I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

"There's nothing to thank me for. You're no longer at the Wall of Origin, so this method has lost its meaning. Besides, we haven't even really taken any action yet."

Karl shook his head and continued, "No, I just thought about it, and if the Infinity Stones were really feasible, they would be extremely useful."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course."

Mebius tapped his chin and thought about it carefully. It seemed that there was indeed some truth to it. Putting everything else aside, if they got there quickly enough, just telling the superheroes about the existence of the Dark Multiverse would bring them a great deal of help.

“If that’s the case, then it seems the collection of Infinity Stones will have to continue… However, I’ve encountered a slight bottleneck in this matter,” Möbius said.

"What bottleneck?" Karl asked.

Then Möbius expressed his desire to get his hands on the Space Stone first.

She was unaware that Odin had given an order to prevent her from ever approaching Asgard, but she still considered it a bottleneck. Because whatever she did, whether she could ultimately reach Asgard depended entirely on Heldam's will, and the probability of success was highly dependent on luck.

"Is that so?" Karl said after hearing this. "Perhaps I can find someone to help you."

Asgard is known as the ruler of the Nine Realms, but these nine worlds are not adjacent planets. They are geographically far apart and are connected only by a naturally existing passage in space and time. Thor usually has to rely on the Rainbow Bridge to travel between them.

Karl could use his All-Seeing Eye to locate Asgard, then gradually find its cosmic coordinates based on the surrounding environment, and finally forcefully fly there with his people.

However, this is just a 'clumsy' method. It can be effective but is very cumbersome and can easily make people anxious. It is far less convenient than simply finding a helper.

Karl was multitasking, talking to Möbius while keeping an eye on the chat group.

He had only been in the Marvel Universe for a short while when the talkative Deadpool had already told everyone about his situation in the group chat. In reality, his mouth was still sealed, so he could only ramble on in the group chat.

Karl glanced at the group chat and saw that, given the good reputation he had been cultivating, most of the group members had expressed clear willingness to help him in his predicament. Whether it was the doctors and others who had received his direct assistance, or Tokisaki Kurumi and Gan Yu who had only acted with him, they were all very enthusiastic.

Carl thanked them one by one, and then saw one of the messages.

[Spider]: @Superman, do you need any help?

It was only a few words, but considering that the person who sent it was Spider, it was actually a very enthusiastic gesture. Spider rarely even posts anything, let alone mentions anyone.

Chapter 326 Changing Course

Spider was living a good life in his own world.

Her planet was initially on the verge of destruction, but was kept afloat by the evil god D by building a system that transformed the planet into an RPG game. However, Karl had already forcibly taken back the energy that had been taken from the true dragon race, and he also rescued the goddess who served as the core of the system.

Previously, Spider's strength had always relied on the system to improve. When she first became a god and left the system, she even fell into the predicament of being unable to mobilize the energy in her body, and her combat power dropped to the level of a village girl.

However, after that, Spider lived with the goddess and, under her guidance, underwent 'rehabilitation training' with the Demon King Ariel.

Today, Spider has fully integrated his methods and even gone a step further, achieving astonishing results in the field of space.

She is different now than before. If she were to undertake the mission of Dawn of Justice again, she would never be reduced to merely being a bystander.

Upon receiving Carl's message and learning that she needed his help, Spider-Woman didn't hesitate for a moment. After communicating with Deadpool and obtaining his consent, she quickly appeared in the Marvel Universe.

Mebius waited for the helper Karl mentioned to appear. She realized that this helper was most likely a member of the group, so she kept her eyes on the spot where Karl had appeared earlier. Sure enough, she soon saw Spider appear.

At this moment, Spider Woman did not put her hood on, since she had just been in her dwelling, so everyone could see her face clearly.

Mebius was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected anyone to be so beautiful. Moreover, with her white clothes and white hair, and her eyes gently closed, she looked like a blind woman, which added to her delicate and fragile appearance.

However, perhaps no one could be born that good-looking, because Mebius could tell at a glance that the other person was definitely not human.

"Besides another one, I'm starting to wonder if he's into this kind of thing... But this beauty seems to have a close relationship with him. Really, why have I never heard him mention her before?" Möbius thought to himself.

After Spider appeared, he remained silent, ignoring the stares of the others, and walked straight behind Karl, standing there quietly with an extremely composed demeanor. Therefore, Möbius concluded that the two had a deep relationship.

However, in reality, this behavior is more due to the spider's personality.

Perhaps because she was actually a spider in her past life, and her personality is based on false memories, Spider's moral values ​​are very strange.

