Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Large and small round bubbles were crowded together.

The bubbles were colorful and shimmering.

Upon closer inspection, one can see countless stars twinkling within each bubble.

This is the space outside the world bubble, and each bubble is a universe.

Outside this space, a huge rectangular rock conference table is suspended.

But there were only six people sitting at the conference table.

It's not entirely human, is it?

The faces of these creatures are distorted in space, making their specific features unclear.

But based on their physiques and attire, Lin Yi would be able to recognize them if he were there.

Celestial Race, Wise Light Race.

In the main seat, shrouded in a black robe, his face was not distorted, but rather adorned with a strangely shaped metal mask.

Looking through the slightly larger gap in the eye socket, one can see that the person's eyes are tightly closed, and the eyelids gleam with a metallic sheen.

Let's just call him Metal Man for now.

Apart from the metal man, the remaining five creatures were exchanging information with each other.

It's still a vacuum here, but they can still make sounds.

It's unclear how much time passed, but the metal man opened his eyes, his emotionless eyes sweeping across the conference table.

He tapped the conference table lightly, the sound echoing in the vacuum, interrupting the communication between the five beings.

All eyes turned to him, but the metal man didn't speak. Instead, he turned to look at the distant World Bubble.

Then, he looked to his right at a humanoid creature covered in glowing runes. It was entangled in runes and scales, somewhat resembling a lizard draped in a runic robe.

"How's the plan progressing?"

The metal man's voice was calm and cold, just like real metal, devoid of any emotion.

The rune creature paused for a moment: "The plan is progressing steadily, and the collision between dimensions and the multiverse is becoming increasingly intense."

"But the anomalies are still uncontrollable, and one of them is becoming increasingly powerful, so we need to prepare early."

"Which anomaly?" the metal man asked again.

The runic creature raised its arm, and its lizard-like claws made a light sweep in the air, causing runes to surge and form a picture.

"He is a human named Lin Yi."

The image displays Lin Yi's specific information, including his physical strength.

"You should know of his existence. He has fought against the Zhiguang Clan and the Celestial Clan, but, heh..."

The first half of the sentence was spoken with respect, while the second half was a cold laugh, but it was clearly not directed at the metal people, but rather mocking the Celestials and the Lightbringers.

After all, neither of the two races had fared well against Lin Yi.

Bang!

"What do you mean?"

The Celestial Race member slammed his hand on the rocky conference table, his angry voice ringing out.

This is a celestial being covered in golden armor, including his large, golden head. His enormous body and surging energy, which are larger than those of ordinary celestial beings, signify his extraordinary nature.

Clearly, the rune creature's words had angered him.

Compared to the Celestials, the representatives of the Lightbringer race appeared much calmer.

"..." The rune creature glanced calmly at the Celestial representative without speaking, but the mockery in its eyes even pierced through the distortion of space.

Ignoring the Celestials completely, the rune creature continued to communicate with the metal man in a respectful tone: "I suggest expanding the scope of the cosmic virus release. So far, the 16 multiverses we have released have had very little effect."

The metal man did not respond to the suggestion, but instead extended his metal palm and gently traced it across the rune screen.

The rune display changed accordingly, and Lin Yi's personal information transformed into historical events.

"One Celestial was killed, one Celestial was captured alive, and another Nar?"

As he spoke, the metal man glanced at the representative of the Light Clan.

"The Zhiguang Clan even attempted to trace this person's origins? But it seems... they failed?"

These things didn't really bother the Metal Man, since there were many powerful beings in the universe, not to mention the astronomical number of overlapping powerful beings in so many multiverses.

His only concern was that the Zhiguang Clan had exhausted all their energy to trace the source of their target, but still failed to obtain information about Lin Yi's original world.

He doesn't like anything that's out of his control.

"Our traceability protocol is working properly, although the energy consumption did indeed far exceed our expectations."

"The target was sent back to its original universe, but that universe was strange; it couldn't display its coordinates or any signs of existence, as if it didn't belong to this dimension."

The representative of the Zhiguang Clan knew he could no longer remain silent and spoke up to explain.

The metal man seemed to frown for a moment after hearing this.

He stretched out his finger and touched the forehead of his mask, where there was a symbol.

A faint glimmer of light flashed in his pupils, like a data stream, and at the same time, the patterns on the mask also glowed faintly.

The Zhiguang Clan fell silent; this familiar scene was not the first time any of the five creatures had witnessed it.

This is one of the ways the Metal Man uses his abilities to collect data.

The light on the mask flickered like a breathing lamp. As time passed, the metal man's brows furrowed deeply.

This caused a slight commotion among the five creatures.

In the past, the metal men's collecting behavior would stop quickly, but this time, it has been longer than ever before.

After an unknown amount of time, the metal man lowered his fingers.

"After this meeting, try to make contact with this human," the metal man said, pointing to the runic creature.

He didn't say what information he had collected, but his words deepened Lin Yi's impression of the creatures.

Even the metal man couldn't find Lin Yi's original world.

They were beginning to believe the Zhiguang Clan's speculation: perhaps Lin Yi really wasn't from this dimension?

But what are higher-dimensional beings doing here? Did they discover their plans?

Thinking of this, the five creatures involuntarily looked at each other, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes through the distorted space.

The runic creature bowed slightly respectfully: "I understand. To what extent is it necessary?"

The metal figure tapped the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "Try getting him to join us..."

The rune creature was startled, its tone carrying a strange undertone.

"Does he deserve it?"

The metal man nodded, then shook his head.

"His combat strength is currently insufficient, but his origins are too mysterious, and he possesses something that could significantly impact our plans..."

"Keeping him under our noses is far safer than letting this unknown variable continue to roam. Our plan cannot afford any more surprises, and I think you don't want to miss this opportunity either."

His gaze swept around the group before finally settling on the rune creature's distorted face: "If necessary, I can reveal part of the plan. You understand what I mean."

The runic creature's heart sank, and a hint of caution appeared in its eyes: "I understand."
