American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

47. Horrifying Thoughts.

"How much charge did Little Barry Allen give you from running for so long?"

Upon hearing Alex's question, Miss Minutes blinked and immediately replied, "According to the detection, the current charge is 63%, unlocking most of the functions' usage permissions."

"Sixty-three, huh? How is this 'charge' calculated? And how does it usually get consumed?"

"Under normal circumstances, the charge consumption is negligible, even supplying my existence won't have a significant impact, because strictly speaking, the primary function of the timepad is time travel, and other functions are secondary, with minimal charge consumption."

Miss Minutes turned around, showcasing her body, then continued, "As for charge calculation, it's based on energy. 1% of charge is approximately equivalent to the total energy of a small-scale star explosion. However, different energies have varying effects on charge replenishment, with some mystical energies providing a greater boost."

Listening to this, Alex nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that he would have to test different energy conversions for charge replenishment in the future.

At the same time, Alex was somewhat conflicted. Despite Little Barry Allen getting exhausted from his super speed run, the 63% charge seemed sufficient at first glance. However, Alex couldn't just treat Little Flash as a charging device. Sixty-three percent charge was far from as abundant as Alex had imagined.

The timepad was Alex's biggest trump card, and naturally, he couldn't give up on it. To freely use it, Alex needed to find a way to recharge it for prolonged use.

Currently, the best way to quickly gather vast amounts of supernatural energy for recharging was through the Flash's speed. However, the speed force wasn't stable, existing only in the DC multiverse. If the Flash left this multiverse, he would instantly lose his speed force, becoming an ordinary person.

In other words, if Alex wanted to utilize this machine, he had to reserve a portion of the charge. When it was running low, he had to quickly find the Flash for recharging to ensure long-term use of the timepad .

However, Alex knew that this was an impossible task. Before understanding the connections between multiverses, Alex didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket. Apart from the speed force, Alex also needed to find other sources of energy for recharging, preferably a portable charging device.

Setting aside the charge issue, what intrigued Alex the most about the timepad was its ability to freely traverse timelines and even multiverses.

"Miss Minutes, can you tell me more about the specific functions of the timepad? If I recall correctly, traversing multiverses isn't something a small machine like this can do."

"According to the production records, this timepad has perfect functionality for traversing sacred timelines and various temporal branches, including dimensional traversal, time travel, and space travel."

Miss Minutes excitedly introduced, seeming particularly happy to assist Alex.

"Dimensional traversal refers to traversing different dimensions within specific timelines, time travel refers to freely traversing different time periods within timelines, and space travel refers to freely traversing different multiverses formed by timeline branches."

"Sacred timelines? Timeline branches?"

Listening to Miss Minutes 's explanation, Alex not only didn't resolve his doubts but instead, became even more confused. Seriously, with Batman, the Flash, and Supergirl standing outside, are you telling me this is Marvel's sacred timeline? In other words, has the DC multiverse become part of the Marvel multiverse?

Looking at Miss Minutes 's smiling face, Alex deeply doubted the credibility of this situation.

"Do you think we're still in the old place? Can you tell me which universe I'm in now?"

"Respected Lord Alex, we are indeed within the sacred timeline created by the Time Keepers," Miss Minutes said with a big smile.

Pausing for a moment, Alex's face gradually became serious.

"Say that again?"

"Respected Lord Alex, we are indeed within the sacred timeline created by the Time Keepers."

"Wait a minute. Who are these Time Keepers you're talking about?" Alex didn't answer but instead asked another question, interrupting her words.

Miss Minutes seemed puzzled. "Who are the Time Keepers? The Time Keepers are the Time Keepers."

Seeing Miss Minutes 's expression, Alex frowned. It seemed that things were completely different from what he had thought, even worse than he had imagined. Thinking about this, Alex asked again.

"No, everything can be described. The Time Keepers you mentioned should have an appearance. Let me guess, those Time Keepers, could they be three humanoid creatures that look like lizards?"

"Yes, they even wear yellow robes!" Miss Minutes said proudly.

Contrary to Miss Minutes 's happy expression, Alex's heart sank instantly. This is a big problem! This timepad is actually created by the TVA in my memory, which is the Time Variance Authority that controls the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But this simply doesn't make sense.

The so-called Time Variance Authority controls a timeline that's just a variation created by Kang the Conqueror. How could they possibly influence the Marvel comic universe? Moreover, Alex is currently in the DC multiverse, far beyond their reach.

"Do you know Loki?" Alex asked.

"There are no records of this name in the system. Would you like to create a special document for it?"

"Do you know Kang?" Alex didn't answer but instead asked after thinking for a moment.

"There are no records of this name in the system. Would you like to create a special document for it?" The repeated response came from Miss Minutes 's mouth again.

The two answers made Alex anxious. He originally wanted to dispel some doubts through Miss Minutes , but unexpectedly, this 'Miss Minutes ' made Alex even more doubtful and even began to feel a sense of fear and unease about the unknown.

In fact, the whole thing was fishy from the start. The Marvel universe Alex initially crossed into was obviously a universe on the brink of destruction, completely unknown to anyone, either self-generated or from a Marvel comic that Alex hadn't seen.

But no matter the possibility, the timepad appearing in that universe and being collected by President X and placed in a secret room was already a terrifying thought.

Moreover, Alex was actually able to directly traverse from the Marvel universe to the DC universe through this machine, which made Alex doubt the identity of the creator of this machine or the previous owner even more.
