Chapter 124: The Mysterious Man
No matter how desperate you are, you won't be so casual, right?

"Not long after I started to decipher the Reaper's system, I discovered a newly uploaded ciphertext. Although the text looked like the Reaper's text on the surface, I saw in it a different language from the Reaper's. After analysis, I found that there was a certain pattern implied in that secret text, which turned out to be Caesar's secret. This is almost certain to have been left behind after humans hacked into the Reaper's communication system, after all, whether it is Kryptonians or Reapers, they can obtain our language through various media, but it should not take time to decipher the Caesar Code that even we earthlings rarely use anymore. I translated it and found that it was not a distress signal as I had first imagined, but a reminder specifically for us. ā
"What's the hint?" Not only Stark, but even Carl El, a little shy, was also interested after hearing this.
It's even a hint specifically for "us"? What is the reason for this?
It turns out that the content of the Caesar code code is also quite simple, that is, to tell the deciphered person that since the reaper is a social structure similar to insects, there is a queen worm, so if you successfully pretend to be a queen worm, you will naturally give orders to the reaper's aircraft. The next part of the text is an audio that simulates the instructions of the Queen of Worms, which basically tells the other Reaper Craft to obey the command of the Decipher's Crafts, which is Mr. Fantastic. After the audio, there are several small snippets of Reaper's text. In this regard, the mysterious person who provided the news also gave a note, which was a few simple instructions for commanding the Reaper flying machine. And at the end of the code, the mysterious man also said that due to the passage of time, the cracked audio may be interfered with by the Reaper's fundamentally different communication equipment from those on Earth, and the effect will not be too ideal.
If it weren't for Mr. Fantastic, an earthling, going to decipher the Reaper's text, this cipher would not have been discovered. That's why he's talking about a tip specifically for them. After all, at this moment, the whole earth knows that aliens are invading the earth, and there must be the Avengers who are still trying to resist. And those who have the ability to break through to the Reaper's aircraft and prepare to invade the Reaper's system in turn, the Avengers will definitely be one of them, if not the only one.
Then, as it turned out, the mystery man was right. Mr. Fantastic completed the deployment according to the hints of the ciphertext, and the results were just as the mysterious man said in terms of both effectiveness and limitations.
"Okay. So there is such a guy on our earth, who can decipher the alien text that has no resemblance in just a few hours after almost all the electronic devices on the earth have been attacked, and find a way to use it in reverse? Stark still maintains the calmness on his face, but his heart is quite uncalm. It must have been a woman, and a beauty, a double expert in linguistics and hacking. God, I'm kind of eager to see her. Do you have a way to reverse track her? ā
Mr. Fantastic shook his head, "Unless you give me enough time, maybe." But right now, I haven't even figured out the Reaper's communication system! ā
At this, he sighed. He has always been considered one of the smartest people in the world, and it turns out that he also has this capital. Let's not talk about the various scientific research achievements and patents in his hands. He himself is not very competitive, but on several occasions he has been able to dismiss Stark, Hank the Beast, and Dr. Banner of the Hulk in the Avengers, and sometimes even refute them. But now, a mysterious man has done in a matter of hours or even less what he might have taken weeks to complete, and it feels like he's being suppressed by his intelligence.
It's not jealousy or anything, it's just emotion. The waters of the earth are deep, and he knows this better after gaining superpowers and becoming a superhero. If you have enough time to accumulate and develop, you may not be able to surpass Asgard, the so-called race in the divine realm that considers itself the guardian of the earth. But at the very least, humanity can survive the current alien crisis.
Thinking of this, Mr. Fantastic couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Although it is not good to always rely on others, at the moment when humanity is facing the crisis of genocide, what about the good guardians! In the battle in front of us, even if the mysterious man in the end can completely turn against the Reaper aliens - this is extremely unlikely - it will not be easy to fight. Kryptonians are too strong for earthlings. And don't forget, they were able to defeat those Reapers before, and they still have the life and death of the Reaper "Worm Queen" in their hands!
Mr. Fantastic is worried, but his two companions are deserted.
"Mr. Stark, how do you know this man is a woman?" The future Dachao is now just an otaku who has just come out of the farm (wrong!). It's still simple. No, he asked Stark this question.
Mr. Fantastic shook his head helplessly.
"Of course I don't know. I just thought it would be another threat if it was a man. Stark replied casually, "Okay, let's get down to business, time isn't on our side after all." That planetary modifier, didn't your super dad tell you how to crack it once it was up and running? ā
Karl El was a little embarrassed, and even a little self-reproachful: "He only told me that I could solve it with a phantom drive, and by the way, I exiled General Zod and them too." But as you know, the Phantom Drive has been destroyed. ā
"Of course we do!" Stark said impatiently. He was also a little impatient. "Can't it be fixed? Isn't it just a system......"
The future Da Chao shook his head: "The phantom drive is not just a driver, but also includes the hardware part, which represents the entire foundation of the spacecraft to make space jumps. I don't think we can fix it. ā
Stark stopped talking, but his face was horribly gloomy.
Seeing Stark like this, Carl El blamed himself even more. Speaking of which, this crisis can be regarded as caused by him. It was the Kryptonian gene pool in his body that attracted General Zod to Earth, and then General Zod became interested in the "young" star of Earth, or the sun of the solar system, and wanted to transform Earth into a second Krypton nearby.
Thinking of the sun, Karl El gritted his teeth and made a decision that was very risky for him.
"You get rid of the Reapers here first, or go to the Metropolis to help the others fend off Zord. It's going to be a tough battle over there. ā
Seeing Carl Aire's death-defying look, both Mr. Fantastic and Stark were stunned for a moment.
"What about you? Are you going anywhere? Mr. Fantastic asked.
By this time, Karl El had already risen to the sky, leaving only one sentence.
"The Sun!"
Let's not talk about Mr. Fantastic and Stark, who are even more stunned because of the future superhero "Sun". On the Met's side, the battle was much more difficult than Cal El had imagined.
