Overwatch invades American comics

Chapter 811 The Truth About Zhitong

The Omnic Crisis left the world in ruins, and after the war, many Omnics were destroyed or scrapped. However, there were also many Omnic monks who did not participate in the battle and were willing to coexist peacefully with humans.

So after the end of the Omnic Crisis, they were exiled. These exiled Omnic monks came to the depths of the Himalayas and built a temple.

The faith of these intelligent monks is called the Wisdom Eye, and its symbol is three hexagons at the head, with an eye in the middle and tentacles below.

Zhitong, its English name is Iris, which can be translated as rainbow light or iris. On the surface, it seems to mean eyes. But in fact, it also means iris.

The Greeks often planted this flower in cemeteries in the hope that the souls of the dead could be taken back to heaven.

The transliteration of Iris is Alice. In Greek mythology, she represents the rainbow goddess. She is the messenger between gods and mortals. Her main task is to bring the souls of kind people back to heaven through the rainbow bridge between heaven and earth after their death.

In other words, the intelligent monks have been searching for their own meaning. Through constant meditation and thinking, they discover that they are not just simple artificial intelligence, they also have their own souls.

If you turn Iris upside down, it is actually a Norwegian word, which means guidance. So what the intelligent machines pursue is not only to gain a true soul, but also to have something to guide their souls to be sublimated.

"During our investigation, we discovered a surprising fact." Winston said, "In the sanctuary in Nepal, where the intelligent monks are, we detected a mysterious signal. It turns out that the intelligent monks have been in contact with the outside world all along, and this signal does not come from the earth, it comes from the moon!"

"Moon?"

"Yes." Morrison said, "There is an intelligent robot director in Hollywood. He made a movie about aliens on the moon. People always thought it was just an absurd science fiction film, but not long ago, the director was assassinated."

"That movie actually hinted to us that there are some terrible things on the back of the moon. They come from the depths of the universe." Winston said, adjusting his glasses.

William knew that because the moon's revolution around the earth has the same period as its rotation, people on earth can only see one side of the moon but not the other.

This gave rise to the mystery of the far side of the moon. Logically speaking, the unknown is what is frightening. What could be on the far side of the moon?
An Autobot ship from Cybertron?
The city of Attilan of the Inhumans on the moon?
The American novelist Lovecraft, also the founder of Cthulhu mythology, also wrote about a monster called Moon Beast in "The Dream Quest of Secret Kadath". The back of the moon is the colony of Moon Beast.

Even Hawking strongly opposed humans landing on the moon to explore the secrets of the back of the moon because that would bring a catastrophe to mankind.

Soldier 76 took out the USB flash drive that McCree gave him, inserted it into the computer and began to read the data.

"Data is being read, please wait..."

When Athena finished reading, William and the others saw many files, and the top one had Horizon Lunar Base written on it.

Morrison opened the file and said, "We have collected a lot of information to piece together the truth about Zhitong."

"This is the original video footage of the Horizon Moon Base."

The picture shows surveillance video. The experimental apes in the lunar base were originally sleeping. Suddenly, the image became blurry. When the image returned to normal, the apes became violent and uncontrollable. They attacked the scientific researchers in the lunar base and a riot broke out.

"Although the sound of this surveillance video was erased for some reason, Winston gave us an important clue, that is, an ape heard a strange sound in the ventilation duct," Morrison said.

"It seems that Winston was lucky to escape without having to perform an SC." William said.

Next, Morrison opened another file, which was about a person named Hilberren Kuiper.

He was an eccentric astrophysicist who devoted his life to figuring out how to harness the energy of gravity.

But an experimental accident drove him crazy. His experiment formed a short-lived black hole, and although he was only exposed to the black hole's energy for a short while, he suffered serious mental damage.

"After he returned to Earth, he went completely crazy. He kept humming some strange melody about the laws of the universe, and there were constant gravitational anomalies around him. The government thought he was very dangerous, so they locked him up and called him 'Experimental Subject Sigma' for several years."

