080 A Familiar New World!
It was nearly one o'clock in the morning.
The world, which should have been quiet, was now in chaos!
All law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles, led by the FBI's Los Angeles field office, were maintaining order during the evacuation.
Marcus was still in Conference Room One of the FBI's Los Angeles field office. The nuclear fallout wouldn't arrive for at least another two hours, so Marcus wasn't in a hurry.
"Host, friendly reminder: given the strong fluctuations in the Terminator world's River of Fate, you might try searching other worlds; there might be unexpected surprises!" the System reminded Marcus.
Marcus considered it for a moment and accepted the suggestion. Although this damn system had just been mocking him, the System's suggestion made sense; after all, searching a world only cost 10 Destiny points.
"Okay, okay, I just earned so many Destiny points; spending a little is only fair. Randomly search a world," Marcus ordered.
A random search only cost 10 Destiny points, while a targeted selection cost 200.
Given Marcus's personality, 10 Destiny points for a random selection was enough!
"Please wait, the system has consumed 10 Destiny points and is attempting to search for world information and connect to the world..." The system continuously provided feedback.
"World connection successful!"
"Attempting to read information from the River of Fate..."
"Reading information from the River of Fate successful!"
"World locked successfully!"
"Host, the system has locked a randomly selected world. According to the information from the River of Fate, this world is the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Marcus was stunned. Neon Genesis Evangelion... and the movie version?
Wait!
That world seems particularly dangerous!
Marcus preferred to play it safe and develop his strength. He disliked taking risks and challenging opponents far above his level. Wasn't it better to be a safe and secure powerhouse? Why go to a dangerous world?
In the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion, whether it's bio-mechs or Angels, they all frequently possess AT fields, various energy attacks, and incredibly strong vitality.
Especially the Angels; if their core isn't destroyed, they are immortal!
This... go in and take a look?
"Are you kidding me!"
Marcus retorted directly. "Get lost, you trash system! Are you trying to get me killed?"
He then said, "I highly suspect that there's something wrong with you, you trash system. Are you trying to kill me and steal my Destiny points because I've accumulated so many?"
"Host, you're overthinking things." The System was speechless.
"I just want to tell you, even when raising livestock, you have to fatten them up first! How many Destiny points do we have now? Let's continue our cooperation; there will be many more Destiny points to come!" Marcus snorted.
"Please rest assured, host. The system belongs exclusively to you. Even if you die, the system will cooperate with your soul to merge into the void, absorb the void energy, and be reborn." The System responded.
"Tch! Not funny at all!" Marcus complained. "Alright, let's search for worlds randomly again. As for the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion, you can save the spatial coordinates first. We'll go and take a look when we're stronger."
Marcus sighed inwardly, 'After all, that world has the real Rei Ayanami...'
"Okay, host, the spatial coordinates of the Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion world have been stored, and the second random world search is underway," the System responded.
A moment later, the System continued to notify him of the discovery of a new world.
"Host, the system has locked onto the randomly selected world. According to information from the River of Fate, this world is the Godzilla world. Would you like to go and take a look?" the System inquired.
"The Godzilla world?" Marcus pondered.
This world was somewhat similar to the Pacific Rim world, but the monsters in the Godzilla world were stronger than the Kaiju in Pacific Rim.
Especially Godzilla—that thing was practically immortal; even thinking about fighting it was absurd.
"Excuse me, I can't go to this world!" Marcus still felt his life was more important. Wasn't it better to consolidate power in the Terminator and Resident Evil worlds? Why go looking for more danger?
"Do you need to store the spatial coordinates of this world?" the System asked.
"Isn't that obvious?" Marcus scoffed. "Just because I can't go now doesn't mean I can't go later. Besides, I've used up Destiny points on that, of course I have to save it!"
Marcus was a thrifty and prudent man!
"Same old rules! One last draw, and no matter the result, we won't draw anymore," Marcus instructed.
Random draws are addictive!
Marcus had great self-control; he only drew three times, and no matter the result, he would stop after three draws and would never draw more.
"Please wait, host," the System prompted, indicating that it was randomly searching for worlds.
A dozen seconds later, the System indicated that it had discovered a new world.
"Who are you? Why are you observing our world?" A somewhat androgynous female voice suddenly came, followed by a ring of sparks appearing in the conference room.
Marcus was stunned!
While Marcus was stunned, the sparkling ring formed a portal, and a bald woman in yellow robes stood at the other end of the portal.
She was observing Marcus, seemingly trying to determine his identity.
"Please rest assured, host, the other party cannot breach the dimensional barrier; they can only open a temporary window through powerful magic. There is no need to worry," the System prompted.
"Host, the system has locked onto the randomly selected world. According to information from the River of Fate, this world is..." the System explained to Marcus.
But Marcus didn't listen at all!
Because Marcus knew what world the other side was!
"Sir, please stop observing our world!" the bald woman in yellow robes warned again.
Marcus smiled. "The Ancient One?"
Yes!
It was indeed the Ancient One!
The Ancient One wasn't too surprised that Marcus recognized her so easily, because she protected Earth, and her reputation spread throughout many dimensions.
"May I ask, sir, what is your purpose?" the Ancient One inquired tentatively.
Marcus waved his hand. "I'm just taking a look at this world. Alright, Ancient One, I think we'll meet again someday. Don't worry, I'm just a dimensional traveler."
After saying that, Marcus mentally commanded, 'System, record the corresponding world spatial coordinates, then close this damn temporary window!'
"Acknowledged." The System responded.
The next moment, the portal opened by the Ancient One was closed.
In the endless spacetime, in the world designated MCU-199999, the Ancient One suddenly sighed, "Dimensional traveler?"
On the other side, in the Terminator world, the System reminded, "Host, the system does not recommend that you enter the world of MCU-199999. This world is extremely dangerous. According to feedback from the River of Fate, this world contains powerful supernatural forces and artifacts condensed from cosmic laws. Once the host enters, there is a high possibility of encountering mortal danger."
Marcus retorted, "I know that world, and I know that world is dangerous. Do I look like an idiot? How could I possibly go in!"
Marcus's life motto: Caution above all!
Caution is definitely not cowardice...
Temporal displacement warning!
