Chapter 610 Unknown Danger
TRN, strictly speaking, is not an official multiverse number at all.
Because there are too many multiverses, and the vitality of many multiverses is relatively fragile and can easily self-destruct, so except for a very few universes that are numbered, the rest of the universes are not numbered.
Unnumbered universes like this are basically in their infancy. They are equivalent to branches on the main timeline, branching out one by one. Each branch represents a 'possible' or 'modified' reality. .
Most of these realities are artificially created, and there are only two results from their birth. They can either cover the main timeline and become the only established history, or they can self-destruct and be turned into nutrients and supplied to the main timeline.
In a sense, this can be regarded as ‘turning into spring mud to protect flowers’.
This nascent auxiliary timeline is generally not officially named and defined, so in order to better distinguish it, the Marvel Wiki spontaneously labeled these timelines as 'TRN'.
It is also commonly known as - a temporarily defined multiverse number under the possibility of covering history and destruction.
In Zhang Yi's impression, these temporary numbers basically come from the multiple branch timelines caused by the heroes' modification of history.
The most representative one is the X-Men movie series, from X-Men 123 to later Wolverine, Days of Future Past, etc., and even official game plots, all of which are created in the main timeline. had a huge impact.
Among them, the timeline of X-Men Days of Future Past has completely changed the history of the main timeline, making this new timeline directly cover the original timeline and becoming the place where many subsequent stories take place.
But don’t think that this main timeline only has this branch. The ‘gifted universe’ where Polaris is located and the ‘large group of universes’ where Professor X’s son is located are all branches of the main timeline.
Unlike Deadpool and Wolverine 3, which have their own unique numbered universes, these fragile universes are at risk of destruction at any time, and there are even more timelines that have perished without anyone noticing.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi also understood the meaning of the observer's words. "So the universe you found is in a state of being replaced by other timelines, right?"
"That's not accurate. ""
The observer shook his head slightly and murmured plainly.
""In fact, the main timeline of that world is about to reach its end. As it falls into destruction, the surrounding timeline branches begin to compete for nutrients, and a multiverse melee is about to begin. ""
"Are you going to stop the melee in the multiverse?" At this point, Zhang Yi suddenly slapped his forehead. "Oh, I forgot you had an internal problem."
The observer spoke up.
""Even if there is no problem, this is not something we need to manage. Although it is a multiverse, it is just a melee of several timelines and does not threaten other worlds. ""
There are more than tens of thousands of multiverses observed by observers. Although the impact of this timeline melee is strong, it can only be regarded as a single timeline, not to mention that it is still in a state of collapse.
In this case, it is naturally impossible for observers to intervene. As long as they deal with themselves and do not affect other main timelines, there is no need to meddle.
"Is that so?" Zhang Ye nodded thoughtfully.
Paying attention to the changes in Zhang Yi's expression, the observers couldn't help but ask. ""Aren't you planning to run over and have a look in person? ""
"What do you think?" Zhang Yi asked in a funny tone. "Didn't we already make a plan? There must be clues related to pollution in those universes. I have to go."
""That's what I said""
The observer sighed sadly, then raised his head and said.
""But I must remind you that those timelines are not as simple as you think. No one can be sure of the situation inside a timeline that is in a collapsed state. If you are not careful, unexpected dangers may arise. ""
"As you said, when have I encountered easy situations along the way?" Zhang Yi said that he was almost used to it.
From the beginning of time travel, all the universes he encountered were in a state of collapse. He finally found the main Marvel movie universe, but Loki refused to let him get close. How could he reason with him?
But when the observer heard this, he frowned slightly and said seriously.
""The danger I am referring to is not just this. ""
"What do you mean?" After hearing this, Zhang Yi stopped smiling and looked at the observer's big head seriously.
The observer did not answer, but nodded slightly. He knew that Zhang Yi had understood what he meant, and paused before continuing.
"Although we are unable to locate those dark observers now, we have reason to believe that those betrayers are basically hiding in various timelines that are about to be destroyed. If you are still determined to find those collapsed universes, you are likely to Encounter with them. ""
"Dark. Observer?"
Zhang Yi frowned, his expression a little solemn.
