American Comics: The Matrix

Chapter 438 Collision Crisis (My ring and little fingers are numb, I don't know why)
Actually, there are still some differences.

Ultimate Evolution is a module invented by Azmith; perhaps he once considered artificially assisting some races in completing their evolution.

But perhaps because ultimate evolution would bring a million years of suffering to the selected genes, or perhaps because he felt that human intervention in evolution was too arrogant, he ultimately abandoned ultimate evolution.

In contrast, the white light event triggered by the new cosmic structure did not have to endure the worst environment of a million years; it was more like a deus ex machina, randomly bestowing upon someone a power sufficient to serve as a precursor.

The chosen object is not fixed; it could be you or someone else.

In terms of strength, the latter is clearly more powerful.

However, the occurrence of white light events is not without cost; at least each one results in the deaths of thousands of people, which is unavoidable.

If you don't evolve, you will die.

This is equally brutal in the face of ultimate evolution and the new cosmic structure. Or perhaps, it is simply the way nature is.

Perhaps Bant wasn't as noble as Azmith; even under the influence of the mysterious power, he still accepted the technology of the new cosmic structure and the machine that the builder had spent millions of years creating.

Finally, things are over on the Behemoth Ring side.

One meeting led to the complete annihilation of two great empires. Although the Kree Empire still exists (in name only, having been usurped by evolved humans), its influence has plummeted.

Everyone knows that the balance of power among several major empires, which had existed for hundreds of millions of years, has been altered.

Of course, the Heavenly Guild does not mean that it controls the entire universe.

The universe is still very deep, and no one knows where a great god might emerge, or where some ambitious people might be hiding.

Bant continued to leave the miscellaneous tasks to Kaira.

With Luck and Gamora assisting her, as well as artificial intelligence, there's no need to worry about her being overwhelmed.

Bill and Brunhilde, along with the Celestials Guild, gradually took over the original territories of Cursed Star and the Skrulls.

As for himself, he returned to Earth, which he had always been loyal to.

“It feels like I’ve been away for a long time,” Bant remarked.

“It’s not just a feeling, it really has been a long time,” Eunice said. “Peter is even in college now.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Bant suddenly felt suffocated.

Nobody reminded him to write an application to university. What if he ends up not even getting a university degree?

"No, I didn't even collect my high school diploma!"

Bant's face darkened; he felt he had been tricked by capital.

How can someone who doesn't even have a high school diploma find a job and work like a slave?

What? I am capital myself?
That's fine.

“Don’t worry, there’s nothing money can’t buy in this country,” Eunice laughed. “Or are you planning to experience university life?”

“I can manage the job, but I can’t imagine what university life is like,” Bant immediately shook his head.

I'm already a cosmic overlord, why would I still be in school?
This school must be incredibly awesome!

"How are Felicia and Luma?" Eunice had also heard about the attack on them.

“It’s all over now,” Bant said.

He later realized that the one who attacked Luma and Felicia was the Builder, and that Edia had actually saved their lives.

“Actually, I came back mainly because of the collision incident,” Bant said.

He had initially thought the collision might be related to Modoron, but now it seems that was not the case.

Modoron was powerful, but far from being enough to deter the builders from even making a suggestion.

Eunice's expression turned serious.

The report stated, "The collisions are intensifying."

Since the first collision crisis, there have actually been five collision crises.

At first, Tony and the others struggled with their inner demons, and now they've become somewhat numb. Their first attempt was very lucky.

That was a lifeless Earth, but their luck wasn't so good on subsequent occasions.

When the third collision crisis occurred, another universe was completely unaware, but that universe had an illuminator, and they discovered a second Earth in the sky.

“T'Challa wanted to save some people, and everyone agreed to that proposal,” Eunice said.

Even Tony and Otto weren't truly so cold-blooded as to completely disregard life in another world.

However, their good intentions were not appreciated by the Illuminati.

As Eunice spoke, she led Bant to Wakanda, where Bant met his friends again.

“Honestly, it’s more comfortable here than in space.” Bant relaxed on the sofa and continued listening to them recount what had happened earlier.

No one noticed.

T'Challa said.

"The collision of the two Earths took place in a secret space above Wakanda. This unknown war has been going on for a long time, and we have destroyed five Earths with our own hands."

There was no sadness in his expression.

Tony, on the other hand, had a self-deprecating look on his face.

"Perhaps we were too arrogant."

"On one hand, I'm thinking about blowing up someone else's planet, and on the other hand, I'm thinking about saving as many people as possible... And now I finally realize how venomous my own mouth is," he said, shaking his head.

T'Challa explained, "One of the members of the Illuminati is him from that universe."

He said: "As expected of a renowned arms dealer, he even notified people to evacuate before bombing their homes. How noble! The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Mr. Stark!"

He repeated it.

Bant could practically picture Stark from another universe saying those words with a smirk on his face, his mustache inevitably uneven, making you want to slap him.

As expected of Tony, when he gets ruthless he even curses himself.
And it also fits Tony's personality.

It may not be very insulting, but it can be very damaging.

“Don’t blame yourself. This isn’t a war about justice, but a war about positions,” Bant comforted him. “Every now and then, some species on Earth go extinct because of humans. We will try to save them, but we can’t choose to perish in order to let them live.”

Everyone understands the principle.

“Don’t try to comfort me, I was already prepared,” Tony said.

"But seriously, now that things are over in space, shouldn't Norman Osborn bring the Thunder Force back? We're short-handed here, and we almost messed things up once. Luckily, Eunice brought those brother and sister here."

Tony looked embarrassed.

He was saved by Pietro.

That was about the fifth collision crisis, which happened a few weeks ago.

The opposite universe had obviously also experienced a collision event, and they came prepared. During the eight-hour collision buffer period, they fought a battle with the Avengers on the other side!
That was a fully prepared and at-your-prime Avengers.

Hulk, Thor, Scarlet Witch, and even Doctor Strange.

"But not Patton."

T'Challa remembered that Bant had mentioned before that Hawkeye should always be brought into battle, so he made a special mention of it.

In short, the opposing team had a strong lineup, but lacked a marksman, so we won by a narrow margin.

Hawkeye!

A man who always wins when he starts a team fight!

"Gentlemen, I'm afraid now is not the time for you to chat and reminisce." Su Rui, who looked like a black monkey, walked in carrying a tablet and said worriedly, "The instruments have detected fluctuations in space again, and a new collision is about to begin. Moreover..."

She looked up and glanced at the crowd.

"There are two this time!"
