American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

The person who was shouting and shouting angrily before was now silent, and no one knew who he had hidden behind.

The leader managed to calm himself down and realized that the other party was coming towards him.

These steel giants all wore identical power armor, making it difficult to distinguish one from another. The entire island was enveloped in energy that blocked psychic abilities, making it impossible to distinguish them through telepathy.

Five giants walked on the slightly vibrating ground and came to the leader. They looked him up and down before a slightly distorted mechanical sound was heard.

"Boss wants to see you, come with us."

The leader breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his prediction was correct.

As early as when Dane was still temporarily staying in the Chamber of Commerce, he tried his best to show goodwill in front of the other party and almost responded to all of their requests.

Of course, compared to what he had guessed, Dane's request was actually not excessive.

At least he doesn't have as big an appetite as Kang. When he became powerful, he directly asked for an entire world, and that world had the best industrial base and the richest resources in the Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, how could Kang develop so fast?

After the leader agreed, he followed the Astartes away, leaving the others in silence, watching him leave.

When the leader saw Dane again, it was still the same old location, but the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce had now become the headquarters of Umbrella, and the logo of the Chamber of Commerce had also been changed to the red and white umbrella logo.

When he walked into the familiar building, the surrounding steel giant guards, who were over two meters tall, were intimidating.

When I walked to the center of the building, the scene I saw was very different from the past. It turned out that Umbrella had transformed this place. A huge quantum computer data processor stood in the center like a beam of light, connecting the ceiling above and the ground below.

Beneath the beam of light stood a man in white. He turned around and saw Dane, who had already taken off his mask.

Chapter 993 Doubt

The leader was respectful and, imitating Astarte's previous address, stepped forward and called out "Boss" to express his feelings.

Seeing that he was so sensible, Dane did not make things difficult for him. Just as the other party thought, although the number of Astartes entering the quantum field this time was large, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the vast quantum field.

Therefore, cooperation with local residents becomes inevitable.

However, cooperation also has prerequisites, and it depends on who is the main person.

Unlike Kang, Dane wants to conquer this place, but he doesn't want to enslave the people here. That is meaningless to him. What he values are the special resources of the quantum world.

Kang is different. Although he possesses technology that is beyond the current era, his thinking seems a bit old-fashioned, and he is a person who is keen on forcing intelligent life to be enslaved.

Perhaps this is also a common problem of the human race. Our nature contains both a yearning for freedom and a greed to control the life and death of other lives. Kang was particularly deeply poisoned by the latter.

Kang is obsessed with the pleasure of controlling the life, death, and freedom of others, and often ignores the will of others. Therefore, even though his power can suppress everyone in the quantum field, even if the quantum residents are not good at fighting by nature, they will still rise up to resist.

The Chamber of Commerce was extremely afraid of him, but they would still do something secretly where the other party couldn't see.

Dane learned his lesson and had a different attitude towards the quantum realm. He said to the leader of the Chamber of Commerce:

"You don't have to worry. Unlike Kang, I don't have any desire to enslave you."

The leader had lost his ability to shield his mind, and the brain waves he emitted were easily received by Dane, who took the other party's concerns to heart.

"I come from a world called Earth, where the physical rules of the microscopic world are completely different from those of the macroscopic world. Although the two exist in the same world, they are like a thick, insurmountable barrier separating them."

"Our scientists have tried everything but have yet to break through this barrier, but I see hope in you."

Don’t underestimate Hank Pym, who is known as an expert in the subatomic field. He has discovered magical things like Pym particles and created magical equipment like Ant-Man and Wasp suits.

However, his research in the microscopic field has only just begun in the face of truth, and is still very far from the ultimate dream of mankind, the "grand unified" theory.

When studying this in the real world, the barrier between the micro and macro is too solid, and studying it is like looking at flowers in the fog or catching the moon in the water.

However, in the quantum field, there seems to be no distinction between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds, and perhaps we can learn from others' experience to improve ourselves.

When Dane saw the confused expression on the leader's face, he knew that he didn't quite understand the troubles of the real world, so he didn't expand on the topic.

He simply said, "In short, Umbrella will not occupy the important worlds that your Merchant Alliance has been operating for many years. However, we need the specialties of each world here. Aren't you businessmen? We can trade."

Speaking of "deal", the leader seemed to turn on a switch instantly, and began to think involuntarily.

