Chapter 2758: Star Core Rescue (Part 55)

A terrible disaster occurred in the multiverse within the scope of the Marvel omniverse.

The Laughing Bat, who had sneaked into Marvel by unknown means, used a conspiracy to steal the dream authority of Doctor Strange with the Power of Dreams, and played a movie in the entire omniverse through dreams—the 11-hour masterpiece "Star Core Rescue."

That's right, not 7 hours, but 11 hours. This wasn't the version Eddie initially edited according to Shiler's requirements, but a version produced after the Laughing Bat got the videotape and modified, deleted, added, and re-directed it.

To what extent did the lethality of this version reach? Let's put it this way: after one night, players in the Eastern major country began to collectively log into major platforms to brush good reviews for "Three Kingdoms Kill," calling it a historical masterpiece of game balance. Western players flocked to various websites to like "Overwatch 2," calling it a cultural heritage with excellent operational strategies.

Of course, more ordinary people who didn't play anything could only feel endless mental impact from this pile of earth-shattering giant shit. This impact could even make Greed crash, let alone other ordinary people whose mental strength was not as good as his.

A terrifying night passed. When everyone woke up in the morning, they didn't seem to have woken up from a dream, but rather like returning from the dead.

And after people were a little more awake, they confirmed with the people close to them or netizens they usually chatted with, and found that the other party had also had the same dream. Then they knew that this wasn't some sudden whim of their own brains, a super shitty movie pieced together at will, but a shitty movie that someone had deliberately filmed and released.

What followed was an endless wave of bad reviews.

No matter which video platform or website, as long as there was a discussion function, the bottom would all become curses about this terrible shitty movie. Even the most humorous netizens and bloggers couldn't say those teasing evaluations at this time. Everyone was cursing very purely.

And the targets of the release weren't just Earth, but all living beings in the entire universe who could dream were forced to watch a whole movie in their dreams. And you weren't allowed to fall asleep halfway, weren't allowed to leave your sight, and weren't allowed to just exit and not watch. No matter how shitty it was, you had to endure the whole 11 hours. The whole shitty movie seemed to have been poured into the brain, and you couldn't forget it.

Thus, the wave of bad reviews swept the entire universe, and it was every single universe, every multiverse composed of single universes, every plural multiverse composed of multiverses, until it spread to the entire omniverse.

By the evening, this movie had basically received a 99% bad review rate. As for why it wasn't 100%, it could only be said that there were still some people with unique tastes in such a big universe. Although the vast majority of them were also stubborn, only contributing their share to the 1% of good reviews just to show that their taste was different, they still contributed their part.

But the doomsday for the good review group arrived at 10:00 PM. Most of the intelligent beings who closed their eyes and went to bed during this time saw a familiar figure again—Robbins riding a bicycle and whistling past.

The movie started playing again.

And then another long 11 hours passed. The whole scene could be described as "Fan Damingbai enters the mental hospital—the doctor is crazy."

The wails rose one after another at the same time in the morning. Everyone lay on the bed, life-weary, and couldn't even think of more vicious language to curse this terrible nightmare.

This nightmare wouldn't cause any real mental loss to people. Its principle was the same as ordinary dreaming, and it wouldn't cause any harm to people's bodies. Although 11 hours had passed in the dream, the time consumed in the real world varied, mainly depending on the thinking speed of different people. Species with faster thinking speeds might only need 10 minutes to finish these 11 hours. For humans, whose thinking speed is average, it takes about 4-5 hours, which just happens to fit the deep sleep time humans need.

That is to say, whether mentally or physically, this thing couldn't cause substantial harm. So the only problem was that this film was just too shitty.

On the first day, people still had the mood to curse on various short video media. On the second day, some people began to panic. Could it be that it would come every day after this?!

And everyone who woke up on the third day and found that the dream was still there was completely broken. Government departments finally couldn't sit idly by and began to take various means to appease the public and stop the panic.

But because this thing couldn't cause any harm, the vast majority of people had no research on dreams, so they didn't know how to stop it at all. Everyone just had the dream of this shitty movie over and over again every night.

You really can't say that. Nick's crisis drill was used, wasn't it? The rescue of the Star Core Space Station hadn't ended long ago, and people hadn't even had time to withdraw from the UN General Assembly Hall before they started researching how to end this terrible shitty movie nightmare on the spot.

Humanity's current technology and magic level hadn't reached the level of being able to fully understand the principles of human subconscious and dreams, so they were basically helpless.

