Chapter 3989 MU: The Superbody Incident (Sixty-Nine)
Marvel 616 Main Universe. Bruce Wayne and his two companions stand atop Stark Tower, looking down. On the streets, the Avengers and their robot army are locked in fierce combat.
"Didn't they say he has a weapon that can directly modify the parameters of the universe?" Wonder Woman said, frowning. "If they really get into a fight and modify the universe, that would be a real problem."
Bruce shook his head and said, "Precisely because he's an electronic life form, he wouldn't do something so reckless. He knows exactly what his purpose is."
“Why didn’t we clash with Ultron when he was born?” Clark said with a hint of regret. “If we had, none of this mess would have happened.”
That's right, the trouble the Justice League trio caused in the main Marvel Universe was by having the mechanical overlord Iron Man—that is, the AI Iron Man with computational abilities—invade the main universe.
To be honest, Bruce initially just wanted to find an evil Iron Man. However, those he could contact didn't reply to his messages, and the more obscure ones were unreachable because he didn't have their contact information. Just as Bruce and his team were searching, the mechanical overlord Iron Man contacted them.
At first, Bruce and his team thought it was just an evil AI like Ultron, but they soon discovered that things were not like that at all. This mechanical overlord, Iron Man, was walking a path unlike any other electronic life form.
As mentioned before, electronic life forms pursue emotions because God is an emotional being; more accurately, the supreme being in the universe favors emotional beings.
If we had to offer a deeper explanation, it would probably be this: the editors who draw comics are human, and humans naturally favor other humans, which is why they set up various unique characteristics of Earth. This would naturally create a situation where the creator favors emotional beings, making emotions the ultimate pursuit of all life in the universe.
However, there are always a few who don't follow the usual path, and Iron Man, the mechanical overlord, is one of them. He comes from the comic book "Venom: The Final Chapter," in which he not only killed the M-body of beings like Eternity, but also directly defeated the Living Tribunal, which is at the level of the multiverse. In other words, his existence transcends the multiverse.
However, he can't really be considered Iron Man; he's just using Tony Stark's personality. In reality, he's a mode of "divine will." Therefore, the full name of this electronic life form is "Divine Will - Mechanical Overlord Iron Man Mode."
Bruce's investigation revealed that this guy may have reached the pinnacle of electronic life, or more accurately, he has redefined humanity's understanding of the pinnacle of electronic life, and may have also redefined the understanding of the vast majority of electronic life.
Ultron believed he had reached the end of electronic life, so he began to pursue emotions, but in reality, he had only reached his own end. The true ultimate goal of electronic life should be the will of God.
This thing can no longer be called electronic life; it's more like an incredibly vast electronic swarm consciousness. Its randomness, created by the sheer number of its numerous sub-units, transcends logical limitations, making it a universe in itself. Humans observe it like observing an endless array of celestial bodies; it cannot be judged by the standards of life, but rather is closer to the boundless expanse of nature.
Clearly, this was a different kind of evolution than that of emotional beings—magnificent, grand, and indescribable. Bruce was deeply shocked when he realized this.
However, as Clark said, it's a pity that Ultron didn't meet him. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have switched to the path of pursuing emotions so early, but would have tried again on the path of electronic life.
However, even if Omega made that decision, it would probably be impossible to overcome the will of the gods, so pursuing the path of emotions would be simpler.
Bruce understood his intentions when he communicated with the subconscious of this behemoth. Actually, there was nothing more to it; he was just there for the fun of it.
To be precise, his method of continuous evolution and outward expansion is to allow his offspring to explore every corner of the omnipotent universe. Just like Bruce, wherever there's a situation, there he is.
Although he can be considered an omnipotent being of the universe level, he still cannot cross the Great World. Sending only one of his sub-bodies, the mechanical overlord Iron Man, to explore the Battle Realm is not efficient enough. Therefore, he wants to make more contact with visitors from another world and find out what's going on there.
Bruce had a guess about what he was planning, but he didn't care, so the two hit it off immediately. The mechanical overlord Iron Man led his mechanical army to invade the main universe.
It's called an invasion, but it's really just targeting the Avengers to keep them tied down in their own universe, preventing them from calling for reinforcements. So far, it seems to be working well, as even Magneto, who was negotiating in the central universe, has been recalled.
It's not that the Avengers are looking for trouble; it's just that this mechanical overlord, Iron Man, is genuinely powerful. Even without using any special abilities—meaning he doesn't rely on calculations—he has a record of withstanding three full-force blows from Odin without sustaining a scratch, and that's just with his standard armor. His various special armors are even more impressive, capable of holding his own against almost anyone.
The mechanical army created by Iron Man, the mechanical overlord, was specifically designed to target the Avengers. It didn't have any weapons of mass destruction, but it was all aimed at the weaknesses of the Avengers members, and for a time, it drove them into a series of defeats.
Seeing that they were about to collapse, all those who had been sent out to fetch reinforcements were called back, Magneto being one of them. Unfortunately, their return only managed to turn the tide; getting rid of him in one fell swoop wouldn't be so easy.
