"What is this?!

"

A scream came from the laboratory, followed by a series of chaotic sounds of crackling. After a while, Reed rushed out of the laboratory door, but not by running on his feet, but by flying out with tentacles supporting the ground.

"My God! I became a monster octopus!

"

Soon, Otto, who was hugging his arms, also walked out of the laboratory with tentacles supporting himself. He pushed his glasses and said: "Don't make such a fuss. Think about it, you don't even need a laboratory assistant in the future. You can wash eight test tubes yourself. Don't you feel quite happy?"

"What's there to be happy about?!" Reed wailed while walking crookedly like a newborn who had just adapted to his limbs. He was about to continue screaming, but Otto impatiently picked his ears and said: "Don't howl. What is installed for you is the Stark same-version super tentacle. The value of this tentacle is millions of dollars."

"But I became a monster!

"

"Can't you use your nerves to control them to become miniature? I explained the instructions to you just now, and you didn't listen to a word!"

Reed was stunned for a moment, and then the four tentacles behind him slowly retracted inward, and then became thin tattoo-like patterns attached to his back.

Reed turned around a few times, trying his best to twist his neck to look back. Otto sighed and said unpleasantly: "Country bumpkin."

Reed stared, opened his mouth to scold, and as a result, Dr. Connors walked out of the laboratory door and said: "I recorded the whole process just now. When this thing is put into civilian use, we will make this into a negative case video textbook, let them see the ugliness of anti-intellectuals."

Reed was speechless by the two, and then he looked down at the armor on his legs. At this time, his limbs were covered with a thin layer of mechanical armor, not heavy armor, thin enough to be almost invisible, a bit like putting a layer of sunscreen on his legs and arms.

"What is this again?" Reed asked puzzled.

"Doom's power armor." Doom still said in that emotionless mechanical tone: "It can let you fly, and perform punches with 300 times the power of ordinary people, with shocking armor-piercing effects."

"Doom, you damn..."

"Doom knows that you haven't made an epoch-making armor until now, making yourself a weakling with no power to bind a chicken, but it doesn't matter, Doom can generously help you, cheer for Doom."

Reed was going crazy, and at this time Connors said again: "Two versions of healing potions are loaded in the arm armor of this armor. One is a fast-acting regeneration potion, which can quickly regenerate all organs on your body. The other is a slow-acting healing potion, which can not only repair small damage on your body, but also replenish your physical strength at a very fast speed."

"Are you mistaken?" Reed said incredulously: "You don't really intend to let me go to the front line to punch that group of insects, do you?"

"We just hope that when we are killing, you can die slowly." Banner crossed Reed standing by the wall without expression and walked towards the spaceship control room.

As other scientists went to control the spaceship, only Schiller and Doom, who came out last, followed far behind. Doom looked at Schiller and said: "Doom doesn't understand the meaning of you doing this. Even if our destructive ability is very strong, there is no need to go to the front line to waste time."

"I know what you want to say is that our value in the rear is greater, but things are not that simple."

Schiller looked left and right, and found that Peter and Banner had already gone to fly the spaceship, while Reed returned to the laboratory just now to adapt to his newly acquired equipment and abilities. There was no one else around them.

So Schiller lowered his voice and said: "That is naturally only one of the goals."

The eyebrows behind Doom's mechanical mask raised. He leaned over with interest, and the two leaned together and whispered for a long time. Finally, Doom nodded and said: "Doom thinks your choice is correct, Doom will go to prepare now."

Soon, the escort ship set sail. The Kree escort ship is not known for its speed, so it takes some time to get close to the front line of the Shi'ar Empire's Great Portal star sector. During this time, Reed is adapting to the abilities he just acquired, and Doom has been knocking and beating in another laboratory.

As the escort ship got closer and closer to the front line of the battle with the insect swarm, the scenery outside the porthole also made the human scientists who were controlling the spaceship dumbfounded. At this time, the war situation on the front line was too conservative to describe as a meat grinder.

Large-scale wars in the universe are countless times more tragic than wars on a small planet on Earth, and now both sides have entered a strategic stalemate, basically paying ten times the loss of the other side to push the front line a little bit.

For small creatures like humans, the overly vast universe is now so crowded that even a small spaceship cannot pass.

Banner looked at the picture on the radar scan with some shock. The whole scan picture was red, but that was not the background color of the radar scan, but dense obstacles.

Just what the naked eye could see, there were countless insect limbs cut and burned by energy weapons and blown to pieces by explosions blocking the way of the escort ship, and more were fragments of the Interstellar Civilization Coalition's spaceships and corpses of humanoid creatures.

Banner slowly clenched his fists. Peter hurriedly stepped forward to press his shoulders. Otto also comforted on the side: "Calm down, Dr. Banner, we all know that war is cruel, we must make all these sacrifices meaningful."

