Chapter 2764 Star Core Rescue (Fifty)
"Okay, ma'am, don't worry, just take your time." Schiller held the phone and said to the other end in a gentle but powerful voice, "Your child is fine. I assure you that no one can hurt him. You just need to tell me the content of your dream."
The coffee next to Schiller was steaming, and there was another cup across the table, but no one was sitting there.
"So that's how it is." Schiller nodded and said, "Ma'am, the being called the Middleman is a combination of chaos and order, representing the balance of chaos and order in the universe. So you know that he has no ill will towards you and your child."
"As for that voice, since you haven't seen him, we have too little information now and cannot determine his identity for the time being. Don't be too anxious..."
"Yes, I assure you, the middleman is very powerful. He can use the power of chaos and order at the same time, which is enough to protect the child in your belly. You will be fine."
After hanging up the phone, Schiller pinched his brows. He was increasingly confused about the development of the situation. Schiller was not surprised that the middleman would come. It was very likely that he was just an avatar who came here to maintain the balance between chaos and order in this universe. The key to maintaining the balance was the baby in Lisa's belly.
Schiller had previously suspected that the guy who contacted Lisa in the dream was Nightmare. It was very likely that Gaia knew this information and found a middleman to protect Lisa in the dream.
The only problem is, this nightmare has nothing to do, so why would he get involved in chaos and order? He is not the kind of demon who would meddle in other people's business.
Schiller knew that no matter which world the dream controller came from, they all had their own special characteristics, so Nightmare could never be treated as an ordinary demon. However, his current actions made no sense at all, and it was difficult to guess what he was after.
Schiller went over all the information about Nightmare in his mind again. This guy is strong and weak at the same time. His best record should be defeating the abstract entity M, which is the incarnation of the cosmic abstract entity such as eternal death. Of course, he also defeated the Living Tribunal, but judging from his subsequent performance, he also defeated an incarnation.
The strength of the abstract entity that maintains the universe cannot be seen from the incarnations at all. In the comics, they are basically the stepping stones for the new generation of strong people, so there is this joke about the invincible Uncle Tun falling again.
But they have been killed so many times, and they still appear in the end, which proves that the strength of the dimensional incarnation means nothing. The key is the administrator authority they possess. Whoever can get this authority will truly defeat them.
But so far, most of the guys who killed the abstract entity dimensional incarnations have not shown the ability to modify the omnipotent universe at will. Those who have this ability do not need to kill these incarnations to prove themselves, so the combat power of Nightmare is somewhat exaggerated.
In addition, the special thing about Nightmare is probably that it lies in dreams. However, the nightmare dimension is not like DC's dream kingdom. It is not connected to all the universes in the entire big world. It is just a separate dimension. Therefore, it is obvious that Nightmare's control over dreams is not as good as that of Morpheus, the god of dreams, and his status is naturally far inferior.
After much thought, Schiller couldn't find any possible motives for the villain to suddenly contact Lisa, so he decided to let it go for now. After all, the middleman and the Lord of Chaos and Order behind him were no pushovers.
Even if something really happened to the child, Schiller could still find a way to get him back from the kingdom of death. The worst that could happen was that he would have to die in pain again.
Schiller picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of it. Just as he was about to say something, the phone rang.
"Hey, what's going on? They finally decided to come back? So who's the winner of the turkey arena?"
Hearing that name, Schiller smiled and said, "I guess it's him. No one can beat Stark in terms of wanting to win."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light from the floor-to-ceiling window behind Schiller was blocked. With the buzzing sound of the mecha, Schiller turned his head and Stark gave him a big hug.
Schiller laughed and said, "Congratulations on the win, although it's nothing to be proud of."
"He really has nothing to be proud of, because winning by underhanded tricks is not glorious at all." A red cloak also fell outside the French window, and it was obvious that Doctor Strange had also arrived.
Stark scoffed, but as if remembering something, he smiled widely, crossed his arms, looked at Schiller and said, "Would you like to hear about our experience?"
Schiller frowned politely, knowing that normally only dogs that had destroyed their house would be so excited.
Schiller had no room for rebuttal, and Stark did not come to ask for his opinion, so he just started talking on his own.
Although this was just a trick by Nick to transfer everyone away from Earth, the situation in Centauri was indeed a bit tense. Both Earth and Asgard hoped to gain some influence in this lawless area, so Stark and Thor went there in such a heroic manner.
Of course, it is inevitable to beat all the local forces, but the key is to demonstrate one's own military force, so Stark and Strange started fighting.
