Chapter 1544: The Sun Chaser (Part 21)

~10 min read 1,995 words

Adam was completely stunned.

In the process of being knocked away by more than sixty shields in turn, it wasn't that he couldn't dodge, it was just that he was thinking about where these sixty-plus shields came from.

And without using special abilities to look back at the timeline, Adam's conclusion was: is the Captain America of this universe actually a centipede?

Adam, who landed in the pile of penguins, was still thinking, but soon, the team rushing from the ice answered his doubt. The good news was that the Captain America of this universe was not a centipede; the bad news was that there were more than sixty Captain Americas holding shields here, and Adam couldn't beat even one.

Not being able to beat one Captain America wasn't a big deal; it was just being forced into a 50/50 split by the rules of the universe. But when there were more than sixty Captain Americas, the nature of the matter changed.

What happened next could probably be described by this sentence—the bumps on the head, some big and some small, all knocked by people, all self-inflicted.

Adam, who had been fighting more than sixty Captain Americas in the penguin pile for half a day, found that he hadn't lost to Captain America, but to that unwilling self.

Facts proved that the 50/50 Captain was specialized in treating all kinds of fancy tricks. It was hard to lose, and winning was even more impossible.

Adam, who had been punching and kicking the air for a while, finally lost his patience. He didn't even leave a word for these Captain Americas and directly teleported back to New York.

Some people might want to ask, why didn't Adam just leave Earth? It could only be said, what novice programmer hadn't had the dream of standing up to turn the tide when important programs reported errors on a large scale?

Adam had made precise calculations. If Captain America only used running, then they would definitely need some time to run back to New York. And once they returned to New York, he could lead them away again, and then use teleportation to return to New York, buying himself time to modify the program.

To prevent his teleportation destination from falling exactly into Schiller's field of vision, Adam deliberately chose to land above the sea.

Then he was hit by more than two hundred rockets within a second, his head buzzing.

Having finally flown out of the battlefield, Adam discovered that there were more than forty Iron Men fighting on the sea now. The scene was more lively than a Disney fireworks show. No matter what they called the armor they were wearing before, now they were definitely called "Anti-Adam Armor."

Facts proved that not all heroes were suitable for forming a Spider-Army like Spider-Man, cooperating with other selves, or rather, this kind of joint method of Spider-Man was the weirdo of the multiverse. Three monks just had no water to drink, but more than forty Iron Men could definitely blow up the temple.

Adam, who had escaped the explosion range, looked at the chaotic mechas and shouted in a breakdown: "What is all this?!

How did they get here?!

"

At this moment, Adam looked back along the timeline, and then saw another super yarn ball next to Schiller's super yarn ball. Its owner was Nick Fury.

After carefully studying Nick Fury's multiversal talent acquisition and cultivation plan, Adam didn't know whether to be shocked by his whimsical thinking, his courage to commit cross-universe kidnapping, or his moral bottom line that was as deep and bottomless as Schiller's.

Flying over New York, Adam looked into the distance. In the Bronx, red and green giants were swinging fists at each other; on the Manhattan Bridge, mutants were dancing wildly; on the Brooklyn Bridge, mutants were dancing wildly; in Queens, agents were shooting passionately; in the distance, Iron Man was bombing; nearby, Captain America was knocking heads with shields.

Facing this scene, Adam finally understood a truth—if the shit-mountain code has no shit, it can't even be considered code.

But Adam still didn't give up. He thought about it. The main reason for this problem was that the interpersonal relationships on Earth were too complicated. One hair moved the whole body. Often a small decision could affect several storylines. He had just returned and plunged into hell difficulty, so of course it would be hard to fight.

So, he decided to carry out a simpler task and correct the error in a purer environment.

But in fact, Adam had made another mistake. He thought, I have pasted so much code from other universes, there should be one that can run, right?

So, Adam went to Asgard.

The main problem in Asgard was that Loki had used a strategy of retreating to advance, dispelling Odin's idea of picking a human son-in-law in advance.

Odin had figured it out. The base of humans was so huge that the probability of falling in love with a weakling was far greater than the probability of falling in love with a strong person. Ordinary humans polluted the card pool, but Odin couldn't do anything about them. Rather than gambling on probability, it was better to stop early.

But this should have been a part of Schiller's plan. Adam thought carefully about how to make Odin regain this idea and change his mind again to decide to choose a son-in-law among humans?

I'm afraid the key was still Loki. Adam decided to find Loki and let him talk to Odin, expressing that his heart was already in Earth and he would not marry anyone but a human.

Adam learned from the Asgardian palace guards that Loki was in confinement. He thought this was a good thing, giving him a chance to talk to Loki alone. Loki was a smart person, and presumably he could understand his good intentions.

