Chapter 161: The Other Side of the Void
When Red reopened his eyes, the tiredness had vanished without a trace, replaced by an intense pain that ran through every cell in his body.
However, the thought of facing the endless army of Mandrak is already a blessing to be alive in the end.
"You're awake! I didn't expect you to be able to survive like this, are you really human? β
What came into Red's ears was a hearty little boy's voice, and after Red took a deep breath, he slowly endured the sharp pain and got up.
"Shhh...... So what's going on now? β
"I also want to know that I'm just a little reporter from Marvel Media, and I came here for some reason...... I also want someone to tell me the answer. β
In front of Red was a teenager, the same boy who Superman brought back the Dome at the end, and Red immediately knew his identity when he thought of this.
"Billy Batson? What about the others, how are they now? β
Billy's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Red call out his name, but the kid was still very receptive and immediately replied.
"I'm on this ship...... It should have been in the spaceship, and there were indeed a few people in strange costumes, but Ling was the first to wake up...... Although from the outside, you are almost the worst one. β
Red knew right away how bad Billy had been, he had been almost stripped of his skin, and in many places he could even see the bones under his muscles, but he was now slowly recovering with the help of the red light energy.
Red then looked around, and the Dome's cabin was now a mess, as if it had been swept away by a hurricane.
The body of the Speedmaster lay quietly on the ground, showing no signs of life; Superman collapsed next to the harp, which served as the Dome's console, unwounded but motionless; At the other end of the cabin was the Overlord lying on top of the watcher Kiro Vala, who looked as if he had been squeezed dry, and his whole body was thin; The female monitor, on the other hand, was covered in blood and sat unconscious in her chair.
In the center of the cabin, a shiningly lit page floats silently.
"I've tried to wake them up, but after trying for a long time they didn't respond, and I finally couldn't help but want to lose my temper...... I didn't expect you to wake up. β
Through Billy's words and the current scene, Red also roughly guessed what had happened since he was unconscious last time.
It seems that although they managed to escape from the Prison in the end, they also paid a lot of price for it, and even they themselves were seriously injured due to the depletion of energy and the backlash, but fortunately, Billy's anger replenished Red's energy, thus bringing him back to life.
"So what the hell is going on, and who are you, can you solve my doubts first?"
Hearing Billy's confused look, Red looked at his still recovering body, sat down cross-legged and began to tell him a brief account of what had happened to the Dome.
As Red explained to Billy, he recalled Superman's actions to make the situation so bad, and the rising anger in his heart replenished his red-light energy.
Billy listened to Red's description, looked thoughtful, and then nodded slowly.
"I see, so after I came into contact with that heavenly book, I was shocked by the huge amount of information in it and lost my memory..... It's troublesome, I can't even think of the transformation spell right now......"
"Why don't you try...... Shazam? β
Red, of course, knew Captain Marvel's transformation spell, and the latter hesitated for a moment, then stood up and took a deep breathβ
βShAZAmοΌοΌοΌβ
However, the scene fell into an awkward silence, and Billy shouted again, only shrugged his shoulders helplessly and sat down.
"If what you just said is correct, then it should be Captain Marvel's power that has taken my place to withstand the impact of crossing the multiverse barrier......"
Seeing that Billy couldn't transform, Red felt a little numb in his scalp, and now he was on a lonely boat adrift outside the multiverse, and the only thing he could discuss with was just an ordinary little kid.
Although he escaped from the Thin Prison with his blood, he didn't have a clue what to do next.
The question now is to find a way to wake up other people, but how can they ......
"You said just now that this is the multiverse spaceship Dome...... Steering wheel? β
As Red racked his brains for a way to break the game, Billy walked up to the harp and looked curiously at the strings that seemed to be vibrating slightly, Billy reached out to pluck the strings, but the strings didn't move in front of his fingers.
"That's right, according to them, the multiverse is distinguished by different frequencies, and if you are Captain Marvel, you may be able to bring us back to the multiverse by plucking the strings."
Red sighed lightly, and he walked over to Billy, reaching out and stroking the strings.
To use this thing, it probably takes the super brain of a Kryptonite or the intelligence of Solomon, but none of these things Red has-
Wrong.
Red was taken aback, and an idea suddenly occurred to him.
He took a few steps back, looked earnestly at the huge harp in front of him, and after a moment narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"Billy, look at these countless strings...... Can each of them be seen as an extremely sharp 'sword'? β
"Ahh It doesn't feel right......"
"No, I said yes, that's it."
Red reached out and took one of the strings and took a deep breath.
"How can a sword be such an inconvenient thing!"
The blood-red streaks stretched over the strings, and a moment later the entire string was covered in the power of the red blood.
"Uh-"
At this moment, Red felt himself resonate with the string, and it was as if he could hear a myriad of noisy screeching sounds in his ears.
"Hey, are you alright, your body seems to be shaking."
Billy held up Red, who was about to fall, and the moment they touched, Red vaguely seemed to hear some familiar melody, and he followed his instincts and plucked his fingers on the red strings......
Buzz β
Bang!
At this moment, it was as if a piece of music sounded, and then the entire Dome suddenly shook violently, and stopped as if it had hit something.
"What just happened? ...... the hell we are"
"We've succeeded, Billy, and now we've made it from the void to another universe."
Red rubbed his temples, he felt like his mind was about to explode after just playing a note, and when he turned around, he saw the round hatch at the tail of the Dome slowly opening.
In fact, Red also knew that it was impossible to accurately navigate to a certain universe with just one note, unless Red himself had some connection to that universe, or someone in that universe was specifically attracting Red to it.
Moments later, a shiny brain door appeared in front of them through the circular hatch, looking at Red with a complicated expression.
"I didn't expect you to actually come back, Red Douglas."
Seeing this strange-looking man, Red breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, you owe me a favor, Observer Frog-"
"By the way, your oath of non-interference should not include other multiverses."
