After careful consideration, he felt that this was indeed a very efficient method. Before obtaining the 'heart', the Machine Race were purely rational beings, so whether it was coercion or bribery, they saw no difference; it was just a matter that needed to be dealt with, which gave Karl no psychological burden.

“Dian Kai…”

The instant Karl finished speaking, the Mechs collectively switched to battle mode, unleashing countless spells mimicking those of other races.

Karl didn't dodge because his goal was to get the machine race to agree to cooperate with him, not to actually destroy them. So the key was to demonstrate overwhelming power and make them feel that cooperation was the most reasonable option.

"Battle results analysis: We failed to penetrate the enemy's armor. It is suspected that we were blocked by some kind of force field. We are starting to change our combat mode."

After realizing that the first round of attacks had failed, the machine changed its battle plan. Most of the machines began to approach Karl, while the rest hid in the rear, preparing powerful attack spells such as the Dragon Roar.

"Before you continue, let's analyze this first."

Karl unleashed a weak heat vision at a Machine-type creature, and due to the nature of Machine-type creatures, they completed the analysis, copying, and reproduction process almost instantly.

"Pseudo-classics in the spotlight".

Thermal vision is not simply high thermal energy; it can also be accompanied by powerful thrust. In some versions, it can even kill ghosts and has even been described as having cosmic-level wiping capabilities.

However, that only applies when the power is fully unleashed. The heat vision that controls the power is not overly complicated compared to other energies, and the machine armor user mastered it quickly, which is exactly what Karl wanted.

Karl blew through the Machine Race's blockade in one breath and rushed directly in front of the Link, while simultaneously gathering energy in his eyes that could evaporate a planet.

Chapter 273 Coercion and Enticement

"We surrender."

The moment Karl stood before the Linked One, the Machine Race surrendered.

After copying the thermal vision, the Machines gained an understanding of this energy from another world. Even though Karl didn't actually release it, they could estimate how much damage Karl's thermal vision could cause.

“I knew you’d figure it out.” Karl immediately stopped amicably. He was behaving like a villain who had succeeded in his scheme, and no matter what expression he made, he looked like a smiling tiger. Fortunately, he was used to it.

“This is the most efficient solution, provided that your requirements are exactly as you described,” the Connector said.

“Of course, let’s begin.” Karl took out all the marrow bursts, which was the entire stockpile of the goblin race.

Coercion is very effective, but its effectiveness is due to the special nature of the machine race. In most cases, it would be better to supplement it with enticement.

……

In the Marvel universe, Kingpin's underground laboratory.

The villains have been subdued, and now it's time for the Spider-Men to go home.

"Hey guys, I've rebuilt the decoder. It should be able to send you back to the collider." Spider-Man and Spider-Son reappeared on the scene with the decoder. Teleportation is really convenient; no more wasting time on traveling.

"Although it's a little hard to say goodbye, we're all going home now. Goodbye to the 'Spider-Man's' in other worlds."

The languishing Spider-Man, Spider-Gwen, and Spider-Ham all jumped into the collider and returned to their own universes. If they had stayed any longer, they would have collapsed due to the repulsion of the universe.

“I’ll miss you guys,” Spider-Man said, hanging upside down from the ceiling, then turned to his friends and asked, “Aren’t you guys leaving?”

"This machine can open the door to parallel worlds, right?" Riku didn't answer Spider-Man, but instead asked a question.

Although it was a bit sudden, Spider-Man still answered properly, since the other party was his savior: "Yes, that's right, Kingpin wants to bring his family from a parallel world over, that's insane."

“Indeed,” Riku agreed, then said, “Since the other side can bring people from other worlds into this world, can it also make people from its own world go and play in other worlds?”

“Hmm, I haven’t looked into that feature in detail, but it should be feasible. Just like how Gwen and Spider-Man randomly appear in various corners of the city, they can travel through any door that’s open without needing anything to meet them at their destination,” Spider-Man replied.

Then he asked, "Are you asking this because you want to do something with the collider?"

“Yes, my world is terrible. Maybe it would be better to move to a parallel world,” Riku admitted.

Spider-Man's first reaction was to refuse, urging the other party not to use the collider. It was far too dangerous; it had already caused a large amount of unstable matter to appear in New York after just a short time. If the collider went out of control, the entire city could be sucked into a black hole.

"Is it really that bad? Is there no possibility of overcoming it?" Spider-Man gently persuaded.

