Chapter 617 Erase traces
From Petra's narration, Zhang Yi already had a general idea of the development of this universe.
Just like his original guess, the world in this timeline branch is also in an extremely unstable development thread.
Although it is not yet certain how this place evolved into what it is, Zhang Ye speculates that this timeline should be inextricably related to reversing the future.
In the multiverse, every choice and every decision will cause great rupture and an uncertain future. Wolverine Logan travels through time and space with the help of Phantom Cat and Rugrat. This approach will definitely have a huge impact on the future. Timelines wreak havoc.
Although judging from the explanation in the movie plot, this way of time travel is 'reasonable' and 'controllable', but just like the Flashpoint universe created by The Flash, those who play with time will eventually be played with by time.
Looking at the beings in the multiverse who are good at traveling through time, whether they are heroes or villains, they almost all have extremely tragic pasts. This method of going back to the past not only failed to make their lives better, but actually made their lives worse. Becoming more desperate.
The Flash clearly possesses great power that can change the world, but he still cannot escape the fate of being sacrificed to heaven. Reverse Flash is even worse. From one generation to five generations, he has been reincarnated in pain and torture.
As for the X-Men, even though they have changed history many times, they still cannot correct the relationship between mutants and humans.
Logan went back to the past to rewrite history, which directly caused a huge shock reaction in the main timeline, and what emerged from this were branch timelines that emerged due to various 'possibilities'.
These timelines are extremely unstable, and because there is not enough energy to support them, the lifespan of these timeline branches is extremely short, often lasting less than a century before completely dissipating.
In such a universe, no matter what happens, it is not surprising. Let alone mutants being transformed into sentinel robots, even if Apocalypse succeeds in seizing Professor X and killing all mankind, it is very possible.
At the same time, Zhang Yi also discovered that in this timeline, there are no heroes from the Avengers. Neither Hydra nor S.H.I.E.L.D. exist here.
In other words, this world is the complete X-Men timeline.
Petra, who was in deep sorrow, calmed down a little after taking a few deep breaths.
Looking up at Zhang Yi who was still deep in thought, Petra couldn't help but speak.
"Sir, although I don't know your identity or your origins, I hope you can help us. As long as you are willing to help, I will do anything."
"help you?"
Zhang Yi moved his eyes. He knew very well what his goal was. Just as Miss Time said, this timeline is destined to be destroyed. Even if he changes history, the final development may not be any better. go.
This can be seen from the situation of the Flashpoint One universe. It has obviously passed the crisis of annihilation, but in the end it still cannot escape the catastrophe of Darkseid.
Salvation is only temporary. Even if you save the world, this timeline still cannot escape the fate of destruction. This is doomed from the birth of this branch of the timeline.
"You know the professor's name, you must know the professor, right." Petra forced herself to stand up. "Help us, with your power, you will be able to stop this."
Although I don't know how strong Zhang Yi is, it can be seen from the fact that he blocked the detection system of the Sentinel robots and eliminated three Sentinel robots without any damage. His combat effectiveness is stronger than that of most of the X-Men.
And Petra didn't know what happened during her 'coma', but she could clearly see the completely distorted aircraft carrier around her.
Petra had only seen this terrifying power of rewriting reality from one person, and that person had spread his wings and disappeared into the vast universe a few years ago.
Listening to Petra's words, Zhang Yi did not answer immediately. He was thinking about pollution at the moment.
From the very beginning when Zhang Yi decided to come to this universe, he was already prepared to face the source of pollution.
If there are any worlds that have been annihilated or erased due to high-latitude pollution, then the X-Men series is definitely one of them. From X-Men 1 to the final Dark Phoenix, every plot is full of undeniable bugs.
Although there are several movies in the movie universe that exist under the same timeline, from the actual look and feel in Zhang Yi's memory, every movie in the X-Men series seems to be a parallel universe.
Most of the plot remains connected, but some details are completely missing. This has to make Zhang Yi wary of the pervasive high-dimensional pollution.
"That's all, let's start checking from this timeline."
Now that it has been determined that this timeline is about to be destroyed by pollution, Zhang Yi does not intend to sit idly by. Perhaps he can investigate clues related to the high-dimensional world through this universe.
After all, the power that suddenly appeared to prevent him from resurrecting Petra was essentially related to pollution. However, Zhang Yi had always been curious about the true identity of the guy who was 'talking' to him.
