Chapter 31: Confronting the Mysterious Man

Gordon: "(Read the news) Yesterday afternoon, the head of the Magnus family, [Eric Magnus], hosted a banquet at the Magnus Palace to entertain the Waganda royal family who had come to the island of Keio to attend the "Victory Day" celebration, during which they had a cordial and friendly conversation with T'Challa the Black Panther and Her Royal Highness Queen Auroro (Ororo_Munroe...... House of Magnus?Temple of Magnus?...... Magneto!! you betrayed me!!! You still helped you save your daughter, and you repay me like this......" - gritted his teeth and muttered to himself

Mystery Man: "Yes, what do you think of the man, how did you find such a partner as him in the first place." "-- Leng Buding was interjected and picked up

Gordon: "Who's !!" - looking around for the source of the sound, but only hearing the sound and not seeing the shadow. Stealthily take out the drawer key and try to retrieve the weapon from the drawer

Mystery Man: "Save it, everything around you has changed since the world has been modified, for example, there are no weapons in the drawer of your desk......" - a "person" wearing a hooded cloak slowly emerged from the floor in the middle of the office

The cloak and hood were unusually large, and they were printed with black and white stripes, like those on a zebra's body, which played a role in visual deception, making it difficult to see the inside of the garment from Gordon's position.

Gordon: "(opening the drawer as he discerns) Phantom form? spirit body?...... (As the mysterious man said, there are no weapons in the drawers, only office supplies such as staplers) and the witchcraft defenses in the countermeasure room building are also gone?"

Voice of the Mystery: "Now this is the [Disaster Risk Reduction Committee] building, not the countermeasures room, so naturally there is no ...... for those things" - he took off his hood and looked directly at Gordon

Gordon: "...... Al?"—recognized

Mystery Man: "Yes, it's me." ”

Gordon: "Why are you like this? Your body ......"

Mystery Man: "I can only keep my spirit before [Annihilation] affects Gotham City, and my body can't be retained at all." ”

Gordon: "(mistaken for annihilation is an adjective) spiritual...... Hmph, how can a person have a spirit, without hardware, he can't even leave a program, how can he appear in front of me as a spirit like now...... Should I call you Ka Al? ”

Ka El: "...... Whatever you want to call it, anyway, now is not the time to dwell on these things, we must catch Magneto, force him to explain Wanda's location, and then kill their family!"

Gordon: "Kill their family? Do you think that killing their family will restore the world to its original state? You can't be so naïve? The universe has been completely restarted by Magneto. If you kill his family only out of revenge, then you don't have to do anything, just watch him reap the consequences, and he himself will perish step by step......"

Ka El: "No, you're wrong, the universe wasn't restarted by Magneto, the world we're in is an illusory world similar to the mirror, not the main world, and things can still be saved." And we must not wait and see his demise, because it will only be our plan that will be delayed in the end. ”

Gordon: "Ah, this world is like a world in a mirror, no wonder there are hurricanes in the winter (January), and there are eight ...... in a month You say Magneto didn't restart the universe, and it's only our plan that will end up in the end? What does all that mean?"

Ka El: "This qiē starts with the diary of [Agatha Harkness]......" - explains to Gordon the cause of the incident

Gordon: "In other words, this qiē is the ghost of the supreme of the universe called [Annihilation]? is it to use this illusory world to consume the energy of the [Supreme Cube] in order to prevent us from restarting the universe?"...,

Ka El: "Yes, when your Supreme Cube is drained by Annihilation, and you and I can no longer restart the universe, the world will return to its original state." ”

Gordon: "And the reason why [Annihilation] didn't kill me is because I'm different from the previous bosses who were destroyed by him, and I'm still only in the stage of "thinking", and he can't shoot directly due to the rules. As for fulfilling my wish in the illusory world, it is to numb my spirit and prevent me from resisting. ”

Kar El: "You're so right! Actually, not only you, but other powerful people have also been cared for by [Annihilation] in different ways. [Annihilation] In order to prevent them from rebelling after awakening, their wishes were more or less fulfilled. --Repeatedly nodded in affirmation

Gordon: "How do you know...... You checked it while I was sleeping?"

Ka El: "Yes." ”

Gordon: "No, it seems that Magneto has benefited the most, the whole world has been dominated by the mutants he leads, they are the leaders of religion, politics, and culture, and ordinary humans are pressed to the bottom by them, [annihilation] is too good for him, right? I still want to be the president of the country!"

Me (voiceover): "I knew the old guy you had other wishes than to resurrect your wife, and this is revealing you, right?"

@

Kar El: "It's possible that Magneto made some kind of deal with [Annihilation], don't forget, he was the one who led you into a trap, and he wouldn't have done it without any benefit." ”

Gordon: "Then what he did was also a loss-making deal, and it could only be cool for a while." Only after the [Supreme Cube] was squeezed dry by [Annihilation] did he know that he had been deceived, and the rules in our world were not binding on [Annihilation]. ”

Kar El: "At a time like this, you're still thinking about Magneto, and he's betrayed us!"

Gordon: "I'm not thinking about Magneto, I'm thinking if I can use this to make him turn against [Annihilation], he now controls the most power, can mobilize the power of the whole world, with his help and cooperation, it is much better than the two of us alone, at least don't force him into a hostile side." ”

Kar El: "Mobilize the power of the whole world? You better learn the history of this world first! Magneto has not unified the whole world and become the supreme king of this world, at most he can only be regarded as the leader of a huge consortium, let alone he can believe me. ”

Gordon: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't believe in the two of us, he believes in science, we can find a way to prove it...... Huge conglomerate?"

Ka Eyre: "China, the United States, and the Soviet Union plus Keio Island. ”

Gordon: "What about Europe, Central Asia, Africa, and so on?"

Ka El: "After the dissolution of Aegis and the Illuminati, Dr. Miè took advantage of the destruction of Europe, and now it is his territory, he became the "Lord of Europe", Central Asia and North Africa fell into the hands of the [Apocalypse Monarch], and Central and Southern Africa was annexed by Waganda...... It's too long, I won't talk about it, but you should take some time to read the history of this world first...... This is part of my spirit body, and you eat him so that you can get in touch with me anytime, anywhere. I'm going to the United States, and there's still work to be done......"

Me (voiceover): "America, how did you get to the other side of the world? It's too big, isn't it? What can you do over there?" ”
