Chapter 708: U: The Infinity Event (Part 24)

The timeline turns backward from the future, returning to when Schiller successfully arrived in the Death Realm.

Death was busy solving Schiller's problem, which was busy making overseas harassment calls to Lucifer, and Schiller was not idle either. He had been promoting to her in Death's ear.

Although, as things progressed to this point, the main purpose of both sides was to win, but Schiller was idle anyway. If he could develop one more client, it would be good. Therefore, he began to use all his skills and began to talk business with Death.

Death ignored him completely at first, but as Schiller changed various negotiation strategies, Death began to be slightly moved. Although she pretended to have no interest at all, she was still listening carefully.

Discovering that Death seemed to be shaken, Schiller became even more energetic. Face-to-face sales were different from phone calls. Schiller could cooperate with various gestures, graphics, and even PPTs and proposals to fully explain to Death how advanced his cooperation method was.

Soon, the two entered the bargaining session of snatching and grabbing. In fact, this session was the most difficult. Neither side was willing to make concessions, constantly testing the other side's bottom line, then adjusting their own bottom line, and conducting a long tug-of-war.

The two of them ate and talked business in the Death Realm, which was very peaceful. However, on OAA's side, some problems appeared.

Death kept making harassment calls to Lucifer, and Lucifer kept making harassment calls to Marvel. OAA itself had the responsibility of maintaining the stable operation of the universe. Obviously, constantly receiving harassment calls did not belong to the scope of stable operation, so he had to find a way to hang up the phone.

OAA wanted to smash the phone and handed this task to his subordinates, and the subordinates handed it to the subordinates' subordinates. After layers of outsourcing, Galactus's younger brother, Silver Surfer, became the fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the Sanctum Sanctorum.

Hearing that Silver Surfer and the Galactus behind him wanted to apply for the platinum membership of the Sanctum Sanctorum, Loki went into battle himself. The conditions were negotiated, and the contract was signed, just waiting for the money. But at this time, Silver Surfer said that he had to report the budget and ask Galactus for money.

However, Galactus himself was starving, and only wanted to eat and not spit at any time. This was probably the most difficult boss in the entire universe to ask for a budget. Silver Surfer also couldn't squeeze energy out of Galactus's teeth.

Silver Surfer could only report to a higher level. Fortunately, the Living Tribunal was quite generous. After the budget was approved, Silver Surfer successfully applied for the platinum membership of the Sanctum Sanctorum.

Loki was very happy. The transaction amount of this order was worth his busy work for this year. And Silver Surfer was also very happy. In his view, it was not his money, and he could easily find the target. This mission would definitely be very easy.

But at this time, Loki gave him bad news. According to the intelligence told to him by Frigga, who was present at the time, Schiller was already dead.

When Silver Surfer got this news, he was stunned. As far as he knew, his mission this time was to find this target and then let Galactus go and swallow the planet where the target was located. But now, the target was already dead, so what was the point of Galactus going over?

Silver Surfer didn't know whether someone had eliminated the target one step ahead of him, or if some accident had occurred. Anyway, the target was already dead, so his mission was considered completed. Therefore, he went back and told this news to Galactus, and Galactus told the Living Tribunal.

When OAA learned that Schiller was already dead, he also felt very puzzled. The phone was already gone, why hadn't the harassment call hung up yet?

After checking, OAA discovered that it was precisely because Schiller was already dead that the phone hadn't hung up.

However, because of the operation Death was performing, it was related to some existences on the DC side, so OAA couldn't judge what the principle was. He only knew that he had to resurrect Schiller first, and then he could find out whether this harassment call was because Schiller died that it was being made.

However, OAA also had a side representing readers and the editorial department. He was the supreme will of the Marvel universe. In the settings of the supreme will, everyone who had said the sentence "With great power comes great responsibility" would die.

Or rather, this was actually the will of comic readers, and also the will of the editorial department, the result reflected in the comics.

The so-called "Spider Curse" was actually that comic readers liked to see the growth process of Spider-Man, and the method the editor used to reflect this process was to write his important relatives to death.

The side of OAA that maintained the stable operation of the universe needed him to resurrect Schiller to see what the harassment call was about, but the side that embodied the will of readers and editors needed him to let the person who said "With great power comes great responsibility" die.

