Chapter 1564: The Sun Chaser (Twenty-Five)
Chapter 1557 The Sun Chaser (Twenty-Five)
"Ah?"
Schiller stood there for a few seconds before reacting. He looked at Adam and dug out a not-so-impressive image from the depths of his memory archives, that is, Adam Warlock from the Guardians of the Galaxy.
This character is not particularly unpopular in Marvel, and he has even been mentioned in the Guardians of the Galaxy series of movies. Although he is not as well-known as Thanos, he is occasionally mentioned.
His background story is also very simple. He is an artificial man created by the Enclave Corporation. His abilities are not very special. If he had not become the Adam Living Tribunal during the Annihilation incident, which gave the Living Tribunal a wave of prestige, the discussion would not even be as high as that of the second-tier heroes in New York.
The reason why Schiller thought for a long time before remembering that he was Adam Warlock was mainly because the image of Adam in front of him was a bit different from the image in the comics or movies.
At this time, Adam's cloak was half rotten, and the remaining half was hanging crookedly on his back. There were two big cuts on the chest of the clothes, and the intact parts were covered with dust. His face was full of burnt marks, and the right corner of his mouth seemed to have been punched by someone, and it was bruised and swollen.
More importantly, his expression was mixed with self-abandonment, anger, confusion, and even a little grievance.
Schiller didn't know whether the Adam of this universe had any connection with the Adam Life Tribunal, but he felt that even if it was the warlock Adam, he shouldn't be so miserable, right?
"Hello, Mr. Adam, let's talk about the Pope later. What's wrong with you?"
Schiller was really a little curious. Judging from the fact that Adam was able to break in here and completely ignored the behavior of the Annihilation Messenger, he might really have some connection with the Life Tribunal. In this case, his image was even stranger. Who could make the universe administrator so miserable?
The embarrassed Adam stared at Schiller in silence, with an expression on his face that roughly meant "How dare you ask?".
Schiller coughed lightly, and he looked at Adam and said very sincerely: "I have been staying here for a long time and doing nothing. Do you think that all the troubles in this universe are related to me?"
Adam's eyes opened wider, and the muscles around his eyes wrinkled slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned down, with a condemning look, as if saying "How can you say such cold words with your 37-degree mouth?!".
Schiller raised his head slightly and looked to the side, then said: "Tell me, there is a slight possibility that your unfortunate experience has some non-fatal, indirect, coincidental connection with a small link in a branch of one of my plans."
Adam opened his mouth, as if he had thousands of thoughts that he couldn't speak. In fact, he really didn't know how to explain his series of experiences.
If you want to blame Schiller, apart from the cause, Schiller did not use his subjective initiative to interfere with him. But if you want to blame himself, Adam was using the answer to work backwards, and he messed it up. Doesn't that make him look like a retard?
The problem is that Adam didn't think he made any mistakes in his operation. He would look back at the timeline before doing each operation to make sure there was nothing missing. When he started, the operation was quite smooth and there were no forced mistakes. Even if there was a mess, he tried to make up for it as calmly as possible. How could it be like this?
Is he really a retard?
No one in this world would be willing to admit that he is a retard, and Adam at this time especially needed recognition, so he came to Schiller on impulse.
Schiller made so many big plans, and each time they were perfect successes. Why did he fail?
The more Adam thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He simply didn't plan to explain. He teleported to the door of Schiller's Mind Tower and knocked on the door while shouting, "Schiller! I now officially appoint you as my Pope! Let me in quickly. Don't think I don't know that Konso and Jörmungandr are in your mind. Open the door quickly! Let me in!!!"
Schiller was stunned. How could someone come to slide?
But Schiller still opened the door of the Mind Tower for him. Strange and Whirlpool also entered Schiller's Mind Tower together, and the group went straight to the theater.
Adam took the lead and walked quickly to the first row and sat down. He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. He turned his head and looked at Schiller who was walking down slowly. He felt a little gloating in his heart, thinking that Schiller would definitely not be able to be so leisurely when he saw the chaotic situation in the universe.
But he thought about it and realized that if Schiller really got angry, he and the universe would be in trouble, so he said apprehensively: "Let's make a deal first. No matter what you see later, you must not blow up this universe, or use it to blow up something else."
Schiller said to Adam in a rather unbelievable tone: "Mr. Adam, you must have some misunderstanding about me..."
Adam snorted coldly and said: "I'd better have a misunderstanding."
Schiller sat on the seat to Adam's left, and Strange sat on Schiller's left. As soon as he sat down, he sighed and said, "It seems that during the time we were at the end of time, a lot of interesting things happened outside."
"More than interesting." Vortex's muffled voice came from the back row.
Soon, images began to appear on the projection screen of the theater. It was obvious that Adam began to show Schiller what was happening in the universe.
