Chapter 700: U: Infinite Event (16)
Time returned to when Lucifer was very irritable because of Schiller's harassment calls. The very angry Lucifer instantly forgot his wish to be an ordinary person and instead directly followed the truth and origin of the world, wanting to find Schiller, then scold him, and by the way, get the feather back.
However, he searched through the origin of the entire DC universe and didn't find Schiller's existence. This was very strange. As long as it was a life in this universe, it was impossible to escape Lucifer's eyes.
Finding no results this way, he started sensing the power of that feather of his. The feather was sensed, but it wasn't within the DC universe. Lucifer felt that the feather's aura came from outside the Source Wall.
Lucifer was even angrier. Schiller not only made harassment calls to him, but also made overseas harassment calls, making him want to catch the culprit without any opportunity.
Generally speaking, existences within the DC universe, no matter how high their rank, couldn't manage things outside the Source Wall. However, Schiller took away one of Lucifer's feathers, which was equivalent to taking away a part of his power. No matter where this part of power was taken, Lucifer could control it.
So, Lucifer, who was burning with rage, didn't think at all and controlled this part of power, starting to roar.
However, Lucifer was an existence from another universe. No matter how high his rank was in this universe, it didn't mean he could precisely control his power in another universe. His roar was essentially making a call to scold Schiller, but because he couldn't precisely control his power, a private chat turned into a group broadcast.
That is to say, Schiller became the phone itself, and Lucifer stood within the Source Wall of the DC universe, sending group text messages to the Marvel universe.
When Lucifer's roar echoed over the Marvel universe, all existences at the multiverse level and above heard his voice.
However, the vast majority of these existences didn't discover that this voice came from outside the universe. They thought it was someone at the same level who had gone crazy again.
This wasn't strange. Having reached this level, it wasn't difficult to make one's voice echo in all universes.
Generally speaking, if they wanted to communicate, they would send text messages one-on-one. However, it wasn't excluded that someone might press the wrong button, changing a single send to a group send. This kind of thing had happened before. So, when Lucifer shouted that sentence, most people thought it was someone who had gone crazy and sent a group text message.
However, some existences discovered that the aura of this voice didn't belong to any known existence.
Many high-level existences noticed that this voice might not be one of them. They started looking for the source of this voice, and because Lucifer made this call through Schiller himself, this group of existences searched and searched, and found Schiller.
After all, the content of this text message had Schiller's name written on it. No matter what, it definitely had something to do with Schiller.
Lucifer's group broadcast range was very wide, including many Marvel world big shots. Among them, the most famous one was OAA. It was called the Supreme God of the Marvel universe, the omnipotent creator, an existence that was all-knowing and all-powerful.
OAA didn't have much humanity shown in the comics. Many of its expressions in the comics came from agents. It would control certain characters in certain universes to interfere with the universe's progress.
For example, OAA once used Thanos with the Heart of the Universe to repair errors in the universe, and also once incarnated as a lonely old man to encourage Peter Parker, who was heartbroken due to the death of a relative. After the Thing in the Fantastic Four died due to an accident, OAA also appeared to encourage the Fantastic Four, praising their spirit of exploring the universe, and resurrected the Thing as a reward for their spirit of exploration.
It could be seen that OAA was somewhat similar to the administrator of the Marvel world. It ran above all programs and had almost no personal likes or dislikes. If one had to say, OAA also had a pursuit, and that was that it liked a universe with infinite possibilities.
At the same time, the Marvel editorial department also acknowledged that OAA actually represented the editors, readers, and the Marvel company in reality. That is to say, the will in reality was also implemented into the comics through OAA.
So, when a character from next door came to knock on the door, OAA definitely couldn't open the door, because Lucifer was a DC character. In reality, his copyright belonged to the DC company. If he appeared in Marvel comics, it would be copyright infringement.
Therefore, OAA couldn't let Lucifer in, but it couldn't let Lucifer keep knocking on the door outside either. Lucifer could send group text messages through Schiller, but the phones of these existences in Marvel were all undefended. If he sent thousands of text messages a day, did these existences deserve to be harassed?
Obviously, letting Lucifer keep knocking on the door outside was also not in line with OAA's work requirement of maintaining cosmic order.
Then, since it couldn't let Lucifer in, and couldn't let him keep making harassment calls, it seemed the only method left was for OAA to go out and have a fight with Lucifer.
However, Lucifer was still staying in the DC universe, and OAA couldn't go into the DC universe either, otherwise, there would still be copyright problems.
That is to say, Schiller was making overseas harassment calls to Lucifer in the Marvel universe, and Lucifer was making overseas harassment calls to the Marvel universe in the DC universe. In these two universes, neither of them could hit the other, just like two Chihuahuas barking and screeching at each other from far away.
However, OAA had another method, and that was to smash the phone.