“On my continent, there are fewer than 3000 humans,” Riku said directly.

"Oh my god!" Spider-Man had always felt that the atmosphere around Riku was very gloomy, and that he was probably not having a good time most of the time, but he did not expect that the situation on his side was so serious. More than 2000 people, isn't that a number that could be wiped out at any time?

"Are you planning to use the collider to migrate to other worlds?" Spider-Man asked.

Riku nodded. Although Karl had gone to his world to help, it would still be better for humanity to move to the new world even after the war ended. Humanity, with only 2000 people, was completely unsuitable to fight against a fully developed race.

Spider-Man wanted to persuade him again, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that if it really came down to the point of the survival of the race, the risk of the collider was actually acceptable. It would devour a city if it went out of control, but there were only two thousand people left. What use would a city be then?

“I understand what you mean. This is indeed the method you’re looking for. I’ll help you, but first we need to get Kingpin to stop the collider.”

Spider-Man said, climbing to the top of the collider and tearing off the decoder. The collider would become increasingly unstable if it continued to operate, until it destroyed the entire city. But if the decoder was not removed, the collider would self-destruct into a pile of atoms.

hum~

Just as Spider-Man finished this step, his obsessive senses suddenly detected danger, causing him to quickly jump backward, whereupon a bullet grazed past him.

"I won't let you stop me, Spider-Man. Even if you bring a bunch of helpers, it won't matter. I've already killed the Spider-Man of this universe, and you won't be any different!"

Kingpin, who was as big as a ball, appeared before everyone.

Kingpin is an ordinary person without superpowers, but if you really want to compare, his fighting power is probably the strongest among these villains. His seemingly fat body is actually all muscle, and his pure strength even surpasses that of the Green Goblin.

"Are you sure you don't intend to stop?" Kingpin came on menacingly, but Riku spoke with an air of confidence and flew to Spider-Man's side to whisper a few words in his ear.

"Kingpin, look who I am." Spider-Man took off his mask, revealing his signature blond hair. His identity had already been exposed and everyone knew what he looked like, so taking off the mask didn't matter.

“What are you trying to say?” Kingpin demanded.

“I am Spider-Man, and also Peter Parker. The other day I was killed by you for destroying New York City for the collider,” Spider-Man continued.

"..."

"Yes, you're right. I'm not Spider-Man from another world. I'm the one you know, the one who always ruins your plans. I've been resurrected. Don't you want to know how I was resurrected?"

Kingpin remained silent. He admitted that he was tempted. Why did he want to bring his wife and children from other worlds over, even though he knew they weren't his real partners? It was because he couldn't find a way to resurrect them. If he could, he certainly wouldn't have built the collider.

The purple light ring on Riku's hand emitted a soft glow. As one of the extremes of the emotional spectrum, it had a very strong influence on the emotions of others. Unbeknownst to him, Kingpin's hatred for Spider-Man was gradually overshadowed by feelings of love.

“If you’re telling the truth, I’m willing to give anything for them, and I’ll turn myself in if they can really come back to life,” Kingpin said.

Spider-Man has thwarted many of King's schemes, but he has never actually sent him to prison. King was too good at disguising himself, maintaining his philanthropic identity without revealing any evidence of his crimes.

“Let’s talk about that later. First, let’s bring the collider to a safe stop,” Riku said.

Chapter 274 The Possibilities of the Everyday Universe

A day later, Karl, holding a long spear, left the territory of the machine race with satisfaction.

"The method of stripping away the essence has been incorporated into this spear. In a sense, this can also be considered a spear that kills gods. However, we do not yet know how effective this thing will be."

The Machine Race deduced a method to make the Divine Marrow fall into slumber again through the Marrow Explosion, just like in the original story, by influencing the Divine Marrow to make the Divine Race fall asleep again.

However, this time the Machine Gun was ultimately forced to be manufactured. Although Karl paid close attention to the entire manufacturing process and could confirm that there were no traps, he was not familiar with the existence of magic like Divine Essence, so he could not be sure whether the Machine Gun had cut corners in the God-Slaying Spear.

"I'll try it out on a god," Karl thought, and began flying towards the territory of the forest elves. The forest, the source of the forest god's power, was almost gone. Karl planned to go and try it out on the other god after experiencing magic with Sink.

Just as Karl was flying halfway there, the chat group in his mind vibrated. Karl opened it and saw that his friends had completed their missions and returned to their own worlds.

