400 (Milestone). Touching the Corruption!!

"You... you need my help?"

Robert's trembling hands clutched his head as if afraid he had misheard. Slowly, he raised his head to look at Alex.

"Say that again."

"I need your help, Robert."

Looking at the Sentry, now completely ravaged by the zombie virus, Alex felt a sudden pang of pity.

In most universes, the Sentry was an unparalleled, supreme being.

His existence seemed almost like the will of the universe itself—capable of creating or destroying on a whim. In some ways, comparing him to an almighty god wasn't far-fetched.

But now, this pitiful figure before him bore no resemblance to the powerful entity he once was.

Once a hero who protected humanity, a beacon of hope and light for the entire universe, he had now fallen to become a monster surviving by devouring others.

Two streaks of bloody tears rolled down Robert's cheeks. Ever since he had been infected by the Hulk, he couldn't recall the last time he'd regained his sanity.

He knew what he had done. He wanted to reclaim his body, to conquer the endless terror within him. But he had failed.

Consumed by guilt and self-reproach, his spirit teetered on the edge of an endless abyss.

Yet Alex's words pierced the haze of despair, illuminating a path forward.

"You need me... you still need me..."

Robert nodded firmly, straightening himself as he clenched his fists.

"Tell me... what can I do for you?"

Looking at the zombie Sentry, Alex's feelings were also deeply conflicted.

Perhaps this was what happened when divinity descended upon flawed humanity. As Lex Luthor from another universe had once said: "If God is all-powerful, He cannot be all-good. If God is all-good, He cannot be all-powerful."

The Sentry wielded the might of an omnipotent god, but his humanity left him hesitant and lost, even consumed by philosophical musings about "meaning." That's why the Sentry had never truly been a "hero."

He was simply a wanderer, doing his best to play the role of one.

Pressing his lips together, Alex finally spoke, "I need to know everything. Since arriving in this universe, what have you done? What were your goals? And why did you come here?"

"I... my last memory is of being unable to suppress the energy within me. That terrifying power, once unleashed, would have posed an immense threat to the entire world..."

Alex lowered his gaze and nodded slightly.

Although he had narrowly escaped being torn apart and devoured by this man, Alex couldn't help but admire his unwavering sense of justice.

Perhaps humanity's flaws didn't only bring destruction; they brought something redeemable as well.

Swallowing nervously, Alex reached out his hand, slowly placing it on the zombie Sentry's bowed head.

This wasn't the first time Alex had dealt with corruption and the worms that brought it. But this time wasn't a distant engagement—it was direct contact.

Even for Alex, it was hard to suppress the unease.

Eerie green flames flickered at Alex's fingertips—a sight that would leave any physicist screaming in astonishment.

But no one cared about that now. Alex continued channeling his magical energy, delving deeper and deeper into the Sentry's mind.

Closing his eyes gently, Alex entered the Sentry's mental world.

The next moment, an indescribable, eerie sensation overwhelmed Alex's mind, like murky paint splattered onto a pristine white canvas. His thoughts were suddenly flooded with alien imagery.

Even though Alex had prepared himself mentally, the sheer force of the mental connection still caught him off guard.

His tightly shut eyes snapped open as he staggered backward, putting a considerable distance between himself and the Sentry. Alex's gaze flickered, uncertain as he stared at the still-unmoving Sentry.

When Alex finally regained his composure, he realized that every hair on his body was standing on end. Even his magical energy was faintly trembling, as though resisting something incomprehensible.

Furrowing his brows deeply, Alex tried to recall the brief moment of contact.

He hadn't fully understood what he had experienced. However, Alex knew that the instant their minds connected, countless indecipherable sequences filled his consciousness.

"0001.0000.0110.1111.0110.0111.0000.0111.1011.0001.0111.0001.0011.1111.1110.0000"

"..."

"..."

"...?"

"6."
