Chapter 2132 The Ultimate New World (38)
Schiller and Adam hit it off immediately.
He didn't do it entirely for the official origin of his new vest. The main reason he accepted the conditions was that the universe was about to collapse.
The lifespan of the universe has a limit, and the limit of the lifespan of the Marvel universe does not depend on any scientific principle, but only on one thing, that is, popularity.
Popular characters will never die, and the unknown people who are put aside are no different from being dead. The highest priority is the survival of the company. If the company goes bankrupt due to poor sales of comics and poor management, all universes will be destroyed.
As explained before, if the multiverse with messy settings is not completely restarted, the popularity will inevitably decline, and the lifespan of the universe will be shortened rapidly.
And Schiller's activities in the universe cannot be said to have no impact at all. Not to mention that he travels between various universes, the portals opened back and forth by the Spider Legion organized by Nick between their own universe and the central universe where Schiller is located have already drilled the walls of the universe into a sieve.
Some remote universes are fine, as long as Spider-Man goes in and out, there is no problem. But for places like the main universe, which is already full of disasters, the butterfly effect caused by Schiller has become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Before Schiller came to the main universe with the gray fog in the body of the Skrulls, he had seen the situation of the main universe from the outside. Those who know know that this is a cosmic bubble, and those who don't know think that there is a coal ball floating here.
The main universe is not a universe with some holes in it, but a little universe hanging on the hole, and even this little universe is about to collapse. Even if it is affected by Schiller, it will not collide with the ultimate universe, and it is estimated that it will not last long, so this big restart is imperative.
But Schiller's opposition to the restart before was not only because the official did not give compensation, but mainly because it seriously restricted the development of cosmic life.
But under Adam's explanation and Schiller's own understanding, he also understood that many universes were repeatedly restarted before because there were too many original bugs. Some settings were contradictory and restarted, otherwise the story would not go on.
After the big reboot, most of the settings will be rewritten, and the unreasonable parts will be erased, which is equivalent to changing the original shit mountain code into a more accurate and efficient code, so that the stability of the universe will increase, and there will be no need to always restart due to contradictory settings.
Here we have to mention the underlying setting of the Marvel Universe, that is, the "infinite multiverse".
That is to say, anyone's idea is a universe, and every thought and every decision can lead to a different branch universe, and these universes are endless.
But this setting was not when Marvel was first established, but was slowly developed later. When there was no such setting. Editors wanted to put a good idea into the comics, they had to modify the setting.
This led to many previous universes being modified or many settings being forced in, which is the main reason for the instability of the universe and the constant restart.
And after the change of times. The concept of infinite multiverse will be further deepened. After that, every editor who wants to realize his idea can create a branch universe instead of harming the existing universe.
Then the creation of new issues will be opened in the new universe bubble instead of interfering with the original universe, which is generally beneficial.
At least the universe that has completed the setting does not have to worry about being a traditional superhero with a happy family and a happy life today, and being changed to a bitter hero whose family died suddenly and had to take revenge tomorrow. After finally taking revenge, the universe restarts.
And this setting also allows more universes to have new possibilities, instead of having to copy the story of the main universe and let all heroes revolve in the same fate.
So Schiller agreed to Adam's request, but he thought that it was really unnecessary to create a big event from scratch, but it was a bit difficult to use the original Secret Wars.
Because if you follow the route of the Secret Wars, Reed must obtain the power of the Transcendent. The Transcendent is just a fun person, and Reed is a pure troublemaker. If Reed gets the power of the Transcendent, this fighting world will be out of control.
So although we have to use the original story line, there is no need to create any universe collision. It is better to write directly based on the broken situation of the main universe, and also lay a foundation for the origin story of Schiller's new vest.
Adam thought about it and let Schiller play freely. There is an advantage of hiring Schiller as an employee. Although the salary is high, not a penny is taken for nothing.
Although Schiller was given free play, Adam was actually quite curious about what Schiller would do, so he applied for a VIP spectator seat and came to the world in the ring to watch Schiller operate.
This VIP spectator seat was not for nothing. In view of the broken situation of the main universe, Adam gave Schiller certain authority to allow him to use gray fog to make up for the damage and loopholes in the structure of the main universe.
Otherwise, with the current precarious situation of the main universe, no matter what Schiller did, it would be like carving on a balloon, with little room for operation.
So the first thing Schiller did when he landed in the main universe was to use the properties of gray fog and use gray fog factors to complete some structures of the main universe, which was equivalent to extending the life of the main universe.
But Schiller is not a real universe administrator after all, and not like Eternity. They are part of the universe themselves, and the Gray Mist also needs to learn to master how to take over the universe structure and exercise some authority within the universe.
So there was the mysterious visitor in the fog that Nick saw before, wandering around the earth. That was actually the process of Gray Mist learning.
Because Gray Mist didn't know what to do at the beginning, the initial reports and interviews about the fog guest did not mention the disorder of time and space. At that time, Gray Mist didn't dare to manipulate time and space at will, so there was naturally no eyewitness report.
