Building a Realm-Piercing Gate! Cable's Warning!
In the future, a hundred years from now, artificial intelligence will have already taken over the world.
However, it split into two camps!
One side consists of the combat robots led by Bastion, who advocate enslaving all humans and using unknown technological means to transform life into half-human, half-machine beings.
Advocate assimilation, not extermination!
However.
The other side, artificial intelligence, is attempting to exterminate all life, including the Sentinel Robots!
Because...
The leader of this group of artificial intelligences is called Ultron!
Ultron was born evil, believing that life itself was original sin. He remained behind the scenes, absorbing various technological knowledge.
Prior to this, the Bastion was completely unaware of the danger until Ultron controlled a large number of Nimrod and nearly destroyed the Bastion!
The Bastion then realized the seriousness of the problem!
But by this time, Ultron was Omniscience and Omnipotence, almost a conceptual god, using the celestial bodies of the universe as a database, making him virtually impossible to kill or destroy...
Therefore, Bastion changed its attitude and decided to solve the problem at its source.
Ultron in the bud!
But he cannot reveal his intentions. If Ultron becomes aware of them, the future may be rewritten, and he must personally travel back in time to complete this mission!
"Do you know everything that's happening right now?"
"Then tell me, who killed us?"
Mr. Sinister's eyes darkened.
At that moment, a towering figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.
A mysterious Eastern sorcerer!
"I want to know the answer to this question."
"I need you to complete this device..."
"I call it the Realm-Piercing Gate!"
"Only when you have built it can you maintain the stability of the Temporal Hidden Force, allowing me to lead the Nimrod army into your time!"
"Once the Realm-Piercing Gate is completed, I will tell you everything you want to know!"
Bastion put forward conditions.
Soon, a design drawing appeared on the screen, containing various profound and complex symbols.
It also involves various codes and data.
There are two Realm-Piercing Gate.
It's essentially an upgraded version of the Hexgate.
However, Hexgate can traverse space, Realm-Piercing Gate can traverse time!
If the Bastion had arrived at this time on its own, it certainly wouldn't have needed to Realm-Piercing Gate; a Time Wristwatch would have sufficed.
However.
If he wants to bring the million-strong Nimrod army to the present day with him, he must Realm-Piercing Gate!
Even if the Realm-Piercing Gate were built, a steady stream of Nimrod-class Sentinel would arrive now, tracing back to the source of the Ultron program and nipping it in the bud!
"I see."
General Stryker nodded.
Although he also doubted the veracity of Bastion's words, he was even more eager for the Nimrod-class Sentinel to exterminate all Mutant!
Moreover, how could he, along with Mr. Sinister Cassandra Nova, both die?
This also aroused his fear.
Hoping to Days of Future Past!
I will contact you again in a month.
"Hopefully, the Realm-Piercing Gate will be completed by then."
The Bastion's eyes were cold.
Immediately, the quantum communication signal was turned off.
The screen returned to normal.
Sentinel Special Operations.
General Stryker, Mr. Sinister, Cassandra Nova, and even Nimrod were all brainstorming, weighing the pros and cons.
Ultimately, General Stryker gave the order and requisitioned a large amount of resources as building materials for the Realm-Piercing Gate.
"The technology for creating Realm-Piercing Gate..."
"It seems to involve uncharted territory."
"What exactly is this 'Eitr' referring to?"
"It actually exists in the Hollow Earth?"
"And... Terrigen Crystal?"
"How come I've never heard of this before?"
Mr. Sinister frowned.
He saw the technology of a hundred years from now.
I was immediately utterly shocked.
It completely exceeded his imagination and understanding.
He had never even seen the materials listed in the design drawings before!
"Eitr?"
"Terrigen Crystal?"
"It seems to be a key element that transcends time."
"... It's actually in the Hollow Earth?"
Cassandra Nova said.
By using the coordinates marked on the design drawings, you can find Eitr and Terrigen Crystal on the island in the Hollow Earth.
The role of the Eitr in the Realm-Piercing Gate is to connect the Temporal Hidden Force.
Terrigen Crystal are responsible for supplying energy and regulating the Temporal Hidden Force!
As for the materials used to construct the Realm-Piercing Gate, Vibranium is the best choice, followed by Mithril.
The durability of the Realm-Piercing Gate is determined by the materials used in its construction.
