The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 14 Guardian Contract

Faced with Adam's inquiry, Steve uncharacteristically did not answer immediately, but Bucky agreed without hesitation.

"Hehe, do I have a choice? Uncle Adam, I owe you my life." Bucky spread his hands and replied.

"Bucky!" Steve was a little surprised by Bucky's decisiveness. Shouldn't such a big deal be considered?
You must know that the contract can already be regarded as a prostitution contract. Even if Adam raised himself, but he just received so much information that shakes his three views, he has to think carefully.

"Steve, what are you still thinking about?" Bucky was very puzzled by Steve's hesitation, because in his impression, Steve respected Adam very much.

And Steve, who has justice in his heart, shouldn't hesitate to make such a request, which is equivalent to a messenger of justice.

"I'm afraid..."

"Afraid that I'm too weak to help me?" Adam interrupted Steve and asked back.

Of course Adam understood the reason for Steve's hesitation. There is no better son than a father.

To put it bluntly, Steve pouted his ass, and Adam knew he was just venting or getting a tuba.

"Yes, Dad, I... although I have become stronger, but facing that kind of existence..." Steve said hesitantly.

Steve is kind, brave, and fearless of power. Otherwise, he would never have acted bravely when he knew he couldn't beat it.

But he was indeed frightened by the previous scene. He is not yet the spiritual leader of the future superhero who dares to face Thanos's thousands of horses without shrinking.

"Hey, Steve, don't make me look down on you. Where's your original courage?" Bucky asked with some displeasure. He didn't know what to ask. Things that have happened to me.

cowardly!

"Bucky..." Steve lowered his head in shame.

"Hey, Steve."

Knowing that Steve was very uncomfortable now, Peggy held Steve's hand, patted him gently, and comforted him: "What's wrong? Shouldn't my big boy be the bravest?"

Peggy hopes that Steve can agree to Adam's request. This is not only what Steve wants to do, but also Steve, who has greatly increased his strength, can help herself better, because she heard a gossip, That is, in the face of a global threat beyond common sense like the Red Skull, the country is preparing to set up a special department to deal with it, and she is likely to be in charge.

"Peggy, I..."

"I don't think Adam would watch his son die, would he?" Peggy looked at Adam and asked.

"Of course, I will give them power, and they will also get the help of heroic spirits. Although it is difficult to fight against the Demonic Pillar, it is not to die." Adam spread his hands and replied.

"Okay, Dad, I want to help you too, I'm afraid... I will work hard to train myself, and I won't delay you..."

Steve made up his mind and agreed to Adam, but before he could finish his words, Adam walked over and hugged him.

"Son, I don't know if you have any grievances, but you are my son, absolutely no one can question it, I understand it, believe me, I will not put you in danger." Adam patted Steve said softly.

"Dad..." Steve was so ashamed at this moment that he had doubted Adam before, even if it was just for a moment, but the words he just said refreshed all Steve's memories from childhood to adulthood.

It was Adam who brought him home, gave him a comfortable room, delicious food, and taught him all kinds of knowledge.

It is also Adam who takes good care of himself and protects himself every time he is injured.

It was Adam, who saved his life at the most critical moment, and even sent someone to protect him.

"Okay, boy, now I'll ask you again, are you willing to take on this burden?" Adam asked, letting go of Steve.

"I do, Dad." Steve nodded without hesitation this time.

"Okay, then..."

"Boom~!"

Adam took two steps back, an unparalleled power erupted, and everyone was blown back two steps by the strong wind. When they looked up, they saw a cosmic starry sky behind Adam, and in the starry sky stood a golden the throne.

And Adam slowly floated in the air, his pupils filled with colorful light, floating in front of the throne, holding his hands behind his back, full of majesty and dominance.

Finn and Baimao stepped aside, knelt on one knee, and lowered their heads towards Adam.

"I am the Lord of the Throne of Heroes and the heir to the root of the world. I ask you on behalf of the root, Steve Cronos and Bucky Barnes, whether you are willing to inherit the name of the guardian and protect all good. Kill all evil?"

"I am willing."

"I am willing."

Steve and Bucky looked at each other, then answered firmly.

"The contract is established, and you are given the authority to act on behalf of the root, so as to protect the current principles of the world."

As Hongwei's voice fell, Steve and Bucky suddenly felt that there was a lot more in their bodies, and a mysterious symbol was slowly outlined behind the two, and then slowly merged into their bodies.

At this point, the contract is completed.

Adam landed slowly, but when he landed, his legs softened and he almost fell.

Fortunately, Finn and Baimao who were beside him supported him in time.

"Dad!"

"Adam!"

The five of Steve hurried over, concerned about Adam's situation.

"Huh~ It's okay, it's just the first contract guardian, or two at a time, I'm just a little tired, just sleep." Adam said a little weakly.

In the case of great damage to the root, the consumption of the contract guardian is still a bit large, mainly to shield the root perception of this world.

Most of the roots of the world are relatively xenophobic. Once outsiders are found, they will basically be expelled.

"That's good, Dad, I'll help you up to rest." Steve said with concern.

"No, your dad isn't so weak yet!" Adam slapped Steve on the forehead angrily.

"It hurts, Dad..."

"Hahaha……"

"That...Adam, look at me, can I also..."

