American Comics: Multiverse of Madness - #551 - Chapter 548 Let’s start!
Beyond the timeline, the House of Mystery.
After taking over the mission from Zhang Yi, Pietro had been in a state of excitement. Although it was just a simple diplomatic mission, this was the first time for him to act independently.
The captain of this mission was none other than Pietro. Although Carla and Ashley were traveling together, they were both deputies. Perhaps Carla also understood that Zhang Yi was preparing to train Pietro, so she did not take the initiative to make any suggestions.
Behind the scenes, Kara has learned a lot of diplomatic knowledge and trade experience, which Stark taught her, and Luther also gave her a lot of books.
In a space beyond time like the House of Mystery, she has enough time and energy to integrate this knowledge.
Just as Kara was packing her things, there was a sudden knock on the bedroom door.
“Come in.” Kara raised her head.
The door was opened by none other than her neighbor Ashley.
Ever since she decided to join the Regulators, Ashley has completely moved out of the Wasteland universe. In her words, she has no feeling of ‘home’ in the Wasteland at all, and it is difficult to feel any closeness to her parents.
Perhaps it is the influence of the environment in which Ashley grew up. She is very indifferent to family affection and emotions. Perhaps, compared to her biological parents, Pietro, the person who calls her crazy girl, makes her heart beat more. .
“Are you ready, Sister Ka?” Ashley opened the door, pulled up a chair and sat down with ease.
“Of course, Luther has sent the documents over. As long as Pietro is ready, we can set off at any time.”
Kara didn’t pay attention to what Ashley called her. She didn’t know if the venom became more and more relaxed because of familiarity, and it began to give many people some strange nicknames.
Later, after being talked about by it, Ashley also started to call others by these nicknames.
It can be said that every one of the entire regulators and even the heroes in the wasteland were nicknamed by venom, except for one person, and that was Zhang Yi.
“I can tell Pietro is nervous,” Ashley sighed.
“This is normal. People cannot stay in their comfort zone. If he wants to become a member of the regulator, he must take this step.” Hearing this, Kara put down the book in her hand.
“I understand, I just want to help him. Seeing how stressed he is, I also want to share the burden for him, but I am too stupid. Without a brain as useful as yours, I can’t learn anything.”
Ashley lowered her head, looking a little lonely.
Through the House of Mystery, Ashley can see her grandfather for the first time, not from other people’s mouths, nor from comics, but through the past timeline, truly seeing it. To grandpa.
Ashley has admired her grandfather Peter Parker very much since she was a child. She has always regarded Spider-Man as her idol and benchmark, hoping that one day she would become such a great hero.
But it wasn’t until she watched her grandfather’s experiences from childhood to adulthood several times that she realized how talented Peter Parker was and how weak she was.
When he was a child, Peter Parker was a kind and caring child. In high school, he was even able to build his own spider web launcher.
In fact, as long as Peter Parker thought about it, the patent for this device alone would be enough to make him a lot of money, but he did not do so, but quietly assumed the identity of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
How many times did he go through life and death, how many times was he on the front line of the battle against evil, even at the moment he died, he died to save people.
Looking back at myself, I have been doing nothing in the wasteland for so many years, and I still lack knowledge. If it weren’t for the help of venom, I wouldn’t even be able to shoot out spider silk.
Kara reached out and placed her hand on Ashley’s shoulder. “Hey, don’t worry, okay? In a team, everyone has their own place. As long as you complete what you should do, it’s already great.”
“But I really want to help Pietro, and I don’t want to hold him back.” Ashley pursed her lips.
“I think you’ve changed enough. At least you’re not the foul-mouthed little girl you were back then, right?”
Kara smiled slightly before continuing.
“I can understand your thoughts. Sometimes, I also hope that I can keep up with Zhang Yi, but you also know that this is impossible, so we have to use other ways to show our role. .”
“For example?” Ashley raised her head.
“This mission is a good opportunity. As a member of the regulators, we can’t let Zhang Yi do everything himself. Completing these relatively simple tasks is also a help.”
Kara smiled and said. “And if you want to help Pietro, then start with some small things. I guess this guy has never thought about whether he prepared a gift when he saw his old friend again.”
“Yes, a gift!” Kara’s words reminded Ashley, and she stood up immediately. “This is a major action involving two universes. We should be prepared with enough sincerity!”
After saying that, Ashley ran non-stop towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, she suddenly stopped.
