[Chapter 510 The Most Familiar Stranger]
Although it was confirmed that Darkseid would definitely come, David didn’t know when he would come. After all, it was a stillborn universe, and he only had a few fragments of knowledge about the future of that world:
Clark the Superman was controlled by the Anti-Life Equation and became Darkseid’s lackey; superheroes and villains suffered heavy casualties, and the few remaining people huddled together for warmth, and the whole world was desolate.
Now the only thing that can be confirmed is that with the support of Winter City, that world will not go to that future.
And Eva’s world.
Because things in Winter City were gradually on the right track, Eva became more and more idle, so she decided to lead the army back to her own world and destroy the Empire of the Rising Sun.
David learned from Laura that Eva made this decision because of some stimulation.
The establishment of Winter City was thanks to Laura’s all-round funding. In the early days, the food and supplies of Winter City (village) were all purchased by Laura.
Behind Helen is the Kingdom of Sparta, which has now officially changed its name to the Kingdom of Greece and is wantonly expanding its territory in the north of the Mediterranean.
Sofia directly gave the entire Kingdom of Tiran to David as a dowry.
Then came Elsa and Sansa, and behind them were either Arendelle or Westeros, making it seem that Eva could only act cute and do odd jobs beside David.
As a former Allied liaison officer and the housekeeper of Winter City for quite a long time, Eva actually had some pride in her heart.
Isn’t it just a world? As if everyone doesn’t have one! I’ll fight back.
“…”
David knew that Eva wanted to lead the troops to fight against the Empire of the Rising Sun in person, and it turned out to be this reason. He felt a little bit amused.
Did she forget that there was a Gwen in Winter Castle?
Gwen didn’t let Winter City have a country or even a continent as a vassal state, and she didn’t see her entangled in these things.
However, David did not dissuade Eva. He was idle anyway, and it was a good thing for Eva to have something to work hard for a long time.
But unexpectedly, Eva’s actions stimulated everyone’s competitive spirit again. Helen felt that her father’s advancement was too slow, and she was ready to take action personally and lead the army of Winter City to quickly occupy the whole of Europe.
Elsa didn’t rush back to Arendelle, saying that she wanted to unify the continent of Anera. She practiced every day, hoping that her physical fitness could be improved quickly.
Perhaps because she saw that Elsa was having fun, Anna also joined in.
Compared with Elsa, Anna seemed to have endless energy. She also knew some boxing and swordsmanship, and was more interested in the Aura Wave Fist than Elsa.
The main reason was that practicing the Aura Wave Fist could master spiritual power, which was also a special power.
Anna felt that it was a good choice to practice the same power as her sister: before, only her sister had magic power, but she didn’t. Now her sister has spiritual power, and she also has spiritual power, so this is what real sisters are like!
In this situation, the women all got busy.
After Laura came back and stayed for a few days, she took a few liters of holy light from David, and then took her friends to the continent of Anera again.
The Umbrella Mage Association had been wiped out by her, but she wanted to see what other strange things there were on this continent.
With Arcee going to the west of the continent to inspect the Evernight Empire, David was left alone, with only Sophia.
“How about I take you to a certain world for a while?”
“What world?”
“Random?”
“Can it be like this?” Sophia thought that David’s ability could only connect to new worlds through new alien visitors or positioning props, but he could also teleport randomly?
“It was not possible before, but the star gate (the abbreviation of the large inter-dimensional teleportation device made by Winter City) made by Tony and Medivh has a similar function.”
This huge teleportation device was made into a triumphal arch by Tony with a bad taste. It is currently standing in the Winter City military camp, not far from the resurrection monument, and is considered one of the two iconic buildings in the military camp.
According to Tony’s idea, a slightly smaller star gate will be built in Winter Castle in the future, so that people around David can go wherever they want.
As Winter City continues to grow, more star gates can be built in the city, and even a super-large star gate can be built outside the planetary orbit to facilitate inter-dimensional teleportation of space fleets.
Of course, all of this is still in the planning stage. Currently, there is only one star gate that looks like the Arc de Triomphe, standing in the military camp.
Tony was still busy around the star gate when he brought Sophia to the star gate.
Although the star gate has been built, the people, including Tony, have been testing, collecting various data and information, and improving it.
According to them, the star gate can currently stably connect to worlds that have been stably connected to Winter City, including Azeroth, Marvel Universe, and DC Universe.
