Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 46 After research, we decided to name the thing that appeared in the sky the Papa Eye.
The world where Old A is located has a very high efficiency of action. Less than 30 minutes after the space-time rift in the sky appeared, a very professional response team had completed the blockade of both sides of it.
This loophole was accurately "plugged" through a series of operations in this plane and several adjacent planes.
As the headquarters such a reaction is not surprising. After all, for the past seventeen years, the phase coordinates of this world have been kept absolutely confidential.
Only a few people know of its precise existence, and any dimensional vibrations and travels in this world must go through layers of review.
To give the simplest example, even Ciri, one of the three mentors of the Star Society, does not know the exact location of this world, which shows how strict the confidentiality is.
As for why people are so paranoid, the answer is actually very simple. Only those who have done bad things know how much they are hated.
The consequences of making the slightest mistake in self-protection can be disastrous.
But now, at this critical moment when the fourth impact is approaching, such a big mess has emerged that cannot be covered up at all. It is really unreasonable to hope that the Council will not say something.
Therefore, soon, Mr. A, as the chief officer of the arbitration tribunal of the council, received a special meeting notice.
When he arrived at the conference hall, other members had already taken their seats. This was certainly not a large meeting, and there were no more than ten participants, all of whom were members of the board who held key power or had real power.
If Mason had seized the opportunity to throw an Ultimate Eraser into this small room at this moment, the story would probably have ended hundreds of thousands of words earlier.
Old A sat in his seat.
While others were whispering, he noticed at a glance the two empty chairs in the conference room. One of them belonged to Lord Fate who was absent for many years, and the other belonged to another important person.
"The Supreme Professor is absent again?"
Lu Dan asked the Conqueror Kang beside him in a gentle tone:
“How many times this month has this happened?”
"He stopped attending such gatherings last month, and thus missed a very important meeting for Utopia."
Kang, who was dressed in casual clothes, took off his headphones and said casually:
"But considering that our Charles has always been decisive, I guess that he and his people have entered the final stage of preparations for war. He is as aware as we are that some conflicts that have been suppressed for many years are about to break out."
"No one forced him. We gave him a way to go."
Another voice responded with a strong tone:
"If he had just nodded, things wouldn't have gone to the worst possible point. Unfortunately, he still responded with silence. We can't blame him for that."
Old A and Kang turned their heads to look at the speaker at the same time.
The latter was wearing flirty sandals and a golden armor, but it still couldn't hide her plump waist, and she also styled her hair into quite stylish curls.
This is Zeus.
The King of Gods, who originated from a certain plane, is the "rotating representative" sent by the gods' forces to this meeting.
The reason why this point needs to be emphasized is that the high degree of chaos within the power of the gods and the rampant spread of various ideas have made it impossible for them to make any unified decisions. Even the representatives sent to each important meeting are different.
God knows which faction among the gods this seemingly unreliable guy in front of him belongs to. If there is no real leader in the top leadership of the council, this group of internally chaotic guys have no right to be here at all.
Unfortunately, although these gods cannot reach a consensus and will only hinder each other in everything, their strength after uniting is really strong.
If you can't get rid of it, you'll just have to accept it.
What's more, these guys did help a lot in the early days of the council. Even if they have no credit, they have worked hard.
"We made the decision and you abstained as usual."
Conqueror Kang said to Zeus in a rather impolite manner:
“Every decision made in this meeting, no matter how important it is, you will only abstain from voting! This matter has nothing to do with you, and you have no share in the benefits. I don’t think you have a say.
So listen patiently to what happened today, and then go back and have a chaotic quarrel with your brothers and sisters until the universe is destroyed."
"whispering sound"
This sarcasm made Zeus curl his lips.
But he didn't make any more rebuttals, instead he took out a box of donuts and started tasting the delicious food.
The others sitting at the table exchanged glances. It was obvious that the topic raised by Mr. A just now had aroused their thoughts, but considering that it was a decision that had been made at the last meeting, they should not waste time discussing it at this time.
"That thing that suddenly appeared in the sky, that's the point we want to talk about today."
The god Dumu, dressed in white, reached out and knocked on the table. He spoke in a slow and hoarse voice with the demeanor of a king:
"It created identical space-time tunnels in all existing parallel planes within thirty minutes. I have analyzed the samples and found that they are essentially caused by the one-time release of the Speed Force after it was highly concentrated.
It was no accident.
Because the route that energy took through the worlds was quite precise, it was obviously a correct conclusion reached after long and complex calculations.
