Chapter 4025 MU: The Superbody Incident (105)

“I’m sorry, I have to go back immediately,” Strange said to the group. “A very dangerous Daedric is rapidly approaching Earth. As the Sorcerer Supreme, I must return to provide support immediately, and the Archmages must come with me.”

No one objected to this; after all, they couldn't ask someone to abandon their homeland just to fight this war. But Stark gave Steve a wink, and Steve nodded, stood up, and said, "This must be Batman's strategy, to surround us and weaken our forces as much as possible. We mustn't panic now; we need to rearrange our defenses. Captain Americas and the Winter Soldier, come with me. Captain America will relay the latest defensive arrangements to the Avengers in each universe."

Captain America and the Winter Soldier all stood up and left their seats. Natasha then stood up as well and said, "Agent Romanov, come with me. Since it involves the three great empires and the Interstellar Council, we may need to conduct some social engineering work within intelligent life societies. Please come with me immediately."

The Black Widows left without saying anything, in a very orderly fashion. Then Stark stood up and said, "With our defenses weakened, our combat-capable researchers must also shoulder some of the defensive responsibilities. Iron Man, Hulk, Ant-Man, Doctor Doom, and the Fantastic Four, come with me. We need to clarify our roles and decide on the personnel to go into battle as soon as possible."

This involved a large number of people. Iron Man stood up sparsely, some clearly unwilling, but most were quite rational and knew that this was no joke, so they eventually left.

Dr. Banner and Dr. Pym were relatively cooperative and followed Stark. Most of the Fantastic Four also followed, except for Doctor Doom—Doom of the Central Universe—who stood up and said, “Doom believes that only Doom understands Doctor Doom’s situation better. Moreover, most of us can conduct magical research, while other researchers cannot. Therefore, Doom believes that Doctor Doom’s team should have a certain degree of autonomy, and Doom and his team should manage the personnel themselves.”

"Go tell the central command." Stark left without looking back, leading the others away.

Doom communicated with Professor X in silence, and after a while, he seemed to have received permission, and Doctor Doom and the others followed him.

“Alright, Hawkeyes, follow me.” Barton from the central universe stood up and waved his hand. “We’re not really suited for space operations. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll probably be sent to Earth for defense. Just follow Director Fury’s orders.”

The Hawkeyes didn't object. They knew that marksmen like them were at a disadvantage in space. Aside from the fact that they were basically just stronger ordinary people, the chaotic energy currents during combat made it extremely difficult to aim accurately. They were better suited for surface warfare.

Then there were various heroes such as Falcon, Quake, and Wasp, most of whom were organized by Coulson and sent to the conference room to await the defensive work arranged by the command center.

Many Black Panthers from Wakanda also came, and they were the last to leave because many Black Panthers were very worried about the situation in Wakanda in this universe.

Unlike other superheroes, the Black Panthers consider Wakanda in the multiverse to be a single country, because Wakanda is a tribal society where each tribe has a chief, and together they form the nation of Wakanda.

In the multiverse, different Wakandas are like different tribes. They use the same name, so they are naturally the same country. Therefore, the Black Panthers first formed a very complete council system, with the Black Panther from the central universe serving as the Great Chief, those from the main universe and another universe serving as Equal Chiefs, and the others as Ordinary Chiefs. Matters are handled according to the tribal council procedures.

Unlike other superheroes who are more concerned about their own Earth, all Black Panthers are also worried about Wakanda in this universe. Upon hearing that danger is approaching, they all want to rush back to Earth immediately to provide support.

“Don’t worry,” T’Challa explained to them. “Our universe’s magical defense network is very robust, and no Daedric Prince could directly invade Earth. Besides, the Beholder has already violated the Sanctum Sanctorum’s galactic regulations to a great extent, and in addition to humans, other members of the Sanctum Sanctorum will also take action against him.”

“That’s not what we’re worried about,” Black Panther from the main universe said. “The previous Sorcerer Supreme died at the hands of this Beholder. We heard that you wanted to bring back the Ancient One, and we’re worried that this might cause him to suffer a calamity.”

T'Challa immediately frowned; he hadn't considered this. Despite Wakanda's advanced technology, Black Panther wasn't actually a tech hero; he was also involved in metaphysics. Because of the existence of African pantheons, African tribes had a strong tradition of witchcraft, with many customs and beliefs, one of which was "predestined fate"—in Eastern terms, "destiny."

To explain it more specifically: when a person will die is predetermined. Even if they know in advance how they will die and try to avoid it by various means, they will still find it difficult to escape their fate. On the contrary, the more they resist, the faster they will die.

In most universes, the Ancient One died at the hands of the Beholder. This time, the Beholder is coming, and the Ancient One is being called back. Could this be some kind of destined calamity?

Thinking about this, T'Challa also became a little uneasy. He quickly called Strange and told him his speculation. Don't be fooled by how far-fetched this sounds; it's indeed the logic of the magical world—otherwise, why would the Ancient One be summoned back at this exact moment, and why, of all the Daedric Princes, did the Beholder arrive?

Although the Ancient One in this universe is so powerful that no one knows the extent of her strength, fate is a mysterious thing, and it's better to believe in it than not.