Banner slowly lowered his head, pursed his lips and said: "I have never been to the battlefield. I don't know what war is like at all. If I had known earlier... this is all my fault. I shouldn't have drunk, and I shouldn't have started the machine."

Connors smiled and said: "You will get used to it after seeing more. At least no humans died here. When you are trapped in the hell of mutual slaughter of your own kind, you will find that the war against external invading species is at least heroic and just enough."

The atmosphere in the main control room fell silent. In fact, not only Banner, but the others had never seen such a scene. They had been working in the rear, at most understanding the situation through the war scenes sent back by monitoring equipment, which was completely two feelings compared to visiting the front line in person.

After about ten minutes, Banner said while operating the spaceship: "We can't fly forward anymore. In front is the line of fire. Our spaceship doesn't have the friendly certification command. If we go over, we are likely to be affected."

At this time, Schiller walked in and said: "Just received news from the outpost that the Annihilation insect swarm is divided into at least five core fleets, led by Annihilus, Salo, and the three queens respectively. Now Annihilus is missing, and the front line is mainly the mother nest army led by the three queens as the main force."

"The closest to us now is the army of Queen Eradica. This insect queen is a capable general under Annihilus, and it is not an exaggeration to call her a confidant. At the same time, she is better at defense than her sisters, and the front-line defense is arranged airtight."

"But we must cross this line of defense and head towards the center of the universe, because Emperor Salo, whose life form is closer to Annihilus, is our target. His army is guarding near the anti-matter universe portal channel in the center of the universe, receiving the insect swarm coming to the positive matter universe."

"I can go down to open the way." Banner took the lead and proposed. He pushed his glasses with his index finger and said: "I have to take at least half the responsibility for this mess, and it's time for Hulk to do something serious."

"Connors and I can't help on such a big scene. However, I brought a few miniature sun generation devices. The insect swarm here should not have evolved very strong light resistance, maybe it will be a little useful." Otto added.

"I can go down with Dr. Banner." Peter raised his hand and said: "That group of insects can't catch me, I can find some trouble for them."

"What you said all makes sense." Schiller summarized: "But we are not going to confront them head-on. Just think of a way to sneak across the defense line."

"How about this, Hulk and Spider-Man pretend to be super individuals of the human coalition, attack the main ship where Eradica is, create a tense atmosphere of catching the thief first, and let them be busy defending."

"I will turn into gray mist to wrap the whole escort ship, find the loopholes in their defense line and sneak over. When the spaceship reaches a safe position, I will come back to pick you up."

"Can't the portal be used?" Peter asked.

"The mages must have entered the front battlefield. The portal means that the mages are best at using may have been discovered by the insect swarm. We don't know if they have any counter-methods, so it's best not to take risks."

Several people nodded, and then began to execute this plan of dividing into two ways. Hulk roared and jumped out of the spaceship, and Spider-Man followed closely. As soon as the two appeared, they attracted the attention of the insect swarm, and the chaos caused was even greater than they imagined.

No other reason, the insect queen Eradica was really scared by this group of human superheroes.

Not to mention the mages' portal that can be opened and closed like a rascal, which opened on Eradica's face several times, just the strange human superheroes with various abilities, one after another, the small ones coming and the old ones coming, were enough to make this group of insects busy.

The ability resistance evolution of the insect swarm is often aimed at a whole large army, and most species in the universe are only biased towards one ability, either like the Skrulls who are mechanically violent, or like the Mengyu tribe who rely on divine power.

The species on the normal evolution route cannot have both, because resources are limited, but humans are one person, one style.

Some control ice, some control fire, some are powerful, some fly fast, some use magic, some use machines. The insect swarm in the anti-matter universe has seen everything after developing for so many years? They really haven't seen such a fancy species as humans.

Therefore, when two strange humanoid individuals appeared on the battlefield again, the insect swarm was really focused, fearing that they would make some strange means to rush to the Queen's face again.

In just less than ten hours, this accident has happened seven or eight times. If Queen Eradica had blood pressure, she would definitely focus on evolving the blood pressure reduction function.

The insect swarm's defense line was chaotic, and Schiller took the opportunity to turn into gray mist to wrap the whole spaceship, sneaking past under the eyes of the insect swarm. The escort ship is very large compared to humans, but it is only a drop in the ocean in the whole universe, and it sneaked successfully without causing any waves.

Soon, Schiller returned to pick up Hulk and Spider-Man, and then they used the same method to cross one defense line after another. Because they operated very carefully, they did not cause large-scale vigilance for the time being.

When the escort ship approached the edge of the central super-large black hole star sector, the few people standing in front of the spaceship porthole were amazed.

"I didn't expect that the center of the universe is like this."
