American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Norman Osborn had been in a good mood lately. His own son had returned safely and brought back another son from a parallel universe, making his usually quiet home a bit more lively.

After receiving the news from S.H.I.E.L.D., Norman had been in a state of excitement. But after confirming the information and having some time to calm down, he managed to maintain his usual dignity and silence when Harry Osborn appeared before him. Only when he saw the younger version of Harry did Norman's expression change slightly.

Harry Osborn didn't mind his father's coldness. He had already learned from his boss, Loki, and from S.H.I.E.L.D., who had picked him up and conveniently recorded Reed and the others, about his father's efforts and busywork for him during this time.

It wasn't that the other party didn't value him, or that he didn't love him, but that he was used to expressing himself with harshness and reprimands. So, facing the cold-faced Norman, he was still happy in his heart.

Harry introduced Little Harry and Reed to his father, and subtly explained Reed's talent for invention. He believed that his father could understand what he was trying to say from his words. After all, his only understanding of his father in the past was that he was a true pursuer of profit. He could associate everything with profit. This time, he believed that the other party would be no exception.

Wasn't what Osborn Industries lacked just a chief inventor?

Norman was much more enthusiastic towards Reed and the others, and said many words of thanks. Once a person like him put down his pride and wanted to win someone over, it was at least difficult to be disliked.

Reed's emotional intelligence was not as high as his intelligence. He was quite annoyed by some social niceties, which was a common problem for people immersed in research and invention. But fortunately, he had a capable girlfriend. Although Susan was not as talented as Reed, she was much better than the others in the team at interpersonal communication and understanding people's hearts.

Reed didn't notice anything, but Susan sensitively perceived something from Norman's enthusiasm. Of course, she didn't detect any malice from Norman. In a new world, and with them needing help, she certainly wouldn't do anything to spoil the atmosphere.

"I heard from Big Harry that there is a dimension world called the Data Dimension, which is the gathering place for the smartest inventors in this world, and it also has all kinds of incredible conveniences and functions. I have always wanted to see it," Reed said enthusiastically to Norman. After answering several of Norman's questions, he unconsciously led the topic to the Data Dimension. He really wanted to see this magical place and learn about it.

"Cough cough! This is not the time to discuss these things, Reed," Ben covered his face. He shouldn't have had any expectations of Reed other than research and invention.

"Please rest assured, as I have promised you, as long as you can prove your talent and value in the Data Dimension, you will have the qualifications to bargain with S.H.I.E.L.D. and even the Time Administration. Your world will naturally be arranged to have personnel to filter and cleanse it as soon as possible."

"Cleanse? Is it the kind of cleansing I imagine?" Susan asked sensitively.

"It depends on the degree of infection. If the infection is too deep, even areas, the best way is to cut them off and take various measures around the cut area. But mild and moderate infections can still return to normal after filtering. Of course, this normality means that it can restore its own consciousness and thinking, and have its own control.

It is difficult for them to return to the past, and they must adapt to that power like you, and learn to coexist with them. Some of them will have to undergo a period of withdrawal training to ensure and avoid losing control again, and so on.

Please rest assured, I will try my best to do what I promised you. Of course, it is difficult for me and my father alone, even with the power of Osborn, to play a decisive role. Everything depends on your research and development rating in the Data Dimension. All we can do is provide other support in all aspects. For example, currency? Or, reading level qualifications?"

Big Harry replied leisurely, and popularized the new currency system of the Energy Bank, as well as reading level qualifications, etc., for Reed and the others. The subsequent reading qualifications allow access to a lot of knowledge about psionic energy. If Reed is smart enough, he can even develop several sets of filtering schemes himself. Haibolun, who threw out the technology and theory, didn't mind this. They were even happy for someone to be able to modify their technology, or successfully research something based on their retired basic theories, adding bricks and tiles to these theories until they formed a theorem.

"I know you are very anxious, but to access the Data Dimension, I first need to apply for a few qualifications for you. Believe me, this is not difficult, but it takes a little time. You can rest during this period and get in touch with Osborn's laboratory in advance. Believe me, it is better and more cutting-edge than Osborn's laboratory in another world. You, especially Reed, will definitely like it."

Seeing Susan open her mouth to speak, Big Harry seemed to guess what she wanted to say, and took the initiative to speak before she could.

Reed and the others nodded after hearing this. Before coming, Harry had already consulted them and reached a certain consensus. They did not reject joining Osborn Industries in this world. After all, in the previous world, they were employees of Osborn, just changing worlds and working for the same family and company. There was nothing wrong with this. After all, as "wanderers," the time they worked at Osborn Industries was wonderful. They didn't need to worry about other messy problems, and they had a lot of money to carry out various research, even Johnny could find a relaxed position to work in.

Although they couldn't wait to immediately invest in the Data Dimension and Osborn Industries' projects to start working, as Big Harry said, it would take some time to process.

Johnny and Reed quickly put aside their worries, and looking at the instruments, mechanical creations, and novel cities around them, they felt an eager urge.

Johnny wanted to go to more fun places to see, while Reed wanted to get in touch with some of the technological products in this world that made him feel incredibly novel.

