“Wow, Master, you’re right. The Flash is definitely acting strangely. I just took a look with Feather Dust, and he’s completely unconscious. His mind is even quieter than a dead person,” Void Treasury said.
Even people who are in a coma or in a dormant state will still have fluctuations in consciousness. Without exception, the weak consciousness of the Void Archives, the villains in the dormant state, could all be sensed. But the Flash in front of us is different. He is truly unconscious, without the slightest bit of consciousness.
“His brain is intact, but you say he has no consciousness… This only happens in truly dead people, so saying he is still alive is not quite accurate.”
Carl recalled the news reports he had seen before: The Flash died in battle, and his last mission was to fight the Conqueror Starro alongside the Justice League.
Who is Staro? He can almost be called the strongest psychic in the universe. It's quite normal for the Flash to die at his hands. This is perhaps different from what most people think. His death was not based on the physical, but on the mental.
Carl guessed that this was probably the case.
During the battle, the Flash was hit by Starro's attack, and his mind and soul were completely destroyed, leaving his body unable to move an inch.
The Justice League members observed that the Flash's heartbeat had stopped and he had stopped breathing, so they concluded that he was dead. This was not wrong, because if organs stop functioning, even a person who was originally alive would die.
However, to be more precise, the Flash's condition at the time was that he was dead, but not completely dead.
The Dark Batman noticed this. His massive underground base couldn't have been built in just six months. He probably had the idea of researching superhumans a long time ago. This incident just happened, so he went along with it and arranged the Flash's funeral, but secretly stole the Flash's body, keeping him alive at the last shred of life.
The dead speedster is just an ordinary person, but the Flash's half-dead state is too special. Therefore, the connection between his body and the space in the speed dimension has not been broken. He is still a speedster, a speedster without consciousness.
Dr. Stone is examining the Flash and Poison Ivy's physical condition, preparing for preliminary experiments. His research indicates that the generation of the Speed Force is closely related to the speedster's activity level. He has stimulated the body in various ways, hoping to obtain more Speed Force, and this time he plans to try it out using Poison Ivy's abilities.
During the preparations, one of the researchers responsible for inspecting 'Poison Ivy' suddenly said, "God bless us, I hope we can get enough Speed Force this time. It's been too long since we last achieved anything."
After he finished speaking, the entire laboratory suddenly fell silent. The man sensed something was wrong and quickly looked up, only to see Dr. Stone's stern face.
"Doctor...I...I..." The man realized what he had done wrong; he had accidentally uttered a forbidden word.
Dr. Stone stared at him for a full half minute, until he saw the man sweating profusely, before slowly saying, "You should be glad you said that word now. If it had been three months ago, you would be lying on the lab table right now."
The man seemed relieved and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, Doctor, the force field we created using Experiment 001 can block any form of sound transmission. Otherwise, the aliens would have heard those half-baked words outside long ago."
Dr. Stone agrees with this statement. The Flash has been dead for six months, and his team has been studying him for about six months, achieving some results three months ago.
Enveloped by the speed field, the underground base will have an effect similar to another dimension, making it impossible to detect by ordinary detection methods. At the same time, many fluctuations, including sound, cannot be transmitted out of its interior.
The list of forbidden words on the laboratory wall was set up beforehand to prevent Superman from knowing what was happening inside the base.
Superman's hearing is so strong that he can hear the entire Earth, but with so many sounds in the world, he certainly can't pay attention to every single word all the time. Most of the time, Superman relies on listening for keywords to capture information relevant to himself, while ignoring other sounds.
Before the Speed Force was established, everyone in the underground base lived on thin ice, afraid that they might say something wrong and attract Superman. Their lives only got better after that, and they recruited more members. Most of the people in the outer area were recruited after that.
Dr. Stone knew, of course, that whether or not forbidden words were used was irrelevant; even if they stipulated that they shouldn't use them, the people in the outer districts had already said them all.
However, he still required the people in the middle zone not to say those words. They were fighting against aliens and had to be extremely vigilant. Those words would serve as a reminder to maintain the tension they had before the force field was set up.
“You’re right, the people in the outer districts have been using those terms for a while now,” Dr. Stone said.
Upon hearing this, the man smiled, but Dr. Stone then added, "Since you enjoy using these words so much, then go join them. From now on, you no longer belong to this area!"
"Wh...what, Dr. Stone, you can't do this to me! I contributed to the invention of the force field, I deserve credit!"
"Didn't you hear me? Please leave. We're about to conduct an experiment."
"You! You!" The man was so angry that he could barely speak. His anger overwhelmed his reason, and he suddenly roared and lunged at Dr. Stone.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Faced with the angry man, Dr. Stone stood still. On the one hand, he was just a frail scientist and didn't have the ability to hide even if he wanted to. On the other hand, he didn't need to.
