Chapter 3992 MU: The Superbody Incident (Seventy-Two)
The rest of the Avengers from the main universe were also selecting equipment in the equipment section. Most of them needed life support systems, even the genetically modified humans. So after collecting their equipment, they all went to collect their life support systems.
Similar technology exists in the main universe; for example, Iron Man can conduct space combat from inside his mech. This technology could also be disseminated to others, most likely in the form of helmets or similar devices.
But the life support system in this universe was far more advanced than they had imagined. The life support device used for space operations in this universe was actually a ring.
The Black Widow from the main universe held the ring, momentarily speechless. She looked at the ring, then at Spider-Man, who was distributing them, and said hesitantly, "You mean I should take this little gadget into space and believe it can protect me from the vacuum? What if you made it any bigger?"
"Madam, please don't doubt it, this product is effective. Even ordinary people are using it, and we have tested its effectiveness; there is absolutely no problem."
"Ordinary people are using it?" The Black Widow from the main universe was even more surprised. She said, "Putting aside whether this stuff is effective or not, where are these ordinary people coming from?"
"Of course there are. It's just that most of the skilled workers went to the front lines with the troops because there was so much stuff that needed to be built there."
"Oh, you mean ordinary mutants?"
"No, they're just ordinary humans from Earth. But ordinary humans in this universe are quite strong; they can survive for twenty or thirty minutes in a vacuum. If they had a life support system, they could stay in space indefinitely without any problems."
The Black Widow in the main universe seemed to be listening to gibberish. She looked down at the ring again, suddenly remembering what Robert had said earlier, and asked, "You have a vacuum environment simulation training ground here, right?"
"That's right, it completely simulates the space environment. But actually, if you want to try it, you can go to real space..."
"No, I'll go check over there first." The Black Widow from the main universe quickly left. But she wasn't the only one with this question; everyone who received the ring was skeptical. And their routes of action were remarkably consistent.
Spider-Man doesn't usually lie, especially about matters of life and death. They would never make such a guarantee if they hadn't tested it themselves. Since he dared to make such a promise, there must be some truth to it, but it's just too absurd, so seeing is believing.
The Avengers from the main universe took the ring to the space training ground, only to discover that it wasn't a simulated vacuum environment at all; it was real space.
The capital of the Andromeda Galaxy, Sky Island, is an island, and a very typical one at that, thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. Given the mutants' abilities, digging a hole in the thinner edge wouldn't be difficult. Magneto also removed the magnetic field protection here, making it indistinguishable from the outside space environment.
The Avengers from the main universe hesitated. After all, that little ring didn't seem very useful. Just as they were debating whether to go down, Iron Man from the main universe arrived late.
Dr. Banner turned around, somewhat surprised, and said, "You're better? But why do you look so pale?"
"Because I've been worried about whether scales will sprout on my body!" the main universe Iron Man said irritably. "You just abandoned me like that, without even thinking about what might happen to me."
"Stop it, Tony. What can they do to you?" the Black Widow from the main universe said. "We didn't go because we didn't want you to lose face. If we heard you screaming when you got your shot, you'd be grumbling about it for years to come."
The main universe's Iron Man opened his mouth, but then realized Natasha had a point. It would be a bit disrespectful if these guys didn't come along, but wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if they'd heard his screams earlier?
The main universe's Iron Man could only sigh and say, "The person who gave me the injection looks exactly like Dr. Lizard! I almost thought he was going to turn me into a lizard!"
“You haven’t changed, have you? Alright, Mr. Steel Lizard, go down and take a look down there first,” the Black Widow from the main universe said. “Take this and record the data, otherwise we won’t dare to go down.”
The main universe's Iron Man was baffled—because he had come directly from the hospital without going to the armory and didn't know what the ring was for. But the moment he held the ring in his hand, his expression changed.
"This thing..."
"what happened?"
“The structure is truly amazing,” the main universe Iron Man said. “It’s practically a perfect creation of mechanics and magic. What is it for? To release a shield? But it doesn’t seem quite like that.”
"This is their life support ring. It contains a life support system that allows people to fight in space. Do you think this is reliable?" Captain America from the main universe asked.
The main universe's Iron Man nodded and said, "No problem, it's far beyond that. This thing can even be used as a shield. You shouldn't be shot down before the energy runs out."
Hearing him say that, the group felt relieved, took the rings and jumped into the hole. They found that nothing happened, and the rings didn't react at all. It was no different from being on land.
And just as Iron Man from the main universe said, their bodies shimmered with a faint magical light, seemingly possessing a certain degree of defense, with strong resistance to blows and impacts. After some testing, they were also found to be impervious to fire and high temperatures.
“No wonder it’s called the central universe,” said the Black Widow of the main universe. “It’s quite something.”
After testing the life support system, everyone felt relieved. Besides their own safety being assured, they also realized that this universe was indeed powerful and incredibly well-prepared, as if it had been waiting for this battle for a long time.
Just as they were practicing their moves and getting used to their new equipment in the training field, Robert rushed over with a document in his hand: "Iron Man, has Iron Man arrived yet?! You haven't picked up your equipment yet!"
The main universe's Iron Man flew out, looking at him with a bewildered expression, and said, "What? What didn't I claim?"
"Your equipment," Robert said, shoving the document into his hand. "And your registration form is so messy, I can't even read what you wrote. You need to rewrite it and then go collect your equipment."