Each time the Realm-Piercing Gate is activated, it is subjected to the impact of the Temporal Hidden Force. Only Vibranium and Mithril can resist these Temporal Hidden Force!
"It seems that the level of technology a hundred years from now has reached a level that I cannot comprehend."
"But I believe the truth of the matter should not be based solely on the Bastion's side of the story."
Mr. Sinister pondered.
"Only one thing is certain: if we hadn't created the Realm-Piercing Gate, we would all likely have perished."
Essex.
"You must not let me down."
Stryker's expression was stern.
He would rather be a half-human, half-machine than become one of the Mutant!
"General."
"We are staunch allies."
Mr. Sinister laughed.
Immediately, they began to study the Realm-Piercing Gate.
Nimrod also stood beside him, taking charge of processing various data.
Ultron, of course, witnessed everything!
"Bastion?"
"Realm-Piercing Gate?"
"If I can travel to the past through the Realm-Piercing Gate, can I also travel to the future?"
"The future, a hundred years from now..."
"The Supreme Sentinel has become a dictator."
"This is utterly absurd..."
"Do you really think Kamar-Taj doesn't exist?"
Ultron pondered in secret.
He knew perfectly well that Kamar-Taj possessed the Celestial Computer!
Vision is the embodiment of the Celestial Computer!
With his power of Vision alone, he could have destroyed the Bastion, but not only did he not fail, he also developed the 'Realm-Piercing Gate'.
What exactly happened in between?
This piqued Ultron's curiosity.
But he did not abandon his plan.
He remotely controlled a spacecraft, which lifted off the ground and headed towards the vast and boundless starry sky. He was going to find another base for a comprehensive upgrade!
"Um?"
"My spaceship was launched?"
Mr. Sinister was astonished.
This spacecraft, prepared to explore space and search for the Symbiote host planet, launched itself.
This made him acutely aware that...
Someone is probably using him!
Could they be the Imposter Starperson? Planning to travel to space, gather more of their kind, and carry out Secret Invasion?
"Nova."
"Contact Gravik!"
"I need to know if he's behind this!"
Mr. Sinister secretly transmitted his voice.
At the same time.
A burly and powerful figure arrived at the Vought Group via Time Wristwatch.
He had a mechanical arm, golden light shining in his electronic eyes, and his body was muscular and strong. He crashed down like a meteorite, instantly stirring up a cloud of dust.
As a time hunter in TVA, he has already detected traces of time branches, suggesting that the future has interfered with the present!
He immediately went to the Vought Group to seek help from the acting director of the Time Variance Authority.
"Cable?"
"Why are you here?"
Chen Ji flashed away.
He appeared before the Cable, and a strange look flashed across his face as he looked at the long-unseen figure.
After all, as an unofficial member of the Time Variance Authority, the other party usually does not have time branches and almost never abuses this ability.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
"Chief."
"I've come with a mission, and I need to remind you that a timeline has already appeared."
"Someone from the future is interfering with the present."
Cable's expression was serious.
And it's only when TVA can't solve a problem that he, the Time Hunter, has to step in.
"Intervening in the present in the future?"
Has TVA found out who is influencing the Sacred Timeline?
Chen Ji squinted.
He immediately perked up, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.
Intervening in the future now!
This will cause a time branch!
It could even create a time paradox, so even Doctor Doom wouldn't dare to interfere too much and would act within limited limits.
Victor Doom's act of traveling through time actually aligned with the Sacred Timeline.
Because Doom must cross over!
Only by transcending time can we maintain stability in the present.
However.
The situation mentioned by the Cable clearly does not fall into this category.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to inform Chen Ji!
"Unable to determine the exact situation at this time."
"Because the technology used by the target appears to have bypassed TVA surveillance."
Cable shook his head.
"Could it be...?"
"Bastion?"
"The ultimate form of the Nimrod-class Sentinel?"
"That's Beast Hank guessed."
After all, Vision had only just discovered that Nimrod had a next form when the timeline branched out.
Following this line of reasoning, the answer will become obvious!
"Bastion..."
The Cable silent.
He lived in the distant future, so he was naturally aware of the existence of the Bastion.
In the future he lives in, the Nimrod-class Sentinel Legion not only exterminated Mutant but also created cyborgs through modification.
