"It can also be considered a conceptual life form. Since its birth, it has been integrated into the most basic rules and logic of all the universes we have come into contact with so far, and has become a part of them." Luke shrugged.
"What does this mean?" Nick looked at Stephen with a questioning look. He could vaguely hear the horror of this life from Luke's words, and he also realized its horror, but from Luke's answer, he always felt that there were still some omissions in his understanding, or it was inaccurate.
"What does it mean? It's basically just adding an underlying logical rule to all universes, like concepts like eternity and death. Their existence is the very foundation of the universe. If any one of them were lost, the entire multiverse would be shaken to its core, perhaps even destroyed." Stephen gave Nick his answer with a wry smile. At the same time, he felt an indescribable envy for the mind-reflecting monster.
Once born, one attains divine life in the sense of concepts like eternity and death. Even if it's not as good as it could be, it's at least on par in terms of the nature of life. This kind of birth transcends the perceived end point of all life and is truly a divine birth.
Just like the concepts of life, death, and eternity, whether you like it or not, they exist in every corner of the universe, every moment, and every life. Without them, the universe would lose an important part, and various crises would frequently occur, even destruction.
His teacher, the former Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One, has only just embarked on this path.
After hearing Stephen's explanation, Nick felt a bit uneasy. After calming down those positive emotions like happiness, he was able to feel other emotions. He summarized his explanation to Stephen in a concise sentence: Luke created a life form with rules and concepts that could shake the foundation of the universe.
Nick didn't understand how this kind of life could affect the universe, but he could apply it to a nation. The universe is like a nation, and its rules and logic are like finance, resources, knowledge, power, and other intangible yet tangible things that influence a nation. Gods like Odin can be thought of as the bankers, businessmen, academics, and officials who control the distribution and utilization of these things. Under the current national system, if a particular area like finance is lost, the nation will inevitably face problems, even the countdown to destruction.
From this point of view, the logic of these operating rules is almost impossible to eliminate for any country at present. This is a very meticulous and rigorous system of rules.
"Every time I see you, you always seem to shock me." Stephen was a little dejected. He even felt that the increase in strength gained from his own hard work was not as great as that from Luke's experiment.
"You shouldn't say that to me. My research capabilities aren't even as good as Tony Stark's right now." Capital Luke shook his head and didn't respond. He looked at Nick, who had regained control of his body, stood up and stretched himself, his expression gradually returning to normal. He took the initiative to end the conversation and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter that requires you two to come to me together? Is there something else that's bothering you two?"
"Let me tell you." Nick glanced at Stephen and found that he had no intention of speaking, so he took over Luke's words and said after a moment of hesitation: "Have you heard of the name Darkseid?"
"Darkseid?" Luke blinked.
"We took control of the universe where Captain disappeared and granted Bruce Wayne and his crew autonomy. But recently, they requested assistance. A powerful being named Darkseid arrived in that universe with his army.
"There's a cosmic war going on there! We've suffered heavy losses there," Nick said, sighing and glancing at Stephen. "We sent a wave of reinforcements, but they failed. Stephen couldn't stop the rampage of Darkseid's army either. Even worse, Darkseid seems to have discovered our presence."
"And then?" Luke didn't betray any dissatisfaction with the failures of Nick and Master Strange. Success and failure were perfectly normal. Even for the Time Bureau, Hela's conquests weren't always smooth and successful. There was always a universe that could repel Hela and her forces, even engaging in a decisive battle with the Time Bureau's forces. The newest Azeroth was one such world.
He doesn't care about such things.
"Darkseid's advance soldiers have been discovered in our universe." Nick simply spread his hands and said, "He has extended his tentacles into our universe. It seems that he wants to counterattack our universe."
"His purpose should be your knowledge. He is very interested in data dimensions." Stephen added.
"Huh?" Luke raised an eyebrow in surprise. "How did he bypass the Time Bureau's barriers and enter our universe? I remember that after reversing the Time Bureau's ownership, I worked with the Ancient One to build a time wall around the universe. To invade this universe, one must first break through the time wall and the Time Bureau's barrier. Has the Time Bureau been invaded again?"
"The Time Management Bureau has not been invaded. Hela and Loki have strengthened the Time Management Bureau's defenses. I have communicated with Loki, and everything is normal there. Although he is a little frustrated about my suspicion, I don't think he would resort to deception in such matters. In fact, the investigators sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. did not find any abnormalities." Nick denied Luke's last question.
"So he's found some kind of loophole that bypasses the defenses? Is he a spy? Or is there something wrong with the people you sent in to support him? Any powerful, unfamiliar lifeform entering this universe will inevitably be detected and captured by the Data Dimension," Luke asked directly. Although he had set the Data Dimension's warning threshold high, and even small-time intruders wouldn't necessarily be immediately detected, Luke instinctively felt that this wasn't related to the Data Dimension's observation threshold.
"They're two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents," Nick said, a little embarrassed. "It's not our fault. Who would have thought that they could be so easily controlled even with their psychic rings?"
