American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

Meaning!

Meaning is the understanding of nature or something by intelligent life. It is the meaning given to an object by cognition. It is also an ineffable spiritual content, including macro-ideas such as reason and concept.

Meaning can represent many things, and a universe or even a world also has its own meaning.

And here, the special meaning of this universe will be the key to the dark observers' ulterior plan, and it is also what Zhang Ye wants to figure out most now.

"Your previous words are correct, ma'am, this world must have a special 'meaning' that we don't know, and this is also the key link for the dark observers to implement their plans!"

Zhang Ye stared at Miss Time closely, with an excited expression on his face. At this time, he finally figured out the doubts in his heart.

Why did the dark observers choose this universe, this timeline, why did they deliberately send those variants that did not belong to this timeline here, and why did they want to break the balance of this world.

All this seems to have no standard answer. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Zhang Ye has now successfully found his next direction.

Previously, Zhang Ye thought that his act of sending Mysterio and others back to the wasteland universe had destroyed the plans of the Dark Observers, so they were more anxious to send more people to this world.

But now, Zhang Ye had a completely different idea in his mind.

"Everything we are facing is a smokescreen thrown by the Dark Observers. Whether it is Mysterio or Polaris, these are all their actions to divert my attention. They hope that I can be like before. Yes, that's right, they know me very well, better than I thought, because they are observers, they can see my every move!"

These people sent to this universe by the Dark Observers were definitely not randomly selected, and this is exactly the case. Each of them is a person familiar to Zhang Ye, even the wild sentinel who is causing a massacre in Manhattan and the mutants who detonated the Capitol are also "acquaintances" in Zhang Ye's memory.

This is the purpose of the Dark Observers, because the role of these people is nothing else, they are all smokescreens used to interfere with their own judgment.

Zhang Ye looked at the mirror above the sink and looked at himself. He put away his smile and examined his face with a serious expression.

"What would I do if it was me in the past?"

This is the 'battlefield' carefully selected by the Dark Observers, and it is also their home field. Each of their actions has an extraordinary meaning. It can even be said that this is the road they have paved for themselves.

Because they know their past and experience, they also know what they will do when facing similar problems, and this is the courage they have to reach out to themselves.

Those who are involved are confused, and those who are on the sidelines are clear.

Zhang Ye knew that he was already in the game. If it weren't for the old wolf Logan reminding himself, I'm afraid he really couldn't react for a while.

Looking at Zhang Ye in deep thought, Miss Time thought for a while. She looked through every file in the system archive, recalling all of Zhang Ye's actions in all the strange universes before. After a pause, she finally figured it out.

[Sir, do you still remember your behavior pattern in the world where Deadpool slaughtered the Marvel Universe? 】

"I remember that I didn't have such strong fighting power at that time. The only thing I could do was to use my understanding and foresight of that world to mobilize all the resources I could control to face an existence whose origin I didn't know at all."

[Yes, this was your idea at that time, and it was also your actual action at that time, but later, when you went to the wasteland universe, how did you solve the disaster of the wasteland and the collision crisis of the Apocalypse War Universe? 】

"It's still the cognition of that world. I know the direction of that timeline, and I also know what kind of loopholes there are to exploit. As long as I can change my position slightly, then everyone will operate according to my plan, whether they are willing or not, the general trend."

[Yes. The general trend. 】

Miss Time looked at Zhang Ye's face with a complicated tone.

[Sir, you are standing too high. 】

Hearing this, Zhang Ye was obviously stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Miss Time flipped through the files in her hand, blinking and observing Zhang Ye now.

[Sir, you are the great Lord of Dimensions, the supreme Lord of Time. You are omniscient and almighty about everything in the timeline. You know everything that happened in all the events we encountered before, all the worlds full of despair and about to be destroyed, and you even know what role you should play in them. ]

[But——]

Miss Time changed the subject.