"Later, Talon's men rescued him. After Sigma joined Talon, Death had been observing his mental state. Sigma often had nightmares at night. He dreamed of a huge black hole in the abyss of the universe. It was like an eye was staring at him, and that strange melody kept echoing in his ears." "And when Sigma was doing the experiment, he happened to be in the Earth-Moon orbit. The accident happened when his spacecraft was over the back of the moon."

William understood why Sigma went crazy. This guy probably saw something he shouldn't have seen, and then his sanity dropped madly.

Remember, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you.

There were many files in the investigation materials, and soon William was attracted by a file, which was from the Overwatch Antarctic Monitoring Station.

"The US scientific expedition team has been exploring the abnormal climate change of the earth at the Antarctic monitoring station in the past." Winston said: "Over the years, the earth's climate has become very bad, worse than in the past few hundred years."

"Hurricanes have devastated Cuba, Brazil's rainforests have been halved, Florida's forests have disappeared, much of Canada has been flooded, Greenland's ice cover has been reduced, and it won't be long before Gibraltar disappears from the Earth's plate."

William's expression was serious. Whether it was the Omnic Crisis or the global climate anomaly, it was a huge disaster for mankind. And now, they finally knew that all this was caused by the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Mei discovered an unidentified phenomenon, or rather an unidentified object, deep in Antarctica. Whenever she got close to that object, she would feel dizzy, as if someone was whispering in her ear."

William still remembers another novel by Ai Shouyi called "At the Mountains of Madness", in which ancient people from the depths of the starry sky came to the Earth and established their own civilization on the ancient Antarctic continent, which was not yet frozen.

If the global climate anomalies are really caused by a mastermind behind the scenes, then their significance is already very clear, that is, to destroy the ecology of the earth, and then transform the earth into a home suitable for their survival, causing the extinction of mankind.

“This is the truth about Zhitong.” Soldier 76 said in a deep voice: “Zhitong does not belong to our Earth, but it is very likely that it has been lurking on Earth for a long time. The Omnic Crisis was caused by it, and the global climate change is also its conspiracy.”

"The Second Omnic Crisis has broken out in Russia, and our world has fallen into a huge crisis again. The omnic monks represented by Mondatta have been controlled by Zhitong, so we have to let Black Lily find an opportunity to eliminate him. Zenyatta has seen Zhitong's true face. In order to defeat this terrible enemy, we have no choice but to disband Overwatch, just to let it show its true colors."

"The mastermind behind our world is not the Omnics or the Black Claws, but the Zhitong, an alien from the depths of the universe that has been influencing the entire world. Their goal is to invade our world. Zhitong is our common enemy."

"Only if we destroy it can we truly protect the Earth!"

"William, you have successfully completed the hidden mission: Overwatch: Mission 2. Get experience rewards. Get rewards: 1000 supply boxes, gold coins."

"Overwatch: Final Mission: Defeat Zhitong"

When William heard Athena's voice, he was stunned. Defeat Zhitong?
If the so-called Zhitong is just a monster with Cthulhu elements, then it is nothing more than an alien. He often fights aliens in the Marvel world, and it is still easy to deal with.

If the Intelligent Eyes in the Overwatch world are the monsters in the Cthulhu mythology, those indescribable existences, it is almost impossible to defeat them!
"William, you are the one we chose, so we hope that you can join us in defeating the mastermind and drive them out of our world!" said Soldier 76 and Winston.

Just as William was hesitating, a ghostly figure gradually appeared in front of them. Morrison was also shocked. It turned out to be a black shadow!

"Don't worry, I'm here alone." The black shadow said with a smile.

Overwatch's secret base was heavily guarded, but the shadow broke in at some point and stood stealthily beside them, but no one noticed.

"Do you remember the deal we made in the bar?" The shadow said, "I helped you find Jack Morrison, and you have to do me a favor as well."

"I remember."

“That’s fine.” Black Shadow’s expression turned serious and he said, “My request for your help is actually very simple. That is, you help us defeat Zhitong. But your power alone is not enough. We also need the power of the Marvel world. You are the link between these two worlds. I think with the power of the Avengers and Overwatch, we will definitely be able to defeat Zhitong!”
