Chapter 2409

The battle in Paris was going quite smoothly. The plan of avoiding the sharp edge was very suitable for the current situation. Although the Batmen of the battle group were chased and fled all over the city, it could be said that they couldn't beat them head-on at all, and even running away was a bit difficult. But the hunting group had already captured hundreds of personalities, and Moira hung them above the furnace of the machine.

White Can sent drones to the location of the machine in the aerial base to transport monitoring equipment. And after the number of personalities gathered more and more, the machine keenly captured brainwave fluctuations different from the past.

This proved that this plan was likely effective. David's consciousness hadn't completely disappeared, but was hidden in all personalities along with the separated energy. As long as enough personalities were gathered, it was possible to awaken him. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

But the Glory Alliance side wasn't so smooth. That dirty thing in the time stream was very difficult to catch by conventional means, and after deducing that this might be the conspiracy of some mastermind behind the scenes, they didn't dare to act rashly.

Originally, they could find some more powerful existences to make deals and let them catch it. At least Stark could contact Death Spider-Man and had also been to the Eternity Temple before. If this thing was really proven to be very dangerous, seeking help from these gods was also very normal.

But the problem arose if this guy was really a spare embryo sent by some powerful existence on the opposite side, then what was the way for the embryo to land? Was it contact? Or was it parasitism after being eliminated?

Because they didn't understand at all who was on the opposite side and how strong they were, in case a powerful existence sent over was parasitized instead, it would be even more troublesome. So they finally decided that it should still be caught by a part of Kang's clones plus the employees of the Time Variance Authority.

Kang's clones were infinite and not worth much, and as long as they were under the supervision of the main body, even if they were parasitized, they could be destroyed at the first moment. And the employees of the Time Variance Authority were no longer the previous time criminals, but many clones, using exactly the cloning technology that manufactured Riley, equipped with standard equipment of the Time Variance Authority, basically equivalent to infinite.

This was similar to the exhaustive method. As long as the traces of the monster could be found, a surrounding posture could be formed immediately. As for how to deal with it, after surrounding it a few times, they should be able to find a countermeasure.

But just at this time, the Time Variance Authority sent news again that there was another thing in the time stream.

This thing was much stranger than that monster. The people in the monitoring department looked back and forth everywhere, but couldn't see its figure, but every monitoring device was saying that there was something there, which made the employees unable to figure it out.

In the end, both Nick and Stark were alarmed. The two of them were busy for a long time, but still couldn't find what that thing was.

Even Stark was already in the Iron Demon God form, looked directly at the time stream, and still couldn't see anything.

Although this thing wandered in the time stream, it didn't show any harm. Everyone didn't dare to attack directly. In the end, Loki proposed a method.

"I read the materials of David's personalities you provided before, among which there is a personality called the Prophet, right? Manifested as a blue-skinned woman, she claims to know the answers to all the problems in this world, but can only ask three questions at a time. Can we find a way to ask her?"

Although this method was strange, it didn't seem impossible. Because now Moira, the boss of the X Alliance, was on their side, and everyone could see that although Moira said she wanted to destroy the personalities and use energy to patch the sky, she actually wanted to see David very much. After all, she was David's imaginary mother, and she also believed that David was her son.

Finally, Stark transmitted these words to White Can through Ultron. Of course, Ultron disguised himself as Jarvis to prevent White Can from having grudges and grievances on the spot. White Can transmitted these words to Moira through the drones sent out.

Moira found the Prophet. However, the Prophet indicated that this could only be asked by a person, not by a machine. Finally, it was decided to let the main universe Batman ask.

Batman's own power wasn't prominent among this group of demons and monsters. The effect of going up to fight wasn't great. It was better to give full play to his wisdom advantage. After all, that thing came from their universe, and Batman also had to bear a certain responsibility.

After understanding this matter, Batman drafted three questions and came to the residence where the Prophet was.

This blue female personality floated in mid-air. Before Batman could ask, the Prophet spoke: "I am David's elementary school teacher, and he was also my favorite student. After I died of liver cancer, he absorbed my soul, making me come here."

"I hope you can help him. He is not a lunatic, but a good child who cherishes friends. I am very sorry for all the destruction caused by the out-of-control personalities, but if David is still here, I think we have a chance to make up for it."

Batman nodded gently and didn't comment much. He just said: "My friends have encountered a small trouble. They need to know the true identity of an unobservable thing."

The Prophet's eyes lit up gently, obviously already prepared. She said: "You can ask me three questions, and I can guarantee that the answers to these three questions must be accurate and true."

