Marvel: Spider-Man? No, I'm Superman!

Peter's expression gradually turned serious, and he solemnly voiced his guess.

“That’s right, sir. At first, we also thought it was just an accident. After all, the infinite universe is too vast. Although the chances of an accident are small, on an infinite scale, even low-probability events will eventually become inevitable.”

"However, no one expected that less than a dozen hours after the first universe was detected to have died out, another universe would experience the same thing, suddenly collapsing with an abnormal surge in energy."

"Until then, we also realized that this might not be an accident, but rather the beginning of a massive crisis that could engulf the entire multiverse..."

Reed, equally solemn, echoed his agreement. They had long realized that the destruction of the universe might signify an impending crisis that would sweep across the multiverse.

Those previously destroyed universes were likely forcibly destroyed by some powerful being.

"But who exactly is destroying the universe and its billions of lives without any reason?"

"Moreover, ordinary people probably wouldn't possess such terrifying power, enough to destroy numerous universes!"

At this moment, due to this sudden event, almost all members of the council have come here to search for the cause of the universe's destruction and a solution.

These questions lingered in their minds.

Even though they worked tirelessly for days on end, searching and exploring with all their might, they still couldn't find the real culprit that destroyed those universes.

The valid information obtained is that a unique and extremely large energy fluctuation will erupt before the universe is destroyed.

After that, the rate at which the universe was destroyed did not slow down; in fact, it accelerated even more than before.

This made them feel somewhat desperate; how could they possibly detect and stop a terrifying force capable of destroying the universe?

Peter's return has finally given them a glimmer of hope amidst their endless despair.

"Sir, could it be that the crisis you mentioned before, which is sweeping across the infinite universe, has erupted ahead of schedule?"

At this moment, almost everyone remembered Peter's previous prophecy, which he had said long ago that a destructive crisis that could sweep across the multiverse might be about to erupt.

"No, this is not the multiverse crisis I was referring to..."

Faced with the inquiring gazes of the crowd, Peter slowly shook his head, denying their guesses.

Peter's previous "prediction" of the impending multiverse crisis was due to the inexplicable invasion of the DC universe and the strange dark energy that did not belong to the Marvel multiverse.

Now, Peter has witnessed firsthand the entire process of a single universe going from normal to sudden destruction, and he has not found any strange dark energy appearing in it.

This means that this inexplicable crisis was not caused by interference or planning from people in the DC Universe.

Rather, it is a special crisis that occurs within the Marvel multiverse.

……

"Damn it, what are we supposed to do now? Are we just supposed to watch helplessly as the infinite universe, under unknown circumstances, continuously bursts into fireworks in the void?"

At that moment, upon hearing Peter's denial, the glimmer of hope that had just risen in the hearts of everyone present gradually faded away.

The unknown existence, possessing terrifying power capable of destroying the universe, left these "ordinary people" who had only recently come into contact with the multiverse feeling almost helpless.

Even though the multiverse is incredibly vast, with countless individual universes within it, it's unknown how long in advance their respective universes will eventually be destroyed.

However, it is probably impossible for anyone to accept the despair and helplessness of having a sharp sword hanging over their head, not knowing when it might suddenly fall.

"No, it's not entirely without a solution..."

However, just when everyone felt desperate and helpless, Peter slowly spoke, giving a glimmer of hope to those in despair.

"Mr. Superman, you..."

The crowd, their hopes rekindled, looked at Peter with expectant eyes, waiting for him to continue.

A hint of hesitation flickered in his eyes, as if he feared that the hope he had just gained would turn into despair once again.

"Actually, after this period of exploration, you haven't come away empty-handed. You should have noticed long ago that before each cosmic destruction, a unique energy fluctuation would erupt..."

Peter did not hesitate and slowly revealed his inner thoughts.

"Mr. Superman, do you mean using that special energy fluctuation to locate the impending destruction of the universe and then go to prevent its demise?"

Those present were the most intelligent beings in their respective universes, and even before Peter finished speaking, they had already drawn their own conclusions based on his words.

However, this turned their hopes, which had been rekindled, back into despair.

"It's no use, Mr. Superman. We noticed this situation a long time ago. It was precisely by using this special energy fluctuation that we were able to locate the soon-to-be-extinct universe in advance and observe the complete scene of the universe's destruction."

"Unfortunately, we have not found any patterns that we can utilize in these cosmic fluctuations."

"Moreover, the multiverse is so vast that the transfer of energy cannot be instantaneous throughout the entire multiverse. By the time we detect the energy fluctuations, that universe has already been completely destroyed, and we have no time to stop it."

As the most intelligent beings in the universe, they naturally noticed and took advantage of the characteristics of this universe before its destruction.

Unfortunately, this very fact caused them to despair once again at Peter's words.

"Of course, it's not absolute. As long as the universe about to be destroyed is close enough to our universe, there's still a chance that we can travel to that universe almost the instant we sense the energy fluctuations and prevent its destruction..."

