Chapter 1816

~10 min read 1,805 words

While Venom was squatting in the corner covering his mouth pitifully, Stark looked at the two children Shiler brought with some surprise. He looked Harley and Barry up and down and said: "I thought the reinforcements you went to move were Batman, but it turned out to be two children. What help can they be?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Shiler gave a universal answer. He looked up at the navigation map inside the Devourer Engine and said: "Go back to the Time Variance Authority first. We need to discuss the combat plan."

The former Devourer Engine was a weapon manufactured by the Avengers of the Multiverse to invade other universes, but Stark felt that it was too wasteful to turn the head of a god into a weapon.

So-called weapons, either the equivalent is large enough, or the precision is high enough, but the Devourer Engine doesn't occupy either. How powerful a light wave this thing can emit depends on how much energy is charged, and the strike precision also needs manual control. From the cost, it has no cost-effectiveness at all. Any of the three empires can take out a bunch of flat substitutes, it's just not that bluffing.

But if you use the rule characteristics brought by the god's body itself, it is a completely unique and irreplaceable sharp weapon.

Under normal circumstances, organisms within the universe need a dimensional jump device to cross dimensions, and need to build a portal to cross the universe barrier. But having this is not enough. The most difficult thing is navigation.

A civilization cannot cross to a certain universe without coordinates, but to know the universe coordinates, you must first go to that universe, but to go to that universe, you must first have coordinates. It is another typical mountain wolf skin dilemma.

But the bodies of the five gods have a natural advantage. They exist in every universe. They are the universal coordinates of every universe. Therefore, as long as they want, they can come and go between universes at any time.

So the Devourer Engine is actually a very convenient universe family car. Although it is more expensive to drive, it is equipped with a full multiverse positioning system and can lock onto a universe at any time and drive directly over.

But there are exceptions. Like these two stuck zombie universes, you can't drive the car and rush into them, because it may lead to the destruction of the universe. However, after the Watcher no longer maintains the universe cycle, the subtle symbiotic relationship between the two universes was broken, so Stark could drive the Devourer Engine and leave directly.

Stark's research on the Devourer Engine is very deep, so he turned the universal positioning contained in Galactus into visual navigation. You only need to click lightly to automatically drive towards a universe, or you can manually open the jump function and jump directly to a point.

But this convenient family car also has shortcomings, such as inheriting Galactus's good appetite, it is very expensive to refuel, and it will swallow a galaxy in one trip. And Stark didn't specifically develop its weapon function. Although the self-protection ability is very strong, except for hitting people, there is no powerful attack means.

On the way back, Helen, Eddie, Spider-Man, and others who had visited the zombie universe all went back to their rooms to sleep. Shiler and Stark took turns staring at the navigation map to avoid accidents. Barry and Harley played lively in the hall.

Not long after, Shiler also fell asleep, and then Stark. The two children quieted down, boredly lying on the experimental table looking at the experimental data.

The engine ran very smoothly and reached its destination not long after. The employees of the Time Variance Authority had never seen such a big guy and ran to the outside of the base to watch.

Shiler, who walked out, stretched, hugged Nick who welcomed him back, and said: "Your good days are coming, One-Eyed Dragon. I'm afraid the Time Variance Authority needs a bigger port. You know who to collect taxes from."

"Don't say that. I'm not a vampire from the tax bureau. However, if any of the three empires in the universe are willing to donate some resources for the base construction of the Time Variance Authority, then we are naturally happy to give a little help when they encounter time problems, absolutely compliant, within a reasonable range, you know."

Shiler gave Nick a thumbs up. Stark walked up and said unhappily: "You must have known that Shiler was going to trick me into another universe, and you didn't call me in advance! I will let Pepper cancel the donation to S. H. I. E. L. D. next quarter when I go back!"

"Stop talking, Dad." Helen stretched and yawned, walking out sleepily and saying: "Even if you cancel the donation, the expenditure for the next quarter will not decrease. You have to pay Dr. Shiler 20% more medical expenses."

Stark turned and picked her up, pinched her face, and said unhappily: "Then who is to blame for this? Do you know that this future is all your property?"

Helen rolled her eyes slightly and said: "Jarvis is right. You are not good at business at all, Tony. Is there a possibility that the less property, the less tax? I invest 20% of the medical expenses at the end of each quarter, and Dr. Shiler donates 15% of it to me at the beginning of the quarter. Can this money save at least 175% of tax every year?"

