Chapter 296: A New World
Dave sat in his chair, studying the three videos—Tony, Bucky, and Steve—each displayed on a separate screen. All three looked worn, their faces edged with exhaustion as Steve pointed to a map, marking several red Xs over various past locations.
"We’ve destroyed over six secret bases," Steve said, his voice low and steady. "Still... we’ve never found him."
Seeing this, Dave shook his head and glanced over at his fifth template mission.
"I guess I should take them there... before their brains completely fry," he muttered, then looked toward Bucky. "Hm, maybe he’ll awaken something new too. He’s way too weak right now anyway," he thought to himself before finally reaching out to them.
"Hey, Tony," he called.
"What is it?" Tony replied, clearly not in a great mood.
"Got an Demon Contact ?" Dave asked casually.
Tony raised a brow at that—not because he doubted, but because he remembered all too well the last time Dave had dragged him into that pirate world and he ended up unlocking the Turbo Force.
"Wait... Is it another world or not?" he asked suspiciously.
Dave nodded. "Yes and not the same pirate world. This one’s different—you might unlock magic this time."
Tony squinted at him. "Magic, huh? Alright, fine. Let’s go then," he said, though not thrilled.
Dave smirked. "Steve, Bucky—coming along?"
