Chapter 1407

The sky over Helheim was always shrouded in thick dark clouds. This sky had also become very clear under the power of the thunder storm, but this time these dark clouds were actually man-made blindfolds.

Hidden behind the dark clouds was the outpost base for this operation. Of course, if it were just about going down to swing fists and fight, there would be no need for any base, nor would it have to be built in the Underworld. But the role of this base was not just to station troops; its greatest role was still scientific research.

"Alana, how is the portal expansion going? Do we need another unit of energy?" Standing in front of a mirror, Strange turned and shouted. Another Great Mage, who was pouring energy into the M'kraan Crystal standing in front of the window, shouted: "We need two and a half more units of energy. When is Peter coming?"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" At the end of the corridor, Peter Parker ran over in a hurry, wearing glasses and carrying a schoolbag, looking like a high school student who had just finished school, but he was actually rushing over from Stark's most cutting-edge laboratory.

While running, he took out a paper from his bag, waved the paper at the mage, and said: "Don't rush to give energy yet, let me put the equipment down."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Peter shouted at the robots behind him: "First measure the readings of the nearby environment, and then deploy the equipment."

Seeing the robots flying down in an orderly manner, Peter quickened his pace to Strange's side. Strange handed him a glass of water. Peter took a few deep breaths and said: "Kamar-Taj's monitoring and recording devices are too backward. Such precious data cannot be missed."

Strange smiled at him and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Peter. You also know that large portal technology cannot be achieved overnight. It is already very lucky to have a large portal like the M'kraan Crystal that connects two universes for us to study. By the way, have you read some technical data that Mystique brought back from the Shi'ar Empire?"

"Of course I read it." Peter walked out of the room with Strange and said: "It is precisely by virtue of these technologies that I wrote a paper on portals and cross-universe channels. Oh, by the way, I have to go down later to collect some field data. How is the situation below?"

Strange stopped and looked at Peter with a serious expression, saying: "What data do you need to go down and collect in the field? Peter, it's not that I'm talking about you, but you should also know your own importance. If something happens to you in my hands, Tony won't be done with me!"

"I was just about to ask, where did Tony go?" Peter asked with some confusion.

"Who knows." Strange shrugged and said: "The day I called Stark Industries, Pepper answered. She said that Tony received a call that day and ran out in a hurry. I don't know where he went, but you don't need to worry about him. Let's talk about your own business."

"I'm not going to the front line. I plan to go behind the M'kraan Crystal to see how it condenses energy. Seeing it with my own eyes cannot be replaced by data on paper."

Strange hesitated, but still said: "Okay, you can go down, but I must let that group of mutants accompany you down, otherwise it's too dangerous."

Peter spread his hands noncommittally, then scratched his head, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Then you must tell them not to touch my equipment. That's very important."

After a while, the mutants were ready. Hearing that Peter was going to study the M'kraan Crystal, they were even more active than Strange. Magneto, Phoenix, and Blink accompanied Peter down.

Peter had spent some time teaching in the Andromeda Galaxy before and got along well with the mutants. Peter and Blink chatted about things in university while walking out. When they looked down through the dark clouds to the outside of the base, Peter clicked his tongue and said: "It's really chaotic down there. I've never seen so many skeleton frames in my life."

"Who hasn't?" Jean Grey walked up, patted Peter on the shoulder with a smile, looked back at Magneto who was still looking serious, and shook her head. Magneto waved his hand lightly, and several people floated up and flew toward the M'Kraan Crystal, which was still constantly spitting out monster superheroes.

And at this time on the battlefield, the monster superheroes who were constantly dying and constantly being resurrected became more and more irritable.

Monster Captain America threw his shield hard. The shield drew a beautiful arc, broke the leg bones of four or five skeletons, and knocked them flying at the same time. The skeleton frames scattered all over the ground reorganized into four or five skeletons in less than a second, and then continued to surround Captain America.

