32. Regression
"I don't want to argue with you about whether Loki is good or bad..."
Cyber looked at Heimdall, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes: "I don't want to argue with you about what is justice and what is justice. ”
"An exiled prince colluded with foreign enemies to attract a large army to attack the earth and try to enslave this planet, as an earthling, killing him is what I should do, if you think I did something wrong... If you think I have trampled on your so-called dignity and so-called kingship in Asgard!"
Cyber hooked his finger at Heimdall:
"Here, kill me!"
Heimdall, dressed in a golden helmet, clenched the heavy sword in his hand, and for a moment, he really wanted to swing his sword and slash at it, but in the end, he resisted the idea.
He had a heavily armed legion, but there was also on the other side.
There is also a group of heroes on the opposite side who can stop an invading fleet with a dozen people, and he, no.
"Bastard! Loki is dead, but Thor has always treated you as a friend!"
The irascible Volstagg waved his tomahawk and shouted at Cyber, "We also treat you as friends, look what you've done!"
"That's why he's alive!"
Cyber threw out a blunt sentence: "I could have killed him directly, but I saved his life, didn't I?"
This sentence blocked Wostagg's mouth, debate has never been a dwarf's strong point, and even in Wostagg's heart, he felt that what Cyber said did make sense, because he also hated Loki.
"You shouldn't have killed Loki, Cyber. ”
The female general Sif glanced worriedly at Thor who was sent to the battleship for treatment, and she turned her gaze to Cyber: "You have caused trouble for yourself, Odin will not just forget it, you can punish him, you can torture him, but you can't only kill him, he is still nominally the prince of Asgard, and the king of the gods will even start a war because of this." ”
Heimdall continued:
"At that time, you and your world will have to face not only the garrison from Alfheim, but all the armies of the Nine Kingdoms will come together, with all my respect, you may have seen the fleet of the Zetarians, but the legions of Asgard are stronger than it, how can you and your civilization stop all this?"
"Huh"
Cyber sneered, and he stared at Heimdall:
"Then tell me, what did Odin ask me to do a few months ago?"
The gatekeeper's face changed drastically, and Cyber's grim voice came again, this time only in the voice that he and Heimdall could hear:
"Go back and tell your god-king that I have no intention of going to war with Asgard, but if he doesn't give up and wants to pay for the death of a psychotic and madman, I don't mind taking Asgard with him to be buried together, what is Loki's life history, you and I both know that the so-called prince identity is just a deception to the layman... My sanity is already tired, and I desperately want it to take a break, really..."
Heimdall's face turned extremely ugly, and after a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"I'll tell the God-King everything you say, and it's his business to decide... Seber Hawke, don't be stupid, Hela can't be trusted!"
"If you push me into a corner, I'll grab every straw..."
Cyber closed his eyes and waved his hand:
"Go back, no one wants to see Hela reappear, he doesn't want to, I don't want to, leave one person to receive the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, I'm going to use it to do the last thing. ”
"Lift the blockade and let them go!"
Cyber commanded, Lewis picked up the communicator, and said a word, the Sky Breaker in the sky slowly retreated, giving way to the entrance of the Rainbow Bridge, and a brilliant pillar of light fell from the sky, including Heimdall and his fleet, and the light shone brightly, and the situation that was tense just now was quiet in vain, and the female general Sif stayed on Earth as a representative of Asgard, waiting for the return of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
"Clean up the battlefield, take everything you can use, and wait for us in Mexico..."
Cyber turned back to Lewis and nodded:
"I'll bring them all back. ”
After saying that, his eyes fell on Black Bolt King and Medusa not far away, he glanced at them, and then at Sif :
"Let's go, let's go to Gotham. ”
Five minutes later, the golden portal opened on the shores of Gotham, and the last time the energy riot of the Cosmic Cube completely changed the ground and mountains here, turning it into a miserable valley floor, and the sea poured in, forming a small lake with a psychedelic light, which looked very beautiful, but the price of the change was that the land was full of strange energy.
In the past 20 days, at least 7 explorers who are not afraid of death have been lost around this lake, which is full of light belonging to the chaotic space, waiting for natural evaporation, and it will take at least 10 years to recover, and as the dimensional barrier becomes more and more broken, this terrible environmental change may even be permanent.
Cyber threw the Cosmic Cube in his hand to Strange, grabbed his shoulders and whispered:
"Don't have another problem this time, Gotham can't afford to make another mistake. ”
Doctor Strange nodded, leaned down and began to draw a huge space circle, and said without raising his head:
"Don't worry, I'll check it 3 times this time... No, 5 times. ”
"This was once a city?"
Supported by the crystal, Medusa carefully surveyed everything around her, looking at the wreckage of the 14 ocean bridges to land that had been cut open and left in place, and she whispered, "It still looks like a big city." ”
She turned her head to look at Cyber, who was sitting cross-legged on the beach:
"I haven't said thank you yet, Overlord, for freeing me and my husband, and our people, from the eternal slavery of the Hive, you are the savior of the Inhumans. ”
"I'm not, I just killed a madman, fulfilled our agreement with the Crystal Girl, and that's it. ”
Cyber looked at the calm sea in front of him and whispered:
"You have a good sister, Your Majesty, and my sisters are not so disobedient compared to her. ”
Crystal smiled happily when she heard Cyber praise her, Medusa also patted her sister's head in a doting way, and behind him, the tired Black Bolt King also smiled, and the husband and wife used their hearts to clarify each other's minds, and finally Medusa spoke:
"The Inhumans will follow the pact made between the Crystal and Mr. Charles, and we will pass on to you the method of activating the Inhumans from the Terrigan Crystal, but we don't want this method to leak out, and thank you for retrieving the four crystals for us. ”
Medusa paused, accentuating her tone:
"From now on, unless there are special circumstances, Inhumans will be Utopia's best friend, and in the name of royalty, we hereby make a promise. ”
Cyber wasn't too happy, he just waved his hand:
"What you need is much more than just getting rid of the hive, what you need is a change in social civilization, of course, this is your internal matter, I don't interfere, I want to talk to you about another thing. ”
He beckoned to the Black Bolt King and Medusa, and the two Inhuman supreme rulers hesitated for a moment, walked up to Cyber and sat on the edge of the cliff, looking at the calm sea in the distance, and then they heard Cyber say:
"Inhumans aren't ready to live in harmony with human civilization, are they? It is said that you never wanted to join human civilization?"
