Chapter 1424: Return of the Old Days (Twenty-Three)
The sky above Helheim is always covered by thick dark clouds. The sky has also become very clear under the power of thunderstorms, but this time these dark clouds are actually man-made illusions.
Hidden behind the dark clouds is the outpost base for this operation. Of course, if you just go down to fight with fists, you don’t need any base, and it doesn’t have to be built in the underworld, but the role of this base is not just to station troops, its biggest role is still scientific research.
"Alaina, how is the expansion of the portal? Do you need another unit of energy?" Standing in front of a mirror, Strange turned around and shouted, and another great wizard standing in front of the window to infuse energy into the M'kraan crystal shouted: "Two and a half units of energy are needed. When will Peter come?"
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" At the end of the corridor, Peter Parker hurried over, wearing glasses and carrying a schoolbag. He looked like a high school student who had just finished school, but he actually came from Stark's most advanced laboratory.
He took out a paper from his bag while running, waved the paper and said to the wizard: "Don't rush to give energy, let me put the equipment down."
"Quick, quick!" Peter shouted to the robots behind him: "First measure the readings of the surrounding environment, and then deploy the equipment."
Seeing the robots flying down step by step, Peter quickened his pace and came to Strange. Strange handed him a glass of water. Peter took a few breaths and said: "The monitoring and recording equipment of Kamar-Taj is too backward. Such precious data cannot be missed."
Strange smiled at him and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Peter, you also know The technology of large-scale portals is not achieved overnight. We are very lucky to have a large-scale portal like the M'kraan crystal that connects two universes for our research. By the way, have you seen some technical information that Mystique brought back from the Shi'ar Empire? "
"Of course I have." Peter and Strange walked out of the door together and said, "It is also with these technologies that I wrote a paper on portals and inter-universe channels. Oh, by the way, I have to go down and collect some field data later.
Strange stopped and looked at Peter with a serious face and said, "What information do you want to collect on the spot? Peter, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should also know your importance. If anything happens to you in my hands, Tony will never let me go!"
"I was just about to ask, where is Tony?" Peter asked with some confusion.
"Who knows. "Strange shrugged and said, "That day when I called Stark Group, it was Pepper who answered the phone. She said that Tony received a call that day and ran out in a hurry. I don't know where he went, but you don't need to worry about him. Let's talk about your own business."
"I'm not going to the front line. I plan to go behind the M'kraan crystal to see how its energy is condensed. Seeing it with my own eyes cannot be replaced by data on paper."
Strange hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Okay, you can go down, but I have to let the mutants go with you, otherwise it will be too dangerous."
Peter spread his hands without comment, then scratched his head, as if he suddenly remembered something and said, "Then you must tell them not to touch my equipment, that's very important. "
After a while, the mutants were ready. When they heard that Peter was going to study the M'kraan crystal, they were more active than Strange. Magneto, Phoenix and Blink accompanied Peter.
Peter had taught classes in the Andromeda Galaxy for a while before, and got along well with the mutants. Peter and Blink walked outside while chatting about college. When they were outside the base, they looked down through the dark clouds and said, "
"Who isn't?" Jean Grey came up, smiled and patted Peter on the shoulder, looked back at Magneto, who was still serious, and shook his head. Magneto waved his hand lightly, and several people floated up and flew towards the M'Kraan crystal that was still spitting out superhero monsters.
At this time, the superhero monsters who kept dying and resurrecting on the battlefield became more and more irritable.
Captain America threw out his shield with all his strength. The shield drew a beautiful arc and broke the leg bones of four or five skeletons, knocking them away at the same time. The skeletons scattered all over the ground, and within a second, they reorganized into four or five skeletons, and then continued to surround Captain America.
The monster Iron Man flew in the air and bombarded wildly. The skeletons on the ground had no way to deal with him, but the skeleton army also had air combat units. In addition to the skeleton birds that looked like prehistoric giant eagles, there were also skeleton pterosaurs, shadow crows summoned by skeleton wizards, and endless magic missiles, causing his flight route to be constantly disturbed.
The battle suit worn by the monster Iron Man was not advanced. It was even in the single digits in the ranking of the Mark series, and he had not developed the later iron battle suit army. He did bring a lot of arms, but unfortunately, this thing was not very useful to the skeletons.
Spider-Man's situation is even worse. The Spider-Man in this world is just a street hero. Although his strength and agility are indeed among the best, and his spider-sense is still usable, it is really useless in the face of this kind of human wave tactics.
"When will Thor and the others come?" Monster Iron Man roared, "We need a large-scale attack to crush these skeletons!"
"He'll be here soon!" Monster Captain America shouted.
"Hurry up, I'm going to die again!" Monster Spider-Man wailed. There were at least five or six skeleton swordsmen surrounding him, and he was really overwhelmed.
Spider-Man bent down and dodged a shield. The spider sense was ringing wildly. He rolled on the ground quickly to avoid the kick of the skeleton swordsman. With a roar, he punched the shield in front of him and flew away. When he looked up, he saw several figures flying through the air.
"It's their people... Quick! Infect Magneto! Wait, who is that? Peter Parker?" Monster Spider-Man screamed, and then gritted his teeth and shouted: "This damn coward!!! I will tear him apart with my own hands!!!"
Peter, flying in the air, watched with interest. Sure enough, he found the golden and red figure among a group of skeletons.
"Can they be saved?" Peter asked hesitantly. Although he knew that the superheroes in this universe had completely turned into monsters, his conscience still made him feel sad when he saw his friends turned into monsters.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, Peter." Jean Grey patted Peter's shoulder, shook her head and said, "This kind of madness is very polluting. We must ensure our own safety first. The soulless undead warriors are just one of the means."
