Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

This chapter explains why the superbrain made the choice to destroy or reboot the universe. It contains a large amount of the author's subjective speculation and imagination, all of which are false information and do not conform to scientific principles. Interested readers are welcome to discuss rationally. If you find it absurd, please refrain from insults. You can skip directly to the next chapter without affecting your reading experience, although the next chapter will be updated tomorrow…

The two Tonys listened, stunned. "Wouldn't that wipe out all of humanity? What would be the point of restarting the universe then?"

The original Tony agreed with his other self's thought: "That's impossible, Wizard. According to what you've said about the pursuit and optimization of a superbrain, destroying or restarting the universe are the worst-case scenarios. Logically speaking, preserving civilization and the seed of life is far more valuable than destroying them. Doesn't the superbrain even know how to do the most basic value assessment?"

"Besides, this isn't just a story that needs to be set up; it's completely illogical for a super brain to lose its personal emotions."

A bitter smile appeared on the bald Ancient One's face, a smile that carried helplessness and a deeper understanding.

"You are trying to use the framework of human thinking to understand a way of thinking that may have partially or even completely transcended this framework."

As the bald Ancient One gazed at the gradually darkening sky, she seemed to be looking at a grander scale through the starry expanse.

"In the vast universe, a single galaxy like the Milky Way contains hundreds of billions of stars, and in the entire observable universe, there are at least trillions of galaxies similar to the Milky Way. On this scale, what do you think is the physical significance of Earth and human civilization?"

"Why are we suddenly talking about physics and philosophy?" Miles nudged Spider-Gwen beside him.

The bald Ancient One withdrew his gaze and looked at the two Tonys and the two Spider-Men who were listening with some confusion: "From a purely cold, macroscopic cosmic perspective, the planet we stand on is not even a grain of sand in the universe, and our universe is just an insignificant grain of sand in the infinite multiverse."

"So now, if a single grain of sand develops an irreparable defect that could damage the entire dune, would you spend the resources to try and repair it, or would it be more efficient to simply replace the grain of sand?"

"Of course they've been replaced," Miles muttered, but then noticed that both Tonys looked dejected.

"Jarvis," Tony said, his face grim and his voice hoarse.

"Based on the model described by the Ancient One, how likely is it that Lin Yi could restart or destroy the entire universe?"

"1.67%, sir."

"Remove all emotional factors and retain only pure logical deduction."

"93.61%, sir."

"Fuck!" Both Tonys cursed simultaneously.

"This is really unreasonable, Ancient One. Lin... Lin Yi, right? He should be human. He has human intelligence and emotions, that's the most basic thing. I don't think he would do this." Spider Gwen couldn't understand what the Ancient One was saying at all.

"If it were me, even with immense power, I would only choose to protect the universe and my companions."

"Yes, from a certain perspective, Lin Yi's choice to restart or destroy the universe is also a way of saving the universe. For him, it's just a simple matter of breaking down and replacing it."

"As I just mentioned, the thinking of a superbrain is not a mode that humans can understand. It does not consider emotional factors."

"We cannot understand it, just as humans cannot understand four-dimensional space."

"If you think this is impossible, then let me ask you," the bald Ancient One said, turning to Miles and Gwen: "This is three-dimensional space, Miles, Gwen. Before coming to this 'real' universe, could you fully understand the concept of three-dimensional space, or even... four-dimensional or higher dimensions?"

Tony, who had been deep in thought, spoke up: "I understand what the Ancient One is trying to say."

"Take four dimensions for example. Humanity's guesses about it are all based on existing mathematical and physical theories, which are deduced based on the changing laws of one, two and three-dimensional space."

"However, as time progresses and research continues, many scientific theories are being revised or even overturned. This shows that all current physical and scientific theories are only correct for humanity at this point in time. What makes us think that four-dimensional space must obey the laws governing one-, two-, and three-dimensional changes?"

"Therefore, it is reasonable that we cannot understand or imagine Lin Yi's way of thinking."

"It is incomprehensible, inferable, and unprovable. Just as in three-dimensional space, everything in two dimensions can be written and altered by a paintbrush, and even created and destroyed at will, just like a novelist who creates a two-dimensional universe with the first line he writes."

"But he can easily destroy or elevate the entire universe with just a few words. The two-dimensional universe he created cannot comprehend the existence of this author, or even perceive it."

"But we can think about it: can we doubt that our three-dimensional space is also a novel or painting written by four-dimensional space? This is full of paradoxes. We cannot imagine that it is correct, but we have thought about this point."

"The higher-dimensional products conceived under these paradoxes and heights are far more terrifying and unknown than we imagine. To them, our universe is no longer something like grains of sand, but something meaningless."

"That's roughly the idea. Lin Yi's super brain is completely unleashed, and his abilities continue to evolve. In the not-too-distant future, all universes will lose all meaning to him. He won't even glance at something meaningless. The reason he's making this choice now is because he's 'trapped' in this universe..." The bald Ancient One concluded, his worried expression deepening.

"Um... I have a question." Miles cautiously raised his hand. He had been listening to what they were saying for so long, as if it were gibberish, and he didn't understand what they were talking about at all, but he did understand another question.

"If that's the case, shouldn't we be thinking about how to stop Lin Yi?"

"And I have another question. Although he's shown so much power before, can he really destroy the universe all by himself?"

"Yeah," Tony snapped out of his daze and slapped his thigh. "How did this turn into a science and philosophy discussion? I know that kid. Although his abilities are indeed a bit abnormal, he's far from being able to destroy the universe. Of course, if he's going to find the Infinity Stones right now, then disregard what I said."

Based on a similar timeline, the original Infinity Stones do not exist in this universe, except for the Mind Stone in the original Tony Stark's possession, which was given to him by the Quantum Man.

Of course, if Lin Yi were to enter another timeline... probably not, since there are deviations when entering the quantum realm from different universes.

The bald Ancient One shook his head with a wry smile: "Unfortunately, he had been to the Lost Library, and he had more than one way in mind to restart or destroy the universe..."

"Although most of those methods come at a considerable cost..."
