I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Depp sneered inwardly upon hearing these highly inflammatory words, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with that, Ebony Maw?"

Depp's words shook Ebony Throat to his core.

How did this guy find me?

However, his excellent professional ethics prevented him from stopping even after Depp exposed him; instead, he continued to entice Depp, saying:

"I am the deepest, most authentic darkness within you. You want to shift the blame to someone else? I don't think that will work... Holy crap!"

"Damn it, what are you?"

Upon hearing this, Depp chuckled and said, "Ebony Maw, spying on my secrets will come at a terrible price!"

"What exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming to this universe?"

Ebony Throat spoke slowly and fearfully, each word distinct.

Upon hearing this, Depp jokingly said, "You really want to know? Aren't you afraid that after I tell you, you'll never see your master again?"

Ebony Maw, who was howling in agony, seemed to realize something and immediately begged for mercy, "No! Don't tell me, please don't tell me! I don't want to know at all!"

As Depp said, invading his body to spy on his secrets comes at a terrible price.

Because within Depp's body and memories lie memories belonging to many different multiverses.

The DC universe, the Marvel universe, the Boys universe, and... the world Depp was in before he traveled there.

Furthermore, these worlds belong to different multiverses, especially the main world that Depp traveled through before, which is the origin of all these comic book worlds.

Therefore, Ebony Maw alone could not withstand the impact of so much diverse knowledge and laws from so many worlds.

Not to mention, there's also the indescribable system residing within Depp's body.

Trying to take over territory from the system? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Depp knew this well, which was why he dared to wait here for Ebony Maw to become parasitic.

Otherwise, with Ebony Maw's unyielding black tongue, Depp really wouldn't be confident he could resist the guy's charms.

Meanwhile, Ebony Maw, parasitizing Depp's body, was suffering indescribable torment.

To be honest, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Even powerful beings like Odin, the Ancient One, and Thanos, who are at the level of the Celestials, would immediately sense Ebony Maw's parasitic possession and then pull the creature out of their bodies.

Ebony Maw is completely unable to parasitize a powerhouse of this level.

Depp, however, was different. Depp's current level was far from that of the Heavenly Father, so Ebony Maw easily invaded his body.

But what Ebony Maw truly couldn't understand was why Depp's memories contained so many things he couldn't comprehend at all.

Furthermore, when one reads this part of the memory, one will suffer extremely severe backlash.

This backlash is at the soul level; it seems that with each additional bit of Depp's memory that Ebony Maw reads, the damage and pain caused by this backlash become more severe and profound.

Unaware of all this, Ebony Maw, who had just begun to read a great deal of information, felt his soul being burned by hellfire.

This also compels him to desperately want to leave Depp's body!

Ebony Maw kept climbing out from behind Depp, trying to get away from Depp's body as soon as possible.

No, in Ebony Maw's eyes at this moment, Depp's body was no longer a shell, but a furnace of souls.

If he stays in this soul furnace for too long, his soul will definitely be melted away!

Fortunately, Ebony Maw is silent and undetectable both when it parasitizes its host and when it leaves the host's body to end the parasitism.

Thinking of this, a hint of joy at surviving a disaster finally appeared on his pained face.

"Fortunately, Depp isn't a Godfather-level powerhouse, so he can't detect or stop me at all!"

Ebony Maw, who had just pulled his entire upper body out of Depp's body, had barely finished speaking when the former grabbed his throat with his strong hand and pulled him forcefully in front of him.

Ebony Maw looked up in surprise and discovered that Depp had somehow gotten a gold-rimmed monocle over his left eye.

The frames and lenses of these glasses were polished to a shine by Depp, and in the sunlight, the edges of the frames gleamed with a dazzling and intelligent light.

"How...can you see me?!"

With his throat being choked, Ebony Throat spoke in a panic.

He couldn't understand how Depp, with his current abilities, could possibly have discovered him.

Even Thor is only unable to parasitize because of his divine bloodline, and Thor would never be able to detect himself in this state!

At this moment, the man before him shocked Ebony Maw once again.

"Just how many secrets does this guy still have?"

Depp looked at Ebony Maw, which was barely clinging to life in his hands, and gently touched the Mirror of Description.

It must be said that anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of high quality!

The anti-stealth effect of this Mirror of Introduction is simply outrageous!

It seems that from now on, any form of stealth travel, or even astral projection or the Ancient One's astral projection abilities, will be easily detected by the Mirror of Convenience... no, wait, I mean, I'll be able to see right through it!

