American Comics: Multiverse of Madness - #509 - Chapter 506 Determination to Protect
In the end, Zhang Yi did not cover Tony Stark to death with a pillow.
In order not to disturb the drunkard’s sleep, and in order not to let the drunkard disturb themselves, Zhang Yi and Kara left the hall of the Mystery House and came to the library.
This library was originally used by Constantine to collect various magical books. Later, after the House of Mystery established a supervisor, it was transformed by Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman.
The current one displays not only magic books, but also many science-related things, and they also moved some magic books from the wasteland here.
It can be said that what is displayed in the library at this time is the most outstanding metaphysics and scientific products of the two universes. Many heroes will come here to study when they have nothing to do.
Of course, this is only for people from the Bat family. Scumbags like Pietro and Ashley will never come to this place on their own initiative.
“This is my first time here since it was rebuilt.” He walked slowly to the table, and the chair automatically pulled out for Zhang Yi to sit on.
Looking around at the retro library and the magic books floating in the air, Zhang Yi stretched with a smile. “It really feels like going to school at Hogwarts.”
Looking at Zhang Yi who was looking around curiously, Kara also smiled and shook her head.
Zhang Yi is nominally the owner of the House of Mystery, but seeing how he doesn’t understand his organization at all, who would have thought that he was the leader of the regulators.
“This library was built at the initiative of Tony Stark. He released a lot of magic barriers here to protect it.”
“I can see that the magic flow here is regular and not chaotic, and there is some abstract magic in it. It seems that Stark’s talent is really good.” Zhang Yi nodded.
From the moment he entered here, he could already observe the magic circuits here. Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but in Zhang Yi’s eyes, these magic circles are a bit too obvious.
“I don’t know if he has magic talent, but this guy is obsessed with drinking. He talks about wine every day as the ladder for mankind to pursue the truth. I really don’t know what’s so good about that thing.”
Kara held her cheeks with her hands, her expression full of incomprehension.
“Everyone gets drunk without being drunk. Understand it. After all, he lost everything. In the zombie hero universe, Tony Stark is one of the few survivors.” Zhang Yi spread his hands.
Everyone relieves stress in different ways. Perhaps for Tony Stark, drinking is the best way for him to escape reality and forget the past.
And in fact, most Tony Starks in parallel universes seem to do this.
After staring at Zhang Yi for a long time, Kara slowly spoke.
“How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?”
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Yi didn’t realize why the topic changed so quickly.
After laughing awkwardly, Zhang Yi spoke. “What you said makes it seem like I’m like a bird without legs. I’ve been busy for such a long time and can’t take a good rest.”
“Of course you can rest, but in my memory, you never seem to have a rest.” Kara’s lips curled up. “How do I know if you will disappear again without saying hello?”
“Am I just like this in your eyes?” Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I admit that I did have some important things to do before, but now that things have come to an end, I can rest for a while.”
“Really?” Kara didn’t believe it.
Apart from Pietro, Kara was one of the first companions to follow Zhang Yi. Along the way, Kara also understood how terrifying the difficulties they encountered were.
Whether it’s the invincible General Zod, the weird Deadpool, or even Trigon, Darkseid, and the Planet Devourer in the wasteland, these are all powerful beings that have the power to destroy the entire universe.
Coupled with the pervasive pollution, Kara couldn’t even imagine what those universes would have turned into if it weren’t for Zhang Yi’s existence.
Because of this, no one understands the dangers of Zhang Yi’s trip better than Kara.
On several occasions, Kara tried to persuade Zhang Yi to give up those meaningless rescues. They were just ordinary people, and even Kryptonians as powerful as her were nothing more than ants in the eyes of powerful beings.
What does the safety of other parallel universes have to do with them? Why do they work so hard to help those people? Isn’t it good for them to take care of themselves?
Kara really wanted to tell Zhang Yi that you should respect other people’s fate.
But she knew she couldn’t say that. After all, she was the one who was rescued by Zhang Yi. If Zhang Yi and Pietro hadn’t rescued her from prison, she couldn’t imagine what would have happened to her.
Maybe she will never be able to escape from prison in her lifetime, or maybe she will be killed by the furious General Zod himself, and then the Kryptonian genes in her body will be taken away.
In this case, how could Carla persuade Zhang Yi to give up.
In fact, Kara was also very torn in her heart. On the one hand, she was very worried about Zhang Yi’s safety, but on the other hand, she hoped that Zhang Yi could completely solve the troubles they encountered, which made her very distressed.
And Zhang Yi also saw what Kara was thinking and said with a slight smile.
