Chapter 2417: Bats Fight (Twenty-Seven)
With a whoosh, Strange reappeared in the base of the Glorious Alliance. It was obvious that he had just reminded Nick, but his expression was solemn when he came back.
"There is something in the time stream." Strange said, "Nick has just detected him and is now organizing the Time Management Bureau to capture him, but that thing is very strange."
"What's so strange about this?" Stark didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He said, "Is this another so-called time offender?"
"Not at all." Strange said, "It's not a carbon-based creature like us, or even an intelligent life form. It looks more like a weird regular structure. This is the main reason why Nick hasn't been able to catch it for a long time."
The room fell silent, everyone stared at Strange, and Stark sat up straight and said, "Is this thing very harmful?"
"It's a threat to all time travelers," Strange said. "It seems that once a person travels through the time stream fast enough and often enough, it will appear behind them and kill them."
Professor X widened his eyes slightly. He said, "You mean it's something like a natural disaster? It punishes users of certain abilities?"
"That's what Nick said." Strange looked up at the screen. A battle had broken out in Paris. Now the Spider-Men were facing the giant spider, causing smoke and dust to fly and the sky to darken.
"Can Nick catch it?" Stark told Strange before he could even tell from his face that this might be difficult.
"Nick himself is not a user of time ability, and the employees of the Time Management Bureau are just traveling through time through machines. They can only see the monster but cannot touch it."
"What about Kang?" Loki asked, "When all timelines are returned to the sacred timeline, Kang should have become a true time ability user."
"Nick is trying to contact him... Oh, they got in touch." Strange frowned and looked at his phone and said, "Kon said he hadn't seen this thing either, and he hadn't seen it in any timeline. He suspected that this was not a native species of our universe."
"You don't think it came from the other universe, do you?" Loki knew the situation in the other universe very well. He said, "But it's not surprising. There are many strange things there."
"What now? Can Kang defeat it?" Stark said.
"I think it's very risky." Strange shook his head and said, "Kang has control over the timeline, but this kind of foreign object is beyond his control, and he doesn't have a strong enough attack power to defeat the opponent with one blow."
The news came quickly. Kang had indeed caught up with the monster. To be more precise, the monster had caught up with him. Kang intended to launch a sneak attack and injured the monster with one punch, but it ran away.
"It's too fast." Kang's voice came from the communicator. "I think if I can fully control it, I should be able to kill it, but the way he moves in the time stream is beyond anyone's imagination. It's more like teleportation."
"Teleport in time?"
"Yes, some kind of time-jumping ability. Although I can also use this ability, my speed is slower than this one. The only way to catch it now is for me to create countless clones, search for it extensively in the time stream, and finally surround and destroy it."
"But I can't guarantee that these clones will be completely controllable in the end," Kang said. "Just like the previous situation, they may split into countless me and then attack each other."
"No, don't do that." Loki said, "This monster that exists in the time stream only threatens those with time and speed abilities, but if your clone stirs up trouble again, it may threaten many people."
At this time, Professor X also received a call. The voice on the other end was obviously Magneto's. After hanging up the phone, Professor X pulled Magneto in.
"Someone is chasing Quicksilver." Magneto said, "He was injured and almost killed."
Although it seemed that he just wanted to understand the situation, his tone sounded like he was coming to accuse Stark. Stark was already very annoyed, and when he heard his tone, he was about to explode on the spot. Fortunately, Loki stopped him.
"Some of our people are injured as well." Loki said from the perspective of the Time Management Bureau: "A monster is hunting down people with time and speed abilities. We don't know where it came from yet. We are trying to find a way to destroy it."
"I think it has to be as soon as possible." Magneto said, "I can surpass the speed of light by incarnating the magnetic field. Will it appear behind me?"
"Don't try it lightly." Professor X said, "If you can't kill it with one blow, it may make it more difficult to catch."
At this time, Stark found that Ultron had sent a large amount of data. He clicked it and took a look, and his brows furrowed more and more as he looked.
Now on the screen, the Batmen have successfully lured out the three most powerful super personalities. Batwoman is using her Aquaman to restrain Fireman, Batman Doom is fighting a sumo wrestler, and the Batman in the pursuit team is also moving smoothly. Those super personalities are aware of what they are doing, but are unable to provide support in the first time due to interference.
Stark had to project all the information to the other side of the screen, and what was displayed on it was the information of the Flash, along with the experiences of many different universe Flashes.
"Speedy Death?" Loki said the name with some doubt. He said, "But there is no Speedy Death in our universe."
