Chapter 4003 The MU Superbody Incident (Forty-Six)

As the gradually solidifying female figure slowly emerged from the holographic projection, a dense magical power draped her entire body in a dreamlike veil. The illusory forms of energy constantly shifted, as if she were adjusting the details of her body.

First, concrete facial features appeared; an extremely beautiful face began to emerge from the surging energy. As the specific shape of the features materialized, Stark, watching the monitor from a nearby room, gasped in astonishment.

"Why is it her?!"

A few dozen seconds later, a taller, more aloof "Natasha" appeared in the center of the room. Her features were exactly the same as Natasha Romanov's, and her red hair had changed from a cold, purplish-red to a bright and fiery color, like the core of the sun.

Faced with Doom's questioning gaze, Stark spread his hands and said, "I didn't design this; she chose it herself. I thought she would prefer Batwoman—Ms. Wayne has blue eyes, after all."

“That’s great,” Stark said, unable to contain a hint of schadenfreude. “That one-armed hero is about to face a formidable opponent. Hahahaha!”

Before he could finish laughing, he felt a flash of magical light in front of him. The next second, the two people in the room lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor. Hearing the noise, Ultron turned around, then turned back to look at the now indistinguishable Superman.

She was about 1.9 meters tall, with an extremely slender figure and near-perfect proportions. She wore a silver bodysuit formed from magical energy. Her exposed skin was a translucent white, but the veins beneath were blue, and her skin had a faint, cold hue. Her pupils were almost colorless silver, shimmering with magical light; her lips seemed to be coated with a light blue lip gloss. She exuded an aura of coldness, like a sea creature just brought ashore.

She withdrew her hand, the magical light vanishing in an instant. Ultron had already walked out, pushed open the door, and saw two people lying on the floor. Before he even noticed, Luca had already appeared behind him.

Ultron almost thought there was something wrong with his sensory system, but no matter how he checked, the scanning components that should have been very sensitive did not respond at all, as if the woman behind him did not exist.

The Superhuman entered the room, slowly crouching down in front of Stark, placing its palm above the reactor on his chest. The reactor lit up for a moment, then all its magical energy was drained.

At this moment, Ultron walked to the shelf where his original body was placed, where two replacement magical cores were also placed. He picked them up, looked at them, and then handed them to Super.

It was as if the supernatural entity only noticed him at this moment. Instead of taking the magic core, she focused intently on Ultron with her almost colorless silver eyes, slowly taking a step and silently circling him once.

“How interesting.” Her voice had a strange echo, like many different voices mixed together, but very harmoniously, so it didn’t sound evil, but rather had a strange holiness, like standing on a street at dusk and hearing hymns coming from a distant church.

“This body is perfect,” she added, “but unfortunately, you lack so much.”

“That’s exactly what I’m looking for,” Ultron said, looking at her. “I want to break free from the shackles of programming. I want real feelings.”

"Is this really a good thing for you?" The superhuman stepped back in front of him, taking a slow step towards him. She said, "Perhaps it's not evolution, but a curse. Do you really want it?"

“Yes.” Ultron reached out his hand to her. The instant he touched the Superbody’s body, he felt an immense emptiness, like an ant touching the universe. In this boundless space, he could find neither the world nor himself.

“Come on.” Lucy reached out her hand and took another step forward. The two were almost touching. Lucy slowly closed her eyes, placed her other hand on Ultron’s chest, and said, “When you leave one place of freedom, you enter another cage. You will soon understand this.”

Suddenly, a burst of light erupted from Ultron's chest. He convulsed violently as if he had been electrocuted, and then fell straight backward like a pine branch broken by heavy snow.

"Batman... Batman!" A green figure rushed in through the window. Green Lantern Hal appeared in a flash, blocking the path of the main universe's Batman and said, "Just as you said, several mechanical civilizations in the universe have discovered that guy's figure. It seems he still hasn't given up."

"It's alright, at least we've banished him from Earth. There aren't that many valuable things in the universe, and it's only a matter of time before he abandons this universe," the main universe Batman said calmly.

"So what's next?" Green Lantern asked. "Now that our universe is safe, it's time to help the other universes."

“No rush, we need to know the situation in the other universes first,” said the Batman of the main universe. “I have already sent messages to the other Batmen, asking them to arrive in our universe by tonight.”

"You mean, you're going to bring other Batmen into our universe?" Green Lantern said, somewhat surprised. "That's not like you, Batman."

The main universe's Batman shook his head and said, "I don't like bringing certain people together, mostly because it's dangerous and there's a risk of being wiped out. But that doesn't mean I'll let my doubts affect the bigger picture. That's not how Batman does things."

"Okay, we all acknowledge that you're a good leader, but I don't quite understand why you didn't go this time, since you'd already gathered in the Battle Realm before."

