Chapter 1864: Shiler Has Disappeared Again (Part 2)
As the saying goes, people's subjective initiative cannot be underestimated, and Shiler's subjective initiative goes without saying.
In the past, when Shiler caused trouble, although the ending often promoted human development or benefited his friends, seeking fun was Shiler's instinct, and it couldn't be considered very proactive.
But this time it was different. For example, scientific achievements always appeared in clusters. Either geniuses of all kinds competed in a hundred years, and a certain field experienced explosive growth, or there was no movement at all, as if all scientists were slacking off.
On one hand, it was limited by the era background; on the other hand, geniuses would also be inspired by other geniuses in the same field, thereby generating more inspiration. Even more, they regarded other geniuses of the same era as opponents and had to compete with them, which was the so-called "pressure creates motivation."
In the past, Greed had no pressure in terms of academics at all. Others were either ignorant and pushed by him, or were causing trouble with him. Although like-minded friends were good and helpers who progressed together were also good, in the final analysis, he had no opponents in this world.
Another saying goes, heretics are more hateful than pagans. Shiler's friends were either "day-to-day people," such as superheroes, or "profit-seekers," such as Nick and Loki. There were almost no people who purely looked for fun like him.
The Beyonder was a pure fun-seeker, but if his fun point was different from Shiler's and he didn't want Shiler to have fun, then Shiler had to find a way to make him not have fun.
The motivation claimed by the doctrine was much more sufficient than the progress of human civilization, the development of Earth's technology, or polishing figurines. Shiler's subjective initiative was directly pulled to the full. He didn't stay on Earth for two hours after returning and directly went on a business trip to catch the Molecule Man.
The Molecule Man was also a product of "combat power stacking." From the setting, it was quite outrageous, but Shiler wasn't a superhero, so why talk about martial arts with the other party? Just sneak attack and be done with it. What's more, in the vast majority of universes, the Molecule Man was also an intelligent life form that could be reasoned with, which was Shiler's area of expertise.
The Molecule Men of different multiverses looked about the same because they were originally products on an assembly line, but the one in the main universe was slightly special and had a role in the subsequent Secret Wars.
His name was Owen Reece. He previously worked for an atomic company and possessed relatively serious psychological problems. When repairing an atomic device for the company, he was bombarded, opening a pinhole in his body that spanned countless universes, allowing him to glimpse the true face of the Beyonder.
After this accident, Owen discovered that he possessed the ability to control molecules, so he called himself the Molecule Man.
Of course, like the vast majority of superheroes, Owen's childhood was relatively unfortunate. Before becoming the Molecule Man, he grew up in a single-parent family, his childhood was not happy, and he had also been bullied in high school.
Later in the comics, his main opponent was the Fantastic Four, and most importantly, his girlfriend was also named Marsha.
Shiler, who knew Owen's background, had already conducted an investigation on Earth, but he didn't find a person named Owen Reece. It seemed that in this universe, the Molecule Man appeared out of thin air and had no background.
This led to the fact that except for one eyewitness evidence, there were no other clues, and Shiler could only follow the last traces.
But Greed almost never entered the field himself and rarely did detective work. His way of finding people was still to borrow force to strike force, layout and control, and finally achieve a win-win.
For example, in which area of the interstellar society there were clues, he would establish an identity for himself and go to the door. After gaining status, he would use his connections to investigate clues extensively, confirm them further, and then repeat the above process.
Facts proved that Greed full of energy was very terrifying. In just half a month, there were more than 60 royal succession struggles, more than 40 party usurpations, more than 20 popular uprisings, and more than 10 personal assassinations around the Ring Star Zone.
This number was not much in the interstellar society, but it couldn't be helped that the economic civilizations around the Ring Star Zone, the political and cultural center, were all old-fashioned developed civilizations. They were the group with the most say in the interstellar society. Although they couldn't compare with the three major empires, their combined power couldn't be underestimated.
In order to catch the Molecule Man, the force Shiler borrowed to strike force was them.
Shiler's method of borrowing force naturally didn't need to be said. Regardless of whether you were constitutional monarchy, people's republic, feudal dictatorship, or communist developed, stir if you can, and be as chaotic as possible.
Others were carpet searches, but Shiler was directly dismantling the carpet. Although he was fast at winding yarn balls, he was also fast at dismantling yarn balls. Regardless of whether it was royal power struggle, party power struggle, family infighting, or harem disputes, as long as it was targeted by Shiler, in just a few rounds, he would figure out the interest entanglements clearly.
To gain status, one must first create a power vacuum. The best way to clear a piece of open space in a dense forest is to cut down the trees, and the most labor-saving way to cut trees is to set a fire.
Shiler had been fanning the flames and setting fires everywhere these days, causing countless contradictions and immeasurable infighting. In just over ten days, the most important political and cultural center of the economic society had become a mess.
Shiler left too hurriedly and didn't say hello to anyone on Earth. Half a month passed, and others realized that Shiler had disappeared. Now the fun was big.
Nick picked up the phone and shouted at the other side: "Why did it take half a month for people to disappear before thinking of looking for them? What are the agents doing? I've said how many times, report immediately if you don't show up in three days!"
