Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 11 You can't control this matter, leave it to Uncle Tun, and see if Uncle Tun can control it for you
In the laboratory of Osborne Tower, Dr. is tinkering with a strange-looking "doomsday survival" device with the old Green Goblin.
That thing was not like ordinary high-tech equipment that had certain features that Mason could understand. It was more like a product of the combination of magic and technology.
Or maybe it's because the technological content of this thing is too high, which makes the way it works seem like magic in the eyes of "primitives" like Mason.
"It is several levels higher than the Isu's technology, my brother."
Consus, the Isu ghost hovering behind Mason, who only he could see, took a closer look at the device and said to him:
"This thing seems to be used for positioning. It itself has no ability to protect the world."
"Mason, your power armor has been debugged and can be driven into the battlefield at any time. I have also packaged the control host of the drone swarm into the magic lizard. You can just give it to Barbara."
The door of the laboratory opened and Judy walked in quickly. The chic girl chewed gum and handed a chip in her hand to Mason, saying:
"This is what the captain told me to give you just now. It contains a copied AI. Give it to Barbara and she will know how to use it. But you must use it only when you have no other choice, Mason."
The tech girl from 2077 advised very seriously:
"The aftereffects of this thing are a bit scary. If it's not handled properly, it might burn Barbara's brain."
"What's in it?"
Mason, who was trying to understand the special device in front of him, turned around and took the chip, whispering:
"Is it the same virus that Patmos used to destroy the 'Old Web'? Or is it a data copy of the 'Soul Killer'?"
"Come on, why would we give you something so dangerous?"
Judy was also attracted by the strange machine in front of her. She shook her hair and said casually:
"It's just a sealed thread of Ultra. After activation, it can generate a data singularity leading to the 'Black Wall' in the opponent's network. If the opponent uses technological means to fight, this thing should be able to kill everyone.
Hmm, is this the magical 'Doomsday Pager' that's been circulating in the Star Society's gossip?
This is the first time I’ve seen the real thing.”
She walked forward, reached out and tapped the machine that Dr. Otto was using to fine-tune the signal data. This slightly rough action startled everyone present.
But Judy just waved her hand and said:
"Don't be afraid, this thing is not a life-saving device. According to what I heard, it is just a calling device, used to locate the position in the parallel world system.
It is said that if you can send the right message before the impact, it can save the entire world.
I don’t know exactly how it works.”
"Yeah?"
Mason raised his eyebrows and put his hand on this very strange machine. He waited for nearly ten seconds before seeing the information label pop up:
Doomsday Caller/Virtual Messenger Generator
Quality: Epic Engineering, Super-Advanced Technology, Ultimate Craftsmanship , Replica
Item Effect: A virtual messenger is created on the plane where the device is located, and sends a foraging signal to the Devourer of Worlds, calling for the arrival of the Galactus conceptual body.
Notice!
Before using this device, the "Star Devouring Consciousness Countermeasure Equipment" must be deployed in advance, otherwise it may cause unpredictable consequences .
Current usage: [1/1]
Producer: Victor von Doom
Item Description: That idiot Reed would never have thought of using this method to solve the problem once and for all! Ha, I am really a genius.
Hint: The blueprint has been collected, but it cannot be crafted due to the lack of a specimen of Silver Surfer's power.
“I thought this thing was amazing.”
Mason curled his lips, retracted his hand and said:
"After all the fuss, it's just a 'bait', but it's not bad. However, the person who can think of such an unconventional move is definitely not a serious person."
"Um?"
Dr. Otto and the Green Goblin turned to look at Mason. The two scientists blinked and asked almost in unison:
“You know how it works?”
"I think I understand."
Mason rubbed his forehead and asked:
"There shouldn't be the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom in your world, right? Have you ever seen those legendary cosmic gods?"
"No."
Behind Mason, the middle-aged Spider-Man stepped forward and explained:
"There are no such things in our world, but I heard from some of your colleagues that there might be some, but the doomsday disaster came before they were discovered."
"Well, I guess that's it."
Mason put his hands on his hips and said to Dr. Otto and the old Green Goblin:
"The essence of this thing is to send a signal to a god sleeping in the depths of the universe, inducing it to appear in our direction. That cosmic god feeds on planets, so he will help us get rid of the world on the other side.
The reason why a signal was sent to the Cleaner Headquarters before the launch was probably to activate some kind of countermeasure beacon to prevent the hungry cosmic god from eating up the world as well."
“It’s really a crooked way.”
Judy curled her lips and said:
“No wonder not every vassal world of the Star Society has a Doomsday Pager. It turns out they are just relying on external forces to survive the crisis.
