Chapter 2121

Schiller and Adam hit it off.

He is not entirely for the official origin of his new avatar. The main reason he accepted the condition is that the universe is almost unable to hold on.

The lifespan of the universe has a limit, and the limit of the lifespan of the Marvel universe does not depend on any scientific principle, but only on one thing, that is, popularity.

Popular characters will never die. Nameless people who are put aside are no different from dead. And the highest priority is the survival of the company. If the company goes bankrupt due to poor comic sales and poor management, then all universes will be destroyed.

As explained before, if the multiverse with messy settings is not completely restarted, the decline in popularity is inevitable, and the lifespan of the universe will also be rapidly shortened.

And Schiller's activities in the universe cannot be said to have no influence at all. Not to mention his own coming and going between various universes, just the portals opened back and forth between their own universes and the central universe where Schiller is located by the Spider Army organized by Nick have already drilled the walls of the universe into a sieve.

Like some relatively remote universes, it's still okay. It's no problem for Spider-Man to come in and out. But like the main universe, which is already full of disasters, the butterfly effect caused by Schiller became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Before Schiller brought the gray fog to the main universe with the body of a Skrull, he had looked at the situation of the main universe from the outside. Those who know know this is a universe bubble, those who don't know thought a coal ball was floating here.

The main universe doesn't have some loopholes in the universe, but some universes hanging on the loopholes, and even this bit of universe can't hold on for long. Even if it is affected by Schiller, it didn't collide with the Ultimate Universe, it is estimated that it won't last long, so this big restart is imperative.

But before, Schiller opposed the restart not only because the official didn't give compensation, but mainly because this seriously limited the development of universe life.

But under Adam's explanation and Schiller's own understanding, he also understood that the repeated restarts of many universes before were precisely because there were too many bugs in the original. Some settings are contradictory, and it won't work if you don't restart, otherwise the story won't be able to proceed.

And after the big restart, most of the settings will be rewritten, and unreasonable places will also be erased, which is equivalent to changing the original shit-mountain code into more precise and efficient code. In this way, the stability of the universe will rise, and there is no need to always restart because of contradictory settings.

Here I have to mention a bottom-layer setting of the Marvel universe, that is, the "Infinite Multiverse".

That is the so-called that anyone's idea is a universe. Every thought, every decision, can derive a different branch universe. These universes are endless.

But this kind of setting was not there when the Marvel company was just established. It was also slowly developed later. And when there was no such setting, editors had to modify the settings if they wanted to put a good idea into the comics.

This led to many previous universes being modified or hard-stuffed with many settings, which is the main reason for the instability of the universe and the constant restarts.

And after the era replacement, the concept of the Infinite Multiverse will be further deepened. After that, every time an editor wants to realize his idea, he can open a branch universe, instead of harming the existing universe.

Then the creation of new publications afterward will all be opened in new universe bubbles, instead of interfering with the original universe. From a general point of view, there are still benefits.

At least the universe that has already completed the settings doesn't have to worry about being a traditional superhero with a happy family and a happy life today, and being changed into a bitter hero whose family died and had to take revenge tomorrow. After finally taking revenge, the universe restarted again.

And this kind of setting also allows more universes to have new possibilities, instead of having to copy the story of the main universe, making all heroes spin in the same set of fate.

Thus, Schiller agreed to Adam's request, but he believed that there was indeed no need to create a big event from scratch, but using the original Secret Wars set was also a bit laborious.

Because if you follow the Secret Wars line, Reed must obtain the power of the Beyonder. The Beyonder is just a fun-seeker, but Reed is purely a shit-stirrer. If Reed gets the power of the Beyonder, this Battleworld won't be able to be held.

So although you have to borrow the original story line, there is no need to engage in any universe collision. It is better to write directly along the riddled situation of the main universe, which can also lay a foundation for the origin story of Schiller's new avatar.

Adam thought about it and left it to Schiller to play freely. Hiring Schiller as an employee has one advantage: although the salary is high, not a penny is taken in vain.

Although it was left to Schiller to play freely, Adam was actually quite curious about how Schiller would do it, so he applied for a VIP spectator seat and came to the world within the ring to watch Schiller operate.

This VIP spectator seat is not for nothing. In view of the riddled situation of the main universe, Adam gave Schiller certain authority, allowing him to use the gray fog to make up for the damage and loopholes in the structure of the main universe.

Otherwise, with the precarious situation of the main universe now, no matter what Schiller does, it is carving flowers on a balloon, and there is no room for operation.

So the first thing Schiller did when he landed in the main universe was to use the nature of the gray fog to complete certain structures of the main universe with gray fog factors, which is equivalent to extending the life of the main universe.

But Schiller is not a real universe administrator after all, let alone Eternity. They are part of the universe themselves, and the gray fog also needs to learn to master how to take over the structure of the universe and exert a portion of authority within the universe.

So there was the mysterious visitor in the fog that Nick saw before wandering around the Earth. That was actually the process of the gray fog learning.

Because at the beginning, the gray fog hadn't figured out what to do, so the initial reports and interviews about the Fog Walker didn't mention the space-time chaos. At that time, the gray fog didn't dare to manipulate space-time at will, so naturally there were no eyewitness reports.