Before Strange could even contact the Ancient One to discuss countermeasures, Ghost Rider rushed over and told Strange, "Mephisto just sent me a message saying that his son Blackheart has escaped and that we should be on guard."

“Damn it,” Strange cursed mercilessly, “Batman must have found him. This guy doesn’t want to offend Batman, and he doesn’t want to offend us either. He’s trying to have his cake and eat it too. What a bastard!”

“It’s alright, he can’t get into the magic defense network. But it’s not good to let him cause trouble in the solar system. My brother and I will figure out how to deal with him, so you don’t need to worry too much,” Ghost Rider Johnny said.

“Okay, thank you.” Strange nodded.

Suddenly, his phone rang again. He answered and said, "Dormamun is acting strangely too? What did he say?... Okay, he's smart. But don't trust him too much. We should still send someone to keep an eye on him."

Strange breathed a slight sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. Dormammu had been sleeping most of the time lately, and he wondered who Batman had sent to wake him up. However, Dormammu had no interest in getting involved and simply turned over and went back to sleep.

As for Cytorak, the Lord of the Crimson Dimension, and the Great Shadow of Sithon, they were all harassed by Batman. However, they either weren't interested or knew they couldn't win, so they basically didn't participate.

However, there was one somewhat unexpected entity that was causing trouble: the serpent god Set. This guy was an ancient god of Earth, possessing a serpent god's crown, and had even made a contract with Lady Hydra. However, after making that brief appearance, he never showed up again, seemingly still harboring wicked intentions.

But more than that, Strange was curious about who Batman had sent to wake up so many demons—after all, sometimes even the Archmage couldn't contact the masters of those inert dimensions. For Batman's messenger to be able to contact so many demons in such a short time, wasn't this someone a chosen one of the Sanctum Sanctorum?

After some investigation—mainly because that spineless Sithon confessed everything in one go—Strange learned that it was none other than the special Flash, Barry Allen, who had left behind countless spatial traps on the battlefield that day.

To distinguish this Flash from the others, Strange gave him the codename "Killer Flash." He then learned from other demons that this person used a very peculiar ability to cut through space, directly breaking through the dimensions of many demons to jump into their faces and kick them awake.

Most demons are invincible within their own dimensions, controlling both space and time, making it impossible for the Speedster to act so arrogantly. However, this lightning assassin possesses another peculiar ability: a primordial dark power they have never seen before. The demons claim that this power is extremely corrupting, causing a certain degree of erosion to their dimensions, so even though he roams freely within dimensions, no one is willing to capture him.

Whether the Lightning Assassin was simply too powerful, or whether the demons were exaggerating to evade the Sorcerer Supreme's accountability, Strange didn't know. But he knew that the Lightning Assassin would definitely be one of Batman's trump cards.

For the Sanctum Sanctorum, tonight was a night of chaos and turmoil, leaving Strange in a state of utter disarray. Looking at the readings on the magical defense network, he finally dialed the UN Security Council.

"Hello, I am the Supreme Master. After deliberation by my department, we believe it is best that we do not confront the Eye Demon directly. Instead, we should avoid its sharp edge and move the Earth to a safer place."

After hanging up the phone, Strange put his hands on the table, gritted his teeth, and said, "No wonder he's Batman, he's brought up security vulnerabilities from all over the universe."

In the command center on Apokolips, the main universe's Batman nodded to Barry and said, "Well done. I didn't expect you to be able to contact such a powerful demon."

"I only thought of going to find him because I heard from others that the monster with only one eyeball killed the Sorcerer Supreme. However, he doesn't seem to have any sense of reason, and it took me a lot of effort to lure him there."

The Batman from the main universe turned back to look at the star map and said, "The advanced level of development on Earth in this universe is both a bad thing and a good thing for us. Although they have more technological resources at their disposal, they also need to protect a larger area of ​​their homeland. Earth's magical defense network alone is far from enough. If they don't want the solar system to suffer losses, they have to find a way to keep the enemy outside the solar system."

“Asgard probably can’t help,” Barry said, arms crossed. “Although the three great empires didn’t send troops together, just two of them are still a significant threat. Their energy will be tied up there, so they can’t help Earth much.”

"With Mephisto and Seto joining the fray, and Thanos's threat looming, the mages may not be able to protect the entire solar system. To ensure the solar system is not destroyed to the greatest extent possible, their request for help from the Asgardian base will be the perfect opportunity for us to act."

The main universe's Batman stared at a point on the star map and slowly said. Barry said with some emotion, "I thought this universe was pretty safe, but I didn't expect you to find so many security loopholes in such a remote corner. You've cleared the mines for them in advance."

“That’s the significance of this battle,” the main universe Batman said, lowering his eyes as if he had thought of something. “Otherwise, why would that shrewd guy choose his own home as the battlefield?”

"Oh no, Batman!" Superman from the main universe suddenly flew in through the window and said to Batman from the main universe, "Earth has run away!"

"……what?"

"Earth! This Earth in the universe! You told me to go and keep an eye on it, and I saw a flash of light, then Earth just vanished with a 'whoosh'!!!"

"...?"
