Chapter 252 Secret Wars
Yang Le lightly twirled his fingers, as if sensing some kind of change on his fingertips.
"Someone has been playing with Time?" Yang Le frowned deeply. "But when was it? And for what purpose?"
Perhaps because he doesn't often transform into Clock King, Yang Le only now discovered this change. But this isn't Yang Le's fault. Although the Omnitrix can transform the Wearer into other Races, the Wearer's Thought process remains the same.
For example, even though Yang Le has transformed into Clock King now, and although his Personality might be slightly affected, his Thought patterns are still fundamentally Human. He might subconsciously ignore some Alien physiology or characteristics, or simply act according to Human Thought patterns.
Just like Ben Tennyson, even the strongest mage would be turned into a melee brute by him, perfectly demonstrating what it means to say, "Wouldn't it have been better to use the red Form from the start?" Don't misunderstand, I'm talking about Four Arms.
And then there's the classic Crystal Hero. Ben Tennyson doesn't even know he can Flight. Moreover, according to Diamond King Kong, Crystal Hero has a bunch of Abilities that Ben doesn't know about.
Yang Le is pretty much in this State now. Counting this time, Yang Le has transformed into Clock King three times in total. Let's not talk about the first time. The second time, Yang Le's attention was focused on the enemy during the battle, so he didn't notice. And the third time, like the first time, was mostly investigating things, and the Environment was relatively peaceful. It's probably because of this reason that Yang Le was able to discover these changes.
"Playing with Time?" Miles widened his Eyes. "Wow, that's a Big Event."
"Big Event? Indeed." Miles' words reminded Yang Le. Big Events in Marvel often involve plots of playing with Time.
Although the scope is narrowed down, there are still many Choices. It can be said that every Big Event has such an occurrence. Whether it's the heroes or Villains, when faced with indecision, they always choose to Time travel first, and it's never wrong.
For example, when encountering powerful enemies that cannot be defeated, whether heroes or Villains, most of the time they will choose to travel back to the past, to deal with the opponent before they have grown strong, solving the Problem from the Root Cause, saving Time and effort. Why not do it?
Just like the X-Men, such plots often appear. "Days of Future Past" and the classic "X-Men '92" both have such Plots.
'Hmm?' Yang Le suddenly frowned. X-Men? "Days of Future Past"? Yang Le felt like he had discovered the key to the matter.
But if things are really as Yang Le thought, then all the combat Power he currently possesses would not be enough. According to Yang Le's estimation, only Alien X would be able to stop this Crisis.
"That's right, indeed only Alien X can stop this Crisis," Gwenpool chimed in from the side.
"What?" The other Spiders immediately focused their Line of Sight on Gwenpool, especially Miles, who almost jumped up like he did in the Subway Tunnel. Although he suppressed this embarrassing Action, Miles still subconsciously leaned towards Ultimate Peter.
"Who are you?" Gwen noticed the similarities between Gwenpool and herself, and asked with a frown.
"Hello!" Gwenpool saluted. "My name is Gwen Poole. You can think of me as a Parallel Universe version of you, and also..."
Gwenpool pounced on Clock King's body. The cold, metallic touch made her shiver subconsciously, but she still insisted on hugging him and said, "And also, I'm Habby's number one Fans."
Gwen looked at Yang Le. Even with the mask, the people around could feel that her expression wasn't very good. But she wasn't an unreasonable person, so Gwen decided to ask clearly first.
Gwen looked at Yang Le and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
"Simply put, this Gwen knows all of us very well for special reasons." Yang Le grabbed Gwenpool, who was clinging to him, and lifted her up in his hand. "Not just me, she knows everyone here very well."
"That's right, meow!" Gwenpool responded to Yang Le's words with a Meme, but except for Yang Le who understood, everyone else just thought she was acting cute.
"Alright, Gwenpool." Yang Le waved Gwenpool in his hand a few times, stopping her antics. "What did you mean by what you just said, that only Alien X can solve this Crisis?"
"It's the literal meaning." Gwenpool let her limbs droop limply, as if amusing herself with something. "Actually, you've already guessed it. Just like you thought, the upcoming Big Event is—Secret Wars!"
To strengthen the Power of her Language, Gwenpool even specially took out the Dialogue Box that appeared when she spoke just now. The font on it was specially Art Font, and the colors were very rich.
Clearly, it's a Crisis for the entire Marvel Universe, a Big Event, but when Gwenpool said it, there was no sense of Crisis at all, just like an ordinary Soccer game that doesn't involve refunds.
But that's also true. Gwenpool really doesn't need to worry about this Crisis. When a Crisis occurs, she can directly return to the Real World and will not be affected. This is also one of the sources of Gwenpool's playful attitude towards the Mortal Realm. No matter what Crisis you have, at worst, I'll just hide, and I'll come back when everything has settled.
"What the heck is Secret Wars?" Shadow Spider adjusted his hat. "Looking at your State, Habby, this lively little girl shouldn't be lying, right?"
Indeed, just like Shadow Spider said, Yang Le's expression in Clock King State has become "(*_*)". It's clear at a glance that he's very troubled.
"Simply put, it's a group of Gods who want to conduct an Experiment, and to do so, they need to destroy all Parallel Universes." Gwenpool answered Shadow Spider's question one step ahead of Yang Le.
"But those Gods look like they have a lot of Style/Prestige, but in reality, they are just a bunch of Clowns, not worth fearing at all." Gwenpool waved her hand, indicating that they are all Worthless.
Although Gwenpool spoke very lightly, Yang Le could not agree with her Idea. Indeed, the initial BOSS Beyonders in Secret Wars became a bunch of jumping Clowns after the patch.
But relying on the Gold Coins dropped by the old man Lost One, the Strength of the Beyonders at this stage is real. Although they still can't compete with the Main Body of abstract entities, they have indeed reached the top ten, even top five, in terms of Strength in the entire Marvel Universe.
Of course, not all Beyonders are this strong. The distribution of inheritance is also a matter of allocation. Among the Beyonders, the most difficult to deal with is Ivory King. Beyonders of this level can send Celestials back to the rebirth chamber.
Ivory Kings/Viruses of a lower level are not so outrageous. As for Mapmakers, they are even weaker. Most Heroes in Marvel can deal with them, and they are not even within Yang Le's consideration.
But killing more of these cannon fodder is useless. If they can't get past the Ivory King level, this Big Event, which is all thunder and little rain, still cannot be resolved.
Yang Le knocked his head in headache. For rich third generations like the Beyonders, who are born well and rise to power by relying on the Gold Coins dropped by the old man, you have to admit that they are still very difficult to deal with at this stage.
