Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 76: Those with style have already defected, while those without style are still making trouble
The flames of war in the Nine Realms have not yet reached the Earth where S.H.I.E.L.D. is located. Compared with the extremely bad luck of the Isu world encountering Unicron, this place that is about to collide with the Osborne Tower world seems calm.
In the four hours since the impact began, the speed force matrices of the two worlds have been functioning well and the magnetic field fusion has been extremely smooth. Under the constraints and protection of the super-strong magnetic field presided over by Miss Polaris, the dimensional gap between the two worlds has been broken, and the world bridge connecting on the material level has also been built.
The next step is to continuously expand the world bridge as the pressure brought by the impact becomes greater and greater, and to create spatial distortion within the world through changes in the magnetic field so that the two worlds can truly enter the fusion stage.
After the fusion is completed, the planet will expand in volume and eventually form a multi-space structure similar to the planet where Utopia is located.
That is, part of the material world will be sent into a special space formed by the distortion of the magnetic field to ensure that the mass of the earth does not expand to the extent that affects the operation of the solar system.
This obviously includes the transformation and flexible application of the spatial system. These advanced knowledge comes from Utopia's bold attempts and technological accumulation in the past seventeen years. It is a black technology that other worlds cannot master in a short time.
However, they encapsulated this knowledge in the world magnetic field generator, so that civilizations using this instrument do not have to delve into its principles, but only need to follow the instructions.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as the operators do not operate recklessly under doomsday, there will be no out-of-control accidents at the stellar fusion level.
This process has been verified several times in Utopia. When the last impact occurred, they had perfectly completed the fusion of the worlds. Therefore, now Osborne Tower and SHIELD only need to copy this process to smoothly enter the second stage.
But the so-called "smooth" is only relative.
In fact, when the two worlds were merging their magnetic fields, the deep space on both sides was very turbulent. The war outside the Nine Realms was just a microcosm, which meant that the SHIELD world was protected by powerful cosmic forces. Unfortunately, Osborne Tower did not have such good conditions.
The Nine Realms system here collapsed several years ago due to the contamination of the source zombie virus, and the evil caused by the Star Society's pioneering war has borne fruit today.
A mighty fleet coming from the depths of the galaxy has entered the solar system. The clarion call of war has sounded and is inevitable.
" Warning Earth! Abandon your dangerous experiments immediately! Your interference with the universe's processes has threatened the survival of the stars. We understand that Earth civilization does not want to be extinct, so we are sending an immigrant fleet to help.
Please immediately terminate your dangerous experiments and open up the airspace, and prepare to board the immigration fleet to other habitable planets."
The warning from that fleet echoed in the main control room of the Osborne Tower. It was a message written in multiple alien languages, but the old Green Goblin who was in charge of the fusion process didn't even bother to read it, just treating it as if the other party was talking nonsense.
He had no interest in responding and even wanted to mock the wise people who sent out the warning letter.
Why didn't you jump out to help when the Earth was hit in the past? Now that the Earthlings want to save themselves and threaten your safety, you jump out to show your presence.
Do you really think we are easy to bully?
"Father, why do they think that moving us to another place will allow this sea of stars to enjoy long-term peace?"
Next to the silent old Green Goblin, Harry Osborn, Mason's engineering apprentice, looked at the final declaration of arrogance in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
The young man couldn't help but ask his father:
"They can travel across star regions. Their technological level must be higher than ours. Can't they observe the collapse of the plane? Can't they understand that this disaster happened on Earth but will eventually affect the entire star system?"
"That's a very bad question, son."
Norman Osborn, with a gloomy temperament, looked at the smooth fusion of the worlds on the projection in front of him. The overall progress had reached 55%. He said to Harry in a calm tone:
“Few civilizations can correctly understand the parallel world system that exists in our universe, let alone use this system to communicate with civilizations in other dimensions. This itself is a matter of very high technological threshold.
Before Mason created the Eye of Space and Time that connected all dimensions, the power of communication was monopolized by the Council of Hope, and it was not easy to get a glimpse of the full picture of the coming of the end of the world.
The impact event is confined to the Earth.
The tragedies that have occurred in the past seventeen years are just insignificant "little anecdotes" from afar to aliens who do not live on this planet.
This resulted in a rather darkly humorous outcome.
The advanced civilizations that can observe the collapse of the plane system have already begun to save themselves. They have no time to care about other things, while the civilizations that cannot understand all this continue with their lives with peace of mind and believe that the stars are immortal.
Only those caught in the middle are the most pathetic.
They knew that the end of the world was approaching but they had no effective solution. They also had no hope that the Council or guys like Mason Cooper would come forward to form an almost impossible alliance to fight the disaster together. They could only naively believe that the earth was a sacrifice to the end of the world.
As long as we can ensure that the earth will collide and destroy when the impact occurs, the risk of collision between planes can be eliminated.
