Chapter 2120

Peter heard Him say.

"The universe is about to be destroyed."

Peter opened his mouth, but didn't reveal a very surprised expression. After hesitating for a while, he sighed with a complex expression and said: "I know."

What he didn't tell Bruce was that after the high-energy physics collider started, in the gap of the high-energy particle stream jetting in that instant, Peter obtained a transcendent perspective.

He saw the universe as a huge server, and the configuration files of various universes were telling that their lifespan was about to reach its end.

"You know something, right?" Peter looked up at the huge black sun and said: "You don't belong here, you are an outsider, so you can see everything."

"The space-time chaos of the mysterious space in the thick fog is not accidental." Peter took a deep breath and said with courage: "I know it is already riddled with holes. This is a sign that it is about to collapse, and you utilized this sign."

The black sun hung silently in mid-air, its mysterious patterns constantly rotating. Peter wanted to read knowledge from it, but there was always a thin mist lingering in his heart, making him unable to see the full picture.

And that heart that wanted to see through the truth and read the secrets made Peter feel an instinctive coldness, as if this curiosity, which couldn't be more natural, was pushing him toward death.

"Thank you for saving me." Peter lowered his head and said: "Although I was already prepared for death, no one really wants to die. And all good things in this world have to pay a price. What do you want me to do?"

"Go destroy it, and then wait for it to be reborn."

At this instant, the magnificent and strange particle stream within the black sun constituted one mysterious pattern after another, and countless knowledge was poured into Peter's brain, making him understand the truth of all this.

The universe is indeed about to be destroyed, but it also should be destroyed.

After Peter's figure left, Schiller's figure appeared on the empty island in the thick fog. This is exactly the world within the ring that the gray fog gave him, but following closely behind was another figure, that is Adam.

But this is not the warlock Adam who wanted to speedrun before; this is the true Living Tribunal Adam.

Adam actually came much later than imagined. Schiller thought he would come to the door when the Battleworld opened. Unexpectedly, the Battleworld was almost tested to the official version before he came.

Of course, he came here also for some matters of Battleworld communication, but there was a more important thing—the universe should be restarted.

Note, this is not one or two universes restarting, or rather, calling it a restart is not quite accurate. It should be called the era replacement of Marvel.

In the Marvel main publication, to pick up where we left off, the Beyonder slapped his forehead and created a game of universe collision.

The universe collision still happened inevitably. Countless universes were destroyed in the collision, and in the end, only 24 remained.

But the result was even worse. The collision didn't stop at all. After all universes collided in pairs, only the last two remained: one is the main universe 616, and one is the Ultimate Universe 1610.

All superheroes resisted desperately, but the two universes still couldn't escape the fate of being destroyed in the collision.

Finally, God Emperor Doom used the power of the Beyonder to establish Battleworld. Heroes fought in Battleworld, and Reed obtained all the power of the Beyonder within the Molecule Man, restarting the multiverse.

From then on, Marvel entered a brand new era.

So is this really just another bad job created by Marvel editors?

Actually, it's not. The Secret Wars event can be considered a quite good event in terms of quality. Although it was slightly dragging in the middle, this ending of destruction and rebirth is worthy of all kinds of heroes coming out, and the plot is ups and downs, which cannot be considered a tiger's head and a snake's tail.

And this kind of plot design is obviously not something thought of in a moment of heat. Its most important purpose is to let everything return to its original appearance.

As everyone knows, Marvel comics have developed for many years, experiencing the havoc of various main publication editors, personal publication editors, and tie-in publication editors. Various superheroes and world basic settings cannot be said to be rigorous and complete, but can only be said to be full of loopholes.

Some characters are one way in the hands of one editor, and become another way when changed to another editor. The background story is written and overturned, and overturned and rewritten. Even loyal fans of Marvel are full of question marks, and new readers don't even know where to start.

If you want to start watching from personal publications, what changes happened to this character in the middle? Originally, it participated in the story of the main publication, but if you don't watch the main publication, you can't understand it.

If you want to watch the main publication, there is really a lot to make up for. Moreover, the level of Marvel event design is really uneven. Some stories can be called stinky and long. If you hold your nose and watch, you feel uncomfortable. If you don't watch, you are afraid you won't understand the settings.

All the settings piled together over the years can be said to be difficult to return. There is no way to adjust and straighten them out, so it is becoming more and more difficult for new readers to enter the pit, and fresh blood is becoming less and less.

The contradictions in character settings and worldview settings also led to old fans being divided into several factions. Some stack boxes, some find loopholes, and fan output and fan influence expansion are declining year by year.

