Chapter 325 Professor X
Seeing Tony, who had just returned from such a horrific parallel universe, begin to accelerate his lifespan through various means again, Joey was speechless.
"This is pretty much hopeless."
Batman, who had almost completely blended into the shadows, chimed in, "Agreed."
Joey, who was wearing a celestial accessory, waved his hand to decline his good friend Tony's invitation, but didn't forget to make a few more disparaging remarks about Batman:
"Will he really become Doctor Doom? Or will he ruin himself by indulging in a life of debauchery before that happens?"
?
Joey turned around, only to find that Batman had already vanished without a trace.
Batman, who hasn't had a break in his two lifetimes, is probably busy with something else again.
After all, the current situation is far from over, and there are still many unresolved issues waiting for our side to clean up.
It's true that they've taken down Ultron, but to be honest, Joey really wants Ultron's mechanical planet that can conjure up an army of millions of drones in the blink of an eye. He needs to figure out a way to retrieve it by tomorrow.
And what about Ant-Man, who was turned into a robot by Ultron and is waiting for his fate?
In the past, Cyborg could have helped investigate and, once he was sure there was no risk, he could have been released. But the problem is that Cyborg's location is still a very dangerous place.
Under the yellow sunlight, the Kryptonian army is strong enough to directly repel the main force of the Green Lantern Corps, leaving the Oa Guardians helpless. With so many Kryptonians in such a large group, even Galactus or Ultraman would probably have to take a couple of slaps if they were to be present.
Doctor Doom was the same; although he was sealed into the Dark Dimension by the Ancient One's self-sacrifice, he still left behind just as many problems.
Just figuring out how to get the Ancient One back from Dormammu's clutches is a huge problem, not to mention that Tony's condition is also somewhat problematic, and no one knows what kind of impact those recurring memories will have on him.
After much thought, Joey realized that the problem weighing on his mind was indeed like a nested doll, with one link after another connected. If he hadn't stolen Deadpool's time watch in the first place, he wouldn't have had to suffer all this.
Okay—this was just a joke. Complaints aside, things still need to be addressed.
After finally managing to detach the Galactus from his body and kick it out of the atmosphere, Joey headed to the secret base where the three of them were located, and unsurprisingly, he encountered Batman, who had just arrived in via a hidden elevator.
Batman, who had just left, looked up and saw Joey, who should still be in Stark Tower, wandering aimlessly in the base lobby. He frowned and roughly understood what was going on.
Joey, who set off later than Batman, raised an eyebrow at the late-arriving Batman—"Super Speed, kid."
Batman spoke first, asking, "What are you doing here?"
Doing shady things in a dark, secret base seems completely out of character for Superman.
Even if Joey, the Superman we know, is not quite the same as the one Batman is familiar with, he's still not cut out for this.
And that was indeed the case; Joey simply shrugged and said, "I don't know~"
The current situation is that there are many things to do, and Joey is in a hurry, but he is just anxious and doesn't know where to start being anxious.
"Then why don't you go find a place to sunbathe?" Batman unbuckled his multi-functional bat belt and started tinkering with it. Finally, as if remembering something, he mentioned the whereabouts of the Mind Stone to Joey:
"The gem you entrusted to me for safekeeping was eaten by your girlfriend who's always clinging to you."
"What?!" Upon hearing this news, Joey was horrified and jumped ten thousand feet into the air, pulling Galactus back from outer space.
Ganata, who was scooped back to the ground, looked like she hadn't woken up yet, and even seemed to have low blood pressure: "What are you doing?!"
After spending a long time with Joey and absorbing enough energy, she was well-fed and ready to fall asleep in outer space.
Being innocently sent back to Earth, it was impossible not to be angry. He immediately left two rings of teeth marks on the edge of Joey's hand, causing the latter to cry out in pain.
I don’t know if it’s just Joey’s imagination, but lately his relationship with Ganata seems to be getting more and more like that of an unlucky pet owner and a rebellious pet.