Spider-Woman's treatment of all life other than herself, even those of her 'kin' from her memories, reveals a cold indifference. She usually seems to adhere to morality, but even if her actions cause the deaths of many innocent people, she still doesn't care in the slightest.

However, in contrast to this indifference, Spider is deeply attached to himself and those connected to him, and he will do everything in his power to help those he cares about.

Carl was a great help to Spider-Woman, and she undoubtedly trusted him. As for the others present, she didn't care much about them; they only triggered her social anxiety. Under such circumstances, she would naturally choose to hide behind Carl to minimize the attention others would pay to her.

“Such a cold and aloof person, aren’t you going to introduce yourself to us?” Möbius said.

Karl glanced back at Spider-Girl, knowing her personality, and said, "Let me briefly explain. This is Spider-Girl, some kind of spider goddess. In short, she is very skilled in spatial magic and should be able to help us quickly find the location of the Asgard."

There's a reason why these nine worlds, which are far apart, are collectively known as the Nine Realms. The means of communication between these nine worlds are actually far more than just the Rainbow Bridge.

There are actually many spatial channels of varying sizes and powers that naturally exist between different worlds. During special periods when the nine realms are united, even ordinary people may fall into other worlds due to some accidents.

Getting back to the main point, most of these natural spatial passages are very unstable and their locations are quite hidden. However, it is absolutely possible to use them to travel to Asgard. Thor's brother Loki once used some of these hidden passages.

Spider's talent in spatial manipulation is astonishing, and she has been a god for some time now, so finding a usable passage is by no means difficult for her.

Moreover, even if bad luck is so bad that it leads to the survival of the last remaining piece of land.

“I naturally have no doubt about the abilities of the person you're recommending, but Miss Spider seems quite arrogant. Will our cooperation go smoothly?” Möbius said after listening to Karl's introduction.

"Don't worry, she just doesn't like talking in crowded places. You can just talk normally," Carl said, while also introducing the people present to Spider-Man, keeping the process as brief and quick as possible.

“Really? But I think her temperament only becomes more normal when she’s with you. Why don’t you just lead the team?” Möbius said, looking at Spider.

Karl was well aware of the benefits of doing so, but then he shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I probably won't be able to act directly with you from now on. I also need to handle things in the Dark Universe. In fact, I have to go back first in a little while."

Once things were initially settled, Karl quickly produced a time acceleration device made of elven magic, which he had created after obtaining the Star Cup, combined with the time acceleration array he had previously used with the Forest Elf Sink.

There aren't many special methods that can work on him. Elf energy is one of them. More common methods, like Tokisaki Kurumi's energy, won't work on Karl. Of course, even if they could work, Karl wouldn't target her because Tokisaki Kurumi's abilities consume time. That is, she has to take the lives of others before she can use her abilities. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, where will she get the time?

"Then I'll leave the task of collecting the Infinity Stones to you. I'll head back first."

After handing Spider-Man over to the Marvel universe, Carl quickly returned to the spot he had left in, without any change.

"Ah, Master, you really do keep your word! You're back in less than half an hour." Void Treasury welcomed him, "During that time, I had these people conduct a small experiment and collect some data. We followed the method you left behind strictly, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Karl nodded, but his response was completely beyond Void Treasury's expectations.

"You did a great job. As for the data, it doesn't matter if there are any problems, because we need to change our research direction next."

With the support of the Multiverse Tower, the previous research approach is no longer suitable for the current situation.

Chapter 327 Fusion Technology

A day later, Dr. Stone arrived alone in a secret room.

The place was completely empty, with no furniture or research equipment, except for a bat-shaped screen hanging on the wall in front.

This is where Dr. Stone and Batman communicate. Although both of them know that everything in the lab is being monitored, Batman himself doesn't constantly watch those images.

Dr. Stone is now facing a problem that he can't make up his own mind about, and since Brother Eyes is only responsible for monitoring and preventing abnormal situations, he needs to take the initiative to contact Batman.

As soon as I entered the room, the door behind me closed automatically, and at the same time, the screen displayed an image—a Batman logo—meaning that Batman had been added to the game.

Dr. Stone was not surprised at all; the fact that he was in the room meant that Batman had time to listen to him.

It should be noted that his every move is being recorded by Brother Eye. Once Brother Eye sees him moving into this room, it will naturally notify Batman. If Batman has time and is willing to talk, the screen will light up. Otherwise, he won't even be able to get into the room.

