Chapter 705 U: Infinite Events (Twenty-Four)

Time goes back from the future to when Schiller successfully came to the Kingdom of Death.

While Death was busy solving Schiller's problem, that is, busy making overseas harassing calls to Lucifer, Schiller was not idle either. He kept selling to Death in her ear.

Although the main purpose of both parties was to win at this point, Schiller was idle anyway. It would be good if he could develop one more customer, so he began to do everything he could to talk business with Death.

Death ignored him completely at first, but as Schiller changed various negotiation strategies, Death began to be slightly moved. Although he pretended to be completely uninterested, he still listened carefully.

Schiller became more excited when he found that Death seemed to be shaken. Face-to-face sales were different from making phone calls. Schiller could use various gestures, graphics, and even PPT and proposals to fully explain to Death how advanced his cooperation methods were.

Soon, the two entered into a fierce bargaining phase. In fact, this phase was the most difficult. Both sides refused to give in, constantly testing each other's bottom line, and then adjusting their own bottom line, engaging in a long tug-of-war.

They were eating and talking about business in the Kingdom of Death, which was very peaceful, but there were some problems on the OAA side.

Death kept making harassing calls to Lucifer, and Lucifer kept making harassing calls to Marvel. OAA itself has the responsibility to maintain the smooth operation of the universe. Obviously, constantly accepting harassing calls does not fall within the scope of smooth operation, so he must find a way to hang up the phone.

OAA wanted to smash the phone, so he handed the task to his subordinates, and the subordinates handed it to the subordinates of their subordinates. After layers of outsourcing, the little brother of Galactus, Silver Glider, became a fat sheep to be slaughtered in the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies.

Hearing that Silver Wing Glider and Galactus behind him wanted to apply for platinum membership of the Sanctum Sanctorum, Loki personally went to the battle, the conditions were negotiated, the contract was signed, and the only thing missing was the money. But at this time, Silver Glider said that he would report the budget to Galactus for money.

But Galactus was very hungry and wanted to eat anytime and anywhere without vomiting. This was probably the most difficult boss to ask for a budget in the entire universe, and Silver Glider had no way to dig energy out of Galactus's teeth.

Silver Glider could only report it to the higher level. Fortunately, the Living Tribunal was quite generous. After the budget was approved, Color Glider successfully applied for platinum membership of the Sanctum Sanctorum.

Loki was very happy. The transaction amount of this order was equal to his busyness this year, and Silver Glider was also very happy. In his opinion, it was not his money, and he could easily find the target. This mission would definitely be easy.

But at this time, Loki gave him bad news. According to the information told to him by Frigga who was present at the time, Schiller was dead.

When Silver Glider got the news, he was dumbfounded. As far as he knew, his mission this time was to find the target and let Galactus swallow the planet where the target was. But now that the target was dead, what was the point of Galactus going there?

Silver Glider didn't know whether someone had eliminated the target before him or something unexpected had happened. Anyway, the target was dead, so his mission was completed. So he went back and told Galactus the news, and Galactus told the Living Tribunal.

When OAA learned that Schiller was dead, he was also confused. The phone was gone, so why didn't the harassing call hang up?

After checking, OAA found that it was because Schiller was dead that the call didn't hang up.

However, because the ongoing operation of death was related to some existence on the DC side, OAA couldn't judge what the principle was. He only knew that he had to revive Schiller first, and then he could find out whether the harassing call was because Schiller was dead.

However, OAA also represents the readers and the editorial department. He is the supreme will of the Marvel Universe. In the setting of the supreme will, all those who have said "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility" will die.

In other words, this is actually the will of the comic readers and the will of the editorial department, which is reflected in the comics.

The so-called "Spider Curse" is actually that comic readers like to see the process of Spider-Man's growth, and the way the editor reflects this process is to write his important relatives to death.

The side of OAA that maintains the smooth operation of the universe requires him to revive Schiller and check what the harassing calls are about. However, the side that reflects the will of readers and editors requires him to let those who have said "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility" die.

If the several sides of OAA can talk to each other, then what happens may be like this:

"It is my responsibility to maintain the smooth operation of the universe. I said, I will revive Schiller and then hang up the phone!"