Depp pulled Ebony Maw's head in front of him and, as if the other was using a speech control ability, put his mouth close to Ebony Maw's ear.

Depp then loosened his grip slightly, grinning mischievously, and said, "Hey, do you want me to tell you what my purpose is in coming to this universe?"

These words terrified Ebony Throat!

The fact that I only glimpsed such a small amount of information has already caused my soul to be burned with such pain.

If Depp tells him other, more important, and more informative secrets, wouldn't he just die here?

After all, information about girls like Yua Mikami, Eimi, and Utsunomiya is definitely no match for the importance of Depp's true purpose in coming to this world!

Damn it, I, Ebony Maw, am waiting for a chance to rebel against Thanos later. I can't die now!

Oh, swearing is wrong, you should be elegant!

So, in the spirit of elegance, Ebony Maw pleaded with Depp, desperately pleading, "No! Please don't tell me anything, please!"

As he spoke, he simply covered his ears and said, "I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!"

Depp chuckled, then threatened, "Then give me the hidden Mind Scepter, or I'll tell you all my secrets."

Although Depp could see Ebony Maw, he did not see the Mind Scepter on him.

Depp guessed that the scepter had been hidden by this guy.

Upon hearing this, Ebony Maw tremblingly took out the Mind Scepter, whose handle had been broken, from his bosom.

This guy seems to have already decided to keep the scepter for himself, so he deliberately broke off the wooden handle and hid the scepter head on his body.

The instant Ebony Maw took out his scepter, he immediately pointed it at Depp, using the tip of the Mind Scepter to strike Depp's chest.

Previously, Ebony Maw had never used the Mind Scepter to directly control enemies, mainly because it required targeting the enemy, and for a mage like himself to get close to an enemy was not easy and extremely dangerous, so he hadn't used the Mind Scepter in that way.

At this moment, Depp was already within reach in Ebony Maw's eyes, so of course he couldn't let go of this excellent opportunity!

The moment the Mind Scepter touched Depp's chest, Ebony Maw grinned maliciously, "No matter how many secrets you have, they are now at my disposal."

What nonsense are you spouting?

Under Ebony Maw's bewildered gaze, Depp sneered, snatched the head of the Mind Scepter, and said, "It's nothing!"

In fact, Depp had anticipated this situation, so he placed an Arc Reactor in his chest in advance to counteract the controlling effect of the Mind Scepter.

Furthermore, Depp felt that even if he told Ebony Maw some important news, it wouldn't worsen his suffering.

The soul-burning Ebony Maw suffered was because he recklessly probed Depp's mind and memories, which led to a backlash from the laws of the multiverse.

However, if he personally tells Ebony Maw certain information, then that information will no longer be something he obtained through spying, and he will naturally not suffer any backlash.

Otherwise, when Depp first explained things to Iron Man and Batman, those two mortals would have been instantly killed by the laws of nature.

What's the point of Depp giving people any science education then?!

Seeing Ebony Maw's extremely inelegant appearance, Depp lost interest in continuing to frighten him.

He grabbed his neck and pressed him into his own body, forcing him to continue enduring the agonizing pain of his soul being burned.

Ebony Maw's heart-wrenching screams echoed in Depp's ears, giving him goosebumps.

How much pain must it be for someone to cry out like that?

However, the screams did not last long.

Just over half an hour later, Ebony Maw's screams gradually subsided.

At the same time, he reappeared at Depp's feet, lying on the ground looking disheveled.

Ebony Maw stood up blankly, looked at his trembling hands, and said in confusion:

"What happened? How did I get here?"

"And who...am I?"

Depp immediately understood what was going on when he saw Ebony Maw's expression.

I wondered if this guy had lost all his memories by being burned by the laws of several completely different multiverses?

This is so hilarious!

Ebony Maw then spotted Depp in the sky and looked up to ask, "Who am I? And who... are you?"

Depp looked at himself through the mirror of his profile.

Ebony Throat: Black Tongue Strategist

Main ability: Language control.

Favorability rating: Never give up.

Upon seeing the "favorability rating" section, Depp immediately became somewhat angry.

Damn it, you've lost your memory, yet you still come at us like you're going to fight to the death!

Look at those young and beautiful girls and ladies, which one of them didn't have a good impression of me when they first met me? How can you be so shameless!

It seems that even with amnesia, Ebony Maw, being a born villain, cannot be lured to his side.