"Yes, that's right. ”
Medusa said in place of Black Bolt:
"In the ancient tradition, this is to avoid the loss of young Inhumans, and with the progress of the times, we have found that the self-destructive tendency of human beings is becoming more and more serious, although we are also from humans, but this does not mean that we have to pin our hopes of reproduction on human hesitation, so Attilan has been away from human society since then. ”
"You're right, we never wanted to fit into this civilization. ”
The Black Bolt King, who had escaped the control of the hive, returned to his previous silence, and in the face of Medusa's statement, he nodded in agreement.
"Very good, about the same as I thought. ”
Cyber snapped his fingers: "Humans are the most xenophobic race, from this point of view, Inhumans and mutants can stand on the same side, we are natural allies, although there is no obstacle to the establishment of utopia at present, I must leave them one last way back... I have a different world in my hands, and I can share it with you, at least until Attilan is repaired, and you don't need to worry about being surrounded by humans..."
"A world?"
Medusa looked a little puzzled: "Is this a symbolic statement, or is it a realistic statement?"
"The latter!"
"With just one last process," said Cyber, "I can turn it into a habitable world with no other race coming back to bother... That's where my ideal utopia really exists, and of course, I'm just suggesting it, and you'll see it for yourself soon, and you'll be able to prove it when the time comes. ”
"And at what cost?"
Medusa asked, and the Black Bolt King's gaze was also fixed on Cyber, and in the face of this inquiring gaze, Cyber shrugged:
"Now that you've chosen a new home, it's only natural that you have to do your part to protect it... That world is very large, the diameter of the planet is one-third larger than the earth, it is impossible to explore the whole world by relying on mutants alone, I am willing to share it with friends, and I also need friends to help protect it, maybe we can form a joint government such as mutants and Inhuman Federation, and then it will be okay for us to mess up the earth..."
"That would be a, real, new world!"
This sentence silenced both Medusa and Black Bolt, and it was obvious that such a major matter could not be decided immediately, so after a few seconds, Medusa spoke:
"We need time to convince the Ministers of Parliament, but if we can see with our own eyes what you describe, it may not be a big problem, as you said, natural allies in the face of humans, Inhumans and mutants. ”
"Okay, I'll give you time. ”
Cyber nodded, and behind them, Strange put the Cosmic Cube on the glittering circle, and the crystal stood aside, watching this scene curiously, accompanied by the complex spells and handprints of Doctor Strange, the entire circle was fully activated, and the next moment, the power of the Cosmic Cube was extracted and poured into the circle little by little.
The scarlet light shone in the sky above this sea, and the spatial seal that Loki blessed on this sky through the Cosmic Rubik's Cube was unlocked little by little, and the rift between the demon world and the present world appeared on the sea again, but the current Gotham is far from the original city.
Through a layer of scarlet light, Cyber could even see that it had been cut through the perimeter and turned into a hexagonal city, a dark green halo of magic shining above the city, providing it with the power to levitate, and the uneven foundations below the city were reinforced in layers, shining with the light of steel.
It's like a broken city glued together with steel and magic, the entire area of Gotham is only one-third of its original size, and the rest is corroded little by little in the void wind of the spatial rift.
"Look, that's all Loki left us! ”
Cyber stood up, clapped his hands, and pointed to the dead city in front of him that was moving out of the spatial rift little by little, and Schiev's eyes widened at this moment, she had no idea what Loki was doing on Earth, and now it seemed that Loki... It's really a dead death.
With his left hand on the shoulder of the female general, Cyber whispered:
"Go back and tell your king everything you see, and if he thinks that the life of his adopted son is more noble than that of 300 earthlings, then let him come, I may not be his opponent yet, but I believe that once the war starts, the surviving warriors in this city will be more than willing to give all the suffering that Loki has brought to them, multiplied by ten times, and return it all to your Asgard!"
"Yes"
Sif was speechless, only nodded silently.
Cyber looked back at the city that had broken through the spatial rift and appeared in the skyrim, and at the edge of the city, the members of the Devil Gang and the survivors stood there cheering.
Some people throw their hats into the sky, some kneel on the ground in gratitude, and many more just roar loudly, without any meaning, just to vent their frustration and joy.
Catherine, Emma and the girls were chattering on the Pegasus Ruogan, the first city to break out of the sky, Ruogen also seemed to yearn for the bright light and air, it screamed and flapped its wings, carrying the girls through the sky quickly, Cyber waved at them, he looked up at the higher reaches of Gotham.
There, Batman dressed in black stood on a stone pillar, his wide black cloak shrouded his body, like an all-pervasive silent defender, his eyes also saw Cyber, the figure disappeared at the top, a black bat, slowly falling into the city.
Cyber knew it was him saying hello... He did everything he promised him, and he kept the city on the verge of destruction well in Cyber's absence.
"Gotham... Home... It's back!"
