Inside the barrier.
The energy explosion of the Tesseract is still ongoing.
The entire Stark Industries Tower has already turned to dust.
Tony Stark's face is full of shock, and he subconsciously murmurs in a low voice, "Oh, it's over, Pepper planned to use this building as a sample for the new energy business next week..."
The atmosphere at the scene is somewhat strange.
Their companion Uehara Naraku was blown to pieces inside!
After Tony Stark says these words, he senses the atmosphere around him isn't quite right, yet he doesn't offer an explanation, because he too feels saddened by Uehara Naraku's sacrifice.
That outwardly cold but inwardly warm agent...
Suddenly sacrificed right after the victory of the war.
No.
One should say.
It was because of Uehara Naraku's sacrifice that they achieved the ultimate victory in this war, as no one knew what aliens might emerge from the space passage...
Uehara Naraku sacrificed his life to close the Tesseract and thoroughly resolve the crisis. This man, who was not very articulate, showed some emotion before dying, his only farewell was a simple goodbye.
Goodbye.
The Avengers team managed to come together and fight side by side, and Uehara Naraku, this not-so-noticeable agent who has helped them, was the companion they most respected.
Everyone present had deep friendships with Uehara Naraku.
Tony Stark's Iron Man mask slowly opens, his eyes slightly reddened as he lowers his head: "Natasha, Clint, does Uehara Naraku have any family? Perhaps we need..."
"No."
Natasha Romanoff shakes her head, her voice carrying some regret and sorrow: "Special Agent Uehara... has always been alone..."
Even when sacrificing here...
No one would care about his death...
As one of S.H.I.E.L.D's three ace agents, Natasha had a good relationship with Uehara Naraku, she greatly respected this serious man in combat.
Moreover...
Uehara Naraku indeed looked after her.
Whenever they had to cooperate on missions, Uehara Naraku would always like to take on some dangerous combat tasks by himself; when she was in danger, Uehara Naraku would taunt her a few times and then solve her crisis.
If it wasn't for Uehara Naraku's occasionally offensive mouth, Natasha actually believes their relationship could have been better.
Of course.
This Uehara Naraku is also very good.
Despite not being great at comforting others, he often unconsciously takes care of them. Such a companion, warm inside despite appearing cold, easily earns hidden affection.
"Now he's not alone."
Steve Rogers walks over to Natasha, pats her shoulder, and says in a deep voice, "We are still here..."
"Mm."
Clint Barton furrows his brows and nods heavily.
"???""
Bruce Banner bashfully scratches his neck, then shakes his head, feeling uncomfortable all over.
How should he put it?
A troublemaker like Uehara Naraku could hardly be dead!
Uehara Naraku, who had been deceiving them all along, couldn't possibly die here so easily, and the Black Zetsu controlling him has yet to disappear!
Even the Black Zetsu inside Bruce Banner warns him not to speak casually!
This is truly absurd...
A group of people are mourning the departure of Uehara Naraku, the agent, unaware that this agent is secretly causing trouble...
On the other side.
On the Helicarrier.
Nick Fury, who is monitoring all this, feels pain for the loss of his subordinate, his hand trembling...
A significant loss...
Since Nick Fury's most trusted Coulson and Hill betrayed and fled, now Nick Fury has the utmost trust in his three ace agents.
Among them, Uehara Naraku's lazy demeanor allows Nick Fury to entrust him with many secretive tasks. Regardless of the timing, a subordinate like Uehara Naraku is indeed quite likable.
Of course.
Nick Fury's greater concern is another matter.
The senior members of the Akatsuki organization suddenly set up a sealing barrier, preventing the Tesseract's explosion crisis in New York, indeed saving many innocent civilians.
Similarly.
This also means Akatsuki has trapped the Tesseract.
There's no guarantee that the alien forces of Akatsuki, who understand the Tesseract's energy, wouldn't be tempted to seize the Tesseract... Once Akatsuki takes the Tesseract...
Does this war have any special significance?
The final outcome would be a version where Akatsuki and the Chitauri treat Earth as their battlefield, and the victor takes the Earth's Tesseract as spoils of war...
The mysterious masked man stands beside Nick Fury, looks at the heavy-faced Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and can't help but gently shake his head...
At the next moment.
A sudden change occurs!
Just as everyone is mourning, the explosive energy of the Tesseract suddenly calms down, and a figure radiating brilliant blue light bursts forth!
This figure brutally tears through the Six Red Sun Array Barrier, directly breaking through the sky, even dispersing the clouds above, and sunlight directly pours down!
Everyone involuntarily looks up to the sky.
Above the sky.
Under the illumination of sunlight.
The brilliant blue light on this figure slowly fades away, and Uehara Naraku, his face full of shock, appears in their view.