This is just using the tiger's skin to cover up a big banner. "
“Don’t say that. The fact that they can create this kind of device already shows that they have the means to check and balance the gods of the universe, which is already very powerful.
I just don't know which Uncle Tun they are calling?"
Mason shook his head and said:
"Dr. Otto, you can send out the signal now. I guess there's a high chance that this thing will respond automatically, so you don't have to simulate the cleaner's signal perfectly.
Only critical information is needed to trigger the countermeasure beacon."
"That being said, it's better to check it again."
Doctor Octopus didn't want to take any risks, so he checked the program again. Judy also pulled out a "data cable" from under her palm and connected it to the Doomsday Pager to help check the internal program.
This scene startled Mary Jane and little May Parker who were standing nearby.
"Mom! That pretty green-haired sister has a wire growing out of her hand!"
The little girl screamed as if she had seen a horror movie and buried her head in her mother's arms. Mary Jane gave Judy an apologetic smile with some embarrassment.
But Tech Girl doesn’t care.
Instead, he deliberately widened his prosthetic eyes and made his pupils change shape and color to scare the little girl and have fun.
In Judy's world, babies are supposed to receive this level of prosthetic modification from birth to help them operate various advanced devices, such as the data interface in her palm, which even homeless people on the street have.
A person without prosthetic modifications cannot survive in the world of 2077.
This is probably the "cultural difference" between different worlds.
"nailed it!"
Ten minutes later, Dr. Otto finally confirmed that everything was correct. He then took out the ID card of the dead Cleaner commander Imitation Master and inserted it into the Doomsday Pager to send a signal to the Cleaner headquarters.
30 seconds later, the Doomsday Pager received the activation key, and the seven lights above the machine lit up together, shining one by one into green beams, representing the activation of the "Star Devouring Countermeasure Beacon".
"A message has been sent!"
Judy, who had been watching the machine, shouted. In her electronic eye, an unclear signal was sent into the distant starry sky by the machine in the form of a special information wave.
The speed of that special information wave far exceeds the speed of light, and it disappears into the depths of the starry sea the moment it is sent out.
Just as Mason said, he threw a "bait" into the sea of stars, and soon there was a reaction in the starry sky. The shining bright purple light spread throughout the entire starry sky in an instant, as if the sky was on fire.
Everyone in the laboratory rushed to the top of the Osborne Tower as fast as they could, where they looked at the starry sky through various astronomical telescopes.
As they watched, a twisted wormhole opened in the space outside the Earth, and then a strangely shaped mechanical spaceship appeared in the wormhole, and a huge figure emerged from the spaceship.
When He first appeared, He was about the same size as the moon, then He quickly expanded to the size of the Earth, and within a dozen seconds He grew to be as big as the Sun.
The purple giant seemed to have a body cast by a machine, and on top of its strange battle skirt there was biological self-defense armor, and the outline of its muscles could be seen.
He had a strangely shaped crown on his head, but his face was completely invisible.
He seemed not to notice the planet so close at all. It should be the counter-beacon of the Doomsday Caller that was taking effect. The moment it appeared, it focused its attention on "Earth Two" that was breaking through the dimensional boundaries.
It's like seeing delicious food.
A purple-red giant as big as the sun stretched out his hand towards the planet, just like the god destroying the world in mythology. He grabbed the world that broke out of the boundary in his hand and rubbed and swallowed it bit by bit like burning magma.
Countless people in the entire Osborne Tower looked up in amazement at this scene.
They could not see the movements of the cosmic gods outside the world. They could only see the reflection of the world above the sky disappearing bit by bit in the shining purple-red light.
The whole process lasted only one minute, and when the purple-red light disappeared, everything disappeared like a dream.
There was no trace of the reflection of the world above his head anymore. The other earth that broke through the boundary had been swallowed up. The earthquakes that had occurred before had also subsided. Only the dust cloud formed by the volcanic eruption in the distant sky represented that everything that had just happened was not false.
On the top of the Osborne Tower, a group of people put down their telescopes.
They saw the wormhole disappear, and the cosmic god who ate the invading world disappeared as quietly as he came.
A wave of the sleeves leaves not a single cloud behind.
But it did help Spider-Man's world avoid a doomsday disaster.
"Something's wrong..."
Mason, who had witnessed the entire display of power by Uncle Star Devourer, put down the astronomical telescope in his hand. The scene before him was very exciting, but he frowned, because the posture and movements of the Uncle Star Devourer he had just seen seemed a bit uncoordinated.
Very stiff.
It's like being bound by something.
This is not the same as the Star Devourer he knows, and the cosmic divine light emitted by Uncle Star Devourer should be pure purple. Why is the one in front of him a mixed purple-red?
