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

They will continue to study the void zone of the quantum realm here. With the Time Orb, Umbrella can fully expand its influence to other parallel universes.

Chapter 1004 Time Travel

Dane spent several days digesting the information in the time orb. After he had basically digested all of its contents, he loaded the time orb into the spaceship he had previously seized.

Kang's spaceship is controlled by a direct neural connection, so there are no keyboards, buttons, or finger pressure screens.

Dane got into the spaceship and allowed the spaceship to establish a neural connection with his brain. After Kang's death, the spaceship had become ownerless, so Dane established a new connection with the spaceship smoothly and soon became the new owner of the spaceship.

In the process of studying the Time Orb, he discovered that although the orb can automatically absorb free energy to replenish its own consumption, it can also be recharged through other special energies. The different charging methods determine the efficiency of charging, and active charging is naturally more efficient than passive charging.

The Pym particles just meet the energy requirements of the Time Orb. They can speed up the rate of replenishing the energy of the Orb. Compared with the passive charging mode, it is equivalent to the difference between an Android flash charger and an Apple charger.

This is a pleasant surprise. With the Pym particles as a backup, there is no need to worry about the Time Orb being squeezed out of money in the future.

Dane was sitting in the spaceship and had the idea of giving it a try. As soon as he thought about it, the spaceship responded immediately.

The spherical spaceship lowered its hatch and closed tightly, but the interior was not dark. What Dane saw was as if he was sitting in a completely invisible chair. Everything outside the cabin was clearly visible, as if he could reach out and touch it.

He thought about it and decided to turn back time a little to try out its function.

As soon as the thought came to mind, the scene around him immediately and rapidly rewound, just like a video being rewound.

Dane, like a ghost, passed through all matter. At this time, he was protected by a time barrier. Inside this barrier, he was not affected by the time flow outside the spacecraft and became an outsider isolated from the whole world.

After a while, the strange vision stopped, and Dane's vision was blocked by endless golden light.

He returned to the time when Kang the Conqueror was still alive, and he had just been ambushed by the Astartes and was trapped in a storm of possibilities.

Without opening the hatch, Dane sat inside the spaceship, allowing his mental power to flow through his body. The entire spaceship was equivalent to an upgraded version of his battle suit, and therefore also had the effect of strengthening his mental power, which made Dane's already powerful mental power even more exaggerated.

His mental vision spread out and instantly captured all of Kang's clones in the entire space. It seemed that they were engaged in a bloody battle.

At a certain moment, Dane's mind moved, and the telekinesis generated by his huge mental power also moved along with it. A total of tens of thousands of Kang's clones suddenly stopped, not only their movements, but even their thoughts stagnated.

Dane wanted to do an experiment. What would happen if he killed Kang right here? This was very simple for him. With just a thought, tens of thousands of Kang clones would be brain dead in an instant.

But just as he was about to do so, he received a warning in his mind, a warning from the future, or perhaps from the past.

Dane sank his consciousness into the sea of ​​mind, where he received a new memory.

After he killed Kang at the present point in time, the future timeline changed dramatically. First of all, the electronic squid would no longer appear, and the mechanical servants were continued to be controlled by the original artificial intelligence.

In the current timeline, Dane, led by an Astartes Centurion, will conquer the world and recover the Time Orb.

A head-on battle between Umbrella and Kang's army will not take place. The artificial intelligence left behind by Kang calculated that it could not defeat the enemy, so it hid in one of the mechanical servants and escaped, disappearing into the quantum void.

The time modified by the Time Orb is single-line, which means that after the modification, the new timeline will overwrite the original old timeline, but this is not without cost.

The old timeline will not quietly die out on its own. It will become a small piece of discarded time, abandoned by the current timeline and thrown to the end of time.

For the new world line, this is like an animal shedding its skin and being reborn, and the people in the new world won't even feel anything.

But for someone like Dane, who is essentially beyond time, this presents a problem.

Since there is also a Dane in the abandoned timeline, when time is forcibly divided, it is actually destroying his own integrity and uniqueness, which is equivalent to forcibly dividing him into two.

This is different from the parallel universe. This forced split is likely to split his origin into two, which is harmful rather than beneficial to him. Not only is his original body unwilling, but even the other half that was split out is unwilling to accept such a result.

So they used the possibility storm of the Time Orb and followed the veins of the long river of time to warn Dane, admonishing him not to do this.

In the storm of possibilities, nothing has happened yet, and nothing is set in stone. It is equivalent to Dane himself gaining an ability similar to future vision, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

But this also means that Dane cannot change the past of the current timeline, because the past is a foregone conclusion. Once he makes any changes to it, he will inevitably have to go through a process of mitosis.

The reasons why Conqueror Kang dared to modify the timeline unscrupulously are rather complicated. First of all, at the end of time there is a monster called Elios that specializes in eating time garbage. It is a pet raised by the people left behind.

The one who remains is one of Kang's variations.

As we all know, Kang the Conqueror and other Kang variants are mostly hostile to each other, so Dane has reason to suspect that the remaining people deliberately concealed the side effects of using the Time Orb, which is probably a trap set to weaken or even kill Kang the Conqueror.

