American Comics: Multiverse of Madness - #510 - Chapter 507 New Wasteland!
Stepping back onto the wasteland world, Zhang Yi’s mood was completely different.
Since the last time he destroyed the Red Skull’s regime and overthrew Hydra’s more than forty years of rule on the planet, Zhang Yi and the heroes left the wasteland.
Even after solving the troubles in the Apokolips War Universe and the Wasteland Universe, Zhang Yi did not enter this land again.
At that time, he had just become the maintainer of order in time and space. Not only did he need to personally guard the House of Mystery, but he also needed to stabilize the magical energy in his body. He had no time to pay attention to the situation in the wasteland.
Coupled with the fact that he later met an observer and received a message from the zombie Mr. Fantastic, Zhang Yi’s original vacation was shattered again.
As a last resort, he had to embark on a journey again, heading to other universes to solve various troubles and trying to find clues to the source of the pollution.
On the surface, Zhang Yi, as the true master of the wasteland universe, has not done anything except giving freedom to the people of this world. He has not even set his sights here.
But only Zhang Yi knows that it’s not that he doesn’t want to care, but that he doesn’t care at all.
Having lived in two lifetimes, Zhang Yi does have wisdom that is beyond ordinary people, but this does not mean that he understands everything. For example, Zhang Yi knows nothing about the most basic technology until now.
I can only say that things like mathematics, physics, and chemistry really depend on talent. Some people can master them casually, but some people still can’t learn what they should be able to learn after all the hard work.
It is said that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, but Zhang Yi is self-aware and convinced that he is not a good cook. If he wants to bring life to the wasteland again, he must leave it to capable people to manage.
Coming to this familiar yet unfamiliar world again, Zhang Yi felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
Although he had occasionally observed some reconstruction situations in the wasteland from the House of Mystery before, at that time it was only the beginning of the reconstruction plan, and everything was still in the state of a blueprint and had not been actually implemented.
The wasteland used to be full of barbarism and chaos. The loss of order and the prevalence of the law of the jungle put everyone living here in constant danger.
No one knows which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident, and no one can guarantee their own safety in this world.
Regime changes and the indulgence of super villains have led to the end of civilization. When the moral level plummets, the resulting horrific scene is difficult for people like Zhang Yi who are accustomed to peace to accept.
But at this time, Zhang Yi looked at the newly built asphalt road and the surrounding high-rise buildings, and a special feeling emerged in his heart.
Beside Zhang Yi, Pietro crossed his arms and said with a smile. “How about it? You’re surprised. I didn’t believe it when I first came here. That New Babylon would be transformed into this. It’s even more prosperous than New York.”
“Before this, it was New York.” Ashley reminded.
I have to say that the changes that have taken place here are simply too great. Originally, this place was almost in ruins, and the roads were even more dilapidated. There were garbage scattered everywhere and no one was cleaning it up.
However, now this place has been completely transformed. There are many destruction robots on the road, and there are huge mechanical devices in the distance that are transporting building materials to higher floors.
Sensing Zhang Yi’s gaze, Kara explained. “After Dr. Doom’s death, his country and people were incorporated here, and the destruction robot he created was reprogrammed by Mr. Fantastic and is now used to transform the community.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yi said curiously. “Destroy the robot? Isn’t that thing fully controlled by Dr. Doom? Aren’t you afraid that these intelligences will once again start a war against life?”
“With regulators, this would not happen, and the current destruction robot is controlled by Ashley’s godfather.” Pietro explained.
“What the hell are you godfather? It’s hard to hear what you say. Please call it Ultron 8. Thank you!” Ashley stepped on Pietro angrily.
Ignoring the fight between Pietro and Ashley, Zhang Yi focused his attention on the destruction robots again.
It is unimaginable that these robots created for war are now maintaining social stability in an orderly manner, and are even controlled by the Ultron robots that launched Age of Ultron.
It is worth noting that the appearance of the Doombot has not changed. He is still dressed exactly the same as Doom, wearing a green robe.
“If Doom could see this scene, he would probably feel at ease.” Zhang Ye said thoughtfully.
“Yeah, who would have thought that in the face of the menacing Church of Truth, the person who dared to stand on the first line of defense on earth would actually be one of the villains who destroyed the world back then.”
Kara shook her head. “Everyone saw the scene at that time, and Mr. Fantastic had no intention of hiding it. Instead, he told the crowd the truth of the matter. No matter who Doom was before, at least he died as a hero when he died.”
The few people continued to move forward, and after a while, they saw a huge statue standing in the center of the city.
