"I am touched that you remember me. It's tragic that this timeline has memories about me, isn't it? But I have to thank you for a study that I learned a secret and gained a great power. ”

Victor von Doom, his body suspended in mid-air, spoke. The familiar energy fluctuations turned into magical elemental light, swimming flexibly beside him, and those rays made the four of Reed feel mortal danger.

"Psionic energy!" No matter how reluctant he was to admit it, Reed, who saw this scene, still couldn't help but feel a kind of depression.

"You know that, too? It seems that I didn't have time to clear the trouble and ran away, and I did hide in your timeline to look at the psionic fluctuations around me, he seems to have made a lot of small moves here, doesn't he? Doom felt the familiar energy fluctuations around him, and his tone was full of surprise.

"What are you talking about?" Reed didn't know what Doom was trying to say, but he was still keen to use his inquiring words to attract the other party's attention, and used his brain to quickly think about the next way to get out, or the arrangement of the fight. He didn't think that his actions and motives could be concealed from Doom, after all, the other party was also a smart person, but he knew Dum well enough, with the other party's conceit and arrogance, even if he saw his purpose, the other party would go along the way. It's like a cat playing with a mouse.

As it turned out, the psionic energy gave Doom a great deal of confidence and conceit, which made him more and more unsightly. Especially when he saw Reed, who had overpowered him in many ways, he was happy to follow the other party's thoughts. He was eager to see what else the other party could do to stop him.

"A person who, like me, doesn't belong to this timeline, who belongs to another world. It's the world where psionic energy resides. He should have died, but he seemed lucky to have survived, and he hid here and quietly built so many industries and technologies. Is that Harry Osborne? You guys are working for him now? Then he's really unlucky. Doom's words made Reed and the others look at each other with consternation in their eyes.

"Why, I'm surprised I know this?" As if to see Reed's astonishment and confusion, Doom's voice sounded appropriately: "Psionic powers are far more amazing than you think. It seems that Harry Osborne is not a person involved in the core technology.

Look at the old technologies that should be phased out, and look at the thin chaos of those psionic powers. Are you just using it as energy? This will limit your horizons and prevent you from gaining a deeper understanding of your Spiritual Abilities. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Ben Graeme, who had a rock-like body, said sullenly, looking at Doom, who was approaching them as if he was unprotected, and his fist-clenched palms were a little jumpy. He is not a man of violence, even though he has far greater power than humans. But he will not give up his advantages and strength at a critical moment to protect his friends or others.

"Isn't it obvious what I'm trying to say? Psionic energy can not only be used as a kind of energy, it is also a good recording medium, as long as I have access to the surrounding psionic energy, as long as I master the corresponding method, I can access all the information related to its records.

For example, its origin in this world, the people it has the most contact with, and everything that happens in its area, they can even act as a supercomputer to deduce what will happen next in a certain area.

Right now, for example, I know you'd love to punch me when I'm near, and Reed's brain is vilely plotting another attack on me. I can even get a glimpse of the power and strength of each of you.

This is an alternative way of foreseeing the future, which can also be said to be omniscient. Doom paused in front of the four Reeds, and his tone was elongated, full of mockery for the four.

"It's a god's talk." Ben Graemm and Johnny Stone, two people who don't deal with each other very much on weekdays and don't look down on each other, show quite a tacit understanding at this moment.

Ben's muscular body leaped high and struck the iron mask that was close at hand.

Thunderbolt Johnny was shielded by the other party, and instantly released the huge energy in his body, and the whole person turned into a fire man, releasing his latest mastered trick in the direction of Dum, high-temperature spray.

Fireballs rained down like magic around Ben's bulky body and landed where Johnny remembered Doom was. The boiling flames raised the temperature around them by several degrees in an instant.

Susan Stone almost subconsciously used her telekinesis to release an invisible transparent layer of defense for herself and her boyfriend Reed, so as not to be burned by the rushing heat and even put her life in danger.

"You're still so stupid, Ben. I don't want to use that word to describe you, but forgive me, I now feel that there is only that word that can match your actions. ”

Ben was shocked to find that the punch he swung out was suddenly met with some kind of sluggish resistance, as if it were striking in cotton, and the further forward he went, the faster the power faded.

Johnny's instantaneous high temperature of several thousand degrees did not play its due lethality, and they were directly absorbed and erased in the air.

"Maybe I didn't tell you, but I used to learn a lot of magic, but of course, most of them are like crazy fantasies of madmen without the right energy, and they are useless.

But now it's different, I have the energy to support them, just like humans have electricity. A whole new world is unfolding before my eyes. ”

Dum's voice rang out slowly, and he seemed to enjoy the surprised look in Reed's eyes, which made him want to talk a little more at the moment. Of course, this exuberant desire to talk quickly becomes boring. If Reed can't show his eye-catching skills again, Doom doesn't want to waste any more lip and tongue on the other side.

The power he now has can be called similar to a god in human cognition. Maybe before he officially became a god, he still had some interest in the person who had repeatedly made him deflated before, but if this person could not show the strong resistance he should again, then soon, this obsession would quickly fade. In his heart, the four of them are no different from those ordinary people or insects.

