403. The Watcher’s Request!

403. The Watcher’s Request!

Listening to the question Alex posed, the Watcher fell into silence.

Perhaps, even for an existence like the Watcher, it had never considered this angle.

Among the Watcher race, they only understood that corruption was a force beyond the comprehension of ordinary beings, and it could potentially bring about irreversible, destructive consequences for the entire multiverse.

But what if they had intelligence?

What if they were sentient beings?

Then, everything would seem to have an explanation.

Just as the Watchers documented the multiverse, tirelessly introducing the stories that could happen in each universe to higher entities, perhaps this so-called 'corruption' was the work of a higher-dimensional existence?

"Then, the intentions of these entities would be worth investigating."

The Watcher lowered its head and sighed slightly, feeling a heavy burden at this moment.

"Yes, their purpose."

Upon hearing this, Alex nodded, but soon he shifted the topic.

"However, this isn't something that can be figured out quickly. Since the trouble here is mostly resolved, there's no need for me to stay any longer."

"No."

Hearing this, the Watcher quickly raised a hand to stop him.

"You can't leave yet. The problems here are not fully resolved."

"What do you mean?"

Originally, Alex had come to this universe to uncover the truth behind the corruption. Now that he understood part of it and had some clues, there was no longer much reason for him to remain.

Alex's next plan was to return to the House of Mystery as soon as possible, so he could properly think about where to start, crack the numerical code, and uncover the secrets behind the intelligent source of the corruption. Then, he would solve this major problem at its core.

And while he was at it, once Tony Stark had sorted out the equipment and information, Alex planned to take him out of this universe. With his intelligence, Stark would be a huge asset to the Overseers.

"The corruption has been eliminated, but the zombie virus still exists. If we don't do something about this virus, it could have a huge impact on the surrounding multiverses."

"Come on, without the corruption, the zombie virus is nothing to worry about. If I remember correctly, both the Ultimate Universe and the Main Universe have methods of dealing with these viruses. Besides, don't you Watchers usually avoid interfering with the development of the multiverse?"

Alex crossed his arms, looking at the Watcher in confusion.

There were countless multiverses infected by the zombie virus—quantum zombies, biochemical zombies, magical zombies—various kinds of strange and bizarre viruses that had destroyed many universes. Yet, the Watchers had never seemed this concerned.

Why were they suddenly wanting to intervene now?

Sensing Alex's gaze, the Watcher helplessly shook its head.

"Logically, yes, that's true. But don't forget, this universe involves the source of the corruption. Those forces that alter cognition and distort reality have caused a huge impact here. I had no choice but to personally intervene and connect these two universes."

"Because of this, even though the corruption here has been resolved, the entire timeline and the reality barrier of the universe have undergone drastic changes. These are the hidden dangers left behind by our intervention."

But corruption was different. It was clear that this corruption encompassed all known and unknown universes. Although it was just a guess, Alex believed that it wasn't just the Marvel Universe that was affected. Even the DC Universe or the Image Universe might be under the influence of this force.

When that happened, the threat of corruption would no longer be confined to just this universe.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this."

Alex snapped out of his thoughts and turned to the Miss Minutes.

"So, how are Pietro and Kara doing? Have there been any special reports uploaded to the files?"

The Miss Minutes thought for a moment before answering.

[The reconstruction plan for the Wasteland Universe is progressing smoothly. With the help of the Justice League heroes and the people from another Earth in a different universe, the Wasteland Universe has completed its preliminary transformation and has established the basic framework for a lawful society.]

[Although there are still some resistance forces fighting back, it shouldn't be a big problem. Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor have already devised plans to handle it. Pietro and Kara are happy, but... they seem to be looking for your whereabouts.]

"I see," Alex muttered thoughtfully.

Previously, in his rush to stabilize the Wasteland Universe, Alex had focused all his attention on establishing the Overseers, neglecting to check in with them. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't even taken the time to visit them.

Seeing that Alex fell silent, the Miss Minutes thought he was reflecting on the future plans for the Wasteland Universe.

[Actually, if you want to know the future development of the Wasteland Universe, it's not impossible. We have the entire timeline's development path at our disposal and can review different future scenarios anytime.]

"No need. The original purpose of the Overseers was to protect the stability of the Wasteland Universe. That's all," Alex said, waving his hand.

"Please open a portal for me."

[Where do you wish to go?]

The Miss Minutes was surprised. She didn't expect Alex to suddenly request this.

"Of course, I'm going back to the Supernatural Universe. It's a transit point, and I must pass through there to return to the Wasteland Universe. Don't you know that?" Alex replied.

[I know, but...]

The Miss Minutes seemed puzzled.

[What about here? Didn't the Watcher ask you to solve the troubles here? If the aftermath of this situation isn't resolved, the Watcher can't leave. Is it appropriate for you to just leave like this?]

"I did promise the Watcher, but handling such a big mess alone would take a long time. Besides, I think the technology and combat capabilities in the Wasteland Universe are due for an upgrade," Alex said.

Hearing this, the Miss Minutes seemed to understand his reasoning.

[So, you want...]

Alex smiled slightly.

"Ah, how could I help without getting something in return? Two universes of civilizations, so many treasures, it'd be a waste to leave them here. I can't take it all myself, so I'll just call some brothers to help."