Son, you have to understand that we in this system naturally know that the impact event affects the entire parallel world system, but for other civilizations in each plane, the impact will actually only happen once."
The old green devil sneered and said:
"As long as the Earth dies quietly in the collision, the collapsed plane can continue to exist until the final moment when everything dies.
The truth is very simple to sum up: sacrifice yourself for the happiness of thousands of families.
In this situation, any self-rescue strategy we implement becomes a risky thing in their eyes. They would rather we accept the fate of destruction calmly with a smile on our faces.
Perhaps in their eyes, we are just sacrifices to the cosmic process. Perhaps in their eyes, this kind of self-sacrifice should be noble. "
"I don't understand."
The young man Harry Osborn clenched his fists and said:
"If we can't solve the ultimate problem of the universe's succession, even if we sacrifice ourselves, we will only gain a moment of peace. What's the point of deceiving ourselves?"
“So you are still young and cannot understand those complicated ideas. When faced with something that really exists but you cannot solve it, ignoring it and pretending it does not exist is also a helpless choice.
It might even be a ‘smart’ choice.”
The old green devil snorted and said in a simple way:
"If you have a disease, taking medicine has a very small chance of recovery but a high probability of death, but if you ignore it you can live another ten years, what would you choose?"
"Of course I'll take the medicine!"
Harry replied immediately, and then his father looked at his son as if he were a fool, and said quietly:
“You’ve been away from normal life for too long. If we can survive this time, go to any hospital and stay among cancer patients to ask their answers.
It is not a good idea to think outside of reality, my son."
After saying that, Osborn stepped forward and connected to the K Corps' communication. He said in a low voice:
"Can the outer space defense system be operated?"
"We have sent two Star Destroyer Towers to the Isu World, and now we have five more ready to fire!"
The voice of the vassal army commander Angelina Teach sounded in the communication. She said:
"The foreign fleet has entered the kill zone. Should we fire?"
"Wait a little longer."
The Green Devil said coldly:
"Adjust the Star Destroyer's launch mode to scatter, and open fire as soon as they enter the optimal killing zone!
The various branches of the vassal army are preparing to deal with a large-scale invasion, focusing on defending the area near the Osborne Tower and the various Ark reactors that power the cosmic tuning fork. The Aurora device must also deploy troops. "
"They have all been dispatched, but there are a lot of places to defend, so we need help from other worlds."
Captain Jack, the commander of the vassal army, took over the communication and said to the Green Goblin:
"But the situation in the Isu world is more critical. We have to hold out until the situation there eases before we can get reinforcements."
"It's okay. We can persevere. Wastelanders never lack courage and tenacity. I just hope that you pirates are also ready to make sacrifices."
The old green devil replied:
“This battle is destined to be difficult.”
"When the vassal army was established, we knew what we should do. There is no need to say more."
In the bridge of the Second Black Pearl, Captain Jack was stroking his beloved magic bottle in his hand. He hung up the communication, put the bottle containing the Black Pearl in front of his eyes and watched his ship rise and fall in the water.
Dense spots of light have appeared on the search radar of the aerospace mothership hanging in the sky. They are ground landing craft sent by the extraterritorial fleet.
They are entering the atmosphere in terrifying numbers.
“They are terrorizing us.”
Mrs. Elizabeth, who was standing beside Jack, leaned on the command knife at her waist and said to the silent Captain Jack:
"Does this scene resemble what our world looked like when it was invaded by the Cleaners?"
"It's exactly like that! We lost miserably last time, but this time it's different."
The former pirate captain grinned and placed the bottle in his hand on the shelf on the table next to him. He stood up from the command chair and straightened his clothes. A hint of determination flashed across his handsome but ruffian face.
He said:
"I swore a vow when I left my native land, and now it is time to fulfill it. By the way, has Turner written to you since the last time you contacted him?
Would you like to consider me after this victory?
It's not a good idea for you to stay single forever, so please consider me, as a way to rekindle our past relationship."
Lady Elizabeth kicked the dishonest Jack expressionlessly, but her words had another meaning when they came to her lips. She whispered in her military uniform:
"We'll talk about it after we survive."
"The alien fleet is approaching Mars orbit, and the BFG10000 Star Destroyer is about to launch!"
Angelina's voice came from the ground command station. The female pirate said loudly:
"Local landing forces have entered the airspace, and their flight path is towards Osborne Tower. Prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Bang"
The slide cover of the weapons bay on the upper deck of the space mothership popped open. Without any warning or pre-war communication, the array of ten missiles with red tips were emptied in a few seconds, as if the sky in front of them was set on fire at that moment.
Countless Quinjet fighters continued to take off from the deck of the mothership and the ground airport, as well as the Amazon air cavalry riding Pegasus into the sky and the flying armor of the K Corps' servant army.