With Thor and Loki around, they of course couldn't fight each other. They just exchanged a few moves to show the special effects to the onlookers, but that was not the point.
Let me put it this way, there are many people who are good at fighting in the universe, and the people on Earth are already famous for their fighting skills, but no matter how good they are at fighting, they are just the next Asgard. The size of humans is still far from that, so just showing fighting skills cannot bring a strong enough deterrent.
So Stark and Strange made a bet that whoever found the Guardians of the Galaxy first would be the winner.
Finding people is actually a technical job. Although people always look down on those who call people over in street fights, when it really comes to the critical moment, it depends on how many people you can call over. This shows not only your street fighting skills, but your real network of contacts.
In a lawless area like Centaurus, being good at fighting is actually not a skill. To put it bluntly, even if you destroy everyone here, you cannot fundamentally shake the situation in the universe.
Just like the Golden Triangle on Earth, whoever shoots whom today and whoever kills whom tomorrow will have no impact on the international situation at all.
But if one day a major country issued a notice requiring a certain authority to actively cooperate, that would be a complete turn of events.
Therefore, backing is the most important thing here. Which backing you can get will fundamentally determine the outcome.
Of course, Asgard is humanity’s biggest backer. There’s no need to say much about this. Stark doesn’t even need to call for help, Thor will come. However, the Asgard civilization does have its own flaws after all, and its deterrent power is still not enough.
Strange's representative team is mainly composed of cosmic demons. Just think about it and you will know that the senior members of the Sanctum Sanctorum basically walk sideways in the universe. They can't say that they can ride on the head of the empire, but when the two sides meet, the three major empires will basically go around them.
The team represented by Stark was not of such a high level, but it made these waiting and watching forces feel more real, because he had shaken up the advanced civilizations that were the backbone of the three major empires and the Interstellar Alliance.
For some reason, most civilizations in the universe are technology-based. Even if they don't look like technology in the end, they are not mysterious magical creatures after all, so they are all classified as technological civilizations.
Since he belongs to the technological civilization, it is difficult to avoid dealing with Iron Man. Stark is considered to be the smartest human being on Earth, but in fact his personal wisdom is not ranked low in the universe. Basically, only Reed can compete with him.
No technological civilization is willing to offend such a smart person and scientist. Even though the current technological development on Earth is not very good, it is only a matter of time before such a person catches up.
Besides, it is precisely because the technology on Earth has not developed so fast that this big guy has the time to give our interstellar colonization factory and scientific research institute some constructive suggestions. Even if it is not so useful, it is at least an idea.
In fact, Stark has been privately cooperating on technology with these advanced civilizations. The technologies he is using now on Earth are indeed not useful to advanced civilizations, as they have already developed to advanced versions. But this does not mean that Stark cannot research more advanced technologies after obtaining them. When inspiration bursts out, all beings are equal, and even if eternity strolls over, he can optimize other people's codes.
Besides, it is precisely because these civilizations developed early and at a high level that they are not an obstacle to the Earth at all. It will take thousands of years for the Earth's technology to catch up with theirs. At present, there is no possibility of any conflict. Technological cooperation is mutually beneficial for everyone.
So these civilizations are also happy to support Stark. After all, doing business is not shameful.
Both sides used various tricks. The Cosmic Demon began to infiltrate the real world through his own dimension to look for the traces of the Guardians of the Galaxy. The major civilizations notified their lower-level units to cast a wide net.
In the end, it was no surprise that Stark won, because it was originally a mission assigned by Nick. Although there were some problems due to Star-Lord's reckless temptation, the Guardians of the Galaxy still successfully solved the problem and found a very hidden tavern to drink. Of course, this kind of tavern can only be found by those native to the galaxy civilization.
"You said you made a bet?" Schiller asked curiously, "What was the bet?"
Both eyes fell on Schiller. Schiller was a little puzzled. Doctor Strange took out the Eye of Agamotto, and Schiller saw two small fragments floating in it, one bigger and one smaller.
"Someone was very busy some time ago." Doctor Strange said sarcastically, "Why didn't Nick fine you to bankruptcy for violating the timeline?"
Schiller looked around, cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, I didn't mean to hide it from you..."
"Indeed, you just deleted the two timelines related to us and replaced them with a past that you are satisfied with." Stark said with his arms crossed.
"Isn't this great?" Schiller said, "Our story has not been changed. Everything is still the same as before. Only the history of mutants has been slightly modified."
"Yes, that was the case," Stark said, "but now I've won, so the timeline I owned will be put back. Long time no see, Sil."
