Chapter 2761: Battleworld Countdown (Part 1)

"Quiet! Everyone quiet!!!"

In an incomparably spacious conference room that simulated the cosmic environment, a figure walked in from the back door and raised his voice at the same time: "Keep quiet! Those with human forms sit on the left hand side, those without human forms go to the right hand side and float! Owen! Owen!! Come out and preside over the order!!!"

With a clatter, countless seats fell from mid-air, and a huge stage appeared in front of everyone. Under the spotlight, a figure appeared brilliantly. Owen cleared his throat and said: "Ahem, welcome everyone to—Battleworld!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed aside. Shiler walked to the podium with a rolled-up flyer, patted the microphone and said: "Ultron, distribute the flyers to the first row. Come, everyone start passing them back. Everyone take one, don't take more..."

"That Laughing Bat over there! I'm talking to you, don't take more! Just because there's no one next to you, you can't take the amount for five people. This thing is dynamic printing, the cost is very high..."

"Eternity, Eternity, watch Galactus. This thing is incompatible with the energy of your universe. If he eats it, he will have a bad stomach..."

"This... is this Thanos? Long time no see, Mr. Thanos, please pass it to your back right, thank you."

"Tony, I mean, Mr. AI Iron Man, turn your head back first, don't stare at my robot butler. Once Battleworld opens, I guarantee you will be able to dismantle more interesting information..."

"Alright, did everyone get one?" Shiler looked around. This hall was full of all kinds of monsters and ghosts, but he acted as if he didn't see them at all, just treating the group of people below as radishes and cabbage.

He patted the microphone hard, and the thumping sound made most people frown. Then he leaned forward slightly, leaned close to the microphone and said: "First of all, welcome everyone to Battleworld... Don't worry about how you came, anyway, you're here now. Thank you for cooperating with my work in your busy schedule."

Shiler shook the flyer in his hand and said: "Everyone should have seen it. Yes, the public beta version of Battleworld will open in a month. Next, I will introduce the investors of this Battleworld to everyone..."

The screen behind Shiler soon lit up, and it began to play all kinds of information about Battleworld: investors, registered capital, company legal person, management team, hardware facilities, corporate culture, glorious history...

"Stop!" Eternity shouted: "You brought us here just for your scam conference?!"

He said what everyone present was thinking. If you still couldn't see that this was another scheme set up by Shiler, you could basically say goodbye to the omniverse level for the rest of your life.

"But you spent so much effort just to bring us to a place that looks like a pyramid scheme site and lock us up to brainwash us? Do you really think we are the old men and women who rush forward when they hear there are eggs to collect?"

"Open the channel quickly and let us go back." Eternity said quite helplessly: "There are a bunch of things in the universe..."

Others also echoed: "Basically, those who can sit here are at the level of corporate presidents. In terms of the American political system, they are at least governors. Who has the time to listen to your pyramid scheme scam here?"

"We came here just because we didn't want to eat shit-flavored chocolate, but it doesn't mean we want to eat chocolate-flavored shit."

After speaking, a few turned around and were about to leave. Shiler immediately changed his face, snorted coldly, straightened up from the microphone, threw the flyer on the table, and said: "Then next, we invite the special artist Laughing Bat to share the creative details of the recently released masterpiece 'Star Core Rescue' with everyone. Applause, please!"

The Laughing Bat stepped onto the stage.

There was an uproar below. Eternity suddenly changed his tone and said righteously: "I think Battleworld is a very good cultural exchange occasion to connect the two worlds. It has investment prospects. Tell us more about who the investors are. I want to hear what's going on!"

"Yes, yes." Someone immediately agreed: "I also think the theme of this project is quite good. That guy named Owen, come, you tell us again what advantages your management team has, I'll take notes."

"Look, this is your fault, Dr. Shiler. Don't invite artists to a proper business seminar. You just said when this project was founded? A few years ago?"

"It's not just a few years ago." Someone immediately retorted: "I think your corporate culture should start from the birth of the Seventh Cosmos, but it might also be traced back to the destruction of the Sixth Cosmos. At that time, the world was in chaos..."

"Yes, yes, I have a say in this. When I opened my eyes, the universe hadn't been destroyed yet, and a meteor appeared in the sky. I looked carefully, isn't this a Battleworld portal? I think you still need to sort out your corporate history..."

Everyone below was talking at once, expressing that the Battleworld project was good. It was good because it was particularly good. Don't worry about why it was good, anyway, it was quite good, and they unanimously expressed that they might as well talk more about the details of the project's establishment, even for another 11 hours, they weren't busy.

This group of people was really afraid of Shiler's trick of driving shit to swallow wolves.

Although the process sounded a bit like a joke, Shiler really explained it seriously. These people didn't really want to listen seriously, they just didn't want to eat shit, but as they listened, they really listened.

Because this thing really has a lot to talk about. After all, it was approved by the big boss above, and after a small-scale test, it was found that the effect was good, and then it was built for a long time using various advanced means, considering all kinds of possible emergencies, and even used the Celestials as a brand-new interconnection system for administrators.