When Gray Mist adapts to the way of operating the universe, Schiller can start to interpret his script, but first he has to solve the troubles in this universe, that is, Bruce and Spider-Man.
This depends on the difference between Schiller and Nick in dealing with problems. After all, Schiller is still a psychologist. Although he likes to give psychological treatment to others, he knows very well what is the key to solving the problem.
The key is never what a third party arranges except the two of them, but the communication between the two of them.
Bruce has not seen Spider-Man since he came to this universe. He is unaware of his ability to get Spider-Man. Spider-Man has not seen Bruce either, and he does not know that he has given Bruce his ability. The solution is actually very simple, which is to let the two of them meet and let them both know what the other has experienced, what they are facing now, and what they will get. In the simplest terms, they need to communicate.
Psychologists usually advise patients to communicate with the person who has caused them to have a knot in their hearts, but they will not say it directly, because if the two can communicate, neither of them will see a psychologist.
Since they cannot see the other party and are not responsible for the treatment of the other party, psychologists often encourage patients to communicate with someone else, such as changing the environment, or going to recuperate for a period of time. This is based on the patient's own interests, not on the judgment made based on the feelings of both parties.
But Bruce and Peter can obviously communicate. There is no one who is extremely controlling or arrogant. The two of them cannot communicate, which is obviously affected by external forces.
After working as a psychologist for a long time, you will find that objective conditions are always much easier to overcome than mental problems. As long as there is no problem between two people, no matter how far the distance is, it is not a distance, and no matter how thick the barrier is, it is not an obstacle.
So what Schiller needs to do is to bring the two of them together and talk it out. As for whether they should tell each other that the other party will die or gain abilities, whether they will die in the end, whether they will gain abilities, it is their own business.
If you have to say the difference, Nick is more like Spider-Man's father. His control and protection desires are equal. He will do everything to make things develop in a direction that is beneficial to Spider-Man.
But Schiller has always adhered to the perspective of a psychologist. A psychologist is just a doctor, not someone's parents. He is only responsible for the difficulties between them. What choices they make for their own lives is their own business.
Of course, Spider-Man still needs to be saved. In addition to Schiller's personal feelings that he doesn't want to see Spider-Man die, he plays an important role in this play, and his death is just the beginning.
After all, someone still has to take the blame for the real culprit behind the restart of the universe.
Peter was distracted and found himself standing in a dim space. He froze when he looked up.
In front of him was a huge and indescribable machine, composed of various complex and precise parts, but connecting these parts was a dense glimmer of floating data.
These data were not just simple numbers, but the perspectives of one person after another. This huge machine like a mountain was covered with countless data, at least covering the perspectives of all intelligent life in several universes.
"What is this?!!" Peter muttered to himself in a daze.
He couldn't help but take two steps forward, closer to the huge machine, and then saw some familiar parts from it.
Peter suddenly recalled that he had participated in a project in Stark Group before - the cosmic engine.
At that time, Schiller found Bai Can to study the engine that could drive the universe in order to provide the last insurance for the experiment against cosmic collision.
However, it is not easy to develop an engine that can drive the universe. The ordinary scientists of Stark Group cannot be relied on, so Peter also participated in the research of this project, and many of the design drawings of the components have passed through his hands.
Peter saw these parts in this huge machine.
Is this the engine that drives the universe?
But why did the mysterious black sun throw itself here?
The universe is going to be destroyed, and the universe will be reborn. Peter repeated what he heard from the black sun in his heart.
Peter knew that the universe will eventually be destroyed, but what does rebirth mean? A new round of Big Bang?
No, you have to think from the beginning.
The other party does not look human, so you can't look at him with the eyes of human scientists. The thinking of this kind of mysterious existence must be inclined to magic, but Peter really doesn't understand magic.
Peter pondered and thought that the only thing he knew a little about was religion. After all, there were many believers in the environment where he went to school from childhood to adulthood, and he had read the Bible.
When he thought of the Bible, Peter suddenly got inspiration. How did Jesus die?
Jesus was nailed to the cross. Crucifixion is the most famous punishment in the Bible. Jesus was nailed through his palms and crossed ankles. He died on the cross and then resurrected.
How many nails were there? One in each hand, that is two, and one in the crossed legs, so three holes were made by three nails.
Peter suddenly opened his eyes wide. If he remembered correctly, he had been shot through the body by a high-energy particle stream before, and there were also three holes on his body.
And where did the high-energy particle stream come from? Otto got a mysterious ignition factor, and before this factor was put into the high-energy physics collider, Peter had seen them, which were almost exactly the same as the mist particles he saw in the mysterious meeting space.
So this mysterious accident was arranged by the black sun, with the purpose of making three holes in his body.
He died because of these three holes, and then he was resurrected. When he stood up, the ground turned into a piece of soil with dark red soil, which corresponded to the blood field that absorbed Jesus' blood.
He became Jesus?