[Your advantage in controlling the timeline has also become your biggest weakness. ]

"You mean" Zhang Ye frowned slightly. "It is precisely because I know too much about this universe that the Dark Observer took advantage of this and made me subconsciously ignore some things, some things that I should have known long ago."

[It should be so. ]

Miss Time nodded gently.

[Confused thoughts are their only way to interfere with you. They will create all kinds of distractions to affect your judgment, but there is only one thing they can never do, and that is to control your thoughts. 】

"Things I should have known a long time ago." Zhang Yi murmured to himself. He rubbed his swollen temples and felt that his mind was extremely confused now.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yi turned on the faucet and poured cold water on his face, so that he could relax mentally and emotionally.

After rinsing several times in succession, Zhang Yi raised his head again.

Looking at the tips of his hair that were wet with clear water in the mirror, and the determined face with water droplets hanging on the wall, Zhang Yi's eyes gradually became darker.

"It seems that this time, I have to change my thinking, or in other words, I have to go back to the original thinking and use some 'Old School' methods."

[Sir, do you have any idea? 】

Looking at Zhang Yi who had regained her composure, Miss Time also had a smile on her face. She knew that the person in her memory who could perfectly solve any difficulty she encountered was back.

"You're right, I've relied too much on the power I have for a long time."

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand, looked at his somewhat fair palm, and murmured calmly.

"As for the plots that happened in these worlds, the ins and outs of the timeline, and after I learned magic, as my strength became stronger and stronger, I began to rely on this almost invincible power, but now , these have become my burden and become my weakness targeted by the Dark Observer.”

"I finally understand why Batman is called the world's top superhero."

The corners of Zhang Yi's mouth curled up slightly. At this moment, he had figured out a lot of things, and at the same time, some of the fog in his mind gradually became clearer.

"Sometimes, great power and omniscience are just shackles. When faced with crises that threaten the entire world or even the multiverse, an ordinary person's power is much greater than that of an extraordinary person. "

"I still have an advantage, even in the home field chosen by the Dark Observer."

"If I want to win this game of chess, I'm afraid I can no longer be the one playing chess."

Zhang Yi's eyes brightened a lot, and he turned to look at Miss Time, with that iconic confident smile on his face again.

[I know adults will definitely find a way. 】Miss Time also immediately jumped onto Zhang Yi's hand, showing a big smile. [Then what should we do next? 】

"Put aside those distractions and put down all the power in my hands. I am no longer the dimensional lord, nor am I the master of the regulators. I am not a time traveler who is familiar with the timeline plot. I am just me, at the beginning. "Me." Zhang Yi said softly while holding Miss Time.

【You at the beginning? 】

Miss Time was slightly stunned. She didn't understand what Zhang Yi meant.

Zhang Yi did not explain too much, but just smiled mysteriously.

"Yes, the me at the beginning - the me who didn't know anything, was nervous, anxious, fearful, suspicious, and even had some self-destructive tendencies, the me who just appeared in the ruined universe."

When Miss Time heard this, she was very sensible and did not express any opinion.

In her files, there was never any record of Zhang Yi's actions in the ruined universe. Their origins were forever fixed in their first encounter, when Zhang Yi found Miss Time from President X's collection room. that moment.

Before that, Miss Time didn't know what Zhang Yi had gone through, just like Zhang Yi didn't know what Miss Time had encountered.

This was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

But now, Zhang Yi finally knew what he should do.

"Guess, madam, after I forget all the memories about this world and cannot use the powerful magic that I rely on to survive, the only power I can use is you and my identity as an ordinary person, then this When the time comes, what should I do?”

Miss Time tilted her head. She did not answer, but quietly waited for Zhang Ye's next words.

And Zhang Yi didn't keep her waiting too long.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yi slowly spoke.

"As a gangster, I don't have any resources in my hands. Facing an extremely dangerous world full of crazy extraordinary beings and hostile humans, there is only one thing I can do - that is to hide myself and start from the most basic level. Start gathering information."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhang Ye said.

"I'm going to rejoin the ranks of scavengers."
