Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

In this scene, Ant-Man returns from the Quantum Realm, carrying the Wasp, who is clearly zombified and has half of her body mechanically transformed.

Then, the Wasp bit Ant-Man in a fit of rage the moment she woke up, and then... a zombie crisis swept across the entire universe.

Clearly, this is the origin of the zombie crisis in this universe!

The second scene is from the zombie Tony.

In this scene, the streets of New York have become noticeably dilapidated and desolate, indicating that the zombie crisis has been raging for some time.

In the memory, the zombie Tony is feasting on Happy's corpse.

As a highly intelligent individual, Tony is much smarter than other zombies, even after becoming one.

To prevent himself from going hungry in the future, shortly after turning into a zombie, he cut off all the entrances and exits of Stark Tower.

He killed all the survivors and sealed them in a cold storage.

This meant that while other zombies outside had no food to eat, zombie Tony still had plenty of supplies.

On that very day, the quantum teleportation device he had stored in the basement of Stark Tower activated on its own.

That was the quantum realm time travel machine they built to fight Thanos who snapped his fingers (see Avengers: Endgame).

The machine started up on its own, and four figures of different shapes appeared in the blue light. They were wearing blue bodysuits and their bodies were severely decomposed—the Fantastic Four!

They arrived in this universe full of joy, ready to feast to their hearts' content, only to be shocked to discover that a zombie crisis had already begun in this universe.

This led them to believe that they had not successfully traveled through a parallel universe, but had instead traveled back to the past.

Enraged, they beat up the zombie Tony who was hoarding his loot, then stormed out of Stark Tower, managed to eat a hearty meal, and regained their senses before carrying out a second round of modifications to the machine.

In order to ensure that the machine could truly achieve time travel, rather than simply time travel, a group of zombies were captured and used as test subjects.

It seems that the horde of zombies they just faced was delivered by the Fantastic Four...

For some reason, the Fantastic Four didn't follow closely behind.

Furthermore, my universe hasn't researched inter-universe teleportation devices, so why can these zombies appear here directly?

Logically speaking, even if they successfully completed the time travel, they should have traveled to a universe that also has inter-universe teleportation devices, instead of just falling from the sky like that!

"Peter, did you find anything?" Gwen couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw Peter open his eyes.

Peter nodded, then shook his head:

"There have been some gains. What is certain is that at least one universe has encountered a zombie crisis."

However, for a more specific situation, we might need to conduct a more detailed memory collection over there!

"So you mean that the zombie heroes we're dealing with were transformed from zombie heroes from another world!"

"Now, are you also planning to go to their universe to see what the origin of these zombies is?" Tony pressed.

“That’s right, exactly.” Peter agreed with Tony’s ability to summarize.

"Even if we can't determine the origin of the zombies, we must destroy that damn machine. Otherwise, wouldn't we be constantly on guard against potential zombie outbreaks?"

“Sounds interesting, count me in!” Tony thumped his steel chest, his face full of eagerness.

No man can resist the urge to go on a killing spree in the apocalypse, although if we actually traveled there, Peter would most likely be in charge of the killing, and the rest of us would just be there to watch...

"Then I'll go too!" Harry and Steve Rogers, those two goofballs, eagerly raised their hands.

“My healing abilities can help, count me in!” Gwen chimed in.

Then came Felicia, Natasha, Daisy, and others.

Seeing that more and more people were signing up, Peter rubbed his temples in exasperation and finally had to select people himself.

Tony, Steve, Carter, Harry, Gwen, Felicia, Daisy, Natasha, Wanda, and Ishtar, who just finished absorbing the Celestial Fragment and could act as a spaceship to take everyone away at a crucial moment.

The zombie space exploration team, consisting of 11 people including Peter himself, was officially formed.

"The rest of you can stay here on Earth and guard the home front. Don't worry, my symbiote is now connected to all of you. If any problems arise, I will bring people back to support you immediately!"

After leaving those words, Peter took out the Black Death Sword and cleaved through the void, beginning his journey through the zombie universe with Gwen and the others.

Chapter 515 Wanda: Me Again?

Earth-89521.

As a spatial portal appeared, the 11-person team filed out, looking at this completely unknown world with a mixture of nervousness and curiosity.

The sky was foggy, and everything in sight looked dilapidated and desolate.

The distant ruins were covered with vines and moss, looking absolutely terrible.

Peter frowned slightly after landing, because he found that the situation was not quite what he had expected.

The environment here seems even more dilapidated than it was before those zombie heroes crossed over.

In just a few days, the environment should not have deteriorated to this extent!

Judging from the appearance, the city in front of me is at least three to five years removed from the images in the memories of the zombies I've been searching for!

How could this be?

Peter was initially confused, then a scene flashed before his eyes:

It was the scene of him using a deliberate punch with multiple energy amplifications to directly blast Arithm's energy ball, which resembled a two-dimensional foil strike, apart head-on.

I didn't think that much about it during the battle, but now that I think about it, the two-dimensional foil energy ball that Arithm used might have involved knowledge of the quantum realm.

