American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 680 What to do

On the other side, Dean and Sam followed Pierce's convoy all the way and finally arrived at their destination, the Essex Group, on the afternoon of the next day.

Because they were worried that their tracking would be discovered, Dean and Sam did not drive the Impala this time. Instead, they rented an ordinary car and followed from a distance. As for Dean, he drove the Impala to follow from another route.

The raiders led by Pierce took the successfully captured Fire Man to a private hospital, which was a medical facility under the Essex Group that specialized in internal physical examinations. However, since the news of this enterprise colluding with the US government to research mutant genes was exposed, this place has been greatly affected.

On the surface, this facility was already in a closed stage, but when Sam saw Pierce and his team secretly escort the ice coffin containing the fire man into the building through the back door, he instantly understood what had happened here.

Judging from the experience he had gained from past experiences, this so-called closed hospital might not be that simple and there must be more secrets hidden in it.

"I'm already in position."

Sam was wearing sunglasses and sitting in the driver's seat, looking at the hospital building from afar through the car window, while holding the phone and talking to Dean.

"Our guess is correct. There is something very wrong with this Essex Group. I suspect they are still secretly conducting research on mutant genes, but this time they are focusing on those travelers from another universe."

Soon after the words were spoken, Dean's voice came from the receiver of the phone.

(Don't act rashly, I'll be there in ten minutes, don't do anything until I get there, these people are no joke, they have strong backing.)
"I know." Sam also understood the importance of this matter. Killing people was as easy as drinking water for these mercenaries, especially when the government supported them, which made them even more unscrupulous.

If you rashly sneak into this building without understanding the situation here, you will not only lose your initiative, but you will also be likely to put yourself in a dangerous situation, or even be killed by the people inside without being discovered by anyone.

So after hanging up the phone, Sam drove to a nearby cafe, went in, ordered a cup of coffee and bought some food.

He hadn't eaten anything along the way, for fear that he had lost those guys, which kept him in a state of high tension. Now, since a car was parked not far from the apparently closed hospital, Sam retreated and waited for Dean's arrival. Anyway, he had already found the location of those guys, so he was not afraid that they would run away.

Not long after, the coffee and snacks were brought to Sam by the waiter. Sam looked up and thanked him. Just as he was about to relax, eat something and take a rest, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Sam took out his cell phone and saw the note on the caller ID, and he was stunned for a moment.

The person who called was none other than Zhang Ye, who had been unreachable before. Sam didn't hesitate for too long and picked up the phone directly.

"Hello, is this Zhang Ye?"

"it's me."

Far away in New York, Zhang Ye stood on the rooftop of the Supreme Sanctuary, looking down at the building protected by a layer of magic circle, and replied with his mobile phone.

"I was in a special building before, the Supreme Sanctuary. Do you remember it?"

"Doctor Strange's secret base, I've read his comics." Sam nodded. At this time, he roughly guessed why Zhang Ye's phone call could not be reached before.

The facts were similar to what he thought, and Zhang Ye quickly gave an explanation.

"That's good to know. This place is protected by some kind of ancient magic, so mobile phone signals don't cover this place at all. It was only when I came to the rooftop that I saw the text messages and missed calls you sent me."

"I sent you a message through the app and you didn't see it?" Sam smacked his lips. "Could this also be the influence of some ancient and powerful magic?"

"Oh"

Zhang Ye's voice sounded a little helpless.

"That's not the case. This place has been abandoned for quite some time. I guess the internet was shut down long ago because we owed too much money. In fact, I even doubt whether the internet cable was laid here when it was abandoned. I haven't been able to find any WiFi since I came here."

"Uh, so that's it." Sam couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said seriously. "Wait, you said it was abandoned?" Hearing this, Zhang Ye's expression became serious. He slowly came to the edge of the rooftop and looked at the blood on the guardrail that had long dried into black. Next to it, there were two human skeletons. After a pause, he spoke.

"The Sanctuary of the Supreme Being has been severely damaged. The identity of the attackers is still unknown, but I sensed a scent of dark magic here (detected by Miss Time), and I initially suspect it was done by a dark wizard."

