Chapter 2408

With a swish, Strange's figure reappeared in the Glory Alliance base. Obviously, he had just finished reminding Nick, but his face was heavy when he came back.

"There is something in the time stream," Strange said: "Nick just monitored his figure and is now organizing the manpower of the Time Variance Authority to capture him, but that thing is very strange."

"How strange?" Stark didn't realize the severity of the problem and said: "Is it another so-called time criminal?"

"Not at all," Strange said: "It is not a carbon-based life form like us, not even an intelligent life form. It looks more like a strange rule construct. This is also the main reason why Nick has been catching it for a long time and hasn't caught it yet."

The room fell silent. Everyone stared at Strange. Stark also sat up straight and said: "Is the harm of this thing great?"

"It is a threat to all time travelers," Strange said: "It seems that once a person's speed and frequency of traveling through the time stream reach a certain level, it will appear behind them and kill them."

Professor X opened his eyes slightly and said: "Are you saying it is something like a natural disaster? Will it sanction users of a certain ability?"

"That's what Nick said," Strange looked up at the screen. The battle had already broken out in Paris. Now the Spider-Men were facing that huge spider, fighting until smoke and dust were flying and the sky was dark.

"Can Nick catch it?" Stark's voice hadn't even fallen when he judged from Strange's face that this matter was probably a bit difficult.

"Nick himself is not a user of time ability, and those employees of the Time Variance Authority are only traveling through time through machines. They can only see the monster, but can't touch it."

"What about Kang?" Loki proposed, "When all timelines are unified into the Sacred Timeline, Kang should have become a true time ability user."

"Nick is trying to contact him... oh, they have contacted," Strange frowned and looked at his phone and said: "Kang said he has never seen this thing either, and hasn't seen it in any timeline. He suspects this is not a native species of our universe."

"You wouldn't want to say it came from the universe opposite, right?" Loki also knew the situation of the opposite universe like the back of his hand. He said: "But it's not surprising, that place produces some strange things."

"What to do now? Can Kang beat it?" Stark said.

"I think it's very hanging," Strange shook his head and said: "Kang's control over the timeline is control, but this alien object is not within his control range, and he doesn't have enough attack power to defeat the opponent in one blow."

The news soon came. Kang did catch up with that monster, or to be precise, that monster caught up with him. Kang intended to sneak attack and injured the monster with one punch, but it ran away.

"It's too fast," Kang's voice came from the communicator, "I think if I can fully control it, I should be able to kill it, but its way of moving in the time stream is beyond anyone's imagination. It's more like a kind of instant movement."

"Instant movement in time?"

"Yes, a kind of time jump ability. Although I can also use this ability, the speed is slower than it. Now the only way to catch it is for me to split into countless clones, conduct a wide search in the time stream, and finally adopt a surrounding method to eliminate it."

"But I can't guarantee that these clones will be completely controllable," Kang said: "Just like the situation before, they might split into countless mes, and then attack each other."

"No, don't do that," Loki said: "This monster existing in the time stream only threatens time and speed ability users, but if your clones stir up waves again, I fear it will threaten many people."

At this time, Professor X also received a call. The opposite was obviously Magneto's voice. After hanging up the phone, Professor X pulled Magneto in.

"Someone is hunting Quicksilver," Magneto said: "Injured him and almost made him lose his life."

Although it seemed he just wanted to come and understand the situation, the tone sounded like he was coming to question the crime. Stark was already very annoyed, and hearing this tone, he was about to explode on the spot. Fortunately, Loki stopped him.

"We also have people injured," Loki said from the perspective of the Time Variance Authority: "A monster is comprehensively hunting time and speed ability users. Currently, it is not known where it came from. We are trying to find a way to eliminate it."

"I think it must be as soon as possible," Magneto said: "I can exceed the speed of light by turning into a magnetic field. Will it appear behind me?"

"Don't try it easily," Professor X said: "If you can't kill it in one blow, it might make it harder to catch."

At this time, Stark found that Ultron sent a lot of data. He clicked it and took a look, and the more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.

Now on the screen, the Batmen had successfully lured out the three strongest super personalities. Batwoman was using her Spear of the Water God to contain the Fire Man, Doomsday Batman was fighting the sumo wrestler hand-to-hand, and the Batmen of the hunting group were also acting very smoothly. Those super personalities sensed what they were doing, but couldn't provide support at the first moment because of interference.

Stark had to project all the materials to the other side of the screen, and what was displayed on it was exactly the Flash's materials, which also included the experiences of the Flash of many universes.

"Death of the Speed Force?" Loki read the name with some doubt. He said: "But our universe has no Speed Force."