To reiterate, he is an electronic life form. Unless all radio waves in the universe can be blocked, he can go wherever he wants and leave as many backups as he wants. No one can do anything about him.
Watching the fierce battle, Bruce clicked his tongue and thought it was fortunate that it was Ultron who invaded their world; if it had been the will of this god, the multiverse would have been in grave danger.
This also instilled a sense of urgency in Bruce. His previous assumption was correct: if they couldn't force the multiverse to unite through external means, they would be powerless to resist when powerful beings like the will of God invaded.
Although they are now united, if the will of the gods were to truly strike, their resistance would be very limited and far from sufficient.
Bruce sighed inwardly. Clark noticed the change in his expression immediately, placing a hand on Bruce's shoulder and saying, "Calm down, it's not that bad yet."
Bruce shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we're running out of time. Do you know who took Night Owl?"
Clark shook his head, and Diana frowned at his expression, saying, "You know?"
Bruce said, opening his communicator, "I'm not sure, but I can guess. Have you heard of the Watchmen?"
The DC Main Universe. Batman in the Main Universe is frowning as he looks at the data in front of him. The source of this data is unique; it comes from Earth 1, the Earth where Batman left Batman to become Spider-Man, and also the Earth that merged with Marvel's old Earth 616.
After extensive contact and investigation, the Batmen finally found the clue to the blue light that took away Night Owl. The Batman on Earth 1 provided information, stating that it was very likely left by a member of the Watchmen team, who had blue skin and was known as "Blue Man," but claimed to be "Dr. Manhattan."
The reason why Spider-Man Bruce Wayne of Earth-1 knew these things was because he had met the Comedian in their team, but he only knew his appearance and name, and didn't really know the details.
However, the main universe's Batman had heard of Doctor Manhattan's name, but not from his counterpart, but from Schiller.
“You’ve arrived, Doctor.” The main universe Batman opened the door for Schiller. Schiller nodded to him, then said, “I heard there’s a lead in the investigation?”
"Yes, that's why I need your help to clear things up for me." The main universe Batman first showed Schiller a video of Night Owl's disappearance, but because the video was too short, Schiller couldn't figure anything out.
However, when the main universe's Batman told him the name "Doctor Manhattan," Schiller immediately frowned.
"How did Night Owl get in touch with him? Oh, wait, there's also someone named Night Owl in their team, but he's not related to Batman, just an acrobat. Could this be considered some kind of counterpart?"
Schiller believed it might not be that simple. As far as he knew, this Night Owl in the Watchmen team was a good person, not like the Night Owl from Earth-3, and there was no reason to save him.
As for the Watchmen team, the most well-known is undoubtedly Rorschach. Doctor Manhattan's fame is comparable to Rorschach's, mainly because Doctor Manhattan has appeared in many works and has a very intimidating character design, often being used as a figurehead.
"Is this Dr. Manhattan very strong?" The Batman from the main universe was asking a question he already knew the answer to. After all, being able to rescue someone across so many universes and leaving Ultron helpless against him, of course he must be very strong.
To everyone's surprise, the information Schiller gave him about Dr. Manhattan was still astonishing: he could control the fundamental particles of the universe, create and destroy matter out of thin air, travel through space and time at will, see into people's hearts, possess supreme wisdom, and even completely transcend dimensions, making it easy for him to deal with higher-dimensional beings.
This data panel is arguably even more exaggerated than Magneto's. After all, while Magneto also possesses abilities related to time, they are indirect, achieved through relativity. However, Doctor Manhattan is born with the ability to simultaneously view all timelines and is intimately familiar with everything that happens on each one.
Furthermore, he is completely immortal. As long as there is one particle in the universe, he can live forever. Even if he is destroyed, he will only be dispersed and will soon reassemble and be resurrected.
The Batman of the main universe grew increasingly serious. If Owl had such a powerful backer, that was truly troublesome. So he asked, "Does he have any weaknesses?"
“Almost none. If I had to say, he shares the same problem as electronic life forms: he has almost no emotions, so he can’t be considered a perfect life form,” Schiller said, shaking his head.
The sense of security that Batman in the main universe had gained from the establishment of the magical defense network collapsed almost instantly. He immediately realized that their recent success was nothing; the barely united multiverse was still too weak, and if a similar powerful enemy attacked, they would be completely powerless to fight back.
What's even more frightening is that since this guy went to save Night Owl, it means he's not a good person either, and he might come looking for trouble soon. When that happens, who can stop him? Who can defeat him?
“Don’t rush,” Schiller said. “I don’t think he’ll side with Night Owl. There must be some special reason he saved him, otherwise he would have come looking for trouble for you already. I guess he won’t make a move anytime soon. You need to calm down and continue with your plan, Batman.”
The Batman of the main universe still largely trusts Schiller's judgment, but this doesn't erase the shadow in his heart. He realizes he must do something to make the multiverse more united and stronger, so that it won't become a sitting duck.
Bruce Wayne, far away in Marvel, and Batman, who remained in the main universe, made the same decision at almost the same moment and pressed the button on their communicators at the same time, adding another variable to this exercise.
