American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

When Bruce opened his eyes again, he found that he had left the spiritual world and returned to the Bat Base in the real world.

He looked at the time in the surveillance room and found that after experiencing so much in the spiritual world, it seemed like a long time had passed, but the real time seemed to have stagnated. After he came out, it started to flow again.From entering to coming out, and then Stephen taking action to solve the problem, it only took ten seconds in total.

"Do you think it's been a long time?" Seeing the surprised look on Bruce's face, Stephen guessed with experience. "This is the case in the world of spiritual bodies. There is no comparison between the speed of time in it and the speed of time in the real material universe."

Bruce nodded, not sure what to say for a moment.Now he just feels all kinds of awkwardness in himself, from physical to emotional.But if you really want to find out the source, it will become unclear.

He felt that his body had become a little heavier. This feeling was very similar to the heaviness and discomfort that the body would feel during the recovery period after suffering a serious illness, resting in bed for a long time, and then going to the ground for mobility recovery.An action that used to be easy to perform was clearly difficult now.

At the same time, in exchange for the heaviness of his body, he felt that his mental state was a little light, as if a smaller soul had been stuffed into his strong and well-trained body, and a sense of burden immediately appeared.

Bruce speculated that this was a side effect of that kind of surgery, and he needed to get used to it slowly.

"This is for you." Stephen threw a golden, hollow ball made of an unknown metal to Bruce. Bruce grabbed it in his hand with his body's reaction and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look.

It's a very ordinary sphere. There seems to be some kind of light bound inside the sphere, which reflects the color of the golden sunshine along the lines.

The moment he took the ball into his hands, Bruce's body trembled, and a familiar feeling of extended limbs emerged in the depths of his soul.The sphere in his hand seemed like an object he had lost for a long time but was still very familiar to him.This made him couldn't help but look at Stephen, trying to get an answer from him.

"Is this?" Bruce instinctively felt that this was something very important to him.

"The fragment of your soul. In other words, it is the part of the bright personality that was cut off after it was embodied." Stephen Dao explained: "Although it has been cut out, if you wear it around you from time to time, it will also be subtly changed. Those who are slightly affected by it have a better chance of returning to their previous mental state as soon as possible.”

When Bruce heard this, his hand holding the sphere tightened a little.Pieces of your own soul?Can this kind of illusory thing really be realized?And actually appeared in front of him?
Was Stephen exaggerating and using a metaphor, or was he telling the truth?Even if Bruce is not a mage or a person with supernatural abilities, he can understand how much trouble a soul fragment can cause him when it falls into the hands of certain people.

Although Stephen had completely cut it off, feeling the vague sense of connection, Bruce had already treated it as a weakness.

"The other one is your dark personality. I can't hand it over to you. It's infected with the abyss. In any case, contact with it is unnecessary and dangerous. Your current state is like a blank sheet of paper , the infection of dark personality on you is much more powerful and obvious." Stephen waved his hand, holding up a hand in his open palm that was exactly the same as Bruce's hand except for the color and luster. The black sphere said.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Bruce thought for a while and asked one more question.After all, this can be regarded as one of his split personalities. As its former owner, it is still such a sensitive thing, so he must ask clearly.

If he hadn't felt the power of the abyss exposed by young Wayne in the spiritual world and felt the huge danger from it, he would definitely have snatched it away with Stephen.Anyway, after experiencing so much, he initially gained some trust in Stephen, but this trust was not enough to make him let go of his vigilance and doubts.

"Take it back to Luke and see if he can save your dark side. If it can't be saved, then you can only find a way to seal it as a dangerous item." Stephen said about dealing with abyss infected matter. The process is very familiar.Anyway, it is to control the uncontrolled expansion of the abyss as much as possible.

The Time Administration has used similar items that store a bit of abyssal power to destroy more than one civilization.Many civilizations that have been attacked will feel that strange power after obtaining abyss items inexplicably.And without knowing the dangers of the abyss, and being extremely confident in his own skills, he mostly analyzed this item and conducted various experiments.

Some of these technologically powerful civilizations have indeed researched a lot of things from objects, and even developed a discipline from scratch.

But no matter which civilization it is, no matter what is researched or not researched from the abyss items, as time goes by, it will inevitably fall into war-torn riots and perish.

This span of time may be measured in hundreds of years, but no one or civilization that has ever obtained abyssal items will reach final death and destruction.

Some have had accidents, and some have inexplicably suffered unexpected wars from another civilization or multiple civilizations joining together.The collapse of each civilization and the death of its owner seems to be caused by various factors, but with the birth of ruins of each civilization, it still adds a bit of legend to the abyss items.

There are also some civilized races with special abilities that accurately judged the danger of the abyssal item without other information. They also thought about throwing it away or destroying it, but both methods failed at first.

One is that people who don't understand that people who have been in contact with abyssal items will be marked by abyssal items. The more people are exposed to them, the deeper the mark will be.Coupled with the secret operations of the Time Administration, the option of throwing away the abyss items is almost impossible to achieve.

The other tries to destroy it.But abyssal items, materials that can carry the power of the abyss and have strong resistance and tolerance to it, are even better than the materials used to forge artifacts.Therefore, when the powerful weapons mastered by a civilization cannot destroy it, it often relies on the omnipotent universe.Among them, there is a race whose civilization and technology are not advanced, but whose spiritual advantages are extremely high. They once made a plan to throw the abyssal items they obtained inexplicably into a launcher and put them into the stars of the planetary system.The result was that after a few decades, the entire sun turned into a black sun and possessed strange energy, distorting and infecting all life in the star system.

