American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 650 Retreat to advance!

Is there no way out?
After Zhang Ye finished speaking, the atmosphere outside the church suddenly fell silent.

Miss Time stared at Zhang Ye in a daze with a very complicated expression. With her computing ability, she was unable to discern the information in Zhang Ye's words. But from what Zhang Ye said, things had developed to the point where they could no longer control them.

I don’t know how long it was, but finally, Miss Time took the initiative to break the silence.

[My Lord, there is something I don’t understand.]

"What's the matter?" Zhang Ye shifted his gaze.

[If the pollution comes from you, why do those dark observers still want to deal with you, and why don't you pollute other people, such as me, such as Carla and Pietro, you even control the entire universe. ]

She couldn't figure out the meaning of pollution. From her perspective, pollution should also be a kind of force. Since it is a force, then it can be learned and used.

The pollution that caused the observers to become evil came from Zhang Ye, so this should be equivalent to Zhang Ye accidentally using his own power to infect them. If this is the case, the other party should stand on Zhang Ye's side unconditionally. Why would they break away from the control of the fulcrum and become enemies of Zhang Ye?
Zhang Ye also understood the meaning of Miss Time's words. Zhang Ye pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Ma'am, pollution is a kind of energy that cannot be understood or defined. The emergence of this substance is the result of a top-down influence from the high-level world. Because of this, this energy is almost impossible to control. To be honest, before this, I didn't even know that I was one of the sources of pollution."

"As for what you said about why I didn't contaminate other people around me, have you ever thought about why Pietro, Kara, and the people in the wasteland could so easily deviate from their established routes?"

[Your Excellency is saying that you have already polluted them without realizing it, but their reaction is not that big, right? ]

"That's my guess. One is from the worms, the pollution that originated from the end, whose purpose is to destroy all multiverses and derail the heroes from their original tracks, leading them to a path that is destined to end in tragedy and despair. The other is from a pollution source that can talk and walk, and somehow got here from a higher world. There are still some differences between these two types after all."

Miss Time looked at Zhang Ye calmly and continued speaking.

[Sir, you can actually seek help from some powerful beings. There are countless powerful beings in the multiverse, and there are countless supreme gods. With their help, perhaps we can solve this problem more safely.]

"Ask the Supreme God for help. Do you think this is realistic?"

Zhang Ye shook his head slightly, looking at the somewhat naive Miss Time, he didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a pause, Zhang Ye continued.

"The pollution is extremely strange. All the famous beings are trying to avoid it. If they really want to solve this problem, they should take the initiative to show up and find me when I have dealt with the Black Patrol Universe. But the fact is that no Supreme God has appeared except the Observer. In fact, since I came here, all the Supreme Gods have become blind and deaf."

"Can you imagine, ma'am? A group of beings that possess all kinds of supreme powers would turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside. Even the observers can find out what we are doing. I don't believe they don't know, but even so, no one is willing to help us. Do you know what this means?"

Zhang Ye raised his head and looked directly at Miss Time, and Miss Time quickly gave her understanding.

[Perhaps they simply don’t want to admit all this. Among the many metaverses, they have already sat on the highest position. Standing in their position, no one should be willing to admit that they are a false existence, right? ]

"Fake? I don't think so. Every world is real, just different planes and dimensions." Zhang Ye shook his head and continued. "I can understand that the top beings don't want to show up. After all, their positions are very high. If they show up rashly, anything that happens will make things serious."

"but--"

"Because the supreme gods at the top chose to remain silent, other gods were also unwilling to have too much contact with pollution. For them, the speed at which pollution spreads is far slower than the speed at which the multiverse was born. As long as the multiverse is growing positively as a whole, they will not take the initiative to intervene."

Miss Time's eyes widened and she said in disbelief.

[How could this happen? Don’t they care about the lives that died in the pollution? ! ]

Do you care?
Zhang Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud, a smile filled with irony, anger and sadness.