Schiller making harassment calls to Lucifer was through a bug. Finding out where this bug appeared and how to correct it was very troublesome. Lucifer definitely wasn't willing to do that. But Lucifer making calls to the Marvel world was through that feather in Schiller's soul. Schiller himself was equivalent to a phone.
Then, as long as this phone was smashed, the harassment calls would naturally stop ringing.
However, as the big boss of the Marvel universe, OAA couldn't personally go down and smash the phone, so it issued the order to its subordinates.
Its first subordinate was the Living Tribunal. However, an existence at the level of the Living Tribunal wouldn't personally do the work either. It would also find its own subordinates. In the Living Tribunal's view, what was called smashing a phone wasn't just clearing away a certain creature? Since that was the case, wasn't Galactus exactly professionally suited for this?
However, Galactus at this level wouldn't personally do the work either. He also had a lackey. Galactus's herald was called the Silver Surfer, also known as Silver Surfer. He was an astronomer on an alien planet. In order to prevent his mother from being eaten by Galactus, he volunteered to become Galactus's herald.
His main job was to find food for Galactus. Because of his kind nature, he generally led Galactus to eat those uninhabited planets.
One day, just like usual, he was flying in the universe, looking for food for the always-hungry Galactus, but suddenly, the god he served sent him a messy piece of information.
Simply put, it was to make him find someone, and then kill him.
However, perhaps because of hunger, Galactus's brain had become a ball of paste. In the information he sent, there was no cause or effect, didn't say where this person was, how to kill him, and why he had to kill him, and didn't even say who this person was.
Silver Surfer felt very confused. Subsequently, Galactus sent another series of information. This information pointed to a certain universe, and also gave Silver Surfer a few short syllables, which was "Schiller."
Silver Surfer tried hard to analyze it and discovered that the universe pointed to by the coordinates might be the place where this person was, and the few syllables behind might be the target's name.
Although the information was still very blurry and completely headless, Silver Surfer couldn't resist Galactus's order, so he followed these coordinates and came to this universe.
In every single universe, there were infinite dimensions and spaces. Silver Surfer didn't know for a moment where he should go to find this person named Schiller. Actually, even if Galactus didn't give him the location coordinates, the result would be the same, because it was all looking for a needle in a haystack.
On Earth, it was already very hard to find someone just by name, let alone in the universe. Silver Surfer didn't have the ability of Lucifer to broadcast messages to the whole universe. He could only use a stupid method, which was to ask wherever he went.
There were simply too many lives in the universe. Among many ethnic groups, these two syllables "Schiller" represented different meanings. Silver Surfer searched around and found more than 300 aliens, more than 200 kinds of alien plants, dozens of alien animals, and even a pile of poop.
He floated in the universe, looking at this series of messy things behind him, and sighed helplessly, feeling that he must have gotten something wrong.
However, besides the exhaustive method, there was no better way. Silver Surfer could only search and ask all the way. But soon, a turning point appeared. He broke into the dimension of a cosmic demon god.
Because of the power bestowed by Galactus, Silver Surfer possessed not-bad martial power, at least dealing with some small demon gods was no problem. After this small demon god was beaten up by him, hearing that he wanted to find someone, he recommended a good place to him.
"Hello, this is the Nine Realms Sanctum. May I ask what you need?"
"I..." Silver Surfer adjusted his language mode, then said half-believingly, "I... I want to find someone."
"Who do you want to find? Please provide the other party's name, characteristics, and background information. The more detailed the information you provide, the faster we can find them."
"Uh, I only know his name. He is called Schiller."
"Schiller? Are you talking about Mr. Schiller Rodriguez?"
Silver Surfer finally heard the very standard pronunciation of the word "Schiller" from a certain life in this universe. He said happily, "Yes, that's right, it's this syllable. Do you know him?"
"Sorry, he is our account manager. If you are not a platinum member, we have no way to contact him."
"But, the person I want to find is him."
"I'm really sorry. Account managers only handle business for platinum members. We checked here, and you are an unknown caller. If you don't top up to be a platinum member, we have no way to connect you to the account manager."
Silver Surfer asked many times, but the other side always said the same set of words. And from the customer service's words, Silver Surfer learned that this person called Schiller Rodriguez was an account manager of the Nine Realms Sanctum and one had to handle a membership of this organization to be able to contact him.
Silver Surfer asked for a long time but didn't get any answer. Finally, he really had no other choice and asked, "Fine, then how do I handle a membership here?"
"Do you want to handle a platinum membership directly?" The customer service personnel's tone immediately became enthusiastic. She said, "I will connect you to the staff handling platinum memberships immediately. Gema? Gema?! Are you there? What? She went to eat?... Oh, fine... Mr. Loki? Are you coming to answer? Okay... okay..."
"Hey, hello, this is the Nine Realms Sanctum. I am account manager Loki Odinson. May I ask what you need?" ===== CHAPTER 701 =====
"Hello, this is the Sanctum Sanctorum of the Nine Realms. I am your account manager, Loki Odinson. How may I help you?"
