Chapter 557: The Death of the Winter Soldier

Chapter 557: Chapter 557: The Death of the Winter Soldier

In the past, Gerald would never have interfered with anyone else’s thoughts. He would simply let things run their course and observe how the other person changed. To him, it was like a kind of academic study, and it fit perfectly with his background in psychology.

But ever since he had "figured things out," he had started trying to abandon his identity as a psychologist. He was trying to stop looking at things objectively and instead view them from a more personal angle.

As Luna’s friend and teacher, he obviously didn’t want his student to fall into a dark pit. That was what he had in mind. So helping her work through her feelings had to be put on the agenda.

He felt that Luna needed to understand that giving a young witch a love potion was seriously messed up!

The problem was, how exactly was he supposed to counsel Luna?

The little witch who had inherited Ravenclaw’s memories wasn’t as easy to fool as other people. This would take careful planning and a gradual approach.

Just as Gerald was thinking it over, someone knocked on the door outside at exactly the right moment.

Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Hahahahaha, guys! I just heard something hilarious. Absolutely hilarious! That heartless bald guy got shut down! The Avengers are on the verge of breaking up!

Doujin Artist: ?

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: That’s interesting. They were only formed recently, and they’re already about to break up?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: This is obviously Deadpool’s fault, isn’t it? Everything started because of your clash with Thor!

Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: My dear little magic girl, Uncle Deadpool doesn’t think you can blame me for this. After all, I wasn’t the one who started it. That noodle-headed guy provoked me first. His shamelessness was simply too much for me to take.

Amegakure Village’s Angel: I don’t think the Avengers will break up that easily. Their conflict hasn’t affected what truly holds them together.

Soul Society’s Villain: Not right now, perhaps, but it’s hard to say what will happen later. If Hydra starts interfering behind the scenes, their collapse may be inevitable.

Lin Fengjiao: That’s true. If Hydra releases the Winter Soldier, Bucky, at a time like this...

Doujin Artist: Tsk, tsk. If that happens, the Avengers are definitely finished. Tony could never forgive the man who killed his father. At the same time, Captain America would never stand by and watch his best friend die.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Exactly. And compared with the original story... the conflict has already broken out. If Bucky’s appearance makes things even worse, there’s a very good chance someone will actually end up dead. ℯ

Curly-haired Guy: Deadpool, are you seriously not planning to stop this?

Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Stop it? Didn’t I already tell you that Bucky was killed by me? So there’s no need to worry about any of this, guys.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pfft. Killed?

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: No, you didn’t. I can say for sure that you never told us.

Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Fine, fine. Maybe I ate too much wasabi that day and forgot to report this glorious achievement. But Bucky is dead, so you don’t have to worry about him coming back to cause trouble.

Wig Guy: Why did you kill him? You should know that Hydra brainwashed him, right?

Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Yeah, I know. But he actually ambushed me. What was I supposed to do, just take that? Damn it, he shot and smashed the smart speaker I bought yesterday. That thing cost me five hundred dollars!

This is an Actor: Oh. That was the only reason?

Gerald clearly didn’t believe Deadpool’s explanation.

After spending so much time with the man in the mask, he had gotten to know him fairly well. Deadpool might not be a good person, but he certainly wasn’t a violent monster. Killing an antihero who wasn’t truly evil just over five hundred dollars didn’t fit Deadpool’s values.

Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Fine, fine. He wanted to die. Damn it, I don’t understand why all these idiots want to kill themselves after they wake up. I would never do something like that. Of course, I couldn’t even if I wanted to.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Suicide, huh? Sigh.

Lin Fengjiao: It wasn’t his fault, but he still couldn’t face the things he had done? I can understand that. If I were in his place, I might not be able to go on either.

Doujin Artist: If he killed himself, why did you say that he died by your hand, Deadpool? I get it now. You wanted to preserve his dignity, didn’t you? Tsk, I never expected you to be so sensitive.

Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: What the hell are you talking about? I just think it should count as my achievement! The Winter Soldier, Bucky, Captain America’s closest comrade, died by Uncle Deadpool’s hand. Isn’t that something to be proud of?

Doujin Artist: Fine. Whatever you say.

Eriri very unusually didn’t argue with Deadpool. Everyone in the group clearly understood that he had either been claiming the achievement for himself or trying to preserve Bucky’s dignity.

Amegakure Village’s Angel: Has Kotonoha still not finished dealing with things over there?

Konan tried to change the subject. She felt that Bucky’s death wasn’t something they should argue about too fiercely. The soldier deserved to keep some of his dignity, even if he had done terrible things in the past.

In fact, Konan had probably realized that Bucky’s death had also made Deadpool feel somewhat sad. Based on her guess, Deadpool could likely have stopped him from killing himself at the time.

But Bucky had died anyway. Deadpool must have felt guilty and blamed himself, which was probably why he hadn’t told everyone in the group about it.

As for Deadpool’s claim that he had forgotten because he ate too much wasabi, that was obviously nonsense. Wasabi might make someone look like they were wearing a mask of agony, but it certainly wouldn’t cause memory loss.

Machete Girl: Ah, I just finished.

After sending the message, Katsura Kotonoha glanced at the golden giant in front of her, which had been torn into several pieces, and quietly breathed out.

The girl had to admit that this opponent had been incredibly difficult to deal with. It was stronger and stranger than any enemy she had encountered in this world. If she hadn’t already learned her final release, she might really have needed help from the other members of the group to defeat it.

Fortunately, she had been the final winner.

Boom.

Just as Katsura Kotonoha was thinking this, the golden giant suddenly exploded from the center.

Katsura Kotonoha tightened her grip on her blade and stared warily at the scene before her. A trace of shock appeared on her face. After the golden giant burst apart, several strange objects appeared in midair.

A key, a spoon, a scale, a fountain pen, a tape measure, and a black human figure slowly turned to dust before Katsura Kotonoha’s eyes and scattered into the air.

Realizing what they were, Katsura Kotonoha understood that these objects were the true forms of the Demon God.
