Chapter 3979

The universe. In the eyes of most life, it is an incomparably vast and mysterious existence. The universe is emptier than most people imagine, and the numerous stars that seem to be numerous are not so easy to meet. Even members in a stable, mature star system are always separated by a long distance and cannot look at each other from afar at all.

No one can say that they know every star in this universe. Even the Sorcerer Supreme, even Magneto, even if they already have such powerful power, their understanding of the universe is still very limited. Anyone in it cannot see its full picture. Even Eternity is only a part of the universe and is never the master of the universe.

However, transforming the cosmic environment to be more suitable for one's own survival and development is the ultimate goal of every intelligent life. Unable to transform such a huge universe, then transform one's own planet; those who are more powerful can transform star systems, and even have some influence on the entire interstellar society of the universe. This is almost all that intelligent life can do.

Those among them who perform exceptionally well are full of vitality and ambitious, not only widely transforming the cosmic environment but also occupying the top spot in the competition of civilizations, almost having reached the pinnacle of intelligent life. Therefore, they inevitably have to seek outward.

What is outside the universe? For a long time, there was no answer. The thirst for knowledge of smart intelligent creatures urges them, letting them keep researching. But most people cannot break through the barrier of the universe and will never know what else is outside the universe. This makes them frustrated and annoyed, making them unable to find a goal to move forward anymore.

But what they don't know is that this is the last mercy of the universe. What is outside the universe? It is not a new land waiting to be developed, warm and kind, but another universe, countless universes, and countless other universes that cannot be counted.

There are equally smart intelligent creatures there, equally grinding teeth and sucking blood, waiting for the opportunity; and countless terrifying existences, incomparably huge, endless, and even just by looking at them, one will be completely alienated, transformed, and die painfully in fear.

Such truth is too cruel for the creatures inside the universe. However, the curiosity of intelligent life has no end, so they will always have a day to go out, if not today, then tomorrow.

And this time, it is today.

Marvel Center Universe Andromeda Galaxy, the light of the portal has been shining all night. In the vast universe, similar but different superheroes rushed to the same battlefield overnight. They were exhausted from the journey, but they were also incomparably excited because of all the novel things.

The Avengers of the 616 main universe came very late, almost the last batch to arrive. Everyone was injured, like a pack of hyenas that had spent great effort to hunt successfully but had their prey snatched by a lion and were chased and scratched a few times. They were not that ugly, but they were equally embarrassed.

The main universe Iron Man had his arm in a bandage and was still limping when walking; Captain America's shield didn't even have time to be properly maintained, and it was full of scorched marks from artillery fire; Dr. Banner looked fine on the surface, but there was a very rich coffee smell on him, obviously he hadn't rested for a few days; the divine power on Thor was almost imperceptible, obviously it had long been exhausted; Doctor Strange's beard hadn't been shaved for several days, and there was a dark bruise under his eyes.

Coulson, who was responsible for the reception, didn't say anything, walked up and patted Captain America on the shoulder, saying, "Follow me, you can take a hot bath, and then go have a good sleep."

"Is there time?" The main universe Captain America's voice was a bit hoarse, and he said, "Emergency combat readiness should have started now, right? I'm not very tired; is there anything I can do?"

"Actually, there really is something, Captain." Coulson said following the trend, "As you can see, we are not on Earth; this is the Andromeda Galaxy. The battlefield will be set up in the Triangulum Galaxy, the third largest galaxy in this local group, which is not too far from here..."

He hadn't said specifically what to do yet, when the main universe Iron Man interrupted, saying, "3 million light-years from Earth is not far away?!"

"Uh..." Coulson was stunned by this kind of interruption, not knowing where to start for a while. The main universe Iron Man said again, "Of course, I know you have mages who can use portals, but mages only have small portals, and the things that can be transmitted are very limited. Setting the battlefield so far from Earth, what about the supply line?"

Coulson found that the main universe Iron Man seemed to have entered a stress state. To be precise, from the moment he decided to fight a battle, he hadn't retreated from the stress state. Although this state made his thinking more active and his thinking speed faster, his reaction to everything became intense, and he was probably unable to withstand any stimulation, otherwise he could suffer heavy damage at any time.

Coulson took a deep breath and said, "What you said is very reasonable. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be fought so far away, but after careful consideration, we feel that it is relatively safe here. As for logistics, we don't use mages' portals to transport, but spaceships."

"Spaceships?" Captain America asked curiously, "You have spaceships? Is it Nick's Helicarrier?"

"No, it's a real spaceship. It might be a bit complicated to explain, but you will be able to see it when you go to the front line later. In short, you don't need to worry too much about logistics problems; our supply line is completely keeping up."

"You said before that there is something you want me to help with; what exactly is it?"

"Actually, it's not very important." Coulson smiled at him and said, "We hope that the Andromeda Galaxy can become a safe rear area for this war. We are more widely cleaning up the creatures in the area, especially some animals and plants that may mutate due to energy fluctuations. Most of the heroes who haven't gone to the front line are doing these things. Are you willing to help? Captain?"