Seeing the restless expressions on the faces of the two, Big Harry shrugged and said, "Strictly speaking, you should now be in a period of house arrest and observation. If you want to go out, I can arrange for someone to accompany you around the city. But I must remind you that don't use your abilities easily, because as outsiders, your abilities have not been approved for use. Don't cause trouble for yourselves. There are many superheroes in this city, and the police station is well-equipped. Once you are targeted, you may have to suffer a bit."

……

Outside the universe.

A chaotic area filled with dimensional fragments.

Ancient One, dressed in a plain yellow robe, drove away the dimensional creatures entrenched in this area. Luke, beside her, stared unblinkingly at the center of the area.

"Creating a universe, has your technology reached this level?" Ancient One sighed softly. If Luke simply created a copy of a universe, or even created a bunch of universes, it wouldn't be too surprising to Ancient One. But Luke obviously wanted to create a universe of his own, running within his own framework.

The former is from one to two, the latter is from nothing to something.

"The most suitable thing for oneself is of course the world one creates oneself. Although the main universe is good, it is not suitable for us now. In human terms, God is most powerful in his own kingdom," Luke waited patiently. Anyway, time is confused here, and it won't happen that staying here for a long time and then returning to the main universe will cause drastic changes.

Here, they can return to the time node they left like flipping through a book.

Ancient One didn't ask Luke if he could succeed. Although the various details and logic required for a universe model are despairingly numerous, as long as some problems occur, there is a high probability that problems will occur in the operation of the universe model later. But Luke's technology is always worthy of trust, isn't it?

A soft light appeared in this area for the first time, and all the dimensional fragments and corpses of dimensional creatures were swallowed up by a certain black celestial body. The prototype of a universe appeared in this area in that light, and psionic energy from all over the universe gathered into this newborn universe under the mobilization.

"Light and darkness?" Ancient One carefully observed this still immature newborn universe, even though it was expanding and growing rapidly under the infusion of psionic energy. This moment for them may be ten thousand years of evolution inside. The internal time flow depends entirely on how Luke sets it. Ancient One didn't care about these, but she saw the main rules of power in this universe.

Light and darkness.

These two opposing concepts are concepts of power that can be applied to any known power system. Ancient One knew very well that Luke was very proficient in the concept of light and darkness, but she didn't expect that he would use light and darkness when creating the universe for the first time.

Along with the birth of the universe, some undigested substances also appeared inside, and after being fused by the rules of the universe's birth, treasures such as the Infinity Stones were born.

A soft light endowed the dark universe with light, and then special starlight began to light up like stars with the expansion of the universe. With the operation of the rules, the first batch of life appeared in the universe.

They were born with the universe, life born within the rules, and from birth they were given various responsibilities. In human terms, they are gods born with the world.

Some of them have entities, completely wrapped in hard metal. Some are celestial bodies with life and self. But more are energy-like life. They work according to the responsibilities engraved in the depths of their lives, diligently improving and promoting the evolution and growth of this new universe.

Under the work of these cosmic engineers, the second batch of life was born in the universe, and then as time went on, intelligent life appeared and created their own civilizations.

The engineers did not interfere with these civilizations, nor did they appear in front of them, but silently improved this universe according to the rules. As time passed, there were exchanges and collisions between civilizations, and conflicts occurred. The vast war that affected most civilizations appeared for the first time in this universe. Eventually, two opposing camps were formed.

One side, when civilization was destroyed, obtained a response from the initial light of the universe at the beginning of its birth with the technology and concerted efforts of the race, and obtained energy represented by hope and miracles from it. The energy of hope enabled the civilization that suffered a catastrophic disaster to survive miraculously, and under the influence of the energy, it evolved into another kind of creature.

Under the influence of the energy of hope and miracle light, this growing and prosperous civilization became the main force to protect weak civilizations and lives. They helped those civilizations that were on the verge of extinction and disaster, and then collected the light of hope and miracle from these civilizations.

Another powerful civilization that conquered and enslaved many civilizations and established a cosmic empire launched an endless camp war with it.

"Referenced the Titans and the Celestials?"

Looking at the powerful lives that appeared in the new universe, Ancient One had her own judgment in her heart. And realized Luke's intention to create this kind of universe.

That is the creation of purified psionic energy! For example, in the universe in front of you, the light representing hope and miracles, and the darkness of destruction and destruction, will accumulate more than other psionic energy. Under the operation of the rules of the new universe, these two energies will become the cornerstone and even the mainstream.

And Luke will definitely not stop after creating one universe, then other psionic energy universes will also be customized one after another according to needs. The advantage of doing this is that it saves the trouble of a certain filtering process, and greatly enhances the characteristics and quality of psionic energy.

This is a slightly [monotonous] psionic universe. Unlike the comprehensiveness of the psionic energy of the main universe, this is divided into primary and secondary.

"It is enough to just assign an observer to report information regularly." Seeing Luke at the moment, she no longer had the desire to continue observing. He had already verified the stability and operation of the new universe, and the rest were just some details for him. At most, it was just a matter of making some adjustments according to the situation. These problems can be judged and handled by those engineers themselves.

"Do you need to customize a magic universe?" Luke asked Ancient One, "I can provide you with a customized blank, you only need to set the energy attributes according to the instructions I provide you, and then let it take shape, self-operate, and grow. It can be your source of energy, or it can become a resource of knowledge for mages."