"This shows that there are similar concepts in our universe, which is not surprising." Stark explained: "If time is also a kind of rule, and the creator god who created this world allows ordinary people to understand it in a simpler way, then a similar concept must be formulated to allow some creatures that are not regular creatures to travel through it."
"Considering the similarities between the two universes, this is not impossible." Strange said, "I even suspect that our two universes have the same creator god. He just copied and pasted the parameters of the universe and changed the names of all the files to make two different universes. In fact, they are still the same in essence."
"But judging from the Flash's profile, he is not such a fool." Professor X spoke for the Flash because he could understand him. Professor X went on to say, "From his performance, although he is obsessed with the death of his parents, he is still a good man with justice in his heart, and he can stick to his bottom line most of the time."
"Yeah, but what about this?" Stark projected another red figure onto the screen, but this time he had two pointy ears on top of his head.
After reading his information, everyone was silent. It was hard to believe that Batman, who would even go to the extreme of killing his own friends because of the death of his parents, would not deliberately send a monster to another universe.
"Ultron said he is awake now, but we still have to maintain the necessary suspicion." Stark stroked the communicator on his arm and said, "And the bad consequences he brought are irreversible. We have to find a way to deal with this monster now."
"Wait a minute." Loki, who had been a conspirator for who knows how many years, immediately said, "Remember? These Batmen are actually just the product of another conspiracy. There is also a mastermind hiding behind them."
"You mean the one who polluted them," said Strange, who had obviously also heard this weird story, also from Ultron.
Loki nodded and said, "Don't you find it strange? This man has the will and ability to corrupt so many Batmen. Is his plan just to contaminate them all?"
"What was he trying to do by contaminating them? What purpose did he want to achieve by using them? Where was the final destination of his plan?"
The room was silent. It was obvious that everyone was immersed in thought. Stark shook his head and said doubtfully, "You don't mean to say that his target is our universe, do you?"
"It's not impossible." Loki stood up and began to pace in front of the screen and said, "You see, the existence of the fighting world is not a secret between our universe and the multiverse of their universe, because many superheroes have already participated in it."
"Let's assume that this mastermind is not some old antique who has been hiding in the mountains and forests for millions of years and wants to destroy the universe, but a superhero who has become evil like these Batmans. Then he will definitely pay attention to the Doujie."
"He will know that there is a system that allows him to travel between the two universes. This is great news for a strategist because he will have more room to maneuver."
Loki lowered his head and said as if recalling a memory: "If I were a madman who wanted to destroy the universe, yes, I used to be, but I am not now, so I can think more empathetically."
"I know that the destruction of the universe is an inevitable fate, and there is no need for me to go to another universe to live in disgrace. However, on the way to the destruction of the universe, I will definitely have to fight with many people, so I must be fully prepared."
"It is unrealistic to put all my preparations in this universe, because I am also active in this universe. I will make a lot of noise and attract a lot of attention. Once they pay attention to me, my preparations may be discovered by them and become ineffective."
"But if I can send the key and life-saving preparations in certain plans to another universe in a clever way, I can make a strategic shift when the universe destruction plan does not go smoothly, be reborn in another universe, and accumulate strength again."
"We know that it is not so easy to travel between these two universes in an ordinary way, but if I knew at this time that there was a magical system that could allow all uploaders to easily travel between the universes through the portal, wouldn't I have any ideas?"
Strange was silent for a moment, because Loki's confession made a lot of sense. Everyone present was smart. They could imagine that if there really was a genius madman causing trouble on the other side, and he learned about the Doujie system, he would definitely make this place his strategic base, which would be beneficial to him.
"Assuming that infecting our universe is the ultimate goal of the other party's plan to pollute Batman, then this monster from the depths of the Speed Force that Batman brought in with the help of Flash must not be an accident. He must be hiding the other party's secrets."
"Find a way to catch him!" Stark couldn't sit still anymore. He said, "If his plan is so huge that it requires two universes to contain it, and he succeeds in putting it into practice, it means he is evil enough and powerful enough."
"What about Schiller?" Professor X asked a key question. "What role does he play in this plan? Is he really unaware and unprepared?"
Holding the teacup in one hand, the smoke rising from the cup climbed up to the lenses of his eyes. Schiller took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, drank a sip of hot tea, and leaned back in the comfortable office chair.
"How long has the doctor been chasing Crazy Laughter?" Schiller muttered to himself. "He's been chasing him so hard that he's laid his eggs here."
Hahahaha last night's running group hahahahaha
