American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 716 Across the Rift!!
In the tavern, the observer played with the wine bottle in his hand, watching the clear wine swirling slightly in the glass, his face full of calmness.

""According to the time, the Anti-Monitor should have already arrived in that broken reality. Why, are you not going to solve this problem yourself?""

"I believe Pietro and Kara will figure it out. This is why I created the Supervisor in the first place."

"You really trust that Kryptonian, but that mutant... Unfortunately, I don't see any good points in him. Hasn't he always been a burden to you?" the observer asked casually.

"burden?"

The corner of Zhang Ye's mouth curled up, and then he pointed in a direction outside the tavern and spoke.

"Do you know what I was like when I first came here? I had no identity, no ability, and even no function to show off. If it weren't for Pietro escorting me all the way, I would have died in this world a long time ago. If I really want to talk about burdens, I should be the burden."

""hehe.""

Hearing this, the observer laughed out loud as if he had heard some kind of joke.

""A being who defines the material and magic of this world actually said that he is a burden. Time Bard, you really are what you said? Versailles.""

Hearing the words spoken by the observer, Zhang Ye's hand holding the wine bottle suddenly froze, his face showed some understanding, and he looked at the observer opposite with complicated eyes.

Noticing Zhang Ye's reaction, the observer had no intention of hiding anything and just smiled slightly.

"Yes, your guess is correct. This is not the first time I have seen an 'invader' like you. You guys from the higher dimensional world always have some new words in your mouths. After observing for a long time, I have learned some of them. Sometimes, they are quite useful. "

"Where did you see those people?" Zhang Ye asked.

“Don’t you already have the answer in your heart?”

The observer looked at Zhang Ye meaningfully. Seeing that the other party did not respond to his words, he smiled and continued after a moment's silence.

"A dark rift that shook the world appeared in the multiverse. It was inevitable that it would attract the attention of certain beings. We, the observers, were the first race to come into contact with the pollution. At the same time, we also took on the responsibility of investigating the whole story. I led the operation, and the three of us went to the source of the pollution."

Zhang Ye’s mind quickly emerged the moment when he first signed a contract with the Time Controller. The magnificent chasm that spanned countless multiverses, and the countless darkness and maggots that emerged from that crack.

He still remembered that Miss Time had lost the information and document records about that place, but now it seems that Miss Time has a close mechanical connection with the source of the pollution.

However, Zhang Ye did not disturb the observer, but listened quietly to the other party's story.

"At first, we just thought it was an invasion from another world that we couldn't observe. After all, as you know, here, multiverse-level crises are basically commonplace and nothing to be surprised about."

"But what we didn't expect was that the energy was extremely strange and twisted. It didn't belong to any known world, and it didn't even have any rules or tracks. It originated at the end and was destroyed at the birth. Before you knew it, you were already a part of it. Once you were touched, it was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, with no possibility of escape. But because of this, I felt something else from that power."

Having said that, the observer put down the wine bottle and looked at Zhang Ye with interest.

"Why don't you guess what the other side of that dark chasm looks like?"

In an instant, many answers popped up in Zhang Ye's mind. Zhang Ye even guessed that the other side of the crack was the world where he originally lived, but he ruled them out one by one.

Zhang Ye took a sip of wine and shook his head gently.

““Didn’t you just ask me where I met someone like you?”

The observer knew very well that Zhang Ye had already figured out the ins and outs of these things, but he was also very sensible and did not point this out. Instead, he continued to explain according to Zhang Ye's reaction.

“Remember the story about the mirror you told me before? I really admire you. You almost touched the edge of the truth at that time.

It’s like the other side of a mirror, on the other side of that crack, in the darkness that seems like eternal night, countless universes that are exactly the same as here are reflected.”

"Born from pollution, radiating like a mirror, spreading pollution." Zhang Ye thought of the Black Patrol universe, and also thought of the group of serial numbers that originated from pollution.

“No one knows how that world came into being, and no one knows that there are so many ‘wonderful’ multiverses outside of our world.”

"What did you see?" Zhang Ye frowned.

For some reason, his heartbeat suddenly quickened a bit, and his palms clenched into fists unnaturally.

