Chapter 173 A Promise 2099

Chapter 173 A Promise 2099

The Observer Frog has witnessed many strange and wonderful things, including many magical animals. He even once saw a frog lift Thor's hammer.

This was indeed the first time he had ever seen such a creature.

From Joey's body, a completely new consciousness is awakening and taking over.

First, there is a bony shell that can withstand the low temperatures and radiation of space, and then there are perforated structures that extend from the bony shell, resembling propulsion jets.

Just as the observer, Frog, was puzzled as to how these structures worked, faint lights began to emerge from these voids.

Under the dim light, Joey's body began to slowly accelerate, flying towards the sun.

Can a propellantless propulsion device grow directly on a carbon-based organism?

Even someone as knowledgeable as Frog Picture feels that this seems a bit unscientific.

However, what intrigues observers most is the emotion carried by this newly emerged creation.

Hatred.

This kind of hatred for the entire material world, this emotional fluctuation that makes one want to devour all existence, is something that Frogtu has only seen in a few extremely special universes.

And it's far less pure than the creature in front of us.

The monster born from the body of the dead hero is now slowly flying towards the sun. In the vacuum, there is no resistance, so even with such low-power non-propellant propulsion, it will not take too long to reach a place with enough sunlight.

Considering the biological characteristics of the original owner of the body, when that time comes, it will likely be a devastating catastrophe for the solar system and the entire universe.

But what does this have to do with the observer?

Frog thought to himself.

He is the "observer," having sworn an oath to merely observe and never interfere.

With an infinite number of multiverses, there are an infinite number of paths to destruction. Once you begin to interfere with one of them with a misplaced sense of compassion, you will inevitably become entangled in it and unable to extricate yourself.

Having temporarily come to terms with it, Frog Tu simply sighed and looked away, unable to bear witnessing the final outcome of this world.

Soon, the object covered in a bony shell approached the inner solar system and came into contact with the sunlight at the very edge of the solar system.

[Superman, open your eyes!]

While fast asleep, Joey felt a light source of thousands of lumens shining directly on her face, and she couldn't help but open her eyes:

"Which bastard turned on the light? Turn it off!"

As his consciousness returned, the bony outer shell and flight structure of his body instantly decayed and decomposed, turning into ashes and drifting away as if they had never existed.

As Joey's vital signs returned and the light of life was rekindled along with him, the First Generation hesitated for a long time before finally confirming what had just happened with Joey:

Do you remember what just happened?

"The part where the Zarab aliens self-destruct?"

Upon waking, Joey rushed to the sun, circled the corona to fully recharge, and felt refreshed.

"See, I told you that although the villain's self-destruction may seem dangerous, it's actually quite safe."

I disagree.

The first generation realized that Joey's memory was fragmented. When Joey lost consciousness, he had no way to observe the outside world without permission, but at that time he could sense an extremely powerful dark force invading his body:

[Think about it carefully, when the Zarab aliens self-destructed, we were much farther away from the solar system.]

"After all, it was a powerful self-destruction."

Already burdened with enough worries, Joey had no time to examine the abnormality in her body and only intended to deal with the original character hastily.

"Perhaps it was just the aftershocks of the explosion."

[The stronger a person is, the harder it is to resist the darkness within. You remind me of a handsome young man I encountered when we were hunting down the cosmic fugitive Yanagaki.]

Every individual may have their own secrets, a fact even the seemingly ruthless Giant of Light, the first, understood, yet he still had to warn Joey:

[Like you, beneath his outward glimmer of hope lurks a bottomless darkness. I only hope that you, like him, can forever keep the light of hope in your heart.]

"The 'people' you mentioned when referring to 'young people,' you don't mean someone like you who is a giant of light, do you?"

He could be both light and dark, and was extremely handsome—Joey seemed to know who the "person" the original was talking about was.

"Never mind—let's get down to business first."

Although his head was spinning from the Zarab alien explosion, Horror Joey hadn't forgotten why he'd originally come here: "I just planned to go out and clean up the multiverse pests, so why did it turn out like this!"

For some reason, before he could completely eradicate the Heir family from the entire multiverse, he got a good beating in this universe.

As the two were exchanging cryptic messages about the doomsday lurking within Joey's body and subconscious, a massive spaceship flew in from Earth, interrupting their thoughts.

That's the Surprise, Leopardon in its spaceship form.

Joey, who flew in from outside the airtight compartment of the spaceship, immediately spotted Tony, who was tinkering with screws and wrenches in various corners of the spaceship.

His current state is exactly the same as when he first saw the watchtower. If Yamashiro Takuya weren't still sitting in the driver's seat, he probably would have loved to take apart a few panels to study them on the spot.

"Stop with the nonsense, Tony, we've clearly entered the wrong universe!"

Joey grabbed Tony so tightly that he nearly shook the man's armor off.

"According to Penny and that pig, the Heirs might already be at war with the Spider Legion in Universe 2099. We must go there to provide support immediately!"

"That's exactly right! That's why Mr. Stark integrated an inter-space teleportation module into my spaceship."

From the cockpit in the distance, Takuya Yamashiro gave Joey a thumbs-up:

"I can't miss such an important event!"

Spider-Men from all the multiverses are being slaughtered one by one, which is obviously unacceptable to Takuya Yamashiro, the Spider-Man of this universe. He resolutely joins the front line against the Heirs family.

Joey, lamenting the terrible misfortune of the Heirs' family, was once again met with a blinding white light. It was "400 Granny" activating the newly installed space jump system, "Wonder, launch!"

"In my father's time, flying cars already existed; in my time, Stark Industries has developed limitless clean energy..."

Amidst the turbulent flow of time and space, Tony, crammed into the driver's seat alongside Takuya Yamashiro, is still dreaming of a wonderful future universe in 2099:

"It's hard to imagine what amazing achievements people will make in 2099!"

The universe 2099 can be roughly seen as the future of Tony's era. From his perspective, it is naturally a stable and positive place. Technological progress will inevitably lead to an improvement in the quality of life, and in turn, to stability in public order.

"So, did that era really need Spider-Man?"

Joey, leaning against the wall, remained silent, only smiling.

He didn't want to interrupt Tony's dream.
