Facing Schiller's explanation, the others looked at each other; Otto touched his chin, rolled his eyes, and said: "In that case, if we go to other universes to get a few more Reeds and throw them into the anti-matter universe, wouldn't the anti-matter universe explode faster?"

Peter gasped, turned his head and glared at Otto; at this time, Doom also echoed: "Doom thinks you are right; Doom thinks every Reed Richards in every universe should contribute to cosmic safety."

But Schiller shook his head and said: "Throw one Reed in; even if he can blow up the anti-matter universe, he probably only has half a life left; but if you throw a group of Reeds in, the anti-matter universe explodes, and they run out intact, wouldn't the positive matter universe also suffer?"

Otto thought about it and felt that this was indeed the truth; a disaster of Reed's level is already a great misfortune for the universe; if a group is really brought over, it's hard to say whether it's blowing up the enemy or blowing up oneself.

Otto waved his mechanical arm to drag Salo from the ground; Peter grabbed Salo's leg, and the two worked together to drag this insect emperor into the laboratory of the escort ship.

Schiller originally wanted to follow in, because he was also a bit curious about the body structure of the insect swarm, but he was stunned when he stood at the door, and then frowned.

The other few people were busy fiddling with fresh experimental products, and no one found his abnormality; only Peter, who was familiar with Schiller, immediately put down the work in his hand, looked at Schiller with a worried face and said: "Doctor, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

Schiller coughed lightly, revealed a smile and said: "No, nothing; didn't I drag the soul of this insect emperor into the spiritual world?"

As soon as this was said, the few people in the room became nervous, including Doom; Banner looked serious and pushed his glasses and said: "Why, is he making trouble in your spiritual world? It doesn't matter, let us go in to deal with him."

Schiller really couldn't help but laugh out loud; he forcibly suppressed his laughter, looked at the few people and said: "I might have forgotten to tell you; I am currently receiving long-term psychological treatment from Professor X."

Instantly, the worry on the faces of the others turned into sympathy, and then they turned their heads to do whatever they were doing.

Schiller found a chair by the door and sat down, sinking his thoughts into the Hall of Thought; indeed, some chaos had occurred here just now.

Schiller used crazy wine to drag Salo's soul into his spiritual world; Salo is a humanoid insect swarm; all humanoid individuals in the Annihilation Wave look similar to humans, except that they have wings on their backs and their skin colors are different.

Their overall body size is slightly larger than humans, with an average height of about two to three meters, but the bone structure is not more robust than humans, and some even retain the joint structure of the insect swarm in their hands and legs, appearing more slender; if you don't look carefully, you would think it's a human.

So, Schiller didn't look carefully when he dragged Salo's soul into his spiritual world, because most of the life he encountered before had souls and appearances that looked exactly the same.

But this Salo happened to be an exception; although he was very similar to the human appearance, his soul was a huge bug, which had similarities with the giant bug they saw on the planet; the main body presented a shuttle shape that was thick at one end and thin at the other, with a total of six long legs, covered with red spots, looking very terrifying.

When Salo waved his front two legs and lay on top of the Tower of Thought looking in, many Schillers active in the corridor were startled; the first to bear the brunt was Jormungandr, who was sleeping curled up on the top of the tower.

This big snake completely forgot that he was actually a monster too; he turned his head and saw such a big bug lying next to him and was startled, almost falling from the top of the building; and his second reaction after being scared silly was to bite it.

Looking at Jormungandr from the perspective of the universe, he was just an unknown monster in a remote dimension of the universe, but unfortunately, the area he was in was the most famous monster room in the Nine Realms universe.

There is more than one pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes in this small Nine Realms; the country has talented people generation after generation, each leading the style for hundreds of years; even in the comic world, the combat power here is ridiculously rolled; although Jormungandr can't be ranked here, if he were born in other regions, he would be a dimension lord at least.

Jormungandr took this bite, and Salo hadn't even reacted before one of his legs was bitten off, letting out a high-pitched scream.

Other Schillers were standing in the corridor watching the fun; they were actually very used to all kinds of monsters appearing near their home, especially when Greed went to work, he liked to pick up all kinds of strange things and bring them home, and then throw them in the house and ignore them.

Other Schillers were like the family members of every fishing old man; no matter what they were holding when Greed came back, they wouldn't feel surprised.

But at this moment, there was an outsider in the tower, and that was Professor X, who was preparing to conduct long-term treatment for Schiller; he was currently checking the part of Schiller's memory that was open to him in Greed's room, and formulating a treatment plan based on this.

Hearing a scream, he thought something had happened in the tower, and hurriedly ran out of the room; as a result, as soon as he looked up, he saw a terrifying bug and a big snake fighting.

Where had Professor X seen this scene? And that bug was clearly the Annihilation Wave insect swarm that caused heavy losses to the Interstellar Civilization Coalition on the battlefield; Charles had only one thought at the time—who brought the devils here??!

