The time point is reversed from the future, back to when Schiller successfully came to the kingdom of death.
When Death was busy solving Schiller's problem, that is, when he was busy making harassing calls to Lucifer from overseas, Schiller was not idle either. He kept promoting sales to her in Death's ears.
Although when things got to this point, the main purpose of both parties was to win, but Schiller was idle as well. It would be good if he could develop one more customer, so he began to use all his strength to fight with
Death talks business.
Death completely ignored him at first, but as Schiller changed various negotiation strategies, Death began to be slightly moved. Although he pretended to be completely uninterested, he was still listening carefully.
Finding that Death seemed to be shaken, Schiller became even more enthusiastic. Face-to-face sales were still different from making phone calls. Schiller could use various gestures, graphics and even PPTs and proposals to fully explain his cooperation to Death.
How advanced the method is.
Soon, the two entered the bargaining stage where you were fighting for it. In fact, this stage was the most difficult. Both parties refused to give in, constantly testing the other side's bottom line, and then adjusting their own bottom line in a long tug-of-war.
war.
The two of them were eating and talking about business in the Kingdom of Death. It was very peaceful, but there were some problems at OAA.
Death keeps making harassing calls to Lucifer, and Lucifer keeps making harassing calls to Marvel. The OAA itself has the responsibility to maintain the smooth operation of the universe. Obviously, constantly accepting harassing calls does not fall within the scope of smooth operation.
Therefore, he had to find a way to hang up the phone.
OAA wanted to smash mobile phones, so they gave the task to their subordinates, who in turn handed it over to their subordinates' subordinates. After layers of outsourcing, Galactus' younger brother Silver Glider became a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the Sanctuary.
.
I heard that the Silver Glider and the Galactus behind him wanted to apply for the platinum membership of the Sanctuary. Loki personally went to the battle. The conditions were negotiated and the contract was signed. The only difference was the money. But at this time, Silver Glider
But the reporter said that he wanted to report the budget and ask Galactus for money.
However, Galactus himself is extremely hungry and wants to eat anytime and anywhere without vomiting. This is probably the most difficult boss in the entire universe to budget for, and Silver Glider has no way to extract energy from Galactus's teeth.
The Silver Glider could only skip the report. Fortunately, the Life Tribunal was quite generous. After the budget was approved, the Color Glider successfully became a platinum member of the Sanctuary.
Loki was very happy. The turnover of this order was equal to his busy work this year, and the Silver Glider was also very happy. In his opinion, he could easily find the target without spending his money. This time
The task will be easy.
But at this time, Loki gave him bad news. According to the information told to him by Frigga who was present at the time, Schiller was already dead.
When Silver Glider got the news, everyone was dumbfounded. As far as he knew, his mission this time was to find the target and then let Galactus swallow the target's planet. But now, the target is dead.
, then what is the significance of Galactus in the past?
The Silver Glider didn't know if someone had eliminated the target before him, or if there was some accident. Anyway, the target was dead, which meant that his mission had been completed, so he went back to tell Galactus the news.
who, in turn, Galactus told the Living Tribunal.
When OAA learned that Schiller was dead, he was also confused. The phone was gone. Why hadn't the harassing calls been hung up?
After some investigation, the OAA discovered that it was precisely because Schiller was dead that the call was not hung up.
However, because the ongoing operation of Death is related to some existences on the DC side, OAA has no way to determine what the principle is. He only knows that he must resurrect Schiller first, and then he can find out.
Did the harassing phone calls come because Schiller died?
However, OAA also represents the readers and the editorial department. He is the supreme will of the Marvel universe. In the setting of the supreme will, everyone who has said the saying "With great power comes great responsibility" will die.
.
In other words, this is actually the will of comic readers and the will of the editorial department, reflected in comics.
The so-called "Spider Curse" actually means that comic readers like to see Spider-Man's growth process, and the editor's way of reflecting this process is to write out his important relatives to death.
The side of OAA that maintains the smooth operation of the universe requires him to resurrect Schiller and find out what is going on with the harassing phone calls. However, the side that embodies the will of readers and editors requires him to let go of the saying "With great power comes great responsibility."
"Big" people die.
