The coming of the disaster was accompanied by a strange color in the sky. It was not dark clouds, but a magnificent but disturbing, ever-changing purple-red aurora that enveloped the entire sky. From this dazzling light curtain, a shimmering "rain" like liquid energy fell.
The objects that this "rainwater" came into contact with were not damaged, but began to undergo strange "Attribute Overflow" events. The metal acquired the growth characteristics of plants and began to twist and branch; the concrete acquired the fluidity of water flow and slowly squirmed; the plants became as hard and fragile as rocks. The rules of physics became blurred and chaotic in this "rainwater".
"The structure of reality is being 'polluted'!" Bruce·Banner exclaimed at the S.H.I.E.L.D. command center, looking at the chaotic data returned by sensors around the world, "An unknown 'Aether Matter' is penetrating our reality and rewriting the physical laws of local areas!"
Nick Fury's single eye stared at the unnatural scenes on the screen. "Source? Purpose?"
"The aurora comes from outside the atmosphere, but the source of 'Aether Rain' cannot be pinpointed!" Maria·Hill reported eagerly, "It seems to be 'Leakage Material' that penetrated from higher dimensions! The purpose is unknown, but its effect is catastrophic!"
The holographic image of Tony·Stark appears, and the armor seems to be making some kind of adaptive adjustment to cope with the changing physical environment. "Friday named it 'Reality Softener'! It reduces the structural strength of reality and makes the laws of physics plastic or even overridden! We cannot predict what attributes will be acquired at the next moment!"
Strange and Wang activated the maximum protection in Sanctum Sanctorum. The golden magic circle struggled to resist the penetration of Aether Rain, but its energy consumption was huge. "This is not a magic attack, more like... a leak of Higher-Dimensional Landfill!" Strange gritted his teeth and said, "Some high-dimensional existence is dumping 'reality waste' into our dimension!"
Avengers once again fell into an absurd and dangerous battle. Not only did they have to deal with the dangers brought by drastic changes in the environment, but they also had to deal with objects and even creatures that became aggressive due to attribute mutations. Thor's thunder and lightning may bring life to a pool of liquid metal, Hulk's slam may make a piece of ground become like a spring bed, and Iron Man's armor weapon system is extremely unreliable due to changes in physical constants.
The world seems to be trapped in a crazy alchemical experiment, and the experimenter has no sense of responsibility.
Malibu Beach.
One leg of Xiao Han's beach chair suddenly began to grow and knot like a vine, while the drink cup in his hand became as soft and swaying as jelly. The "rain" falling from the sky brought with it a "sense of impurity" and "sense of chaos" that he was extremely disgusted with, seriously polluting the pure environment where he absorbed the energy of the sun.
This wanton tampering and "pollution" of the basic rules of reality made him feel like he was in a room full of inferior perfume, unable to enjoy the sunshine with peace of mind.
"The environment is dirty." He frowned displeased. Super-Senses - especially his perception of the purity of reality and the stability of physical laws - instantly locked onto the "Aether Contaminant" that filled the atmosphere and originated from higher dimensions.
In his opinion, this is like clear air being injected with turbid smoke and needs to be purified.
He didn't even think about the source of the pollution, but subconsciously "purified" his absolutely "pure" and "stable" Biological Force Field slightly outward.
It's like an ultra-high-efficiency air purifier running at full power instantly, and like extremely strong germicidal ultraviolet radiation.
"Aether Contaminant", which tried to penetrate and "soften" the structure of reality, at the moment it came into contact with this absolutely "pure" and "stable" force field, its internal chaotic high-dimensional attributes seemed to be neutralized, decomposed, and reduced into harmless basic particles.
The strange aurora covering the world instantly dissipated, and the strange "Aether Rain" stopped abruptly. All contaminated objects stopped mutating their properties. Although permanent weird changes were left, at least stability was restored. The rules of physics regained dominance.
The world was forcibly pulled back from that crazy "Reality Leak" accident.
Avengers stood there stunned, looking at the world that suddenly stopped mutating, and although it was in a mess, it at least returned to "normal" operating rules, with lingering fear.
"The pollution... has stopped?" Tony watched with relief as the armor system returned to normal readings.
"Is it him again?" Natasha wiped away the remaining, now harmless shimmering water droplets on his face, and looked in the direction of California.
Doctor Banner watched as the index representing the stability of reality on the monitoring instrument instantly returned to the normal range, and murmured, "He... he used his own biofield to perform 'Reality Disinfection'? Forcibly purified high-dimensional pollutants?"
Strange felt the restoration of the "solid" reality structure, with a hint of joy in his exhaustion. "For him, maybe he just felt that the 'environment' just now was too dirty, which affected his experience, so he 'cleaned' it."
And at some indescribable high-dimensional level, an ancient existence that was "dumping garbage" at will into the lower dimensions suddenly found that its "sewage pipe" was forcibly blocked and even reversely purified. It curiously "glanced" at this inconspicuous low-dimensional planet and felt an extremely "pure" and "exclusive" existential power.
It shrugged indifferently (if it had shoulders), turned the "sewage outlet" to another universe that was not so "picky", and casually noted in the log. "There is a powerful 'Reality Purification Mechanism' in the low-dimensional universe 'Terra-616'. It is not suitable for processing waste. Blacklisted."
Xiao Han felt that the "clean" and "stable" real environment around him had returned, and the annoying "sense of pollution" finally disappeared. He glanced at the chair leg that had become like a bonsai, broke it off and threw it aside, and replaced it with a new beach chair.
The world finally stops leaking dirty things.
This is good.
As for who is taking out the trash? Why?
He has no interest.