Nick spread his hands before Stark's murderous gaze came over: "Don't look at me, I didn't teach her... Come here, baby, does New Jersey have a law against hiring child labor?"

At this time, Shiler came to Eddie's side. Eddie smiled at him and said: "The helper you found is really strong. Venom said his tongue was almost pulled off."

"During the time in Gotham, didn't it teach him not to scare people casually?" Shiler shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about this first. I have a plan that needs your help..."

A group of people came to the office of the Time Variance Authority. Spider-Man said goodbye to everyone. His universe, which was snapped by Thanos and resurrected, still had a pile of messes waiting for him to deal with. He really couldn't rest assured, so he left in a hurry through the portal of the Time Variance Authority.

Taking advantage of the time when Stark went back to rest, three of the four villains gathered together sneakily. Obviously, a brand new plan was about to be released.

After Stark woke up, he found that quite a few people had come to the Time Variance Authority.

Seeing Natasha was boredly braiding Harley's hair. Thor and Loki were surrounding Barry listening to him talk about the situation in another universe. Captain America and Bucky were led by Shiler to visit the conference room of the Time Variance Authority. Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Dr. Banner were filming the huge Devourer Engine parked in the port of the Time Variance Authority.

"Hey, Tony, long time no see." T'Challa walked over with a smile and bumped Tony's shoulder with his fist. Tony yawned, moved his shoulders left and right, and said: "What's wrong? Why are people here so complete?"

"Nick said he had a plan, so he got us all here. Originally, Reed and Pym wanted to come, but the experimental progress really couldn't be finished, so it was just us."

"Mr. Stark, I sent you a message on the Spider APP, why didn't you reply to me?" Spider-Man also leaned over. Stark found at a glance that this was Peter from his universe, so he said: "Maybe I made a mistake. I thought you were another Peter."

"Alright, don't be sad, kid. I will set you as my special attention Spider-Man. Of course, it's not that I didn't want to do this before, I just can't use your APP."

"What is this for?" Stark spread his hands and walked to Nick, saying: "Avengers party?"

"Speaking of which, how long have you not taken an annual leave?" Nick looked around at the people around him, and everyone looked at Nick with an expression of "How can you even ask".

"S. H. I. E. L. D. decided to have a collective employee trip, visiting several parallel universes, mainly for visiting, supplemented by experience. Who wants to participate?"

Everyone walked out one after another.

"Hey, don't be like this!" Nick knocked on the table and said: "Give some face, say you can't wait!"

Loki stretched out a hand and looked back and said: "God knows where you want to sell us. This trick is enough once."

"Alright, superheroes, now several parallel universes have encountered trouble and need your great compassion to save them. Who is willing to come?"

Everyone's footsteps stopped.

"No, Nick, you can't do this." Shiler stood up and said to Nick: "Tomorrow is the day for the psychological assessment of superheroes. If they go on a long-distance trip, they will miss this assessment. I believe they are all very concerned about their mental health..."

With a "whoosh", a black shadow flashed behind Nick, pressed his shoulders and turned him around, shook Nick's hand with both hands, and shook it up and down vigorously.

Seeing Natasha looked at Nick and said: "Travel is the best way to relax and move your bones. I can't wait to go on a long-distance trip with so many good partners. Hurry up and send the car, Director, I can't wait!"

"Yes, Nick, we urgently need such a team-building activity to enhance cohesion." Dr. Banner's head was almost nodding into afterimages, and he said: "Everyone here is the hope of humanity. It is very beneficial to interact and communicate more."

Thor looked at Shiler, then at Nick, then at Shiler, and stepped slightly to the left in the same step as Loki, standing behind Nick.

And Nick turned to look at Shiler and said: "How can the Avengers team-building be without the doctor? Shiler, psychological assessment or something, let's talk about it after coming back."

"But there was no assessment last month, this time it can't be..."

"I am the S. H. I. E. L. D. Director, I have the final say. Accepting psychological checks every day is not a good thing. Come on, friends, get high! Tony, step on the accelerator to the end, let's go!"

The carnival dance music sounded, the lights flashing above the hall of the Devourer Engine flickered continuously, and when the superheroes raised their glasses and touched them, the foam was reflected into colorful colors under the lights.

And in a piece of empty universe, the huge engine transformed from the head of Galactus outputted maximum power, moving towards a flicker in the vast universe.
