I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 561 But I'm No Longer Alone

Chapter 561 But I'm No Longer Alone
Switching back to Earth in 2013, a team of scientists, including Peter, is researching a new project. Instead of using the Cosmic Cube's shell to fight Kang, they are exploring whether they can turn it into a communication device similar to a telephone to establish contact with the Cosmic Cube within Kang's body.

Compared to going head-to-head with Kang, it might be simpler and more reliable to call out Kovacs.

How can we ensure that the Cosmic Cube has developed self-awareness?

Pym raised the question first, but Peter quickly answered: "If the Cosmic Cube didn't have any self-awareness, it wouldn't have helped me achieve the goal of 'the whole world forgetting about Spider-Man'."

The group glanced at Spider-Man; indeed, none of them remembered who he was. However, given Spider-Man's familiarity with them, it was impossible for them to be completely unconnected. Having grasped this, they turned their attention to Marvel, since the Kree had a very deep understanding of the Cosmic Cube.

Mar-Vell didn't hesitate much. On one hand, it wasn't a military secret; the Kree only had a history of fighting the Cosmic Cube, not creating it. On the other hand, Mar-Vell was a pacifist, and he didn't think Kang's actions were right.

“Well, I don’t know much either. According to the records left by the Supreme Intelligence, the Supreme Intelligence once communicated with the World Plasticizers, also known as the Skrulls’ Cosmic Cube. Their awakening was also achieved in a hazy state.”

"According to records, the Cosmic Cube seems to possess basic self-awareness at the moment of its birth and continues to enrich itself, but it is like a dream and needs to be awakened."

“Okay, at least we know some basics.” Tony sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead as he said, “Can you focus on the important points? How do we wake up something that can shape the entire universe?”

"Contact, sufficient contact of thought and consciousness. The Cosmic Cube itself is too vast; it must be powerful enough, with enough contact of consciousness, to awaken itself. This process includes the consciousness of those killed or modified by the Cosmic Cube." At this point, Mar-Vell said with considerable confusion, "Logically speaking, given how much Kang has altered reality and killed so many enemies, the awakening of the Cosmic Cube should be imminent, but I haven't seen any signs of it."

"Perhaps Earth is still too weak for an artifact that only awakened after destroying two-thirds of an interstellar empire."

Tony was even more speechless. Wasn't this their goal? To awaken Kovac ahead of time, otherwise, it would be a long time before Kovac truly awakened.
But you...

"Brainwave device."

Upon hearing this, Peter immediately realized how to solve the problem. He looked at Beast, who had been listening in and looking at various experimental data, and asked, "Dr. McCoy, could you connect this device to the EEG machine?"

"If you say it's as an energy source, that's very easy, but if you say it's as a receiver for a brainwave analyzer..."

The Beast understood Peter's meaning: powerful mental contact could awaken the Cosmic Cube, and here, whose mind was powerful enough? Without a doubt, it was Professor Xavier, who was resurrected during Kang's modification of reality. Moreover, it wasn't just the professor's powerful mental abilities; he could connect the minds of people all over the world through the brainwave device, accelerating Kovac's awakening.

But the professor's thought perception works on the human brain, and the Cosmic Cube doesn't have a human brain, so how can it awaken?

“It can be done.”

Ant-Man answered the question: "I remember... when Spider-Man fought the AI ​​Green Goblin, the Green Goblin tried to enter a human brain, fought Norman Osborn for control of the body, and even made contact with the White Queen. This shows that a super AI can design a data transmission method compatible with brainwaves. I can do that by fine-tuning Ultron's algorithm."

At this point, Pym sighed somewhat dejectedly, "Ultron will cause terrible disasters in the future. I originally thought that modifying Ultron's underlying logic would prevent this, but now it seems it's not that simple. I will destroy Ultron, but before that, let it complete its final task." "Well, it looks like this task can be handled by just two people."

As Tony spoke, he picked up his helmet and put it on: "We'll go buy you two some time, Hanks. Good luck."

"The Avengers—or anyone else—let's go!"

Kang spent a few minutes annihilating the entire army that had come from the Age of Ultron, as well as the variant of himself that had been modified by Ultron. After eliminating the enemy, he used the Time Stone to completely close the time tunnel.

Then, he used the Cosmic Cube and the Time Stone to examine what had happened and why these things were happening one after another. Finally, in this witnessing, he saw it—Spider-Man.

A very dangerous guy he shouldn't forget.

His brief contact with the Cosmic Cube at that crucial moment initiated everything; otherwise, a rebellion of this magnitude should have been quelled long ago. Whether it was Ultron, Doom, or anyone else, they should have been defeated by him.

Kang descended from the sky once more, watching the superheroes battling a horde of self-repairing robots, and chose to annihilate them completely. The flagship's massive cannon fired again in an instant, and this time it was Strange who withstood the attack. The Sorcerer Supreme, having recovered most of his strength, blocked the blow. At that very moment, Doom attacked Kang from behind, reaching for the Cosmic Cube on his chest.

Kang grabbed Doom by the neck and unleashed a powerful green laser beam from his eyes, blasting Doom's head apart. But instead of the expected smell of burning flesh, he found electrical wires shimmering with magical light on Doom's neck.

???

Doom's robot clones can use magic now?

In an instant, the Doom robot exploded. Kang barely escaped by using the Time Stone. This Doom robot was clearly specially modified, and the power of its self-destruction was enough to injure him, who possessed the Cosmic Cube.

Kang looked up and saw Doom flying above him, looking down at him.

"How dare you defy me, who possesses the Cosmic Cube?!"

"You have never been the master of our world, Kang!"

The answer to Kang was not Doom, but another voice.

As Magneto descended from the sky, Kang's sword-shaped flagship began to twist and explode into a giant firework over New York.

"You should go back to your own world."
