Chapter 1259 U.C.L. - Genesis (6)
[Target location locked]
[Switching to manual landing mode]
To guard against any sudden or unusual actions by the two on the ground, Tin Foil Hero chose to manually control the landing, which would make it easier for him to respond in a timely manner.
"When I open the hatch in a moment, you two be careful..." Tin Foil Hero said to his two companions behind him while controlling the joystick, "That's the most vulnerable moment for an attack."
"Don't worry, I'll block any attack." The next second, Captain Crapstar, standing behind Tin Foil Hero, replied confidently. After saying that, he turned to Doctor Eternity beside him and said, "Doctor, after the hatch opens, I'll go first, is that okay?"
"Of course." Doctor Eternity's attitude was always so gentle, elegant, humble, and polite.
With the three of them in agreement, the spaceship had already landed ten meters or so in front of Feng Bujue and Benbu.
Before long, the hatch opened.
Captain Crapstar slowly walked down the steps, followed closely by Doctor Eternity.
"Oh... friendlies..."
Although the uniform Captain Crapstar was wearing at the moment was different from what Feng Bujue remembered, the latter recognized him at a glance.
After all, the captain's height of over three meters, V-shaped torso, and muscular physique... were all very unique. Even if his mask and tights had changed a bit, it wouldn't affect his recognizability.
As for Doctor Eternity... he was originally an Earthling, and he didn't wear a mask at all, so Jue-ge could just recognize his face.
"Hey! Great!" Benbu also quickly recognized these two members of the Ultra-Union Supreme Committee. He greeted them happily and walked forward, saying, "You're here to pick us up..."
"Please stand there and don't move, sir." Unexpectedly, Benbu's words were interrupted by Captain Crapstar's cold tone before he could finish. He even adopted a defensive posture.
"Huh?" Benbu was also stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted. "Oh... right, right, you probably don't recognize me, I'm a newbie..." As he spoke, he reached for the hero ID card in his pocket. "My title is Park..."
However, just as Benbu spoke halfway and his hand only reached halfway, his words and movements stopped simultaneously; as if... he had been frozen by some kind of force.
"Doctor, you've misunderstood him." Seeing this, Feng Bujue finally spoke. "He didn't intend to reach for a weapon."
"Oh? You know me?" Hearing this, Doctor Eternity stepped out from behind Captain Crapstar and replied.
At this moment, the short staff in the Doctor's hand was emitting a faint blue light, which was clearly the cause of Benbu's stiffness.
"Yes," Feng Bujue replied. "But I can see... only I know you, and you don't know me. Moreover, you seem to harbor some hostility towards us."
"It's normal to be hostile..." Doctor Eternity continued. "Disrupting the order of time is one of the most serious crimes in the universe. Facing villains who have committed such crimes, we don't intend to solve the problem by 'reasoning'."
"The 'criminal' you're talking about has already escaped before you arrived," Feng Bujue reacted quickly. Based on the situation in front of him, he immediately thought of a response. "We are heroes who have been tracking him all the way here. The one you've frozen... he was just about to take out his ID to show you."
"Is that so..." Doctor Eternity murmured. "Then... you don't mind if we take out that 'ID' ourselves and verify it, do you?"
"Heh... of course not," Feng Bujue smiled easily. "Be my guest."
As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Eternity gave Captain Crapstar a look. The latter nodded immediately, then strode to Benbu's side and carefully felt around in the pocket of his coat.
"What is this?" Captain Crapstar picked up the hero ID card printed with the words "Park Hero" and glanced at it, murmuring.
"Hero ID card," Feng Bujue replied.
"Hero... ID card?" Captain Crapstar asked doubtfully. "I've never heard of such a thing..."
"Is that so..." Feng Bujue, based on the reactions of the two so far, had basically deduced that he had come to the "past." Therefore, he continued, "Then I guess... you've never heard of the term 'Universal Super Hero Alliance' either?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the expressions of Captain Crapstar and Doctor Eternity changed.
Of course, since Captain Crapstar was wearing a mask, Jue-ge couldn't see his expression change, he could only see his burly body tremble...
"Where... did you hear that name from?" After a few seconds, Doctor Eternity asked tentatively.
"I didn't just 'hear' it..." Feng Bujue replied. "I... and this 'Park Hero,' are both heroes of the Ultra-Union." He paused and added, "If I'm not mistaken, the era we're in should be your 'future,' so you don't know us and have never seen a hero ID card; in the future, this card is something that every Ultra-Union hero has. And you two are members of the 'Ultra-Union Supreme Committee,' all the heroes in the alliance know you."
His words caused both Doctor Eternity and Captain Crapstar to fall silent.
Feng Bujue didn't know that, at this point in time, the Ultra-Union had already been established.
However, at this time, the Ultra-Union was not a public alliance, but a "secret organization," a secret hero team that had only been established for less than two months (Earth time).
This team was composed of ten top superheroes from all over the universe, namely: Frog Hero, Tin Foil Hero, Black Hole Queen, Doctor Eternity, Captain Crapstar, Thousand-Eye Hero, Poison Hero, Million-Bug King, Lucky Hero, and Mr. Low.
On weekdays, all ten of them carried out activities in their original areas of responsibility. Only when they encountered a crisis of B-level or higher (although many systems were not perfect, the crisis level had already been set at that time) would they gather together to form a team to deal with the crisis.
And right now, they had rushed over with three people from nearby because they had detected that a time tunnel had been opened on Warm Ocean Planet.
"What's your name?" After a full thirty seconds of silence, the broadcast from the spaceship rang out.
"You're Tin Foil Hero, right?" Feng Bujue recognized the voice. He first stated the other party's name, and then continued, "I'm Poker Hero."
