Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 135 Five Years
For most civilizations, parallel universe is a physical hypothesis. It refers to other unknown universes that exist in parallel with the original universe.

Those universes have similarities with the original universe, but also many differences. Many scientists agree with this hypothesis, that is, in the parallel universe, there are planets similar to the earth, and there are also existences similar to human civilizations on them.

The most frequently mentioned possibility is that parallel universes are born and split due to different choices made by individuals. However, these are all hypotheses. Until they are confirmed, no one can guarantee that parallel universes really exist.

It was also because of this that when everyone heard Su Ze's words, they looked at each other, no one spoke first, and the expressions on their faces were different.

"I know this may sound a little weird, but I have no reason to lie to you. This is also my biggest secret."

Su Ze paused and continued, "Originally I didn't want to confess to you at this time, but since it involves some unknown power, I think there is no need for me to hide it anymore."

The identity of a time traveler is a secret that no one can tell. Su Ze had read quite a few novels in his previous life. Among those "precious materials", almost all the protagonists were thinking of taking this secret into their graves.

However, Su Ze didn't care about this particularly. Perhaps it was because he came to a different world. In the Marvel universe, the multiverse was so numerous that it was impossible to count.

Moreover, there are quite a lot of such cross-universe travelers, such as the Spider-Man in each parallel universe and the Deadpool in each universe. They are frequent visitors to parallel worlds.

Given his current relationship with the heroes, even if he revealed his origins, they would only be surprised and would not delve into it.

Sure enough, just as Su Ze expected, shortly after he finished speaking, Tony Stark touched his chin and muttered.

"Interesting. I didn't expect the multiverse actually exists. If this is confirmed, it will be enough to rewrite the development of the entire physics world."

Rocket Raccoon also nodded continuously. "I know that parallel universes definitely exist, but without the collapse of the wave function, we cannot cross the quantum barrier to observe other worlds."

The heroes' ability to accept things was stronger than Su Ze had imagined, and their attention quickly shifted from Su Ze's identity as a time traveler to things about the parallel universe.

However, some people at the scene were still very confused about the fact that Su Ze came from another world.

Natasha looked Suze up and down and couldn't help asking, "If you are from another world, then where is the original Kaia Black?"

"He was extinguished."

Su Ze did not hide anything and directly told the whole story of how he came here.

"I came here when Thanos snapped his fingers. At the same time I came here, Kaia Black in this world was also annihilated. This can be proved by Ms. Kalina and Lieutenant Claire."

Hearing this, Natasha and Barton looked at each other, and then they both looked at Steve Rogers.

Lieutenant Claire died heroically and her body is missing now. However, Ms. Kalina has just been rescued from the factory by Tony Stark, so it won't take too much effort for everyone to verify it.

Steve Rogers also understood that since Su Ze said these words, it meant that he had no intention of hiding anything.

The main problem now is not Suze’s origin, but where the unknown energy controlled by the Skrull Council comes from.

So after a moment of silence, Steve Rogers asked directly.

"Kaia, you just said that you came here when Thanos snapped his fingers, and the Skrull Council also obtained the unknown power at that time. Do you suspect there is a connection here?"

"That's right." Su Ze nodded. "Thanos's snap is indeed a critical time point. This is too coincidental. I can't help but doubt it."

"So where is that unknown energy now?" Patton asked.

"In my hand."

Su Ze answered immediately, but soon he realized that the answer was a bit inaccurate, so he quickly added.

"It should be said that the power has now become one with me."

"Integrate into one?"

Barton frowned. Not only him, but Carol Danvers and Thor also turned their heads to look at Suze, unable to believe what they heard.

Su Ze was mentally prepared for everyone's reactions. He tilted his head slightly and continued.

"I originally wanted to collect the cube and bring it here, but when I touched it, it suddenly turned into pure energy and merged into my body. So now I am as confused as you are. I don't know why this happened."

"Do you feel anything wrong?" Steve Rogers asked anxiously. He didn't care about that energy, he was mainly worried about Su Ze's safety.

The Avengers heroes had previously heard Carol Danvers talk about the parliament's methods, and that strange flesh and blood monster left a deep impression on them.

At this moment, after hearing Su Ze say that the energy had merged with him, everyone's first reaction was whether Su Ze would also become that monster that was neither human nor ghost. "Don't worry, I'm fine, and because of this energy, I also got some important information."

Su Ze didn't want everyone to focus on the fact that he had obtained spatial energy, so he took the opportunity to divert the topic to another direction.

"I can feel that it is pure spatial force and is closely related to me, so this is the main reason why I suspect it does not belong to this universe."

"When you put it that way, it does make sense." Carol Danvers frowned and thought for a moment before speaking. "Your superpowers are very similar to those of the Skrulls, but there's something indescribable about them."

With the opening of Captain Marvel, Jessica Jones couldn't help but speak out.

"The Skrulls rely on this energy to evolve into Super Skrulls, and isn't your superpower, Kaia, the same as that of a Super Skrull?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought.

Most of the people sitting here have witnessed Suze's superpowers with their own eyes. His method of transforming into other people and then using their extraordinary abilities is indeed similar to that of the Super Skrulls.

If Su Ze's superpowers really come from that unknown energy, then it can also explain why the strange cube has merged with Su Ze.

Su Ze did not expect that his unintentional action would actually cleverly resolve the problem, and these heroes even took the initiative to help him make the logic round out.

But at the same time, a new problem emerged.

Tony Stark looked at Suze and asked, "Since that energy comes from the same source as you, don't you know where it came from?"

"That's the problem, I really don't know." Su Ze spread his hands.

Tony Stark asked again.

"So how did you get your super powers?"

Okay.

One lie needs a thousand lies to make up for it. Now Su Ze knows what this sentence means.

Although Su Ze was prepared to be questioned by everyone after revealing his identity as a time traveler, he really didn't expect that things would develop to the point where he would have to make up an origin story for himself.

It seems that every superhero has his or her own origin story, and their starting point is often accompanied by a tragedy or injustice.

Su Ze lowered his head and recalled, his thoughts returned to the night of his birthday.

The hosts and guests were having a great time, and everything was so natural. It seemed like there was nothing to learn from.

After a pause, Su Ze raised his head and said slowly, "I didn't have any superpowers before. My abilities were gradually stimulated after I came to this world."

"After coming here, I accidentally gained super powers, and it is related to that unknown energy." Tony Stark touched his chin and couldn't figure it out for a while.

Even for someone with a high IQ, he couldn't make any useful guesses before conducting a comprehensive test on Su Ze.

After all, Tony Stark relies on technology, not mutations.

"Kaia, can you tell me about the world you were in before?"

At this time, Natasha spoke up, the question she had wanted to ask just now.

"I don't think an ordinary person coming to the new world can integrate into this place so quickly. No offense, but you seem to be too comfortable with it. None of us even noticed the flaw."

"I can explain this." Su Ze calmly told the story he had prepared in advance.

"The universe I was in before is no different from yours. If I really have to explain it, it's probably because the list of extinctions I know is subtly different from yours."

After listening to Su Ze's words, everyone became much more alert. They stared at Su Ze intently, waiting for his next explanation.

“The time point where I am now is five years after the Shining Crisis. In my world, in addition to the heroes who have been Shining, Princess Shuri is also on the Shining list, while Talos, the former leader of the Skrulls who worked with Nick Fury, survived.

In fact, the general development paths of the two sides are the same. At first, I thought I had returned to five years ago, but when I arrived in Wakanda and saw Princess Shuri, I gradually began to doubt.

What really convinced me that this world was different was that in my timeline, there was no secret invasion by the Skrulls in the five years after the Shining Crisis.