Monster Iron Man flew in mid-air and bombed wildly. The skeletons on the ground couldn't do anything to him, but the skeleton army also had aerial combat units. In addition to skeleton birds that looked like prehistoric giant eagles, there were skeleton pterosaurs, shadow crow swarms summoned by skeleton mages, and endless magic missiles, causing his flight path to be constantly interfered with.

The suit worn by monster Iron Man was not advanced. In the numbering of the Mark series, it was even a single digit, and it hadn't developed into the later Iron Man suit army. He did bring a lot of ammunition, but unfortunately, this stuff was of little use to skeletons.

Spider-Man's situation was even worse. The Spider-Man of this world was just a street hero. If his strength and agility were indeed among the best, and his spider-sense could still be used, it was really of no use in the face of this human sea tactic.

"When will Thor and the others arrive?" Monster Iron Man roared: "We need large-scale attack methods to crush this group of bone frames!"

"He'll be here soon!!" Monster Captain America shouted.

"Hurry up, I'm going to die again!" Monster Spider-Man let out a wail. There were at least five or six skeleton swordsmen around him, and he was really overwhelmed.

Spider-Man bent down, dodged a shield swung over, his spider-sense rang wildly, he rolled on the ground quickly, dodged the kick from the skeleton swordsman, a roar came out, he punched away the shield lying in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw several figures flying over from mid-air swaggeringly.

"It's their people... Hurry! Hurry and infect Magneto!!... Wait, who is that? Peter Parker?" Monster Spider-Man let out an exclamation, and then gritted his teeth and shouted: "This damn coward!!! I want to tear him to pieces with my own hands!!!"

Peter, flying in mid-air, looked at the scene of fighting into a ball below with great interest. His eyes kept searching for the figures of some acquaintances. Sure enough, among a group of skeleton frames, he found that red and gold figure.

"Can they still be saved?" Peter asked with some hesitation. Although he knew that the superheroes of this universe had completely turned into monsters, his conscience still made him feel sad when he saw friends who had turned into monsters.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, Peter." Jean Grey patted Peter on the shoulder, shook her head, and said: "This kind of madness is highly polluting. We must first ensure our own safety. Undead warriors without souls are just one of the means."

"Okay, but I still feel a bit strange."

"Of course, I understand your sadness." Jean Grey walked forward to comfort Peter, but Peter shook his head, frowned, and said: "No, I don't mean this. Don't you think they are a bit... weak?"

Peter observed for a while with his arms crossed seriously. At this time, the red and gold monster Iron Man was avoiding the flying skeleton units in mid-air while charging his hand cannon, then seizing the opportunity to fire missiles and blow up a few skeletons.

Peter revealed an extremely confused expression and said: "What on earth is this Iron Man doing? What about the compressed EMP generator in his left arm armor? When would he use it to wash the ground with electromagnetic weapons if not now? What on earth is he bombing???"

Grey looked down along Peter's gaze. Although she really didn't understand machinery and didn't understand modern warfare very well, she could also see that the efficiency of missiles against these skeleton frames was not high enough. Explosions could indeed blow up skeleton warriors, but they couldn't completely eliminate the bones. Many skeletons blown away would condense and form in mid-air, which was equivalent to being busy for a long time and all in vain.

"Maybe the Iron Man of their universe didn't research this kind of thing." Blink speculated.

"But what's going on with his flight path?" Peter was still very confused. He said: "This calculation speed is comparable to the computer in the university computer room... Wait a minute, is he manually controlling the mecha? Where is Jarvis?"

"The data Riley sent back said that this kind of madness cannot infect machines, and in the beginning, many robots formed a resistance army, so they completely distrust any intelligent life. The intelligent life in their universe seems to have been almost wiped out." Jean Grey explained.

"Isn't this self-defeating?" Peter shook his head and stopped talking.

Soon, they flew to a place close to the M'Kraan Crystal portal. The intelligent robots Peter had put down before were already flying around monitoring data, but because they had stealth functions, the monster superheroes busy fighting didn't notice at all.

