Chapter 134: The Day of the Past and the Future (2)
"Already. Three, three, thirty seconds, Reed's "Invisible Woman fell to her knees limply, her eyes out of focus, staring vacantly ahead, with nothing but confusion and exhaustion in her eyes.
Long hair scattered across her face like a withered golden reed.
She had exhausted all her strength, pushing her telekinesis to an unprecedented level, doing her best to maintain the existence of the shield, but her body had reached its limit and could not support it at any time.
Luckily, she has just succeeded in activating the dimension generator placed in Franklin and Valea's room, creating a pocket dimension to hide her children.
That way, even if she and Reid don't hold on, the children have a chance to live.
Reed remained focused on debugging the machine, his fingers moving deftly across the control panel, his eyes fixed on the flow of data on the monitor.
Although the building was crumbling at the moment, and the debris and stones around him were constantly falling, he felt as if he was in his own world, his lips even moving, silently calculating various parameters and possibilities.
Now is not a good time to disturb Sue, in fact, a minute and a half has passed, but Sue's consciousness thinks that only thirty seconds have passed, and she should be allowed to hold on for a while.
With another bang, the building shook heavily, as if the whole world was shaking, this time the shaking was even stronger, the building seemed to be constantly shaking, and the air around it was full of oppression.
The tall Hulk mech in the corner of the wall also shook slightly, but finally stood there majestically and did not fall.
"Good! I fixed it! ”
Reed suddenly screamed in surprise and operated the machine with both hands, thankfully the time oscillator and the time sleigh were repaired by him.
Hearing this, Susan's eyes rolled and she fainted from exhaustion.
She reached her limits, both physically and mentally, but in the last moments before she fell unconscious, she once again unleashed a powerful telekinesis to repair and strengthen the building's already fragile shield.
There was no time to care about his wife's state, and the rubber man immediately flicked to the console, his fingers nimbly operating on the buttons and controllers, ready to start the time sled.
At the same time, he did not forget to reach out and grab a small metal box, which was a high-tech item kept in the Baxter Building.
Inside, there is the original Captain Marvel's minus bracelet, a knife from the mutant spirit butterfly, and even the ultimate eraser.
"Hum—"
Suddenly, a column-like oscillator in the distance floated out a cloud of colored matter. The mass of material emitted a strange light, colorful and colorful, as if it were a cloud of iridescent dancing in the air.
"That's it."
Reed's eyes widened, and he immediately recognized that it was not ordinary matter, but a crack in time.
While it may not be appropriate to describe a temporal rift, at this moment, it is the only word that can express the strangeness and complexity of the mass of colored matter, which is distorting the space around it, like a portal to other planes.
The appearance of the temporal rift may be a coincidence, or it may be the intervention of some unknown force, but either way, this moment is a huge variable for them.
In the two seconds that Mr. Fantastic was thinking, the time rift suddenly spread out into a flat shape.
In the middle of this plane, a figure is faintly visible rapidly approaching, and the comer appears in the illusory edge of the rift in time, the outline blurred.
Could it be Kang the Conqueror?!
There are multiple variants of this 31st-century Richards descendant, but any one of them is extremely dangerous, and he has always been one of the top enemies in the superhero world due to his ability to travel through the timeline repeatedly.
Now, if Kang comes, it will make matters worse.
Reed was startled, and his left hand immediately touched the combination lock on the small metal box, and he was about to open the box and take out the Ultimate Eraser, now is definitely not the time to be soft.
Just as Reed's finger was about to hit the switch, a voice suddenly sounded, "Stand up, Reed Richards, I'm not your enemy." ”
A powerful wave of repulsion surged out of the figure and hit Reed's body with the words.
"Whew!"
He was caught off guard, let out a cry of pain, and the whole person was hit by the impact force like a fallen leaf in the wind, lost his balance in an instant, and flew out upside down.
But Mr. Fantastic didn't rest on his laurels, he subconsciously used his abilities and softened his body to soften the impact.
The small metal box fell out of his hand and fell into the corner.
At this point, the figure emerged completely from the crack in time, wearing a suit of protective clothing, his face obscured from seeing, and holding a very high-tech looking pistol, from which I am afraid that the repulsive wave was fired just now.
In addition, there is a pair of double blades pinned to the waist, which looks by no means good.
Reed slowly stood up, his eyes full of wariness, "Who are you?" ”
As he spoke, he looked without a trace at the metal box thrown in the corner, and at the invisible woman Susan who had fallen to the ground in the distance, and now he was on his own.
"Who am I?" The man in the hazmat suit tilted his head, and without hesitation, he grabbed the little robot that was grabbing him behind his back and threw it out.
Helby immediately floated in the air, making a buzzing sound, its mechanical eyes flashing as if analyzing its surroundings and situation.
Reed was surprised to see the round robot, his eyes widened in surprise, "Helby? Didn't you just be set to shut down by me? ”
Helby didn't answer Reed's words directly, but trembled slightly, and made a mechanical sound, "Abnormal environment detected, Baxter Building has not experienced forty-three years of rust and damage. ”
Mr. Fantastic was a smart man, and he immediately understood the origin of the man in the hazmat suit in front of him and Helby, who had traveled from forty-three years later, judging by the wear and tear marks on the little robot and what he had just said.
"Long story short, it was my fault to beat you just now, but now I have to take that metal box and time sleigh from your hand." Bai Ye in the protective suit said lightly.
"You have failed, forty-three years from now the world has been ruled by the wicked, and the Devourer of Planets will come to Earth, and then I will need the Ultimate Eraser in your hands to deal with them."
As he spoke, he eased his hand to Reed, who was already thinking, "The password to the box?" ”
"Logically, what you're talking about is likely to happen, but I'm not sure if you're from the future of this timeline I'm in." Reed frowned.
Due to the bifurcation and diversity of timelines, future developments are not singular and may be affected by a variety of different factors.
Just as he was hesitating to tell the password to the man in front of him, there was another change in the lab.