His previous crude and deliberate punch, imbued with various top-tier energies, shattered that energy sphere, which may have directly triggered the collapse of multiple quantum realms, leading to significant chaos in the timeline and the multiverse.

So, because the barriers between the timeline and the multiverse are unstable, this caused his cosmic journey to not only cross space but also affect time?!

Just as this thought crossed Peter's mind, several figures rushed over from different directions.

Upon seeing these figures, only Peter showed a knowing expression, while the rest of the people present looked completely bewildered.

The reason is simple: these zombie superheroes, such as Beast, Psylocke, Angel, Moonstone, Bionic Bird, and Nova, simply do not exist in Peter's universe.

There are no mutants in Peter's universe to begin with. In addition, the original Avengers team, led by Peter, is far more powerful than most parallel heroes in other universes thanks to Peter's enhancements. This creates a situation that is similar to being the sole superpower of all time.

Peter and his crew single-handedly reduced the global crime rate. Without the catalyst of supervillains, the superheroes who should have been born had no job opportunities and all became ordinary, unambitious people.

Peter had no intention of fighting back against these second- or third-rate zombie superheroes who were rushing at him.

Instead, he simply crossed his arms, looking like he was watching a good show.

And Gwen and the others beside him did not disappoint him. Despite the severe intelligence asymmetry, they rushed forward immediately.

Well, okay, saying that there is an information asymmetry is actually very inaccurate.

While Gwen and the others didn't recognize these second- or third-rate superheroes from the zombie universe, these zombie heroes, in turn, were unaware of just how terrifying these seemingly familiar superheroes were.

Harry unfurled his golden iron wings, easily severing the zombie angel in mid-air, which was now only half its body.

Captain America's body swelled to over three meters tall, and he smashed the zombie beast's body to pieces with a single punch.

Psylocke fought two blows with all her might, but in the blink of an eye, the energy sword in her hand was shattered to pieces by Katarina in her Steel Lizard form.

"These guys... are so weak!"

Just as Harry uttered this thought, Gwen's spider-like reaction triggered instantly, and she immediately reminded him:

"Wanda, watch out!"

Wanda was startled, and crimson chaotic magic instantly appeared in her eyes, protecting her from all sides.

The moment the magic enveloped her body, an arrow shot towards the back of Wanda's head, but it was immediately bound by chaos magic, trembled in mid-air for a moment, and then cracked into several pieces.

"Who goes there?!"

Gwen's spider silk shot out without hesitation, sticking directly to the figure drawing a bow at the third-floor window on the right, and with a sudden tug, pulled the person down.

A young girl was suddenly pulled down from the third floor, and she screamed at an extremely high decibel level in fright.

Noticing that the girl didn't seem to be a zombie, Gwen flicked her wrist, ready to spare her life, but before she could make a move, she was surprised to find that her spider silk had stopped in mid-air.

It was a strange purple energy that held the purple-clad girl's body steady, like a tangible chaotic energy.

At the same time, two more people jumped out from both sides of the ruins. One of them was wearing blue and red steel armor, with dark blue mechanical light shining through the gaps in the armor.

The other figure was agile, with crystalline blue-purple light emanating from his hands.

Peter glanced at the three girls and immediately determined their identities:

Kate Bishop, the second Hawkeye; Lily Williams, the Iron Heart; and Kamala Khan, the Marvel Girl.

Although the three young girls' faces were filled with fear, they still tacitly formed a triangular formation, subtly surrounding Peter and the others in the center.

Kate's arrow pointed at Wanda, and the armored arm of Ironheart glowed with an energy-charging light, while the energy ball in Marvel's palm spun rapidly.

Kate's gaze was fixed on Wanda, her voice tinged with suppressed anger and a hint of barely perceptible fear:

"Don't move! Where did you come from?"

Iron Heart lifted his mask and spoke without hesitation:

"Kate, why waste your breath on them? Didn't you see that woman has the same abilities as the Queen? She must be one of the Queen's kind!"

The magical girl clenched her fist, and the energy ball in her palm glowed even brighter:

“Lily is right, she and the Queen are both users of that red energy!”

Looking at the three girls who were hostile to them, Peter clicked his tongue and then released a Conqueror's Haki of about one-thousandth its strength.

The moment the Conqueror's Haki was unleashed, the three seemingly strong girls instantly knelt on the ground, their faces turning deathly pale.

"What kind of Pava is this?!"

Despite being clad in his battle suit, Iron Heart, though weak and sore, could still control the mech with his mind. Without hesitation, he spoke with a tragic air:

"Kate, and Kamara, you two go quickly, I'll cover your retreat."

Peter helplessly flicked his wrist, and a ball of lightning instantly short-circuited Ironheart's suit.

Only after the three girls were trembling with fear did he speak:

"Calm down, we're not from your universe. We're here to investigate that time-travel device, we're just passing through."

Also, by the way, is the 'Queen' you're referring to... Wanda, the zombie leader of this universe?

Upon hearing this, Wanda couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