They rose into the air from below while golden spaceships in the atmosphere tore through a barrage of fire and rushed downwards. At the moment the two forces collided, five star destroyer towers placed in different locations in the wasteland opened fire at the same time.
The concentrated green energy pierced into the sky, and swept sweeping across the arrogant intervention fleet. The first round of bombardment caused them to lose one-fifth of their array.
Obviously, this kind of star-destroying force that shouldn't appear on Earth is beyond the consideration of these bastards who came all the way to meddle in other people's business.
The entire fleet quickly dispersed after the attack.
They all made the same war decision at the same time. More small spaceships were released to carry out a landing operation to destroy the evil weapons used by the earthlings to destroy the stars.
Coincidentally, the SHIELD world and Osborne Tower are based on the same world template, which means that the enemies faced by the two worlds at this time are also similar, and they are all powerful forces in the galactic civilization circle.
It is said that the cosmic civilizations in more distant places do not have enough time to interfere with the situation on Earth in such a short time. Even for those distant civilizations, the impact may be more like the "little anecdote" that the old Green Goblin mentioned that does not attract much attention.
Alas, the stars are so huge, so huge that this kind of plane-destruction event doesn't seem to be a big deal on this spatial scale.
"You guys barged in so brazenly, are you assuming I don't exist?"
Seeing more alien spaceships flying into the Earth's airspace and starting to bombard the world bridge connecting the stars, intending to forcibly interrupt the fusion process, Miss Polaris, who was manipulating the magnetic fields of the two worlds, suddenly became unhappy.
She is very young.
But she also knew how much so many worlds had sacrificed to make this happen , and she wasn't going to allow these guys to ruin it.
So at a certain moment the magnetic field reversed, and the alien spacecraft that had just entered the atmosphere lost control in an instant, crashing towards a barren land like a meteor shower.
The explosion caused by the fall was like a blooming flower that embellished the wasteland.
"If we only have this much strength, then we can hold on here until the end of time!"
Captain Jack assessed the situation and expressed optimism, but was slapped in the face the next moment.
In the red arc light that tore through space, a fleet of gigantic black sword-shaped spaceships suddenly broke into the battlefield, disrupting the situation in the sky with the simultaneous firing of thousands of artillery pieces. Strange but powerful firepower was also projected onto the ground, targeting the nearest underground Ark reactor.
"Is that the dark elf from the Nine Realms?"
This scene was immediately captured by the old Green Goblin, who said:
"The dark elves of this plane have become extinct along with the demise of the divine realm. Where did these guys come from?"
"boom"
An arc of light flashed and pierced through the dark elves' warship and shattered it. Amid the fierce flickering of fire, Lord Heimdall, the gatekeeper of Asgard, appeared in the fire holding a rainbow sword.
Behind him, the Rainbow Bridge opened, bringing in the last reserve army of Asgard.
"The answer is they are from our side!"
The gatekeeper who could see the scenery and hear the voices of all realms answered during the battle in the air:
"The impact completely opened up the gap between the two planes. These guys couldn't gain an advantage over us when facing the army of the God King, so they came to you and planned to sneak in from behind!
But don’t be afraid, my comrades in the other world.
Asgard is here!
The two worlds unite here, and we will never retreat!"
…
"Everyone is fighting desperately, but aren't we a little too calm here?"
In the Gotham world, the young master who was in charge of guarding important facilities said in the communication:
"I've already prepared for a big fight with the alien demons and the scum from Apokolips, but now it's still calm. The Isu world and Osborne Tower have already started a war. Is it going to be soon here?"
Grayson's concerns are normal. Currently, some members of the Justice League have gone to the Isu world to provide support, resulting in the current defense force being slightly insufficient. The master who stayed in this world is personally guarding the Isu Aurora device in Gotham.
This thing is the top priority in the next stage.
If an invasion like the one encountered in other worlds really occurs, the strength on their side will seem insufficient.
"Don't worry, he won't come!"
In response to the young master, the old man, wrapped in his cloak, said with a firm tone:
“Darkseid is a villain but he has intelligence.
He understands what our attempt means to the starry sky, and it would be a shame for a guy like that to give up struggling and wait for the end of the universe.
If I'm not mistaken, he must be keeping an eye on the Earth and our every move now. The Dark Lord hopes that this fusion will succeed more than we do.
That means he can continue his conquests in the next era..."
"Batman! The messenger from Apokolips appeared on Paradise Island. It's 'Grandma Kindness'. She specifically wants to see you and says she has brought the will of the Dark Lord."
The communication from Wonder Woman of this world interrupted the master's earnest teaching to the young master, and also made the master reveal a fleeting smile under his mask.
It seems he guessed right.
The Justice League will gain a special "ally" at this moment. It is hard to imagine that one day they will stand with a guy like Darkseid.
It is amazing what strange fate a crisis can create.