The Sorcerer Supreme knew of the existence of the Nightmare Dimension, but Nightmare was different from other Demon Lords. It was difficult to contact him in a normal way, and since this happened, the Nightmare Dimension had no movement, and Strange couldn't find the existence of this dimension either.

Stark had also studied brain science, but unfortunately, controlling the dreams of the Marvel world required authority. It didn't mean that you could control dreams by researching the relationship between subconscious and dreams with science. Stealing authority required special methods; otherwise, the Laughing Bat wouldn't have needed to use the "luring the tiger away from the mountain" tactic to pull Doctor Strange with the Power of Dreams away.

So after discussing back and forth, solving this shitty movie nightmare from the root was not very possible.

But the good thing was that dreams are not a necessity for humans. Since all dreams have been turned into shitty movie nightmares, let's just not dream at all.

The plan discussed by various countries was for brain science laboratories of various countries to take the lead in technical cooperation, first researching drugs that can keep people awake for a long time, letting the most important group of scientists get rid of the shitty movie universe first, and then using this group of scientists to research things that completely block dreams. Let's just all not dream together.

This line of thinking of humanity is also the line of thinking of the vast majority of civilizations in the universe, because almost all civilizations don't have the authority to control dreams, so they can only start from the terminal. Since you can't change the universe, then change yourself—I won't dream anymore.

Humanity's technical level isn't very good, and it will take years to research it out, but there are many humanoid civilizations with very advanced technology. They can easily produce refreshing drugs that can keep you awake for months or even years. Stark borrowed this technology through good relationships with various civilizations, spent about a week improving it, and basically produced refreshing agents without side effects.

Although the output is relatively small, at least it can be used by the first batch of researchers. After the researchers get rid of the shitty movie nightmare, they can find ways to put it into mass production.

There are also many underdeveloped civilizations, like the human civilization, troubled by the shitty movie nightmare, but unable to quickly come up with countermeasures.

Shiler, with the help of the information flow of AI Iron Man that spread across various multiverses, acted as a go-between and established a technological version of the Sanctum Sanctorum, the "Cosmic Information Administration," to help various civilizations in the universe obtain technology that can suppress the shitty movie nightmare as quickly as possible.

In exchange, AI Iron Man can obtain various rule samples from these universes for dismantling and analysis. Of course, generally speaking, cosmic abstract entities wouldn't agree, because even if this information isn't unique and can be regenerated, it's not something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can take away.

But now it's a special situation for special treatment. That's right, these abstract entities also experienced the shitty movie nightmare. I don't know how many universes' Eternity learned to vomit for the first time.

AI Iron Man was very satisfied with this transaction. Shiler found that this special Iron Man seemed to have a hoarding habit. Many pieces of information were useless after being dismantled, and couldn't be used by him to optimize himself, but he just wanted to dismantle and analyze them, and then store them uniformly, like a hamster that had eaten its fill and still wanted to stuff its cheeks full.

In this disaster, various civilizations in the universe were unprecedentedly united. There had never been such a mutually helpful, harmonious, and loving scene in the universe. Under the threat of the shitty movie nightmare, civilizations that had been fighting ding-dong recently stopped, and races with century-old blood feuds put down their grudges.

Actually, logically speaking, this disaster should only happen to species that dream and cannot control whether they dream or not. The scale of the disaster shouldn't be this big, because not every species is as weak as humans. Many mechanical civilizations stopped dreaming millions of years ago.

But the Laughing Bat not only felt good about himself, but he also did things very thoroughly. He not only stole the authority of the dream world, but also used the same method as Shiler's previous plan, which was information intrusion, directly using technical means to push the underlying protocols of mechanical civilizations, and wrote this entire shitty movie into the code.

Thus, mechanical civilizations suffered even worse. The entire operation logic of the civilization became a shitty movie. Closing eyes is "Robbins gets the invisibility cloak," opening eyes is "Mysterio fights the elemental monster."

The first to suffer were, of course, the Skrulls and Kree. Their level of mechanization is very high, especially the Supreme Intelligence. This time it was really capped. In the whole universe, he watched it the most times, and the entire code structure had symptoms of collapse.

In desperation, the Skrulls and Kree, who had the hatred of a thousand-year war, sent letters to greet each other and launched deep technical cooperation. In order to speed up the flow of technology, the Shi'ar Empire also took the initiative to lower the cost of using large portals. The three major empires established an anti-shitty movie alliance and stood together, putting aside their past grudges.

Just like that, this divine shit by the Laughing Bat promoted the greatest change in the universe in millions of years. ===== CHAPTER 2759 =====