"The Anti-Life Equation. It's somewhat similar to a portion of psychic power, capable of controlling the will of life. I believe Darkseid may have obtained some important intelligence from us, which is why he's focused his attention on us." Stephen discussed the power Darkseid possesses. "And this power he possesses can even have a certain effect on those with psychic protection."
"Where's Serenity Blue?" Luke asked suddenly without thinking.
Nick, driven by the tacit understanding they'd forged during their business dealings, immediately understood what Luke was referring to. He replied, "Tranquility Blue is still effective. It was thanks to it that we were able to discover and control the two puppet agents. But their power is stubborn, and Tranquility Blue can only neutralize it, not completely eliminate it. So, I wonder if S.H.I.E.L.D. could allocate some higher-purity Tranquility Blue crystals?"
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. You can go directly to Becky and borrow her pet. White soul-catching monsters are the natural enemies of this kind of power. They cannot be controlled or restricted by all conventional energies, and can help life absorb and eliminate this kind of control state." Luke waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to go through so much trouble.
"So, how do you think we should deal with the hidden danger of Darkseid?" Nick said with a headache: "A large part of all the energy on our side has been intercepted. Obviously, it has fallen into Darkseid's hands."
"Originally, this was a matter of the Energy Bank, but now you know full well that Mephisto and his men are having a blast in Azeroth. We thought we should let you know about this first."
"If possible, can I borrow Becky's White Soul Reaper? If it's there, I can bring Father Odin or Thor with me to take care of this matter," Stephen made a request. In his opinion, as long as Darkseid's Anti-Life Equation was contained, and one or two powerful allies, along with Wayne and others from another world, could be brought in to fight Darkseid and his army.
"Of course," Luke said nonchalantly. But knowing Becky, he knew she'd probably join in the fun. She'd long wanted to catch a few wild djinn to play with. If there ever was a dimensional petting zoo in the universe, Becky would most likely be its owner. Only she would relentlessly collect and capture those bizarre and dangerous dimensional creatures as pets.
"You can mobilize some demon legions, mercenary legions from the Nine Realms, and some biological weapon legions from Heberon to help." Luke said and added.
"That's great!" Stephen and Nick breathed a sigh of relief. Although both were shareholders in the Energy Bank, the power of each shareholder was distinct. Only Luke could command and wield their power without rebuff in the absence of the majority shareholders. After all, the very foundation of the Energy Bank rested on Luke's energy and technological expertise. Under this subtle influence, both Mephisto and Dormammu were happy to honor Luke.
Otherwise, what if there is a problem with the abyss seal in your home?
"Forget it, I'll give you another layer of insurance." Luke thought about it and decided to add another layer of insurance cautiously.
"What?" Nick stepped into a sudden portal behind him and waved to them from the other side, urging them to follow. After a moment's pause, the two curiously followed through, arriving at Luke's collection room, which they had just left. Of course, it was another section within the collection room.
The space portal disappeared behind them. They stared at the empty space with only three walls, waiting for Luke's next move.
The sound of metal parts grinding and turning could be heard, and the wall in front of Nick and the others rumbled open like two doors. A tall giant was sleeping with his eyes closed.
The giant was so tall that Nick and the others, standing beneath it, felt like tiny insects. Even though Nick was no longer considered a normal human, the innate fear of the powerful persisted. The sleeping giant before him gave Nick the same suffocating feeling he'd experienced facing dimensional demons like Mephisto.
This shows that the other party's life level is high enough!
Stephen's senses were even sharper. He could even sense the earth-shattering, vast energy contained within the giant's body, as well as its incredibly tough frame. Driven by a keen mage's intuition, he even doubted whether his Ring of Raggador, at full power, could pierce the giant's seemingly rough skin.
"God Series Uranus!" Luke called out the giant's name behind them. "Of course, it has nothing to do with the one in the universe. It's a series of weapons currently used to deal with high-level wars like the Dimensional Demon. Perhaps even more powerful than the legendary Celestials. It can be said to be the essence of all life in the universe."
It has been endowed with some of the characteristics of the Azeroth Star Soul. Of course, it's controlled. You can take it with you. I believe its strength should be enough to help you deal with any emergency. If even it can't withstand certain events, then I think it's difficult for you. At least, in the final critical moment, it can give you some hope of escape."
"Can't you say something nice?" Nick and Stephen were a little dissatisfied with Luke's words. How could they fail again and again?
"What are its abilities? Could you please explain it in detail? Or, how can we control this giant?" Nick gazed at the massive creature, his eyes filled with fondness and a reluctance to let it go. As the king of spies, he naturally had a fondness for objects that represented combat power. If it could bring him a strong sense of security, all the better.
"What abilities does it have? You shouldn't be asking that. You should be asking, 'What abilities does it have?'" Luke smiled, correcting Nick's question. "It possesses every superpower you can imagine. Including time and space. You can even think of it as a collection of Infinity Stones, unrestricted by the universe. You don't need to distract yourself from controlling it. It has enough intelligence to assess the situation and make the right decisions. All you need to do is tell it where the enemy is."
