Chapter 673: There is a new spirit in the universe (2)
Back to about a few hours ago, Schiller and others were still in the Holy of Holies, studying matters related to Stark's promotion.
"I feel that even with thorough preparations, the possibility of an accident cannot be ruled out. We'd better think of the worst outcome first," Strange said.
"The worst result? It's just a failure to upgrade, right?" Natasha raised her finger and said.
Strange shook his head and said with emphasis: "The worst result is that the promotion is successful, and it is successful forever. Tony becomes the devil, which means that mankind will lose him forever.
"I don't understand, is it destined that only one can exist in human and demon form?" Connors asked, pushing up his glasses.
Strange sighed, then nodded and said, "Human is a social creature. Because he has various needs, he needs to rely on others and develop feelings for others, which is why this society is built."
"However, demon gods can infinitely utilize the energy of the origin of the universe. They are perfect creatures in a sense and are no longer limited by physical energy, which means that they no longer need society."
"At the same time, changes in the structure of life will make them more dependent on energy rather than matter, which will lead to changes in the way of thinking. Very few demons can maintain the vitality when they were born. Every demon and his dimension,
In the end, they all lead to eternal laziness.”
"For example, you may have heard me mention the group of stars on the edge of the eternal kingdom. They have a normal society, can communicate, and help each other. Maybe you will think that this is a perfect life form, but in fact
On the planet, the number of protoss is getting smaller and smaller, they are beginning to become less and less concerned about their companions, and their living areas are becoming more and more scattered."
"In the end, they will become like the Lord of the Crimson Dimension, not caring about everything. Only the pursuit of power can make them a little interested. In the end, they will not even care about power and energy.
As the energy is exhausted, it will die."
"This is the fate of the universe demon. Although this process will be very long, a dimension demon as powerful as the Lord of the Crimson Dimension may not perish until the universe dies, but everything has an end, and this universe is fair.
"
When Strange said these things, he seemed a little sad. He said: "This is the case with occult science. When something is born, its fate is already determined. No matter what its fate is, the ending will be certain.
There is no escape from destruction and death.”
"In other words, once Tony is successfully promoted, he will no longer be a member of the human race, right?" Connors asked.
"Perhaps at the beginning, he could still maintain a human mentality, but as his emotions were gradually weakened, he became more and more indifferent."
"The earth does not allow these demon gods to stay. Because of this, as they gradually evolve and become more and more powerful, they will also become more and more indifferent. They no longer care about any life, and they will not feel that anyone is related to them.
It is a community of destiny, and in the end, all he can bring is destruction." Strange replied.
"No, I will never accept this happening." Stark said firmly: "Even if I give up all my power, I must maintain my identity as a human being. I am proud of my own race."
Every time this question is raised, Stark's answer is always extremely firm. Even though the devil may have an almost unlimited lifespan, Stark is still proud of short-lived species like humans.
Schiller thought for a moment and then said: "Since you have successfully given up once before, can you give up voluntarily this time?"
"Maybe, but there is still a certain risk." Strange said: "In the research of Kama Taj, the part about the origin of the devil has not been concluded..."
"Nothing is without risk." Stark interrupted: "Although I have always been tired of the excessive use of uncontrolled power, it does not mean that we should stop eating because of choking and not try anything.
There will be no progress that way.”
"I'm just reminding you of the possible risks. As for what to do, it still depends on your own wishes."
"I want to go up and have a look." Stark made up his mind and said, "At least focus on the part about Peter. If the trouble really comes from outside the universe, it will put him in great danger."
Stark frowned, and everyone could see his worry.
Strange patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you decide to do this, we'd better go to Kama Taj. If an accident occurs, the archmages can handle it in time."
"Doesn't Kama Taj allow people other than mages to enter?" Schiller asked.
"When did that happen?" Strange said in surprise, and then he said: "Now, Kama Taj is a large-scale comprehensive magic research center that integrates research, exchange, and learning.
, here are not only the magicians of Kama Taj, but also strange people from all over the country who have mastered the power of mysticism..."
"Everyone will exchange and learn here to upgrade magical power and technology to a higher level. We use the power we have obtained previously as a reward to encourage all mystical scholars to complete the earth's occult history and learn from ancient classics.
Discover new technologies and infer future trends from existing technological levels..."
In the sound of his words, several people stepped into the portal, and what appeared in front of them was no longer the antique Kama Taj Hall.
All the brazier columns were removed, leaving only the wooden building structure and the curtains hanging on the walls. Tables were placed in the rest of the place, with many light balls placed on them.
After Strange reached out and took one, he said: "The latest research results are stored here. If anyone can improve the technology on this basis, then he can get the power in this crystal ball..."
Schiller saw mages in groups of three or three discussing around different crystal balls.