“Okay, I know what you are worried about. In fact, we have got what we want at this time, family, lover, and peaceful world. People often have greater motivation when they have nothing.
And after we already have what we dream of, we will start to think about whether to stop in time, because no one knows if we continue to move forward, everything we have obtained will be destroyed. “
After a pause, Zhang Yi continued.
“I once promised Pietro that I would give him a world where he can live in peace. I also promised you that I would give you and your brother a planet that you can call ‘home’. Now, I have done it.”
“However, this peace is hard-won. You also know how much danger is hidden near us. The polluted parallel universe will threaten our peaceful life at all times, so in order to protect the wasteland, I cannot stop.”
“I understand.”
Kara stretched out her hand and grabbed the back of Zhang Yi’s hand.
“But I hope you won’t be alone. Isn’t the original intention of establishing a regulator to bring all forces together to solve dangers that ordinary people cannot prevent. There is no need for you to carry everything on yourself.”
“This is hard to explain.” Zhang Yi sighed.
Zhang Yi knew very well that he was different from Pietro and Carla. This did not mean that their genes were different or anything else, but that fundamentally, they were not of the same standard.
Whether Pietro or Carla, they were all born in the high-dimensional world and created characters with their own souls. But Zhang Yi is different. He himself is an existence in the high-dimensional world.
Now that the threat of pollution is approaching, if you want to solve the trouble from the high-dimensional world, you must deal with it yourself, who also belongs to the high-dimensional world.
This has nothing to do with combat power, nor with illusion and materiality.
This is the most basic logic of soldiers versus soldiers versus generals. The observer group has proven the correctness of this point. It can be said that except for Zhang Ye, no one in the entire multiverse has the ability to rewrite pollution.
“Anyway”
Zhang Yi raised his head again and smiled at Kara.
“I hope you can believe me. I never do anything unprepared, let alone put myself in danger. Everything I do is to protect our world.”
“Um.”
Kara smiled too.
“I trust you.”
The two sat opposite each other, holding each other’s palms and feeling each other’s warmth.
Looking at each other, both of them could see the determination called ‘protection’ in each other’s eyes.
“Ang~~~~~”
Suddenly, a strange sound sounded from not far away, interrupting Zhang Yi and Kara’s peaceful hearts.
Zhang Yi’s smiling face suddenly froze, his head slowly and mechanically turned, and he looked in the direction of the strange sound.
But at the entrance of the library, Pietro, Ashley, Venom, Damian, Dick, Jason and other second-generation superheroes were looking at them with teasing faces.
Kara was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Because her attention was all on Zhang Yi, she didn’t notice the arrival of Pietro and others for a while. At this time, she saw those guys peeping, and she felt a little panicked.
But when she saw Zhang Yi’s expression, she couldn’t help but smile.
This was the second time she had seen Zhang Yi perform the ‘face changing’ stunt today. Likewise, Zhang Yi’s relaxed look and relaxed mood were the first time Kara felt from him in a long time.
After experiencing so many adventures, Kara has always been aware that Zhang Yi is in a state of mental stress. Although she didn’t know why at first, she also understood Zhang Yi’s nervousness when she encountered each crisis that became bigger than the last. Where does it come from.
At this moment, seeing Zhang Yi finally relax, Kara was sincerely happy for him.
Of course, Kara was happy, but Zhang Yi was not very happy at this time.
After letting go of Kara’s hand, Zhang Yi felt that his fists had become stiff unconsciously. Looking directly at the heroes at the gate, Zhang Yi stood up slowly.
“You guys like to peek, don’t you?”
This time, it was Pietro and the others who changed their faces.
“Ahem, I was just passing by.” Pietro smiled awkwardly, then bumped Ashley with his shoulder. “Right?”
“Ah, yes, yes, we are just looking for something to eat.” Ashley said quickly.
“Hey, I suddenly remembered that I had a sparring appointment with Black Canary. I’ll take the first step.” Damien pretended to be calm and said to himself.
“Go together, go together.” Dick also followed his pace.
Jason’s eyes flickered, he opened his mouth, his head was racing, and finally he spoke. “Well, I’m going to the weapons depot. Oh, it’s strange, why did I end up here?”
“Pretend, keep pretending.”
Zhang Yipi raised his steps with a smile, moved his joints and made a “click” sound while walking towards the direction of the crowd.
Seeing this situation, a red word ‘danger’ appeared above everyone’s heads.
“Run and kill!”
Pietro shouted.
Before Zhang Yi could reach them, they crossed the sea and showed their magical powers, using their most outstanding displacement methods to escape in all directions.
“Stop it, you brats!”
