Chapter 313 Corpses Under the Ruins (1/2)

"Friday?"

Pressing his neck to put away the helmet, Tony looked around at the foggy and silent city around him. He couldn't help but frown and asked the artificial intelligence built into the nanosuit.

"...Zizi...I'm sorry...sir..."

After a brief silence, Friday's intermittent answers came from within the suit.

"I can't connect...this world...Zizi...the network...has been converted to local mode..."

As the voice of artificial intelligence fell, the original intermittent voice became smooth again.

However, from Friday's response, Tony has obviously noticed that something is wrong.

"No one else was found."

Rumble——

The Storm Ax in his hand turned into thunder and fell to the ground again. Thor, who entered the dimensional channel first, shook his head at the Avengers.

"It seems like this is not our destination."

Looking around, Captain America Steve frowned and said.

Although the buildings on the ruins were very similar to the New York in his impression, Steve still saw some differences in some details.

"Mr. Stark, what do I seem to have discovered?"

At this moment, Spider-Man Peter's voice sounded.

Walking in the direction of the sound, everyone soon saw Peter's figure in front of a collapsed ruin.

"I originally planned to take a look around to see if I could find any useful clues, but I saw this here..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Peter took off his mask, revealing a slightly pale face, and said as if he was frightened.

As his words fell, Tony and others saw a ferocious corpse with a bird's head in the collapsed ruins in front of them.

"Vision."

Frowning at the deformed corpse in front of him, Tony spoke to Vision beside him.

Immediately afterwards, Vision appeared in front of the corpse, stretching out his arms to clean up the gravel that was pressing on the opponent's body. As these stones were cleared away bit by bit, the full picture of the corpse gradually appeared in front of the Avengers.

Although most of the bones of the opponent's body were reduced to flesh and blood by the collapsed rubble, from the appearance of the corpse, everyone could still vaguely see the long vulture-like head and two pairs of sparse feathers on the back. wings.

After clearing away the last stone that was pressing on the body, Vision looked at the corpse in front of him, the gem on his forehead shining slightly.

"Based on the analysis of the skeleton and muscles of the corpse, he should have been human before death."

The gem on Vision's forehead, in addition to being able to emit lasers, also had certain clairvoyance capabilities. He quickly came to a conclusion after scanning the corpse in front of him.

"You said this guy is human?"

Hearing Vision's analysis, Tony couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The bright bird's head and the feathers on its back don't look like what humans should look like.

"From an anatomical analysis, most of his body structure is closer to that of humans. Even the brain inside the bird-like head structure has obvious characteristics of the human brain."

As a cyborg, Vision has a very correct understanding of the human body.

"It's just a man with a bird's head. What's so strange about him."

Compared to Tony's surprise, Thor's performance was more calm. He even looked at the figure with a pointed beak with a normal expression, and said in a rare and strange tone: "Such a guy. , I saw him countless times when I was fighting in Asgard. Don’t forget that guys like this appear occasionally in your world.”

The guys like Thor refer to those superheroes and villains who mutate due to various accidents.

Even if we take it seriously, the Avengers in front of us alone have three beings that are obviously different from ordinary people.

Neither Vision, who is a cyborg, nor Peter, who has spider abilities, can be considered a normal human being, let alone the Hulk after his transformation, and he is not even remotely related to ordinary people.

It's just that compared to the guy with the bird's head in front of them, they are more fortunate to be closer to normal humans in appearance.

"If it's just one or two, there's obviously no problem."

At this moment, Colin, who had been silently observing this world, spoke.

Under the gazes of the Avengers, he came to the ruins where the corpse had been crushed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Along with a bit of cold air, visible frost instantly froze the ruins together. Then Colin stretched out his arm and exerted a little force, and the entire ruins were lifted by him. stand up.

Although this was not the first time to witness Colin's ability, the expressions on the faces of the Avengers couldn't help but be a bit stunned when they felt the power of [Super Power] at such a close distance.

"However, this corpse is not the only one that has problems in front of us."

In their surprised eyes, Colin's voice sounded slowly, calming down the shaken hearts of Tony and others again, and they looked along the raised ruins.

I saw that buried under this collapsed ruins were a large number of corpses with the same deformed appearance as the previous bird-headed men.

Some of the skins of these corpses were stacked on top of each other again and again, like Shar-Pei dogs, and some were pitted like humanoid toads. Some of them looked no different from ordinary people on the surface, but their hands and feet had obvious marks. It has tentacles that only animals have.

These strange corpses overturned Saul's previous statement.

With so many corpses of different shapes, the Avengers clearly understood that this was obviously not the world they were looking for.

"So, are these guys humans too?"

Retracting his gaze from the corpse in the flesh mold lake under the ruins, Banner subconsciously asked Vision beside him.

"That's right."

The latter also nodded calmly and gave him a positive reply.

"What's going on here, Strange?"

Sensing the anomaly in this world, Captain America Steve couldn't help but look at the silent and dark Doctor Strange.

"Apparently our key opened the wrong door."

Facing Captain America's inquiry, Dr. Dark Strange waved his palms to form complex magic arrays in mid-air, and replied with a frown.

"We already know this without you having to tell us."

Tony obviously didn't buy this answer: "There is no such guy with a bird head or toad skin in my world."

