"Gwen..."
Peter trembled as he spat out the name that had once haunted him in dreams. He couldn't believe his eyes, Gwen was actually resurrected. He reached out his hand tremblingly and touched Gwen's cheek.
However, Gwen's cold question made him feel like ice water had been poured on him, and his hands froze.
He once killed his beloved with his own hands for such a great cause as building a new world, but he always woke up crying many times after dreaming about it in the middle of the night.
He once thought he was doing the right thing!
He once thought that he was very enlightened!
He once thought he could give everything for the new world!
But as time went by, he missed Gwen who was killed by his own hands more and more.
Especially whenever the implementation of the new world encounters setbacks, whenever everyone does not understand what he is doing, he will doubt in his heart whether his decision that day was correct.
He regretted it!
If he had another chance to choose again, he might not be able to make the same choice again.
You will cherish it more when you find it again, just like Steve couldn't kill Bucky a second time that day.
But there is no turning back. What he has done cannot be changed. He can only continue to move forward forcefully, and he will not look back even if he breaks through the south wall!
It was supposed to be like this...but now Gwen is resurrected.
"I..." Peter swallowed and looked panicked, "Yes... no... I mean, everything is for the new world."
"I will build a perfect new world for you, free of lies and deception."
"When the new world is on track, I will find a way to resurrect you."
Gwen stood there with cold eyes, staring at Peter so coldly that she felt panicked.
"What I said is true!" Peter hurriedly explained, "I asked scientists to develop a telepathic communication device. Everyone can detect each other's true thoughts and will not be deceived by lies."
"In today's new world, there are no lies or deceptions between people, and everyone can face the truth about themselves and others sincerely."
“All crimes will be brought to justice and the crime rate is as low as ever!”
"Society operates cleanly and efficiently. There are no longer inefficient interviews and campaigns..."
When Peter talked about the changes in the new world, he felt proud. He took a step forward and tried to pull Gwen's hand, but Gwen took a step back and got out of the way. This action was like a blow to the head, knocking all his excitement away.
Both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became increasingly cold.
After a moment, Peter said in a hushed voice, like a mosquito or a fly, "Yes, I killed you!"
Gwen took a deep breath and tilted her face up to prevent tears from overflowing.
"Just for the so-called new world?"
Peter lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, "...Yes, because you are my weakness."
"SHIELD will use you!"
"HYDRA will use you!"
"Those politicians will take advantage of you too!"
"All my enemies will use you!"
"Just like they used me back then!"
Peter took a deep breath, raised his head, looked into Gwen's eyes, and said sincerely:
"You will be deceived by them, or morally kidnapped, or other means, and you will be fooled around, but you will still think that you are doing the right thing."
"Until you make a big mistake like me and regret it too late!"
"I don't want to see this happen, I want to correct this wrong world!"
"I don't want you to suffer this kind of deception and pain, and I don't want more people to continue to live in this dirty world."
"so……"
"So you killed them all?" Gwen sneered and interrupted Peter's large statement, looking at Peter with contempt with her pure black eyes.
"What a great idea!"
"Do I still want to thank you?"
"Those unlucky ones who died in your hands, do they all want to thank you for everything you did for them?"
Gwen's sarcasm made Peter's face turn red, and he explained with a pale face: "It can't be calculated like that!"
"I am observing my destiny. It is not about treating guests to a meal. There must be sacrifices!"
"It's all about the future!"
"In order to allow children to grow up in a new and beautiful world, no matter how much sacrifice is made, it is worth it!"
"Ha!" Gwen sneered, "Who decides who will be sacrificed?"
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor—you?"
"Peter, you have changed!"
"You used to be kind-hearted, helpful, respecting the elderly and caring for the young, upright, aboveboard, and understanding of justice..."
"Now you are dictatorial, autocratic, greedy, tyrannical, murderous, arrogant..."
Gwen's eyes were full of pain and disappointment. She looked at Peter with a sense of loss, feeling that the distance between the two people suddenly became very far.
"The Peter I loved is dead, and all that's alive now is just a walking corpse that looks just like him."
Gwen was disheartened and turned to leave, but how could Peter let her leave?
Peter grabbed Gwen, "Gwen, I'm still the same Peter, I've never changed!"
"You have too many misunderstandings about me!"
"Give me a chance and let me prove it to you!"
"I will take you to various places in the new world and let you see what the world is like now and how much better it is than the previous world. You will naturally understand me!"
"Then you will find out that it was not me who did anything wrong, but the person who resurrected you is using you to hurt me!"
"I don't know exactly how you were resurrected, but I am very sure that the person who resurrected you must be my enemy!"
"I have a plan for your resurrection. Now that the new world is not completely on track, it's not the time for me to resurrect you!"
"The enemy wants to disrupt the development of the new world, and we can't let them get their wish!"
"Please, Gwen, give me a chance!"
Peter spoke plausibly at first, but gradually his voice became lower and his face showed a rare look of prayer.
"You are so arrogant, Peter." Gwen did not look back, looked down at the ground, and whispered: "I am not the only person who has been resurrected! Why do you think that all this is for you? ?”
Peter was startled, and subconsciously wanted to call a meeting with his subordinates to discuss the upcoming wave of undead resurgence, but as soon as his hand was loosened, Gwen began to move forward. Peter hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her back. Looking at Gwen in front of him who insisted on leaving, he hesitated again.
On one side is the new world empire facing an unknown crisis, on the other side is the love of his life who is haunted by dreams. How should he choose?
Choose empire or lover?