He asked tentatively: "Since it's a transaction, then those signal towers..."

Before being imprisoned on the floating island, they knew that Umbrella was controlling the signal towers in various worlds. This was the foundation of the Chamber of Commerce. If they could get it back, they would certainly want to get it back.

Dane glanced at him.

Did the other party misunderstand something?

Although the relationship between the two parties can be turned into a transaction, he did not say that the transaction was fair.

In a transaction, who is the leader and who is the follower, and who occupies a stronger position, directly determines the benefits to be gained. How could Dane give it up?

How dare you ask Boss Dai to vomit out what he ate? You think I'm kinder and easier to bully than Kang, right?

Then I will show you that my sword is not so bad either.

Although Dane remained expressionless, the leader keenly sensed that the other party seemed somewhat unhappy, and a sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.

He immediately broke out in a sweat, and suddenly an idea struck him, blurting out, "Of course, this is a joke. The Merchant Alliance is willing to become a vassal of Umbrella and serve you and your warriors without expecting anything in return!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader felt that the danger of death had dissipated. He forced himself to resist the urge to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and waited respectfully for the other party's answer.

It was a close call. I had just forgotten that the other party was a ruthless person who would "close the country to the outside world" even if it meant killing De Kang. He was definitely not as easy to talk to as he seemed.

Dane put away the dangerous thoughts in his mind. He could understand the other party's desire to escape from the cage, but at the same time he also hoped that the other party could recognize his own situation and not bring up unrealistic fantasies.

Now it seems that the other party is indeed a smart person and has lived up to his expectations.

"Now that we have reached an agreement, you can resume your work from now on."

Is this a consensus?

The leader thought about it and had to admit that he couldn't object anyway.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard his new boss suddenly speak.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

The leader could only stop and listen.

"The people from the Merchant Alliance have been looking for news about Kang for quite some time, but they still haven't found anything. You're familiar with this business, so go and see what's going on."

The fact that the giants of the Chamber of Commerce were under house arrest did not prevent their subordinates from continuing to search for Kang's whereabouts. According to their original estimate, a few days should be enough.

Nowadays, unlike in ancient times, the Chamber of Commerce’s means of searching for extraterrestrial plankton are much more sophisticated. Work that previously required a great deal of time and manpower can now be completed very quickly.

Although this matter still depends on a bit of luck, it should not take that long. After all, those plankton often travel between the two worlds and will never wander outside the world forever.

.....0 .......

So if nothing unexpected happens, there should be an accident.

Dane suddenly asked, "Does Kang know about your search method?"

"Probably... I don't know, right?" The leader hesitated.

This hesitation seemed to lack confidence, so Dane asked again, "There should be members of the Merchant Alliance in Kang's world, right?"

The leader nodded. Of course, but...

"Kang killed many people in that world in order to force them to reveal Janet's whereabouts. I'm not sure if there are any survivors there."

After all, Kang doesn't actually need living people. It is not ruled out that he will turn that place into a completely pure industrial world, which is also in line with the other party's current situation.

If there are still living people there, and even if those people are hostile to Kang, they are likely to find a way to contact the outside world and expose the location of the world.

But there is another possibility, that Kang captured all the survivors and forced them to reveal some information.

"If Kang knew you were looking for extraterrestrial plankton, there's no way he wouldn't have been prepared for it."

Dane's expression remained unchanged, not surprised by this.

Conqueror Kang, when he should hide, he really hides.

His only worry now was that although Astartes claimed that Kang had fallen into the Time Orb, how could he know whether it was a blessing or a curse for the other party?

If things go wrong, it might be him.

Kang's own strength is not worth mentioning, but he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, so he won't necessarily die.

Chapter 994 Kang's Plan

At this time, the industrial world where Kang is located is now very different from before.

The originally colorful sky was covered by thick dark clouds. Thunder and lightning were like snakes, constantly moving in the clouds, emitting dazzling lightning from time to time.

Beneath the clouds, countless factories and steel chimneys stand like a steel jungle. If you look closely, you can see the waste smoke rising from the steel furnaces merging with the dark clouds in the sky, as if fueling their momentum.

Countless small fighter planes shuttled between the densely packed high-rise buildings. In the large foundries, many shipyards were busy manufacturing warships.

Whenever a warship is completed, it is immediately inspected and debugged as quickly as possible and then put into service directly.

