Chapter 3103
Hearing this name, Schiller remembered that there was an important character in this universe who hadn't appeared yet.
The High Evolutionary in the comics is very strong and can create ecosystems by hand, similar to the Marvel version of Dr. Manhattan.
However, as everyone knows, Marvel settings are settings, and performance is another matter. Magneto also once said in the comics that he could create the universe, but he still had to eat losses when he should, and the High Evolutionary is about the same.
His outstanding performance in the comics is not much. He contributed a little when fighting Ultron. Another is that the invincible Galactus fell again.
The High Evolutionary made a virtual Earth and evolved a complete ecosystem in just a few minutes, and then was discovered by Galactus. Galactus, who wanted to eat a delicious snack, did not succeed, which confirmed the fact that the High Evolutionary is stronger than Galactus.
However, in fact, the High Evolutionary is not a cosmic abstract entity. He was originally a human and a scientist who graduated from Oxford University. Because his experimental theory was not tolerated by his peers, he found a place to conduct research himself and then upgraded himself. Later, he also set up a knight order and manufactured a planet for his knight order.
Anyway, this person doesn't appear much and acts as a background board in most cases. If it weren't for suddenly popping up this time, Schiller would have almost forgotten such a person.
"Then why did he hire you to do these things?" Schiller asked.
Otter Lylla shook her head. She said, "I don't know. I'm just a bounty hunter, taking money to do things. I can know so much because the employer has a loose mouth, otherwise I wouldn't be able to figure it out."
But Rocket Raccoon knows his old lover very well. He stood aside with his arms crossed, his tail whipped the ground, and then said, "You'd better be sensible, Lylla. I'm not joking with you. You'd better explain things clearly while Dr. Schiller still has some patience, otherwise I can't save you either."
The otter turned to look at Schiller again, but looked left and right and didn't see anything special about this human. And at this time, Rocket Raccoon pursued the victory and said, "I don't think money alone is enough for you to provoke mutants. Did that High Evolutionary tell you something?"
Lylla was not surprised either. She curled her lips and rubbed her cheeks with her hands, saying, "You don't know how we were transformed back then. Do you really think a robot serving in a mental hospital has such great ability to transform all the pets and small animals of the patients into robots? Where did this technology come from?"
Rocket Raccoon walked in front of her, frowned slightly, and said, "Wasn't it those doctors? It was they who instructed the robots to transform us."
"Then where did their technology come from?"
"This shouldn't be a very difficult technology," Rocket Raccoon said. "There are many advanced civilizations that have experience in transforming organisms."
"Yes, but didn't you find that we are exceptionally strong?" Lylla also took two steps forward, looked into Rocket Raccoon's eyes, and said, "Over the years, I have traveled to every corner of the universe and have never found any transformed creature as smart and powerful as us. Don't you think this is very strange?"
Rocket Raccoon lowered his eyes and shook his head lightly, saying, "Things have passed for so long, what is the point of pursuing these things?"
"Of course there is. Do you think the group of people who rushed into the mental hospital back then were aimed at your little master?"
"Isn't it?" Mentioning Rocket Raccoon's former little master, he showed obvious irritability and continued, "I told you long ago that they would definitely come to silence us. We should have prepared early, but you..."
"I did lie to you," Lylla said. "I let you write the underlying protocol of the robot carrying the secret agreement into your body to lure away the pursuers so that I could escape. But I knew they couldn't catch up with you."
Rocket Raccoon looked at Lylla with some puzzled eyes, but it wasn't to ask why she thought so, but didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned this matter again.
Schiller, who had been listening for a long time, also figured out the general idea.
When he first met Rocket Raccoon, he heard him talk about his story. Summarized, he was just an ordinary raccoon in the Halfworld mental hospital and a pet of a little girl named Angelina.
Then suddenly one day, a star next to the Halfworld mental hospital exploded. The radiation produced made the robots responsible for taking care of patients in the mental hospital awaken self-awareness and didn't want to work anymore, so they moved to transform these small animals into mechanical animals to let them take care of patients.
Originally, this would have been fine, but not long after, the mental hospital was continuously dropped with failed experimental products. After a group of lunatics came in, it caused a war. Most of the doctors and patients died or fled. Rocket Raccoon's little master and the doctor who took care of them should have died in this disaster.
Rocket Raccoon killed a robot that transformed them and wrote his underlying protocol into his own underlying protocol. That protocol actually has something to do with the Shi'ar Empire's treasure, the M'Kraan Crystal.
Now that Lylla came, Schiller knew the whole story. At that time, it was very likely that Rocket Raccoon did not voluntarily write the underlying protocol into himself. It might have been Lylla who lied to him, with the purpose of letting some pursuers staring at this protocol chase Rocket Raccoon, so that she could escape.
