The report of Uatu is like a low but penetrating bell, echoing in dimensions beyond mortal understanding. The "attention" of Watchers Council, an absolutely neutral supervisory organization composed of the oldest and most intelligent beings in the universe, was officially directed to Universe-616, the Earth, and the individual named Xiao Han for the first time.
The "convening" of the parliament is not a gathering of people somewhere, but a synchronization of consciousness, an instantaneous exchange and processing of information. Countless observation data from different universes and different dimensions are retrieved and analyzed at this moment. All known information about Xiao Han - from his arrival in Empire State Building to the casual erasure of alien spies and silent A. I. M. experiments - are all placed under absolutely rational scrutiny.
The evaluation process was short but extremely efficient. The conclusion was quickly reached:
Confirmation: The existence of the individual "Xiao Han" is indeed an extremely high-risk variable for the stability of local reality.
Confirmation: Its behavior pattern cannot be predicted by conventional logic, its motivation is highly internalized, and its response threshold to external stimuli is uncertain.
Confirmation: Any form of direct intervention has a very high probability of triggering an uncontrollable reality paradox.
Resolution: Adopt the suggestion of Uatu and upgrade the observation priority of the Universe-616 earth sector to the "Omega" level. Launch the "Silent Eye" protocol to conduct uninterrupted, multi-dimensional deep reality structure monitoring of the individual and the surrounding environment. All observation data are directly uploaded to the parliamentary core database.
Warning: All Watchers strictly abide by the highest principle of "never interfere". Any violation will result in the immediate deprivation of observation privileges.
The moment the decision was made, an invisible but extremely huge "attention" came. It was not the gaze of a specific existence, but the cold, pure, recording gaze from the entire Watchers Council system.
This kind of gaze has no emotion, no good or evil, and does not bring any pressure, but it seems to subtly highlight the target area from the background of the entire universe and place it under an invisible magnifying glass, scanning and recording at the molecular level or even the quantum level.
The "visibility" of the Earth, this ordinary blue planet, in the vast flow of cosmic information has been instantly raised to an unprecedented level.
The first to feel this change are still those beings who are extremely sensitive to energy and dimensions.
New York Sanctum, Strange and Wang felt a slight dizziness almost at the same time, as if the foundation of reality under their feet fluctuated for a while, and then quickly stabilized. The magic circle guarding the temple shimmered on its own, and emitted a low whistle, detecting an ultra-high-level "observation" power whose source could not be identified and whose nature could not be understood. However, it was not malicious and did not touch any magic protection, as if it was just... passing by.
"Again?!" Wang said in surprise, "This time it feels... bigger and more... objective?"
Strange's face was solemn. He tried to use Eye of Agamotto to trace the source of this observation power, but he only saw nothingness and more complex dimensional barriers. "This is not a peek into a single existence... This is like a... system? A mechanism?" He felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance, as if he was just a piece of code written into a huge database.
For the first time, Asgard, Heimdall's eyes showed true confusion. His vision, which could see through Nine Realms, was unable to "see through" the invisible layer of "Veil of Observation" shrouded outside the earth at this moment. ". He could see the earth itself and the people and things on it, but he felt that the planet was wrapped in a layer of extremely pure but absolutely isolated Crystal. All the details were infinitely magnified and recorded, but could not be touched.
Wakanda, Princess Shuri's "Deep-Space Echo Amplifier" sounded a piercing alarm, and then the core Vibranium crystal emitted a plume of smoke due to the instant overload of information flow.
"Wow!" Shuri screamed in distress and hurriedly cut off the power supply, "What is this?! The information flow is as strong as a waterfall falling down from the Milky Way! The direction... the direction is all directions! It seems that the entire universe is looking at us!"
When T'Challa and Okoye heard this, their expressions changed dramatically. The whole universe?
The monitoring equipment of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Stark once again experienced a brief data storm, with various sensor readings jumping randomly, and then inexplicably returning to normal, as if it was just a strong solar wind interference (although the solar activity was calm).
"Friday? What happened again?"
"Unknown global strong information background radiation impact, which lasted for 0.5 seconds and has now subsided. The source cannot be traced and the nature cannot be analyzed."
Tony·Stark felt weak. He felt like a primitive man trying to measure the eruption of a volcano with body temperature.
And Xiao Han, who was at the center of this invisible "Veil of Observation", finally for the first time, visibly frowned and sat upright.
That feeling... is very, very wrong.
All previous snooping, whether it was Kree's, the Collector's, Shi'ar Empire's, or even those scattered dimensional glances, all carried some kind of "intention" or "emotion" - curiosity, greed, vigilance, malice... They are active and "living".
But the "attention" that is shrouded at this moment is completely different.
It has no source, or in other words, its sources are scattered in countless directions, everywhere and nowhere to be found.
It has no emotions and is as cold as the absolute zero-degree void.
It has no intention, is neither friendly nor hostile, it is just... recording. Recording everything in detail.
This extremely pure and lifeless "observation" wraps him like an invisible but airtight film, penetrating into the time and space around him, recording every flow of his energy, and even every microscopic vibration of the sand beneath him.
This is no longer the annoyance of being disturbed by buzzing mosquitoes.
This is a deeper discomfort - as if I have become an exhibit placed in a museum glass cabinet, being scanned, analyzed, and filed from head to toe by countless invisible, cold eyes.
He hates this feeling.
Very annoying.
He raised his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate the atmosphere and space, trying to find the source of the invisible gaze. But what his Super-Senses fed back was a vast "information vacuum" without any specific direction, as if the entire universe itself had become a huge, emotionless monitor.
A faint red light flashed in his eyes, and the surrounding space structure began to make an overwhelming hum. The sand grains on the beach floated automatically without wind.
He wanted to do something, he wanted to tear this damn "membrane" apart.
But where is the target? Where to attack?
This feeling of having nowhere to focus caused the dissatisfaction in his heart to accumulate rapidly.
In the end, he just "hummed" in great displeasure. The sound was low but had a strange penetrating power, causing the surrounding sand particles to instantly Oblivion into the most basic particles.
He lay back on the chair, but he was no longer as completely relaxed as before. His body was in an extremely subtle state of tension, like an enraged lion that couldn't find an opponent and could only suppress its anger.
The invisible "Silent Eye" protocol from Watchers Council is still running non-stop, recording his subtle reactions and incorporating them into a huge database for analysis.
The purpose of the parliament is not to provoke, but only to observe and record. But their existence itself, this absolutely neutral, absolutely cold "observation", has already constituted an unprecedented and indescribable "distraction" for Xiao Han, who is extremely self-centered and pursues absolute comfort and control.
Outside the distant dimension, Uatu calmly recorded the target's reaction. "The target has a significant rejection reaction to the 'Silent Eye' protocol. Its perception can penetrate dimensional barriers, confirming that it is also sensitive to non-emotional and systematic observations, and its tolerance is extremely low."
New data streams feed into Parliament Core.
And the other Watcherss on the earth, whether they are Shi'ar, Wakanda or S.H.I.E.L.D., were horrified to find that the existence that had always been lazy seemed... to become a little irritable.
This is an extremely dangerous signal.
The eye of the storm fluctuated for the first time because it was "observed".
Unknown variables begin to breed greater variables.
