Chapter 365 Returning to the Heir's Family Headquarters
If Tony remembers correctly, according to Joey's description, his universe with Ultron should have been blown to smithereens, right?
"Not the entire universe." Professor X, who was "on the scene" in the secret base, corrected this young version of Iron Man's misconception:
"At that time, only Earth in that universe was destroyed. Only in this way could the two universes that were about to collide pass each other by, preserving the rest of life."
After hearing this, Tony felt that something dirty was definitely manipulating this disaster from behind the scenes.
"Two different parallel universes collide, and every time the point of collision is Earth? What a coincidence!"
'
Regardless of who instigated all of this, they are deliberately inciting people from two different planets to fight each other.
To satisfy their perverse tastes.
"If I were you, I wouldn't make that assumption beforehand."
Professor X, on the other hand, took it all in stride. After surviving a life-or-death ordeal, he was already incredibly lucky to be alive and have the chance to resurrect the X-Men and other mutants.
"At least it shouldn't be reflected in the logic of their actions."
Superman shattered the five Infinity Stones, sustaining a broken arm in the process, just to escape one of the universes.
How immense a force would be needed to drive the infinite multiverses to collide with each other?
If there truly are so-called masterminds behind the scenes, then they are clearly beings a level higher than the existing conceptual entities of gods in the universe, truly gods above gods.
Even a single glance from the other side could bring about utter disaster.
"The so-called God above gods?"
Tony pondered for a long time and remembered that he had actually pursued some philosophy and theology degrees in order to pick up girls.
But the knowledge in those books can at most tell you that there was indeed a giant in ancient Norse mythology who could wield a hammer and summon thunder, flying around in the sky. They won't record anything beyond the universe.
Tony, his mind wandering, felt he should give this potential mastermind a nickname. He slapped his forehead:
"Hey—since they transcend all universes, wouldn't it be appropriate to call them—"
"Beyond the gods." It wasn't Tony or Professor X who spoke, but Jarvis. He interrupted Tony once again, uttering the answer that had already surfaced in Tony's mind:
"How about this name, sir?"
Although the answer was already on the surface of the riddle, Tony felt that Jarvis had become a little smarter lately.
"Stop stealing my thunder, Jarvis!"
"Roger that, sir—by the way, the portal is ready, you can depart at any time. For your safety, you may need me to call the bats for you—"
No, absolutely not!
Tony immediately perks up at the mention of Batman, who is more of a rival than a partner.
The Amager Core surged from the micro-nano clusters beneath Tony's chest reactor, transforming into an indestructible Iron Man suit. As if infected by Takuya Yamashiro, he struck a pose and plunged headfirst into the portal:
"Tony Stark is armed and ready, Iron Man—launch!"
It's just retrieving the Space Stone from the shattered remains of Earth. With the help of the locator, it should only take a moment. What's there to worry about?
In the Zero Universe of the Heirs' family, it's a completely different story.
Although he had visited once before, Joey still felt something was off when he looked around on his second visit.
This universe is not a normal universe in the true sense; it is more like a patchwork of countless fragments of worlds.
The whole world is like a giant theme park, with medieval Caribbean pirates on one side, nomads in the desert on the other, and further on, the Wild West—
The day and night, climate, and even cosmological constants such as gravity and the speed of light are different in different regions.
All of this incongruity even made the massive medieval fortress at the center of the world seem less out of place.
That place is where the heir families reside.
Gazing into the distance at the Western European noble castle shrouded in dark clouds and occasionally struck by lightning, Zhang Parker bluntly remarked:
"A vampire family paired with a medieval European noble castle—it's so clichéd! Could their patriarch also be named Vladimir?"
"I think you might be mistaken; it should be Vlad."
-
Spider-Man 2099 is also facing the Heirs' lair for the first time. Despite the tension, he doesn't forget to defend Parker:
"Vlad III Tsepesch, the originator of the vampire legend, also known as the Impaler."
'
"How can this be considered my fault?"
Zhang Parker's biggest pet peeve in his life is being criticized for being wrong; he immediately explodes in anger.
"Aren't Vladimir and Vladimir the same thing? Just like 'Caesar' and 'Tsar' refer to the same thing—"
"Do not be nervous."
Compared to Spider-Man and his crew, Joey, who was revisiting the familiar place, was extremely calm.
After all, compared to Galactus, Ultron, and the recent Collision Crisis, these weakling heir family members are much more pleasant to be around:
"Let's go in."
Joey smashed down the steel gate of the castle's outer wall with a single punch, leading Spider-Man and his crew across the moat and the outer gardens.
The guards and servants outside the gate panicked and scattered, making no attempt to stop Joey and his companions.
They were allowed to proceed straight into the castle.
"That's disgusting!"
Even though he shared Peter Parker's memories, Zhang Parker, who had watched many erotic films, couldn't help but shudder and spit out a curse.
Just like the feudal nobles of the Middle Ages who enjoyed hunting in their own territories, the walls inside the castles of the heir families were also covered with all sorts of spoils from their hunting trips.
Various Spider-Man heads of different colors were made into specimens and displayed on both sides of the wall, with Spider-Man suits hanging below.
Maddie Parker, the Spider-Woman accompanying the group, was reminded of her Spider-Man family, who had been tragically killed by the Heirs, and couldn't help but reach out to touch the most iconic red and blue Spider-Man suit.
"Don't touch them."
Joey grabbed her wrist just in time, stopping Spider-Woman from touching the Spider-Man suits: "Trust me, don't touch them."
"Is there a trap up here?"
Faced with the questions from these Spider-Men, Joey didn't know what to say, so he could only tell a small lie first:
"Uh—that's right!"
One downside to having super vision is that you always notice things faster than others.
Take, for example, these lifelike Spider-Man suits in front of us. They appear to be made of normal fiber materials and fabrics.
It is actually made of some leather.
As for the origin of the leather—
Joey still felt it was best not to say anything.
Among the crowd, it was Zhang Parker who was slow to realize what was happening. After observing Superman's expression, he immediately shouted out in anger:
"Those brats with such fancy names!"
What do these heir families take Spider-Man for?!
Enraged and furious, Zhang Parker extended the mechanical spider arm on his back and rushed into the inner courtyard, ready to unleash a furious massacre, tearing off the heads of several members of the Heir Family.
A long, wide banquet table came into view, but to his surprise, the vampires from these heir families were all lying motionless on the table.
"What's going on?!"
Joey followed closely behind Zhang Parker at a leisurely pace, placing a hand on the latter's shoulder to quell his rage.
"Didn't I tell you? Just seeing them makes me feel happy."
