Brainiac looked at Chen Mo thoughtfully, but did not answer.
He raised his hand, and a large area of blue light suddenly shone from the spaceship's core. The motherboard area, which had been invaded by the black and red substance, immediately showed up with densely packed decompiled runes.
[Start the low-level decompiler.]
[Target: Unknown biological information entity.]
[Analysis Targets: Virus, Consciousness, Energy Carrier.]
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow.
"Quite professional."
The next second, the entire green data stream contracted simultaneously, transforming into dozens of sharp beams of light that sliced through the black and red substance.
The tentacles of Blacklight rapidly split apart.
Some entangled the code, some pierced the motherboard, and some even transformed into countless tiny virus particles, drilling deeper along the data interface.
Two forces were clashing violently inside the mainframe.
Every time Brainiac's decompiler removed a layer of the Blacklight structure, Chen Mo would immediately sprout more tentacles. The analyzed virus fragments did not disappear; instead, they rapidly recombined during data sharing.
"You want to tear me apart?"
Chen Mo's consciousness continued to penetrate deeper into the motherboard.
"You should update your antivirus software first."
Brainiac's eyes finally showed a slight change.
This creature has no fixed structure in its body.
Its consciousness can be transferred, its cells can recombine, and it can even be digitized. If it continues to entangle itself, the entire core database risks being permanently infected.
But just as he was about to cut off the external interface, Chen Mo had already seen the scene deep inside the spaceship through data sharing.
It was a massive storage facility.
Numerous life support pods were neatly arranged in the darkness, their interiors filled with a dark green liquid.
Chen Mo's consciousness quickly swept over the life support pods, and his expression slowly became strange.
"This is..."
In the first life support pod, lay a figure in a blue uniform.
In the cabin next to it was another figure in a different colored uniform.
Later on, there were versions with capes, wings, and even completely different body types.
They all share a common symbol.
Justice League.
Dozens of different versions of Justice League members were sealed in life support pods. Some had already lost vital signs, some were still breathing slowly, and a few pods had a faint red light inside.
"You collect this stuff?"
Chen Mo's voice came from the mainframe.
" The Justice League gift pack, or a limited edition across the universe?"
Brainiac immediately disabled shared access to the reserves.
But Chen Mo had already memorized the general situation inside.
Those different versions of the members mean that Brainiac may have already defeated and collected dozens of universes.
This guy isn't here on vacation.
He really does go around tearing people apart and then categorizing and collecting them.
Brainiac stared at the expanding black and red infected area, and after a brief calculation, made a decision.
He was very interested in Chen Mo.
This viral organism, possessing independent consciousness, has extremely high research value.
But the collection in the reserve is even more valuable.
We must not allow a new target to damage other samples.
"Disconnect from the contaminated area."
Brainiac finally spoke.
Chen Mo immediately realized the other party's intention.
"Want to cut off the tail?"
The Blacklight tendrils suddenly turned, frantically entangling the massive main data packet beside them. A large amount of access data, energy records, and spatial coordinates were simultaneously dragged into the black and red substance.
Brainiac remained silent.
The entire memory area suddenly detached from the main brain.
Immediately afterwards, all the energy stored within was forcibly detonated.
boom!
Chen Mo's consciousness was instantly engulfed by a blinding white light.
The black and red tentacles tightly entangled the data packet, still managing to salvage a portion of its contents. However, the power of the underlying data explosion was too great, and the communication channel connecting to the motherboard began to collapse inch by inch.
Brainiac seized the last opportunity and completely severed the interface.
Chen Mo's consciousness was abruptly ejected.
New York Sanctum.
Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes in front of the floating magic array.
The Ancient One raised her hand to retract the now-golden magic lines and looked at him calmly.
"You failed?"
"How is that possible?"
Chen Mo flexed his fingers, and the dark red substance slowly receded from between his fingers.
"He blew up the power lines; he was pretty decisive."
The Ancient One looked at his palm.
"What did you get?"
"Several spacecraft energy structures, partial spatial coordinates, and a catalog of collectibles."
Chen Mo grinned.
"The toll was a bit low, but it wasn't a wasted trip."
The Ancient One.
"Entrusting the Earth to you is indeed reassuring."
"What did the old monk say? He offered it to me willingly."
Chen Mo said seriously.
"I just went in to say hello, but he insisted on giving me something, and I couldn't refuse his kindness."
The Ancient One glanced at him and did not continue arguing.
Wakanda.
With the robot forces completely incapacitated, the combined forces' counterattack immediately became much easier.
Tony led dozens of unmanned combat suits in a swooping descent from the sky, precisely destroying the remaining energy nodes. The Helicarrier re-locked onto ground targets, unleashing wave after wave of suppressive fire.
Hulk grabbed a robot and smashed it a few times. Once he was sure it wasn't moving anymore, he casually tossed it aside.
" Hulk, smash!"
Steve raised his shield and led the exoskeleton soldiers toward the palace.
The palace gates were tightly shut.
Steve didn't slow down; he slammed his shield down directly.
With a loud crash, the door dented instantly, and the latch at the back snapped.
After the second impact, the heavy door collapsed completely.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the joint armed forces swiftly surged into the palace square.
T'Chaka stood on the steps, looking at the guards who had laid down their weapons around him, then glanced at the smoking battlefield in the distance, and slowly raised his hands.
" Wakanda, cease resistance."
Steve caught the shield that flew back and walked up to him.
"Rest assured, we are not here to occupy this place."
Tony fell from mid-air, his shoulder armor still smoking.
"Of course, our main purpose is to retrieve the soldiers you detained, and also to check how much illegal equipment you've hidden in your basement."
T'Chaka's expression was rather grim.
"You should know that those robots couldn't have been made by Wakanda."
You'd better write that in your report.
Tony pointed to the scrap metal scattered on the ground.
"Because they almost tore apart my new armor just now, and the materials for this armor are ridiculously expensive."
Steve glanced at him.
Didn't you say the materials would be free?
"Please, the materials are free, but the repair costs aren't."
Tony said matter-of-factly.
Several temporary tables were quickly set up in the palace square.
Representatives from the coalition forces, the Wakanda royal family, and S.H.I.E.L.D.. took their seats. Fury joined the remote conference, with data showing the restoration of the global defense network displayed on the screen behind him.
T'Chaka looked at the documents laid out in front of him, his expression gradually becoming serious.
These include the handover of missing troops, the sealing of underground weapons depots, the review of energy networks, and a formal agreement for Wakanda to join the global defense system.
This is not negotiation at all.
T'Chaka put down the documents.
"These are the conditions you've already drafted."
Fury, with a cigar dangling from his lips, spoke expressionlessly.
"You can also call it a post-war cooperation plan if you like."
What's the difference?
"The former sounds like a threat, the latter sounds more civilized."
Tony leaned back in his chair and casually flipped through the agreement.
"Old King, stop worrying about the name. Your family almost sent all of Earth's military data to aliens just now, and you're already being treated like royalty by sitting here drinking water."
T'Chaka looked towards the main control room.
The green chips there have been completely devoured by the black and red substance, and the traces left by the traitor have been sealed off.
He remained silent for a long time before finally picking up the pen in front of him.
Wakanda accepts the cooperation.
Tony breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, thankfully no one tried to trigger the self-destruct mechanism during today's meeting."
Fury looked up.
You'd better not jinx it.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud bang came from afar.
Everyone turned their heads at the same time.
Tony's expression froze.
I take back what I just said.
Outside the palace, Hulk held up a tattered piece of robot armor, looking at everyone with an innocent expression.
" Hulk, that was an accident."