"Pretty fast, but that makes sense. It wasn't a difficult task to begin with. As long as you stay in New York City and don't trigger any extra storylines, it's easy to complete."

[Superman]: Mr. Riku, how was your first trip to another world?

Carl greeted them in the group chat.

[The Unvictorious]: Very good. Thank you for lending me the Purple Lamp Ring. It played a crucial role. Where are you now? I'll return it to you.

[Superman]: No need, you keep it. There's no one to use the ring if I leave it here, so you keep it. Just be careful, the love represented by the purple light ring is one of the most extreme emotional energies. Don't let the ring affect your mind.

Carl wasn't planning on making another trip to return the ring. Besides, keeping the Purple Lantern Ring was a good idea. Having the Purple Lantern Ring was basically like having an extra life. Although this method of resurrection only worked between couples, Carl might be able to use it in the future.

[The Unwinner]: Thank you so much. I'll keep it for now and let you know when you want it back.

[Superman]: That's settled then. The ring has many functions, and given humanity's current situation, it should be useful in many places.

[The Unwinner]: Thank you, but I actually have another plan regarding this.

Riku briefly recounted to Carl what had happened in the mission world, how he resurrected Spider-Man, and how he persuaded Kingpin to transfer the collider to him.

Carl listened to Riku's story with mixed feelings. He hadn't expected that Riku had the same idea of ​​moving as him, and it seemed that Riku was making good progress and had a high chance of success.

[Superman]: So you used the power of the Purple Lantern Ring, with the condition of resurrecting the other party's wife and children, to get the collider that can travel through parallel worlds from Kingpin.

[The Man Without Victory]: That's right, but by the way, I didn't actually resurrect Kingpin's wife and children.

[Superman]: Why?

[The Unwinner]: Because I can't do it. You know, the resurrection of the Purple Lantern Ring requires a deep love between the two people. Kingpin did love his wife and son very much, but the other party no longer meets the requirements of the ring.

[The Unwinner]: Kingpin's wife and children died in a car accident. The reason they were driving that day was because they could no longer stand Kingpin's gangster business and wanted to leave him.

[The Unwinnable]: Perhaps Kingpin's wife still had some lingering feelings for him, but those remaining emotions were not enough to support his resurrection. Moreover, Kingpin wanted to resurrect two people, one of whom was a child who did not even understand what love was, so naturally he could not be resurrected.

[Superman]: Kingpin must be furious.

[The Unwinnable]: Indeed, but no matter how angry he is, he can only go to prison first. I have already obtained the collider and his incriminating evidence in advance, and have spread it to major websites around the world using the light ring.

Carl nodded to himself. Although Riku's actions seemed dishonest, they were the deserved outcome for Kingpin. After all, no one says good people can't use dirty tricks.

The other party should have been in jail long ago. Even a good person like Spider-Man didn't do anything to the other party because he couldn't find any evidence of their crimes.

After chatting for a few minutes in the group chat, Carl and Riku changed direction and arrived at the cave where Shubi was. Riku had already returned there, and Carl saw not only the two of them, but also the collider that occupied most of the cave.

"Is this the machine that can travel between parallel worlds?" Karl asked.

“That’s right. I plan to use it to find a relatively peaceful world as my new home, just like Earth in the mission world we just talked about. I’ll find a world where there are only humans and no other special races.” Riku replied immediately, his tone filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Carl nodded. It was indeed similar to what he had thought; they both hoped to find an ordinary world to be their new home.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Carl asked enthusiastically.

Helping Riku would also be very beneficial for Carl. The No Game No Life world is different from the DC universe. It is not surrounded by similar parallel worlds, but by completely different universes, in which the everyday world also exists.

If Karl were to travel between parallel universes, it would only be a temporary fix, merely keeping him confined to the multiverse. In fact, if he were unlucky, he might end up in an even worse universe.

But Riku is different; he can actually achieve his goal by doing this, since there's no such thing as the Wall of Origin here.

If he succeeds, Carl can use the chat group and the Speed ​​Force to locate that universe, which is a real everyday world, just like the world where Blank, the protagonist of No Game No Life, originally lived.

“Shubi is analyzing this machine and trying to optimize it. It’s too unstable right now; it could turn into a black hole if we’re not careful. It’s too risky to transport all of humanity,” Riku said.

"How's the progress?"

After scanning the collider, Shubi replied, "This is a completely new technology that doesn't use any spirits. Shubi needs some more time before she's confident she can modify it."