It can be seen from this that the person who initiated this incident has profound attainments in the construction of parallel world systems and hyperdimensional space studies. It is impossible for such a person to remain unknown.
But everyone, the most important question now is..."
"Find him!"
Zeus, who was chewing a donut, waved his hands and shouted:
"The one who can cause such a big stir in the entire parallel world system must be more than just an unstable factor. We must strike hard!"
"No!"
Lord Doom glanced at the guy from under his mask with a cold gaze and said:
"The most important issue now is still our response to the Fourth Impact. This super-temporal and spatial rift that exists in the sky of each plane has not impacted the basic framework of the parallel world, although the plane connection it caused will indeed cause many unnecessary minor problems in a short period of time.
But from a macro perspective, it is not an issue that needs to be paid attention to so far, and there are still ten days before the fourth impact arrives.
This is a fermentation period.
My opinion is that we should wait until the Fourth Impact is over before discussing the chaos caused by the "Eye of Time and Space". I don't even think it will be a problem.
Also, is this your first time attending a conference?
Please note, Master Zeus, I do not like to be interrupted when I am speaking."
This straightforward warning made Zeus curl his lips and he picked up another donut to eat. Seeing his active appearance, it seemed that he really wanted to integrate into this "high-end circle", but he didn't have much friendship with these guys in front of him.
"Lord Doom's understanding is correct. He has always had an excellent overall perspective."
After Doom finished his speech, Tony Stark, who was sitting opposite Old A, rubbed his eyes and said:
“I agree with him. This Eye of Time and Space does objectively connect the planes that are separated from each other in a way that we don’t want to see, and the timing of its appearance is very clever.
We have decided to truly and enter the "integration" process. Then, the emergence of the Eye of Time and Space will allow our military forces to travel more conveniently between the remaining planes without the need for sonic boom channels or world gates.
According to my calculations, its presence can reduce the time consumption of the integration process by one fifth, which is a pleasant surprise.
However, Zeus's opinion does make sense."
The tired Iron Man lowered his finger and looked around.
He looked the weakest of all the people here . Years of intensive thinking seemed to have overwhelmed this guy's body, but no one dared to ignore his opinion.
Because there is something , that thing gives him the top wisdom in the multiverse.
He said:
"This person who can cause such a large-scale chaos in the parallel world system must be found. He is an unstable factor. According to my prediction, if he can survive this impact, he will pose a threat to the 'integration' procedure we are about to implement.
Regarding this point, I think Mr. Fury can give us some useful information?"
Now all eyes were on Old A, but the old fox responded calmly:
"I'm checking his identity and I already have a rough guess. You have to understand that this happened too suddenly. Of course, I will inform you as soon as I have any news.
However, is it really okay to just leave this 'Eye of Time and Space' alone?
In the past, the cosmic forces between different planes were unable to have large-scale contact with each other, which gave us the opportunity to unite in a low-key manner and develop secretly.
But now, the Eye of Time and Space stands there and gives them a channel to exchange information. What I worry about is whether another organization similar to ours will rise strongly in a short period of time?"
"Your worries seem a bit unnecessary at this time."
At the edge of the conference table, the shadow between the empty chair of the Supreme Professor and the left side of the God Lord Doom was shaking. This man with the most mysterious identity and the most low-key behavior among the senior members of the Hope Council said calmly:
“I hope that the greatest value of the Council does not lie in how powerful the union of so many powerful worlds is. In the face of events at the level of cosmic change, power is the least worthy factor to be concerned about.
The most valuable things in our hands are methods, wisdom and strategies. We know how to survive a crisis. We select members with strict conditions, and we rationally use the power of all realms to polish this system.
Three impacts will eliminate all the weak ones, and the fourth impact will create the 'Final Star'. We have now reached this stage.
What if other cosmic forces truly unite?
They have power but no methods. They have lagged behind us by seventeen years on the road of self-salvation and pursuit of transcendence. Let them unite.
Or kill each other.
Think of it as another bloody selection. The outstanding winner will be granted a promise. The ark of doomsday has been built, and only the strong can board this ship to the other side. "
There was silence in the conference room.
The speech of this mysterious gentleman does sound reasonable, but those who can sit here are truly smart people, and they will not be convinced by such mysterious words.
But just when everyone was about to have an in-depth discussion, a messenger suddenly walked into the hall and handed a message to the God Doom. Conqueror Kang also seemed to have received a message sent back by another version of himself.
Old A's phone rang and he opened it to see that it was a text message from Steve Rogers, the third-order commander of the Conquerors.
