Chapter 379: Life Crisis
The overall life energy of the human race is slowly but surely flowing towards the ground.
Reflected on the individual, I can't see it at all, it's probably just a few years less, anyway, no one knows how long they can live.
But the pace is accelerating.
And to Oakes' dismay, this is not the case with other plants and animals.
But the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy who are still on Earth, as well as Thor, have this kind of problem!
"Yes...... Only sapient beings will be affected? ”
Oakes quickly noticed this, as he discovered that it was happening to Scul, Hatty, and even Rocket and Groot!
It's just that they, without exception, don't notice it at all.
If it weren't for the complete synchronization with Gaia's consciousness, Oakes wouldn't have noticed this situation at all.
"Damn...... There's something underground, there's really no Deathwing or something! I've just killed a Destiny Destroyer! ”
Gaia's consciousness is perceptually wide down to the surface of the lithosphere, and this kind of thing that can only be roughly pointed at is not helpful at all.
The Guardians of the Galaxy and most of the Avengers are helping Asgard and Nidawi rebuild, and Oakes is alone in maintaining Emerald Dreams' support for Mirror Space—
The wreckage of Thanos' army inside is still slowly being cleaned up, and all the forces involved in this Infinity War are very busy.
Well, even if they're not busy, there's nothing they can do to help Oakes with that.
This time, Oakes is really going to find out the truth of the matter alone.
However, before he could figure out a solution, Malone came to him first.
Under the Holy Oak Tree, the apparition of Maloon manifested beside Oakes.
"Brother, the Gaia mirror shows an abnormal increase in temperatures around the world."
Malorn was puzzled by the global temperature data in front of Oakes:
"This is very abnormal, according to the current trend of the earth's climate, such a rapid change should not occur, especially after our efforts, the climate should gradually stabilize."
"It's not normal...... Wait, this time, between the invasion of Thanos, to be exact, the official success of the Emerald Dream? ”
Oakes' face became strange, could it be that the completion of the creation of the Emerald Dream will also cause the temperature of the earth to rise?
What a reason!
"Yes, brother, and when the Thanos Army arrived on Earth, the change reached its peak......"
Malorne couldn't figure out why:
"The mirror space will not affect the real world, it is so powerful inside, there is indeed no movement in the real world at all, but it is obviously not normal in it."
"What has changed with the appearance of the Emerald Dream?"
Somehow, Oakes suddenly thought of the human life energy flow that he had discovered earlier.
But the appearance of the Jade Dream should greatly increase the life energy!
Could there be any connection between these two things?
"Has the direct cause of the temperature rise been found?"
Oakes frowned and looked at the data in front of him:
"Is it solar activity? Changes in the composition of the atmosphere? Vegetation issues? These parameters of Gaia's consciousness only began to change after the temperature rose, and it should not be their changes that caused the temperature to rise! ”
"Yes, brother."
Malorn hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"I have done various calculations before, and I found that the influencing factor with the highest probability should be the temperature rise caused by the anomaly of the earth's core!"
"Core?!"
Oakes' eyes froze, although Gaia's consciousness perception could not extend there, the scientific community still had the means to measure the temperature of the earth's core.
"Continue to investigate, even if the earth's surface is washed by a nuclear bomb, it is difficult for the core of the earth to have problems......
Oakes froze.
He inexplicably remembered the scene when he and the Guardians of the Galaxy first arrived on Titan.
At that time, everyone was amazed by the remains of the wreckage of Titan and the desolate and dilapidated scenery.
Star-Lord had a small instrument to detect the planet's environment.
The data from that instrument showed that Titan was 8 degrees off its axis of rotation and that its gravity was chaotic, and it was not supposed to be what a living planet should be.
"Titan, it's definitely not because of the extinction of resources and the extinction of civilization that it fell into that way."
Oakes thought of his conversation with Thanos during Infinity War, and his face became serious.
Only if there is a problem with the Earth's core can it be possible for a living planet to become like that.
And now, there is a very good chance that something is wrong with the Earth's core.
Although Thanos did not affirm, he did not deny the question raised by Oakes -
Did the Titan Star be destroyed by the Celestial Group!
A cold sweat appeared on Oakes' forehead.
"Malorne, continue to investigate and determine the situation in the core."
Oakes ordered in a deep voice:
"In addition, closely monitor the anomalous changes on a global scale - the life energy of intelligent beings on Earth is draining underground, and I suspect that this has something to do with the problem of the Earth's core!"
"What!"
Malorn was taken aback, no wonder Oakes looked preoccupied for a while, it turned out that such a serious thing had happened?
"I'll do it right away!"
A month passed, and under Malorn's close surveillance, some discoveries were finally made.
