Chapter 3982: MU: The Super-Body Event (Part 74)
The universe. In the eyes of most life, it is an incomparably vast and mysterious existence. The universe is more empty than most people imagine, and the numerous celestial bodies do not meet so easily. Even members within a stable, mature star system are always separated by a great distance, and they cannot see each other at all.
No one can say they know every star in this universe. Even the Sorcerer Supreme, even Magneto, even with such powerful strength, their understanding of the universe is still very limited. Anyone in it cannot see the whole picture, even Eternity is only a part of the universe, and 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; more powerful ones 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, ambitious, not only extensively transforming the cosmic environment, but also occupying the top spot in the competition of civilizations, almost reaching the pinnacle of intelligent life. Therefore, they must seek outward.
What is outside the universe? For a long time, there was no answer. The thirst for knowledge of intelligent creatures urged them to keep researching. But most people cannot break through the barrier of the universe and will never know what is outside the universe. This makes them frustrated and annoyed, making them unable to find a goal to move forward.
But they don't know that this is the universe's last mercy. What is outside the universe? It is not a warm and kind new land waiting to be developed, but another universe, countless universes, countless other universes that cannot be counted.
There are equally intelligent creatures there, equally grinding their teeth and sucking blood, waiting for the opportunity; and countless terrifying existences, incomparably huge, endless, even if you just take a look, you 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 is endless, so they will always have a day to go out, not today, then tomorrow.
And this time, it is today.
Marvel Central 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 and tired, but they were also incomparably excited because of everything new.
The Avengers of the 616 Main Universe arrived 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 scratched a few times, not so ugly, but equally embarrassed.
The main universe Iron Man had his arm in a sling, walking with a limp; 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 negligible, obviously exhausted long ago; Doctor Strange's beard hadn't been shaved for several days, and there was a bruise under his eyes.
Coulson, who was responsible for the reception, didn't say anything, walked up and patted Captain America on the shoulder and said, "Follow me, you can take a hot bath, and then go to 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, "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... not too far from here..."
He hadn't said what to do specifically yet, when the main universe Iron Man interrupted, "3 million light-years from Earth is not too far away?!"
"Uh..." Coulson was stunned by this interruption, not knowing where to start. 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 what can be transmitted is 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, he hadn't retreated from the stress state. Although this state made his thinking more active and his thinking speed faster, his reaction to anything became intense, and he was probably unable to withstand any stimulation, otherwise he might 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 we considered it repeatedly and felt that it is relatively safe here. As for logistics, we don't use mages' portals to transport, but spaceships."
"Spaceships?" Captain America asked curiously, "Do 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 see it when you go to the front line later. In short, you don't have to worry too much about logistics. Our supply line is completely kept up."
"You said earlier that you wanted me to help, what 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 extensively 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 cleaning area? The whole 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, what free time do we have to care about flowers and plants? What about those mutants, have they arrived?"
"Yes, they went to the Triangulum Galaxy first, there are still a lot of things to do 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 experienced agent. He didn't try to explain, because once he explained, it would be endless. He chose to attack directly: "Sorry, Mr. Stark, according to the traditional values of carbon-based life, letting you go to the battlefield in such a physical and mental state is not in line with humanitarianism. However, this job invitation of mine is not aimed at you. 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 stepped forward and said, "If there is indeed a little time to rest, please be sure to provide us with the best healing drugs and rest environment, so that we can go to the battlefield in the best posture. Veterans all know that not resting well before fighting is fatal."
The main universe Black Widow gave Captain America a look, and the main universe Captain America stepped forward and patted the main universe Iron Man on the shoulder and said, "That's right, you go to the battlefield like this, even controlling the mecha will be affected, it's better to rest well."
"It's just a minor fracture!" The main universe Iron Man said, "Besides, this kind of injury takes ten days and a half months to heal, I can't wait that long. Do you mean to say that you have all rushed to the front line, and I have to hide in the back to heal alone?!"
"In fact, we have the best medical team." Coulson 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 said, "We promise we will wait for you, even if we start fighting, it won't be that intense at the beginning. Batman will definitely choose to test us first, you won't miss anything."
Others also took turns to persuade, and 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 said is really that good..."
"God's dog shit!" The main universe Iron Man looked at the few busy figures in the ward in a daze: Dr. Yin Sen was checking the ward, Dr. Connors was adjusting the flow rate of the drip, and Dr. Banner was holding a notebook and didn't know what he was writing.
These are not the point, the point is that one person stood in each corner of the room, one was Doctor Doom, and the other was Doctor Reed.
Originally thinking that agreeing to come to the hospital had exhausted his life's willpower, the main universe Iron Man only then realized that he had underestimated his willpower. At this moment, in this scene, he could actually endure not running away.
"Sorry, wartime conditions are difficult, and this hospital is also a hospital borrowed from the mutant base. It's just that in order to carry out better treatment, we have made some small adjustments to the 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 with some disbelief, "Then what is called a big adjustment?! You wouldn't want Hulk to treat my fracture, would you?!"
"I swear I have no such intention." Coulson said, and after a pause, added, "At least not before you raise your fist and punch me."
The main universe Iron Man opened his mouth. He had indeed had such an idea before, but because one of his arms was fractured, he couldn't put it into practice. He felt a little 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 was not the only unlucky person in this hospital: Dr. Yin Sen and Dr. Connors were taking care of a Spider-Man, and two 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 starts?"
"Like you, they came with injuries." Coulson said, "Fortunately, we had anticipated this situation and equipped the hospital with sufficient medicine and manpower. Alright, lie down first, we will give you healing medicine."
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 next to him. If he didn't lie down, Bruce Banner might reach out to press him, and by then, maybe even a good arm wouldn't be left.
The main universe Iron Man swallowed his anger and lay down obediently, only to see that the person who came over with the healing medicine was Dr. Connors.
"Don't come over! You... you... ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!" ===== CHAPTER 3983 =====
"Perhaps he is just confident that he won't lose," Reed said, crossing his arms. "You have to admit, this solves their biggest pain point—the issue of energy endurance."
"I'm more curious about how the administrators on our side solved the conversion problem. What did they convert the other universe's source power into? Is it still source power on our side? Will it really not cause program conflicts?"
"That can only be asked of Eternity. Where is Stephen? Tell him to hurry to the Temple of Eternity and ask!"
At this moment, Eternity was sprawled out in the Temple of Eternity. Among the other abstract entities, only Death looked somewhat decent and could still sit up; the others were strewn about in disarray. When Strange arrived, he thought he had come to the scene of a plane crash.