Among them, some were wearing suits, some were wearing ancient costumes, some were holding guns, some were wearing swords, some were carrying huge pets, and there were even some with tentacles on their backs. When Strange saw the looks in their eyes, he
Explained: "Don't worry, everyone who can enter here has passed the test of the earth's magic defense network. The demon gods they contracted with are all our members, and no one will mess around."
After passing through the lobby, there are palaces one after another, which seem to have been transformed into dormitories. The square surrounded by buildings on three sides is very lively at this time. In addition to the people competing on the field, there are also people behind them.
There is a ghostly figure of the devil eating melon seeds and watching a show.
Mephisto said while sipping: "Look at my agent. His beautiful skull is hard to find in hell. There is also a motorcycle. Oh, I think the motorcycle is a failure. I still prefer it."
That horse from my ex..."
Modu still stood aside with a cold face. He raised his staff and said: "Everyone, stand back. The third round is about to begin. We are not responsible for accidental injuries..."
"I repeat again, the energy that players on both sides can use is fixed, and so is the demon behind it. Anyone who dares to operate in violation of regulations will be responsible for the consequences..." Modu followed the script with an expressionless face.
"Wait a minute! That one over there! You're projecting too much power. As for you, it's you, that demon..."
After Modu gave an order, the Archmage found the demon god's body along the phantom, and chopped it into pieces in three or two strokes. Mephisto gloated at the side and said: "I made you disobey the rules and turned into melon seeds."
Come on, give me some more..."
"Is this really okay?" Stark looked at the chaotic scene and said, "Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
"That's your illusion." Strange pushed Stark inside, then passed through the palace and square, and came to a building with a circular roof, which seemed to be a research center.
In the center of the entire circular ceiling, there was a huge energy source, emitting a soft light. Many mages were busy around the light ball. Strange turned around and introduced to Stark: "This is what we are currently doing.
Most of the accumulated energy is used to improve the strength of the earth's defense network, and a small part is used for research."
"Observing your promotion process is a very valuable experience for Karma Taj. Therefore, we can reimburse the magic energy that needs to be consumed. Of course, if someone is selfless..."
"Reimbursement? How to reimburse?" Schiller's eyes lit up, Strange rolled his eyes and said: "Don't think about it, we reimburse the expenses in real terms, there is no room for maneuver, take your calculations back..."
Schiller made a "cut" sound, and then he and the other mages retreated a little further. Strange and Stark stood in front of the ball of light.
After Strange fully charged Stark's magic core, he said: "Pay attention to stay awake. Once you feel that you have broken through the cosmic barrier, immediately focus on what you want to see. After reading it, don't stop and come back immediately."
, the whole process should be as short as possible. If the stay time is too long, no one knows what will happen..."
Stark nodded, indicating that he understood, so he inserted the core into the chest of his steel suit. In an instant, a magnificent magic light beam shot straight into the sky, and the huge Iron Demon God's shadow flashed, and then
Disappeared into the starry sky.
From the magical vision, more things can be seen. Stark's figure gradually becomes illusory, many light spots light up in his body, and then disappears into the deep space of the universe.
From Stark's perspective, he first reached the extreme wall of the single universe. Then, with the blessing of abundant energy, his wisdom broke through the barrier of the single universe. When he came to the top of the universe, he recovered.
With that kind of multi-line vision, you can see different things on different timelines at the same time.
Stark concentrated his mind and focused his vision on Peter Parker. Soon, he saw the figures of many Peter Parkers from the universe swinging in front of him. Most of them had a trace of gloom between their brows, far away.
Far less sunny than the Peter of this universe that Stark knew.
Following Peter Parker's story, he saw the Morlun Family, which is a base independent of the multiverse. It looks like a Gothic castle, except that the outside is scarlet, and there are some creeping shadows wrapping the building.
It looks evil and scary.
Stark focused his attention more and looked inside the castle. He found that many members of the Morlun family dressed as vampires were gathering in the hall of the castle. They put their hands on their shoulders, lowered their heads and chanted in a low voice, praying.
The sound is getting louder and louder.
Just when Stark wanted to hear what they were praying for, suddenly everyone was stunned, and the leader of the family showed a very confused expression.
But soon, they lowered their heads and began to pray. As the prayers became louder and louder, Stark saw the golden power of faith spreading from their bodies, gradually converging into a line, and projecting into the distance.
In the dark, Stark heard their thoughts:
"Focus...more focus...more faith...We need to control the new totem...He will bring us greater power..."
"Totem has responded to us... we are almost successful... we are almost successful..."
As the prayers became louder and louder, Stark looked far into the distance. He saw that at the end of the golden line, in the distant starry sky, an extremely bright light lit up...
The triple halo illuminated the universe, and Stark's thoughts were racing. Among the stars, he heard an ethereal voice coming from the stars:
"The universe will perish as it is born, and when all things will eventually come to an end, I will sprout from destruction and will also bring new life to all things that are destined to be destroyed. I will destroy all things that are destined to be destroyed, and then I will also... destroy destiny."