It was not once or twice that he was exposed to pollution. Zhang Yi had never encountered such a thing before.
Can pollution also have free sanity?
And, what do those words actually mean?
What is the certain reality, what is the only way, what is the meaning of this sentence, and what is the standpoint of the unknown being who said these words.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi slowly stretched out his hand.
"My name is Zhang Yi, codename is Wu Crow."
Seeing Zhang Yi's actions, Petra quickly stretched out one hand to shake Zhang Yi's hand, while the other hand grabbed her clothes to block her body.
"Petra, I have just joined the X-Men not long ago and I don't have my own professional title yet. Thank you, Mr. Zhang Yi. I thank you on behalf of all my fellow mutants."
"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet."
Before Petra could finish speaking, Zhang Yi raised his hand to interrupt her.
"I also have my own purpose and want my help. I need you to tell me everything you know. In addition, I need to know the specific situation of this world."
Hearing this, Petra also calmed down from her excitement when she learned that Zhang Yi wanted to help her.
"Don't worry, no matter what it is, as long as I know it, I will tell you everything. I just ask you to save the professor and my compatriots."
"about this."
Zhang Yi did not start asking questions directly. He looked around and knew that this was not a good place to talk about this.
Three sentinel robots lost contact with the entire aircraft carrier fleet, and all combatants were missing. It is impossible for the military not to know about this. If they stay here for too long, I am afraid it will be very troublesome next.
With a slight snap of her fingers, Petra felt her body tighten, and then a corset appeared on her body, wrapping her naked body.
This is an agent uniform from S.H.I.E.L.D. It is not exclusive to Black Widow, but is the standard uniform for most female agents. Bionic Bird and Shockwave have both worn this uniform.
After taking back his windbreaker from Petra's hand, Zhang Yi spoke. "I don't know about sizes, so you can make do with it first. This is not the place to talk. I need to know where on Earth is safe."
Startled by Zhang Yi's hand, Petra looked at the clothes on her body in surprise. She was shocked that she had never heard of such an ability to transform matter instantly, but she was delighted that with such a powerful ability, They can definitely turn defeat into victory.
After loosening the zipper on her chest, Petra responded immediately after hearing Zhang Yi's question.
"China."
Finally, she added.
"As far as I know, China is the only safe place in the world, and the only place where mutants still have a chance to survive."
"Huaxia?" Zhang Yi was shocked and couldn't help but straighten his waist to stand up straighter.
"Yes."
Although this should be good news, for some reason, Petra's face didn't look good when she talked about it.
"The vast majority of my compatriots did not make it there alive. Sentinel robots have defended themselves in various sea areas and borders. Only a handful of my compatriots have the ability to go to China alive."
It turns out there is such a relationship, but think about it, it is separated by the North Pacific. As the largest sea area in the world, it is really difficult to cross here.
In addition, the combat effectiveness of mutants in this timeline is relatively wide. Except for a few exceptions, other mutants basically do not have strong combat capabilities. Therefore, if you want to escape to Asia while being chased and intercepted by the Sentinel robots, it is basically impossible. impossible things.
But this is not a difficulty for Zhang Yi. As long as he is sure that there is a safe place in this world, the next thing will be easier to handle.
He raised his hand and waved it in the air. The next moment, a golden portal burst out from the void and expanded rapidly.
Looking at this portal and the environment on the other side of the portal, Petra didn't know how many times she was shocked.
"Don't stand there stupidly, come over quickly." Seeing that Petra didn't move for a long time, Zhang Yi couldn't help but remind her.
With a cry of "Oh", Petra quickly stepped through the portal composed of golden firelight.
After she felt the strange and peaceful bamboo forest environment around her, Petra's tense heart relaxed a little.
Looking back at the other side of the portal, Petra asked curiously when she saw Zhang Yi holding the spell and muttering something. "What are you doing?"
There was no answer, Zhang Yi just finished reciting the last spell silently.
Afterwards, Zhang Yi opened his eyes again and answered casually.
"It's better not to let others discover what's going on here, so I'm going to eliminate the traces here."
"Eliminate the traces here? How to eliminate them? This is a large-scale voyage."
Midway through speaking, Petra's expression changed instantly.
Through the portal, I saw a beautiful meteor streaking across the sky, and as time went by, the light of the meteor became bigger and bigger.
