MCU- CH-228. Who you are?

When the Sentry lost his sanity, the golden Superman who had played the role of a superhero for a while finally revealed his true nature as an addict.

He leapt up, snatched the prepared Sentry serum from the laboratory, and drank it.

His expression mirrored that of a desperate drug addict, and Nick Fury felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his heart.

Fortunately, the Sentry calmed down after consuming the serum.

Later, the Sentry, having regained his composure, approached Nick Fury with an apologetic look on his face. He claimed that everything he had done was caused by the monster "Void" within him.

"I have no way to stop the Void; its power is too overwhelming!"

Faced with the Sentry's words, Fury outwardly expressed belief but harbored a trace of doubt in his heart.

He wasn't certain if the so-called Void actually existed or if the Sentry's alternate personality truly dominated his body.

"Reynolds, I think you might need some help!"

"You might want to consult Dr. Banner. He has considerable experience in dealing with an 'other self' in his body."

"Also, I hope you can calm down and practice some inner control techniques for a while. What do you think?"

This time, Fury didn't address him by the code name Sentry but instead by his real name, Reynolds.

At this point, Nick Fury no longer trusted the Sentry enough to send him on missions casually.

"All right." Reynolds replied.

He understood the severity of the issues he had revealed and didn't refuse Fury's suggestion.

The immediate storm seemed to subside, but Fury wondered whether this was just the beginning of a larger problem. One thing was clear—precautionary measures had to be taken against the Sentry.

In the following days, the Sentry began learning methods to control his mind under Bruce Banner's guidance.

Just when everything seemed to be progressing smoothly, the Sentry entered his consciousness space to converse with the Void as usual. However, he was shocked to find an uninvited guest there that day.

A strange man with two horns on his head and scarlet eyes stood in the depths of his consciousness.

For a moment, Reynolds thought he had developed a new personality.

Initially, he assumed this man, to be a third identity, but something felt off.

The Void, who usually tempted him and spoke incessantly, was eerily quiet. Even more shocking was that the Void—normally an amorphous shadow—had taken on human form, mirroring Reynolds' own appearance but twisted, cruel, and unhinged. Even more surprising, this Void now seemed to display fear toward the horned man.

"Who are you? How did you enter my consciousness?" Reynolds asked Luke warily.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is whether you understand who you are." Luke responded with a strange smile.

Hearing this, Reynolds' mind began racing.

Was there more to his identity than he understood? After all, according to the professor's research on the Sentry serum, the formula seemed flawed. The finished medicine, tested on others, had no effect whatsoever.

It was possible that the serum lacked the critical components required for human evolution.

In other words, the serum should not have worked. Yet here he stood, a living contradiction. Even Nick Fury and Jean speculated whether something other than the serum had caused Reynolds' transformation into the Sentry.

This secrecy gnawed at Reynolds, and Luke's cryptic remark only deepened his suspicion.

Reynolds attempted to use his immense mental powers to probe Luke's thoughts, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sense anything. It was as if Luke was an empty shell, an illusion without any consciousness.

However, Reynolds refused to believe an illusion could provoke such fear in the Void.

"Who am I?" Reynolds whispered to himself, hesitant. Finally, he spoke aloud to Luke, "I'm Robert Reynolds… the Sentry?"

His voice wavered with doubt.

"Correct!" Luke replied with a mocking smile, "But you forgot a few things. You're also a despicable drug addict, a coward who can't stand by his principles, and a hypocrite playing superhero games."

Each word hit Reynolds like a hammer. His glorious, heroic self-image shattered rapidly.

Luke's unrestrained words stripped him bare, leaving Reynolds feeling like a clown mocked by the world.

"Shut up! Shut up, or I'll kill you!" Reynolds roared in desperation.

His golden battle suit flared with radiant energy as his anger surged. His scarlet eyes glowed, matching the intensity of Luke's gaze.

Enraged, Reynolds lashed out, his massive energy amplifying his strength as he launched a devastating punch at Luke.

But Luke didn't flinch. With a single finger, he blocked Reynolds' full-force attack effortlessly.

This infuriated the Sentry further. He roared, unleashing golden energy that erupted like a volcano. His speed increased exponentially as he launched millions of punches in mere moments.

"Die! Die!" He screamed, his voice twisted with madness.

The Void, observing from the sidelines, smiled wickedly.

Luke had promised Void that if he submitted, he could gain full control of Reynolds' body. Now, Void merely had to wait for the Sentry to fall, after which he could imprison Reynolds permanently.

Luke, however, remained composed. Even as Reynolds attacked with unrelenting ferocity, Luke deflected each blow with a single finger, his expression indifferent.

Watching the futile, frenzied assaults, Luke felt amused.