Joey, who almost drew blood, pretended to have been bitten by a dog, shook his hand off, and immediately went to pinch Ganata's cheek:
"Where's the Mind Gem?! Spit it out!"
Does this silly kid even know what the Infinity Stones mean?
Those are fragments left over from existence before the creation of the universe, representing the ultimate power of this universe.
Collecting all six Infinity Stones is equivalent to gaining the lowest level administrator privileges in this universe, which is even more useful than collecting all seven Dragon Balls.
Joey doesn't seem like some kind of simp for the Goddess of Death or some purple-sweet-chinned guy. He doesn't have any particular obsession with collecting the Infinity Stones, and he's not in a hurry to snap his fingers and de-urbanize the entire universe.
However, based on Joey's experience of being beaten up in the Flashpoint universe, the timeline of Tony's unfortunate universe is based on the unusual historical event of Ant-Man Hank Pym being assassinated by Wolverine.
The future universe is likely to be fraught with danger, and we never know when we might need the Infinity Stones. We can't let Galactus digest them like candy!
"Okay, here you go, you little rascal!"
In the end, Ganata could not resist Joey's persistence and gave in. The Mind Stone shone from her fingertips and was buried in Joey's cloak.
After handing over the Mind Stone, Ganata took advantage of Joey's inattention and bit him on the neck again, causing him to fall over.
"Not to be rude." After a satisfying meal, Ganata left, and Batman dragged Joey, who was completely burned out and just about to transform, under the fluorescent light:
"I would never snatch food from a hungry dog."
"Shut up!"
After the humanoid black hole, Galactus, left, Joey, whose biofield had stabilized and recovered, dismissed Batman in a huff, turned over, and took out the two gems from his body to examine them closely.
Before he knew it, he had almost collected three of the six Infinity Stones.
A green Time Stone, from the Ancient One who perished alongside Doctor Doom.
A golden Mind Stone, from Loki in the beginning and Ultron later.
There is also a dark blue Space Stone, which was taken by Ultron after passing through Loki's hands and is now lost. However, Ultron's lair is there, and it is only a matter of time before it is found.
"I can help you find it."
As Joey was carefully examining the gleaming golden Heart Gem, a sentence suddenly rang in her ears.
The tone of the speaker was completely unfamiliar, like that of a kind and elderly man. Joey was certain that he had never met such a person in his life.
"Who?" Super vision scanned the entire underground base but couldn't detect anything unusual. Floating in the air, Joey was ready to make his move at any moment.
Even Batman, who was just about to leave, was startled by Joey's commotion and pricked up the bat ears on his mask, ready to deal with any attack from an unknown source.
Although the ultimate purpose of building any secret base in the world is to be secretly invaded, how come dangerous elements who can hide from Superman's eyes have broken in so quickly after this place has only been built for a short time?
"No, I didn't break in; you brought me in."
The Mind Gem on her fingertip glowed faintly, and following that tiny, inexplicable feeling and guidance, Joey turned her head to look at the corner of the secret base.
There was a jar of brains soaking in a nutrient solution.
This is something Loki gave up to save his life. He also seems to have said that Ultron used it to achieve the perfect cloning of those superheroes.
With Ultron's technological reserves, physical problems are relatively easy to handle, but mental problems will be a challenge.
In the comic book universe, Vision was created by Ultron himself, but he ultimately could not control Vision's mind, resulting in Vision completely siding with the Avengers.
So whose brain could help Ultron overcome the crisis?
The answer is self-evident: "Charles Xavier?"
"That's right. If you don't mind—could you allow me to borrow a little more of that gem's power?"
"No problem, but only a little bit."
With Joey's permission as the holder of the Mind Stone, and through the resonance of the Mind Stone, Professor X projected a phantom image of a person in a wheelchair in front of Joey:
"It's been a long time since anyone called me that. They usually call me 'Professor X'."
