Chapter 2381: Mental Assault (End)

~9 min read 1,747 words

Schiller was in his office, looking with some helplessness at the group of people sprawled out in disarray.

"We've tried every method," Charles said. "But the abilities of those mutants are too unsolvable, and they even coordinate with each other. It's a good thing they can't reach the real world, otherwise, everything would be over."

"Dr. Schiller, we really need to think of a way seriously," Wanda said, clutching her stomach. "If they really reach the real world, the disaster caused will be devastating."

"They are stronger than any enemy I have ever seen," Riley said.

"Alright, you've all worked hard these past few days. There are empty single rooms in the inpatient department; go get some rest. Leave the subsequent work to us."

Schiller was flipping through a thick stack of documents. These were the intelligence gathered over the past few days by the mental assault team composed of young superheroes who repeatedly entered Legion's mental world.

"I'm not tired; I think I can still hold on," Charles said. "As a participant, I think I should at least have the right to witness the resolution of the matter."

"I'm not very reassured either," Wanda said. "I must ensure this guy won't really enter the real world; I can't let him affect my future life."

"Even if you gave me a vacation, I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep," Riley said. "Spider-Man is making an emergency plan for this, and I have to go to a meeting. After all, if a disaster really breaks out, it certainly won't just affect our universe."

"Fine, then you can wait here for a while."

"I heard the outpost base of the Glory Alliance has already been set up?" Charles asked.

Just as Schiller was about to nod, Jarvis rushed over in a flurry and said, "The circuit connection has been debugged. If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to see the surveillance footage very soon."

Schiller nodded. Just then, his Battleworld communication rang frantically. He had no choice but to bid farewell to everyone in the room and go to another room to answer the call.

The moment the call connected, Ultron's scream came from the other side: "Dr. Schiller! A conspiracy!! A big conspiracy!! Someone is causing trouble!!!!"

"Calm down, tell me in detail," Schiller sat in his chair, crossed his legs, and said unhurriedly, "Start from the beginning."

Ultron didn't use the inefficient method of speaking at all; he sent Schiller an information packet directly, naturally accompanied by some explanation.

He first briefly explained what he had done in this universe, and the focus was on the result.

Ultron really didn't expect that Batman, who knew something about Superman, would charge directly into Superman's mental space. According to his analysis of Battleworld image data, Batman usually wouldn't be this reckless.

But since he was already there, Ultron wouldn't let this opportunity go. This was Batman, and a ready-made Batman who looked like he had lost his mind. If he could absorb his mental body, wouldn't he be able to finish the skill tree on the intelligence side in one go?

It just so happened that the powerful Superman also found this monster that looked like Batman unpleasant, increasing the pressure within the mental space. He only needed to focus on cracking and absorbing, so Ultron began to gradually crack the controlled evil Batman mental body.

His goal was originally Batman's intelligence, but after dissecting this guy, Ultron discovered something was wrong. This thing only contained a small amount of Batman; the vast majority was a mass of unknown substance, like a large mass of energy controlled by some brainwave.

Ultron didn't know what this was; he thought it was a dll file that came with Batman. exe, so he also began to crack it.

This cracking led to trouble. This guy came with a data packet inside. After decoding it, it turned out to be a conspiracy plan that linked several universes.

According to what Ultron read, the universe he was currently in was the last stop for this mass of energy controlled by brainwaves. The previous universes had Batman and Flash, Batwoman, Batman and Ares at war, Batman and Superman breaking up, and Batman who became a Green Lantern.

The memory and data at the very beginning of this thing were damaged, so the source couldn't be seen. In the first recorded universe, it lurked in some test machine and witnessed the dispute between Batman and Flash with its own eyes.

In short, this thing used its own energy to change the results of a certain test. Ultron didn't quite understand the professional parts, but in short, it looked like a test of time matrix theory, possibly testing how time jumps could be performed and whether past events could be changed through time jumps.

Ultron had come into contact with the Time Variance Authority; he knew this thing was a paradox. The huge energy required for time jumps would cause the universe to suffer energy deficits and be destroyed even if the target one wanted to bring back was successfully brought back, causing both to die together.