If several sides of OAA could have a conversation, what would happen might be like this:
"It is my responsibility to maintain the smooth operation of the universe. I said, I will resurrect Schiller and then hang up the phone!"
"It is my responsibility to implement the reader's will. I said, Schiller said that with great power comes great responsibility, so he must die!"
"He can't die, I want to hang up the phone!"
"He must die..."
"He can't die..."
"He must..."
"he can not……"
In short, there is a small bug in the OAA program regarding the issue of whether Schiller can die.
Of course, a bug of this level cannot cause the supreme will of the universe to become stuck. A good program has the function of self-detection and emergency braking.
For OAA, the best solution is to restart.
Of course, this is not a reboot of the entire Marvel Universe, nor is it a reboot that rewrites the background settings of all characters, but a simple reversal of time in a single universe, resetting all causal relationships to a point in time where there are no problems.
To put it simply, by rolling back the program, erasing the program where the bug occurred, and then through some interference from the OAA, the development process of the single universe deviates from the possibility of the bug, and then it can be completely eliminated.
solve this problem.
Schiller in the Kingdom of Death was holding a contract, pointing to the place at the end of the contract, and said to Death: "If there is no problem, just sign here, according to the conditions we negotiated before..."
Death read the contract again, and after making sure there were no problems, a pen appeared in her hand, and beautiful cursive characters fell on the paper.
But just when she finished writing the first letter, she felt something strange, and Schiller also heard some strange sounds.
The two of them looked up at the sky at the same time. Schiller didn't know what Death saw, but he found that a strange starry sky suddenly appeared in the sky of Death's country.
The starry sky was getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting closer and closer to Schiller. Schiller squinted his eyes and took two steps back. He had a bad feeling. Just a second before the starry sky swallowed him up, he shouted
road:
“NO!!! MY CONTRACT!!!”
In an instant, only silence remained in the kingdom of death.
Schiller, on the other hand, was surrounded by a bright starry sky. He found that all the light points around him were moving forward rapidly, or in other words, he was retreating rapidly.
In the endless stream of stars, he saw countless universes that were disillusioned like bubbles. The endless universes passed by him, and all the details that happened in them were clearly visible.
A person chooses to drink milk in the morning, and a universe flies past Schiller's eyes. A person chooses not to drink milk in the morning, and another universe flies past.
Infinite choices constitute infinite possibilities, and infinite possibilities become infinite universes. Each single universe in the multiverse represents infinite possibilities at infinite points in time.
Countless strange things flew in front of Schiller. All of these things are an independent universe. Everything in this infinity is a universe.
Milk is the universe, the chair is the universe, the cat is the universe, the dog is the universe, a person's thoughts are the universe, and a dream is also the universe...
As time went back and cause and effect were reset, the single universe where Schiller was located was restarted to a point in time before it came into contact with the multiverse.
Schiller suddenly woke up from his bed. The bedroom of Arkham Sanitarium was very quiet. The thousands of lights and bright starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows did not weaken Schiller's sleepiness.
Arriving at the base of the Spider Legion through the Spider Sense, learning about the so-called Spider Curse, using the Spider Curse to travel to the kingdom of death, and then inducing death to make harassing calls to Lucifer... all of this seems like a ridiculous dream.
When I wake up from bed, I always have the illusion that everything that happened before was a blurry dream, but Schiller knows that it is not a dream.
Looking at the wall clock next to him, according to the date and time on it, in two minutes, the spider silk will contact him through the spider sense.
Time passed minute by minute, and when two minutes came, the familiar "buzzing" sound did not come.
The spider silk did not contact him, the spider totem showed no response, the development of things deviated from the original track, and possible program errors were reversed.
Schiller looked at his hand, where there should have been a resurrection contract signed by death, a symbol of his victory and the trophy he deserved.
But at this time, with the reset of cause and effect, everything disappeared without a trace.
Schiller took a deep breath and sat up from the bed. He remembered the endless universe he had seen when he had just experienced the restart of the universe, during the time reversal and the reset of cause and effect.
Everything becomes the universe. Cats are the universe, dogs are the universe, dreams are the universe...
Dreams...are also the universe?
As the moonlight dimmed, Schiller's figure was reflected on the smooth glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a dangerous and crazy smile slowly appeared on his face.