Professor X thought Schiller's thinking space had been invaded; he was like facing a great enemy on the spot, instantly floating to the sky above the Tower of Thought and exerting all his abilities; a thinking storm stirred both monsters in; a big slap fanned Salo two kilometers away.

"Spare the bug! Spare the bug, Professor!

!"

Greed's voice came from the top floor of the Tower of Thought; Greed hurriedly ran out of the elevator, stretched out a hand and shouted at Professor X above the high tower: "Misunderstanding! Professor Charles, this is an ingredient I picked up!"

Charles turned his head to look at Schiller; seeing Charles's appearance at this time, Greed was also stunned; Charles was no longer the old bald image, but restored to youth, and the most eye-catching thing was those pair of deep blue eyes.

Seeing Greed's expression, Charles also reacted; he coughed lightly and restored his past image, floated to the corridor and said: "To exert all my abilities, I need to restore my soul state in my prime..."

"Sorry, Professor, I didn't expect this thing to be so big, and it scared you." Greed revealed an apologetic smile at Charles.

"You just said you brought him back to be an ingredient?" Charles frowned, revealing a confused expression and said: "Schiller, although when soul energy is strong to a certain extent, one can devour other people's souls to enhance one's own strength, this is very likely to pollute one's own soul, especially devouring other races."

"Once the soul is polluted and has attributes that cannot be compatible with other human bodies, one must abandon the flesh and become a pure energy creature like a demon god; this is not a good thing, so I don't allow any other souls to enter my body."

"Oh, you misunderstood, Professor." Greed hurriedly explained, and he said: "It's not for me to cook."

Schiller pointed at Jormungandr on his head, then pointed down at Khonshu, who was looking up at the bottom corridor with a falcon head, and then patted the gray fog floating beside him, and said: "It's for them to make cat food."

Charles looked at Schiller dumbfoundedly and said: "You raised so many monsters in your spiritual world, and you still have to go find other monsters to feed them?!"

"Raising pets is good for physical and mental health." Schiller shrugged lightly and said: "To some extent, this can also be considered psychological common sense."

Charles looked at the pets in Schiller's mouth speechlessly, especially that big snake, drooling and rushing toward Salo, who had been fainted by Charles; just by looking at the familiar movements, he knew it hadn't eaten less often.

Greed and Charles walked side by side in the corridor; Schiller said: "I haven't taken less commission from the transactions with the cosmic demon gods, but I raised a few big eaters at home, and I can't afford to raise them just by relying on that little salary."

After speaking, Greed reached out and stroked the gray fog floating beside him; the gray fog hummed happily, rubbed Schiller's arm forcefully, and Greed spread his hands and said: "I'm not like someone who only remembers his good partner when he needs him; the food source for this whole family, the expansion project of the high tower, energy reserves, etc., are all my responsibility."

"So that's why you are so greedy?" Charles turned his head to look at him and asked.

"Life forces me." Schiller replied in a relaxed tone.

Charles looked at this matter from the perspective of a professional psychologist; he walked and thought and said: "We usually think that human desires are driven by many aspects; there are hunger and thirst from physical instincts, and desires from hobbies shaped by acquired personality, and these are naturally occurring greed, which is healthy."

"And some more pathological greed often comes from a compensatory psychology produced by long-term unsatisfied cravings and suppressed desires; for example, children who were relatively poor in childhood and had their material desires suppressed relatively severely may show revengeful consumption after growing up; this is a result of the rebound of desire suppression."

"From this, it can be seen that the part of the memory about your family situation that you didn't open to me shouldn't be very beautiful; at least there were definitely no conditions for you to raise pets, or perhaps the personal items you could control and the private space you could have were not many."

"Possessing and controlling something is the most basic source of human security; to some extent, infants constantly attracting parents through crying is also a form of their possessing and controlling parents to seek security."

"And if this part of desire is suppressed for a long time and still cannot obtain security from possession and control, it will trigger a strong desire for possession and control of resources in the future, manifested as hoarding things even if they don't need them, or even stuffing many resources that others don't need to others."

"All this is just to prove that they already have the ability to possess enough materials, and have the power to freely distribute the things they possess to others, rather than just listening to fate and waiting for distribution."

"And this situation of waiting for distribution usually appears in places with fewer resources and more children like orphanages; children there are also more likely to show such symptoms after adulthood."

"Several small mutants from orphanages adopted in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters are more competitive, like to grab toys, grab books, grab everything they can get their hands on and keep, even at the cost of resorting to violence."

"But that's not because their personalities are bad, just because in the environment where they grew up before, if they didn't grab, they might starve or be beaten."

Charles stopped his steps, turned his head to look at Schiller and said: "Dr. Schiller, it seems that your childhood was not happy, but you became an extremely excellent psychologist; this is simply a miracle."

"If you don't mind, can you tell me this legendary story?"