The observer was very satisfied with Zhang Ye's reaction. Although there was a smile on his face, Zhang Ye could hear the slight friction sound of his teeth.

Shaking his head slightly, the observer murmured.

"I have seen countless invaders like you who have descended from higher-dimensional worlds. They carry pollution that is enough to reshape the universe, and they act recklessly in the multiverse of that world.

All the creatures that come into contact with them are like zombies, turned into puppets in the pollution.
I saw universes crumbling in the pollution. Without any signs or reasons, the multiverses were destroyed so easily. Along with the invaders that descended on that world, it was as if everything had come to an abrupt end.
You want to know what I saw.”

The observer's smile was extremely bleak.

“I saw the truth of this world.”

Flashpoint One Universe.

The ruins of Arkham Asylum.

The dim sky was covered with dark clouds at some point. Among the clouds, black shadows were swimming like fish in water. The whole Gotham was shrouded in a dark and silent atmosphere.

Under the gazes of the heroes below, a thunderous explosion suddenly tore through the sky, shocking the Punisher and Batman so much that they couldn't help but step back with extremely bad expressions on their faces.

One after another, pitch-black ghosts emerged from the dark clouds, carrying substances that did not belong to this world. They kept roaring and shrieking, and flew towards the bottom like a swarm of locusts.

"Then, what the hell are those things?!" The Punisher tightened his grip on the axe.

"I've never felt this kind of energy. It's like seeing the opposite of life, but it's a little different from the octopus version of Batman," Doctor Strange said after thinking for a while.

"Those are the souls of the dead in the antimatter world, the army under the Anti-Monitor." Batman glanced at Doctor Strange. Although he didn't know what the octopus version of himself that the other person was talking about was, he explained quickly.

The sentinel of the "antimatter world" narrowed his eyes slightly. At this moment, he was sure that the energy that he had just felt, which was similar to nothingness, came from this antimatter world.

"I'm afraid this is the vanguard sending us a greeting. The Anti-Monitor is about to arrive."

Batman gritted his teeth, then turned around and ran away regardless of his injuries.

"Hey, what are you doing!?" The Punisher noticed Batman's actions and couldn't help but shout.

Batman paused and turned around to reply in a hoarse voice. "The antimatter army is coming, the Anti-Monitor has arrived, Gotham is about to become a battlefield, and the other heroes are now leaderless. What do you think I should do?"

After hearing what Batman said, the Punisher opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Judging from the number of ghosts that almost occupied the sky, they alone were definitely no match for the opponent. Besides, the Anti-Monitor had not shown up yet. Judging from Batman's expression, the opponent was definitely not an ordinary person.

The best plan now is to gather all the superheroes in this world as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, the Punisher raised his axe and stood firmly beside Doctor Strange and the Sentry.

"Although it's just a 'hello', this number is a bit too outrageous."

The Punisher licked his lips and looked at the souls leaping down like raindrops. He couldn't help but shouting to Doctor Strange.

"They're coming down! Quick! Doctor, cast a spell or use Warp! "

Doctor Strange rolled his eyes speechlessly as he listened to the Punisher's words, but he also knew that the situation was urgent, so he flew into the air, and the golden light condensed into strands of energy between his hands.

The antimatter ghost roared, making a sharp sound in the air, and pounced towards the three people below with its fangs and claws at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, even Doctor Strange, who often fought against supernatural beings, couldn't help but frown.

"This reminds me of the early days of fighting in Limbo, but honestly, I'm starting to miss that Mephisto guy."

Muttering something in a low voice, Doctor Strange turned around and shouted at the Sentinel.

"Robert, I'm asking you to help me bear the cost of magic!"

"Well, leave it to me."

The sentry responded and prepared for battle.

This was not the first or second time that he had to help Doctor Strange bear the cost. For ordinary wizards, the cost meant losing limbs or even their lives, but for the Sentinel, it was no different from losing a hair. Those severe costs could not even cause his nails to fall off.

With such a perfect backer, Doctor Strange finally felt relieved and smiled confidently.

"Then, let's have a magical feast!"
