“I’ve been informed of Xu Fu’s impending awakening, so I faked my betrayal of the Mi clan and joined the undead. I did this in order to stop Xu Fu’s awakening, but I was one step short” Mi Yi explained with a heavy expression.
Everyone in the Ultra Space-Time Squad was looking at Mi Yi’s expression with scrutiny. This traitor of the Mi clan had suddenly come to them, saying that he brought a message from Xu Fu, at the same time, he also explained that he betrayed the Mi Clan in order to infiltrate the undead, borrowing their strength to reach and destroy the source of the undead: Xu Fu.
“In the future I experienced, Mi Yi did indeed betray Xu Fu for an unknown reason, but he definitely did not come here last time” Major Cage told everyone within the group telepathy that Constantine created, which made everyone in the Ultra Space-Time Squad feel a bit less suspicious towards Mi Yi.
“Then, what is the message Xu Fu told you to bring?” Rip asked.
“He said that he was fully aware of your measures and had fully analyzed them. If you cannot become stronger, the only thing he will grant you during the second encounter will be death, he won’t even give you the chance to suicide and reset the timeline” Mi Yi frowned a bit as he said that
Before the two groups even fought one another, Xu Fu had already claimed to be fully aware of their capabilities, could Xu Fu have also gained a precognition ability as well?
Mi Yi then turned towards the Ultra Space-Time Squad.
According to the ancestor’s records, these people are time travelling heroes.
If time travel was possible, then wouldn’t precognition also be possible?
Hearing Mi Yi’s words, the entire Ultra Space-Time Squad froze, instantly understanding what happened. Xu Fu did not lose his memories from the timeline reset, which was another ability that was beyond their expectations.
After a short moment of thinking, Rip told Mi Yi: “You’re a smart person, so you probably have your own assumptions. We have certainly fought against Xu Fu once in the future, during which you succumbed to Xu Fu’s control, slowly being turned into his incarnation while losing yourself”
“I don’t care what your true purpose is, but I just want you to understand that Xu Fu already knows about your betrayal. You might still be alive right now, but once you lose your value, you will surely lose your life. I want you to tell us everything you know and have seen about him up to now, only by uniting together would we have a chance to defeat Xu Fu”
Mi Yi took a deep breath and held back his shock, although he had already expected this somewhat when the truth was laid bare, he couldn’t help himself from feeling frightened.
Mi Yi then began to explain everything that had happened after his meeting with Xu Fu in detail, emphasizing everything he felt to be suspicious. In the end, he even explained his idea of World – Man – Will triple synchronization to Mi Ze.
“He’s becoming stronger with every passing moment. But he’s also constantly getting lost in his thoughts, so I suspected that he might be communicating with others” Mi Yi told them his conjectures, which the Ultra Space-Time Squad also agreed with, after all, without some outside force, Xu Fu couldn’t possibly have gained so much lateral power in such a short period of time.
“We can’t observe the future at all. Without changing the undead timeline, we would never be able to see the future or communicate with the SCR Foundation” The Doctor shook his head and reported after operating his time machine for a while, explaining: “We won’t be able to find out who was helping Xu Fu as well”
“Then, there’s only one solution” Rip stood up and looked towards T-800, who was wielding a shotgun with a cold expression.
“T-800, execute secret code: Smith”
The T-800 robot whose sense of presence had never been too great began to turn his head, his internal data could almost be seen moving in his eyes, followed by a series of nonsensical code. Bright blue lines of 0s and 1s began flowing out from inside T-800’s body, enveloping him.
T-800’s appearance rapidly changed until he turned into a tall thin man with neatly combed hair, wearing a black suit and the same sunglasses that T-800 had.
However, unlike T-800, his sense of coldness carried some wickedness to it, which felt like a natural-born villain.
T-800 was a machine created by the remnants of the Machine timeline, his body containing the mastermind behind the destruction of the Machine timeline, a broken antivirus program that had turned into a virus itself: Agent Smith.
His frigid gaze scanned through everyone in the room, then immediately leapt to attack Rip who was the closest to himself. Being a virus that managed to destroy an entire timeline, Smith had various supernatural abilities, which included short-term cognitive abilities as a result of analyzing mass data, a superhuman constitution, close-combat expertise, as well as the BUG-like ability of a self-replicating code.
Whoever got infected with Smith’s code would become another Smith, and it was thanks to this unlimited self-replication that he completely destroyed the stability of the Machine timeline.
“Initiate secret protocols: destroy…” right as Rip declared this, he abruptly stopped. His eyes opened wide as some of his forgotten memories suddenly resurfaced.
The first stop on the Ultra Space-Time Squad’s journey was never to save Mi Liang, it was at the beginning of time to stop Negary from taking control of humanity. The reason why they took Smith with them in the first place was to kill the super virus that was Negary.
But quite obviously, they failed miserably during that battle. Furthermore, it was thanks to their failure that Negary managed to further analyze this world and initiated the parallel worlds project.
After that battle, their memories became greatly twisted and their goal became to stop the undead timeline, they essentially became a group of lab rats in Negary’s living statues parallel world.
What Rip didn’t know was that in the beginning, Negary actually created only a few dozen parallel worlds using the timeline remains within the Inexistent World, each of which contained the same Ultra Space-Time Squad who went against the trend of the world, which further stimulated the creation of more parallel worlds.
They were essentially the catalysts within a chemical reaction, causing the reactions within each parallel world ‘lab’ to explosively react without being used up.
As soon as Rip recalled Negary’s existence, another soul entered his soul through this piece of memory. In the first place, it was due to this approaching soul that Rip managed to recall his forgotten memories.
“…Destroy Xu Fu” observing the approaching Smith, Rip Z curtly stated the second half of the secret key, causing Agent Smith to stop inches away from him.
Without changing his expression, Rip Z glanced at his surrounding comrades, trying his best to contain his tears.
Look! That is Black Widow Natasha who hasn’t turned into an insect breeding machine.
That’s Constantine, the same hooligan woman with her free and unrestrained smirk who hasn’t become an irrational mindless beast.
There’s Major Cage, he still hasn’t unlocked the hidden form of his Mystic Blood and become The Omega mimic.
And there’s The Doctor who hasn’t been forced to use up all of his Regenerations and become a mutated Space-Time creature.
Even the brainwashed Dino Sapiens pets they kept now looked loveable in Rip Z’s eyes.
All of them were his close comrades in the past, but he had now completely changed. Rip Z only managed to escape from Negary’s grasp due to him choosing to fuse with T-800 when he activated Smith’s protocol, at which point he became a half-machine, half-man life form who broke through the limits of his parallel world.
Furthermore, the reason he came here this time was to receive another potential ally for their group, Xu Fu.
