move around in this area. But after we caused the Honkai, does that mean... the Infinity Stones won't be brought back?"

Hei hope looked at the Honkai Beasts rushing past the window and felt a little bored. She could kill these Honkai Beasts, but to them, she was like a queen. They didn't dare to touch her at all. She was completely defenseless when they killed her. It was too boring.

Those who originally wanted to leave the city to fight other contractors or superheroes were also unable to leave.

So for the past few days, she and Bronya have basically stayed in the city, living a life of doing nothing.

Bronya stared at the machine analyzing the Power Stone in front of her. The analysis was not progressing very well. The structure of the Power Stone was still too complex, and an unanalyzable energy field lingered around the stone, interfering with the analysis at any time and sometimes even releasing shockwaves that destroyed all the analysis instruments.

In just half a month, Bronya lost count of the number of analytical instruments destroyed by the shockwave.

He sighed slightly, "Is this Power Gem really that complicated?"

Even though she doesn't possess much power to begin with, and her power level is still there, she always uses Herrscher energy to consume the power gem's energy before analyzing it, thus ensuring her safety for a period of time.

"After all, it's an Infinity Stone that was created at the very beginning of the Marvel universe. Can the Herrscher of Reason's abilities analyze something that's billions of years old?"

"It depends... As long as there's a principle, it can be analyzed... Right now, the analysis is very slow because I can't find the structural principle of the Power Gem."

"Moreover, although the Power Stone we possess is not from this Marvel universe, it still possesses its strongest form in this world, even if it's a weakened version, it's still a weakened version of the strongest form."