From the perspective of the real world that these existences think of, this might be the starting point for establishing communication channels between the two worlds. The opposite world is like an unknown golden coast, with countless fresh things waiting for them to discover. But if they rush over rashly, the risk is too great. Having an intermediate platform can provide them with a continuous and stable way to understand each other.

And from the perspective of comics, this means that both sides have the willingness for long-term cooperation and linkage, because after having this platform, they can publish long-term periodicals. As long as they don't have ideas, they can unite the other side to stage a "Guan Yu fights Qin Qiong," and box-stacking can finally be stacked across worlds, which can strengthen the activity of fans around the world and also provide more topics for discussion on various new media.

No matter from which angle, this is an extremely important project, and it may even determine the future direction of the two great worlds. None of the people present were stupid. After smelling such a trend, everyone gradually became serious from the initial perfunctory attitude.

Of course, Shiler was only responsible for the big framework in the front, because in fact, he didn't build this thing either. He was just an ordinary psychologist. Designing some game rules was fine, but talking about the construction of a cosmic-level framework, he still had to invite professionals.

Shiler and the Laughing Bat left the venue one after another. Shiler needed to visit the Celestials members who were recuperating here, while the Laughing Bat was going to borrow a computer to continue editing his shitty movie.

He was really stuck on this movie, because he couldn't understand why others would think such a masterpiece was directed by Shiler. This was simply an insult to him. He must add more of his own talented understanding so that others would admit that only he could direct this movie!

Greed learned a truth from the mutual torment of Pride and Bruce, that is, when facing such a stubborn person, there is no need to delve into it, just let him go.

Shiler soon came to a huge room. It looked a bit like an ancient Roman hall, with high torches burning on both sides, several tall seats placed against the wall, and a statue in the front. Two giants were sitting on two of the seats, one was taking a nap with his eyes closed, and the other seemed to be repairing a staff.

Shiler learned from them about the recent situation of the Celestials members. In general, it was not bad. When they first came here, they were indeed a bit vigilant, but later they found that this special location independent of the world could indeed suppress the deadly germs in their bodies, and after suppressing them for a period of time, they almost wouldn't recur.

And no one restricted them from leaving here, so they could work here for a period of time, and go home to work after their condition improved, and come back if they relapsed.

Considering the workload on both sides, there were usually two members stationed here, and it would become four when the public beta officially opened, which could basically meet the requirements of security and system maintenance.

And they also found that the Battleworld system that hired them didn't seem to really want them to protect anything. There were many things here that they couldn't understand, and it was even more impossible to break them. Hiring them here seemed purely for the sake of looking good, playing a role in styling.

But it had to be said that the image of the Celestials was considered more acceptable to intelligent life among most high-status existences.

First of all, they were humanoid. Although they were much taller than most humanoid creatures, their image could also be called solemn and dignified. They were one of the few images that basically didn't carry a terrifying atmosphere. Other abstract entities, including Eternity, more or less carried a mysterious sense of eeriness.

In the culture of humanoid intelligent life, giant culture also has a long history. Many giants in mythological stories are not completely evil images, and some also play the role of guardians. So the image of the Celestials is relatively close to the people, which is why Shiler chose them to act as the welcoming ambassadors of Battleworld and the maintainers of order on the surface, at least from the image, it can convince people.

Learning that the Celestials members were living well here, the last preparation process for the reopening of Battleworld was completed.

As for the omniverse-level powerhouses holding a meeting in the room, once they understood the huge value of this intermediary platform, there was no need to say more, and they would definitely cooperate.

The point Owen talked about in the meeting was actually that the main purpose of inviting everyone here wasn't really to ask them to invest anything, or rather, the investment wasn't material, but manpower, because to open the communication channel between the two worlds, there had to be participants, right?

The structure of the Marvel Universe is also a bit like the United States. The political system is a federation rather than a confederation. Basically, every multiverse has some of its own rules. The boss of this universe also has independence. The big boss only manages the rules on the surface. Each independent multiverse is equivalent to each state, managing its own affairs in many aspects.

So to get people out, these governors must agree. That kind of sneaky way of pulling people over is not only inefficient but also unsafe, and it's not good to cause some misunderstandings.

So the main purpose of this meeting was to say hello to each governor. You go back and rummage through your team, pick a few suitable people to come over and compete.

And this picking of people is also very particular. The scope of participants is limited to humanoid creatures, because many dungeons are designed for humanoid creatures. Of course, it's not impossible if you are a tentacle monster that can transform into a human form.

And there are also requirements for strength. Don't want those who are too strong. Abstract entities should not go down to the field personally; they occupy too much bandwidth. Those who are too weak won't work either. If you really bring an ordinary person who can't do anything, they will be sent back to the fountain before they lift their hands, which loses the meaning of communication.

After this meeting, most of the big shots had a bottom line in their hearts. Every universe could basically rummage out some existences who were neither strong nor weak and very idle. Letting them be the vanguard to explore other universes was the best.

A gate to a new world slowly opened before their eyes, which meant that the pattern of the omniverse that had been fixed for a long time was about to have new changes. Whoever could seize the opportunity in this wave of change would be the trendsetter who would dominate the next era. ===== CHAPTER 2762 =====
