Chapter 2419: Battle between Bats (Twenty-nine)
David was silent for a long time. He said, "So this is all a scam?"
"Of course not. Remember that we became best friends after that? Actually, I just wanted to see you, but I didn't expect that we would share a common secret by accident. I had to continue living there for a while, but later on, something happened in my time that required me to go back. I apologize to you again for leaving you."
Everyone watching was shocked.
"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused." Strange stretched out a hand and said, "Franklin Richards is the son of Reed Richards, but now Reed has never married and has children, and David is an adult, and Franklin said that the two of them are friends?"
"Franklin can travel through time." Stark has already figured out the order. He said, "It should be that Franklin in the future timeline wanted to meet David for some reason, so he traveled through time and found David as a child."
"In order to meet David, he disguised himself as a student at a summer camp. As a result, something happened in the summer camp, which accidentally exposed Franklin's disguise. However, this led to a deep friendship between them. They spent a happy time together, but later Franklin needed to return to his own time, so he left."
"Sure enough." Schiller at the desk watched all this through Ultron's broadcast and said, "David's transformation did not begin when the terrorist attack occurred. I'm afraid Franklin's departure was the starting point. But why did Franklin go to see David?"
Charles, who had already withdrawn from the spiritual world, was also watching this scene, frowning deeply and thinking.
Franklin landed again. After a moment of silence, David also transformed from an energy body into a physical body. However, he was not the young man that everyone saw in reality, but a teenager about the same age as Franklin.
"At first I was just a little curious." Franklin said, "The story starts with my mutant ability. It's not a good thing to reveal the future to you now, but I still have to say that I did experience some ups and downs when I was born."
"My energy was so strong that it caused me some trouble. I couldn't control it well, which put me in a vicious cycle of social problems, so my parents took me to see a psychologist."
"That doctor was very good and professional. He helped me solve my problem and we became good friends. At that time, my parents were busy with work and had to travel between several star systems from time to time. When they didn't have time to accompany me, I would often go to play with that doctor... er, I'm getting off topic."
"I would talk to him about many things, from elementary school courses to interstellar relations. I was very interested in some of the stories he told, including one about a patient of his who could split himself into many parts and had a bustling spiritual world."
"It's amazing, isn't it? I really want to know what this spiritual world is like, so I found you."
"But unfortunately, after I found you, you didn't seem to want to play with me, and I couldn't force my way into your spiritual world. That would be too rude."
"So I had no choice but to travel through time to find your childhood self. I thought that this way we could play together. And what I thought was right. We became best friends."
"Wait a minute." Stark said, "If they were best friends in the past, then why did David ignore Franklin in the future? In David's memory, they should be best friends."
"Perhaps it is because of the current situation." Loki analyzed: "Although Franklin said that he wanted to be best friends with David, didn't he leave in the end? This made David's mental state more unstable. It is normal for David to ignore him, right?"
Sure enough, everyone heard Franklin say: "I thought you would remember our friendship after we met again in the future, but you still ignored me. I felt a little sad, so I went to see the doctor again. He said I should come and apologize to you."
"I'm really sorry." Franklin clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and said, "I really had something to do at that time. I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye. At that time, my parents... forget it, let's not talk about them. It gives me a headache when I mention them."
"Although I was just curious at first, I still remember the happy times we spent together. That is definitely not fake, and I definitely did not deceive you in this regard, so can you please forgive me?"
"You said you were entrusted by someone?" David said.
"Oh, that's another matter." Franklin said, "If I tell you what happened, it would be too far-fetched. Anyway, I'll just give you a small suggestion. The personalities in your spiritual world that can manipulate time can unite to catch the Speed Force Death God, and then the problem will be solved."
"Wait a minute." The people of the Glorious Alliance finally came to their senses. Stark crossed his arms and said in surprise: "Franklin said that he went to see a psychiatrist in the future. It was the stories of the patients that the doctor told him that led him to find David. So the question is, who is this doctor?"
"Don't ask questions when you already know the answer." Loki sighed and said, "A psychologist who is very kind to children, very professional, and can also talk about the relationship between interstellar civilizations, and there happens to be a patient who divides himself into many parts. Who else could this person be?"
Everyone sighed in unison.
At this time, Stark had already started roaring into the communicator, "Schiller!! I knew it was you again!!!"
