American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker
#371 - Psychic Erosion
Osborn Manor.
"Look, those people are in trouble." The monitored Little Harry projected a video.
Little Harry's tone and expression carried a hint of schadenfreude.
The video was somewhat blurry, seemingly from inside a closed laboratory.
On the screen, fully armed soldiers were engaged in intense combat with a group of humanoid monsters and mutated experimental creatures.
The mutated experimental creatures resembled enlarged white mice, their eyes bloodshot, their figures darting through the laboratory corridors like phantoms, their speed so fast that the human eye could only catch a fleeting afterimage.
Especially after mutation, their sharp teeth and claws could chew through steel, leaving deep claw marks on the riot shields.
They were numerous and extremely resilient, healing quickly unless directly shot in the head.
More troublesome and difficult than these mutated white mice were the humanoid creatures, their limbs evolving into inhuman forms due to malformation, possessing immense strength and certain special abilities.
In the video footage, the laboratory had become a carnage-filled meat grinder.
The constantly deployed soldiers and those humanoid monsters were engaged in a fierce battle throughout the laboratory.
The underground environment restricted the use of large-scale human weapons, but the underground space, like a small city, had enough space to open multiple battlefields.
"What are these? Are they caused by the monsters from within the [Gate]?" Little Harry asked curiously, watching Big Harry intently staring at the video.
The video was not long, only a few minutes.
It presented only a war scene from a certain location, and some messy switching scenes.
But Big Harry watched it very carefully, and after watching it, he watched it again, then looked at the last frozen and paused picture, and answered Little Harry.
"Although not quite sure, it looks like psionic erosion."
"Psionic erosion?" Little Harry repeated with great interest.
He knew that Big Harry would give him a detailed explanation of what psionic erosion meant.
"Yes, it's a symptom of erosion triggered in a life group after a disordered diffusion of psionic energy.
Of course, artificial means can also be used to accelerate the occurrence of this situation, using it as a psionic transmission weapon.
To understand it specifically, the latter can be considered as the spread and outbreak of a man-made virus with wide transmission, strong infectivity, and extremely high risk.
And one of its earliest symptoms is what is shown in this video.
Certain parts of the limbs are mutated, and the best among them, and the next stage of evolution, will also gain some amplified abilities, such as immense strength, powerful self-healing, limb mimicry, and manipulation of energy, etc."
Big Harry quickly explained to Little Harry.
"Is psionic erosion very terrifying?" Seeing the solemn and ugly look on Big Harry's face, Little Harry couldn't care less about gloating and asked worriedly.
"Of course it's terrifying.
You should understand from my previous explanation that they are like plagues, and once they appear, they will inevitably spread on a large scale.
If their spread cannot be contained in the early stage, then the difficulty of containing it will continue to increase in each subsequent stage.
This is a technology used to destroy civilizations," Big Harry said with an ugly face: "Of course, when this technology was first created by a Hebron laboratory, its concept was to allow civilizations, or humans, to evolve!
But experiments have proved that this technology brings not only evolution but also all reshaping and recasting.
They do not make human civilization better, but replace human civilization!
Humans may even be raised as food for them to extract psionic energy.
From the perspective of the concept of creation, this technology is a failure for Hebron.
It goes against Hebron's philosophy and was therefore sealed up.
But the Time Administration has a backup of this technology."
"You also experimented on humans?" Little Harry looked surprised.
Being so knowledgeable about the evolution of this technology, and even saying the final stage so confidently, must be supported by rigorous data and experimental evidence.
Are the researchers in Big Harry's world playing so wildly?
"Data dimension simulation," Big Harry said: "The data dimension can directly replicate a life planet, and can accelerate or reverse time and conduct various environmental experiments and simulations according to the wishes and debugging of the researchers.
The final result is bound to be consistent with reality, at least it is consistent now."
"Isn't psionic energy a kind of energy?" Little Harry asked suspiciously.
"Of course it is a kind of energy, but you need to know that many high-dimensional energies have the ability to change life forms.
The more you come into contact with them, the more they will subtly transform you from one race to another.
You can understand or think of this transformation as an evolution or degradation," Big Harry shook his head and explained.
"Then you..." Little Harry subconsciously looked at Big Harry, as if trying to see if there was anything mutated on him.
"We use pure psionic energy, filtered by Hebron technology.
Psionic energy that has not been filtered or purified is violent, and even has its own will.
Only the mages of Kamar-Taj have a way to receive and accommodate the most primitive psionic energy.
But this still requires taking some risks," Big Harry said almost without stopping, telling what Little Harry wanted to know.
"In our world, it is illegal to use primitive psionic energy without permission.
You will be hunted down by the mages from Kamar-Taj.
If the mutation is too serious, or the mages judge that your state of erosion is too serious, they will take any measures to drive you away from the human world.
Including but not limited to opening a portal and throwing you directly into an unknown dimension, or directly throwing you into the prison they use to hold dangerous dimensional creatures.
After all, if you don't do this, it will be very troublesome once he becomes a source of infection.
Each cleanup requires the mages of Kamar-Taj and S.H.I.E.L.D. to jointly clean up and investigate for a period of time, and adjust people with weak erosion symptoms to make them return to normal."
"So after being infected by primitive psionic energy, will they become beasts like them?" Little Harry pointed to the mutants on the screen who were drooling and showed no signs of intelligence.
"This situation is called overload by Hebron.
Their brains are infected and dominated by certain emotions, and in general, these are mostly emotions with strong infection power such as fanaticism, anger, excitement, etc.
