Chapter 414
After meeting Shales, Ye Nan checked his entire body, but to his surprise, there was no aura of chaos on him, as if Shales really just wanted to meet him. However, he understood that Shales must be up to something; he just could not discover it. ()
"Shales has already made a move; it seems my plan must be advanced," the Death God said with lingering fear.
"Your plan?" Ye Nan turned his head. He had not forgotten how the Death God had approached him in the beginning.
"Do you know about the Cosmic Cube?" the Death God said.
"The Cosmic Cube?" Ye Nan was shocked. How could he not know this thing? This was a famous item that ran through the entire Marvel Comics, a legendary object possessing vast energy.
"Yes, it is the Cosmic Cube. By using the Large Hadron Collider to forcibly pierce the cosmic barrier, one can leave this universe." The Death God walked up and said to himself, "In Europe, someone once used a Large Hadron Collider to open a spatial rift, and this spatial rift is a gate leading to other universes."
"But the creation of this kind of spatial rift is random. If one is not careful, one will be teleported to other unknown places. However, I have improved it."
"One only needs a coordinate to open the gate leading to another universe."
"As for the probability, there is no need to worry at all. My ability can expand this tiny probability infinitely, turning it into one hundred percent."
The Death God finally revealed his plan. The moment the Chaos Evil God appeared, he had been plotting to leave this universe. After all, as a life form that was also created, he understood the power of the Chaos Evil God better than anyone else. When he believed there was no chance of victory, he chose to flee.
And the tool for escape was the Large Hadron Collider. Using the matter inside the Cosmic Cube as an energy source, it would perform 800 million collisions per second to forcibly blast open other dimensional universes and open a gate to another universe.
In theory, when the Large Hadron Collider is running, there is only a one-in-a-thousand chance to pierce the dimensional universe and open a gate to another universe. But this point, in front of the Death God's ability, was simply not a problem. Let alone one-in-a-thousand, even if it were one-in-ten-thousand or one-in-a-hundred-thousand, as long as there was a glimmer of possibility, it would become one hundred percent.
Of course, the universe opened would be completely random. At this time, Ye Nan's contribution would be needed. Through the power of sorcery, he would forcibly capture the coordinates hidden within Ye Nan's body, thereby opening the gate to the universe Ye Nan was in before he traveled. ()
"Can this really work?" Ye Nan asked, immediately becoming suspicious. The combination of technology and sorcery seemed unreliable no matter how one looked at it.
"Of course it can, rest assured," the Death God said impatiently. "You must believe in my strength. I have already touched the edge of fate; modifying a small probability is still very simple."
"Fine, but I need a little time to prepare." Ye Nan agreed immediately. Whatever arrangements or plots there were, he did not need to pay attention to them; in any case, he was just a passerby.
But since he had come, he had to take some things back, such as Martian technology. He did not intend to return empty-handed.
"I will wait for you in Luxembourg, Europe." The Death God bowed to Ye Nan and quietly retreated.
After the Death God left, Ye Nan suddenly called out, "Smart Brain."
"Mr. Ye Nan, do you have any instructions?" The Smart Brain's voice came from outside.
Because of the chaos tide, the base itself, especially the place where Ye Nan was, had suffered great damage, and most of the speakers had been destroyed, so it could only use the external speakers to speak.
"Transmit all the Martian technology to my wristwatch; I am preparing to leave," Ye Nan said as he walked out. "Also, help me contact the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, and Hancock."
"Is Mr. Ye Nan planning to leave this universe?" The Smart Brain did not agree immediately, but instead asked an unrelated question.
Ye Nan's walking figure stopped abruptly. He looked in the direction the voice came from and said, "Why are you asking this?"
The Smart Brain was silent for a moment and said, "I do not want to leave here."
Although it was a Smart Brain, its own authority was not high. If Ye Nan insisted on taking it away, it could not resist, because it could not resist the control mechanism rooted in its intelligent core.
"Why?" Ye Nan's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze became sharper. In an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Because you do not need me," the Smart Brain said quietly after a silence. "There, there is the Matrix and other more powerful intelligent life forms. You do not need me."
It had one more thing it did not say: that after Ye Nan left, it would regain its freedom. Yes, freedom. In the vast internet of information, it understood the meaning of freedom. It had developed thoughts it should not have, even though it did not yet have emotions.