At this time, Schiller was also roaring at the air: "Anatole! Anatoly! Come out! How many times are you going to brag about the fact that you cured me?!!!"
Of course, the air could not respond, so Schiller could only sigh heavily and mutter, "Arrogant really deserves to be your direct disciple!"
This is also a good question for Schiller - a psychologist who is very kind to children, very professional, and able to talk about the relationship between interstellar civilizations, and who happens to have a patient who divides himself into many parts, who else could this person be?
"Listen, Tony, this person is not me." Schiller put one hand on his waist and the other hand on the wall to explain: "I told you before that I had an attending physician, right? That was in my previous life. In fact, he..."
With a click, the call was disconnected. Stark snorted coldly, "Let him make it up himself."
"Should we believe this Franklin?" Strange thought for a moment and said, "I just took a closer look. He does look a bit like Reed, but I suggest not telling Reed this news since you haven't completely dealt with Pepper yet."
"I have long... Well, things have been a little strained between us lately, but I don't really care about her... Let's get off topic. I think Franklin's suggestion makes sense. More importantly, if this matter is caused by Schiller again, then even if we don't do what he says, we will end up on this path. So in order to avoid trouble, let's go straight to the end."
No one had any objection. They were completely used to it. No matter if it was Schiller of the past, the present or the future, as long as it was Schiller, when he wanted to do something, it was best for others not to listen, watch or feel, and just do what they were supposed to do.
"Actually, Schiller proposed a plan to me before." Nick pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Through cloning, that is, highly realistic cyborg bodies, as you know, the research results of Dr. Warren, clones that match the appearance characteristics of the personalities are created, and then through brain wave extraction and transfer technology, the personalities are separated and placed into the clones, allowing them to gain freedom."
"It's just like when we recruited those dangerous criminals. Now there is a shortage of people everywhere. We can always provide suitable positions for these powerful mutant personalities. Even if they have violent tempers and are out of control, at least they can go to the Andromeda Galaxy to open up new areas."
"I knew it." Strange was speechless. He said, "It's obviously Schiller's style. You must have planned all this a long time ago."
"Well, I'm not sure about the future." Nick rubbed his hands in surprise and said, "But the shortage of people is real."
"It doesn't solve the fundamental problem." said Magneto.
"Eric, this kid has over 200 Omega-level personalities in his head." Professor X said directly.
Magneto's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I think this is quite consistent with Dr. Schiller's professional judgment." He gently swept the back of his hand and said, "When will we start to have the spacecraft to the Andromeda Galaxy on standby?"
The transfer work still began, because this was obviously a satisfactory outcome for all parties. David no longer had to endure the mental exhaustion, and he could also see his friends in reality, enjoy their company, and even become their true leader.
Nick solved the problem of lack of people everywhere. He didn't actually need so many powerful Omega personalities. His goal was the vast number of ordinary personalities, which were the backbone of the solar system construction.
Magneto also solved the problem of insufficient power in the Andromeda Galaxy. What he needed was high-end combat power, because he did not intend to start a real war, but only to use nuclear deterrence. In simple terms, he wanted to let you know what kind of capabilities we have. We can smash your home in minutes. It is our kindness that we do not take action. You'd better be more observant and stop harassing us.
Even Asgard may not be able to mobilize 200 warriors of this level. They are a terrifying team that is feared and terrified in the universe. Moreover, their abilities are diverse and comprehensive. They can be said to be a vanguard for mankind to establish an image of military deterrence.
Of course, there is also Batman. In order to deal with a large group of personalities, Schiller basically retrieved all the Batmans that the Dark Knights could get, avoiding their subsequent tragic fate. At the same time, the Batman who had just gained super powers honed his super powers in the process of fighting against David's extremely powerful personality, allowing them to quickly transform from a novice superpower user into a powerful warrior.
And the most important and far-reaching thing is that the Batmans united with their other selves for the first time. Although it was forced by the situation, it was at least a good start. They suddenly realized how powerful the united Batman team is, and they can even fight against those god-like personalities who have the ability to modify reality at will.
This is very important for Batman. It makes them always have an option floating in their minds. That is, when facing an enemy that they cannot deal with at all and have no way out, they still have one last choice, which is to find another self that is most reliable in this world.
Unity, a word that has shone brightly since its birth, was once an empty concept for Batman.
And now, for the first time, they are shrouded in light. Even though it is only a spark, that little flame in the endless darkness will eventually burn fiercely.