What does that streak of scarlet represent?
Could it be that he came from the other side of the World Gate that the hunter mentioned?
Is this a zombie being manipulated to devour the planet?
No way…
"The God of the Universe is so scary!"
Judy covered her head and said:
"No wonder the captain told logistics personnel like me not to go to the battlefield. Who wouldn't be scared if they kept looking at this kind of thing all day? If I look at it a few more times, I'm going to get cyberpsychosis!
This is much more terrifying than those boring fantasy Mewtwo. Such a big planet was eaten up in a few bites."
"But in the end, we don't know whether there are any living people on that planet..."
Doctor Octopus said somewhat disappointedly:
"If there really are people like us out there, then we are the ones who sent them into the mouth of a cosmic monster. Frankly, this makes me feel very..."
"That's enough! Otto!"
The old Green Goblin didn't care at all.
As he recalled the shock of witnessing the tyrannical power of the cosmic spirit, he turned back and said to Doctor Octopus:
"We are still alive! Just knowing this is enough. Don't think about other things. It is meaningless and a waste of time!
Next we will take the instrument apart and study it carefully.
Maybe when the next impact comes, we won't have to beg the Cleaners to send down some damned countermeasure beacons."
After the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus left, Old Spider came over with his daughter in his arms and whispered to Mason:
“Although we are in a partnership with Norman now, I still don’t trust him that much.
That guy obviously has his own plans, but the good news is that they sent someone to stabilize Harry's condition, so maybe next time you come over you'll see him greet you.
Harry is a really nice guy, I'll introduce him to you.
However, I know you are going to fight a dangerous guy, Mason, if you need help, Matt and I will do our best to help you, and we can go there now."
"No need, it's not as dangerous as you think. I'm fully prepared."
Mason let out a breath.
Looking at the cloudless sky in front of him, he said:
"I just need to think about this, and I think there may be more details behind this impact that we haven't discovered.
The truth about the end of all things...
It shouldn’t be that simple.”
Mason narrowed his eyes and said:
"The Green Goblin thought he could rest easy with the Doomsday Calling Machine, but he can't pin all his hopes on such a trick. I have to go back there to help Colypso fight off the Cleaners. Peter, we can have a good chat after this is over. Also, regarding the Doomsday Calling Machine...
If you come up with some results, please share them with me.”
——
"The Doomsday Pager was answered 1,532 times, and responded 1,278 times."
On the top floor of the Castle of Stars, in the meeting room of the three great mentors, the hunter, swordsman and warlock, who were divided into three groups, were staring at the light screen floating in front of them, reading the messages coming out of it one by one.
The warlock in a black cloak said in a hoarse voice:
"We were unlucky this time. The Isu assassins' attack on the World Gate projection core still caused a series of chain reactions, and more than 200 low-level vassal worlds were buried with them."
“Isn’t this nonsense?”
The grumpy swordsman leaned on a black sword and said:
"We all know that it's only a matter of time before it loses control. After all, it's not the real Galactus, but just a lingering shell from that damn universe separated by the World Gate.
I think the doomsday caller won't be usable during the next impact.
If something goes wrong again, we'll all be doomed."
"Next time? Do you want next time?"
Mr. Hunter was still in an emo state after being verbally attacked by Mason. She whispered:
"After this impact, less than one-fifth of the worlds will remain. Every world that survives has its own strengths. It is not impossible for them to counterattack the gods of the universe.
If this is a brutal game, it has entered its next, even more brutal phase.
Right now, the third impact is still in the brewing stage, and the real trouble has not yet arrived. Warlock! Immediately apply to your superiors to mobilize conquerors to enter various high-level vassal worlds to prepare for defensive counterattacks. If you delay any further, it will be troublesome."
"Yes! Let's get serious."
The swordsman stood up suddenly, holding up his sword and shouting:
"If we can't even protect our own vassal worlds, there's no point in staying here with this damn Star Society. We usually plunder so many good things to support them, and now it's time for them to move around and send down a divine force from the sky."
"Um……"
The most gloomy Warlock among the three mentors hesitated and thought for a moment. Finally, he nodded and said:
“I’ll apply!
You two should take all the A-class teams and deploy defenses on those important resource worlds! Bring the B-class teams along as well, so that they can see with their own eyes that the Stars Society is really doing its job of protection, which may help dispel many restless thoughts."
"With all due respect, doubt has already been born in people's hearts and has spread."
Mr. Hunter stood up and said:
"One action won't change anything."
Facing these words, the warlock pulled up his hood and released a strange magic that monitored the parallel world. He smiled meaningfully and said without even looking up:
"That's better than the bystanders and critics who keep questioning us but don't do anything about it, right?"