So the overall restart of the Marvel universe is imperative. Only by setting a universal worldview setting from the beginning and straightening out the background stories of all heroes can new readers be able to watch at any time when they pick up a comic, without having to be like Nüwa patching the sky, having to read all the past comics to understand the settings.

So there was the Secret Wars event.

It can be said that this event was basically prepared for this large-scale restart. The overall plot design can be said to be the dumplings wrapped for this bit of vinegar. Finally, it logically blew up all the previous universes and reset them after the restart.

But now there is a problem: Schiller kidnapped the Beyonder.

Schiller's psychotherapy successfully kidnapped the Beyonder into another type of fun-seeker. People don't watch universe collisions anymore; people went to run a beast arena.

The so-called prodigal son returns, but the prodigal son Beyonder ran away. What about restarting the universe?

Of course, it's not impossible to rewrite an event. Changing the dumplings is still possible to dip in this vinegar, but this is too laborious. Anyway, the filling and the skin are still there, just wrap it in another way.

So these administrators of Marvel discussed it and felt that the dumplings couldn't be wrapped, and buns would do. But in order to prevent being stirred up again, specifically being stirred up by Schiller, they decided to let Schiller join directly.

As long as Schiller is recruited as a company employee, wouldn't it be unnecessary to give compensation for the restart?

Then some people might ask, if Schiller is recruited as a company employee, wouldn't he have to be paid? Compensation is temporary, and salary is long-term. Isn't it more cost-effective to give compensation?

But this account is not calculated this way.

Schiller is a player. When he wants compensation, he won't ask for it alone. He will pull others to ask for it together. And today he pulls these people, tomorrow he pulls those people, making everyone finally feel that asking for compensation is reasonable.

And the compensation everyone wants is different. Forces like the Earth where Schiller is located mostly want more energy. Some Earths want technology, and some Earths want safety. If compensation is issued in a targeted manner like this, then the universe administrator doesn't have to do anything, just transfer to a courier specializing in delivering compensation.

But if Schiller is turned into an employee, then he can be paid alone. It's called salary, but it's actually hush money. Anyway, apart from you, no one knows that the universe restart was done by us. You shut your mouth, and everyone will make a fortune together.

Schiller has been tossing in the universe for so long. It can't be said that everyone loves him, but it can only be said that wherever he goes, it explodes. And the reason is that he is neither seeking wealth nor seeking perfection. He is a pure fun-seeker. He only does three things when he comes to a universe: watch fireworks, watch fireworks, or watch fireworks.

And it just so happens that Adam, the Living Tribunal, who has been paying attention to Schiller's movements, discovered that Schiller has encountered some difficulties recently because there are too few avatars, and he is almost out of fun to watch.

This is a great time for negotiation, because they have what Schiller wants most right now.

As everyone knows, Schiller has no background story in Marvel. Originally, because he didn't want to be anchored to the Book of Destiny of DC, the Superego used the energy of the system to transfer Schiller to Marvel.

His identity as a psychiatrist in Marvel is actually fabricated by the system at will.

But it's not that the Superego didn't want to fabricate a character similar to a superhero, but outsiders have no authority. The background stories of Marvel superheroes can only be written by universe administrators.

So the Superego only fabricated an identity of an ordinary person without a background story. If it weren't for Tony's bad state at the time, and Pepper seeking medical advice blindly, finding the most idle psychiatrist, Schiller would have to spend some effort if he wanted to participate in the superhero story with this identity.

This also led to a problem, that is, Schiller has no origin story, and no counterparts. So in the end, everyone knew that there was a psychiatrist named Schiller making trouble behind the scenes, and there was only one Schiller. Just go around him when you see him.

Now it's not so simple for Schiller to change avatars. Most universes that have heard of Schiller are strictly guarding against psychiatrists, just like what Nick did before. Don't worry about where something happened, just catch the psychiatrist and that's it.

This led to Schiller not wanting to participate in any work similar to a psychiatrist, or even a doctor, or even a scholar or professor with a temperament similar to his previous identity.

You say you are not Schiller, what evidence do you have? Why should I believe you are not Schiller? Even if you are not Schiller, it is better to guard against Schiller, catch all those who look like Schiller first.

This led to a great increase in the difficulty of Schiller changing avatars. And Adam seized the opportunity and offered Schiller a condition he couldn't refuse.

As long as Schiller helps them complete this era replacement universe restart, they will use the authority of the universe administrator to write an official origin for Schiller's new avatar.

They will guarantee that this official origin is complete and detailed, and the ecological niche and combat power are not bad. Most importantly, they guarantee that it has nothing to do with the original Schiller.