Once the gray fog adapted to the way of operating the universe, Schiller could start to perform his script. But first, he had to solve the trouble existing in this universe, that is, Bruce and Spider-Man.

This shows the difference between Schiller and Nick in dealing with problems. Schiller is a psychiatrist after all. Although he likes to do psychotherapy for others, he knows very well what is the key to solving problems.

The key is never what the third party other than them has arranged, but the communication between the two of them.

After Bruce came to this universe, he hadn't seen Spider-Man. He was unaware of the fact that he had obtained Spider-Man's abilities. Spider-Man hadn't seen Bruce either, and he didn't know that his abilities had been given to Bruce.

Then the solution is actually very simple: let the two of them meet, and let both of them know what the other has experienced, what they are facing now, and what they will obtain. To put it in the simplest words, they need to communicate.

Psychiatrists usually advise patients to communicate with the person who caused their heart knot, but they won't say it directly, because if both can communicate, they wouldn't have come to see a psychiatrist.

Since they can't see the other party, and are not responsible for the treatment of the other party, psychiatrists often encourage patients to communicate with someone else, such as changing the environment, or going to recuperate for a period of time. These are judgments made based on the patient's own interests, not based on the feelings of both parties.

But Bruce and Peter are obviously capable of communicating. Neither of them is the type who is extremely controlling or arrogant. The fact that they cannot communicate is obviously influenced by external forces.

After being a psychiatrist for a long time, you will find that objective conditions are always easier to overcome than mental problems. As long as there is no problem between two people, no distance is a distance, and no barrier is an obstacle.

So what Schiller needs to do is to pull them together and open up the conversation. As for whether they want to tell the other party that the other party will die or will obtain abilities, and whether they will eventually die or obtain abilities, it is their own business.

If you have to say there is a difference, Nick is more like standing from the perspective of Spider-Man's father. His control and protection are equal, and he will spare no effort to make things develop in a direction favorable to Spider-Man.

But Schiller has always upheld the perspective of a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is just a doctor, not anyone's father or mother. He is only responsible for the difficulties existing between them. What choices they make for their own lives is their own business.

Of course, Spider-Man still has to be saved. Apart from Schiller's personal feelings of not wanting to see Spider-Man die, he plays an important role in this play, and his death is just a beginning.

After all, someone has to take the blame for the mastermind behind the universe restart.

Peter was distracted for a moment and found himself standing in a dim space. He looked up and froze.

In front of him was a huge, indescribable machine, composed of various complex and precise parts, but connecting these parts were dense shimmering lights floating with data.

These data were not just simple numbers, but one perspective after another. This machine, as huge as a mountain, was covered with countless data, at least encompassing the perspectives of all intelligent life in several universes.

"What is this?!!!" Peter muttered to himself in a daze.

He couldn't help but take two steps forward, getting closer to the huge machine, and then saw some familiar parts in it.

Peter suddenly recalled that he had participated in a project at Stark Group before—the Universe Engine.

At that time, Schiller brought White Can to study an engine capable of pushing the universe, which was to provide a final insurance for the anti-universe collision experiment.

However, developing an engine capable of pushing the universe is not easy. Those ordinary scientists at Stark Group couldn't be counted on, so Peter also participated in the research of this project, and the design drawings of many parts passed through his hands.

Peter saw these components in this huge machine.

Is this the engine that pushes the universe?

But why did that mysterious black sun throw himself here?

The universe is about to be destroyed, the universe will be reborn, Peter repeated in his heart the words he heard from the black sun.

The universe will eventually be destroyed. Peter knew this point long ago, but what does rebirth mean? A new round of the Big Bang?

No, think from the beginning.

The other party doesn't look like a human, so you can't look at him with the eyes of a human scientist. The thinking of this kind of mysterious existence must be biased toward magic, but Peter really doesn't understand magic.

Peter racked his brains and felt that the only thing he understood a little was religious studies. After all, the environment in which he went to school from childhood to adulthood had many believers, and he had also read the Bible.

Thinking of the Bible, Peter suddenly had inspiration. How did Jesus die?

Jesus was nailed to the cross. The crucifixion is the most famous punishment in the Bible. Jesus was nailed through both palms and overlapping ankles, died on the cross, and then resurrected.

How many nails were there? One for each hand, that's two. One was nailed through the legs overlapping together, so that's three nails hitting three holes.

Peter suddenly widened his eyes. If he remembered correctly, he was shot through the body by a high-energy particle stream before, and the holes that appeared on his body were also three.

And how did the high-energy particle stream come about? Otto brought a mysterious ignition factor, and Peter had seen this factor before it was put into the high-energy physics collider. It was almost identical to the fog particles he saw in the mysterious meeting space.

So this mysterious accident was arranged by this black sun, and the purpose was to make three holes in his body.

He died because of these three holes, and then resurrected. When he stood up, the ground turned into a piece of soil with dark red mud, which corresponded to the blood field that absorbed Jesus' blood.

Did he become Jesus?
