Chapter 2136 The Ultimate New World (XVII)
For anyone, this is a very terrifying thing - you are training with Captain America, trying to get familiar with the powerful power you have just gained, looking forward to a bright future, and then you open your eyes and find yourself back in your apartment in San Francisco, and everything starts all over again.
This is not quite the same as time travel. Time travel is at most leaving the familiar environment and accepting a new environment, but now everything is familiar, which makes starting over again more like a nightmare.
How can Bruce accept this?
Even if he is not smart, he can be sure that everything he has just experienced is not a dream at all. Any rational adult will not confuse dreams with reality.
Bruce is not a mental patient at all. There are advantages to being a poor student. At most, he has some paranoid revenge for the death of his parents. He has not lost himself in the day-to-day suspicion and prudence, and has become a pure mental patient like other Batman.
So his sanity is enough for him to judge that he was suddenly reborn. What he experienced was not a dream plot in a bloody horror movie. He actually gained power and was reset back to a weak period.
Who can accept all this?
Think about it, you always feel that you can't do a lot of things, but compared with the people around you, you think this is normal. Who can save a hopeless city with a few years of accumulation? At most, you can take it slowly.
But suddenly one day, you came to a game and found that you in other universes are simply too strong. Yes, other Batmans couldn't save Gotham, but how could Bruce not envy the powerful abilities of himself in other universes?
It is obvious to the naked eye that this is not something that can be honed by experience. Bruce is the least talented among all Batmans. It is useless for him to hone his skills for decades.
This will definitely bring another kind of despair, that is, such a strong Batman can't save Gotham, what's the point of your efforts?
Just give up, it's a dead end anyway, why should I work hard to the end?
It can be said that what keeps Bruce going is his obsession with the unclear death of his parents.
But suddenly, the situation took a turn and he came to a new world. Not only could he obtain powerful equipment through missions, but he also gained extremely powerful strength through the experiences in this world.
Bruce knew that this power was stronger than other Batmans. Other Batmans were strong in intelligence. Great wisdom could indeed bring powerful changes, but who said that a strong body couldn't?
And everything went smoothly. He almost painlessly obtained much more powerful power than ordinary people, and he also had an experienced, kind and upright predecessor to guide him.
There is also a crisis that needs to be solved and many tasks that can gain benefits. It is just right to hone the power and skills he has just acquired. Isn't this all good?
It is conceivable that he will return here after completing his studies and return home. Even if he cannot completely save Gotham, he can at least make this dark city a little better.
Indeed, as long as it is a little better, Bruce doesn't want much. He is not as sick as other Batmans, who have to make Gotham as sunny as Metropolis.
Because he had experienced too many failures and realized that he was a failed man, he thought that it would be good if the parents of one more child would not be shot.
He was about to do all this, everything was within reach, right in front of him, and he just had to follow the plan.
At this moment, time was reset.
How could Bruce accept all this?
If I had never seen hope, then darkness would be acceptable, but not only did I see hope, but I was already on the road to hope, so how could I not try my best to grasp that ray of light?
As mentioned before, Bruce did not think that he gained power because of the spider bite. He also thought it was the desperate virus. Through the memory of the previous reincarnation, he knew that the desperate virus might be related to the water source, so Bruce began to drink water desperately.
Aisha also arrived as expected, but unfortunately Bruce could not accept the gap of hope suddenly falling through at this time. With the attitude of an ordinary person, like an ordinary person, he began to redeem everything in the way he could.
Bruce turned on the tap, drank a bellyful of water, and collapsed on the sofa, waiting for his own mutation.
The mutation did happen, but unfortunately the mutation of the desperate virus was not that strong, and the white can had not started the third round of virus release at this time.
For those homeless people who have always been ugly and thin, the change is earth-shattering, but for Bruce, who already has an extremely handsome face and a strong body, this change is negligible.
After experiencing the change from 1 to 10, how can he accept the change from 1 to 2? Besides, this change is not even 2, at most it is only 1 more.
Bruce was not willing to give up. He remembered his previous experience, so he applied for a job at the construction site again, and rushed out the moment the poisoners arrived at the construction site, desperately snatched the medicine from them, and poured it all into his mouth.
Things got out of control, completely out of control.
The second-phase virus is not so stable, so a lot of water is needed to dilute it, otherwise wouldn't it be enough to sell the medicine directly in white cans?
Bruce mutated into a monster because he swallowed an excessive amount of the Extremis virus, and completely lost his mind due to the side effects of the Extremis virus.
The result afterwards can only be said that we have our own Hulk in San Francisco.
Nick, squatting in front of the screen, quickly pressed the pause button. This is not okay. Although Batman turning into Spider-Man may involve a copyright dispute, turning into a monster is to vilify the image of the other party's important character, which is also not okay.