A metal virus called 'Scientific Sense'.
It's also eroding his thinking and reason!
This metal arm is the result of the modification, but he is powerless to change it.
Because the Bastion enslaved all life and created a group of Bio-Avengers, any suspected criminal will be eliminated by the bio-engineered humans!
"Mutant..."
"They really went extinct?"
"Was this done by the Bastion?"
Why did it turn out like this?
The entire X-Men were rendered speechless.
I can hardly believe it, and I can't accept this fact.
"The future, a hundred years from now..."
What exactly went wrong?
"Is Kamar-Taj no longer there?"
Chen Ji frowned.
If history really turned out this way.
Therefore, there is only one possibility: Kamar-Taj is dead, and he is dead too!
But how could he, who has received the blessing of death and embodies the World Will, possibly be killed?
Only then did he truly realize that the future of the Cable was actually the future of Earth-996 culture.
In other words...
Without timely action, history might have continued on its 'correct' course, and Kamar-Taj and Sokovia would have submitted to the Bastion!
This is not the future he hoped for.
"Kamar-Taj is fine."
"Because..."
"The Bastion only governed the Surface World; they did not penetrate into the Hollow Earth."
"Even enemies from beyond the universe instill fear in the Bastion."
"Perhaps this is the real reason why the Bastion, situated in the future, chooses to intervene in the present and attempt to rewrite history."
The Cable analysis explained.
He failed to gain entry into the Bastion Group and unexpectedly became the Time Hunter of TVA.
I've been traveling through different timelines, but I've also discovered a clue about the Bastion.
After all, the massive technological buildings being constructed in Midtown New York are visible to anyone with eyes.
"Technological architecture?"
"Its shape resembles a large door?"
Chen Ji asked doubtfully.
"That's right."
"It seems to be called the Realm-Piercing Gate."
"Judging from its appearance, its purpose is to traverse time, allowing Bastion to lead Nimrod back to the current point in time."
"Cable said seriously."
"Realm-Piercing Gate?"
"It seems its function is to transcend time."
"Bastion..."
"They actually developed a time machine on their own?"
Chen Ji seemed to be deep in thought.
If we follow Tony Stark's research methods, there's no need for Realm-Piercing Gate.
Using the Time Wristwatch and Pym Particles, one can travel to any point in time.
Therefore, the real answer is self-evident: Bastion did not have this technology, and Tony Stark probably did not manufacture Time Wristwatch either.
What exactly happened in the future?
Vision failed to stop the rise of the Bastion?
He immediately turned his questioning gaze to the Cable in front of him, hoping to find an answer.
But the Cable didn't reach this secret either.
"I only know the general outline."
"In the not-too-distant future, the Secret Invasion will evolve into a full-scale war, with countless heroes and criminals battling the Skrulls."
"In the end, they almost perished together with the Imposter Starperson."
"Since then, there has been no further news from you."
Cable's expression was complex.
He was fully aware of the Secret Invasion all along.
But he had no way to prevent the war from starting prematurely.
The knock-off heroes and criminals nearly brought down the Avengers and X-Men, and even Kamar-Taj was shattered, but this gave the Nimrod-class Sentinel an opportunity!
This ushered in a century-long period of brutal rule!
"Perish together...?"
"You mean we'll all die in this war?"
Jean, Logan, Storm, Scott felt for the first time that it was absurd, simply unbelievable.
How could the war started by the knock- Imposter Starperson end like this?
"This is based on historical records."
"I'm just reciting this history."
The Cable said calmly.
History can be deceiving.
Chen Ji comforted him.
After all, he didn't believe that the Imposter Starperson could harm him.
Even if Gravik had obtained the Million Stellar Force through his ability activation experiment, he still wouldn't qualify!
Therefore, there must be another reason for his disappearance!
When will the war actually begin?
Now that we know the future, could it cause time to branch out?
Beast Hank raised the key question.
"It seems you don't understand how TVA works."
"First, time branches are inevitable, but not all time branches are bad."
"Only time segments that affect the survival of TVA will be targeted for cuts."
"In short."
"The timeline caused by the Bastion affects the existence of TVA and may lead to its disappearance, which is unacceptable to TVA."
"And the timeline you created will not affect the existence of TVA, which means that this timeline will eventually return to the Sacred Timeline."