He had fought against Darkseid before, and had faced Trigon and Galactus, but he had never experienced fighting against the Observer.
Even though he has met the two observers now, their relationship is pretty good, and they have not talked about tit-for-tat. Without actual combat, Zhang Yi is still quite nervous.
"Of course, that's just a possibility. There are so many multiverses, and it's not certain whether you can encounter them. Don't be too stressed. ""
Seemingly noticing that Zhang Yi's expression was a little bad, the observer quickly spoke to comfort him.
But Zhang Yi didn't take the observer's comfort too seriously. It was a blessing, not a curse, but it was a curse that could not be avoided. It was better to be mentally prepared in advance than to be caught off guard.
After a pause, Zhang Yi asked in a deep voice. "This time, you don't need to use the universe as a springboard anymore, right?"
"No, I can use my own power to help you open a channel to connect the multiverse, but I can't guarantee where you will go. After all, there are several timelines intersecting. ""
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about this."
Zhang Ye also understood that if several timelines were intertwined like twine, then this kind of long-distance teleportation would indeed be unstable.
But this is nothing to him. As long as he successfully gets there, with the help of Miss Time, he will definitely be able to open the barrier of the timeline.
However, looking at the current state of the observers, Zhang Yi was a little worried. "In your current state, can you support such a strong force to send me there?"
""Don't underestimate the observers. ""
The observer stood up suddenly, puffed out his chest, and looked determined.
""Although I was injured, I can still handle such a small thing as traveling through the multiverse. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get to you so quickly, right? ""
"You just have first-class escape skills." Zhang Yi rolled his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, the observer was immediately choked up. He stared at Zhang Yi with a pair of big lightbulb eyes and said nothing for a long time.
With a heavy sigh, the observer didn't bother to dwell on this topic, and he spoke slowly.
""Again, you must be careful. In a timeline that is in a state of collapse, the lives in it are extremely crazy. You must not trust anyone. ""
"Don't worry, I've learned this a long time ago."
When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately thought of the inhuman things in the ruined universe and the wasteland universe. He shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
"It doesn't matter if you're crazy, as long as you can communicate. An extremely crazy guy like this can also be a useful chess piece in a sense."
"Don't think too simply of them. Chess pieces can sometimes backfire on chess players, not to mention those timelines where combat effectiveness has collapsed. They won't give you a chance to communicate. ""
"Don't give me a chance to communicate."
Zhang Yi sighed quietly and spread his hands.
".That's okay. If you can't communicate, I know a little bit about boxing."
After staring at Zhang Yi for a long time, the observer shook his head helplessly. ""Anyway, I still hope you will be careful, especially when facing those guys hiding in the shadows.
Remember, don’t trust anyone. What I mean is any life, including observers. After leaving the wasteland, any existence you encounter may be your enemy. ""
Seeing the serious face of the observer, Zhang Yi also knew how bad the current situation was. "I know, you should be careful. If you are so seriously injured, don't let other guys take out your eyeballs.
I think you should stay in the Mystery House during this time. Reed Richards and Susan will take good care of you. At least you have to heal your injuries first. "
After hearing this, the observer thought for a moment and did not refuse Zhang Yi's kindness.
""Well, the wasteland universe is in a state of magical recovery. With my eyes, I can help them some, at least it is much more efficient than that 'Franklin Radar'. ""
"Well, you saw it." Zhang Yi rubbed his eyebrows and smiled.
""Didn't you see it? As soon as I came in, I saw you tying the newly born multiverse god to a chair."" As soon as he said this, the observer became excited and muttered something in a low voice.
"Come on, I can rest assured now that you are keeping an eye on me."
Zhang Yi stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his body with both hands, and said easily.
"Without further ado, send me there."
""Now? ""
The observer was stunned for a moment and seemed to have no reaction.
"Don't you need to be more prepared? The dangers you will encounter on this trip are all unknown. I'm afraid it won't be that easy." ""
"It's just because it's unknown, so no matter how much preparation you make, it's in vain. It's better to adapt to the situation after going there."
Zhang Yi raised the corner of his mouth and said.
"Hurry up and do it, otherwise the universes will really be destroyed if you get there too late."