"That's no problem, but how big is the cleanup range? The entire galaxy? I'm afraid there isn't enough time, right?"

"We should go to the front line first." The main universe Iron Man said very anxiously, "We don't even know where the trenches are yet; what free time is there to care about animals and plants? What about that group of mutants? Have they arrived yet?"

"Yes, they went to the Triangulum Galaxy first; there are still quite a lot of things that need to be busy there." Coulson nodded and said.

"So you mean, they can go to the battlefield to fight, while we can only clean up some flowers and plants here?!" The main universe Iron Man raised his voice and said, "Do you really think this is reasonable? Or do you think mutants are more trustworthy than the Avengers?"

Coulson is a very seasoned agent. He didn't try to explain, because once he started explaining, it would be endless. He chose to attack directly: "Sorry, Mr. Stark, from the perspective of traditional values of carbon-based life, letting you go to the battlefield in such a physical and mental state does not conform to humanitarianism. However, this job invitation of mine is not aimed at you either. After all, a weeder also needs a good arm, right?"

The main universe Iron Man was so angry that he was panting, and it took several deep breaths to calm down. At this time, the main universe Black Widow walked up and said, "If there is indeed a little time for rest, please be sure to provide us with the best treatment drugs and rest environment, so that we can go to the battlefield in the best posture. Veterans all know that not resting well before starting a fight is fatal."

The main universe Black Widow gave Captain America a look, and the main universe Captain America walked up and patted the main universe Iron Man on the shoulder, saying, "That's right, if you go to the battlefield like this, even controlling the mecha will be affected. It's better to have a good rest."

"It's just a minor fracture!" The main universe Iron Man said, "Besides, for this kind of injury to heal, it will take ten days or half a month anyway. I can't wait that long. Do you want me to hide in the back and heal alone while you all rush to the front line?!"

"In fact, we have the best medical team." Coulson opened his mouth and said, "Internal medicine doctors and dispensing doctors have three doctoral degrees on average. If there are open wounds, we also have the best surgeons."

"Go, Tony." Dr. Banner opened his mouth and said, "We guarantee we will wait for you. Even if we start fighting, it's impossible to be that intense at the beginning. Batman will definitely choose to test us first; you won't miss anything."

Others also took turns to dissuade him. Although the main universe Iron Man was anxious to death, he obviously couldn't resist the disapproval of so many people. He could only follow Coulson forward while whispering, "I hope the medical team you mentioned is really that good..."

"God's shit!" The main universe Iron Man looked at the few figures busy in the ward in a daze: the one doing rounds was Dr. Yin Sen, the one adjusting the drip flow rate was Dr. Connors, and the one holding a notebook and not knowing what he was writing was Dr. Banner.

These are not the point. The point is that one person stood in each corner of the two sides of the room. On the left was Doctor Doom, and on the right was Dr. Reed.

Originally thinking that agreeing to come to the hospital had exhausted his willpower for a lifetime, the main universe Iron Man only then realized that he had underestimated his willpower. At this moment, in this scene, he could actually resist not turning around and running.

"Sorry, wartime conditions are difficult, and this hospital also borrowed the hospital of the mutant base. It's just that in order to better carry out treatment, we have made some small adjustments in personnel configuration..."

"You call taking a nuclear bomb out of a nuclear missile silo and throwing it on the ground casually a small adjustment?!" The main universe Iron Man said somewhat incredulously, "Then what is called a big adjustment?! You wouldn't want to let Hulk treat my fracture, right?!"

"I swear I have absolutely no such intention." Coulson said, and after he finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a while, and then added, "At least not before you raise your fist and punch me."

The main universe Iron Man opened his mouth. He did have such an idea before, but because one of his arms was fractured, he couldn't put it into practice. He felt a bit regretful before, but now it was just right.

The main universe Iron Man walked over and sat down unwillingly. Approaching the hospital bed with the curtain pulled, he realized that he wasn't the only unlucky guy in this hospital: the one being looked after by Dr. Yin Sen and Dr. Connors was a Spider-Man, and two other people were lying behind him, but because they were blocked, he couldn't see who they were.

"What's going on?" The main universe Iron Man looked at Coulson and asked, "How come someone is injured before the fight even starts?"

"Like you, brought injuries here." Coulson sat by the bed and said, "Fortunately, we anticipated this situation long ago and equipped the hospital with sufficient medicine and manpower. Alright, lie down first; we'll give you a healing potion."

After speaking, he reached out and pressed the main universe Iron Man onto the bed. The main universe Iron Man didn't want to lie down, but the problem was that Dr. Banner was right next to him. If he didn't lie down, Bruce Banner might reach out and press him, and by then, maybe not even one good arm would be left.

The main universe Iron Man swallowed his anger and lay down obediently, only to see that the person walking over with the healing potion was actually Dr. Connors.

"Don't come over! You... you... ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