Everyone present at the meeting seemed to have received information about the unusual changes in the outside world. Even Zeus, who was slaying Donuts in revenge, heard what was happening in the distance from the thunder and lightning that danced in his ears.
"The flagship of the 23rd Fleet, the Autumn Wind Pillar, which was on guard duty and was patrolling the Garden World Star Region, was attacked."
Mr. A read out the text message on his phone and said:
"The attackers are the Apocalypse Demon Army from a plane in the N52 system of the Hypertemporal Stream. We have confirmed that they have not made any contact with us. Currently, three garden worlds are in their attack zone."
"That's about the same information I got."
Conqueror Kang said gloomily:
"Two central nodes of the Time Administration were destroyed. It was done by a strange Loki. She used the Eye of Time and Space to make a high-speed jump and escaped."
"Well, I got better news."
Zeus touched the food residue on his beard, smiled and said:
"Another Zeus came to us with a bunch of mistresses of his own. He came from a plane that was collapsing on itself, and he came with his family to join us."
"Utopia is beginning to shift!"
The God Lord Doom finally spoke and told the bad news that no one wanted to hear.
He said:
“They are using the Eye of Time and Space to disperse members who have no fighting power to unknown places. That thing that suddenly appeared is not within the scope of our blockade.
The Supreme Professor was as decisive as ever, he seized the opportunity and was quite courageous. "
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Old A stood up suddenly and said with finality:
"We need the resources of Utopia to build the framework of the 'End Star'. We need to eliminate the strongest person among us who has two minds. We need a deterrent to the other members to unify their thoughts.
Let’s start!
Send our friends away with dignity when the impact comes, and their relics will help us walk into the light of the next era."
After a while, the meeting ended early.
Old A left the conference room with a heavy heart. He glanced at the purple crack outside the corridor window, which seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze that filtered out the luster.
His worst fears seemed to have come true.
It is possible that Mason really knew in advance about the Council of Hope's decision on Utopia. That guy made such a big fuss because he was most likely trying to help his people avoid disaster in this unstoppable way.
So thinking about the worst case scenario, perhaps some of the guys who had just met with him were secretly hooking up with Mason.
"You once told me that you wanted to end this era, that you wanted to put everything back on track, that you wanted to help everyone you saw who needed help...
I thought you were just young and energetic.
I thought you would learn your lesson and face the reality after hitting a wall, but I didn't expect that the layers of obstacles and the cruel reality not only did not make you retreat, but made you more radical.
You are actually playing for real.
Sure enough, all the truths were told in a joking tone. "
Old A put his hand on the glass in front of him, blocking the Eye of Time and Space that was hanging in the air like a purple eye.
He has rarely been afraid of anything in his life, whether in his career as an agent or at this moment, there are really few things that can make Lu Dan fear from the bottom of his heart.
However, at this moment, he rarely retreated.
It seemed that the rotating crack in the sky was like an eyeball that brought fear, or more like a gaze from Mason. When Old A thought that the little guy might soon stand against him, he could feel a slight tremor in his heart.
Neither of them is the type to give up on their own assertion just because they are threatened, which means that the ending between the two is doomed to be bad.
"I'm actually scared by someone who's old enough to be my grandson."
Lu Dan retracted his hand and clenched his fist. After a few seconds, he straightened his collar and turned to leave. As he walked, he sighed and said:
“Young people today are really amazing.”
At the same time, in the same corridor of the same building.
Lord Zeus stuffed the last donut into his mouth, licked his fingers like a funny glutton, and said to himself while trimming his beard:
“Sir Kong Su, please tell our little friend that he has not been exposed after causing such a big incident, and Old A helped him conceal his identity.
But I feel that the boiled egg head definitely has no good intentions.
Also, let my good son Hermes continue to stay there, participate deeply in the children's self-help plan, observe and learn carefully, don't rush back, and see more and walk more when you go out.
Since you have decided to help, then help to the end. It is not my style to withdraw halfway through the work."
The plump king of gods just revealed a bit of his kingly aura, but it didn't last for half a second before he returned to his previous funny look and nodded and bowed to Old A who was walking towards him.
Lu Dan also responded politely but with a sense of distance.
The moment the two passed each other, Fury, who was thinking about something, suddenly stopped and looked back at the golden-armored Zeus. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and made a decision in his heart.
After the destruction of Utopia, the next target might be this disloyal force of gods.
These wavering guys who always try to sit on the fence are a threat wherever they are.