That race with extremely excellent mental abilities is almost defenseless when faced with the pollution of the sun.Because it’s not just them that have mutated, but also the energy, vegetation, environment, beasts, and bacteria on their planet.There is no escape for them, and they experience multiple infections every moment.Eventually, they became corrupted and became a crazy group that worshiped the black sun and the power of the abyss.These crazy tribesmen even hunted down their fellow tribesmen who could still remain relatively calm, forcing them to follow them in the depravity ritual, believing that this was the best way to continue the tribe and life.

Malice, disaster, destruction.

With the large-scale release of abyssal items, many multiverses have related legends and regard it as a huge disaster like a scourge.But when it came to obtaining and analyzing the abyssal items, no one could be sure of this.After all, there are all kinds of items in the abyss.

It may just be the core of a certain ore buried under the planet. Then the planet was discovered by a nearby civilization and mined some ores with strange energy. They regarded it as an important resource star and thus climbed to the new level. The technology tree and highlights new technologies.

Then at this moment, they mined the abyss core. After some research and analysis, even though they were aware of its danger at this time, due to the heavy investment in the early stage and the prospects of various new technologies in the future, they were reluctant to part with it. The breaking of the wrists of strong men who cannot make a decisive decision can only force them to turn a blind eye to possible dangers and continue walking with a sense of luck.In the end, it somehow gets deeper and deeper, becoming more and more fearful and crazy, full of destructive desire and aggression, until it destroys itself, or is destroyed by other civilizations and powerful people.

There was a world where Asgard existed. The god-king Odin, who was still a young version at the time and was full of desire for conquest and war, once obtained such an abyssal item from a country he had conquered and destroyed.He kept it as a trophy in his Odin's Hoard.

This abyssal item was quickly spotted by Hela and picked out.

It can only be said that Hela's character and strength attributes are very popular with the abyss items. With the two complementing each other, Hela's power expands rapidly, but at the same time, the mental and physical distortions are becoming increasingly difficult to cover up.Eventually, her abnormality was discovered by Odin.

Just like the story that the three Thor siblings have known countless times, their family battles inevitably happened.The first game is still the familiar God King Odin and the God of the Underworld Hela.

The Valkyries fell one after another, and then their souls did not return to the Hall of Valor. Instead, they took their corpses with them and became aberrations of the abyssal undead under the influence of the abyssal items and the power of Hela.

This time, God King Odin did not suppress the already extremely powerful Hela. Instead, Hela cut off his head with a sword, accomplishing many things that Hela in the universe longed for but failed to do.Because Hela swallowed Odin's divinity and power, Hela's power became stronger and stronger, and with it came the complete fall of Asgard!
Every Asgardian was forced to undergo a corruption ceremony and became the carrier and dependent of the two powers of the abyss and the undead in Hela's hands.

It won't die or get tired, and it also has the high pollution, assimilation and devouring properties of the abyss.

An abyssal army that terrified the entire universe swept through the nine realms and the universe under Hela's regroupment.

No one can resist Hela's attack.No one can deal with and destroy that abyss army.Even if they kill one, they will pollute a piece of land, and eventually resurrect in the polluted land to continue fighting.This makes it possible that even if there is a powerful legion that can go head-to-head with Hela's Abyss legion, they will still face a catastrophic situation in which their homeland is polluted, their people are polluted, and they themselves are also polluted.In the end, even if they fight to the death, they become the same type and have to accept the restrictions of Hela.This is truly the point that allows all civilizations and powerful people to break through their defenses.

In the end, Hela, who failed to achieve the great cause of unification in other universes, was forcibly accomplished by Hela in this universe.All civilizations and planets that Hela has set foot on have been corrupted and degenerated into the Abyss Legion.In the end, things got serious, and the Time Administration, which couldn't hold back anymore, had no choice but to forcefully come over to clean up the situation.

They even guided the rebels in this universe to find the whereabouts of the Infinity Stones and gave them directions one by one.As the leader of the rebels, Thanos did what he did in other universes, collecting infinity stones, building the Infinity Gauntlet, and snapping his fingers.

Only this time it is not to destroy more than half of the life in the universe, but to eliminate Hela and her raging Abyss Legion.

With the secret help of the Time Administration, Thanos successfully achieved all the prerequisites for snapping his fingers, and snapped his fingers in front of Hela.

The Legion of the Abyss was indeed destroyed by the power of the Infinity Stones, and could no longer be resurrected.But the worst thing is that the power of the infinite stones failed to erase the power of the abyss. Instead, because of the loss of many carriers, the power of the abyss exploded, and life began to pollute the starry sky and the universe.

Realizing this, Thanos had to forcefully extract more power from the ring again and restart it.It is a pity that the restart did not make the power of the abyss disappear. Instead, it became more deeply integrated with the universe due to the early stage of the universe's restart.

In the end, the Time Administration had to let Karma Taj's mages and Hyperion's technicians clean up the mess.After expending huge manpower and resources to contain the Abyss in this new universe, the Energy Bank immediately established stringent laws one after another on the use of Abyssal items, and began to trace the source of the Abyssal items thrown out in the past. To avoid such out-of-control things happening again in the future.

However, because of this, the Time Administration has mastered many detailed observation reports on abyssal items, and these precious intelligence and information were also shared with Hyperon and Kama Taj.With the help of this information, the restrictions on the power of the abyss were updated twice.

So although the abyss is still troublesome, as long as it doesn't spread, Stephen can even use it as a destructive weapon.This kind of abyss pollution in Bruce, which is separated by several layers, is not very dangerous to Stephen once it is controlled. (End of chapter)
