Chapter 231: Purpose
"Did you get a good look at that person?" Mr. Immortal asked.
"It was a black woman," Erin replied, recalling the image.
Thankfully, she noticed, and Yang Le breathed a sigh of relief. If she hadn't, Yang Le would have been in tears.
"Forget about that person for now," Nightjar interrupted the conversation. "Those bacteria somehow didn't stick to that mummy."
"I think it has something to do with the purple light on it," Namorita pointed at Yang Le.
Everyone noticed that indeed, a faint purplish glow had appeared on Yang Le's body, perfectly enveloping him as if coated in a layer of pale purple.
These pale purple coatings were, of course, Tian Energy. Tian Energy could create a vacuum space, so naturally, the bacteria couldn't penetrate through it. Since the mummy didn't need to breathe, Yang Le used Tian Energy to create a protective suit to keep the bacteria out.
The Sekhmet race of the mummy could also use Tian Energy, but they needed systematic training, unlike the Annonites who could use it from birth. Thus, Yang Le was utilizing the power of the Latitude Demon Avatar.
However, just because Yang Le didn't need to breathe didn't mean the person inside him didn't. After defending against the bacteria, Yang Le dispersed the Tian Energy coating. Seeing the purple energy dissipate, the Mycenaean, though puzzled, immediately used his ability to control the bacteria crawling towards Yang Le.
Yang Le wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he loosened the bandages around his abdomen, allowing everyone to see the person inside him.
Just as Erin described, dark-skinned with curly hair, a typical black woman—but this seemingly ordinary black woman caused Mr. Immortal to gasp in shock.
Because he recognized her. Not only him, but her other identity was widely known:
"Captain America!" Mr. Immortal exclaimed, having lived for centuries and knowing secrets unknown to the average person, such as Captain America's true identity.
"What?" The others of the New Avengers were shocked, and the Mycenaean immediately halted the bacteria's expansion. Captain America? That legend shouldn't be here, especially in this form. Not only them, but due to the live stream, a huge wave of discussion erupted online.
This was one of Yang Le's purposes. Peter and the others had obtained all the data on the Super Soldier Serum, so this Nige had no use anymore. They couldn't keep her locked up forever, so Yang Le proposed this act.
By appearing with Captain America in front of everyone, portraying himself as a kidnapper, he would take the blame for kidnapping Captain America. Then, through combat, he would destroy all traces of research related to the serum in the lab, completely clearing himself of involvement.
As for Captain America's memories, they would be erased. With Poobah's chemical abilities, creating amnesia agents was no problem.
All Yang Le needed to do now was beat up these people and wait for Gwen and the others to come out, chase him away, and it would be done.
This would not only solve the issue of Captain America and the Super Serum, teach Robbi and the others a lesson, but also improve Peter's reputation. Truly a triple win.
While thinking this, Yang Le spat out Captain America from his body. Although she could serve as a hostage, she was more of a burden to Yang Le. Carrying her would only hinder his movements.
As unconscious Captain America fell to the ground with a thud, the pale purple Tian Energy covered Yang Le again.
"Tsk!" The Mycenaean clicked his tongue. "Good luck, guys."
There was no helping it. As long as Yang Le maintained the Tian Energy isolation suit, there was nothing the Mycenaean could do.
"Leave it to me!" Robbie punched his chest. The appearance of Captain America stunned him briefly, but after the initial shock, immense joy followed. Defeating the villain and rescuing Captain America could make him the sixth titan.
"Stop acting alone, Robbie," Mr. Immortal frowned. "We're a team, we need teamwork."
"Ugh, annoying!" Robbie groaned inwardly. Always focusing on teamwork meant no one would notice his fast ball. He wanted personal heroism!
But there was no help for it. Mr. Immortal was the leader, so even if Robbie didn't like it, he had to agree. But just as he was about to respond, Yang Le's attack arrived.
A bandage glowing with a faint purple light shot towards Mr. Immortal at incredible speed. No one had time to react. The bandage pierced straight into Mr. Immortal's abdomen like a blade.
Blood hadn't even begun to flow when the bandage inside Mr. Immortal's body began tearing everything apart, turning his insides into mush.
"Thud!"
Mr. Immortal collapsed on the ground, blood gushing from the wound in his abdomen, forming a pool instantly. Clearly, he was dead beyond dead. However, Yang Le knew he would revive soon. Mr. Immortal's reputation wasn't for nothing.
The Apostle of Death once said that Mr. Immortal could live until the end of the universe. However, his ability had its drawbacks. Mr. Immortal could only recover all his injuries after dying and reviving. If he was just injured and not killed, his recovery speed was no different from an ordinary person.
In short, it was like a game character refreshing after death—negative statuses disappeared upon revival. If he didn't die, he had to endure the pain and heal himself.
That's why Yang Le directly killed Mr. Immortal, sparing him the pain.

'I'm such a good person,' Yang Le wiped away tears of emotion.
Faced with death, Robbie was stunned for a second, then reacted. Even after seeing Mr. Immortal die so many times, he still wasn't used to it. He always feared that maybe this time he wouldn't wake up.
But just that second was enough for Yang Le to manipulate the bandage and strike at him. In the blink of an eye, the bandage reached him, sending him flying.
Robbie rolled and crashed into a nearby instrument, destroying quite a few. Fortunately, he had superpowers; otherwise, this one blow would have sent him the same way as Mr. Immortal.
Once the two were knocked down, the remaining four members of the New Avengers finally reacted. They were shocked, as Yang Le's attack speed was now several levels faster than before. If Yang Le had used this speed from the start, they would have been annihilated.
This was, of course, because Yang Le's plan had entered the second phase—teaching everyone a lesson. Now, he just needed to give them a good beating.
"Get out of the way!" Mr. Immortal suddenly got up after being "dead."
"Run! This is not an enemy we can handle!"
