Chapter 2762: Battleworld Countdown (Part 2)

~10 min read 1,936 words

Shiler received an unexpected visitor in his Battleworld office, and that was Peter, who came over by knocking on the door from the Time Variance Authority.

Because Shiler now holds multiple positions, or rather, Greed holds multiple positions, several offices he often appears in are interconnected. For example, Greed's room in the Tower of Thought, the office in Arkham Nursing Home, the office in S. H. I. E. L. D., the office in Battleworld, and the offices in the Time Variance Authority and Information Administration are all connected. As long as someone is looking for one office, they can be connected to the office where someone is at any time.

This also means that even if Pride is controlling the body, if there is an urgent matter, he can come directly to Greed's room in the tower to find Greed. This is also a helpless move. After all, Battleworld is a big deal. If any unexpected situation occurs, it must be guaranteed that someone can contact him at the first time.

Peter, wearing glasses, walked in and greeted Shiler. His mood seemed very good. Shiler observed him and said: "Why did you come over at this time?"

"Bringing you two pieces of good news, Doctor, one of which you absolutely wouldn't expect." Peter smiled and sat on the sofa, beckoning Shiler to come over.

Shiler didn't rush over. Peter opened the newspaper in his hand on his own and said: "Look, this is James's report. He has a high evaluation of Miles, saying that he might be the best Spider-Man ever. He is doing quite well, right?"

Shiler walked over to make coffee and said while starting the coffee machine: "You gave your ability to Miles under the influence of emotions. Then don't you plan to take the ability back?"

"Of course not, Doctor." Peter thought for a while, but he wasn't struggling with this matter, but considering the way of expression. He said: "Yes, my depressed mood at that time might have been influenced by some special mutation, but if I really didn't have this thought at all, I wouldn't have made such a decision. I might have considered this matter longer than any of you imagined, just never made up my mind."

"I can't say that the depressed mood was entirely bad. At least it helped me decide on a matter I had hesitated about for a long time. Sometimes the result of the decision isn't that important; making this decision itself is more important."

"This makes you feel relieved?"

"Yes." Peter let out a long sigh, leaned back on the sofa and said: "If it weren't for the influence of this mutation, I might have been struggling all the time. You know I'm the type of person who can't let go of any responsibility no matter what. I feel that it's my fault that I can't handle scientific research and being a superhero at the same time."

"You are the type of person who would feel guilty because your day isn't 48 hours long, and you can't make twice the social contribution as others."

"Exactly, Doctor. I know how absurd this sounds, even making me look like a mental patient, but I really seriously thought about this problem, and even went to the Time Variance Authority to consult on the possibility of extending my day to twice as long."

"So that kind of emotional mutation just made you a little more normal." Shiler poured the coffee into the cup and said: "Finally able to throw away the responsibilities you can't carry like an ordinary person."

"Yes, and now the best ending for this matter has arrived, and that is Miles is doing quite well. The responsibility and ability have fallen to someone capable of bearing it. I don't have to be exhausted and painful for this anymore."

Peter revealed a comfortable smile from the bottom of his heart. He stretched and said: "I have already brought Pikachu back. I was really too busy a while ago and couldn't take care of it at all. This time Battleworld reopens, I must bring my old partners."

"I heard you plan to team up with Spider-Men this time."

"Yes, and I heard that many superheroes plan to team up in this way, especially heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America. They can completely exert the effect of 1+1>2. What teammates can compare to another self?"

"You can just say superheroes other than Iron Man."

"No." Peter turned around, put an arm on the back of the sofa, and said somewhat mysteriously: "I heard that Iron Men also plan to cooperate. After all, the scale is so large this time, and most of them are ordinary people after taking off their armor. The dungeon is dangerous and unpredictable, and mysterious. Only by uniting their wisdom can they have a chance to compete with those naturally powerful races."

"I guess the one who thinks the same way is Loki."

"Yes, but they united too early. Ms. Loki of our universe brought many Lokis to her Asgard, and they have long been one body. But unfortunately, Thor and Hela can't coexist with their counterparts, otherwise Asgard is also a force not to be underestimated."

Shiler also couldn't imagine the scene of several Thors and several Helas staying together, especially since there might be Odin and Frigga among the participants this time. This is really "father is kind and son is filial."

Shiler made the coffee, put it down on the coffee table, but walked around to the back of the sofa.

A hand appeared on Peter's neck. Peter looked up and looked up with some doubt. Until his fingers pressed on the carotid artery, Peter still didn't have any movement, just looking straight up at Shiler from bottom to top.

