"Finally, someone agrees with me!"
The little spider wearing the green light ring conjured a hand with the ring and gave a high five to Dr. Banner, who was on the same wavelength:
"When Invincible Young Hero first appeared in this world, I said his teleportation portal looked very similar!"
After the celebration, Peter realized something was wrong:
"Oh no, this is terrible!"
The invincible young hero was sent to this universe by the enemy using this portal. The reappearance of the portal means that he has to leave.
And now, with all due respect, this is really not a good time to leave.
Despite feeling dizzy and experiencing excruciating pain, Mark, having seen the portal, desperately scrambled out of bed.
"I have to go back right away!"
Spider-Man, who knew all about Mark's past, instinctively tried to dissuade him: "No, no, no, isn't this a bit too hasty?!"
The man named Angustron threatened him with the lives of the Invincible Young Hero's mother and younger brother, forcing him to travel between dangerous dimensions to weaken his power.
Now that villain has almost perfectly achieved his goal, Mark can barely stand. If he goes back like this, you can imagine what will happen.
"Don't be impulsive, Mark! In your current state, you'll definitely die if you go back!"
"He kidnapped my mother! What can I do?!"
How can Mark calmly weigh the pros and cons when he thinks of his mother still being controlled by others and trembling under the threat of Angustran's death?
"My serious injuries just happen to be what Angerström wanted."
After tearing off the various tubes and wires from his body, Mark staggered toward the portal.
"Anyway, this is exactly what he wants. At least it lets him know that exiling me to another world can pose a threat to me. It's better than him having no other choice but to hurt my family to hurt me—"
"No."
A strong arm blocked the invincible young hero's path; it was Joey:
"Although I don't know you, I can tell you're a good person, Mark."
No good person or their family deserves to suffer like this.
This is a statement that Yang Yi completely agrees with.
Joey already knew about Mark's situation by overhearing his conversation with Spider-Man: a villain with the ability to travel between dimensions had come to bring disaster to the whole family. Joey hated stories like that.
"I can help you."
Yes, Joey knew he already had enough on his plate, but when it came to matters of life and death, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Besides, didn't Batman just tell me to trust my partners?
With Batman, who has finished his Justice League mission, and Iron Man, who will become Doctor Doom, in this universe, there are two major threats. If I leave for a few days, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"We'll go through the portal at the same time; I'll help you out."
Having borrowed a dimensional travel device from Spider-Man, Joey is ready to set off to help the invincible young hero overcome his difficulties.
This shouldn't be too difficult. Joey is confident that he can melt the other person's brain with his heat vision within 0.1 seconds of seeing them.
"Take this!" Iron Man understood that Joey was determined to leave, so he didn't say anything more. He simply tossed a miniature nanodrone that split off from his suit to Joey.
"in case."
Technically speaking, dimensional travel is no more difficult for the current Spider-Man army and Tony than going downstairs to the convenience store to buy a carton of milk.
But based on experience, just like how going downstairs to buy milk is likely to result in bumping into a dump truck, every time they travel through dimensions, they also encounter some unexpected events.
Therefore, Iron Man specially prepared some amazing tools to deal with such emergencies:
"A fully automatic emergency kit for intercosmic travel. It can record coordinates, anchor time difference, and even has a built-in simplified AI, so you can just point to where you don't know how."
Time was of the essence, and Tony didn't have much time to explain further. He trusted Joey would understand.
Because he knew that Joey had a super brain that was countless times faster than all the supercomputers on Earth combined, but the latter just couldn't bear to use it.
After all, with superhuman strength enough to rival the gods, who needs superhuman intelligence?
As Tony was inwardly lamenting the injustice of creation, Joey packed up his equipment, scooped up the Invincible Young Hero on one shoulder, and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask one last question: "Are you sure you didn't forget anything this time?"
The last time the two of them were stranded in another world, it was because Tony forgot to attach a locator to Joey before teleporting. Who knows if Tony will be careless again this time and miss a few important parts?
"Just go, don't worry about me!"
The situation was urgent, and Joey, who was completely worried, had no other choice but to recklessly rush into the dark green portal.
With a whoosh, Joey, who had stopped the sonic boom with his bio-force field, landed in the other world, but what came into view was neither Mark Grayson's house nor the kidnapped mother and son.
The two were standing on a main road, surrounded by silence.
His gaze unconsciously swept across the thousands of kilometers around him. He placed the heavily injured Invincible Young Hero on flat ground to let him rest briefly, and Joey couldn't help but let out a long roar to the sky:
"Fuck you, Tony!"
