American Comics: The Matrix

Chapter 482 Bant: It's not up to you! (Will be later)

Evolved humans find this hard to accept.

Within his noble body flowed the blood of a lower being.

But it was precisely their blood that allowed them to survive and even solve the problem of genetic breakdown.

With the hope of the race's continuation right before his eyes, he had absolutely no idea what to do.

Actually.

This is the gift that the Cosmic Cube gives to evolved humans.

The moment he entered the cube, the cube knew his wish, and that was the answer the cube gave.

Otherwise, if it's just a blood transfusion, even blood from the same species might not be a match, let alone blood from different species.

Genetic breakdown is not something that can be easily resolved.

Evolved humans knew nothing about this.

At that time, he was tormented by two voices within him: one of pride and dignity, the other of the continuation of his race and life; one of conscience, the other of sin.

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to kill the old man and the child, but he chose to leave alone, exiling himself with his filthy blood.

But for some reason, after he left them, the evolved man found himself easily walking out of that boundless forest.

But what awaited him ahead was an even more vast and terrifying scorching desert.

He was afraid of the heat.

Just as moths fear flames, the evolved human race is more adapted to cold environments.

High temperatures will cause their bodies to dehydrate rapidly, eventually turning them into shriveled corpses.

But he didn't look back.

Self-exile is itself a form of self-torture.

He felt he was atoning for the defilement of his noble bloodline, and perhaps the scorching sun should bake away the base blood within him.

As a result, he became severely dehydrated.

The wound that should have healed reopened, causing his arm to wither and shrivel, like a moth that had been stuck in a window crack for a long time.

He collapsed under the scorching sun.

After Bant, with his two Winter Soldiers, found the elderly Steve (Steve from the Hydra world) and the young Steve (Steve from Bant's world) and took them away, he discovered the dying evolved human in the desert.

After learning what had happened from the Cosmic Cube, Bant decided to save his life.

He used the functions of the small broken watch to fuse the genetic code of the swamp fire with the genes of evolved humans.

The swamp fire's regenerative power healed the evolved human's injuries and also freed him from the fear of high temperatures.

But the evolved humans felt it was even worse.

Originally, there was only a little blood in the body, but now even the chromosomes have changed to resemble someone else's, and the body's surface is covered with green spots.

How is this any different from an old white man waking up to find he has turned black?
In his case, even if he returned to his tribe, he would still be drowned in a pig cage.

Thinking about this, he turned into this listless, dreamless person.

"Don't worry about him."

Bant waved his hand and pressed the launch button for the annihilation missile.

Inside the red alternate dimension.

The approaching Earth burst into bloom like fireworks.

In the blink of an eye, the two collapsing universes brushed past each other again.

The collision crisis is finally over, but the next one is on the way.

“One day we’ll be exhausted from dealing with this,” Tony sighed.

"We can only hope that Thor and Loki can bring us good news." Bant turned his gaze to Otto.

"What happened to the tower of the evolved humans?"

“All the tall towers on Earth have been toppled, except for the last one,” Otto said.

“Connorson was originally planning to infiltrate with the Winter Soldier, but you took the Winter Soldier away, so he had to act on his own. But the result was not ideal; the temperature in that tower was lower than in other places, and Connorson's physical functions were reduced to an extremely low level.”

"The infiltration failed?"

"This is not."

Otto shook his head.

"But he has lost contact."

Otto recounted the situation.

After Bant took the Winter Soldier away, Otto and Norman hoped he would be careful, but Connorson still took the risk and went into the tower on his own initiative.

At first, things went smoothly. He infiltrated using his human form and encountered few obstacles.

Later, he discovered a wormhole inside the tower and speculated that the evolved humans' lair was on the other side of the wormhole. So he ventured out alone and ended up losing contact.

"There should be no technical error in our communications. There is only one reason why we cannot contact Dr. Connorson: the communications have been compromised."

Bant Road.

If nothing unexpected happens, Connorson should have been captured.

"The person we're looking for has changed."

“Can’t we use the cube you got?” Felicia asked.

Previously, Natasha only wished to bring back the real Steve, but both Steve Rogers from different universes were pulled into the cube.

"not that simple."

Bant shook his head.

"Once it leaves its original universe, the cube is no longer omnipotent."

This is actually somewhat similar to the Infinity Stones, but also different.

The cube has only lost its omnipotent power, but it still possesses infinite energy.

"What should I do?"

Peter asked, "We can't just leave Dr. Connorson in danger."

He said urgently, "I can organize a team to rescue him."

"It's not that troublesome."

Bant picked up the Cosmic Cube, walked up to the dejected evolved human, and said, "Let's make a trade."

"Stop your self-destructive expansion. I can fix the genetic defects of your evolved human race. In exchange, you must stop your current behavior and return all the people you have replaced."

"Ha ha……"

"Didn't you say the Cosmic Cube was useless?" The evolved human looked up at him.

"It's useless, but it's useful!"

Bant raised his right hand.

“With the infinite energy of the cube, the power of Onmitrix can be spread throughout the entire universe. I can heal your race just as I healed you.”

"Pointless."

The evolved human shook his head.

"To let the genes of those inferior life forms pollute our bloodline? Dream on!"

he roared.

"We would rather die than tarnish our bloodline!"

Bant asked, "Do you really think other races are inferior?"

"what?"

"You saw it in that forest too. Although Earthlings have short lifespans and weak bodies, their will is very strong. And you are by no means perfect beings. If it weren't for them, you would already be dead."

The evolved humans were speechless.

The two Steves did change his perspective on other life forms.

A life that should have been fragile, like a bubble, instead fought tenaciously with him until the very end, and even saved his life.

He, too, can get hurt, and he has things he fears. In extreme environments, he may also lose his will and be unable to persevere.

Even the act of destruction itself was far from noble.

To be honest, it was more out of arrogance and jealousy.

“Perhaps you are right,” the evolved human said sadly. “It was our arrogance that destroyed us. But I know it’s no use knowing that; the other members of our race will not agree.”

"They have no choice."

Bant sneered.

If I give you a way out, you should take it honestly.

He's been busy with this and that lately and is already feeling a bit tired, so he's not in the mood to mess around with the evolved humans.

"This is a notification, not a discussion, much less a request."

He placed the cube on top of the watch, and the watch began to consume the cube's energy.

In an instant, the watch's energy was fully charged for three days.

Now it can blow up the entire universe anytime, anywhere!