At this time, Howard walked over rubbing his hands with a flattering smile on his face.

He is a genius scientist, and all scientists have one thing in common, that is, they are full of curiosity about unknown things.

He just saw another world, which also opened another brand new door for him. As a scientist, he couldn't help but want to study those magical existences.

But with Howard, Adam shook his head.

It's not that Howard doesn't have the qualifications to be a guardian, on the contrary, he has!
Howard, who was able to co-create SHIELD with Peggy and spare no effort to support Peggy in protecting the earth, is in line with the guardian's requirements.

But unfortunately, at present, Adam can only support the consumption of seven guardians, so he must give priority to candidates with fighting ability.

However, the foreshadowing that should be planted can still be planted, after all, he is an excellent candidate.

"What? Can't I?" Howard asked.

"It's like this..." Adam didn't hide anything, and told him the reason for refusing to make a contract with him. These words were not only addressed to Howard, but also to Peggy and Abraham.

"Okay, but Adam, you have to reserve a spot for me." Howard was also calm, and he wouldn't say much when he was rejected, which was also his advantage.

Steve and Peggy are his friends, and Adam is Steve's adoptive father and Peggy's future father-in-law. Although looking at Adam's young appearance, it is difficult to regard him as an elder, but Howard is still good to those close to him. I have nothing to say.

As for Peggy and Abraham.

Peggy is very smart. She believes that Adam will give her a place, but if she doesn't mention it now, it means that the time has not come. When the time comes, she will take the initiative to find herself. This is very in line with Adam's style.

Abraham was not interested at all. His lifelong wish had already been fulfilled in Steve, and he didn't have any big pursuits. He just hoped that he could enjoy his old age comfortably.

Everyone here knew it, but out of politeness, Adam asked Abraham about his future arrangements.

"I think I can just stay with Adam. I think it's good. At least there won't be any trouble, and I don't have to pay rent and food expenses." Abraham spread his hands and replied.

"Damn, do you just want to rub my house?" Adam scolded with a smile.

"You will agree, right?" Abraham asked rhetorically.

"Of course, but you still have to pay for the housing and food expenses." Adam laughed.

"I have no money." Abraham raised his hands.

"Then pay with the serum, a serum." Adam said, holding out a finger.

"Serum? That thing is for you... Wait, you want it for Bucky?" Abraham understood Adam's thoughts.

"Me?" Bucky pointed to himself.

"Of course, your current physical fitness is too poor, and Steve just passed the pass, so I have to give it to you." Adam said.

"But, Adam, you know..."

"Will that be a problem?" Adam asked with a smile.

"...Of course not." Abraham looked at Adam's smile and replied directly. Bucky, who could be selected by Adam as the guardian, would naturally not become the second Red Skull.

Moreover, even if something goes wrong, wouldn’t Adam still be there?How could he watch something happen to Bucky.

"Okay, now tell me what power you have gained." Adam and Abraham reached an agreement, looking at Steve and Bucky and asked.

"You don't know?" The five looked at Adam strangely.

"Of course I don't know. The power given by the root is beyond my control. It will automatically give the most suitable ability based on their own personality, traits and other factors." Adam spread his hands and said.

The five people understood, and Steve stood up first.

"My ability... the scale is a bit large... [Guardian Sacrificial Light]."

With a soft cry, centering on Steve, a golden enchantment began to spread and stopped when it reached the edge of the underground space.

"Isn't it? Inherent enchantment?" Finn and Baimao on the side were startled and exclaimed.

"Inherent barrier? What is that?"

"It is the magic that embodies one's own mental landscape. Once this thing is activated, it will change the surrounding space into a completely different scenery. The embodiment of the mental landscape is the inherent barrier that replaces oneself and the state without changing the state. The size of the world, itself and the world will be replaced, and the world will be completely enclosed in a small container.

Moreover, each inherent enchantment will have different rules, and everyone in it must abide by this rule, unless there is absolute strength to break the world. ' Finn explained.

"What... mean?" Not even Howard, who had the highest IQ, could understand.

"It is to open up a space, cover the current space, and have powerful capabilities in the space." Adam explained simply and clearly.

"Oh, so it's...fuck! Is it so powerful?" Howard was frightened.

"This is the closest 'magic' to 'magic', how can it not be awesome?" Finn shrugged, lamenting Steve's luck.

"Is the range only so big? What is the ability?" Adam asked.

"My current magic power can only support so much. In terms of ability..." Halfway through the speech, Steve smiled wryly. "In my world, all enemies marked in my mind can only attack me first."

"Eh..." Everyone paused, showing helplessness.

Feelings like using a shield allow you to attract firepower?This is very... Steve.

"Brother, my safety depends on you from now on." Bucky patted Steve on the shoulder and said.

"Go to hell, Bucky, where's your harvest?" Steve scolded with a smile.

"Mine? It's this, [I use the iron fist of Broken Galaxy]"

As soon as the words fell, a pair of bright silver metal gauntlets and gloves immediately covered Bucky's arms. There were also golden lines outlined on the gauntlets and gloves, and the brilliance was flowing.

"When I got it, it told me that it could increase my strength. As long as my magic power is enough, I can smash a planet with one punch!" Bucky said proudly.

"Hiss~" Steve, Peggy, Howard, and Abraham took a sharp breath.

"It's so scary!"