"This shows that there is a similar concept in our universe, which is not strange," Stark explained: "If time is also a kind of rule, and the Creator who created this world allows ordinary people to understand it in a simpler way, then a similar concept must be formulated, allowing some creatures that are not rule creatures to travel through it."

"Considering the similarities between these two universes, this is not impossible," Strange said: "I even suspect that the universes on both our sides have the same Creator. He just copied and pasted the parameters of the universe, changed the names of all the files, and it became two different universes. In fact, it is still the same in essence."

"But from the Flash's materials, he is not a person who doesn't know the severity," Professor X spoke for the Flash, because he could understand him. Professor X continued: "From his performance, although he has an obsession with the death of his parents, he is still a good person with justice in his heart, and can stick to the bottom line in the vast majority of cases."

"Yes, but what about this one?" Stark projected another red figure onto the screen, but this time there were two pointed ears on his head.

After reading his materials, everyone fell silent. This Batman, who would even go to the extreme of killing his good friend for the death of his parents, was really hard to make people believe that he wouldn't do the thing of deliberately sending a monster to another universe.

"Ultron said he is sober now, but we still have to maintain necessary suspicion," Stark stroked the communicator on his arm and said: "And the bad consequences he brought have already been irreversible. We have to find a way to deal with this monster now."

"Wait a minute," Loki, who had been a conspirator for who knows how many years, immediately spoke up: "Remember? This group of Batmen is actually just a product of another conspiracy. Behind them also hides a mastermind."

"You mean the person who polluted them," Strange said. He obviously had also heard this superstitious story, and also heard it from Ultron.

Loki nodded and said: "Don't you think it's strange? This person has the heart and the ability, polluting so many Batmen. Does his plan only stop at finishing polluting them?"

"What did he pollute them for? What purpose did he want to achieve by using them? Where is the final landing point of his plan?"

The room fell silent. Obviously, everyone was immersed in thinking. Stark shook his head and said with some doubt: "You wouldn't want to say that his goal is our universe, right?"

"It's not impossible," Loki stood up, started pacing in front of the screen and said: "Look, the existence of Battleworld is not a secret between our universe and their universe's multiverse, because many superheroes have already participated."

"Let's assume this mastermind is not that kind of old antique who squats in deep mountains and old forests for millions of years without showing his face and insists on destroying the universe, but some superhero who has become evil like these Batmen, then he will definitely notice Battleworld."

"He will know that there is a system that allows him to travel between the two universes. For a strategist, this is simply great news, because he has more space to maneuver."

Loki lowered his head as if recalling and said: "If I were a lunatic who wanted to destroy the universe—yes, I once was, but I am not now, so I can think about it more empathetically."

"I know the destruction of the universe is an inevitable fate, and I don't need to go to another universe to survive, but on the way to the destruction of the universe, I must fight with many people, so I must make all preparations."

"Putting all my preparations in this universe is unrealistic, because I am also active in this universe. I will make a lot of noise and attract a lot of attention. Once they pay attention to me, the preparations I made might be discovered by them and thus become invalid."

"But if I, in a clever way, send some keys in the plan and preparations for life-saving to another universe, I can make a strategic transfer when the universe destruction plan is not going smoothly, be reborn in another universe, and be able to accumulate power again."

"We know that traveling between these two universes in a normal way is not so easy, but if I learn at this time that there is a magical system that allows all uploaders to easily pass through portals to travel between various universes, could it be that I would have no ideas?"

Strange fell silent for a moment, because Loki's empathetic analysis was really reasonable. The people present were also smart people. They could think that if there was indeed a genius lunatic making trouble on the opposite side, and he learned about the Battleworld system, he couldn't not set this side as the target of his strategic base. This was beneficial and harmless to him.

"Assuming that coveting our universe is the final purpose of the other party's plan to pollute Batmen, then this monster hidden in the Speed Force brought in by Flash Batman is definitely not an accident. His body must hide the other party's secret."

"Find a way to catch him!" Stark couldn't sit still and said: "If the other party's plan is even so huge that it needs two universes to accommodate it, and he succeeded in putting this into practice, it shows that he is evil enough and powerful enough."

"Then what about Schiller?" Professor X raised a key question, "What role does he play in this plan? Will he really be completely unaware and have no response preparations?"

One hand picked up the teacup, the wisps of smoke rising above the teacup climbed onto the lenses of his glasses. Schiller took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, took a sip of hot tea, and lay back on the comfortable office chair.

"How long exactly did the Doctor chase the Batman Who Laughs?" Schiller whispered to himself: "Chased him until he wanted to lay an egg here."