It was not an independent statue, but a magnificent stone sculpture composed of a group of people, with the images of all the heroes who fought against the super villains on it.
Not only are the Punisher, two generations of Hawkeye, Star-Lord and Wolverine Logan, but also all members of the Justice League, including Superboy, Colossus and Batwing.
At the top of the stone statue is a figure holding an umbrella.
“Well, it couldn’t be me.” Zhang Yi looked up at the faceless stone sculpture and twitched the corner of his mouth. “Why are they all blocked by umbrellas?”
“It’s for the sake of mystery.” Pietro chuckled.
“Are you sure?” Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows. “Why do I feel the flow of magic? Maybe they carved something else on my stone statue.”
“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you. When we were designing this stone statue, Agatha came to us and said that she owed you a favor, and now she hopes to repay it in a special way, so she carved a magic circle on the stone statue.”
Kara raised her hand and pointed to the tall umbrella.
“Due to the need to depict the magic circle, the angle and material of the stone statue were affected, which is why you were blocked.”
“It’s interesting.” Zhang Yi curiously looked at the magic flow on the umbrella. Although he didn’t know what it was, he was convinced from the diffused magic that this was no ordinary magic circle.
“Dr. Doom used magic and technology to restart the guardian magic of the three supreme temples, and Agatha used a special method to mobilize those magic circuits here.”
Kara explained. “If we encounter a similar danger again, this stone statue will gather the energy of the entire earth, reopen the magic barrier, and protect the earth.”
“Awesome, I didn’t expect Agatha to show up. I thought she would find a place to live in seclusion for the rest of her life.” Zhang Yi smiled.
He only had a one-time relationship with Agatha, and that was when he was looking for the Book of Darkness. At that time, Agatha was still controlled by Baron Mordo. It was Zhang Yi who rescued the controlled Agatha.
Not only that, Agatha also helped Zhang Yi transform the Observer’s Eye into the shape of a crow, so the favor Agatha said had already been returned. This time, she probably took the initiative to show her kindness. .
No one can stop the regulators from transforming the wasteland. Obviously Agatha also understands this reason. If she wants to continue living on this planet, she must deal with the regulators.
Rather than being chased around by Superman like the Extraordinary Dragon, only to be beaten up and kicked off the Earth by Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman, it would be better to take the initiative and show kindness.
Looking at the prosperous city, Zhang Yi felt much better. However, he noticed that most of the pedestrians on the street had Asian faces, which made him think that he had arrived in Chinatown.
“When did so many Asians come here?” Zhang Yi was curious.
After hearing Zhang Ye’s question, Kara explained. “After Luther unified the European and American continents, he immediately established contact with the Asian continent. Unlike here, although they are both countries occupied by villains, the population there has not decreased but increased.
At first, they just hoped to bring back the people who were randomly teleported. Later, in order to supplement the population and labor force here, Luther opened up channels and brought a large number of Asians here.
Now, there are no national restrictions on the entire earth, and the entire planet is monolithic. “
“That’s pretty good.” Zhang Yi nodded seriously this time. There is nothing better than the people uniting.
“Perhaps several crises have made people understand the value of life. Now, except for some people who are evil at heart, most people have regained their morality and kindness.”
Speaking of this, Kara thought of another interesting thing and continued.
“By the way, Zhang Yi, do you know Thanos?”
“Thanos? What’s wrong with him?” Zhang Yi knew the master of snapping fingers and the spokesperson of population management very well, but he was curious about why Kara also knew about this existence. “Don’t tell him to come to Earth too.”
“Well, solar radiation diffused in the universe before, and within a few days, our satellite detected a spacecraft landing in the Greater Khingan Range, and the person inside was Thanos.”
“Thanos is not someone to be trifled with. If you really think about it, he can even go toe-to-toe with Clark. But in my impression, this guy should have retired a long time ago.” Zhang Yi recalled the plot of the wasteland and said .
“He did retire. Because of the radiation, the place where he originally lived was affected. He heard that the earth was being rebuilt, and he planned to come here to retire.” Kara recounted.
“What happened later? No conflict broke out between you, right?” Zhang Yi asked.
It doesn’t matter if a conflict breaks out. With the current combat power of the earth, Thanos can’t make any trouble.
However, Kara’s next words left Zhang Yi stunned.
“There was no conflict. When we got there, Thanos was collecting grain with a group of people. I heard that he was discovered by a few fellow villagers. After he was done, he settled in that village. Now he is a well-known grain tycoon. .”
Pietro, who was next to him, was afraid that Zhang Yi wouldn’t believe it, so he added another sentence.
“I saw it with my own eyes, the Thief 6 driven by Thanos’ tractor”