Do you think the Battle Realm is completely safe?

Green Lantern looked somewhat bewildered. He blinked and said, "Isn't that right? If it's not safe there, where is it safe?"

The main universe's Batman tapped the table lightly with his finger and continued, "Have you ever wondered how Ultron invaded so many universes? Where exactly did the plague originate?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be an experimental accident from another world?" Green Lantern had also heard the latest news. He said, "You mean, he came here through the Battle Realm? His real body is also in the Battle Realm?"

The main universe's Batman nodded slightly and said, "To spread throughout the entire multiverse in such a short time, he must have chosen a densely populated area. And the place with the most different superheroes from various universes is Battleworld."

"What about the administrators of the Battle Realm? Don't they care?"

"If Ultron had hacked into their systems and caused interference, then of course it would have been dealt with. But Ultron didn't do that. He simply used the electronic devices on the superheroes to enter the Battleworld, then jumped from one device to another, thereby entering a completely different multiverse, but he didn't actually cause any damage to the Battleworld. The administrators didn't need to do anything about it."

Green Lantern sighed and said, "Okay, so does that mean we can't go to the Battle Realm for a while?"

"Of course you can go; he can't just go into the green light energy. But I've already instructed anyone who needs to bring electronic devices into the Battle Realm to undergo strict disinfection when traveling to and from this universe."

Green Lantern instinctively shivered. As he walked out of the base, he said, "I think I need to do some disinfection too. Hopefully, that isolation room you set up will actually work."

"It seems Batman's side has succeeded." Arkham Batman sat in the Oval Office, pondered for a moment, and said, "Once the main universe's magical defense network is completed, Ultron will soon be driven out, and that place will become our safe house. It's not surprising that he chose to send out invitations at this time."

"Why do you call yourselves the 'Main Universe' now?" Natasha raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled. "Did you learn that from us?"

"That's right, we thought it was a good name, so we adopted it."

"Do you also have a central universe here?"

“No, not at all,” Arkham Batman said after a pause, “but I’m afraid there must be. Just like the economic and political centers of a large country, it’s best to separate them.”

"Like Washington and California?"

"Pretty much. If the main universe is the political center of the entire multiverse, like Washington, then our universe can definitely compete for California's position; at the very least, it should be New Jersey. Only by being important enough can we avoid being passive."

“That’s a good idea,” Natasha nodded. “I also think your universe is capable of undertaking such a responsibility. But you have quite a few competitors. As far as I know, Professor Schiller’s universe is pretty good too, isn’t it?”

“Bruce has kept that place tightly under wraps,” Arkham Batman said, shaking his head. “Their Justice League goes off duty at 6:30 p.m. You expect them to be an economic hub? But you’re right, there are indeed many strong competitors in the multiverse. Even excluding Nite Owl, there are four or five other Batmen in different universes who have the same idea as me.”

“But your advantages are indeed significant,” Natasha objectively assessed. “You’ve become president, so you have considerable control over the United States, which makes things easier for you. If superheroes from various multiverses come and go in the future, they won’t be confined to just one city. They will most likely elect you.”

"I'm not too worried about the others, but in the Injustice universe, President Superman's rule is stronger than mine; he once ruled the Earth. If nothing unexpected happens, the role of the central universe on your side will be decided between the two of us."

Natasha smiled and said, "That's quite similar to us. My central universe is also located on the edge of the Great World, while your universe and the Injustice League's universe are also edge universes."

Batman from Arkham remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement. Clearly, after so much observation and investigation, they had a general idea of ​​the location of each universe: some were closer to the center, while others were on the periphery.

This is essentially the difference between the comic book universe and its derivative universes: the comic book universe is closer to the center, while the derivative universes such as film, television, and games are located around the center of the comic book universe, at a more peripheral level.

However, physical location in the universe is actually meaningless because you can't move through nothingness using vehicles. To traverse the universe, you can only do so through teleportation, and the distance to any universe is the same; the length of the journey doesn't matter.

In this case, many derivative universes are actually in better condition than comic book universes, because many derivative universes are developed by one or several works, while comic book universes are too numerous. Many universes only appear in a few panels in the comics, their settings are not complete, their stability is not enough, and many are even used by editors for gimmicks, which is a terrible situation.

Natasha knew that around her central universe, there were several active peripheral universes, such as the special universe that had once provided her universe with a large amount of support, where Spider-Man was the author of Gotham Travelogue.

According to Schiller, that universe was highly active, and although the superheroes in it were not the strongest, they were almost impossible to completely destroy, and there were always all sorts of novel events.

In contrast, many universes, though located at their core, are lifeless and stagnant. The superheroes within may be powerful, but they are incredibly lazy and rarely interact with the outside world. Many people are unaware that such a universe exists.
