Chapter 379 Two Chains of Suspicion
Two ultra-high-energy sources detected by the radar were about to converge. The Nova Legion's warships merged into a single energy loop, and a golden combined shield formed along the fleet's outer edge to withstand the impending energy burst: "Full power shields!"
At the moment two objects, as large as stars, collide, the point of impact is like a supernova explosion, and a brand new sun is about to be born.
The entire dark expanse of deep space was illuminated in an instant, bringing sunlight to all the scattered celestial bodies in this universe that had not seen stars for billions of years.
But what's baffling is that the expected explosive impact didn't come. This unusually dazzling celestial phenomenon only lasted for a moment before fading into silence, like a one-time firework display.
"What exactly is going on?"
The Nova Corps, located several cosmic units away, had no idea what could cause such a bizarre cosmic phenomenon, relying solely on radar: "We don't know, there are no high-energy readings on the radar anymore!"
"Send out a joint squadron for close-range reconnaissance!"
Captain Marvel, who was at the center of the explosion, had lost consciousness. A few drops of blood floated from her mouth, turning into spheres and drifting in space.
After exchanging a blow with Joey, whose bio-field had exploded, the light and flames on her body had completely dissipated under such an attack. Joey's punch had directly exhausted all her energy, causing her to exit her binary form.
Aside from delivering a solid punch to Captain Marvel's face, most of his bio-force field energy acted like a singularity, completely absorbing and neutralizing the matter and energy radiation emitted by their earth-shattering collision.
Meanwhile, Joey's bio-field radiation was rapidly diminishing due to the end of the battle, and he soon faded out of the Nova Corps' radar detection range.
However, for him, the precipitous decline of the bio-force field no longer meant a loss of power of the same magnitude.
If I had to put it in perspective, the radiation Captain Marvel, that humanoid quasar, emitted was like someone used to living in oxygen-depleted environments suddenly ingesting a normal concentration of oxygen—it actually made him feel better than before.
The biofield essentially originates from the overflow of cellular energy from Kryptonians; the more energy stored in the cells, the stronger the biofield naturally becomes.
Unlike normal Kryptonians, Joey's biofield is almost non-existent when operating at low power, only gradually increasing to an undeniable level when exerting force.
This may be due to a stage in Doomsday's evolutionary path. Before Doomsday had absolute power, he learned to mimic and hide.
After his battle with Galactus and being resurrected by Doomsday after being hit by the Ultimate Eraser, Joey gained even more traits, which he couldn't quite say whether they were good or bad.
Joey stepped forward and picked up the unconscious Captain Marvel, intending to take her to the nearest prison space station to rest.
He had no idea how long this guy, who was so reckless in a fight, could survive in the universe in his current unconscious state.
During the flight, he didn't forget to review the large-scale but actually very short battle: "It was a completely pointless fight."
Although it was meaningless, Captain Marvel's sudden appearance did remind Joey of something.
It's not just his faction that's seeking the Infinity Stones; other forces and entities in the universe are also eyeing them covetously.
He not only has to race against time, but also against others.
Making such a fuss over a Power Gem is not a good thing.
"Time, mind, and power are in place; what's missing is space, reality, and the gem of the soul —"
Joey's rambling finally woke Carol in his arms. She groaned and opened her eyes wide, immediately seeing Superman's face. Her light instantly reignited.
"Calm down, calm down!" Joey was so frightened that he flung Captain Marvel several miles away.
She was just knocked to sleep by Joey's punch, and her memory is probably still stuck in the part before she blacked out, fighting Superman.
Joey didn't want to get punched twice more for no reason: "It's over!"
Captain Marvel clutched her head and began to sort through her memories of the previous battle. In the last moment before she lost consciousness, all she saw was Superman throwing that simple, unadorned punch in front of her.
Next, he loses consciousness and wakes up in Superman's arms, making the outcome of the battle obvious: "I lost—the Power Stone is safe enough in your hands."
Superman has proven he has the ability to control and protect the Infinity Stones, but Carol vaguely remembers hearing him muttering the names of other stones when she woke up: "But don't tell me you're collecting other stones at the same time!"
As relics left over from the beginning of creation, the six Infinity Stones, when brought together, can unleash the most powerful and unparalleled force in the universe—a power that no individual or organization in the universe can control.
In ancient times, an organization once possessed all six Infinity Stones, but they all vanished without a trace in the annals of history.
"I collect gems for a perfectly legitimate reason, a reason I cannot yet tell you."
Joey, trying his best to explain that he wasn't an ambitious gem collector, practically had "My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are for justice" written on his chest: "From the beginning, I never wanted to possess any Infinity Stones. After all this is over, if we still have a future, and if the stones still exist, I will ask you to keep one of the Infinity Stones for me."
The less Superman said, the more curious Captain Marvel became: "Just how serious is the situation that even you, who could defeat Galactus, can't explain it?"
"You're right. If I had to choose between facing Galactus again and the problems I'll have to face in the future, I would choose Galactus without hesitation."
Joey finally understood why some annoying hermit masters liked to play riddles with people who were kept in the dark, because he was doing the same thing now: "Unless you come back to Earth with me and don't return to space for a while, I can't tell you a single word about what's happening on Earth."
The chain of suspicion stemming from the multiverse collision crisis does not only exist between two Earths in different universes.
The mechanism is as follows: two nearly parallel universes collide, and the collision point is located on Earth, which is on the edge of the Milky Way. If the two Earths collide, the entire universe will be destroyed.
This creates a deadly chain of suspicion between the two Earths—
Ultimately, it was through unity and cooperation, risking the complete destruction of both universes, that a solution was found that allowed both Earths to survive.
Or should we just end it all by destroying the other side's Earth and temporarily preserving both universes?
When you don't know what a complete stranger would choose to do in order to survive, cooperation is simply out of the question.
But the premise that "destroying one Earth can temporarily preserve two universes" has brought forth a completely new chain of suspicion—
The universe is vast. What would happen if this news were to spread to other interstellar civilizations other than Earth?
If the two Earths were to collide, the entire structure of the universe would be destroyed, and everyone would face annihilation.
For these interstellar empires, is there a low-risk, simple, and effortless way to avoid all of this?
Could it be that they send military forces to help protect Earth in this universe, and then continuously destroy another parallel universe?
No.
Joey was quite certain that for a competent interstellar civilization, such a method was fraught with uncertainty and extremely risky, and would definitely not be the best option.
From a rational perspective, after weighing the pros and cons, these leaders of the Star Sea Empire, who bear the weight of trillions of lives on their shoulders, will definitely come up with the most effortless and safest method, just like Joey.