But this strange substance seemed to give Batman a definite answer. It tampered with the experimental results and told Batman that it would definitely succeed. Ultron saw the keyword "Speed Force" in it; he guessed that this thing told Batman through the experimental results that as long as there was a certain thing, he could succeed.

Sure enough, Batman and Flash argued. Flash denied the conclusion, but Batman didn't believe it.

Very good, perfectly utilizing Batman's mental weakness, Ultron thought. Batman had always, forever, and incorrigibly believed in his own experimental results more.

The later parts left Ultron stunned. Batman actually tied Flash to a treadmill, and then tied him to a car and crashed him into the Speed Force. Now it was good, the two merged together under the stirring of the Speed Force, and the Flash-Batman was born.

In the next universe, this guy hid in a meteorite and simultaneously changed the nature of the meteorite with its own energy, turning part of the meteorite into a metal with strange properties.

Ultron didn't quite understand the specific principle, but in short, the power would be amplified through this metal, but at the same time, the amplified power would be tainted with the properties of this strange substance's energy. In any case, it certainly wasn't a good property; it would twist the minds of living beings, making them more irritable and aggressive.

This meteorite split into two after entering the atmosphere. One piece fell into the seabed and became a component of the Atlantis energy hub, and the energy and tainted properties within it spread throughout Atlantis through energy pipes.

And the other piece fell to Egypt and eventually fell into Batman's hands, becoming a core component of some transformation machine.

Then the tainted Atlanteans became more aggressive, and the Queen was also affected, believing that Batman had gone mad and would threaten Atlantis sooner or later, so she had to lead an army to negotiate with Batman.

The third stop of this thing was the God Realm of a certain universe. It also turned itself into a piece of meteorite iron and fell into the hands of a god good at forging, and was later obtained by Ares.

This universe was at war for years, and Batman believed it was related to Ares. A great war broke out between the two sides. Although Batman was a mortal, he still put enough pressure on Ares, so he cast this metal into a helmet.

Although this helmet could amplify a person's power, it would also taint a person's mind. After Ares put it on, he almost completely lost his mind. Finally, Wonder Woman defeated Ares, and the helmet fell into Batman's hands again.

And in the next universe, this guy's target became Superman. Similarly, a meteorite hit the inside of the Fortress of Solitude. Superman didn't find the metal in it and just put it away as a decoration.

This mass of energy kept tainting Superman's mind until he began to go to extremes. Batman couldn't accept Superman's actions, so he refined the Doomsday virus from a long time ago and injected it into his own body.

In the last universe, this mass of energy hid in a Green Lantern ring. It tainted all the power in this Green Lantern ring, causing the Batman who obtained this power to also suffer from mental taint, becoming extremely twisted and evil.

Looking at this series of plans, it's not hard to see that the properties of this mass of energy are very fixed. It carries dark evil attributes itself, and at the same time has a special attack bonus for the mind, making it easy to taint the minds of intelligent life.

But the problem is, besides this mass of energy, there is also an extremely strange radio wave. Because Ultron's essential life form is also a radio wave, he didn't dare to crack this thing, fearing that he would also be tainted.

He didn't even dare to upload the energy and radio waves to the Battleworld channel, but after adding various protections and compression, he brought this package back to Schiller's Tower of Thought himself.

"I really thank you." On the first floor of the Tower of Thought, Schiller put his hands on his hips and looked at Ultron, saying, "Knowing that this thing is a bomb, you still rushed to send it to me. You really are my good butler."

"If this thing really is a bomb, I'm afraid only you can dismantle it." Ultron sighed and said, "If you really can't dismantle it, just throw it down the hole. In any case, it can't be more dangerous than that pile of things at the bottom."

"I thank you on their behalf." Schiller said while beginning to circle around and examine this light sphere that had been encrypted with countless layers.

Although he was mentally prepared, when the last layer of compression was undone and that mass of black-red energy and a big mouth full of sharp teeth appeared before his eyes, Schiller still couldn't help but cover his forehead.

But soon, Schiller discovered that there were other things in this mass of energy. As the black energy dissipated, something emerged—