Although Reed from the Peter Universe spoke in a deep voice, he proposed a solution that could be implemented under specific conditions.

However, this is almost impossible. Would they have to constantly monitor whether the cosmic energy fluctuations around them are abnormal?

And after an unknown number of years, the moment the anomaly was detected, they went to stop the destruction of that universe and find the real culprit that caused its annihilation.

"We certainly can't be constantly monitoring the abnormal energy fluctuations across the entire multiverse..."

However, Peter's expression did not change in the face of everyone's doubts, and he spoke again.

After pausing for a moment, and seeing the expectant expressions returning to everyone's eyes, Peter continued, "If we consider our universe as an origin, we can indeed only monitor the cosmic energy fluctuations within a limited distance, and then have ample time to prevent the destruction of that universe."

"But what if cosmic origins like ourselves are found throughout the multiverse?"

Peter's voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in everyone's minds like a thunderclap.

"That's right. Just like the neural network that makes up the human brain, it connects the infinite multiverse as a whole, forming a special network like nerves. Then we can find out which universe in the whole network has an abnormal energy fluctuation in the shortest time."

"So that we can get to that universe as quickly as possible and prevent its destruction..."

Peter's words gave Reed a flash of inspiration, and he instantly understood the plan that Peter had not yet fully explained.

"That's right. If we could really connect the entire multiverse, no, even if we only connected one-tenth or one-hundredth of the multiverse, we could find the real reason for the successive destruction of universes in a short period of time."

Reed, from another universe, after a brief moment of thought, also found that this method was indeed feasible.

"Although I don't want to spoil everyone's fun, I have to point out the fatal flaw in this plan..."

However, just when the vast majority of people felt that the plan was feasible and showed excited expressions,

Reed, from the zombie universe, spoke slowly, his voice still icy, making everyone feel as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

"Have you ever considered just how much energy would be required to create a device capable of connecting the entire multiverse and the endless universe?"

"Moreover, all the technology we currently possess is simply incapable of supporting the construction of such a massive project..."

"With our current technology, it might take decades or even centuries just to connect a few thousand universes around us."

Reid's voice, though calm, brought back seriousness and even solemnity to the previously smiling faces of the crowd.

The reason they did not expand their council during this period to jointly combat the impending multiverse crisis was...

The fundamental reason is that their technology and energy are insufficient to support more parliamentary members.

Simply opening the spacetime portal connecting their five universes already consumed an enormous amount of energy.

If we want to connect to more universes, the combined energy that the entire Earth can produce probably wouldn't be enough to support it.

……

"Alas, even though our technology is advanced enough to understand the infinite multiverse, we are still bound by the most important energy source..."

Reed sighed. With Peter's arrival, in just a few short years, the development of the entire Earth had exceeded everyone's expectations.

They were even able to build human fleets and sail into the distant universe.

It can also build multiverse shuttles that can explore other universes beyond our own, making a cosmic-level council a reality.

But at this moment, energy, the foundation that underpins all scientific development, still limits their progress.

"That's right, energy is ultimately a fundamental problem that no science can overcome."

The others also sighed. The solution they had painstakingly come up with that might resolve the multiverse crisis had once again been crossed out!

"Heh, energy isn't a problem, and neither is more advanced technology..."

Faced with everyone's sighs, Peter suddenly smiled.

Fortunately, he did not rush back after his trip to the DC Universe.

Now, we have obtained the most crucial and important thing to save the entire multiverse.

"Mr. Superman, can you really solve the problems of energy and technology?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Peter, their emotions fluctuating as hope turned to despair time and time again.

At this point, some even doubted what Peter was saying.

After all, energy is not a problem that can be solved overnight.

"In fact, our universe possesses supreme artifacts with near-infinite energy, such as the Infinity Stones..."

"However, each of the Infinity Stones contains only one specific type of energy and is not suitable for use as a multiverse connection device."

"But fortunately, not long ago, during my journey to another universe, I not only collected enough Speed ​​Force, but also obtained another treasure containing infinite energy, its name is the Mother Box..."

When Peter reappeared before everyone's eyes in a flash, they saw a huge cube made of an unknown metal on his raised palm.

"This is... the mother box?"

Everyone stared at the rather ordinary-looking metal mother box in Peter's hand, a hint of doubt creeping into their eyes.

The Infinity Stones also emit a dazzling light at all times, signifying their boundless energy.

However, this mother box only looks old, like an antique that has been passed down for thousands of years.

There was no indication whatsoever that it contained endless energy.

"Today, I'll show you what's what..."

Peter smiled slightly, then used special methods to manipulate the mother box in his hand.

hum!

It was accompanied by a sudden buzzing sound.

It was as if an invisible gale suddenly rose up in Zhongdu.

But everyone's eyes were now fixed on the seemingly ordinary mother box in Peter's hand, which suddenly began to twist and churn.