"In my world, even those who have killed countless innocent people can be whitewashed. Even those who have done unforgivable things can be forgiven by some people. Do you think anyone cares about all this?"

"Even Loki, who is now in charge of the World Tree, is unwilling to have too much contact with me. This is enough to prove something. In the end, I even have to pin my hopes on demons like Mephisto and the Beholder. Oh, how ironic."

Miss Time found the first sentence a little difficult to understand, but fortunately she understood the second sentence. She murmured in silence.

【So, sir, what should we do now? 】

Hearing this, Zhang Ye replied calmly.

"It's very simple. You don't have to do anything."

[Nothing to do?] Miss Time repeated, hesitantly.

[I am a little worried. Since the Dark Watchers have attracted us to this world, their first goal has been achieved. If we don’t prepare in advance, I’m afraid...]

"Then do you know what they want to do next?" Zhang Ye asked.

When Miss Time heard this, she shook her body slightly. Seeing this, Zhang Ye continued.

“That’s it. No matter what they want to do, they need my help. I can’t guarantee their behavior, but I can control my own actions. As long as I don’t take action, no matter what their purpose is, it will not be achieved.”

Miss Time looked at Zhang Ye with worry in her eyes. With her current ability, she could not understand Zhang Ye's behavior at all. The only thing she could do was to believe in Zhang Ye, the Lord of Time who had a connection with her.

At this moment, the church door suddenly opened.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Ye turned his head slightly, and Miss Time disappeared without knowing when.

"What are you doing?" Petra walked out of the church and found Zhang Ye standing on the steps outside the door.

"It's just some wind." Zhang Ye responded casually, then turned his gaze back to the distant sky, staring at the dark clouds that were gradually gathering. "It's going to rain."

Looking at Zhang Ye's current state, Petra opened her mouth, not knowing how to start. After a moment's silence, she took the initiative to speak.

"The children inside the church were terrified."

"Normal." Zhang Ye sighed and said faintly. "It's their first time coming to a strange world, and knowing that their world is likely to be destroyed, this is not something they can accept at their age."

"I think so too. Mysterio and Wolfsbane are okay. They are not newcomers. I always believe in my fellow mutants. But Cloak and Dagger are still children." Petra frowned, looking a little nervous.

"Are you worried that they won't be able to accept the reality, so they might do something excessive?" Zhang Ye turned his head and looked at Petra.

"To be honest," Petra shook her head. "I don't know. In fact, I don't know what to do now. The development of all this has gone beyond my understanding. The same is true for the children inside. Although they don't show it, I can see that they are always on edge."

Listening quietly to Petra's story, Zhang Ye did not answer immediately, but stared at her face with intent.

It was not until Petra felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Zhang Ye that Zhang Ye slowly spoke.

"The people gathered here are the only surviving lives in the various parallel universes. You live not only for yourselves, but also for the inheritance of the world you live in. What I can tell you is that something big will happen in this universe soon, and it will be dangerous for you to stay here."

"I'm not afraid!" Petra responded immediately.

"I know, but you have to think about them." Zhang Ye raised his hand to interrupt Petra, then pointed in the direction of the church gate and continued.

"I don't want to hide it from you. This matter was caused by me. There is a group of beings beyond the multiverse who are plotting some kind of conspiracy. I don't know what they want to do, nor do I know why they sent these children here. The only thing I can be sure of is that they are coming for me."

"My Lord, what do you mean?" Petra looked at Zhang Ye blankly. "The purpose of these four people coming here is not simple? Do you suspect that they are colluding with those entities, or have some unspeakable secrets?"

"That's not the case. When I first met them, I had already read their minds and souls. I can guarantee that they have not been in contact with those guys, but..."

Zhang Ye paused and continued.

"No matter what their purpose is, they would never send these people here for no reason. It is not a good thing to let you stay here."

"So what should we do?" Petra blinked. "Just tell me. I'll follow your orders."

"I need you to take them to another world."

Zhang Ye slowly stretched out his hand and patted Petra on the shoulder.

"my world."