Because these worlds have been stably connected to Winter City, there is no problem with the time flow.
But if you want to go to other worlds, there are some dangers.
“For example, the landing location and time are greatly deviated from the predetermined target.” It is not the right time to open up a new world through the star gate.
The stability of the crossing is far inferior to David’s teleportation using the positioning of people or objects.
For example, if David wants to go to the world of the special forces, he can use the token he got from the Star Trek world to stably cross to the world of the special forces, and the landing time must be shortly before the plot is about to begin.
But if you want to use the star gate to travel to that world, you can’t be sent to that world accurately. The landing time is also uncertain, maybe a few hundred years earlier or a few hundred years later.
“What about pure random teleportation?”
“Oh, there is no problem with this, because no one knows where you will be sent…” If it were someone else, Tony might warn the other party that this kind of random travel may throw you into a very “distant” world, the kind that you can’t come back from the past.
But David, there is no problem in this regard.
David has his own positioning ability, no matter what world he goes to, he can accurately return to Winter City.
In a way, he is the best candidate to test the Stargate.
Unfortunately, this is the biggest boss in Winter City, and even Tony can’t use David like he uses Steve.
But if David takes the initiative to come to the door, Tony will certainly not miss this opportunity.
“If two people teleport together, there will be no accidents, right?”
“I can guarantee this, absolutely not.”
The Stargate was built for group teleportation from the beginning. Once the channel is established, it will only send people to that place, whether it is one person or ten thousand people.
Seeing Tony patting his chest to guarantee, David looked at Sofia beside him: “How about it? Do you want to go?”
“Won’t it delay the business?”
“This time we are going to a place that has no connection with Winter City. Even if we stay for a long time, when we come back, it will only be one day here.”
One-way ticket, just send but not return. There is no need for the Stargate to forcibly connect the two worlds, which means that only when David uses the teleportation ability to open the return portal, the two worlds will establish a connection and synchronize the time flow.
This is not the ability of the Stargate, but David’s own ability. He has enough confidence in his gold finger.
“Okay, let’s do it!”
David nodded and asked Tony to prepare for random teleportation. He and Sofia went to do some preparations first.
Considering that they didn’t know what world they would go to, it was not impossible to be thrown into a desolate and uninhabited world that was not suitable for life, so they had to prepare everything in advance to avoid any accidents.
When the two of them were ready and came back with a bunch of things, it was already three hours later.
Tony had gone somewhere long ago, and Steve Rogers was waiting for them.
“Where’s Tony?”
“He went with Pepper.”
“What a good man.”
Steve nodded, didn’t say anything, just checked the time.
“Why? Do you have a date too?”
“Yeah, I made an appointment to have dinner with Peggy.”
“What are you going to do if the time comes and I haven’t come yet?”
“I’ve notified Wanda. If I don’t tell her to cancel, she will come to take over from me in an hour.”
While chatting, Steve had already activated the star gate.
The huge star gate was filled with energy. Standing in front of the gate, it was no longer possible to see the opposite side directly like before. The entire gate was filled with mysterious blue-purple energy.
After standing there and looking around for a while, David couldn’t see anything clearly. He just felt vaguely that the energy emitting spatial fluctuations was very violent, as if it could tear everything apart.
“Are you sure this thing is safe enough?”
“Yes, it’s absolutely safe.”
David didn’t ask any more questions. Steve was quite reliable. David held Sophia’s hand and cast a layer of Holy Shield on both of them.
However, when the two of them passed through the star gate and walked through the extremely short transmission channel back to the ‘real world’, David found that the surrounding environment was very normal, completely like modern Earth.
“Where is this?”
“I don’t know either.”
David looked around and found that the signs and signs around him were in traditional Chinese characters in addition to English.
Looking around again, David soon saw a familiar figure not far away.
This face… is obviously Zhou Xingxing’s classmate!
He and Sophia were randomly sent to Hong Kong by the star gate?
David was shocked. He didn’t expect that the star gate could break through the blockade and send him here.
Which world is it specifically?
Zhou Xingxing has appeared in too many worlds. Judging from his appearance and clothes, it should not be the one that catches ghosts.
In addition, the surrounding modern city environment would not be those people with ancient costumes.
“No matter who it is, follow him and you will know the answer soon.”
As a result, after following him for two steps, I saw Zhou Xingxing walking straight into the police station.
“Is it really Zhou Xingxing?”