"It is my responsibility to implement the will of readers. I said, Schiller said that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, so he must die!"

"He can't die. I'm going to hang up the phone!"

"He must die..."

"He can't die..."

"He must..."

"He can't..."

In short, on the question of whether Schiller can die, there is a small bug in the OAA program.

Of course, this level of bug is impossible to cause the Supreme Will of the Universe to get stuck. A good program has the function of self-detection and emergency braking.

And for OAA, the best solution is to restart.

Of course, it is not a restart of the entire Marvel Universe, nor is it a restart that rewrites all the background settings of the characters, but simply rewinds the time of the single universe and resets all causal relationships to the time point when there is no problem.

In short, by rewinding the file, the program where the bug occurs is erased, and then through some interference from OAA, the development process of the single universe is deviated from the possibility of the bug, which can completely solve this problem.

Schiller in the Kingdom of Death was holding a contract, pointing to the place at the end of the contract, and said to Death: "If there is no problem, just sign here, according to the conditions we agreed on before..."

Death read the contract again, and after confirming that there was no problem, a pen appeared in her hand, and beautiful cursive words fell on the paper.

But just when she finished writing the first letter, she felt something strange, and Schiller also heard some strange sounds.

The two looked up at the sky at the same time. Schiller didn't know what Death saw, but he found that a strange starry sky suddenly appeared in the sky of the Kingdom of Death.

This starry sky became larger and larger, and it was getting closer and closer to Schiller. Schiller squinted his eyes and took two steps back. He had a bad premonition. Just one second before the starry sky swallowed him, he shouted:

"No!!! My contract!!!!"

Instantly, there was only silence in the Kingdom of Death.

And Schiller was surrounded by a bright starry sky. He found that all the light spots around him were moving forward rapidly, or in other words, he was moving backward rapidly.

In the endless stream of stars, he saw countless universes that were disillusioned like bubbles. Endless universes passed by him, and all the details that happened in them were clearly visible.

A person chose to drink milk in the morning, and a universe flew past Schiller. A person chose not to drink milk in the morning, and another universe flew past.

Infinite choices constitute infinite possibilities, and infinite possibilities become infinite universes. Every single universe in the multiverse represents infinite possibilities at infinite time points.

Countless strange things flew past Schiller. All these things are independent universes. Everything in this infinite universe is the universe.

Milk is the universe, chairs are the universe, cats are the universe, dogs are also the universe, a person's thoughts are the universe, and a dream is also the universe...

As time flows backwards, cause and effect are reset, and the single universe where Schiller is located is restarted to the time point when it has not yet contacted the multiverse.

Schiller suddenly woke up from the bed. The bedroom in Arkham Sanatorium was very quiet. The lights of thousands of houses and the bright starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window did not reduce Schiller's sleepiness.

Reaching the base of the Spider Army through spider induction, learning the so-called spider curse, using the spider curse to go to the kingdom of death, and then inducing death to make harassing calls to Lucifer... All of this seems like an absurd dream.

When waking up from the bed, there is always such an illusion, as if everything that happened before was a blurry dream, but Schiller knows that it is not a dream.

Looking at the wall clock next to him, according to the date and time on it, in two minutes, the spider silk will contact him through spider induction.

Time passed by minute by minute, and when two minutes came, the familiar "buzzing" sound did not come.

The spider silk did not contact him, the spider totem did not respond, the development of things deviated from the original track, and the possible program errors were reversed.

Schiller looked at his hand, where there should have been a resurrection contract signed by death, which was his symbol of victory and the trophy he deserved.

But at this time, with the reset of cause and effect, everything disappeared without a trace.

Schiller took a deep breath and sat up from the bed. He remembered the endless universe he saw when he just experienced the restart of the universe. In the gap between time reversal and cause and effect reset.

Everything is a universe. Cats are the universe, dogs are the universe, dreams are the universe...

Dreams... are also the universe?

As the moonlight dimmed, Schiller's figure was reflected on the smooth glass of the floor-to-ceiling window. A dangerous and crazy smile slowly appeared on his face.