"Theoretically, this situation is impossible to happen. The selection of dimensional channels is an extremely complex magic. I found the connecting channel based on the dimensional power left by the previous world, but there seems to be something wrong in the process. Some unknown force interfered with the location of the passage..."

Using the magic of Weishan Emperor to elevate oneself from the material world to a higher dimension, Dr. Dark Strange analyzed in an absolutely rational tone.

"Unknown power?"

After hearing Dr. Dark Strange's analysis, Colin's eyes subconsciously glanced at the words representing the fragments of the Time Stone.

【Time Gem Fragments (2/9)】

If it is correct, the unknown power mentioned by Dr. Dark Strange should be the fragment of the Time Stone on his body.

Even from the strange corpses under the ruins, Colin vaguely understood the truth of the world.

"Be careful, someone is coming!"

Throwing aside the frozen abolition in his hand, which made a huge rumble and vibration, Colin reminded the Avengers in front of him.

Standing firm amid the vibration, he heard Colin's reminder. He was still discussing the alert state that the Avengers immediately entered.

Tony pressed his chest, and the disappearing nanoparticles once again wrapped his face to form a helmet. Peter also put the Spider-Man mask in his hand back on his head, and turned his head to point in the direction Colin pointed.

Turning the Storm Ax in his hand, none of the Avengers showed any doubts about Colin's reminder.

And the fact is exactly what he said.

Just a few minutes after Colin finished speaking, a figure in tattered clothes jumped down from the sky above the foggy city and appeared in front of the Avengers.

Peng——

"We don't have any malicious intentions, sir, we just accidentally appeared here because of some accident..."

Looking at this sudden figure, Captain America Steve put his shield on his chest and said hello to the figure.

"Invaders... kill... all... intruders... damn..."

However, Captain America's idea of ​​communication obviously failed. Facing his explanation, the figure just muttered something in his mouth.

Then he raised his head, and the Avengers in front of him finally saw each other's appearance clearly.

Like the corpses that died in the ruins, the man's appearance was also very different from ordinary people. His face was covered with dense spikes, making him look like a humanoid hedgehog.

"So, are all people in this world like this?"

Looking at the man in front of him whose face was occupied by spikes, Tony in the nano suit couldn't help but complain.

"Intruder...die!"

On the other side, after letting out a crazy shout, the man also put his hands on the ground, jumped up like a toad, and suddenly rushed towards the Avengers on the opposite side.

Peng!

Facing the man in front of him who launched an attack regardless of the situation, Tony raised his arm and fired an arc pulse cannon from the palm of his hand, instantly sending the man flying away.

"It seems that the other party does not welcome us so much."

Seeing the man flying backwards, Tony under the nano suit raised his eyebrows and said something.

】

"It's not him, it's them."

However, the moment Tony finished speaking, Colin on the side corrected him again.

Under his [Super Vision], he could see a large number of figures with very different shapes approaching towards the direction of everyone.

"them?"

Hearing Colin's correction, Tony subconsciously turned to look at him.

"careful."

The moment Tony turned his head, a man with sharp fingers suddenly emerged from the ground beneath his feet.

Rumble——

Raising the storm ax in his hand and knocking the opponent away fiercely, Thor reminded Tony, who was also covered by thunder.

"Perhaps, I can handle the situation just now."

Controlling the nano suit on his body to stabilize his body in mid-air, Tony looked at the attacker who was burned by the electric current and the nano suit that was quickly replenished on his chest, and couldn't help but say to Thor.

"Don't thank me, this is what I should do."

In response, Thor held the battle axe and replied in a deep voice.

"I'm not thanking you."

Under the helmet, Tony said a little dissatisfied with Thor's attitude.

"Okay, Tony, now is not the time to argue with Thor."

Captain America's words interrupted his complaints.

With Steve's reminder, Tony under the nano suit had to restrain his emotions and turn his eyes to the ruins around him.

A large number of figures appeared around the Avengers in the fog. They looked strange, most of them had obvious animal characteristics, and some of them looked like humans, but the expressions on their faces were obviously not normal.

"Intruders... Kill..."

Looking at the Avengers in the ruins with a distorted face, being stared at by so many crazy eyes, even Tony couldn't help feeling a little creepy in his heart.

"Mr. Stark, I'm a little scared..."

Swallowing his saliva, the spider sense in his body frantically gave a reminder, making Peter's heart beat rapidly.

"Relax, kid."

Controlling the nano suit behind him to transform into a nano shark cannon and aim at these figures, Tony comforted Peter below.

"Everyone, do you need me to take action?"

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere around him, Banner asked.

"Not yet."

If it was under normal circumstances, facing so many opponents, Captain America might have sent out Hulk a long time ago.

However, his eyes fell on Colin on the side. Although Steve's expression was solemn, he was not too worried, because there was a more powerful helper in their team.

"Is it really a mutant?"

Sensing Captain America's gaze, Colin's expression did not change at all.

On the contrary, from these very different faces, he could basically judge that the world he and the Avengers entered should be the world that Apocalypse had ruled before, as shown in the previous picture of the Time Stone, a world that belonged entirely to mutants.

There is no doubt that this is also the power of the Time Stone fragments.

"So, are these ruins left after the battle between Apocalypse and Thanos?"

Because it was just a flash of the picture, it did not show the battle process between the two too clearly. Now that he came to this world in person, Colin was able to see how much damage was caused by the battle between Apocalypse and Thanos.