"Brother, it's almost certain that the change is caused by the increase in the temperature of the earth's core......
This phenomenon is also consistent with the fact that most of the local parts of the world with temperature anomalies are located in the interstitial continental plates.
So this morning's global earthquake is likely to be caused by this. ”
Seeing that Oakes was already exhausted from using the Mind Gem continuously, Malone couldn't help but persuade:
"Brother, you'd better take a rest first......
"Continue to report, today's earthquake is too strange, although the consequences are not very serious, but the scope of impact is too large......
Both the Avengers and the Society of Humanity are involved in the relief effort, and we must figure out why. ”
Oakes let out a sigh of relief, he'd been trying to explore the mysteries of the underground all this time, but he couldn't—
Compared to the underground, space is the field that humans now know more about.
"Yes...... In addition to earthquakes, Arctic glaciers are showing signs of accelerating melting.
In the northern glaciers of Alaska, USA, a very faint breath of anomalous life was found, like ......"
"Like what?"
Oakes frowned, he had been paying attention to the underground all this time, but he didn't care about it.
"It's like Eternals."
Oakes' eyes widened.
"Eternals?!"
If this matter has anything to do with the Eternals, then the core anomaly and the Celestials ......
"Didi ......"
Oakes was stunned for a moment, and a message popped up on the hologram in front of him.
News arrives from Matt of the Americas branch of the Humanitarian Society, and the Eternals ask to see Oakes.
"It seems...... It really has something to do with the Eternals! ”
Oakes stood up, Earth time should be late at night now, Zhuke this guy is coming at this time......
"Malorne, I'm going to meet this old friend...... You reach out to Tony and Steve and tell them what we've found-
If this is really what I think, then this time the threat to Earth is even more terrifying than Thanos! ”
“…… Yes, brother! ”
……
Little Rainforest, speaking of which, Oakes hasn't been here in a while.
"It reminds me of Amazon."
When Oakes saw Zhuke, this guy was drinking acorns and eating snacks, and he still looked like the big boy next door.
"Long time no see, Zhuke."
Oakes smiled, stretched out his hand and shook it with Zhuke:
"You've been missing for so long, and now you've finally figured it out, about your Eternals' mission?"
"More than a month ago, you did a big job."
Zhu Ke looked embarrassed, and his eyes were full of disbelief:
"I learned about it by chance from S.H.I.E.L.D., and after digging deeper, I found out that you ...... Actually protected the entire universe without us knowing it! ”
“……”
Oakes raised an eyebrow, although Coulson was responsible for the leak, he also understood that if Zhuke, who had the ability to control minds, wanted to investigate, there was nothing he couldn't find out.
"We don't want to make a big fuss, and you have nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D."
"There have been some strange people on Earth recently, and the Rainbow Bridge has come so often, although as an Eternal, I won't meddle in things other than mutants, but I still need to know what I need to know."
Zhu Ke shrugged his shoulders as a matter of course, and his face became serious again:
"Also, this morning's earthquake made me feel that something was not right...... So I went to S.H.I.E.L.D. to find the fastest plane and consulted with one of my companions.
But the result ......"
He knocked his head a little dazedly and smiled bitterly:
"I can only hope that you will be able to do miracles again."
"What the hell is going on?"
Oakes' complexion was a little difficult to look at, something that needed a "miracle" to solve, this ......
"Could it be that the Celestial Group is going to hit the door?!"
“……”
Hearing Oaks say this, Zhuke's face became strange.
"This ...... Probably a little more serious than that. ”
After all, an internal blast is a bit more serious than an external attack...... Right?
"Can you come with me?"
Zhu Ke saw that Oakes looked like he wanted to strangle himself, and hurriedly waved his hand:
"My previous philosophy, you know, I've pretty much given up on humanity...... But all these years of observations, including the incident a month ago, made me change my mind.
But I didn't expect that my companion would learn the truth decades ago, and only now that he ......
Anyway, I've told him about your efforts, and maybe you should have a good talk with him. ”
"The truth of your mission has something to do with this earthquake, even the Celestials, and the upcoming catastrophe?"
Oakes patiently listened to Zhu Ke's words, and his eyes were cloudy.
After a moment, he sighed:
"Well, who is he and where is he?"
"Among our Eternals, one who is proficient in science and technology, the early scientific and technological progress of human beings on Earth is inseparable from the guidance of this person."
Zhu Ke's face was a little complicated, after all, the last time they met, he was complained about by Oakes, and the civilization that was guided by the Eternals did not end well.
However, in today's globalization of mankind, the consequences are a bit terrible......
"He's Festos, in Chicago."