Then he discovered that Loki was not in the confinement room at all. Even the goddess who delivered water and food was just pretending. Everyone knew he was not in the confinement room, but no one cared, including Odin who confined him.

Adam had to search for Loki's traces in the universe, and then he discovered that Loki was with Thanos.

Well, this wasn't surprising in this universe, Adam thought. He just wanted to teleport over, take Loki away, and talk to him, when he heard Loki say to Thanos.

"The Collector told me that the Soul Stone is symbiotic with a person named Adam Warlock. In S. H. I. E. L. D.'s data and Asgard's records of human history, I learned that a company called Enclave created a perfect artificial human..."

"They embedded the Soul Stone on his forehead, ensuring that he possessed powerful power at the spiritual level, and also ignited his soul fire, giving him true life. If we want to get the Soul Stone, we must first find Adam Warlock..."

Thanos was silent for a while and said: "The Soul Stone has an irreplaceable role among the Infinity Stones. It can completely erase the existence of a life from the spiritual level. More importantly, if you want to unite the Infinity Stones, then the Soul Stone is indispensable."

Loki nodded and looked at Thanos, saying: "Just as we agreed before, I am responsible for providing clues to the Infinity Stones, and you are responsible for finding the people who possess them."

"The only clue I can provide you about Adam Warlock is that he bought a small spaceship in Centauri not long ago using his real name. I found the production place of this spaceship and had someone hack into its log system, and then discovered that this spaceship was completely destroyed about three days ago. The location is the Kree Empire's Great Prison."

Adam, who was eavesdropping, was a bit confused. If he heard correctly, Loki was helping Thanos find the Infinity Stones?

This wasn't right. When this thought just appeared in Adam's mind, he felt his thinking stagnate for a moment, and then he reacted—this was right!

In many other universes, Loki had helped Thanos find the Infinity Stones, which meant that their storylines were correct. Then if Adam took Loki away now, wouldn't the storyline be wrong again?

Adam covered his eyes and had a battle between heaven and man in his heart. Just before he made a decision, he heard Thanos say: "That's a good clue, but I can't get away now. The Annihilation Wave is invading the three major empires, and as an interstellar security consultant, I must run around, urging them to unite to resist foreign enemies..."

"Well, it seems it's my turn to do the errands again. But you'd better really be able to make the three major empires unite, otherwise you won't be able to deal with that group of bugs."

Loki's voice disappeared, and Adam felt that he had left. And at this time, he made another mistake—if a program has no bugs, don't "optimize" it because you want the program to run more efficiently.

Adam felt that he needed to prevent Loki from going to the Kree Empire's Great Prison. On the one hand, he still needed the identity of Adam Warlock to carry out activities, and he didn't want to hand over the Soul Stone. On the other hand, he was afraid that Loki would disturb another automatically running program, which was the task that Quill and Rocket Raccoon were carrying out to form the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Adam appeared directly in front of Loki and told her that he was actually an incarnation of a high-level god in the universe, and everything he was doing now was to maintain the safety of the universe, and Loki and Thanos couldn't dig the stone on his forehead, no one could do it.

Loki followed the trend, agreed very quickly, and his attitude was very gentle, which made Adam almost tearful. In the vast universe, he finally found someone who understood him.

And Loki said that although it couldn't be done in reality, he had to try his best to do it, so that Thanos would feel that he had tried his best.

Adam felt that Loki was so understanding, and he couldn't be too aggressive, so he agreed to accompany her to the ruins of the Kree Empire's Great Prison.

After arriving there, Adam found that the small spaceship that had been stabbed like a colander before had been abandoned by the Quill trio. Adam guessed that they might have found other escort ships of the Kree Empire according to his strategy and left here. At this time, they might be on the way to pick up Gamora or Drax the Destroyer.

Adam breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his decision was correct. Sure enough, things went smoothly after leaving Earth.

And at this time, Loki said again that in order to make Thanos feel his dedication, he wanted to drag the time of this task as long as possible, so he planned to walk around in the universe and incidentally observe the situation of the Annihilation Wave. If Adam didn't mind, he could also go with him.

Adam wanted to decline, but he thought he still had to find a chance to talk to Loki about Odin's son-in-law candidate, so he simply followed Loki. He asked Loki for the destination, and Loki said he was strolling.

Loki was indeed strolling aimlessly in the universe, just strolling, and Adam heard a rumble of thunder from the end of the sky.

The moment Thor appeared, Loki flashed behind him with lightning speed, and then pointed at Adam and said: "Thor, that guy kidnapped me, brought me here from Asgard, and snatched my stone and embedded it on his forehead!

!"

Instantly, the God of Light Thor and the Iron Demon God Stark turned their heads at the same time and looked at Adam together. ===== CHAPTER 1545 =====
