Chapter 258: Breaking The Maker's Mentality
The Maker stood in the Sky Carrier, in front of several projection screens, taking in the entirety of Yang Le's battle just now. Apart from one screen playing real-time content, the other screens respectively captured the appearances of the alien that Yang Le had just undergone transformation into.
After a quick scanning and calculation, The Maker waved his hand casually, and three-dimensional models of several aliens, including Gutrot, were projected in front of him out of thin air.
The Maker pointed his finger at one of the aliens, and introductions about him also appeared next to the model.
"The message is still too little." The Maker lightly pursed his lips. In his opinion, although the alien hero that Yang Le transformed into now does indeed have some strength, it is still a far cry from Alien X he observed in the Zombie Universe.
Creating black holes casually, and being able to erase it at will, that level of power is far from comparable to the childishly playful battle in front of him.
But this is also good. This at least proves that the other party indeed has many things that he has not yet discovered. Perhaps within these things lies the power he has long been seeking that can prevent the Multiverse Crisis.
The Maker's expression shifted slightly. He zoomed in on one of the pictures, and the Omnitrix occupied the entire screen. He then moved his line of sight to the other models and discovered the Omnitrix symbol in different positions.
"Even an idiot should know where the key point is." The Maker chuckled to himself.
But quickly, The Maker regained his composure. Although he has now confirmed the goal, according to calculations, he is not confident in obtaining it without damaging that small device.
Just by looking at it, he knows that this is a kind of technology he has never come into contact with. If such a delicate equipment is damaged, even he does not have a 100% certainty of completely repairing it. Moreover, he doesn't know when the next collision will come. If a large number of combat forces are lost here, it is very likely that they will be eliminated by other universes.
Besides, it's not just the threat from other universes. Even those "compatriots" in Universe 1610, not one or two of them are easy to deal with. Who knows if they will again pin some charge he hasn't committed on him, beat him up, and then throw him into the prison.
With internal and external troubles coming together, even The Maker feels a bit tired. This further intensifies his idea of wanting to control a universe that completely obeys him. After scheming against humans for a long time, one can realize how reassuring the dog he raises is.
At least dogs know gratitude, while humans never know satisfaction.
Recalling his "good buddies" Ben Grimm and Susan Storm again, The Maker revealed a smile he couldn't hold back. The thousand cuts from outsiders are not as painful as a push from a close person that can make him fall into the abyss.
"Why are you laughing? Did you think of something happy?" An ethereal cold voice sounded. The Maker immediately realized that this could never be a sound made by a living thing.
A drop of cold sweat slid down from his forehead. A light-colored energy shield instantly protected him. The Maker looked around but still couldn't find where the master of this sound was.
Turning on the thermal imager, The Maker finally saw a Ghostfreak-like heat source floating outside his shield. This made him slightly relieved. It seems that although the other party could board his mothership without anyone noticing, they should not have the ability to pass through his shield. Just thinking of the Child of Tomorrow who was possessed, he felt a chill.
"I can observe you." The Maker said calmly. At the same time, he also pressed the call button, summoning the Children of Tomorrow on the mothership over.
"As expected." Yang Le revealed his true form. This is considered a drawback of the Ectonurite transformation of the Omnitrix. Ectonurites themselves do not possess heat, but in order to prevent the wearer from being killed by sunlight, the Omnitrix will generate a second layer of skin for Ghostfreak.
This layer of skin has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it allows Ghostfreak to live in sunlight. The disadvantage is that this layer of skin has heat, and coupled with the Omnitrix itself also emitting heat, the Omnitrix mimicry of Ghostfreak will be completely exposed in front of the thermal imager.
Yang Le felt that the genius Azmuth could definitely solve this problem, but according to his idea, the Omnitrix is not a weapon, so he didn't care about this defect of Ghostfreak.
And Yang Le is not as smart as Azmuth. It can be said that a hundred Yang Les are not as good as one Azmuth. He naturally has no way to solve this problem. And Yang Le does not often transform into Ghostfreak, so he did not ask Valeria Richards if she could solve this problem. After all, Valeria Richards is already the most trustworthy person among the smartest people he has access to.
As for their father Reed Richards, do you want to take a look at The Maker in front of you before saying that? Reed Richards has a bottom line compared to The Maker, but his bottom line is like a joke.
Yang Le still has that saying: if Reed Richards is taken down, the Multiverse can be much more peaceful. Of course, facing other crisis in the Multiverse, there will also be one less tall person who can hold up the sky.
Fortunately, Reed Richards' trouble-making ability is slightly lower than his competence. Otherwise, Yang Le wouldn't even need to take action, and other heroes would have killed him long ago.
"Reed Richards." Yang Le softly spoke The Maker's name. Coupled with the ethereal voice, it was indescribably eerie. The Maker even got goosebumps all over his skin.
"Roll back to your universe, and maybe I can still pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, I don't mind cleaning up this scourge for your universe."
Narrow eyes moved back and forth in the black lines on his body. Several tentacles even drilled out from them, looking as if they couldn't wait to taste the soul of this self-proclaimed first wise man of the universe.
"I think those friends in your universe must be very happy to see your death." Yang Le was just like a demon from hell, sprinkling salt on The Maker's wound little by little.
Yang Le doesn't know about others, but Nick Fury of the Ultimate Universe must be wishing for The Maker's death. Even his 'good brother' might be thinking the same thing.
The corner of mouth twitched slightly. The Maker barely suppressed his rage. Scourge, friend - Yang Le's short few words all stepped on The Maker's landmines. He even wanted to order the Children of Tomorrow to execute him just now.
'He is still useful, he is still useful.' He silently chanted several times in his heart. For the sake of becoming a great thing, The Maker took a long time to recover. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he heard Yang Le on the opposite side speak again.
Yang Le said in a sarcastic tone, "Or I'll kill you now, and maybe your soul can be reincarnated into the child of Susan Storm and Ben Grimm. At that time, you will very likely have the harmonious family you have always dreamed of."
The Maker, who was beaten and scolded by his father since childhood and had his woman taken away by his good brother when he grew up, was stunned in place. He felt like something snapping in his brain.