What else can be done? Let's start over.
If Schiller and the other three were there, they might stop Nick, because repeatedly resetting the timeline is a very dangerous thing. In many cases, the more you go back in time, the less you get the desired result.
But Schiller was busy looking for Spider-Man. He was the person who least believed Spider-Man would commit suicide. Peter Parker would not lose his original intention in any adversity, and he rarely felt depressed or frustrated.
From Spider-Man's previous experience in Gotham, although the language in his diary was very humorous, the details revealed between the lines also showed how dark and depressing the atmosphere in Gotham was. Peter was still very optimistic, and even the Joker couldn't break his defense.
In addition, the zombie universe was already so chaotic and desperate, and Spider-Man could rely on his kindness to forcibly awaken his reason. How could such a person commit suicide?
And there is another paradox. If Peter Parker committed suicide when Bruce just came, then where did Spider-Man, who called to inform Captain America of his death, come from?
It's impossible that he died first, then resurrected, and ran to see the dead Captain America and called again?
There must be something strange about this.
But no matter what happened, Schiller had to get Spider-Man and Captain America out.
When they heard that Schiller might go to Death to rescue someone again, Loki and Strange were worried, because as everyone knows, when Schiller meets Death, it means that he will do something big again.
Loki went back to find Hela and prepared to go to the Kingdom of Death to wait first. Strange followed Schiller and asked him to restrain himself, at least not to do anything earth-shattering during the Doujie test.
Others were not there, and Nick saw that the direction of this timeline was wrong. He had to reset it even if he didn't want to.
So Nick could only cut off the future of this timeline and go back to when Bruce first came.
Now, Bruce returned to the apartment in San Francisco with the memory of reincarnation.
How could Bruce not be crazy? Isn't this God against him?
Other Batmen were born with everything, genius-like intelligence, strong willpower, strong physique, and even a big family with complicated and awkward relationships but still warm, but he had nothing.
Is this fair?
Once people start asking this question, it is inevitable that their thoughts will go to extremes.
Generally speaking, Batman will not be too eager for power. There must be a part of his brain that warns him that too much power means loss of control.
But unfortunately, once a person's wisdom does not reach a certain level, it is difficult to stay rational under temptation.
Bruce has experienced the power of power. He knows how much he needs this power. For his responsibility and mission, he must get it.
Bruce knows that this reset is not accidental. Someone must be blocking something, so he decided not to take the original route and go directly to the experimental center of the Osborn Group instead of going to the construction site to grab the virus preparation.
This time he did not have super power, so he did not get Osborn's special attention, but it was obvious that from the previous two resets, Bruce knew that someone would contact him to obtain information about the Osborn Group, so he told the Osborn Group about it.
Sure enough, Norman Osborn, the old fox, was very sensitive to the fact that someone wanted to steal his group's intelligence. Everything was back on track, and the people of the Osborn Group took Bruce to New York.
This time Bruce didn't have spider sense, and he didn't choose to run away, but chose to face Norman Osborn directly.
As a result, Bruce was wrong again.
He learned from Osborn that the Osborn Group was only investigating the virus in San Francisco. They were not the culprit, nor did they have the original body of this virus, and it was impossible for them to provide powerful power to anyone.
Bruce didn't give up at all, because he didn't have the ability to see whether Osborn was lying, so he assumed that Osborn was trying to cover up the facts, so he didn't tell him the truth.
He was driven out of the building by Osborn, but this time Aisha helped him a lot. Bruce proposed to enter the Osborn Group for a search. Aisha didn't know why he wanted to do this, but she still helped him and helped him cover the security system of the Osborn Group for a while.
Bruce took advantage of the night to enter the building of the Osborn Group. He originally wanted to find out if there was a virus protozoan.
But to his disappointment, what old Osborn said might be true. Although the Osborn Group is a biochemical pharmaceutical company, it has not conducted virus research for a long time.
But Bruce's luck is really good. Bruce did not find the Extremis virus, but he found the symbiote armor, to be precise, the unfinished Green Goblin armor.
Now it's good, Bruce did not become Spider-Man, but his nemesis Green Goblin.
In fact, this is better than him becoming Spider-Man, but the bad thing is that the Green Goblin armor at this time is not completed, and Bruce did not wear it voluntarily, but broke the isolation chamber and was possessed, which caused him to lose control again.
Nick also found that this was not going to work. He saw that Bruce's actions were very strange. It was very likely that his memory had not been reset and he was trapped in the vortex of pursuing power.
However, considering that continuing this timeline might cause irreversible damage to Bruce and it was also an infringement, Nick chose to cut this timeline again and reset everything back to the beginning.