"Oh God. Why am I doing this?!" The main universe's Iron Man was incredibly impatient. "All my gear is here, what else is there to teach me?! You guys aren't really trying to cram a few guns into my head, are you? Come on!"
"Sorry, everyone else can bring their own equipment, but Iron Man can't. You guys have a transport mission. If you don't deliver the goods within the specified time, it'll be considered battlefield insubordination. The commander will make you pay!"
"Pshaw, he can..."
"Hello, Iron Man from the main universe. I am Professor X, the main commander of this war, and I am currently communicating with you from the frontline command post in the Triangulum system. When will your assigned M112-353 equipment crate arrive?"
"Coming right away, Commander."
Upon realizing that Professor X's voice had disappeared from his mind, the main universe's Iron Man couldn't help but curse, then suddenly realized: "What did this guy just say about where he was?"
"Good heavens, the Triangulum Galaxy is millions of light-years away, right? And you can communicate with it in real time? Physics has become obsolete!"
Despite his complaints, Iron Man in the main universe is still reliable when it comes to work, and he still packed his things and went to the armory. He was speechless the moment he saw Howard.
He had actually learned from Spider-Man that Howard in the central universe had been resurrected, but for some reason, he hadn't taken the initiative to visit him—or rather, none of the Iron Man members had come. This sudden encounter was rather awkward.
The main universe's Iron Man rubbed his fingers together and said, "Long time no see, how have you been?"
“Not bad.” Howard smiled at him and said, “You’re about my age now, so you should know what I’m doing. Alright, now’s not the time for reminiscing. Iron Man’s armory is at the very back. Make sure you take it by the number, and only you can operate those machines. Go.”
The main universe's Iron Man had been somewhat distracted on the way, so much so that when he saw those massive Mother Nest bases, he didn't react for a moment.
"What the hell is this... this..." The moment the main universe's Iron Man came to his senses, he realized what he had seen.
The space inside this house is far larger than imagined. Or rather, the outside is at most a counter, while the inside is the real hall, which is as big as two football fields, filled with rows and rows of huge equipment that are dozens or even hundreds of meters high.
With Iron Man's expertise in mechanical engineering, he immediately recognized what this thing was for—no wonder, having just been beaten up by the mechanical overlord, how could he not recognize the mechanical army?
However, unlike the robots created by the mechanical overlord, these machines are clearly more engineering-oriented. In other words, this is actually the production line and storage place for the mechanical army, which can continuously produce an endless number of robots.
“My God,” the main universe Iron Man couldn’t help but exclaim. While he was amazed by the scale, it wasn’t entirely because of that. He was more amazed that the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., and governments around the world would allow Iron Man to have such power.
This is no longer on the level of destroying Earth, or even ruling the solar system. With this thing, ruling the Milky Way is only a matter of time. Aren't two of the three great empires ruling the universe using this kind of endless military buildup?
The main universe's Iron Man swallowed hard, circling the device repeatedly, seemingly trying to find a flaw. But this thing clearly showed years of research and development, not a last-minute effort; it might even have been built some years ago and only recently put into use, with absolutely no flaws.
Following the numbers, the main universe's Iron Man found the equipment he needed. He had actually brought about a hundred Jaegers, but that wasn't enough to move so many behemoths. Just as he was about to ask the Avengers for help, but didn't want to look foolish, he saw an operation instruction sign nearby.
The main universe's Iron Man walked over and examined it closely, his shock growing even greater. It was actually an operating manual for nanoscale scaling technology, meaning these things could be shrunk using Pym particles. The manual was also written by Pym, and bore his signature.
Don't be fooled by the short description; it's actually quite complex to operate, and it omits a lot of basic beginner knowledge. It specifically states: those without experience using particles should not attempt to operate it. No wonder Iron Man had to carry it; an outsider would easily break it.
The Iron Man of the main universe thought of Dr. Pym from his own universe. While he was responsible for the mess, it wasn't entirely his fault—if it weren't for the government and Hydra constantly conducting illegal experiments, these mad scientists would have had much better opportunities. For example, Pym, Doom, and Reed in this universe—weren't they all shining brightly in their respective roles?
On one hand, to limit power, they completely forbid such large-scale research; on the other hand, they secretly conduct various illegal experiments, forcing mad scientists into their laboratories. Ultimately, this leads to all sorts of accidents, leaving the Earth riddled with holes. Not only does technology not advance, but it also destroys various achievements and leads to the loss of technology. Continuing to operate in this model will only lead to further backwardness.
An indescribable rage welled up within the Iron Man of the main universe. He clenched his fists tightly, mentally torturing those people to pieces countless times.
He gathered his equipment, and the rest of the team had almost finished resting. They passed through the portal again and arrived in the Triangulum system. Before they could even step onto the other side, a piercing alarm blared in everyone's ears.
"Intense energy fluctuations detected at the designated location! Traces of spatial teleportation." Professor X's voice echoed throughout the universe. "They're here! They..."
Professor X's voice suddenly stopped. Then, a scene that shocked everyone unfolded—where the portal should have appeared, a colossal planet, so vast it seemed to have no end, suddenly appeared, descending upon everyone like a natural disaster.
"what is that?!!"
"What kind of planet is this?!"
"How is this going?!!"
Schiller, who was moving building materials, stopped, stood on the site, looked up at the colossal structure that blocked out all light, and slowly uttered a single word:
"...Apokolips".
