The mothership exploded. Wesley’s precise barrage blew the mothership apart. The Chitari army disintegrated instantly, but Wesley did not know any of this. He began to fall, his energy depleted and his armor badly damaged. The last wave of attacks hit his armor.
Wesley was also seriously injured now, but he still said in the comms, “Shut down.”
Natasha Romanov stabbed the scepter into the shield of the space generator and then interrupted the energy supply of the Tesseract. The space channel kept surging around and finally disappeared, and the sky returned to normal.
“Wesley doesn’t seem to have slowed down.” Tony Stark hurriedly flew up and caught him. Wesley grimaced in pain from the collision. Fortunately, the helmet blocked his expression.
“Multiple fractures, internal bleeding, more than twenty external injuries.” Apple reported Wesley’s physical condition.
“As long as he’s not dead, think about how to get the Tesseract.” Wesley and Apple communicated. Tony Stark carried him down and put him directly on the ground, then took off his mask.
“Hey, man, how are you doing?” Tony Stark asked.
“I’m injured. There are fractures, internal bleeding, and external injuries. Now help me take off my armor.”
Crack! Wesley asked Apple to open the connecting part of the armor, but some parts were stuck. Of course, this was not difficult for Tony Stark. He helped Wesley take off the armor in a few moves. It was something that was going to be scrapped anyway.
Wesley gasped as pain swept through his body. Then he took a deep breath and felt a little better.
With a loud bang, Hulk jumped up from below and looked curiously at Wesley, who was covered in blood. He laughed dully and sat down cross-legged.
“Hey, guys, did you forget me?” Hawkeye called over the radio. “What’s the situation now?”
Steve Rogers responded, “We won. Come to Stark Tower. We can cheer.” Then he looked down at Wesley. “You did a good job. And the team is good.”
Wesley grinned. The two of them were now considered comrades. “Tony, I have a new idea for our comprehensive laboratory. Why don’t we build the ground part of it into the headquarters of the Avengers? I have a feeling that the Avengers will definitely leave S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Tony Stark asked curiously, “Why?”
“Because the Avengers are too powerful. If they are connected to S.H.I.E.L.D., it will be difficult to sleep and eat. Hehe… cough…” Wesley laughed sarcastically, but it affected his wound. Now he still needs to get the Tesseract. “By the way, show me what the Tesseract is.”
Tony Stark didn’t care. He went directly to the space generator, took out the Tesseract, and handed it to Wesley. Wesley reached out and took it, and Apple’s voice came immediately. “The purest energy, the most powerful energy we know of at the moment, is absorbing energy. Your body can recover immediately.”
“What do you mean? There’s a healing function?”
“No, but with the support of this energy, I can directly adjust your physical functions to achieve the effect of rapid healing.” Wesley listened and felt it. His body was warm, and the fractures and injuries were no longer painful. He felt very comfortable.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling, but he did not realize that his body had begun to float. The people around him widened their eyes and mouths when they saw his situation and stared blankly at him.
Wesley’s body was floating, completely covered by a dark blue light, and he didn’t know it at all. The Tesseract in his hand began to crack, and the crack grew bigger and bigger.
With a crack, the entire Tesseract shattered. A blue gem floated up and floated directly to Wesley’s chest as his external injuries began to heal.
No one here except Saul understood what had happened, and Saul began to marvel. “I didn’t expect the space gem to recognize Wesley.”
“What do you mean? Shouldn’t this be the Tesseract? How did it become a gem?” Tony Stark asked in confusion.
“There are six Infinity Stones in the universe, and the power they represent is completely different. This is a space gem. This is the original appearance of the space gem. The Tesseract is not just a layer of protection for it. Only when it meets someone who the gem recognizes will they return to their original appearance.” Saul explained.
“So what you’re saying is that Wesley has reached the recognition of the gem, but does this gem still have the ability to heal?”
“No. I’m not sure why Wesley’s body began to recover, but it’s true that he got the recognition of the gem.” Saul didn’t quite understand that the gem should not have healing abilities.
Tony Stark understood a little. He had watched Wesley absorb the energy of the new elemental reactor. He guessed that the situation was similar to that time. He was really a freak.
Wesley was indeed recovering. Apple controlled his body to absorb energy and then adjusted his body’s recovery ability to achieve a rapid healing effect. At the same time, Wesley’s body was also being upgraded. This upgrade was different from the last. The energy of the new elemental reactor was, after all, much weaker and not pure. It was very limited for Wesley’s physical upgrade.
But this time was different. As one of the top energy sources in the universe, the space gem contained the purest energy, and there was a large amount of it. Apple could use this energy to strengthen Wesley’s body.
“Phew…” It’s complicated to say, but Wesley’s enhancement is soon completed. He exhaled and stood up, and the space gem disappeared directly into his chest.
“Eh? Where are the gems?” Everyone asked in surprise.
Wesley, on the other hand, looked confused and asked, “What gem? Eh? My body has recovered?” Wesley’s acting level was quite high, mainly because the apple controlled his facial expression. “What happened?”
“You absorbed Tesseract,” Tony Stark said.
“Tony, don’t joke around. How is that possible? That’s a cosmic-level energy body.” Wesley looked at him.
Saul patted Wesley on the shoulder and said, “What he said is true. You have been recognized by the space gem, so you can have it. No one else can stop it, and the Realm will recognize that you have the space gem.”