Just after he put down the phone, Seeing Natasha pushed the door and poked her head in and said: "When I went, Spider-Man and Pikachu were playing games. They both said they didn't know anything, and I think they were telling the truth."
Nick rubbed his throbbing head and said: "Didn't Shiler just cause a big event? Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any movement in a short time. Why has he disappeared again?"
"Coulson is guarding the nursing home. Once Dr. Shiler returns, he will report immediately. I'll go to the Stark Group's laboratory again."
"Go, I hope Tony knows where he went."
When Seeing Natasha was flying on the separate shuttle platform of the Stark laboratory, she saw Stark bending over to check the camera data, and she knew it was definitely hopeless. Stark had only just discovered that Shiler had disappeared.
But she still walked in. Before she could speak, Stark hugged his arms and looked at Seeing Natasha and said: "Stalking people is an agent's job. Do you intend to count on me? What was said at the meeting before? Isn't it supposed to be reported if you disappear for three days?"
"Almost everyone is busy studying the data Loki got from Infinity Ultron, especially the so-called Beyonders. This news is too shocking. Nick needs to be extremely careful when studying it."
"Don't look at me with that kind of look either." Seeing Natasha sighed and said: "Alright, you can think you will watch Shiler. After all, you are not his only Iron Man now."
Stark rolled his eyes slightly and said: "I thought Nick would watch Shiler. He was the only one who didn't get any benefits from this plan, so he must be keeping a close eye on the next plan."
The two looked at each other, speechless. How could they not watch him?
In fact, ever since Shiler disappeared last time and gave them a big job, the various parties had gathered together for several meetings. The main content of the meeting was to keep a close eye on Shiler to prevent him from silently doing another big job that would make people's hearts explode.
That's right, these parties included S. H. I. E. L. D., Stark Group, Mutants, Spider Army, Asgard, Sanctum Sanctorum, and gods like Eternity and Death. They agreed to supervise Shiler in turns. Within three days at the longest, if they lost Shiler's specific whereabouts, they would notify each other and search everywhere.
But everyone also knew that this was an ideal situation, so they also agreed that if they hadn't found him after the time limit, they would notify each other and prepare early to prevent Shiler from sneaking behind them and kicking them into a pit.
This "Watch Shiler Alliance" stumbled in its first practice. Stark and Nick both thought the other would watch, Charles went to the Andromeda Galaxy recently, the Spider Army was busy earning credits, and Eternity and Death had no concept of time. The result was that they only discovered Shiler had disappeared after half a month.
But everyone also knew that half a month had passed, so it wasn't just a matter of being kicked into a pit. Shiler had probably already dug the Mariana Trench.
Finding him within three days, at least they could ask for the cause and effect. Finding his whereabouts within five days, they could still carry out protective excavation. Even if they determined his specific location in about a week, they could carry out humanitarian rescue.
But half a month? Disperse and do whatever you want.
Stark and Nick searched around on Earth and didn't find him, so they knew Shiler must have left Earth, which made it even more impossible to fill the pit. Anyway, the trench wasn't dug on Earth, let him go.
Thus, the two called various forces according to the alliance agreement, the general idea being: Shiler is lost, it was too late when we discovered it, but we have fulfilled the notification obligation. If you are involved in natural and man-made disasters, it is your own lack of defense, don't come to us.
Not to mention Eternity, who was about to go on a business trip, Death was knowing for the first time what it meant to be "angry" when hearing this news. If she were a human, there would already be blisters on her lips.
Death hurriedly looked at where Shiler was. It was over, he was in this universe. Looking again, it was even more over, surrounded by dead people. Finally looking again, it was completely over, he was still among the dead.
Death found Adam to ask for leave with lightning speed, packed up, didn't even want the Kingdom of Death, picked up her bag and went on a "say-go-go" trip overnight.
However, she was also decent. Before leaving, she notified Oblivion. Oblivion was sleeping in a daze, and a shock woke him up. It was just like every college student who had a whim in the middle of the night: youth has no price, hard seat direct to LS, and left overnight.
Eternity, who had just been working overtime until his head was dizzy some time ago, almost vomited blood when he saw it. The typhoon came and everyone ran away, leaving me alone to work overtime in the company. Is this bullying a silly boy?
He counted the annual leave and overtime compensatory leave in his hand, barely managed to make up a decent vacation, and left after handing in a leave note to Adam.
The remaining Adam was dumbfounded. The programmers have all left, what about the server?
Of course, he could also maintain it, but Adam also had bitterness in his heart. He knew that the emergency maintenance action purely out of responsibility last time was likely to have offended Shiler. What if Shiler was coming for him this time?
Besides, Shiler also had a sense of proportion. He had caused trouble so many times, at most he messed up some documents, but he hadn't destroyed the server. The server was made of iron, not tofu. It should be fine to not look at it for two days.
Adam hesitated for a while and decided to follow his inner longing for freedom. After packing up, he also slipped away.
Having said that, Shiler was looking for the Molecule Man, and the Molecule Man was actually looking for people too.
But after searching around, he discovered a phenomenon that puzzled him: this universe seemed to have no five great gods of the universe. ===== CHAPTER 1865 =====