However, compared to warships, there are a large number of mechanical servants, born from manufacturing factories in scattered branches one after another, and then automatically go to the positions where they are needed.

The entire industrial world is filled with heavy industrial-style buildings and steel structures. The only moving objects are mechanical servants without any signs of life. This is a cold and cruel world.

At the very center of this world, there is a black building shaped like a pyramid. Its surface is as smooth as obsidian. It stands tall, and the top of the tower almost reaches the clouds.

It is like a huge giant, sitting on its throne and overlooking the whole world.

Inside the black pyramid, there is a huge golden sphere with brilliant light flowing on it. Various regular and irregular geometric components perform Brownian motion on the golden wall on its surface, like planets orbiting the star in the center.

The golden sphere is surrounded by countless large mechanical components, and is connected to it by dense cables and energy lines. Together with the golden sphere, they form a strange shape, just like... a human brain.

The same mechanical servants were walking around, their shapes and styles were no different from those outside, but in terms of their movement patterns, they looked more like humans, thinking humans.

"it's time."

A voice was heard in the hall.

If the people of Astartes were still here, they should be able to hear that the voice was made by Kang the Conqueror.

Of course he was not dead. The Time Orb was the equipment he was most familiar with and valued the most.

But what no one expected was that he gained unexpected abilities in the Time Orb.

The busy mechanical servants suddenly stopped, the light in their eyes changed from blue to red, and one of them raised his arm, his eyes seemed to scan his own mechanical arm.

"This body cannot defeat our enemies. I need a stronger weapon."

Kang's consciousness now resides in the body of this mechanical servant.

He created an operating interface in the air, erased the original mechanical servant design drawings, and began drawing on the new blank interface. Not long after, a completely different mechanical creation appeared.

It is a robot shaped like a squid and an insect. It has thirteen visual sensors that act like compound eyes and can sense heat, visible light, infrared and ultraviolet rays, as well as other visions that the human eye cannot perceive.

It has six pairs of tentacles that can bend freely, and its degree of freedom is no less than that of a real squid, allowing it to adapt to any complex terrain and combat situation.

Each of the six pairs of tentacles has a different function. Some are equipped with laser weapons, some are good at breaking through obstacles, some are good at detection, and some can weld...

Kang equipped this mechanical squid with many practical gadgets on these twelve hands.

Of course, in order to further enrich the combat methods of this mechanical weapon, he equipped it with an electromagnetic coil vector anti-magnetic accelerator, allowing this multi-ton machine to fly lightly and flexibly in the air, allowing for more tactical combinations.

Because the Astartes withdrew in time, Kang still did not get their power armor, which made it impossible for him to study the material composition of their armor and had no way to decipher the microscopic structure of this material.

As long as there is no way to break this shell, even if he creates more mechanical servants, he will not be able to do anything to those steel giants, not to mention Kang now, whose body cannot leave the Time Orb and can only move in the outside world through mechanical servants.

After falling into the time sphere that day, Kang was indeed caught in a feasibility storm as the centurion had expected. He had many distracting thoughts and gave rise to countless clones from the very beginning.

Each of the clones is a hero who is unwilling to be inferior to others, so it is natural that they are caught in a war between Kang and Kang.

As soon as the battle began, countless Kangs died in the chaos.

Of course, the only person who knows him best is Kang himself, so Kang is the one who knows best how to kill him.

In the storm of possibilities, time became a vague concept. Kang didn't know how long he had been trapped in it. He only knew that he had been killing and never stopped.

Each Kang believes he is the only one, so the only way to prove this is to kill them all. The one who remains will be the sole conqueror.

However, after many years, the last Kang standing in the pile of corpses looked at the new clone that appeared again, and suddenly a question came to his mind.

Is the him who is killing now the same one who first entered the Time Orb?

If not, then "he" would have died long ago. If so, how can we prove it after so many years?

He began to realize that they could not distinguish the real from the fake by killing each other, because no matter how many of them died, there would always be new Kangs appearing, and they would never be able to kill them all.

So Kang had an idea, what if he didn't try to distinguish it?

This is a feasibility storm. Everyone is actually a future branch at the current point in time. Everyone is him and can be him.

After realizing this, the future clone suddenly dissipated, the feasibility storm disappeared, and Kang accepted that his future self was himself. So, no matter now or in the future, he was the only one left.