He did not start from the cause of the incident, so as soon as the screen appeared, it showed the Great Portal Star Zone of the Shi'ar Empire where brains were beaten out.
Schiller was stunned again when he saw this scene, and then he looked at the endless insect nests on the screen with some doubts and said: "Is this our universe? Where do these insects come from?"
"Wait!" Schiller opened his eyes slightly, he compared the pictures in his memory, compared the differences in details, and then said: "This looks a bit like the Annihilation Zerg, who put them in?"
Strange immediately turned his head and stared at Schiller's face. Schiller also turned his head to look at him, and said a little blankly: "Why are you looking at me? I haven't put my plan into practice yet."
"You'd better not."
"I really didn't!"
Strange narrowed his eyes, with an expression that said he would never believe you. Schiller lowered his head and whispered, "I didn't...did I?"
"Schiller!" Strange raised his voice, "Did you let your other personality escape again?"
"Don't make a fuss, they are not that interested in this kind of thing." Schiller answered absent-mindedly while thinking. He glanced at the notebook in his hand again and said with some self-doubt, "I shouldn't have put the plan into practice yet? Could it be that I was sleepwalking?"
"Are you trying to use me as your alibi again?" Strange said very vigilantly.
Suddenly he froze, looked at his disappeared hand, and shouted to Schiller in horror: "You planned this too, didn't you?! Schiller Rodriguez!!!!"
"I..." Schiller choked, and then argued: "Can I still let you voluntarily cut off your hand?"
"Why do you act as if you haven't done it before? Who is not voluntary in your plan?"
Schiller pursed his lips, turned his eyes to the other side, and said: "Whether you believe it or not, it wasn't me this time."
"Then you admit that you did it before?"
"You don't think you are better than Tony Stark, the idiot, in finding out my plan and forcing me to ask about it? Stephen Strange!"
Adam deliberately coughed hard twice, as if to say "Is there anyone who can come and pay attention to me?"
Schiller turned to look at him first and said, "Aren't you going to explain what's going on, Mr. Adam?"
"This is indeed our universe, and what you saw is indeed the Annihilation Zerg, but why did this group of Zerg appear here? We have to start from the beginning."
The picture on the theater screen began to change with Adam's voice, and the light and shadow retreated rapidly, first freezing on Reed's face, followed by Bruce Banner, Betty, Gwen, Peter, Shadow Spider-Man, Nick, and finally Schiller himself.
"This is a complete frame-up!" Schiller slapped the armrest of the chair and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
But the next scene made Schiller silent. After he chased Strange away, Nick said to the draft plan that Eddie had brought over after Schiller revised it, "I'm afraid this is the hint Schiller left for me..."
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Then, Nick summoned a group of murderous Spider-Men such as Shadow Spider-Man to be assassins to carry out the purge he learned from Schiller's event plan.
Finding that Strange's eyes were looking at him more and more unkindly, Schiller opened his eyes and spread his hands and said, "It's obviously Nick who thinks too much. Well, even if his ideas coincide with mine, it's not my order..."
Then the picture froze on George's face again. Because of the appearance of Shadow Spider-Man, Gwen's father George tracked down Schiller's base in Hell's Kitchen because of Huggie's death.
At this time, Strange's expression when looking at Schiller changed to "You still say it's not you?!"
Schiller also frowned. Even if it was a coincidence, it was too coincidental. Did it really go exactly according to his plan?
But the series of events that happened next stunned Schiller and Strange.
George found the clues left by Schiller, but his focus was completely wrong. He found that Gwen might have had a relationship with Spider-Man, but he misunderstood that her former lover was the dead first-generation Spider-Man.
In addition, James, the leader of the black fans, kept talking about Spider-Man's ghost. The window effect made George quickly accept the fact that Peter Parker was the third-generation Spider-Man and was in love with his daughter.
"Is this possible?" Schiller said in surprise.
Strange looked at him and snorted coldly, then turned his head back. His expression and actions clearly said, "Keep pretending!"
What happened next was even more ridiculous. Gwen couldn't stand her father's weird state, so she ran to Los Angeles to meet Peter.
But Stark, who was originally on vacation with Pepper in Los Angeles, fell into Loki's honey trap because he came from another universe, which led to Thor coming to his door. In front of a group of multiverse Spider-Men, the two of them turned into the Iron Devil and the God of Light, and fought in the universe.
And the powerful fighters in the nine kingdoms in this universe always have full special effects when fighting because they have sufficient energy. Regardless of how much damage they actually caused, the light and shadow effects look like they are going to destroy the universe, which scared the Spider-Men a lot.
"Very good." Strange turned his head and looked at Schiller and said, "Your multiverse-level goal has also been achieved. Now, their reputations will spread throughout the multiverse."