Shiler sighed in his heart, thinking that Morbid was right. He really taught Peter very well. He is simply a perfect lamb, pure and flawless, with no defense.

"What's wrong? Doctor?" Peter asked.

"Nothing, I just have to make sure your new body is running normally. Death had better treat you with extra tolerance."

"She is quite tolerant of me." Peter said: "I thought she would lock me up, but in fact, she just sent me to her back garden. I heard that not everyone can go there."

"That's just because she doesn't want to touch you, because we two are too much alike." Shiler shook his head, sat opposite Peter and said: "You said there were two pieces of good news, what is the other one?"

Peter's expression brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye. He snapped his fingers and said: "You absolutely wouldn't expect it, Doctor. Gwen has recovered."

Shiler raised his eyebrows and said: "I was just about to discuss this with you. Judging from Gwen's emotional state, the possibility of her being infected by you is high. To prevent cross-infection, you had better send her to the Death Realm quickly."

"No, Doctor, I mean, Gwen was indeed infected, but she recovered."

"What happened?"

"Her mental body restarted." Peter said: "I don't know the specific principle, but in short, after the shitty movie nightmare on the first night, Gwen's spirit restarted."

"Because I knew Gwen might have the risk of being infected before, she has been wearing brain wave monitoring equipment. The instrument shows that after that night, her mental state was completely reset, and the influence brought by the infection disappeared."

"Ah?"

Shiler was somewhat blank and confused at first, but soon he remembered that his own mental body also restarted, so it wasn't strange that Gwen's mental body would restart.

"And after the mental body was restarted, that kind of strange gene pollution was stuck. So far, no further pollution has been observed." Peter said: "I suspect that after the restart, there is a subtle difference in the brain wave data between the spirit and the previous mental body, causing the pollution source that was originally adapted to the previous mental body to be unable to adapt to the latter mental body, so the emotional influence program can't work."

"Can it still be like this?" Shiler was genuinely somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it, it wasn't completely impossible. Judging from how shitty that film was, anything could happen.

"But you still have to monitor it continuously." Shiler exhorted.

"Yes, but I still plan to let Gwen go to the Death Realm." Peter said: "It's just that after her mental state doesn't deteriorate, we can take some gentler methods."

Shiler nodded to show understanding. In fact, it wasn't that he wanted to kill one by one before. If he really wanted to kill painlessly, there were methods, but the problem was that the people who were infected had bad mental states. If he notified them in advance, it was very likely that they would resist and cause other troubles. He could only take them by surprise, and most of the surprise killing methods weren't that comfortable.

If Gwen's mental state had already recovered, Peter could go and talk to her properly, so there was no need to experience the pain of death, which could be considered the best result.

"Is there still no way to screen out that kind of gene?"

"It's difficult, Doctor." Peter shook his head and didn't say much, but then he said: "However, this Battleworld is an opportunity. I plan to discuss it within the Spider-Man group first. If it really doesn't work, I'll discuss it within the Iron Man group. If it still doesn't work, I'll discuss it within the Batman group..."

"Batmen also plan to team up?"

Actually, logically speaking, Shiler should know more about Batman's situation, but in reality, Spider-Men's news is too well-informed. I don't know where they met so many people from the opposite world, but anyway, they made many good friends unknowingly.

"The few who are familiar should choose to team up." Peter clearly didn't have a reliable source of information. He said: "They don't look like the type who can't cooperate with other selves. Since the benefit of teaming up with counterparts is the greatest, they have no reason to refuse."

Then Peter looked at Shiler and said: "It doesn't matter, Doctor. Although you don't have counterparts, you have many selves. Maybe you can find a way to be certified as different participants, and then team up with yourself."

"I don't think any game will let two of me in." Shiler shook his head somewhat helplessly, but didn't directly refuse, seemingly having ideas about this proposal.

Then Peter rubbed his hands and said: "Doctor, for the sake of our good relationship, can you give me a hint? What type of dungeon is this one? I heard there are props and so on. Is there any inside information to let us first..."

"Have you played online games?"

Peter was slightly stunned. He shook his head and said: "I don't play often, only played a few online shooting games with classmates. I still prefer playing single-player action games."

"Play more online games and you'll know." Shiler hinted slightly: "By the way, it's best to play those operated by Chinese companies, the type with card drawing."

Peter was somewhat confused, but still nodded, preparing to go back and search on network software to see what the mystery was.

After Peter left, Greed returned to the Tower of Thought, knocked on the door of Pride's room and said: "I think Peter's proposal is good. If we can team up with ourselves, then..."

"Then you will never win." Pride said.

"You are too pessimistic."

"I am being pragmatic." ===== CHAPTER 2763 =====