"What is the name of the unobservable thing existing in the depths of the time stream that the Glory Alliance in this universe is looking for?"

The Prophet fell silent for a long time. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, until the light shot out from her eyes. She almost screamed out the name—"Franklin!"

With a swish, the light in her eyes completely extinguished. The Prophet looked at Batman and said: "He saw me, he is coming soon!"

Batman's movements paused. He turned his head abruptly and saw a point of light appear behind him. Then a figure emerged from the point of light. It wasn't until his figure's outline completely appeared in front of Batman that Batman discovered this was a boy.

Calling him a boy wasn't accurate either. His age looked about the same as Harley, Barry, and the others, all teenagers in junior high school, only he had a head of dazzling blonde hair and a pair of blue eyes bluer than Batman's.

He floated in mid-air and didn't seem to be wearing clothes, but the light covered most of his body, appearing very sacred. But Batman didn't give up his vigilance, just narrowed his eyes and stared at him, and asked in that habitual tone: "Who are you?"

"Franklin." A slightly hoarse voice, sounding like the very common voice of a teenager in the voice-changing period, came from the light.

"Who is Franklin?"

"I come from the future," he said: "Entrusted by someone to remind you, you can release the time ability users among David's personalities, enter the time stream, and kill the Death of the Speed Force."

Batman was slightly surprised internally, but didn't show it. But the Glory Alliance base was already exploding.

"Who is he? Why would he know these things?" Strange said: "Especially why would he know the Death of the Speed Force? What does all this have to do with him?"

Stark, however, showed a strange expression. Everyone looked at him. Stark pondered for a long time before saying: "In fact, I looked at Reed Richards a few times during the previous upgrades, but don't misunderstand, absolutely not to see the level of our future achievements or anything like that. I was just worried that he would cause some big trouble."

"Good, good, good, worthy of being Iron Man," Loki praised very perfunctorily: "You are the justice benchmark of all superheroes. Tell me what exactly happened to Reed Richards."

"Many universes' Reed married Susan. Hmm, Susan is... forget it, in short, they have a son named Franklin Richards. This child is very powerful, far beyond imagination."

"You mean this boy is actually our universe's Franklin?"

"I think it's highly likely, but it doesn't make sense," Stark said with some doubt: "Now Reed and Susan haven't been together yet, let alone married and had children. And the two of them don't look like they have a chance to spark love, so how did..."

"This is not important," Strange said: "What abilities does this Franklin have? Why would he know what we are experiencing now?"

"He can travel through time, and also predict the future... don't look at me with that kind of gaze, I said he is very strong."

"He said he was entrusted by someone. Entrusted by whom? Reed?" Strange frowned deeply, seeming to feel some disgust for the ability to predict the future.

Stark shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.

Franklin landed on the ground and soon turned into a boy wearing a common cartoon-pattern T-shirt. He looked at Batman and said: "Personalities are David's most cherished friends. If you threaten them with their lives, David will only be stimulated, thereby making more extreme actions."

White Can in the base stared at the instrument. Suddenly his face changed. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said to that side: "No, Moira, don't gather them together. Hurry and put them down. The fear emotion they are producing is qualitatively changing into another thing. That will be very terrifying..."

"Moira, Moira," White Can's voice came from mid-air. He said: "The mental space is becoming more and more unstable. What's going on? What happened on your side?"

Moira immediately reached out and put down the personalities tied together from above, but it was already too late at this time. Powerful ripples radiated from the center point. Moira flew out directly and smashed heavily onto the ground.

A pair of eyes appeared and disappeared in the energy wave, full of anger and resentment. And in the center of the gradually fading ripples, unstable energy was condensing into a huge figure, like a water monster gradually rising from the water.

Suddenly, a figure emitting light appeared above his head. Franklin suddenly spoke and said: "David, do you still remember me? I am Franklin!"

The movements of that figure paused suddenly. Franklin continued to shout: "Do you still remember that summer camp? I was late. It was you who helped me plead in front of the instructor. Later, that instructor wanted to hurt Dana and you. It was I who manipulated the branches to save you!"

The huge figure was stiff for a long time, until finally it slowly dissolved and returned to the water surface calmly. And another smaller figure emerged from the water surface.

"Why are you here? Franklin." The same teenager's voice sounded.

"I am very sorry, I lied to you, David. Actually, I wasn't a student at that summer camp. I participated in the summer camp just to find you, so I was late."

"I didn't want to show any abilities different from ordinary people in front of you at all, I just wanted to be friends with you, so I didn't peek into the future either, didn't know that the instructor dared to do such a thing, which resulted in an accident. I am very sorry."
