“What’s going on? What happened?”
Seeing the abnormalities on Steve and Thor, Tony couldn’t care less about Peter and hurriedly manipulated his armor to fly down.
Compared to investigating Peter’s anomaly, the sudden and bizarre mutation on his teammates right now was a more urgent crisis.
Furthermore, everything Peter had just done also proved that he was at least currently standing on their side, rather than the opposite side.
Peter and Strange exchanged glances, both seeing shock and suspicion in each other’s eyes.
One of them was a time-traveler who knew all Marvel plots and insighted into the future trend, and the other was the Sorcerer Supreme who had traversed tens of millions of endings.
But the bizarre mutation before their eyes completely exceeded all cognition and plot reserves of them both.
Without delay, the two figures moved in unison, diving down to land closely behind Tony.
“Ugh ah—”
Steve let out a short, suppressed grunt, his originally gentle and resolute face gradually turning ferocious and distorted.
In just such a short while, half of his body was already covered with dense purplish-black veins, and the veins on his body surface bulged and twisted.
His originally proportioned and robust arm forcefully grew a third thicker.
His whole person exuded a bizarre aura of out-of-control violence.
Thor’s situation on the side was slightly better; his uniquely endowed Asgard god-tier physique barely suppressed the spread and erosion of the bizarre veins.
But his brows were tightly locked, his teeth clenched, his forehead constantly breaking out in cold sweat, and his muscles tense all over.
He was clearly enduring extreme erosion and severe pain.
“The situation is not right… There is some unknown force eroding my body!” Thor low-roared in a deep voice, his voice carrying undisguised trembling.
Having traversed the Nine Realms for so many years, he had never seen such a bizarre situation.
Even if he gripped the stormbreaker and drove the power of Thor, he unexpectedly couldn’t expel this bizarre force!
Boom!
Not far away, a sudden explosion ripped through the calm!
A resting Wakanda warrior’s body suddenly surged, his thin clothes instantly blown apart by the tensed muscles, and his physique forcefully expanded two or three parts.
His eyes were red, his expression frantic, and he completely lost his sanity, violently pouncing on the comrades around him like a berserk Beast, tearing and fighting crazily without any pattern.
Before Peter and the others could be shocked, similar situations appeared on the battlefield one after another.
Among them were Tony, Rocket Raccoon, War Machine Rhodes, Black Widow Natasha, and Hulk who had lost an arm, etc.
Familiar figures one after another successively showed purplish-black veins, being eroded by the unknown force to varying degrees of severity.
What was even more horrifying was that many Black Order monsters whose hearts or other parts had simply been pierced actually struggled to crawl up from the ground again!
For a time, the battlefield that had already tended to calm became chaotic again.
Strange looked solemn, immediately squatting down to quickly check the traces on Steve and Thor.
magic halos lit up at his fingertips, touching these purplish-black veins, hoping to investigate the source.
Peter also supported Tony who had almost collapsed to the ground, his expression turning solemn.
But at the same time, he also cautiously wrapped himself with his Superman Field.
“Something’s wrong… This situation is way too wrong.”
His Spider-Sense was actually vibrating!
Spider-Sense was Spider-Man’s exclusive passive, and at times could even briefly foresee the future.
If looked into deeply, perhaps it might be because every Spider-Man was chosen by the spider totem, and the spider totem was the maintainer of the web of life and destiny.
Spider-Sense was the pre-judgment of future destiny after Spider-Man connected to the web of life and destiny.
Of course, different Spider-Mans also had slight differences in performance in this regard.
The only thing for sure was that when one encountered a danger sufficient to threaten oneself, the Spider-Sense would definitely react!
Then the question came.
He was currently Superman Spider-Man!
A cosmic-level entity capable of tearing Thanos apart with bare hands!
Even the mohawk couldn’t do this.
Such a Strange virus-like symptom actually made even him feel threatened?
Wait!
A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Peter’s mind, and he felt as if he had grasped something.
He released his Superman perception.
One kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers, one hundred kilometers…
Sure enough!
Similar symptoms currently only appeared in this area where they were located.
Moreover, those with the most severe conditions and fastest attacks were unexpectedly Steve, Natasha, Rhodes, Scott, Tony and others, followed by Thor and Hulk.
“This fucking wouldn’t be a quantum virus!!!” Peter was greatly alarmed.
In Marvel’s What If…?
series of works, there had been a zombie Universe setting: the original Ant-Man Hank Pym entered the Quantum Realm to find his wife Janet, only to find that Janet had turned into a zombie.
After returning from the Quantum Realm, the original Ant-Man turned into a zombie and bit the second-generation Ant-Man Scott Lang.
The virus thus spread across Blue Star and eventually infected the entire Universe.
Although the Strange symptoms before him didn’t look like zombies, they instead leaned more toward a “demonic” state that eroded the mind and alienated the flesh.
Violent, frantic, losing sanity.
But judging from the current situation, it seemed to have an inseparable relationship with the Quantum Realm as well.
The most direct evidence was that everyone with the most severe symptoms was an executor of the [Time Hijack Plan]!
The reason why Hulk and Thor’s symptoms were slightly lighter was probably because both of their physiques were strong enough.
And the others were either pure ordinary human physiques or merely mortals who injected serum.
Those infected Wakanda warriors, Kamar-Taj sorcerers, etc., he guessed the source of infection should be Thanos’s Black Order!
Obviously, when passing through the quantum tunnel and coming to the present from the past, Thanos and his Black Order were all infected!
It’s just that the virus hadn’t broken out just now.
Until now, the symptoms of the virus suddenly burst out.
“What on earth is this thing… It has some traces of the Dark Dimension, but it’s mixed with other things…”
Doctor Strange withdrew his probing magic fingertips, his brows tightly locked, his expression solemn to the extreme.
He had just exhausted all he learned in his lifetime, searching through the knowledge base in his mind, but had completely no clue whatsoever.
This was the most powerless investigation since he practiced magic.
“I have a plan, but I’m not sure if it’s useful.” Peter raised his head and said.
As the words fell, whether it was the solemn-looking Doctor Strange or the group of Steve and Thor on the ground enduring severe pain and bitterly suppressing the alienation, they all subconsciously raised their eyes to look at him, a trace of faint hope burning in their eyes.
Everyone was already at their wit’s end; at this moment, as long as there was a shred of hope, it was worth everyone pinning their hopes on it.
