American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

114. Overturning the Tables.

"Will this method work?"

Standing alone in the room, Alex spoke slowly, as if talking to himself. As his words fell, the room once again fell into a silent atmosphere. However, this silence did not last long. In just a few breaths, Miss Minutes 'jumped' out of the air.

"There are no previous records in the archive related to this, so it's still uncertain. But, this is the best method we have so far, isn't it?" Miss Minutes stood on Alex's shoulder, smiling. Perhaps because he was infected by Miss Minutes's smile, or maybe because he had confidence in this plan, Alex also smiled slightly and nodded. "Yes, this is the best method, at least for the multiverse."

The two of them quieted down, peacefully watching the sunset outside the window, just like when they first arrived in this universe, in the same position, with the same sunset. However, everything was different. After a moment of silence, Alex asked, "Have you determined the specific timeline anchor point?"

"It's already been determined. Although there isn't much time and I can't record all the files of this timeline, I have identified a historical moment in this timeline that hasn't been contaminated."

Miss Minutes quickly answered.

"According to your plan, if we travel back to that time and change history, perhaps we can create a pivot point, splitting this timeline so that at that moment, a branch appears, giving birth to two completely different parallel universes: one contaminated and one uncontaminated."

Yes, this was the best solution Alex had thought of. Since he couldn't eliminate the contamination of this universe, he would go the other way and split this universe in half, retaining an uncontaminated world!

This idea was inspired by that strange cocoon. Since the opponent's goal was to invade reality by using a contaminated reality to cover another untouched main universe reality, Alex could use this to peel off the already occurred reality from this universe.

With this in mind, Alex had Miss Minutes secretly record this universe. Fortunately, Miss Minutes's rank was high enough that her recording did not attract anyone's attention, not even the entity parasitizing the timeline. After paying a sufficient price, Miss Minutes finally found that absolute time anchor point!

"The required energy is a lot, right?" Alex murmured.

"30%, not much, but we can't guarantee the safety of the parallel universe. That requires too much power, and in this matter, I can't help you." Miss Minutes shook her head, but she quickly added, "Perhaps magical energy could."

"Maybe, but to complete such a grand spell, my abilities alone are far from enough." Alex's gaze locked onto the sunset, silently watching it gradually descend below the horizon.

Splitting a timeline was by no means an easy task. After all, Alex had just experienced a Flashpoint universe split, so he became more cautious about altering timelines. To accomplish this plan, it was necessary to find unpolluted history. Initially, Alex was worried that the entity parasitizing the timeline might contaminate the entire timeline. But to Alex's surprise, the entity did not contaminate history but instead contaminated the future!

Whether it was cognitive contamination of reality or killing Spider-Man 2099 in the future, that unspeakable entity showed no intention of meddling with the already occurred history. It didn't even cast its 'gaze' on history. Alex was puzzled by this move but quickly understood the opponent's goal.

Because the entity's ultimate target was the main universe, and the layer of reality it aimed to cover was also the main universe's future reality. To achieve this better, it would not modify any previous history to make the fusion of the two realities easier.

Don't forget, what is the history of the All-New, All-Different Universe?

That's the Secret Wars 2015!

When the All-New, All-Different main universe was born, parallel universes based on it started to emerge. This period of history is the 'foundation,' something that absolutely cannot be affected. Because once history is contaminated, this timeline won't be accepted by the main universe. Therefore, the entity's goal wouldn't be achieved.

So fundamentally, if it weren't for the entity's grand ambition, it wouldn't have left such a big flaw for Alex to discover. So, as long as he could find a way to travel to that uncontaminated history and change its course to create a new timeline, then, in a sense, he would have 'saved' this dying universe. But, this was easier said than done. Unlike the Flash's brute force approach to altering timelines, Alex had to use much greater power to maintain the stability of the new timeline.

This meant Alex didn't want to change the development of this universe, as that could easily cause a 'Flashpoint Paradox.' If the heroes that should exist didn't, it would also significantly impact the future development of this universe. Alex's goal was to copy and paste this universe, except that the villains wouldn't have the idea to brainwash Deadpool, nothing more.

And this required an enormous amount of energy. Even if Alex held an entire ruined universe, it wouldn't be enough, which was Alex's main difficulty. Perhaps, if he used the great powers that exist in this universe, like the Cosmic Cube, Infinity Stones, and other transcendent treasures, he might be able to achieve this grand goal. But things weren't that simple. After all, the cocoon parasitizing the timeline was still there. Although it might disdain to scrutinize the ants in this universe, it wasn't a fool.

Its attention should currently be on Kara and Doctor Strange, but once Alex actively touched those powerful entities in this universe, it would inevitably attract the cocoon's attention. At that time, Alex's entire plan would fall apart.

Things had progressed to this point because Alex had hidden well without being detected. But if Alex were discovered by the entity, his plan would naturally be exposed, and then the entity might abandon its invasion of the main universe and instead contaminate the history of this universe. In such a mutually destructive situation, Alex would no longer have any hope of saving this universe.

"Have you come up with a good idea?" Miss Minutes blinked.

Alex was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Can you still observe those anchor points at the borders of hell?"

"Of course, although these dimensions are separated, once an anchor point is recorded, it will always be under the observation of the time controller."

"That's great." Alex's mouth curled up.

"Open the portal. I'm going to turn the tables!"
