Chapter 1407: Faith Is Not Dead The trial is adjourned
The Eye of Judgment. Definitely one of the most terrifying forces in this world. Its horror lies not in its strength, but in its merciless judgment on the heart and even the depths of the soul.
It is impossible for anyone to ignore their own hearts. It is impossible for anyone to lie to their soul. When the soul and the heart are used as evidence to inflict judgment on a naked person, it is almost impossible for a sinner to be spared.
So far, almost all of the people who have been seen by the Eye of Judgment have already gotten their fair share. The only exception was Natasha, and that was also because there was a stronger and irresistible being that helped her get through it. And now, Steve doesn't have such an irresistible presence around him to tide him over. So, the little spider didn't believe that Steve would be able to hold on.
He's done so much, and it's time to pay for everything he's done. Even if he's Steve. The same goes for Rogers, the once perfect being. This is where it all ends, and it's time for the Captain America story to come to an end. That's what he thought in his heart, but things didn't go the way he expected.
The flames of hell had indeed begun to burn in Steve's body, but he had not been reduced to ashes by the flames.
It's not because Steve's power is stopping the flames from spreading. The little spider is well aware that the power of the Eye of Judgment is activated against the enemy from the soul. If a flame is born, it is only a flame that will be born from the soul. His soul was already burning and had spread to his body. But for some reason, this burning doesn't seem to be able to destroy him at all, destroying this guy named Steve. Rogers' presence.
He was now like a fire man, a burning fire man. But he is also like a golden man now, a golden man who will never melt. For such an existence, the little spider can't judge what the specific situation is all about. He could only wait and see, waiting for the final result.
And while he was watching, his teammates couldn't hold back. Without the suppression of the Broken Steel Sword, Hulk has broken free from the predicament. And with the anger in his heart at the moment, he definitely had 10,000 reasons to smash Steve into a meatloaf.
There is no hesitation and there is no need to hesitate. He was already roaring and rushing at Steve. And just as he was about to give Steve an iron fist, his teammate Spider stopped him, so that his fist was stopped by force.
This feeling is not a pleasant thing for the Hulk, who wants to pay attention to it first and then talk about it, and I can do it refreshingly. So he immediately let out a shocking roar at his companion.
The loud voice and the loud breath made the flames on the little spider's body begin to shake, but the little spider himself did not waver. He still held Hulk's fist firmly and spoke to him earnestly.
"Wait, Hulk. Wait a little longer, I want to... See the final result. ”
"Hulk doesn't understand, Hulk just wants to hit him."
"Me too, I want to stick my knife in his asshole!"
Hulk muttered a grumbling of displeasure, and his voice was echoed by Deadpool, who had just put his head together. However, under the firm will of the little spider, Hulk still controlled his emotions and did not vent his teammates' anger, and naturally, he did not continue his actions.
He put away his fist and stood next to the little spider, staring at the guy who didn't move because of the burning, and asked the little spider.
"Hulk wants to know, what the hell do you want to see?"
"I want to see if he ends up in ashes." The hoarse voice was very calm, but the emotions contained in it were fierce that only he knew. "The Eye of Judgment will burn his soul completely because of his sins, and he is dead. But before he died, I wondered what it was like for him to look at everything he had committed. Will it turn to charcoal, or will it turn to ashes? I want to figure it out. It's like I want to know why he betrayed us. ”
The answer that Spider wants to know is whether Steve will plead guilty to everything he has done. If he pleaded guilty, he would be able to confess a few points of his guilt. Although it stands to reason that in the face of such a judgment that penetrates the heart and soul, no subjective judgment of any one person can be used. But the little spider is not sure that Steve will behave like a normal person.
He's changing now for one reason, and the other reason is that he's Steve. Steve. Rogers. The noblest person in this world has ever appeared.
He might be able to pull off a miracle, it's some kind of unrealistic fantasy in the little spider's mind, and he hopes that Steve will come back and be the way he was. But intellectually, he felt that Steve should die, like those sinners who had died in front of him.
At this moment, his heart is extremely complicated. And it is precisely because of this complexity that such a move with unknown motives will be made. In the end, it was up to Steve to find the answer. And this answer was quickly revealed.
The flames began to wane, but they were not completely extinguished. Because at this moment, there is a situation that no one can understand.
Most of the hellfire was gone, but there were still some tiny flames, like tattoos, etched deep into the skin of his body. It made him look like he was burning, but the burning was noticeably different from the previous ones.
Because at this time, Steve had already regained his consciousness. He broke free from the Eye of Judgment and gasped like a drowning man had been brought back to life.
It can be seen that his energy seems to have been exhausted. Even with his body, which could barely see the limits of his physical strength, it was now at the point of exhaustion. He couldn't even stand there straight, and could only get down on one knee to relieve his physical fatigue.
And for all this, the little spider doesn't care. There was only one thing he cared about, and that was why, and why Steve was able to escape from the power of the Eye of Judgment.
As a user of this powerful power, the little spider could clearly feel that the judgment was over. According to common sense, Steve should be dead at this time, or completely gone. But he didn't, he stood alive in front of them. It's as if he escaped judgment.
This is not an escape from judgment. For this, the little spider is very clear. He knew what it was like to escape judgment, and he knew that Steve had gone through the most complete soul trial. The flames on his body were evident that it was the last thing that the judgment had left him. So what does this mean? Punishment? Acquittal?
Even for users, it is difficult for the spider to decipher the meaning. It's like he can't articulate the complex emotions that are surging in his heart. He didn't know what he was going to do with this guy who had survived the dead. It took a lot of effort for him to calm himself down and ask Steve such a question.
"Why did you survive? You shouldn't have survived! ”
"Maybe." With a grin, a difficult smile appeared on Steve's face. "But I think there are some things that aren't time to end. So I applied for an adjournment of trial for my crimes. And thankfully, my soul agreed. I was punished and paid the price. But in return, I was able to continue to live. I can continue to fight for my ideals. ”
The unimaginable answer can be said to have worked a miracle. To this, the little spider reacted only with anger, and this anger could hardly be suppressed.
"Why, why don't you die? Has even your soul fallen? Does not even your soul admit that all that you have committed is sinful? Steve. Rogers, you damn thing, what the hell have you done! ”
Steve could understand the little spider's feelings. In fact, at first, he thought he was going to die. However, he persevered. Because of his lofty ideals, because of some reasons that cannot be told at all.
At this time, he had already survived the most difficult test, so he had no reason at all, and chose to be sanctioned at this time because of the little spider's questioning. As he himself said, he still had important things to do. So he held up his body and held the sword of the king in his hand. Then, with his characteristic confident smile, he replied to the little spider.
"I confess that I am guilty. But I also said that I have more important things to do before I am tried for death. This is my most sincere thought and my strongest belief. Even my soul already agrees with this, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Peter, you should understand. Man, when he fights for his faith, does not die. Even if the body died, his soul would not. And I'm like that now. ”
"I won't die until the ideal of everything is completed. I will not die until I see that perfect world with my own eyes. That's the answer I'm giving you. So, Peter. You can't beat me, never! ”
Although the flames were already burning on his body forever without extinguishing, at this time, he still burst out of his whole body with infinite power. He's Steve. Rogers, a man who fights for his beliefs. As he said, he will not die until faith collapses. Absolutely not!