"Okay, but I still feel a little strange."
"Of course, I understand your sadness." Jean Grey took a step forward to comfort Peter, but Peter shook his head and frowned and said, "No, that's not what I mean. Don't you think they are a little...weak?"
Peter crossed his arms and observed carefully for a while. At this time, the golden and red monster Iron Man was dodging the flying skeleton units in the air while charging his hand cannon, and then took the opportunity to launch missiles and blow up several skeletons.
Peter showed an extremely confused expression and said, "What on earth is this Iron Man doing? Where is the compressed EMP generator in his left arm armor? When would he use electromagnetic weapons to clean the ground? What on earth is he blowing up???"
Grey followed Peter's gaze and looked down. Although she did not understand mechanics or modern warfare, she could see that the missiles were not efficient enough against these skeletons. The explosion could indeed scatter the skeleton warriors, but it could not completely destroy the skeletons. Many of the skeletons that were blown away solidified in mid-air, which was equivalent to working in vain for a long time.
"Maybe the Iron Man in their universe didn't research this kind of thing." Flash speculated.
"But what about his flight trajectory?" Peter was still confused. He said, "The speed of this calculation is comparable to that of the computer in the university computer room... Wait, is he manually controlling the mecha? Where is Jarvis?"
"The information sent back by Riley said that this kind of madness cannot infect the machine, and in the beginning, many robots formed the resistance army, so they completely distrusted any intelligent life. It seems that the intelligent life in their universe has been almost wiped out." Jean Grey explained.
"Isn't this self-destruction?" Peter shook his head and stopped talking.
Soon, they flew to a place close to the M'Kraan crystal portal. The intelligent robots that Peter had put down before were already flying around to monitor the data, but because they had invisible functions, the monster superheroes who were busy fighting didn't notice them at all.
Peter needed a place to stay, so he controlled two robots to appear, and then began to build a platform. Soon, a small metal platform was suspended on the top of the portal. After Peter landed on the platform, he first deployed the shield and then began to move the jacket equipment.
Now most of the equipment related to the construction of the Mercury base has been compressed. Peter put all the compressed equipment into a business card holder. When needed, he can just look for it like a business card.
"I think I may need a pair of goggles, and then a field of view conversion device... The light is a bit strong, so a shielding device should also be needed."
Peter muttered while throwing out business cards. Soon, several small devices stood on the platform. Several mutants didn't know much about technology, so they just guarded around the platform to ensure Peter's safety.
After observing for a while, Peter raised his head and said, "I want to observe the two energy nodes at the bottom, is that okay?"
"Avoid getting close to them." Magneto's tone remained flat, but he could hear a little worry in him. Flash immediately added, "The information Riley gave us said that looking directly into their eyes would drive you crazy, so we set up the outpost at a very high place. It would be terrible if we were controlled."
"I'll just go down for a while, take a look and leave, isn't that okay?" Peter said further. He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Okay, we won't land, but will float in the air about ten meters above the ground. It's really too high here, and I can't see anything clearly."
Jean Grey wanted to persuade them, but Magneto waved his hand gently, and the metal platform slowly descended. At this time, more and more superhero monsters below began to become excited.
They were really fed up with these skeletons who would not die or go crazy. They wanted fresh flesh and blood and more madness.
The most urgent and hungry one among them was the monster Spider-Man. He vowed to infect himself in another universe first, and then tear him apart with his own hands. His head was full of crazy and violent ideas, so he had no time to care about anything else.
Peter was squatting next to the instrument, observing the energy flow through a special vision, and suddenly a figure flashed in the corner of his vision.
Peter straightened up and looked into the distance, and then saw a familiar red and blue figure rushing over in an extremely violent posture.
"Spider-Man?" Peter narrowed his eyes, and then he found that this isotope from another universe seemed to be coming for him.
Peter wanted to stand up and roll up his sleeves, but soon he felt that he was pressed in place by the magnetic field. Magneto glanced at him coldly, and his eyes probably said "You continue."
Magneto's black cape fluttered in the wind. He stretched out his hands and gently raised them. Within a few kilometers around, countless metal weapons used by the skeletons all vibrated and flew here from all directions.
As soon as the monster Spider-Man took off and pounced towards here, he felt something under his feet. He looked down and found that it was a steel runway formed by countless weapons squeezed together.
He accelerated forward and wanted to jump over before the front of the runway solidified, but soon, the runway bent upward until it became a circle - yes, Magneto built a hamster wheel.
Watching the monster Spider-Man running faster and faster in the wheel, until he was out of breath and had to grit his teeth to continue running, Peter slapped his forehead. Compared with watching other superheroes, watching another self make a fool of himself was more shocking.
Just as Peter sighed and wanted to focus on the device, the chat room in his mind suddenly received a private message from the Amazing Spider-Man of the main universe.
"Hey, Peter, thank you for the technology you provided before. We stabilized the 'cosmic fault' for a while, but our universe has experienced too many wars and is on the verge of its limit. I'm afraid that within a week, the cracks in the cosmic fault will officially open."
"You said that your place has been invaded by that weird crazy universe, and they also said that they are targeting us, so do you have any good suggestions for us?"
"Oh, please don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to help, but since you have already fought, I should be able to get some enemy intelligence from you to avoid being in a hurry when they attack."
"I heard that endless madness has strengthened their military power, is that right?"
After listening to the private message, Peter looked up at the monster Spider-Man who was tired and started to stick out his tongue on the hamster wheel, and said in a slightly hesitant tone:
"I don't know whether their military power has been increased or not, but their intelligence is indeed... a little unwell."
