The Death Knell

Searching the ruins of New York yielded nothing but some weird insects and aggressive beasts.

I don’t know how long it has been since the disaster broke out. Many things here have been completely weathered into dust, leaving only the ruins of civilization, making a whimpering sound like crying in the strong wind.

Fortunately, the temperature inside the ruins was slightly lower, and the two of them were almost dried out in just a few minutes under the sun.

"The earth is no longer suitable for human survival. Even if the war does not kill them, the climate will kill them." Zheng Xian pulled up his tie and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Su Ming sat on the floor and nodded slightly: "This means that the outbreak of nuclear war was not far from our original time point. At least humans did not find a way to deal with nuclear winter. After that, the earth became a wasteland."

Zheng Xian was silent for a moment: "Brother, can't you use the Eye of Agamotto? Maybe you can see what we should do now?"

"Everything has a price. Before the price must be paid, there is no point in using it to reverse our time. This is an independent point in time. Don't forget how we got here. My ability to reverse time requires A continuous timeline, and we skipped at least a few hundred years in between, so using the gems would only take us back to the moment we arrived here.”

Zheng Xian sat helplessly beside him, beating his shoulders: "Okay, then what should we do next? Your so-called base has now become a big pit, and obviously nothing is left."

The two people were currently on the edge of the pit. There was half a broken building that had not fallen down, but it was very weathered and looked crumbling.

As for the calculated location of Wilson Enterprise, there was only a huge crater at this time, where at least a nuclear bomb with the equivalent of tens of millions of tons of TNT exploded here.

The two sat side by side on the edge of the pit, hidden in the shadows cast by the ruins of the buildings.

"Don't just let me figure it out. Take it out and see what back-up you have hidden." Su Ming took out the wine from his backpack and handed it to Zheng Xian. This is a specialty brought from Azeroth.

Zheng Xian shook his head, his smile gradually turned bitter, and he held up the bottle and took a big sip.

"I do have arrangements. If civilization is destroyed, Tianhuan Base is prepared to have everything needed to restart civilization, including gene banks, seed banks, technological knowledge and various materials. Basically, the Holy Spear Guild has made preparations for everything you can think of. The purpose is that even if there are only a few people left on the earth, a nation can be redeveloped through artificial insemination through gene banks.”

"I understand."

Su Ming patted him on the shoulder and realized that when he was flying in the universe just now, the earth he saw was completely a reddish-brown sphere without any trace of civilization.

After all, even if an underground bunker is built, the people inside should come out to develop after the nuclear winter passes.

But now, there is nothing, Zheng Xian's plan failed.

At this moment, a golden wormhole suddenly appeared next to the two of them, and a familiar figure walked out of it. She was wearing a white robe, spotless, and her face was covered by a hood.

"Master Ancient One?"

The visitor gently took off his hood and showed a smiling face: "It's me, Slade. This is the real doomsday. You should need some help. Let me explain first that I come from a time before you succeeded to the throne. , when I looked at the possibilities for the future and saw the magic floating cloak, I knew you were here."

Gu Yi could not see him in the timeline originally, but when she graciously handed the magic floating cloak to Su Ming, it was like making a mark.

No wonder she insisted on throwing the burden of the Supreme Mage to herself. She used this method to examine all futures.

Ginger is still spicy when old, which is really yin.

Even if he knew the problem now, could he still abandon the cloak? He took over as the Supreme Mage, and it was too late.

"This is the end of time." Su Ming stood up and nodded. He probably understood.

"Yes." Gu Yi replied calmly with a faint smile.

Su Ming pondered for a moment, his brain working rapidly: "Our time is divided?"

Ancient One nodded happily. She knew that her choice in the future was the right one. Slade had a good understanding: "That's right."

"Can the alien species of gods do this?"

Su Ming sighed. This happened so suddenly that he had almost no preparation.

"You are special, have you forgotten? Your metal and the energy of the gods resonated. It was the collision of the origin of the universe that split your time, and the gems allowed you to enter here."

"Time you mean"

Ancient Yi put his hands on his back and looked at the huge crater in the distance: "We all know that the trend of time is generally forward, but like a big river, there will always be branches. Some branches are thicker and they flow more slowly. Far away. And some branches have dried up halfway."

"Is this one of millions of possibilities?" Zheng Xian saluted Gu Yi and hurriedly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Is this one of millions of possibilities?"

Zheng Xian looked at the big cat in front of him and asked in disbelief.

It always feels a little strange for a black panther to speak in human language and with a standard imperial accent.

He and Deathstroke did not find vibranium. The mines underground in Wakanda had been completely mined, leaving only rusted machinery covered with various mushrooms.

Since they couldn't find any more benefits, the two chose a safe place to drink the juice of the heart-shaped grass. Then they came to a place that seemed like a dream and saw the huge leopard god.

