Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

Chapter 236 A Country Bumpkin from the Main Universe?

"So, in this world, at least until 2018, our timelines were similar."

Tony Stark leaned against the metal wall of the Raft prison, arms crossed, speaking rapidly, "But because of a crisis that suddenly broke out that year called the 'Quantum Virus,' it spread from the quantum realm into real life, turning all life into zombies."

And we, the heroes, were foolishly piloting a Quinjet in this universe, landing precisely in the center of a horde of zombies, only to get mobbed and beaten up. Right?

He raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the group of unfamiliar faces in front of him.

Raft Prison.

This enormous cage in the middle of the sea has now become humanity's last refuge.

Iron Man and Captain America looked around and felt a strange sense of familiarity—after all, they had spent some time here before.

Of course, one came to visit the prisoner, and the other came to break him out.

Who would have thought that in this world, this prison would become humanity's last bastion?

"Let me state this first."

Tony raised a finger, his expression serious. "It absolutely cannot be a problem with the version of me in this world."

From my perspective, when faced with such a strange thing, I would definitely send out drones for reconnaissance first, and then use heavy firepower for saturation coverage.

Like those who like to charge into enemy lines and engage in close combat with zombies—"

He paused, then glanced meaningfully at Steve beside him. "Seems like a habit of one of the captains, doesn't it?"

Steve Rogers glanced at him expressionlessly and didn't reply.

He has no interest in holding anyone accountable.

He was more concerned with something else.

"I'd like to know," Steve began, his voice steady, "whether the Infinity Stones still exist in this universe. If they do, we'd like to borrow them temporarily."

Because in my world, there are many things—and many people—that need to be salvaged.

There was something heavy in his eyes. It was the face that had turned to ashes in the countless times he had seen it in the dead of night.

But it's a pity.

Spider-Man—the Peter Parker of this universe—shaked his head.

He sat on the edge of the bed next to him, his hands clasped together, his expression somber.

Shang Qi shook his head.

The Red Guardian also shook his head.

Because they too once held the same hope, believing that the Infinity Stones could salvage everything.

Unfortunately, this thing has long been obsolete.

Plus--

"Alright." Steve looked down at the last remaining quantum teleporter in his hand, his voice low. "Looks like we've come to the wrong world after all."

This isn't our world. This might be our future... or it might not.

He gripped the small capsule tightly.

This is the last chance.

If they fail to get what they're supposed to get this time, they have no chance at all.

The remaining capsule could only be sent back to them—they returned empty-handed.

"Wow! Captain America!"

A warm voice broke the slightly heavy atmosphere.

Scott Lang—Ant-Man—from the Zombie Universe walks over carrying a plate of freshly baked pizza.

He placed the pizza on the table, picked up a slice, and popped it into his mouth, chewing as he curiously observed his other self—

Scott, wearing the same style of uniform, standing behind Steve.

"To be honest, when they told me this, I thought they were joking."

He leaned closer, his eyes sparkling. "Hello! You should remember me, right? We even had a fight at the airport!"

"Hahaha! That's it!" Ant-Man from the zombie universe laughed, then suddenly realized something, his expression becoming subtle. "Wow, don't tell me... who are you?"

"That's right, that's me—"

"My God! This is unbelievable!"

Ant-Man from the Zombie Universe grabbed the other man's shoulder, looking him up and down with a mixture of surprise and affection in his eyes. "You know what? I've always wanted a good brother!"

Although this good brother of mine might be acting a little strange now—after all, you're from another universe—I want to ask, in your world…

How is Hope?

His voice suddenly became somewhat cautious in his last question.

The other Scott paused for a moment, then gave a warm smile.

"She's fine. She's really fine."

He patted the other person on the shoulder. "Well... you know, I went to the quantum dimension and when I came out, I found that my daughter had suddenly grown five years older, and she's almost as tall as me. That feeling... was so strange."

He didn't say it was in his own universe, but Hope also turned into the reality that flew back.

"It's pretty strange," Ant-Man murmured in the zombie universe, his eyes somewhat dazed.

He kept listening to another version of himself speak.

Gradually, he came to understand what he had experienced in this world.

It turns out that Scott Lang in this world didn't foolishly stay in the quantum realm for just a moment like I did—

In fact, he didn't even have time to go inside.

Before Thanos snapped his fingers, he was bitten by a zombie in an accident, leaving only his head.