As for all the timeline modifications the Conqueror has made in the past, the countless abandoned time streams that have been created are most likely the reason for the formation of Elrios.

In the "Loki" series, the one left behind claims that he successfully weaponized Elrios, enabling him to devour all of time and space. So, with all the time streams Kang the Conqueror discarded, how powerful would Elrios become?

The one left behind is weak and may be the weakest of all the variants in terms of fighting ability, but he has killed countless variants that are stronger than him, and Elrios has made great contributions to this.

The Time Orb might have been something he created specifically to make the ambitious Kang mutant destroy himself, while he could sit quietly at the end of time and reap the benefits.

If it is true as Dane guessed, then the person left behind is indeed a deep-minded and extremely cunning person, but his strategies are mostly aimed at the Kang mutants, and he obviously has not considered the possibility that the Time Orb will be obtained by others.

Because normally, the Time Orb is connected to the life of Conqueror Kang. Once Kang dies, the Time Orb will lose all its functions and self-destruct.

But before that, Dane transferred the ownership of the Time Orb, which ensured that the Orb still had its original function after Kang's death.

Regardless, the Time Orb itself is still a technological gem, and it plays a significant role in Dane's understanding of the Marvel Universe's time model and operating rules.

Chapter 1005: The Birth of Synthetic Cortana

With the warning from the future vision, Dane gave up killing Kang the Conqueror now, but he used his psychic energy to place a ban at the center of the Time Orb.

The effect is that whenever Kang attempts to approach it, a genuine fear will arise in his heart, which is to prevent him from gaining the full power of the Time Orb and ensuring that history will continue to progress as Dane knows it.

This move complies with the rules of time and can complete the time loop with established history, so Dane did not receive any more warnings.

He continued to travel upstream along the river of time. At some point, he suddenly became aware of a gaze that passed through the mist of time and seemed to be falling on Dane.

Dane looked back, and his vast spiritual power formed a pair of giant eyes, which had copied 70% of the original's charm. These eyes hung high above the long river of time and looked down, just meeting the prying eyes.

After a brief contact, the gaze chose to retreat and immediately retracted.

Dane also took back the Eyes of Heaven. He opened his eyes in the spaceship with a strange expression.

If he guessed correctly, the owner of that gaze just now should be the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One. She had used this method to peek into the long river of fate and wanted to check Dane's fate.

But she is not the only one who wants to do this. When Dane is sailing in the river of time on a time ship, many beings beyond time also cast their eyes on him.

Some even tried to infect him. This kind of existence was undoubtedly a demon from another dimension.

Some were very polite, their gazes only briefly glancing away. If it weren't for Dane's keen senses, he would have almost missed it.

Among them, Dane also saw a big-headed doll. If he guessed correctly, this was a member of the Observer clan hiding in the cracks of the multiverse. It really had a strange appearance.

Due to the future warning events, Dane has restrained himself a lot in using the Time Orb. It is obviously impossible for him to modify the timeline on a large scale like Kang did. Although it has not been proven, the backlash of time probably exists. All Kang variants are probably deeply trapped in it, including the most thoughtful survivors.

So Dane is now outside the river of time, just watching, but no longer trying to intervene.

However, the mystery of time cannot be fully explained in a few words. It is just that the established past cannot be modified. If the operation is only performed on the present or future time points, the time orb can still play its role.

For example, what Kang once did was to use a time barrier to cover the entire world, and adjust the flow of time inside and outside to create an asymmetric time difference. This operation does not affect the past, so it will not cause time backlash.

This is good news for Dane, as it means he has mastered the fast-forward button and can artificially create a technological explosion in a short period of time.

After touring the long river of time, he immediately returned to the time point when he left. He immediately used the power of the time orb to cover the entire industrial world and adjusted the flow of time.

At this time, the quantum shuttle has also been placed in this world. The industrial world established by Kang is now officially occupied by Umbrella and becomes their main world based in the quantum field.

For this reason, Dane specifically gave this world a name, Utopia, to commemorate his first impression of the quantum field and some expectations for the future.

In order to speed up the manufacturing of Cortana's body, he ordered Umbrella to transfer the etching work of adamantium alloy to Utopia, and also transferred the design and manufacturing work of the quantum brain here.

Three years later, the etching work was initially completed in Utopia, and the quantum brain completed the final design.

In the fifth year, the fine-tuning work was gradually completed, and the adamantium alloy, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, began to enter the finishing work and the final shaping process. This project will be presided over and completed by Dane himself.

In the sixth year, an adamantium skeleton with electronic network functions was cooled and formed. Compared with the original draft, Dane also used neural integration technology from future technology to further enhance the electronic properties of this skeleton.

In the seventh year, the adamantium skeleton was sent to the culture chamber for the process of generating synthetic human tissues and organs. Dane implanted modified Eternal cells into it, which included the paternal gene template he had provided himself.

At the same time, the cultivation of the quantum brain was also carried out simultaneously. Due to the strong properties of adamantium alloy, the cultivation of the quantum brain could only be carried out in an already formed skull.