This can be said to be wanting to kill Rocket Raccoon, but listening to his tone, although there is a bit of complaint, there is no resentment. Schiller doesn't think it's really because he is love-brained.
Sure enough, Lylla sighed and said, "I admit that I was sorry for you at that time. I sincerely apologize to you, but one of us must take that plan away, and the other..."
Rocket Raccoon spread his two claws, brought his moist nose to Lylla's eyes, and then said, "It's been so long, it's time to face reality, Lylla. Dr. Dulakar has already..."
"Do you really think I had to take the doctor's body away because I cared about old feelings?"
Rocket Raccoon was stunned for a moment, then sighed lightly and said, "You are still like this, Lylla, always hard-mouthed and soft-hearted."
"Perhaps, but it's not entirely like that. You should think about where that agreement came from?"
Rocket Raccoon looked at Schiller. He remembered that they had analyzed it together at that time. Although there was a signature of the Shi'ar Empire on this agreement, it was still that sentence. No one would write their name under the bad thing when doing bad things. This thing might be framed by the other two major empires.
But because it involved the crystal at that time, it was not discussed in detail. But Lylla said so, as if she knew some inside story.
"It was done by the Skrull Empire," Lylla said. "I knew it when we hadn't left the mental hospital. Guess how I knew?"
"Since you know the truth, say it! Don't let me guess!" Rocket Raccoon became very irritable. Obviously, he guessed something.
"Dr. Dulakar told me," Lylla sighed and said. "Your little master's identity is special. For so many years, they have never given up on hunting her down. Halfworld has also suffered many disasters because of this. Dr. Dulakar has been secretly protecting her until that crazy disaster."
"So what?"
"Your little master could no longer escape. She herself, Dr. Dulakar, and I all knew this. She had nowhere to go and was bound to die. But this doesn't mean we have nothing to do."
Rocket turned his head and looked at her with some doubt. He said, "Aren't you going to take revenge for them?"
Lylla looked at him.
Well, her enemies were almost dead. Rocket Raccoon had to admit that the old Skrull Empire didn't exist anymore, so what revenge is there to talk about?
But Lylla shook her head again and continued: "Finding specific people to take revenge has no meaning. Too much time has passed. Most of those people also died in the coup. However, the political achievements they left behind must be eliminated."
"You mean..."
"Cosmic Life Fusion Plan."
"It was created by the Skrull Empire? But there are very obvious magic traces of the Shi'ar Empire on those machines..."
Speaking of this, Rocket Raccoon remembered that Schiller had actually told him that this matter might not be completely unrelated to the Shi'ar Empire.
As everyone knows, the three major empires are all doing some invisible things, privately engaging in some evil experiments, hoping to defeat the other party through an arms race.
The group of crazy experimental products that entered the mental hospital and triggered the war might have been created by the Shi'ar Empire, but this does not mean that the other two major empires did not do such things, just that they were not bumped into by Rocket Raccoon.
The Cosmic Life Fusion Plan was signed with the name of the Shi'ar Empire at the bottom, but in the case that this might be a frame-up, it is very likely that it was created by the other two major empires.
If you haven't done something yourself, how can you frame others?
"Well, I have a few questions," Rocket Raccoon said. "The first one, was this plan created by the old Skrull Empire?"
Lylla nodded and said, "You could say that."
"Well, why did they want to do this?" This is the question Rocket Raccoon doesn't understand the most. He said, "I remember the old Skrull Empire was also a mechanical civilization. Why did they fuse cosmic life?"
"Don't forget, at that time their civilization was almost at the end," Lylla said. "In the chaos at the end of the empire, anything could happen."
Rocket Raccoon was still a bit puzzled, but Schiller had already understood. If the old Skrull Empire is compared to the Soviet Union, then there must be a group of people who are "total negationists" during that period.
Simply put, it is that we are about to die now, which proves that this path is completely unworkable and has no merit, so we should overthrow everything and walk the opposite path to get through.
The old Skrull Empire used to be a pure mechanical civilization, so when the empire fell apart, naturally some people would feel that this path was unworkable and then move to another extreme.
Just like the Soviet Union, finding that the independent system didn't work, they wanted to fully Westernize and join Europe.
Schiller explained it to Rocket Raccoon simply, and Rocket also understood. He looked at Lylla and said, "So you, I mean you and Dr. Dulakar, knew about this?"
Lylla nodded and said, "Actually, your little master also knew, but she just didn't want to care."
Rocket Raccoon didn't know what to say. The old Skrull Empire should be his little master's enemy. After all, they overthrew the noble era, but they ended up like this, and his little master didn't seem happy either.
If the group of people who created the old Skrull Empire were so perverted and crazy from the beginning, how could they overthrow the noble rule and establish a new era?
In other words, if the nobles were once extravagant, lustful, and evil, how could they become nobles?