"Hmm..." Tin Foil Hero thought for two seconds. "Based on the existing information, it's indeed highly likely that you and your companion are from the future, but the issue of your identities... and how much of what you're saying is true and how much is false... this requires further verification."
"Understood," Feng Bujue replied. "Because we're from the future, we have an advantage in the amount of information we possess. It can't be ruled out that I'm using some information that everyone in the future knows to deceive you."
"Since you understand, then... I think you're willing to cooperate with our instructions, right?" Tin Foil Hero quickly continued.
As one of the smartest people in the universe, Tin Foil Hero naturally knew how to take a step-by-step approach in negotiations to gain benefits.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, quickly take us onto the spaceship and then leave this planet as soon as possible," Feng Bujue also spoke frankly, raising his voice to respond, "No one wants to drag things out until the super-gravitational spin breaks out, right?"
…………
Twenty minutes later.
The "Tin Powder" spaceship carrying the group had already left the range of Warm Ocean Planet and entered automatic navigation mode after a warp jump.
At this time, after Feng Bujue's detailed (logical) explanation (forced), he and Benbu had basically gained the trust of the heroes, and their hands and feet were no longer restricted.
"Hmm... no wonder I found you unexpectedly weak when I probed your energy..." After listening to Jue-ge's account, Doctor Eternity couldn't help but sigh. "The sacrifice the two of you made this time was too great."
"Yeah!" At this time, Benbu's emotions finally couldn't help but explode. "I've practiced hard for decades, but in the end, I've gone back to square one... If I had known this would happen, why would I have become a hero! If I had continued sleeping in the park, I wouldn't have encountered such a thing!"
"What does it matter... you still have the Tiangang Disha Box." Feng Bujue replied very easily. "I think it's good that you got rid of all your previous messy skills. You can just start from scratch and practice some superior martial arts."
"Uh..." After being reminded by Jue-ge, Benbu remembered, "That's right!" He shouted excitedly, "Hahaha... that makes sense!"
Here's an explanation: the unlocked Tiangang Disha Box can be switched between cube and tablet states at will; and Benbu had already turned the box back into a cube and stuffed it into the storage space located in his throat before going to participate in the hero test.
Therefore, even if Benbu could no longer return to his original era, the ultimate skills were still with him; for this martial arts fanatic, as long as he could continue to cultivate... it really didn't matter which era he was in or which park he slept in.
"I say... Poker Hero." Just as Benbu was grinning foolishly, Tin Foil Hero looked at Jue-ge with a serious expression and said, "Is this really okay?"
"What 'this' are you referring to?" Feng Bujue asked.
"The matter of you and us intersecting," Tin Foil Hero said.
"Oh... that matter," Feng Bujue said. "Of course it's not very good." The conversation between him and Tin Foil Hero belonged to the kind of "conversation between smart people," and its rhythm was different from ordinary conversations. "But there's no way around it... twenty minutes ago, you guys took the initiative to approach us; and the moment you saw the appearance of the two of us through the spaceship's monitor... the future has already changed."
"Hmm..." Tin Foil Hero pondered for a moment, then said, "That's right, from the moment I saw you, the situation in which I 'didn't know you' when I met you in the future has already changed; because... with my brainpower, I won't forget a meeting that took place just fifty years ago."
"However, the universe hasn't been destroyed because of this, has it?" Feng Bujue replied with a smile.
"Yeah... there are two possibilities," Tin Foil Hero nodded in agreement. "First, the moment you and Doctor Didi arrived here, our timeline has already become a branch that is different from your space-time. No matter what you do here, it won't cause a space-time paradox... because the two lines are parallel."
Hearing this, Feng Bujue took over the other party's train of thought and said, "Second, what we do here has already led to changes in the future, but so far, these changes haven't led to the impact of 'the future us being unable to come here'; in other words, the future can be changed, as long as the changes are made outside the scope of forming some obvious paradox."
"Then..." Tin Foil Hero thought for a few seconds, then asked, "Which situation do you think it is?"
"I still want to ask you, but you're asking me instead..." Feng Bujue responded, "Unless a paradox really forms, or it's verified through some kind of 'experiment,' no one knows, right?"
"Oh..." Tin Foil Hero spread his hands and said, "I thought you guys in the future would have precedents for dealing with this kind of event."
Feng Bujue understood that the other party was actually testing and trying to get information, but he didn't care much, because he really didn't know: "If there were precedents, why would I be talking about this with you here? I would just tell you what the setting is."
"Hmm..." Hearing this, Tin Foil Hero fell into deep thought again.
And Feng Bujue took advantage of the situation to gain the dominant position in the conversation: "It's useless for you to think about this now, anyway, both settings work for Doctor Didi... Under the first time setting, he only needs to use the intelligence advantage of another timeline to conquer the universe on this timeline; and if it's the second setting, he also has a way... Doctor Didi only needs to capture the past 'himself,' and fix his physical state, memory, and thoughts to the state before he traveled through time, and then, at that specific point in time fifty years later, throw this self into the time rift... In this way, a 'time loop' centered on him is established, and everyone, everything, and every object that is affected by him will be corrected or erased in this double loop."
"He's right." Hearing this, Doctor Eternity said to Tin Foil Hero with a solemn expression, "We no longer have time to think about other things... Even if the greatest crisis that Doctor Didi has caused in the future world is only C-level (enough to destroy a planet), but the moment he travels through time... the consequences he can cause are undoubtedly S-level (a catastrophic event that could lead to the extinction of all intelligent life in the universe); In my opinion... we should immediately summon the other seven people and devote all our energy to this event..."