If the sides of OAA could talk, then what happened might be like the following:

"Maintaining the stable operation of the universe is my responsibility, I say, I want to resurrect Schiller, and then hang up the phone!"

"Implementing the reader's will is my responsibility, I say, Schiller said with great power comes great responsibility, so he must die!"

"He cannot die, I want to hang up the phone!"

"He must die..."

"He cannot die..."

"He must..."

"He cannot..."

In short, on the question of whether Schiller could die or not, OAA's program had a small bug.

Of course, this level of bug could not cause the supreme will of the universe to crash. A good program had the function of self-detection and emergency braking.

And for OAA, the best solution was to restart.

Of course, it was not a restart of the entire Marvel universe, nor was it a restart that rewrote all character background settings, but simply a time reversal of the single universe, resetting all causal relationships back to the time point when there was no problem.

Simply put, through rollback, the program segment where the bug occurred was wiped out, and then through some interference by OAA, the development process of the single universe was deviated from the possibility of a bug, and this problem could be completely solved.

Schiller in the Death Realm was holding a contract, pointing to the place at the end of the contract, and said to Death: "If there is no problem, just sign here, according to the conditions we negotiated before..."

Death looked at the contract again, and after confirming that there was no problem, a pen appeared in her hand, and beautiful fancy letters fell on the paper.

But just as she finished writing the first letter, she felt some strangeness, and Schiller also heard some strange sounds.

Both of them looked up at the sky at the same time. Schiller didn't know what Death saw, but he discovered that a strange starry sky suddenly appeared in the sky of the Death Realm.

This starry sky was getting bigger and bigger, and getting closer and closer to Schiller. Schiller narrowed his eyes and took two steps back, having a bad premonition. Just one second before the starry sky swallowed him, he shouted:

"No!

! My contract!

!

"

In an instant, the Death Realm was left with only silence.

And Schiller was surrounded by a bright starry sky. He discovered that all the light points beside him were moving forward at high speed, or rather, he was retreating at high speed.

In the endless star stream, he saw countless universes vanishing like bubbles, endless universes swept past him, and all the details that happened in them were clearly visible.

One person chose to drink milk in the morning, one universe flew past Schiller's eyes, one person chose not to drink milk in the morning, and another universe flew past.

Infinite choices constitute infinite possibilities, infinite possibilities become infinite universes, every single universe in the multiverse represents infinite possibilities at infinite time points.

Countless strange things flew past Schiller. All these things were an independent universe. Everything in this infinity was a universe.

Milk is a universe, a chair is a universe, a cat is a universe, a dog is also a universe, a person's thought is a universe, a dream is also a universe...

As time flowed backward and causality was reset, the single universe where Schiller was located was restarted to the time point when it had not yet contacted the multiverse.

Schiller woke up suddenly from the bed. The bedroom of Arkham Asylum was very quiet. The thousands of lights outside the floor-to-ceiling window and the bright starry sky did not weaken Schiller's sleepiness.

Reaching the base of the Spider Army through spider-sense, learning about the so-called Spider Curse, using the Spider Curse to go to the Death Realm, and then inducing Death to make harassment calls to Lucifer... all of this seemed like an absurd dream.

When waking up from the bed, there is always such an illusion, as if everything that happened before was a blurred dream, but Schiller knew that it was not a dream.

Looking at the wall clock next to him, according to the date and time on it, in two more minutes, Spider-Silk would contact him through spider-sense.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the two minutes were up, that familiar "buzzing" sound did not arrive.

Spider-Silk did not contact him, the spider totem had no reaction, the development of things deviated from the original track, and the possible program error was reversed.

Schiller looked at his hand, where there should have been a resurrection contract signed by Death, which was the sign of his victory and the trophy he deserved.

But at this time, with the causal reset, everything vanished without a trace.

Schiller took a deep breath and sat up from the bed. He remembered the infinite universes he saw in the gap between time reversal and causal reset when he personally experienced the restart of the universe.

Everything becomes a universe, a cat is a universe, a dog is a universe, a dream is a universe...

A dream... is also a universe?

As the moonlight dimmed, Schiller's figure was reflected on the clean glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, and a dangerous and crazy smile slowly appeared on his face. ===== CHAPTER 709 =====