Another error!
This is a completely wrong universe!
"Excuse my bluntness, sir, this journey was not interfered with in any way. You have arrived at the universe that the party that opened the portal wanted you to be in."
Seemingly unable to bear seeing its owner being treated like this, the drone's built-in AI spoke up to disclaim responsibility: "My boss bears no responsibility for this incident."
"Furthermore, the statement just made regarding whether this accident was related to this device was generated by AI and is for reference only. The final interpretation of the generated content belongs to Stark Group."
Unlike the usually serious butler-like AI Jarvis, this AI has a crisp and capable female voice, and the tone carries a hint of aggressiveness and cunning that Jarvis lacks.
"The most beautiful Super A1 'Friday' in history is at your service."
"Wow, this is so capitalist."
Arguing with a not-so-intelligent AI isn't Joey's style; he'd rather attack the real thing directly.
"I'm pretty sure Tony was at his worst when he was writing about you."
"Please provide your address so I can mail you a court summons for defamation against Stark Industries."
"I thought it was a leak of company secrets!"
"It's not a problem with that machine."
Although the recovery is slow, the Invincible Young Hero's injuries have begun to improve, and he can now barely stand and fly.
Fed up by the noise from the person and the machine, he quickly interrupted their attack:
"That's Angerstrand's style. He's very cautious. Every time, he banishes me to multiple dimensions, constantly wearing down my strength and patience, so that I don't become a threat to him."
Upon hearing what the invincible young hero said, Joey immediately understood:
"Aside from the possibility that the other party intentionally wants to torture you, your enemy is likely not powerful, and could even be considered quite weak."
He's too weak to defeat you head-on, so what's his motive?
Joey could figure out Levi's plan without even thinking: kidnap Mark's mother and brother, provoke Mark, and repeatedly banish Mark to different universes to weaken his power until he could kill Mark with his own hands.
Angus Reeves, who possesses the ability to freely travel through infinite universes of different dimensions, insists on targeting a young child, and does so using the most risky method possible.
What a lunatic—even if Angstrom and the Invincible Young Hero have some deep-seated grudge and want revenge, shouldn't they be prepared first?
The physiological functions of the Voidlings are so powerful that they are like a weakened version of Kryptonians. The bodies of ordinary people are as fragile as paper in front of them.
Wasn't Angerström afraid that if Mark was pushed to his limit, the latter would risk injuring the hostages and take a radical gamble, tearing him to pieces on the spot?
Just as Mark was sitting on the ground recovering from his injuries, his keen hearing picked up on an unusual sound, and he immediately looked up and around:
"What was that noise? Did you hear it?"
Following the direction of the strange noise, both of them saw crowds surging in from all directions.
Everyone's joints were twisted and they walked with difficulty. Their blood-stained clothes were already tattered and stuck to their bluish-gray, rotting skin. The exposed wounds were full of pus and maggots.
These "people" are all dead, but a special force still drives them, making them living corpses walking in the world.
This isn't a crowd, it's a horde of zombies.
The noise of the two "landing" alerted the zombies, who relied mainly on hearing and smell to detect the presence of new food, and so they came together.
"Meat~"
Some zombies in relatively good condition could still manage to utter a few rhythmic syllables, but these were merely expressions of their craving for fresh flesh: "Flesh!"
"I heard it a long time ago."
The Kryptonians' senses are far more acute than those of the Invincible Young Hero. The Invincible Young Hero only heard some eerie roars, while Joey heard tens of thousands of screams of fear and prayers.
With a shift of his gaze, Joey could already see the straight "pencil building" in the heart of the city—Bank of America Plaza.
This is downtown Atlanta.
With his senses expanded once more, Joey received even more information: the Earth in this world was clearly suffering from a zombie apocalypse that humanity could hardly withstand.
When talking about the end of the world, the ancients would imagine a battle between good and evil, with heavenly fire falling to earth and everything in the mortal world being burned to ashes in the flames.
Modern people living in developed regions are much more sentimental.
They always think of the collapse of social order caused by drastic changes, such as thermonuclear war, natural disasters, or biological crises.
The past is gone; everything around me has regressed from civilized order to a chaotic primitive era of the survival of the fittest.
For them, this was also a kind of apocalypse.
Just like now.
They must preserve humanity amidst such chaos and disorder, confront their bestiality, and fight against it.