"How could it be! The Sanctuary of the Supreme Being was destroyed, and what about Doctor Strange?" Sam couldn't believe it. In his heart, Doctor Strange was probably one of the heroes with the highest ceiling in the Marvel Universe.

"I'm afraid there is no Doctor Strange in this world, Sam." Zhang Ye shook his head slightly, sighed and continued, "I found Wang's diary here. From the latest time recorded on it, this place was scrapped as early as 2000. As for Doctor Strange, I'm afraid he will have no chance to learn magic again."

Yes, the man who was seen dying tragically on the chair with his back to the door in the room of the Supreme Sanctuary was the future assistant of Doctor Strange, and would later take over as the King of the Sorcerer Supreme, but now, he was just a cold corpse.

After reading Wang's diary, Zhang Ye's heart was restless for a long time. To be honest, he didn't think that the situation in this world would be so strange at first.

The king did not die after suffering a fatal attack. He seemed to have released an extremely terrifying counter-magic, or it could have been released by other guardians of the Supreme Sanctuary. In short, they paid a huge price to eliminate those invaders, but the king also died because of this.

In order to keep this dusty history a secret, he used his last moments before his death to write down everything.
Holding the diary in his hand, Zhang Ye spoke with a gloomy expression while holding the phone.

"I found some key clues here. Someone is secretly modifying the history of this world. As the supreme wizard who protects the world, Ancient One quickly noticed that something was wrong, so he personally traveled through the timeline to figure it all out. However, judging from the current situation, he has failed."

"Can Ancient One also travel through timelines?"

"He used the power of the Time Stone. Although I don't know where he got this treasure from, what I can be sure of is that after he used the Time Stone to travel through the timeline, he never came back."

Having said this, Zhang Ye closed his eyes slightly.

"As a result, the real timeline lost the protection of the Supreme Sorcerer. I guess this is also the reason why those dark wizards gathered together to attack the Supreme Sanctuary."

Wang's diary should be intended to tell the truth of the incident to other wizards who stepped into this place intentionally or unintentionally. What he didn't expect was that decades have passed and no wizard has ever set foot here. It is even uncertain whether there is still a wizard heritage outside. Human society has been suppressing mutants for many years, and it is estimated that even some wizards have been affected.

In the end, this diary fell into Zhang Ye's hands.

"I can now confirm that this world is not just the world of the X-Men. In the original history, there should be the Avengers and other superheroes here, but due to the changes in history, they all disappeared in the timeline."

Zhang Ye actually felt very guilty. He finally understood what the "thing he had always ignored" was.

This is the 20th Century Fox Universe, but it's also the Marvel Universe.

The humans or heroes living in this world don't know what "copyright trafficking" is. In their memories, the world they live in is the real world, and in this real reality, everything will proceed according to the appropriate timeline.

The pollution from the higher-dimensional world will not forcibly erase the heroes on this timeline, but they can modify the timeline, change the origins of the heroes, and secretly do many things in the already dusty history.

Those places that cannot be captured by the camera, those various tiny Easter eggs hidden in the movie, are all "traces" left by high-dimensional pollution in the multiverse.

You think this is the X-Men universe specially created by 20th Century Fox, but in fact, this is just one of the many branches of the Marvel multiverse, a universe where the origin stories of all superheroes except the X-Men have been modified.

However, Zhang Ye didn’t know the source of all this.

At first, Zhang Ye thought that the changes in the universe were caused by the Dark Observer. He was always curious about which node of the timeline the Dark Observer had changed, and why major changes would not cause fluctuations in the timeline.

And now Zhang Ye has figured it out. The changes in this universe have nothing to do with the Dark Observer. All of this is due to the pollution from the higher-dimensional world and the great will of the world he lives in. This is a force that even Ancient One cannot resist.

As for the Dark Observers, they simply found this universe, and they discovered it with their own 'help'.

Now Zhang Ye only wants to know one thing - what exactly do they want to do?