According to it, Zheng Xian and Deathstroke are indeed the only two human beings on the earth. This is a wrong timeline. Humanity perished due to a biochemical crisis caused by a cosmic virus. The cause of the biochemical crisis was a seemingly domestic animal. Cat space monster.

The Leopard God was lying on a huge tree, its tail curled and stretched out, licking its paws.

"After listening to your stories, I have probably guessed something. Yes, this is just one possibility. It can be regarded as a parallel world that has not yet been born. If you can go back, remember to try your best to avoid this cycle. occur."

Su Ming touched his chin. A cat-shaped monster wouldn't be such a coincidence, would it?

He rubbed his face and looked into the big green eyes of the Leopard God: "So actually, it means that Zheng Xian and I were divided into many parts and entered into all possibilities at the same time? Seeing the future ?”

The Leopard God's big head tilted, and then he nodded humanely: "It can be understood that way, but I don't know if it is right or not. I don't understand time well enough. You are the Supreme Mage, so you should tell me. "

"The problem now is that we need to reverse the process of being divided, and then jump back in time to pick up the time when we entered the body of the Celestial Alien."

Su Ming already understood. He took out his big sword and moved the x-metal light spots on it with his fingers as if playing chess.

Zheng Xian looked at him and then at the big cat on the tree. The sky here was purple, and it was a different-colored African grassland scenery. Everything was dreamlike.

"How many parts have we been divided into?"

"How many parts have we been divided into?"

In the huge space fortress located in low-Earth orbit, Su Ming sat on the throne, while Zheng Xian looked at the huge death knell statue in the hall and asked the adjutant for the answer to this question.

Su Ming felt a little awkward. Has he finally built this church with a space battleship engine?

A silver figure emerged beside him. In the cathedral, she could choose any projection position.

She raised her little hand upward, and a huge screen appeared in mid-air. It was densely filled with various calculation formulas, flowing down like a waterfall.

"According to preliminary calculations, you are probably divided into more than 2.4 million different possibilities, which may exist in all time streams." She answered very easily.

Zheng Xian slapped his forehead, and Su Ming pinched the bridge of his nose, which sounded terrible.

"Adjutant, can these possibilities be divided into three categories?"

Now the adjutant was very beautiful, and the characteristics of many of Su Ming's acquaintances were reflected in her. She nodded lightly.

"Yes, Sheriff, these current possibilities can be summarized and divided into three categories. The future will get better, stay the same, or get worse."

Su Ming and Zheng Xian looked at each other. Is this really the case? Zhang Heng of the Holy Spear Club did not leave behind the Dragon Slaying Technique, but the Holy Shield did.

What they call the future has three possibilities, which is the dragon-slaying technique specifically used to deal with gods!

Human machines are also born.

Zheng Xian couldn't accept this. Is Holy Shield the right one? Is the concept that my lineage has always held wrong?

Su Mingfei got off the throne and landed next to him: "Don't think too much, the possibilities of time are unlimited. There is nothing wrong with that. I know this very well, because outside of the omnipotent universe, not all world developments can be classified into these three categories. middle."

"But it's the Tenjin group"

"From the gods' point of view, they consider these three categories. The Holy Shield has also formulated three plans to restrain them. These are just countermeasures, not the truth of the universe."

Su Ming's firm answer also inspired Zheng Xian, and he gradually regained his composure.

As an outsider, Su Ming really thinks so. If the previous development of Marvel can be counted among the three major categories, then how will he be counted after the time traveler arrives?

Su Ming is certain that there is at least a fourth category, and this future development is probably called deviation.

Can you not go astray? After entering the interstellar fortress, everyone who saw him shouted slogans, such as 'Long Live the Emperor' and 'Forever Loyal'. This is not considered running away. Bias?

Everyone is a superhuman and superheroes have disappeared. Can this still be considered a Marvel world?

"Yes, although these possibilities can be classified into three categories, the three categories only account for 50% of the current total number of induction methods." The adjutant pointed his lips with his finger cutely, and the image walked beside the two of them with model steps. Go: "In addition to the three categories of advancement, reincarnation, and death, there are three major categories of time development, namely regression, stagnation, and chaos. This is only a preliminary conclusion. Our research on time is very limited."

"Backwards?" Zheng Xian's eyes lit up. He wanted to pat the adjutant on the shoulder and praise her, thanking her for providing inspiration, but his hand came up empty. The adjutant was not there, this was just a three-dimensional projection.

"Yes, relying on the power of science, Holy Terra has now entered its 39th millennium. Although time travel requires strict approval, it is still just a simple tourism project." The adjutant jumped on the spot with a smile, saying that Zheng Xian couldn't catch her: "If you want to go upstream and ride a dinosaur, I can help you do it; if you want to travel around the world in the Age of Discovery, I can also send you there. Only I am the strongest in the time stream. route, and I have more time and power than others.”

Zheng Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He touched his heart and looked at Su Ming: "Master Deathstroke, Lao Zheng owes you a favor. Can we sign up for a tour group?"