They will quickly infect and assimilate everything around them, and the assimilated life forms will spread out to infect more life forms.
Eventually, they will form a network of single emotions.
And you must understand that once any life form is dominated by a certain emotion, its IQ will drop sharply and it will ignore many, many problems.
And those who are eroded by primitive psionic energy are even more serious than that.
They can't even think."
Big Harry also glanced at the people on the screen with obvious symptoms of erosion.
That person was still wearing a worn isolation suit, looking like a researcher from a certain laboratory.
"But if a gifted person can survive this stage, absorb a large amount of other primitive psionic energy, neutralize and alleviate each other, they will regain their thinking and consciousness, but it can't be said that they are still the same as before.
His ideas will change with the reshaping of his body.
After a long time, some of them who were originally emotionally indifferent will separate themselves from the human species.
They will think that they are a member of human beings, and because of the output of psionic energy, they will have the idea of enslaving or controlling human beings."
"This sounds a bit scary?" Little Harry smacked his lips.
"Actually, it's nothing.
The nobles and royal families in human history have never regarded the people below as human beings.
Perhaps those psionicists will restrain themselves a little for the sake of psionic energy production issues," Big Harry had read Hebron's experimental record.
Although it was incomplete, it was indeed as he said that the mutants who evolved and called themselves psionicists would indeed distinguish and raise some humans in order to produce some positive psionic energy.
"Then should we help them?" Little Harry hesitated a bit, "I mean, do you think the military can eliminate and quell this trouble?"
"What do you think?" Hearing Little Harry's words, a sarcastic smile appeared on Big Harry's face, "Those people are a bunch of self-righteous people.
Before things happen, they firmly believe that they can control all storms.
Think about it, even if they quell this storm, what will they do next?
Will they destroy those mutants?
Do they have the correct destruction measures?
They will only study the other party, just like studying that behemoth, to study those mutants.
They think it's safe when the other party dies, but that's impossible.
That behemoth is dead, but it can still infect those researchers and soldiers who have come into contact with it, even if they have taken what they think are sufficient protective measures.
The monster inside the door is the first source of infection, and those mutants will become the second source of infection, and if they don't restrain themselves in the future, there will be a third and fourth.
As the number of infection sources increases, the erosion and activity of primitive psionic energy will be higher.
According to the number of soldiers involved this time, it is almost certain that psionic erosion cannot be extinguished.
Even if you tell them everything now, they will only think you are going crazy and scaring them.
They will even warn you in turn and tell you to shut up.
Until the hidden danger completely breaks out uncontrollably, they may still have the leisure to find someone to take the blame for them, such as you and me, or that door or something.
Although these behaviors are meaningless for the future that is destined to collapse and be destroyed."
"Then what should we do?" Little Harry was a little dazed for a while.
At a certain stage, there was indeed a strong tendency in his mind that it would be better for this world to be destroyed.
But that was the idea during the low point of his life and in difficult circumstances.
Now Osborn is in the limelight all over the world, although the foundation is unstable, it is much better than the previous stage full of difficulties.
If possible, he certainly doesn't want any accidents to happen in this world.
It's best to follow his and Big Harry's plan step by step and become another world like Hebron here.
"Do you want to go to our world?
If I can go back smoothly, maybe I can find you a position in the Time Administration?
I believe that with your talent and my help, you can successfully cross the recruitment threshold of the Time Administration," Big Harry began to arrange a way out for Little Harry.
He still likes himself in this world, smart, sensible, and decisive, a good teammate who doesn't坑.
"In other words, you also think this world is hopeless?
What if I take over in the past?
Osborn Industries now has the ability to influence and control some high-level officials.
We can arrange some accidents and then quickly seize power," Little Harry put forward an idea.
"This is a very bad idea.
If there is no external threat, I agree with your idea.
But what if that attacker in the dark suddenly jumps out at a critical moment?
What if he colludes with another group of people?
Although this probability is small, it does exist.
At that time, human civilization in this world may collapse and be destroyed faster.
Even if the other party doesn't stand up and join forces with some people to target us, the threat of himself is enough for us to drink a pot now.
I guess the other party has come to our timeline and is paying attention to and collecting our information.
The other party can easily lock on to Osborn from the technical developments in recent years," Big Harry spread his hands: "Our trump cards cannot be used randomly."
Little Harry nodded in silence.
It wasn't that Big Harry really convinced him, but that he understood that Big Harry had no sense of belonging to this world from beginning to end.
The other party just wants to return to his original universe with all his heart.
It doesn't matter to Big Harry what this world is like.
The fact that the other party wants to take him away and arrange a way out is proof of the relationship between the two during this period of time.
His thoughts on this matter did not agree with him.
If he had any deep feelings for this world, he would feel that it wasn't enough.
After all, he is also very interested in the universe where another self is, and even has some longing.
But he felt a little entangled and couldn't get over it if he didn't struggle with the cards in his hand.
Under the agitation, Little Harry could only choose to take one step at a time.
…
"Just arrived in this timeline and saw familiar old friends, how should I put it?
It makes me a little surprised."
Outside the door, a man wearing an iron mask and a green robe slowly descended from the sky.
Seeing the four people who sneaked in quietly in front, he opened his mouth with great pleasure.
"It's you, Doom?"
Reed Richards, who wanted to enter the door and find a way to close the [Gate] from the other side, subconsciously blurted out a name when he looked at the man in front of him who felt very familiar to him.