"Doctor, is there something urgent that you're contacting me in such a hurry?" A mechanical, synthesized voice echoed in the room. It was neither Bruce Wayne's real voice nor Batman's voice after it had been altered.

It is nighttime, and the Dark Batman is patrolling Gotham City. Although he received a communication, he cannot speak back. Without the protection of the Speed ​​Field underground, Superman would hear his words.

Dr. Stone didn't pay much attention to the synthesized voice; as long as he confirmed that it was Batman speaking, that was enough.

"That's right. Just now, I made a breakthrough in my understanding of the Speed ​​Force, and after some thought, I came up with a new idea."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Batman was intrigued, but also a little surprised. There had been no new progress for several months since the force field was created, so how come there were now two research proposals all of a sudden?

"My idea is based on the Flash's ability to pass through objects. Vibrating at a specific frequency while running would allow the Flash to pass through walls and even the bodies of living people. However, as far as I know, he doesn't seem to be able to pass through people every time," Dr. Stone said.

The Dark Batman agreed, "That's right. Once, the Flash and Reverse-Flash collided, and they almost couldn't be separated anymore."

Dr. Stone nodded, his tone becoming excited: "My recent breakthrough gives me the opportunity to recreate this situation, to forcibly integrate two different people into a new entity!"

Upon hearing this, even Batman, who was used to always having a stern face, couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

Why did he set up this underground base to study superhumans? There was only one purpose: to deal with Superman. Everything he arranged was for this purpose.

Superman is incredibly powerful and has no weaknesses. He can easily tear planets apart with his strength, he can kill Reverse-Flash with his speed, and his reconnaissance range covers the entire Earth. Almost no one can confront him head-on.

Despite his extensive preparations, the Dark Batman didn't actually have high hopes of defeating Superman with superpowers. Superman's strength was arguably greater than the combined strength of everyone else.

However, if Dr. Stone's idea can be realized, then Batman will have the means to turn this combat power into his own.

Of course, this method has its drawbacks.

The fusion of the Speed ​​Force only combines the bodies into one; the minds remain two distinct entities. However, this can be overcome by adjusting the details of the fusion process or employing other methods, such as magic.

“Your idea is very good; it’s worth studying further,” Batman said.

“That’s the problem,” Dr. Stone said with a sigh. “It’s a very promising research direction, but in the short term, we can only extract a limited amount of Speed ​​Force from The Flash. It’s already a stretch just to support research on using the Speed ​​Force to break through spacetime, and we can’t afford an additional expense.”

"The situation with the fusion research is similar. It also consumes a lot of Speed ​​Force and requires the full support of the laboratory. In short, we can only afford one of the two types of research at most right now, and we also need to use the Speed ​​Force we have accumulated before."

"That means we can only study one of them for a long time until we have accumulated enough Speed ​​Force again. After one study is completed, it will take at least four months before we can start another study at full speed. The order of priority has a great impact. I don't know which decision is better. You know that alien better, so I'll leave it to you to decide."

After hearing this, Batman decisively said, "Let's study the fusion technology first."

There are two options: one is to find a way to banish Superman to another universe, and the other is to have a chance to seize his power.

Dr. Stone was very conflicted about this because his goal was influenced by Lex Luthor, which was to ensure that only humans existed on Earth. For him, the solution to dealing with aliens was the same, whether it was to expel or eliminate them, as long as there were no aliens on Earth.

But the Dark Batman is different. He has a strong desire for control, as you can tell from the situation in the underground base. He actually wants to spread the system in the underground base to the whole earth, but he can't be so high-profile right now.

If he could master superhuman powers, it would be of great help to his future actions.

"Understood, it's up to you." Dr. Stone had no objections; once the choice was made, it didn't matter to him which one to research.

The exchange was very brief, and Dr. Stone quickly returned to the laboratory, but the things he was going to study were no longer the same.

The experiment resumes, and all of this is observed by the Dark Batman.

He observed secretly for a long time and found that Dr. Stone's research was proceeding in an orderly and steady manner, with nothing suspicious about it.

"It seems that he did have a burst of inspiration and came up with two research routes... But that makes sense. It's normal to come up with different uses after a technological breakthrough. Besides, his inspiration came from the Flash's past experiences, so it's not surprising that he proposed the idea of ​​fusion."

Batman temporarily dispelled his doubts and resumed patrolling Gotham City, completely unaware that this change was Karl's premeditated scheme.

Dr. Stone and everyone in his lab had been infiltrated by Yu Duchen's mind. Their every move seemed normal, but in fact they were already acting according to Karl's will. The fusion technology was naturally Karl's decision as well.