The reason why he stayed here now and didn't go to Harry Osborne in the first place was because he wanted to catch up with Reid and the others in this timeline. He wanted to see how much resistance Reed, who was always technically omnipotent, could resist now.

But right now, it seems that he did expect too much from Reed. After all, he came suddenly, and the other party simply didn't have time to use technology to resist him in a targeted manner. And the abilities of the four on the other side may be strong enough for ordinary people, so powerful that they are incomparable, but in his eyes now, they cannot constitute a threat to him.

"The power and abilities you can possess now come from psionic energy, right? But what if you lose your psionic powers? Do you still have the confidence you have now? ”

Before Doom could make his next decision, Reed's voice, accompanied by a few humming sounds of the machine starting, fell to his ears.

Several drones quickly appeared in the sky and circled over the area where the four people were. At the same time, Doom felt that the psionic energy around him and the psionic energy in his body suddenly appeared, and there was a sluggishness and subsidence. The feeling and power of omnipotence were also leaving him.

Ben's fist, which was frozen in mid-air, suddenly regained its mobility, Ben's fist subconsciously forced, a fist larger than an adult's head, and suddenly smashed heavily into Doom's face, and the iron mask on his face also made a dull sound under this force. Doom flew straight out of mid-air and rolled twice on the ground.

"If you're really the Doom of this timeline, if you're really omniscient with the help of psionic powers, then you should understand that Reed has always targeted backup technology. After all, I've had enough of those accidents over the years, and I hate accidents and dangers. Reed peeked out of Susan's loose protective shield and spoke.

"With the technology you invented, did you disturb the surrounding psionic energy and cause it to enter a certain [vacuum]? Amazing technology! Doom stood up from the ground, as if Ben Graeme's fist, which was powerful enough to smash a man's head, hadn't really hurt him, and the distorted iron mask on his face, like memory metal, quickly returned to normal before the eyes of the four Susan.

"But your technique has never been perfect, Reed! It can only work, but there are bound to be surprises. Under the voice of Doom, the drones in the sky fell one after another as if they had been cut by sharp weapons. The surrounding psionic energy is converging towards this [vacuum zone] again. But Doom doesn't need them anymore, he has his own source of energy, and the tall giant gate not far behind him is providing Doom with a huge amount of power.

"No!" Reed cries out in frustration when he sees his drone destroyed. This is one of the cards he secretly built with Osborne Industries' equipment to deal with today's operation.

Doom's appearance disrupted his plans.

What puzzled Reed was that it was clear that the other party had temporarily lost the link to psionic energy, but what method did he use to destroy the drone? Looking at the drone that has been cut into pieces, it is clear that it is some kind of unbelievable loot. You know, the drone uses a special alloy metal that he researched in Osborne. It combines strong toughness and hardness.

In other words, according to the previous test of the strength of these alloy metals, it should not be much difficult to cut the body of the drone so easily.

Especially now he didn't know what kind of weapon it was, or if it wasn't some kind of cutting at all, like a laser or something.

"It's some kind of energy creature!" Before Reed could figure it out, Susan panicked and gave an answer. The telekinesis that spreads out of her body is like a sixth sense extending from her body, so in her [vision], she sees the culprit who destroyed the drone.

It was a group of shadow-like beings that blended perfectly into the night and darkness. Yes, it's life! Because Susan sensed the fluctuations of life in them.

"Where are they?" Reed asked subconsciously.

"In the shadow of Doom!" Susan was quick to give the answer she had observed. The black irregular form of life, after destroying the drone, quickly fell back to the ground, and then merged into Doom's shadow along the ground.

"Be careful, Doom he's not normal right now!" Then, as if observing something, Susan's voice reminded Reed of them in a panic.

"Of course I know he's not normal, can a normal person be like him?" Ben roared, trapped in the air again by a force that resembled a rock statue. He had an infinite amount of strength, but when he touched Doom, he seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, bound in various ways.

Johnny, who had risen from the ground in the form of a burning man, only dared to maneuver quickly on the periphery, and a voice seemed to tell him that if she dared to approach Doom, the end would be quite miserable.

"What I'm talking about is abnormal, it's that his life form has changed dramatically from us. Or rather, he's more mutated than we are. At least we still maintain our human form, but he has become another life. Susan took two steps back in horror, looking at Doom with a look of horror and horror in her eyes.

"Isn't he, in human form, just like us?" Looking at Doom's body, Reed asked a little dazed as he stepped forward to comfort the frightened Susan.

Susan didn't answer, but Doom applauded.

"It seems that you have always been the sharpest of them all." Doom looked at Susan, who was looking at him with a horrified expression, and a smile was strangely twisted into the iron mask.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Dum's body began to expand, and then there was a violent distortion, under the green robe that was torn by the skyrocketing body, the ugly body was exposed to the air, fine, like fluffy fine tentacles, swaying in the air with the wind, and the other party's shadow was like a group of demons dancing, writhing and dancing happily on the ground, as if it had its own will, doing movements completely different from the body.

"I've evolved! Imbued with psionic energy, I was able to transcend the limitations of humanity. I have gained immortal life and great power. The price is, I'm no longer a man! ”