Gwen shook her hand several times, but failed to shake Peter off. She was annoyed and said angrily: "Why are you always catching me if you don't worry about your great empire?"
Peter stared at her blankly, feeling this familiar scene and having mixed feelings in his heart.
In the past, when the two were in love, Gwen would get angry like this when she was annoyed. At first, Peter took it stupidly seriously, but after a few times, Peter's emotional intelligence improved and he knew that in the face of this situation, what Gwen needed was his past. Comfort her and coax her, not really angry.
If it were before, he would just put aside all his work, coax Gwen, take her shopping, watch a movie, and say sweet words, and everything would be settled naturally.
But what should he do now?
Leave the affairs of the empire behind to coax Gwen?
Take her shopping or watching movies?
What about the empire?
Although there is no news from below yet, the resurrection of the dead is probably not a trivial matter, especially those powerful enemies who died because of the establishment of the new world. Once they are resurrected, they will definitely come to take revenge.
Although he is not afraid of attacks from others now, once a battle occurs, the entire empire is likely to completely collapse and be destroyed in the chaos of war. Once this happens, everything he has done before will be in vain.
But leaving Gwen behind to take care of the Empire?
He had a very clear feeling in his heart that if he did this, he would lose Gwen completely. Faced with such a major event as the resurrection of the dead, it is definitely not a problem that can be solved in three to five days. Even ten days and a half month may not be enough. Even if he eliminates all his enemies in the future and frees up time again, he will never be able to restore Gwen's feelings.
He knew very well that Gwen was letting him make a choice now. Choose her or the empire?
Last time, Peter chose the Empire without hesitation and painfully killed Gwen with his own hands.
So what about this time?
If he dares to put the importance of the empire before Gwen again, Gwen will never forgive him again!
Women, many times, don't care about justice, they only care about men's attitudes.
In the process of this choice, they actually don't care about how bad the consequences will be and how many people will die. In other words, the higher the price, the more it represents how much men love them!
Just watch those bloody fantasy dramas, and you will know how many foolish kings who do not love the country and love the beauty are highly sought after, and how many generals who shed thousands of miles of blood just for the sake of beauty are highly praised by housewives?
If the male protagonist cannot risk everything for the heroine, even if he has to live and die several times, then he is not qualified!
Gwen is a relatively sane woman, but no matter how sane a woman is, she is still a woman. When she faces a relationship crisis, the choices she makes are no different from ordinary women.
In particular, the man she fell in love with personally killed her last time, which naturally made her feel resentful about this relationship and cast a shadow over the future development of their relationship.
Therefore, she must find out whether the man she once loved still loves her in his heart, whether he truly loves her, and how much he loves her?
So, it was an inevitable judgment that she put herself and Peter's most important New World Empire on the same scale and let Peter make the choice.
If Peter chooses her, she is of course willing to follow her emotions and maintain the relationship.
But if Peter chooses the empire again, then Gwen is not an indecisive person. It’s not like she can’t kill love with a sword!
Peter also knew this very well, so he was in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he paid countless prices for this. He did not hesitate to cut off love, killed his lover Gwen with his own hands, killed his idol Captain America with his own hands, completely cut off all contact with another idol Iron Man, broke the entire American continent into pieces, and The population of the Americas decreased by 90% before a new world was finally built.
On the other hand, it is the love of his life who was once killed by his own hands, but was resurrected by the enemy at the wrong time to shake his will. It is one of the fundamental sources of motivation to work hard and build a new world at any cost.
This multiple choice question is really difficult!
Without the new world, he would not be able to create a beautiful world for Gwen that would not be used or deceived again. Sooner or later, Gwen would be repeatedly used and played by the enemy like this time, and eventually make a big mistake. Suffering and suffering for life.
But if Gwen leaves him in the end, even if he builds a brave new world, what's the point?
Even if his beloved is gone, does he still have the motivation to continue building a beautiful new world?
In the end, will this new world still develop in a beautiful direction?
Wouldn't it be possible to deviate from the original track without realizing it and eventually lead to destruction?
Seeing that Peter did not make a decision on the spot, but hesitated, Gwen snorted in displeasure, shook her hands hard, and was about to leave.
Of course Peter disagreed, but Gwen raised and lowered her hands and cut off the arm held by Peter. With Peter's shocked eyes, she turned and left.
Although the arm was chopped off, no blood flowed out from where Gwen's arm was broken. Instead, the broken arm in Peter's hand decayed into a plume of black smoke and dissipated in the air in an instant, while Gwen's broken arm grew again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Peter also had this ability to resurrect broken limbs. But Peter could see very clearly that Gwen's rebirth from severed limbs definitely did not rely on the ability to rotate the magnetic field, but more like her body was supported by some kind of strange energy. As long as this energy did not disappear, she would be immortal. The presence.
Gwen's state is a bit like the prisoner called Superstar brought back by Zhan Liu, but it is very different. The energy of the super giant seems to be inherent in itself, but the energy in Gwen should come from outside the body, and the specific source cannot be determined.
Because Gwen's appearance had such a psychological impact on him, Peter subconsciously ignored many of the wrong things about Gwen. But now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he found that there was something wrong with Gwen's resurrection.
Gwen's body was pale, and she didn't look like a living person in any way. Her eyes were dark, not even the whites of her eyes, which was even more abnormal.
Rather than being resurrected, it is better to say that Gwen is now just a special corpse that can move, communicate, and have memories.
Peter hesitated for a moment, and finally broke his habit of not reading the minds of his relatives and friends, and used his mind-reading ability on Gwen for the first time.
He had to figure out what was going on with Gwen's current state, and who was the enemy behind him!