Just as the man was about to make his move, several large doors suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the laboratory, and the machine guns that had been lying in ambush there instantly locked onto the target, riddling the man with bullets.
"Fool, everything here is under Brother Eye's surveillance," Dr. Stone thought to himself, watching coldly as the other man's body was automatically cleaned up by the laboratory's machinery.
"What are you standing there for? Continue the experiment," Dr. Stone snapped.
The other researchers were also taken aback; they had never known they had so many weapons on their heads. After asking for a while, they answered loudly, "Yes!"
Stone nodded in satisfaction as he saw the people working more diligently; it was actually the first time he had ever seen these weapons actually move.
When Batman first started working with him, he told him that there were weapons in the lab that could shoot someone before they uttered a forbidden word, as an extra layer of insurance.
People back then were very law-abiding, so these weapons never had a chance to be seen. After the force field was set up, people no longer needed to worry about being overheard by Superman when they spoke, so the chances of using these weapons were even fewer. However, whether in the past or present, these weapons are directly controlled by the Brother Eyes made by Batman.
"Destroying aliens is no easy task. Everyone, stay alert. We must be careful and meticulous, leaving no loopholes, just like Mr. Luther."
Dr. Stone recalled a conversation he had a year earlier with Lex Luthor, who kept explaining the dangers of aliens, especially Superman.
He only remembered those words at the time and didn't really take them to heart, but who knew that Lex Luthor would die in his office that very night.
To this day, no media outlets have reported the real culprit, but all I know is that it must have been Superman who did it. He wouldn't allow any Earthling to challenge his authority; he wanted to stand above the Earth like his own sculpture.
Lex Luthor was right. All aliens are beings that need to be eliminated. They are all evil. If it weren't for the aliens, his son wouldn't have become a half-human, half-machine monster.
Destroying aliens is no easy task. He had the idea but had no idea how to achieve it until one day Batman approached him and gave him the opportunity to research the Speed Force.
The Speed Force was definitely the most amazing energy he had ever seen. The more he studied it, the less he could see its end. It was like an ever-expanding circle. The more known things it contained, the more unknown things it encountered as its circumference increased.
The Flash's soul is dead, so he can research the Speed Force without the hassle of getting the other party's cooperation. However, because of the other party's death, the generation of the Speed Force is very troublesome, and he has to think of various ways to improve efficiency.
Dr. Stone looked at 'Poison Ivy' on the lab table, hoping that the experiment would be a success.
Suddenly, Stone Dog's eyes widened, and he slapped his head, shouting, "Wait, I've got an idea! Why didn't I think of doing this before! This is great!"
The sudden sound startled those nearby, who cautiously asked, "Dr. Stone, what is this...?"
"I've got an idea! I just came up with a way to use the Speed Force to connect to other universes and send those annoying things away!" Dr. Stone said excitedly. "Stop the stimulation experiment for now, I need to verify my idea immediately."
The others reluctantly put down their half-finished work. What could they do? After all, the other party was the true owner of the laboratory, and having just seen the weapons on the ceiling, they didn't want to disobey him.
Everyone quickly packed up their things, put away the previous experimental subjects, and prepared new items.
……
"Master, is this alright?" asked Void Treasury.
"Yes, we'll use Feather Dust to slowly invade these people's minds and get them to complete the research."
Karl wanted the universe to remain as stable as possible, and the most stable way was to keep everything as it was. What was a more stable way to conduct research right under the other side's nose?
Chapter 321 The Person Who Shouldn't Be There
The Dark Batman is very concerned about the Speed Force Laboratory. Just to get in, you have to go through a lot of security checks. And once inside the laboratory, every move you make will be monitored by the Brother Eye, ensuring that the place is always under his control.
However, no matter how well Batman prepared, he was ultimately only operating within the scope of his knowledge. He had never come into contact with Honkai energy before, so naturally he couldn't prepare the corresponding detection methods.
The best time to deal with Batman is the first time you meet him. Batman has been defeated by his first encounter countless times, and this time will be no exception.
The effect of Feathered Dust is inherently subtle, and Karl interferes in a gradual and imperceptible way, first infiltrating the opponent's mind with false thoughts, making the opponent believe that the inspiration is his own, and then slowly achieving the goal of controlling everyone.
As they were already conducting experiments in the lab, their research was progressing in the direction Karl wanted, and things only got smoother from there.
……
Marvel Universe, S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicopter.
Director Nick Fury persuaded his superiors to maintain the status quo for the time being, but with Mebius staying quietly by the Avengers' side these past two days, they seemed to think it was time to test the waters.
