NOVEL NEXT 112. Reality Invasion.
It makes sense.
Everything makes sense now!
Why would that indescribable larva parasitize this timeline but not directly destroy and consume this parallel universe? The answer is now very clear: because that thing's target is not this universe at all. What it truly wants to corrupt is the main world of the Marvel Universe!
Unlike other multiverses, the newly altered 616 universe and its parallel branches are closely connected. The reality barriers between these two worlds are very fragile. Even a slight mistake can lead to beings from parallel universes crossing into the main universe. It is precisely because of this fragile barrier that this horror from the infinite darkness was drawn here.
The larva doesn't have the ability to directly corrupt the main universe, nor can it even approach it. Therefore, it has adopted a new approach: targeting the parallel universes adjacent to the main universe.
Soon, it targeted a timeline from before the Civil War 2 period. Through projections in the spiritual world, it spread unparalleled cognitive pollution. Under this distorted thinking, the more intelligent a person, the more susceptible they are to contamination. And its purpose in contaminating this universe is obviously not just to destroy it. It aims to achieve much more, such as influencing the main world through cognitive pollution.
The archives collected by Miss Minutes fully document the distinction between dimensional invasion and reality invasion. Dimensional invasion refers to battles between different dimensions. When one side fails, its dimension will be consumed by the stronger one, thus starting dimensional wars. But reality invasion is different. It can be described as a battle without smoke of gunpowder. Simply put, reality invasion is overlaying a new reality over the existing one to replace "reality."
Imagine what would happen to the main universe when this "Superhero End" reality is overlaid on top of it. This is not a contest of combat power, nor a clash of strategies and wisdom. This is a war that is unspeakable, unprovable, and unmanageable.
No one will detect the enemy's trace, nor can anyone participate in the war because the war has already ended behind another reality curtain. Who can extinguish the war outside of reality?
When a person who hasn't died is believed by everyone, including himself, to be dead, what will become of him? Will he still remember how to breathe?
And as this reality invasion gradually expands and its influence solidifies, eventually leading to irreparable damage, the Marvel Universe may well enter a state of inexistence.
Regarding this event, the system's archives only briefly mention it, without detailed records. Perhaps because the previous generation of users only heard about it and did not experience it firsthand, or perhaps because the system's archives have been damaged, thus not fully preserving the records. But regardless, this has sparked new inspiration in Alex's mind.
Perhaps the larva's target from the beginning was the Marvel main universe. That's why it reached out to its adjacent parallel universes. Although the true extent of the larva's power remains unknown, based on current intelligence, it is undoubtedly a being surpassing the level of multiverses. It's like a virus within the multiverse, constantly infecting and plaguing various multiverses. Its corruption covers reality, distorts consciousness, alters cognition, and causes terrifying effects on the timelines of the current universe.
At the same time, its origin is also extremely mysterious. According to Alex's speculation, it may have originated from the "Higher Narrators" or from the "Dark Multiverse" corresponding to the Bright Multiverse. But regardless of where it came from, its threat is extremely terrifying. Therefore, it must not be allowed to affect other worlds. And it must not corrupt the main universe!
Thinking of this, Alex closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.
An invisible and immense pressure enveloped Alex. He had not expected that he had just saved a universe on the brink of destruction, only to immediately have to save another universe, and one concerning the terrifying events of the multiverse crisis.
Under the influence of the larva, this parallel universe had obviously reached a state of isolation and helplessness. It took advantage of the moments when many dimensions and the real world shifted, affecting an entire timeline, causing those dimensions to all disappear beyond the world.
If the real world and multiple dimensions are like a row of flying geese, then the real world at this moment is like the one shot down by the hunter. It will sink into endless darkness, deviate from its originally defined trajectory, and then collide directly with Marvel's 616 main universe—
Becoming the source of all destruction!
And this is also why the gods cut off their connection to reality, and Mephisto's contract could not be maintained, because those dimensions could no longer communicate with the real world. In the end—
"There are no reinforcements." The Moonlight Knight sighed. "This battle can only rely on ourselves. If we win, no one will know how much we have paid. If we lose, many universes will be affected."
"What's wrong, are you afraid?" Alex smiled.
At this, the Moonlight Knight smiled bitterly and shook his head. "How could I be afraid? I am already a dead man. I just want to know, since you already know the enemy's purpose, why do you still let Kara slaughter those super criminals? They should also be able to help in this war, right?"
Alex took a sip of tea, his gaze absent-mindedly staring at Kara's figure on the television. At this moment on the TV screen, Kara was floating in mid-air, staring at the body of the Maestro.
After a pause, Alex spoke. "The opponent can alter cognition and modify reality, but there is one thing it cannot control, and that is logic. I confirmed this in Carolina's spiritual world earlier. That thing's realm is too high, obviously unable to understand the 'ant' level logic of human thinking.
But there's no way around it; the world is formed by the logic of intelligent beings. In a deep mountain forest, when a tree falls, does it make a sound? It does, but since no one hears it, there is no way to prove it made a sound. Therefore, if a tree falls and no one hears it, it did not make a sound.
Since it wants to overlay a reality where Deadpool brainwashed all the super villains into slaughtering all the superheroes, and then killed all the antagonists for revenge to weaken the defenses of the main world.
Okay, I'll let Kara, a Kryptonian who doesn't even exist in the main universe, do all of this. I want to see how it plans to justify this!"