After a pause, Ashley turned back and said with a smile.
“Thank you Kara, you are looking more and more like Zhang Yi now.”
Kara smiled too when she heard this.
On the other side, in the basement of the Hong Kong Temple in the Wasteland Universe.
Zhang Yi had already boarded the locomotive known as the Hogwarts Express with Billy Batson and the Magical Twins.
“Are you sure the current state is correct? I feel like this car is about to fall apart.”
Feeling that the entire locomotive was trembling slightly, Billy Batson hugged the seat, his brows full of fear.
“Don’t worry, senior~”
Thirteen-year-old Zhi Duoxing stood in front of the driver’s seat, her hands constantly clicking on various buttons, and her eyes constantly switching sights.
“It’s just a dimension traveling machine. My dad’s research is based on my holiday homework, but obviously he didn’t strictly follow my design. This is simply a decline in the physics world.”
Looking at the blond girl wearing a white battle suit, Billy Batson’s mouth twitched.
“Girl. I mean madam, you should know that our destination is the magical dimension. This seems to have nothing to do with physics.”
As soon as the movements of his hands stopped, Zhi Duoxing turned his head and looked at Billy Batson speechlessly. “If you really study hard, you should understand that technology and magic lead to the same goal through different paths, it’s just the conversion of energy.”
“Huh?” Billy tilted his head and looked at Zhang Yi.
“Don’t look at me. I slipped through the net during my nine-year compulsory education.” Zhang Yi spread his hands.
Shaking his head angrily, Zhiduoxing returned his attention to the debugging console, and then continued to explain.
“Everything in this world cannot escape energy, so there is actually no difference between science and magic. For primitive people, standing in front of them with a flashlight is enough to be called the sun god.
At the same time, the establishment of artificial intelligence actually draws on some simple soul magic, but we use formulas and data to structure it. In other words, isn’t magic just a formula?
As long as it is within the rules, then science and magic are the same thing, but the means are different. The two complement each other, and pure technology and pure magic will generally not end well. “
“It makes sense.” Although he didn’t understand a word of it, Billy Batson still showed a look of enlightenment.
On the seat, Jushentong Franklin saw this and couldn’t help but poked Zhang Yi’s arm with his finger. “Are we really going to take this guy with us? Why does he look so unreliable?”
“Hey! I heard it!” Billy turned his head sharply.
Zhang Yi couldn’t help but smile and said to Ju Shen Tong. “Don’t worry, Billy is a trustworthy guy.”
Looking at these two children who were five years younger than him, Billy Batson was almost furious. He couldn’t figure out where Zhang Yi found these two prodigies. This was too shocking.
Originally, he was looking forward to his coming-of-age birthday, but now, he is not looking forward to it at all. Standing in front of these two prodigies, he would probably feel even more ashamed as an adult.
Just when Billy Batson was sulking with his mouth flattened, Zhi Duoxing snapped his fingers.
“nailed it!”
“Really, can we start it?” Zhang Yi cast his gaze over.
“Yes, I have just completed the debugging. After all, it is the first time to use this thing. In addition, I did not personally participate in the construction of it, so I need to get familiar with it. Now I have figured it out. Dad is so thoughtful. Guessed~”
Zhi Duoxing smiled slightly, but the disappointment on her brows was extremely obvious. It is estimated that the device created by Reed Richards and Tony Stark did not meet her psychological expectations at all.
“Okay, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started.” Zhang Yi crossed his arms and said enthusiastically.
Being with three children has lowered his mental age a lot and made him more lively and outgoing.
“Okay, passengers, get ready, our journey to another dimension is about to depart.” Zhi Duoxing stepped on the small bench and stretched out his hand to sound the whistle device above his head.
Woo-woo-woo-!
A faint blue light emerged from the locomotive, spreading over the rune patterns on the outer surface, making it glowing.
At the same time, the entire locomotive began to tremble more and more, and clouds of steam composed of unknown substances emerged.
“Hey, hey, hey. There’s a wall in front of me!!”
Billy Batson hugged the pillar next to him like a sloth.
“Let’s start hahaha~”
Zhiduoxing didn’t pay attention to Billy’s screams. She stood in front of the console like a DJ, swaying her body with the shaking of the train.
The train started instantly and rushed straight towards the old bricks of the Great Wall in front of it!
Zhang Yi and Franklin laughed excitedly.
“Ha ha ha ha.”
Billy screamed loudly.
“Ahhhhh——!!”