Moreover, in order to achieve a perfect fit between the quantum brain and the synthetic body, the relevant tissue cell connections such as nerve plexuses, neurons, and grids need to be established from the beginning. Therefore, the quantum brain will develop synchronously with the synthetic body.

In the tenth year, the synthetic body was basically formed in the cradle. In the same year, Cortana's mother program was translated from digital signals into biological signals through a translation instrument and sent to the quantum brain to activate consciousness.

In the eleventh year, the synthetic Cortana was born.

Cortana's appearance in the physical form is just like in the DC world, beautiful and perfect, with no flaws on her body.

When she walked out of the incubator, the technicians present almost thought they saw the incarnation of perfection, as if Aphrodite was walking out of the waves.

Fortunately, before she left the warehouse, Dane specially made a long dress for her that covered her body, so that her body was not exposed to the public.

"How does it feel?"

Cortana raised one hand. Her skin was delicate, her fingers were as white as scallions, and her wrist was slender, with the blood vessels faintly visible. This hand looked so fragile that it seemed as if it would break with a slight bend.

No one could have imagined that this slender hand could tear a human body apart so easily.

"This feeling... is very different..."

Cortana spoke awkwardly using her artificial vocal cords. Her voice still used the original voice template from the digital era, but with a more realistic feel.

As an artificial intelligence, she saw the world from the perspective of life for the first time, so countless thoughts formed and dissipated in her mind.

This made her feel a little overwhelmed. As an AI, she shouldn't think about things that are not related to work.

Dane stood beside her, seemingly doing nothing, but in fact his mind was always connected to the new synth's consciousness.

Cortana was originally just a program. Before this, Dane couldn't connect with her or even control her through telepathy, but now he can.

Cortana has some of Dane's genes in her body, which will give them magical telepathy like some twins. They can use the heart lake to connect with each other no matter how far apart they are without any tangible or intangible medium.

So at this moment he was watching the ripples in Cortana's new heart. Cortana didn't know that these were actually the distracting thoughts that intelligent life often had.

After having a physical body, Cortana's mind will inevitably be affected by the physical shell, producing countless distracting thoughts of birth and death. This is a normal phenomenon.

"Don't worry, this is normal. With simple learning, it is not difficult to calm down distracting thoughts."

Chapter 1006 Freedom

Cortana's current condition is like that of a newborn baby. Although she has a lot of knowledge in her mind, some of it cannot be matched one-to-one with the real world.

For example, the concepts of cold and hot are closely related to physical sensations, which Cortana actually couldn't understand in the past.

With such a pure mind, even if some distracting thoughts arise, they are mostly just instinctive and not many.

Dane's spiritual energy swept away her few distracting thoughts, and she regained her innocent state.

"Cortana, try connecting to the network."

Upon hearing this, Cortana's consciousness instinctively followed the command and became active. Powerful brain waves penetrated her body and radiated as electromagnetic waves, instantly capturing other electromagnetic wave signals in the surrounding space.

"Connected."

After her consciousness re-entered the network, it was the world that Cortana was most familiar with. The slight uneasiness she had caused by her real body was instantly swept away, as if she had found her comfort zone again.

Before completely adapting to the real world, Cortana can use this method to adjust the gap between the two different dimensional worlds, which will help her smoothly transition through the discomfort period.

"You stay here and oversee the development progress of the Quantum Void."

The capabilities of Cortana's body are enough to replace Dane's role, which finally gives him more free time to return to the real world.

The quantum field is certainly important, but the real world is the foundation and is equally important.

After arranging all the work, Dane returned to reality on a spaceship. This spaceship can travel back and forth between the two worlds without the need for Pym particles, which is much more convenient than a quantum shuttle.

He appeared directly in Umbrella's space station and was seen by Janet.

The first-generation Wasp was shocked immediately, thinking that it was Conqueror Kang coming to kill her from the quantum world.

However, when the hatch opened, it was Dane's face that appeared, which shocked Janet even more.

"You...why is it you? Where's Kang?"

"Now that I'm here, I think you should be able to guess what happened to Kang."

Janet immediately fell into a trance. She knelt in the small flask designed for her by Dane, mumbling something to herself.

Dane had no interest in listening. He stood up from the spaceship, the seat behind him retreated, and a standing platform rose up.

He stood on the platform with his hands outstretched, like the shape of a cross.

At the same time, several golden rings of varying sizes rose around the spacecraft and circled around Dane.

Dane's outer clothes were removed, leaving only a set of tight lining inside. It was an integrated close-fitting inner armor containing vibranium, which adhered closely to the skin and was connected to the nerves.

The ring hovered around Dane, and suddenly some substance sprayed out of nothing on him, a bit like 3D printing, and a brand new battle suit formed on Dane.

The style is the same one designed by Dane himself, but the internal technology has been upgraded. The function of amplifying mental power has been retained by Dane. In addition, a special device for absorbing cosmic energy has been set up, which can greatly improve his efficiency in absorbing cosmic energy.

After staying in the quantum realm for eleven years, his body has already completed a wave of updates. Now he can be considered a hybrid of Earthlings and Eternals, and his racial potential has been enhanced.