They didn't do anything openly, but various factions and ambitious individuals were preparing to secretly send agents to make contact.
Nick Fury knew he had to find a way to stop them; Möbius was never someone you could safely approach, and he couldn't let someone so reckless provoke him.
However, despite his thoughts, he could not openly and honestly obstruct it.
The majority of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funding comes from those people, so theoretically, S.H.I.E.L.D. is actually a subordinate organization, which is why they shouldn't be the ones to show their faces.
"We can't use the officially registered S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but since the other party is making contact covertly, it's normal to encounter some additional dangers..."
Nick Fury thought, "As long as the people stopping them aren't from S.H.I.E.L.D., it's best if they think it's some mysterious organization trying to stop them."
"However, this means we can't use too many people. If one of the agents is captured, it could very well implicate S.H.I.E.L.D."
"The person who carries out this mission must first not have close ties with S.H.I.E.L.D. on the surface, and secondly, must have sufficient combat power to ensure that they are not captured while completing the mission, or even if they are captured, they will not be tortured into revealing useful information."
"In that case, there are fewer suitable candidates. Secret agents are not easy to find."
Nick Fury paced around his desk, pondering the most suitable candidate.
After thinking about it for several minutes, Nick Fury finally sighed heavily and said, "Fine, let's try sending that new guy. Although he seems unreliable, he's definitely someone who can keep secrets if he wants to, and he's quite capable too."
The scene shifts to an abandoned factory where the Avengers are preparing to capture Ultron.
The most troublesome aspect of Ultraman as a villain is its artificial intelligence identity. Infiltrating the cyber world, it can relocate and back up at any time. Theoretically, unless the entire network on Earth is destroyed, it is indestructible.
However, Ultron wanted more than just survival; it wanted to eliminate all of humanity and achieve true world peace.
His first attempt to provoke a fight between the Avengers and Mebius failed, so he has to come up with a new plan.
The best and most efficient way would undoubtedly be to directly control nuclear weapons on Earth for land clearing, but this is not achievable in the short term.
Because Iron Man's AI butler Jarvis is not actually dead, he has been preventing him from stealing the nuclear bomb codes in the cyber world, and his existence has been exposed, with countries strengthening their defenses in this area, making it even more difficult for him to achieve his goal.
It's no longer feasible to exterminate humanity using the power of the internet alone. Therefore, Ultron needs a real body, and this body must be extremely powerful. Otherwise, it would be easily destroyed by the Avengers, just like the security robots he previously controlled.
For this reason, Ultron contacted a black market dealer online who had vibranium for sale.
Money wasn't important to him; he could easily obtain enough funds by hacking into some accounts. So he easily obtained the opportunity to meet the other party, and this factory was where he conducted transactions with black market merchants. However, the Avengers had already learned of this location.
Mebius watched as the Avengers stormed into the factory, leaving only Dr. Banner behind on the spaceship.
She and Tiamat didn't go in because there was no need; even if they destroyed Ultron now, it wouldn't have the slightest impact on him online.
It would be better to just let the story unfold as it is, and wait until the other party creates a visionary body inlaid with the Mind Stone before making a move.
Vision, the AI who possesses the Mind Stone, can destroy Ultron's online clones, leaving only his robotic body in the real world. It would be easiest to take action then.
Moreover, when it comes to Vision's body, he also has an artificial intelligence that he can use.
In the original story, Iron Man stole the body that Ultron had prepared for him and planned to input Jarvis into it to gain new power to fight Ultron.
However, due to the distrust of others who did not want to see Iron Man create new artificial intelligence, the input process was not perfect, which ultimately led to the birth of Vision.
If she were to do it herself, she would undoubtedly get a very obedient Mind Gem robot after inputting the AI grid.
The Mind Stone will eventually be taken away anyway. Rather than leaving it with Vision, who is relatively neutral, and then trying to borrow or steal it later, it's better to have it kept by the Grid so they can take it whenever they want.
Möbius thought to himself and chuckled twice.
The child's clear and crisp voice was very pleasant to hear, like a silver bell tinkling in the wind, but Dr. Banner, who was standing nearby, was startled.
Since Hulk was defeated by his opponent, he hasn't had the urge to transform for a while, which should have been a happy thing for him. However, when he thinks about the half-snake monster and the images of Hulk that he saw later, he is still a little scared, even though the other party looks like a cute little girl.
Mebius noticed Dr. Banner's unease, so she moved the floating briefcase beneath her closer to him and said, "Oh dear, Uncle, are you afraid of me?"
“Uh, no…no.” Dr. Banner waved his hand.
