The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics
#259 - Each with his own agenda
If Reed, who became the Creator in the Ultimate Universe, still cared about anyone, it would be Susan Storm, the Invisible Woman. Reed wouldn't be able to let go of Susan for a very long time.
He even hinted to Susan multiple times that he wanted to get back together, but was rejected by the Invisible Woman. Despite Susan's firm rejections, she would still go back to Reed when she encountered problems she couldn't solve.
Of course, there were also many times when Reed proactively sought her out to help solve problems. He was truly an old simp, but this also shows that his ex-girlfriend still held a place in his heart.
Moreover, Susan was snatched away by his good buddy who he had helped several times, so the impact of Yang Le's words was imaginable, its power in Reed's heart was no less than an antimatter bomb.
It's just a pity that Yang Le couldn't see Reed's broken expression because of the helmet, but judging from the fact that Reed's exposed mouth was about to grind his teeth to pieces, he definitely wasn't feeling good.
His teeth gnashing, Reed finally endured it. He wasn't confident in taking down Yang Le in front of him, so starting a war in his own lair was obviously unwise. It would not only destroy his years of hard work but also potentially cost him his life.
"There's no need for such harsh words," Reed said after calming down. "Although our first impressions of each other weren't very good, I believe this won't affect our subsequent cooperation."
"Oh?" Yang Le feigned surprise. "An invader is actually talking about cooperation with me?"
Reed said calmly, "If you didn't have the strength, why would I talk about cooperation with you? It is precisely because of your strength that we are having this conversation here."
Reed's words were very true. If Yang Le didn't have enough power, Reed wouldn't be able to stand here and communicate with Yang Le calmly after being insulted. Perhaps the scene of Yang Le insulting him wouldn't have even occurred; Reed would have directly killed them all and then left with the Omnitrix.
And Yang Le also knew that Reed wouldn't become irreconcilable with him because of a few words. Compared to the small loss in words, Reed cared more about actual gains and losses.
This kind of choice is like choosing between dying Dian Wei and living Jia Xu; the choice is obvious at a glance.
Moreover, Reed's words implied that Yang Le's strength was enough to make him afraid, so he chose to cooperate. This already had a hint of softening, so Yang Le wouldn't keep pressing him.
"Okay, what do you want to talk about with me?" Yang Le no longer confronted him aggressively. Who knows if Brain-Reed has any disgusting tricks up his sleeve? It's better not to push him too hard.
Seeing Yang Le soften his stance, Reed also breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that Yang Le was like Thor, a dimwit who wouldn't listen to persuasion once he started fighting. Fortunately, it seems that the other party is at least someone with normal intelligence.
So, Reed told Yang Le about the multiverse crisis he had observed. Unsurprisingly, Reed was indeed eyeing Yang Le's Omnitrix. This was something he had never seen in all the universes he had observed or destroyed in the past.
Therefore, in order to save the entire multiverse, Reed had no choice but to place his hope on the Omnitrix in Yang Le's hands. He hoped that this unknown little thing could give him some inspiration.
Yang Le curled his lips, but because he was still in Ghostfreak form, Yang Le could only move his eyeballs. He knew that Brain-Reed was just pulling a tiger's skin to scare him. Yang Le knew very well that Brain-Reed only wanted to protect his own Ultimate Universe. As for whether other universes lived or died, it was none of his business.
Moreover, save? More like rule!
While Yang Le was slandering in his heart, Reed had already finished his long and high-sounding nonsense, revealing his true purpose.
"In summary, I hope you can temporarily lend me the device on your wrist, even if it's just to let me examine it. This is all for the sake of the entire multiverse."
Faced with the impassioned Brain-Reed, Yang Le simply said one sentence.
"Do I look like the Hulk to you?"
Okay, no need to say any more. Reed understood Yang Le's meaning. He originally thought Yang Le was a moral paragon like Captain America, seeing that he unconditionally helped the Zombie Universe, but it seems he was wrong.
"Listen, Reed," Yang Le called out to Brain-Reed, who was still thinking of countermeasures. "I know you better than you think. You don't need to show off your tricks in front of me. To be honest, I don't believe a single word you say."
In fact, not only Brain-Reed, but Yang Le would only believe half of what the Reeds from other universes said. These intellectual superheroes who failed to get into art school are all a bit deceitful.
"I can reveal a piece of information to you," Yang Le said slowly, looking at the silent Reed. "All multiverses will be destroyed, and in the end, two universes will remain: the 1610 universe where you are, and the center of the multiverse, the 616 universe."
The fact that these two universes will remain is almost inevitable, because the average combat power of these two universes far exceeds that of other multiverses. Not to mention the 616 main universe, Reed himself in the Ultimate Universe destroyed about 67 universes in the original work.
It's more like the survival of these two universes is the result of the Celestials' intervention. After all, in the late stages of the multiverse's destruction, many multiverses could be observed disappearing unknowingly. Yang Le doesn't think this is a speed that normal destruction can achieve.
Brain-Reed lowered his head and pondered. As an intellectual who had observed many universes, he naturally knew the 616 main universe, and he also knew that most of the superhumans in the main universe were far superior to those in other universes. Brain-Reed doesn't know what others think, but he himself is not very convinced by the Reed of the main universe.
"Moreover, the destruction of the multiverse cannot be stopped. Even if you destroy the 616 universe, you cannot stop the destruction of the 1610 universe," Yang Le threw out a shocking piece of news. "Because all of this is just an experiment by the Beyonders. Their purpose is to destroy all multiverses."
"So, instead of pulling strings with me here, you might as well go back and think about how to deal with those gods."
The reason why Yang Le told Brain-Reed this information was to send Brain-Reed away, because Yang Le was about to go and communicate with the two consciousnesses within the X-Superman, and he didn't want any changes to occur when he couldn't get out.
And in Yang Le's opinion, Brain-Reed is the biggest variable. Who knows what this guy will do.
Brain-Reed's mouth twitched. He could tell that what Yang Le said wasn't false without even thinking. Since he couldn't threaten the other party, Yang Le didn't need to lie to him. However, Reed also saw that Yang Le was probably hiding something from him, but unfortunately, he couldn't see what it was.
