American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

197. Heroes from Another Universe.

"Give me the details, Tobias. I want to know exactly what happened on my land."

Red Skull looked at the words on the document, feeling his heartbeat quicken—an emotion he hadn't experienced in years. Excitement.

"Yes, Supreme Leader."

Tobias pulled out a data transfer device. Once it was connected to the mainframe, the conference room's large screen started playing a video. Simultaneously, several auxiliary screens began operating, capturing and displaying special scenes from the video so that Red Skull could clearly see everything within.

"This is a video that suddenly appeared in our network two days ago, originating from Osborn City. It shows three individuals who claim to be heroes from the 'Justice League.' They seemed to appear out of nowhere and directly killed Osborn and the extraordinary beings he had recruited, including the Enchantress."

"Osborn City… that's not far from here," Red Skull said, staring intently at the screen.

"Indeed, but Osborn City is now under the control of Baron Blood. He has renamed it 'Blood Nest' and has sent the original video and all of the city's wealth, hoping to gain your recognition."

"Baron Blood? Remind me, Tobias, is this the same vampire who caused trouble at my bar a while back?" Red Skull asked, puzzled.

"Yes, the very same. After we expelled him, he and his brood wandered the wilderness. It seems he took advantage of Osborn and his people's deaths to quickly seize control of Osborn City. Supreme Leader, should we..."

At this, Tobias made a slicing gesture across his neck, leaving no doubt as to his meaning.

Red Skull merely scoffed, amused. "He showed some brains by taking Osborn City and immediately offering his loyalty. Let him be, he's just a stray dog."

Tobias nodded silently and then carefully chose his words before continuing.

"As for these three superheroes, our technical team has made some initial speculations based on the video. The most powerful among them is the man with the 'S' on his chest. He possesses superhuman strength, speed, and durability, and his eyes can emit laser beams. The source of his powers remains unknown.

The woman, dressed like an ancient warrior, is similar in power, but she mainly fights with a sword and shield. She also wields a glowing lasso, but we haven't been able to determine the strength of these items.

Lastly, the one dressed in black, resembling a bat—our team believes he is likely just an ordinary human. He seems akin to Daredevil, with perhaps the combat prowess of Moon Knight at best."

"Hmm..."

Red Skull nodded slightly.

"And why do you believe they are from another universe? Where's the evidence?"

Anticipating this question, Tobias responded earnestly.

"Baron Blood himself is the witness. He was hiding at the scene when the battle took place. He overheard the three discussing 'this universe' and their plans."

"Wait," Red Skull interrupted. "If they have superhuman abilities, wouldn't they have superhuman hearing as well? How could Baron Blood get so close to them?"

"That... I can't say, Supreme Leader. Perhaps they don't have superhuman hearing. We still don't fully understand these heroes from another universe, after all."

"Fine, continue," Red Skull interrupted again.

"Uh, right. As for material evidence, it's provided by Doctor Doom. He was the first to detect the massive magical disturbance in Osborn City and arrived on the scene before we did.

Doom found Baron Blood and obtained some fragments of battle suits left behind after the fight. According to Doom's analysis, the materials of those suits are indeed different from anything in our universe.

While the periodic table might be the same across worlds, when it comes down to the molecular level, there are significant differences, indicating that these are not products of our universe."

"Could they be from another timeline?" Red Skull asked.

Tobias frowned slightly and then shook his head. "I don't think so. It's widely accepted that timelines are fixed. Even Kang left this timeline because of it. I doubt time travelers exist. Molecular differences indicate different universes because it suggests different fundamental rules."

"So it's true—this world has once again seen visitors from another universe, and they are a group of 'superheroes' from a parallel world."

This time, Red Skull's expression finally showed a clear change. He slowly smiled, and then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "By the way, what about the fragments of those suits? I want to see them for myself."

"They're ready, Supreme Leader." Tobias turned and retrieved a box from the counter behind him. After decoding it, he slowly opened it and displayed its contents before Red Skull.

"These are the best-preserved fragments. They were left behind after that brutal battle, and Baron Blood managed to steal them from the battlefield."

As Tobias introduced the items, Red Skull examined the box's contents.

It was a belt with a prominent bat emblem, featuring several special pockets. It seemed these pockets were meant to store various weapons and gadgets.

Red Skull curiously fiddled with the belt, but he suddenly noticed that the pockets were empty. This brought a look of slight displeasure to his face.

"What about the other fragments? And the contents of this belt? I can't believe there's nothing in here."

"In fact," Tobias began hesitantly, "we got this belt from Doom. He took all the evidence, and I suspect the items from the belt are in his possession as well."

"Doom..."

Red Skull's gaze grew cold.

"He's becoming increasingly restless lately."

"Supreme Leader, Doctor Doom has indeed been overreaching recently. According to our intelligence, Doom seems to be privately searching for magical artifacts. Should we use this opportunity to send someone to have a chat with him?" Tobias suggested.

Red Skull paused, seemingly tempted. However, as he glanced at the large screen, his eyes locked onto the three figures in the video. Ultimately, he pressed down with his hand.

"Forget him for now. There are no more magical artifacts in this world. Our focus should be on these superheroes from another universe. I don't care what Doom's schemes are or what Bullseye is planning. The most critical issue now is how to deal with these people as quickly as possible."

His gaze fell on the bat emblem on the belt, and after a moment of silence, Red Skull smiled meaningfully.

"It seems I need to have a little chat with the 'Advisor.'"
