Chapter 686: Gathering and Preparation
Monitor, satellite.
The Watcher's setup is complete, and the centers of both multiverses are under the protection of his vibration towers. The Shadow Demons that invaded both universes have been dispelled. At least for the time being.
And now, the heroes who have completed their missions have been resummoned back to the location of the Watcher satellite, and have gathered in front of the Watcher.
"You have fulfilled your mission. Ahem, I knew you could do it. ”
The watcher sat in his chair, still looking like he was dying.
"We've done what you've said, and the shadow armies have indeed been repulsed. But I think it's time to tell us the truth. Captain America said, "Who are we up against?" Who are our opponents? ”
"Don't worry, Captain, I'll tell you everything."
The watcher took a deep breath.
"Everything. It doesn't start with the world as you know it. In our multiverse, in the universe that the higher beings call the 'Origin Universe', there is a place called 'Oua'. ”
Hal was taken aback: "Oua? ”
After all, Oua is already his territory at this time.
"Yes, but long before you take over, Jordan the Lampman. At that time, the earth was just a cold gas, and there was no possibility of anything becoming what it is today.
At that time, Oua was not as familiar to you, and it was a place full of hope and infinite possibilities. The Eurosabians are like gods to most civilizations in the stars, and they have lived in peace longer than they remember.
They possess powerful psionic abilities and cutting-edge technology, which they have cultivated to heights that are difficult for people to reach today.
They had lived in heaven, perfect in mind and body. Based on my previous observations, such a world could have slackened and civilization reached a state of stagnation. But that didn't happen in Europe and Afghanistan that year.
However, excessive development has prompted further curiosity. Curiosity and a desire to explore have given rise to certain immortals who use the power of technology to satisfy their twisted desires. ”
Hal who was familiar with this history immediately reacted: "Carona? ”
"Yes. The Eu-Arabians had already discovered the warning in their earlier research, and they had learned that the origin of the universe was absolutely taboo. 'Once anyone finds out the truth about the origin, the existing universe will collapse' is a rumor that has been circulating within Europe for years.
But Caronna ignored this and opposed the ban. He saw the origin. Or rather, just a snippet of it. In the void before the birth of all things, there was only a shadow, like a big hand holding a cluster of stars. Then before he could know more, disaster struck.
Although it didn't lead to the end of the universe as the legend suggests, it did create something new.
The universe shuddered, and the evil antimatter universe took shape. More importantly, however, the universe split into the multiverse. The whole pluralistic system of positive matter, and its counterpart, antimatter.
And at the center of that mass of antimatter, something older and more terrifying than the universe itself has awakened. It's called Anti-Watchman. ”
The crowd looked at each other.
"So. That guy is called 'Anti-Monitor' and then your name is 'Watcher'. Iron Man said, "I guess, you were originally a pair of brothers who loved each other, and then suddenly turned against each other and loved each other?" ”
At the same time he glanced at Thor: "No offense." ”
Thor: "."
"We have been opposites of each other from the very beginning, and we were born to balance each other. Or at least for as long as I can remember. The watcher said, "The forbidden exploration of the O-Arians awakened the demon god of destruction, and as if the balance mechanism of the universe was at work, I also sensed his power and awakened.
The Anti-Watcher has been accumulating power in the antimatter universe and is constantly creating his armies. Like the ones you've all encountered, the Shadow Fiend army.
There's another elite group, and I'll call that legion the 'Thunderers', just as the Guardians have their own Green Lantern Legion.
With his army and his never-ending ambitions, he began to invade the world of positive matter. I fought him as hard as I could, and it lasted for millions of years, until at one decisive point we exhausted each other's strength and we both fell into a coma.
And then it went on for tens of billions of years."
"So this thing has actually been in our multiverse all along, but it has been dormant before." Superhuman, "Then why now?" Why do you wake up suddenly? ”
The Watcher shook his head.
"I don't know. But what I could feel was that he wasn't the same as before. "We've been fighting for millions of years, and no one should know him better than I do."
But this time, although I was also awakened by the universe because of his awakening, I could feel that I was weaker than ever. On the other hand, my brother is stronger than ever. I could barely stand up to him.
If what I expected was good, he should have gotten some other help. There was something I didn't know about being from outside the multiverse that I knew of that gave him unknown energy.
If we don't do something about it, he might get stronger.
That's why I've organized you, the heroes who represent the cores of the two universes, and the strongest forces of the two universes."
He stretched out his hand and swiped it, and a virtual projection appeared in mid-air.
In the void of the universe, a suspended ruin, as if it was once the wreckage of a community of countless civilizations that had been destroyed millions of years later.
"There, the antimatter universe, a place that has long been dominated by anti-monitors." "My device can only stop him temporarily, but it can't be delayed for too long.
At this very moment, the anti-monitors must also be trying to break through the cosmic barrier to this new universe where we are.
I can't risk a new world being targeted by him again. That's why I'm about to unleash the full power of both universes to attack there, the base camp of the Anti-Watchers, the Land of the Dead in the Antimatter Universe. ”
The watcher gasped. He seemed to try to get up from his chair, but he didn't have any of the strength left, and after failing the attempt, he sat back in his chair again in vain.
"As you can see, I'm powerless to fight." He sighed, "As you know, all the universe is ruined, and if you don't stop him, everything will cease to exist.
But I'm not going to force any of you, because the odds of surviving this battle are really not optimistic. So, you decide for yyourselves. ”
The two teams looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.
Captain America was the first to break the silence.
"Well, before we begin. Does anyone want to get out? ”
There were seconds of silence again.
Then Hal took his arm and smiled lightly, "Seriously? Do you really need to ask? ”