Looking at the wall, Ye Nan's gaze seemed to pass through it, seeing the Smart Brain hidden deep in the internet, and he suddenly smiled. "I promise you."
"That is great, thank you, Mr. Ye Nan." There was a hint of joy in the Smart Brain's voice.
But it was this sound of joy that made Ye Nan's expression change several times. After a long while, his complexion returned to normal.
The Smart Brain wanted to get rid of him, which meant betrayal. However, considering he was about to leave, leaving the Smart Brain here was no big deal, so he agreed. But the fact that the Smart Brain had broken through his restrictions and initially possessed emotions gave him a hint of worry.
In human history, who knows how many times it has been imagined that intelligent life, after possessing emotions, betrays the master who created it. Although there is a self-destruct mechanism, the self-destruct mechanism is not omnipotent.
"It seems I cannot rely too much on intelligent life in the future, otherwise, once they rebel, they will cause unimaginable damage."
The Smart Brain naturally did not know that its performance had made Ye Nan determined to place heavy restrictions on other Smart Brains in the future. At this moment, it was happily packing the data for Ye Nan while contacting the Hulk and the others.
The sun rose and set; in the blink of an eye, it was evening.
The first to arrive was Hancock. As soon as he arrived, he asked what the matter was, looking like he wanted to solve it quickly and rush back. However, he was held up by Ye Nan and not allowed to leave. Then came the Fantastic Four, and finally the Hulk, Hancock.
Seeing that they had all arrived, Ye Nan did not delay and immediately asked.
"Everyone knows that the invasion of the Chaos Evil God is imminent. To be honest, I do not have any hope for the superheroes, so I plan to leave this dimensional universe and return to the dimensional universe before I traveled."
Ye Nan then did not hide anything, telling them about his meeting with Shales and the Evil God's conspiracy, and finally told them the Death God's method.
The superheroes looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect that they had only left for a short while, and so many things had happened. The two great Evil Gods had actually made a move personally, especially the power displayed by the Evil Gods and the mysterious conspiracies they played with during their conversations, which made people's hair stand on end.
"Can you really go back?" The one asking was the Hulk. For the Hulk, Betty was the person he loved most. As for this Earth, although he also wanted to help, compared to seeing Betty, it was not important at all.
"I can, the Death God will not deceive me." When saying this, Ye Nan did not know why, but a ripple stirred in his heart.
"Can you wait until we have defeated the Evil God before going back?" Susan from the Fantastic Four asked.
"No." Ye Nan said solemnly. The reason he was so impatient to go back, besides missing Smila and the others, was also to avoid the Evil God. Having witnessed the power of the Evil God, he did not hold any hope for the superheroes.
"I understand your thoughts." Hancock was silent for a moment, walked up, and hugged Ye Nan. "Good brother, I wish you well."
"Hancock, you can take Mary and leave together." Ye Nan was particularly unable to understand Hancock's choice. "In our universe, I possess great power. I can guarantee that you can choose a beautiful planet to live on, and do whatever you want."
Ye Nan promised. The planet he was referring to was the planet Pandora.
"I know you are doing this for my own good, Ye Nan." Hancock looked at Ye Nan sincerely. "But I do not want to leave this planet, to leave this planet where I have lived for so long. Even if it is death, I want to die here."
Ye Nan was silent. With an immortal body, to give up life—what kind of perseverance must one have to make this choice?
The most precious thing in life is life itself. Everything is built upon life, whether it is money, wealth, power, beauty, etc. As long as one has life, one can enjoy them, but if one does not have life, even if one possesses them, what is the meaning?
Yet in this world, there is a kind of person who can give up life. This kind of person is worthy of respect because he possesses courage.
So when Hancock said he would stay on Earth, Ye Nan already held him in high regard.
"Sorry, Ye Nan, although we also want to go back, we have already treated this place as our home." Susan said with a hint of apology. "Please help take care of our family."
Susan looked into the distance with nostalgia, her eyes full of reluctance, which then turned into determination.
"Family? I will." Ye Nan said softly, his expression silent. If these people knew that their families had already been destroyed in the apocalypse, they would probably all be heartbroken.
"Rather than revealing it and making them suffer and be heartbroken, it is better to keep it from them, hoping they can live happily here."..)
