Chapter 772: Chapter 730: Myriad Convergences
"So, this is the Space-Time Teleporter..."
In a room within the Space Fortress, Su Ming touched his twitching cheek. As expected, this is probably his fault too.
The so-called Space-Time Teleporter looks like a European public phone booth, the old style kind, entirely blue, with lattice windows on all sides, a flat top, and through the glass, there’s indeed a telephone inside.
This must be something he mimicked from the series "Doctor Who" without knowing what got into his mind.
Speaking of it, surrounded by Goth style decorations, a giant sword-wielding statue stands in the darkness, and in the entire hall there is just this lone phone booth with a strong light shining on it, making it utterly out of place with everything around.
"Yes, this is the Space-Time Machine I made after analyzing the Time Gem, the appearance was your request, it was once placed at Kama Taiji, then moved here when Black Stone Fortress was built, it’s barely used now."
The adjutant’s little head popped out from the phone booth, almost like playing hide and seek, smiling at Su Ming.
Su Ming smiled wryly, it really is the Black Stone Fortress, originally flying in and looking at it did seem like it, but he didn’t want to ask...
"So, it means we already have the means to return, and it seems quite easy." Zheng Xian clapped and laughed, everything appearing quite effortless.
The adjutant projection emerged from the Space-Time Machine, saying lightly, "It’s indeed easy, we just need to burn 100,000 Psychic Bionics to activate the Star Torch link to Subspace."
"Sacrifice living beings?" Zheng Xian slightly tilted his head, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"No, they are sacrificed for Emperor’s great goal, and as Bionics, they have no self-awareness, not considered human." The adjutant politely corrected the misconception.
Su Ming nodded slightly, these Bionics abound in Marvel World, likely using S.H.I.E.L.D.’s LMD Technology or Kang’s Blue Gloves technology, who knows when he pocketed it.
Plucking a feather from a passing goose really is a good habit, must continue to uphold it.
"Didn’t you say time travel was merely a technological feat like ordinary tourism? Why ignite the Star Torch?" Su Ming posed the question, since hearing the name he roughly knew what it was.
The adjutant put its hands behind its back, projecting a screen with a large yellow tree on it.
"If merely sending people upstream or retrieving them back in time, it’s indeed simple, but now you’ve been divided into over a million pieces, with an individual existing on each timeline. I must gather enough energy to merge all of you together, converge the timelines and launch back, requiring the Star Torch."
Saying this, one could see numerous light spots moving on the tree, converging into one within the trunk, then rushing towards the root, disappearing.
"Integrating all possibilities?" Su Ming stroked his chin.
"Thousands of glories return to one point, this is an inevitable outcome in time logic, dispersion and convergence always occur, yet we can’t calculate the true conclusion." The adjutant finished speaking and quietly stood aside, like an ordinary machine.
Su Ming glanced at Zheng Xian, Zheng Xian pondered a bit, slowly nodding.
Though unknown what occurs on other timelines, currently only the two of them have found a way back.
Using a phone booth...
"Then how should we coordinate? If millions of me exist simultaneously across different Time Streams, there has to be a signal to tell every one of me what to do."
Zheng Xian means, burning another hundred thousand people?
The adjutant moved his neck, data flashing in its eyes, "The Chief can await the resonance of X Metal, which can transmit information across time and space because you once said so and instructed me to record it."
"I see, you can prepare now."
Su Ming spoke, feeling confident about himself on other timelines.
Once conscious of their predicament, all the Deathstrokes would inevitably unite, no worries over collaboration since all participants are himself.
The adjutant surely began preparations, though its image remained beside them, being an electronic lifeform doesn’t require physical travel to deliver commands. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Meanwhile, Su Ming and Zheng Xian entered the phone booth, one must admit, it truly held a hidden world inside.
From outside, squeezing two grown men into this tiny phone booth seemed barely feasible.
But after opening the door and stepping inside, the space was larger than a football field, the sky like a swirling purple nebula, should be named by Su Ming as the Subspace time portal.
There were many exhibits here, merely decorations without any functionality, simply making the space seem less vacant, appearing more bustling.
"Preparations complete, the Star Torch is ablaze, ready to activate at any moment." The adjutant ’grew’ out from the ground.
"Very well, await resonance through X Metal to link all of me." Su Ming nodded, slowly exhaling.
He’s not worried about Zheng Xian knowing too much, their future is the only lifeline for the duo, if going back he attempts rewriting history, they wouldn’t be saved now; time paradoxes won’t allow that.
Even if Director Zheng returns, all he could do is play dumb since in this timeline, Su Ming’s dominance is established.
The other evidently figured it out, or perhaps hadn’t, only appearing carefree.
No matter, so far nothing has gone wrong, meaning neither altered this timeline after returning.
At that moment, Su Ming suddenly felt a strong vibration throughout his body, the Nightfall Greatsword in the silk pouch and even the Time Gem on his chest, all vibrating at a unique frequency.
This sensation was subtle, like growing ripples on the water surface, gradually these circles of waves collided with each other, interfering.
Later, just like a pond in a storm, more waves joined in, interference grew within visible range, a sign every timeline version of him made contact through X Metal.
Increasingly more, densely packed, the tremor felt almost shaking the soul out of the body, akin to a sprawling Spider Web constantly sending signals of position and time. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
He closed his eyes, after a moment abruptly opened them, "Adjutant, start the machine!"
Su Ming at different time points has varied experiences, yet only three are most representative, they signify three main future categories, now merging under varying forces.
The Ancient One raised the Eye of Agamotto on her chest, fingers forming a series of Dharma Seals, Emperor Vishanti’s phantom emerged behind her, golden light blazing.
She placed another hand on Su Ming’s chest, channeling power into the other Time Gemstone, without a hint of green light escaping.
She stared deeply at Su Ming, eyes full of encouragement, softly smiling, "With supreme magic!"
The Leopard God licked its paws, a plush paw pad resting on Su Ming’s shoulder, its eyes beamed brilliant purple light, while the Celestial God Remains in the void gradually dimmed.
It gazed at them, greeting them with a smile on its feline face, a loud voice resonated, "With silent truth!"
The adjutant grasped Su Ming’s hand, her nanomaterial body, many energy conduits began surging around, blue light gradually saturated the surroundings.
A hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, quickly drowned in dense data streams, gently placing hands behind Su Ming’s head, she softly spoke, "With exalted science!"
"Start!"
"Start!"
"Start!"
Gold, blue, and purple lights flared simultaneously, leveraging Time Gem as a conductor, merging over timelines.
More and more other lights flowed from the trunk, rushing in and integrating, the flood became interspersed black and yellow hues, in infinite future, any surrounding scenery merely blinked past.