Peter needed a place to land, so he controlled two robots to appear and then began to build a platform. Soon, a small metal platform was suspended at the top of the portal. After Peter landed on the platform, he first deployed a shield and then began to take out equipment from his coat.

Now most of the equipment related to the construction of the Mercury base had been compressed. Peter stuffed all the compressed equipment into his business card holder and just looked for them like flipping through business cards when needed.

"I think I might need a pair of goggles, and then a vision conversion device... The light is a bit strong, and the shielding device should also be needed."

Peter muttered while throwing out business cards. Soon, several small pieces of equipment stood on the platform. Several mutants didn't know much about technology and just guarded around the platform to ensure Peter's safety.

After observing for a while, Peter raised his head and said: "I want to observe the two energy nodes at the bottom, can I?"

"Avoid getting close to them." Magneto's tone still had no fluctuations, but one could hear a bit of his worry. Blink immediately added: "In the data Riley gave us, it says that looking directly into their eyes will drive you crazy, so we set up the outpost in a very high place. It would be terrible if we were controlled."

"I'll just go down for a while, take a look and leave, can't I?" Peter said further. He hesitated, but still said: "Okay, we won't land, just float in the air about ten meters from the ground. It's really too high here, I can't see anything."

Jean Grey still wanted to persuade, but Magneto waved his hand lightly, and the metal platform slowly descended. At this time, more and more superhero monsters below began to become excited.

They were really fed up with this group of skeleton frames that wouldn't die or go crazy. They wanted fresh flesh and blood and more madness.

And the most urgent and thirsty among them was monster Spider-Man. He vowed to infect himself in another universe first, and then tear him to pieces with his own hands. The crazy and violent thoughts in his mind left him no time to care about anything else.

Peter was squatting next to the instrument, observing the energy flow through special vision. A figure suddenly flashed in the peripheral vision of his vision.

Peter straightened his body, looked into the distance, and then saw a familiar red and blue figure crashing over in an extremely violent posture.

"Spider-Man?" Peter narrowed his eyes, and then he found that this counterpart from another universe seemed to be coming for him.

Peter wanted to stand up and roll up his sleeves, but soon felt himself pressed in place by the magnetic field. Magneto glanced at him indifferently, his eyes probably saying "you continue."

Magneto's black cape fluttered in the wind. He stretched out his hands and lifted them lightly. Within a few kilometers around, countless metal weapons used by the skeletons all vibrated, and then flew here from all directions.

Monster Spider-Man had just soared into the sky and rushed toward here, when he felt something extra under his feet. He looked down and found it was a steel runway formed by countless weapons squeezed together.

He accelerated to run forward, wanting to jump over before the front of the runway condensed and formed, but soon, the runway bent upward until it became a circle—that's right, Magneto built a hamster wheel.

Watching that monster Spider-Man run faster and faster in the running wheel, faster and faster, until he was out of breath at the end, and still had to grit his teeth and continue running, Peter slapped his forehead. Compared to watching other superheroes, watching another self make a fool of himself had a greater impact.

Just as Peter sighed and wanted to put his attention back on the equipment, a private message suddenly appeared in the chat room in his mind, from the Amazing Spider-Man of the main universe.

"Hey, Peter, thank you for the technology you provided before. We stabilized the 'cosmic fault' for a period of time, but our universe has experienced too many great battles and is already on the verge of its limit. I'm afraid that within a week, the rift in the cosmic fault will officially open."

"You said that you have already been invaded by that strange crazy universe, and also said that they have set their sights on us, so do you have any good suggestions for us?"

"Oh, please don't misunderstand. I don't mean to ask you to come and help, but since you have already fought, then I should be able to get some intelligence about the enemy from you, so as to avoid being in a rush when they attack."

"I heard that endless madness has strengthened their military force, is that so?"

After listening to the private message, Peter looked up at monster Spider-Man, who was already tired and starting to stick out his tongue on the hamster wheel, and said in a slightly hesitant tone:

"I don't know if their military force has been strengthened or not, but their intelligence is indeed... a bit ailing."