How miserable.

That's disgusting.

But when you compare them like this...

Another Scott suddenly realized that his daughter had suddenly grown five years older, which was no big deal at all.

His daughter is so beautiful!

"Uh, actually—" Spider-Man's voice interrupted, cutting off the two Ant-Men's eye contact.

He stood up, pointed behind him, and said, "If you really need help, we can help you too. After all, we have many very capable people here. For example..."

He turned to look behind him.

John Walker was holding a cup of hot tea, leaning against the wall, his eyes fixed on Captain America.

That look in his eyes was incredibly complex—

There's admiration, there's scrutiny, and there's an indescribable... longing?

As for Bob—

"Is he getting his ears pierced?" another Scott asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry about him," Spider-Man waved his hand helplessly. "He's always like this."

Bob was tucking his little finger deep into his ear, his expression focused, as if the ultimate secrets of the universe were hidden there.

His mouth was slightly open, his eyes were somewhat unfocused, and he exuded an aura of "Do not disturb, I am exploring."

Ok.

Let's ignore this minor detail for now.

"I can't," John Walker finally spoke, his voice calm. He straightened up from the wall, picked up his teacup, and walked over. "According to them, in their universe, Thanos snapped his fingers with the Infinity Stones and took away half of all life."

Theoretically, these souls would be contained within the 'death' realm of the multiverse. If we were to try and take them away, it would be tantamount to waging war against death itself.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Although I hate to admit it, I don't think we can defeat them. Not to mention, they have an entire pantheon of creator gods backing them."

He sighed softly and rubbed his temples.

This is a truth he only understood after advancing to the level of a single universe.

To help everyone understand their true strength in the Marvel Universe and avoid being overly ambitious, Hanlu specially asked Lukuergos to give everyone a popular science lesson on the power levels in the Marvel Universe.

Celestial Father level. Generally refers to a god-king in a pantheon of a certain universe. Their power ranges from destroying a city to blowing up a star.

Single-universe level. Generally, it is a crucial support for a certain universe, or an embodiment of a certain concept. Its power range is capable of destroying a universe.

Multiverse level. At this level, the concept of "individual" no longer exists.

They have long been unified, all things returning to one. Perhaps there is one main body, or perhaps there are countless incarnations.

But without a doubt, the power of beings at this level is renowned throughout the entire infinite multiverse.

Their mere existence would cause changes and even collapses in countless multiverses.

As for the super-massive cosmic level and the omnipotent cosmic level, they were only briefly mentioned that day.

Currently, only annihilation has reached the coveted super-universe level.

And the omnipotent cosmic level—that's an existence that only the great Living Tribunal can control.

We are too far away from them.

No need to think about it for now.

That science lesson made Bob, who originally thought he was already very strong, put away his arrogance a little.

After all, since he became a single universe, whether he was fighting the Black Emperor Naruto or Galactus, he never seemed to have a crushing victory – it was always an awkward situation.

He was not as omnipotent as he imagined.

And the same is true now.

Facing death.

Unless you're prepared to go to war with her, it's impossible to snatch her away from you using unconventional methods.

Silence spread through the room.

"actually……"

A voice suddenly rang out, muffled and tinged with the smell of pizza.

Everyone turned to look.

Scott Lang from the zombie universe—the Ant-Man who's still eating pizza—

He took out a few small reagent bottles from his pocket and gently placed them on the table.

"If you still want to travel through the universe, I have Pym particles here," he mumbled through a mouthful of pizza. "Would you like them?"

The reagent bottles gleamed with a faint blue light under the lamp.

This thing has long been standard equipment for almost everyone in the base.

However, people are generally not used to reacting to changes in size, so it's not commonly used.

More often, they are used as small tools for moving things when moving house.

But for the three people who traveled from another universe—

Ant-Man Scott Lang's eyes widened.

Captain America Steve Rogers was stunned.

Iron Man Tony Stark's mouth dropped open.

They stared at the tubes of Pym Particles on the table, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This..." Tony swallowed hard. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, right." Ant-Man from the zombie universe shrugged and took another bite of pizza. "Anyway, we have plenty here. Take what you need."

Steve took a deep breath, stepped forward, and looked at the other person solemnly.

Thank you so much.

"No need." Ant-Man from the zombie universe waved his hand, grinned, revealing teeth covered in cheese, "It's nothing."
