121. Collision of Realities!
"It's you!"
The Punisher suddenly drew his gun. He had emptied the magazine, but he still had one last bullet, originally intended for himself. "You are that guy's spy. It has altered your perception, just like it did to Deadpool!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Moon Knight. They couldn't believe that with Moon Knight's abilities and multiple personalities, he could be influenced by that entity.
"I was too arrogant... we were all too arrogant." Moon Knight casually tossed the shattered card to the ground, a nearly maniacal smile appearing on his face. Moon Knight suddenly removed his hood—
To everyone's horror, underneath Moon Knight's hood was Deadpool's mask!
"Be careful, cognitive contamination has begun!" Doctor Strange warned.
Seeing this, everyone except the Punisher stepped back several paces, trying to distance themselves from the now erratic Moon Knight to ensure their safety.
"Give up, Frank," Moon Knight said. "Our sacrifice is crucial and meaningful. It is watching us, praising us, and it will accept us."
"And you are now insane, Marc! Or whoever you are, I don't even know what has been shoved into your broken body!" The Punisher glared at Moon Knight and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The bullet instantly pierced Moon Knight's chest, but surprisingly, not a drop of blood emerged from his white uniform, and even the bullet wound vanished in the blink of an eye.
"It's useless, Frank. It's all over. No one can leave this place, no one."
Moon Knight's words were cut short by a sudden, violent shaking. This was not an earthquake-like tremor but felt as if the entire space was undergoing intense friction and collision, the deafening roar reverberating through the air.
"What did you do!?" The Punisher, holding his magic wand, glared angrily. If Moon Knight's state wasn't so bizarre, he would have already lunged at him, trying to stab him. But faced with the Punisher's question, Moon Knight also seemed stunned. He glanced blankly at the Punisher and then looked around, seemingly curious about how all this was happening.
"It wasn't him. It's something else..."
At this moment, Doctor Strange spoke. He formed a mudra with his hands, and the Eye of Agamotto slowly opened at his command. Now, he could see things that normal people couldn't.
Amid countless complex, twisted lights and shadows, everything at the border of reality was disintegrating. Numerous buildings were vibrating at high frequencies, as if something was shaking them intensely, but this shaking didn't cause any damage to the buildings, only making their outlines blurry.
Slowly, a sense of tearing came over. With the help of the Eye of Agamotto, Doctor Strange could clearly see everything in his vision undergoing 'splitting.'
No, calling it splitting wasn't accurate.
It was like light and shadow separating. Under a spotlight, a photo of the entire city of New York was now slowly splitting apart, vibrating at high speed left and right, gradually turning into two identical photos.
"I understand now."
At this moment, Doctor Strange finally understood Alex's purpose. He widened his eyes, incredulous at the spectacular scene that would be unforgettable for a lifetime.
"W-what's going on?" Karolina frowned deeply, the apocalyptic scene making her extremely uneasy.
"Reality is splitting. Someone outside has released a powerful energy that created another reality overlapping with ours, and..." Doctor Strange murmured.
"And what?" Karolina asked anxiously.
"And the two overlapping realities are separating!" Doctor Strange shouted. "Hold onto something, brace yourselves. Something is coming!"
As if to prove Doctor Strange's words, a more violent tremor struck just after he spoke. Everyone present fell to the ground in the sudden weightlessness. Then, mist-like lights and shadows flickered in the air. In the stunned expressions of the onlookers, a massive cruise ship appeared in the sky out of nowhere, then, under the influence of gravity, it fell, crashing down on the Brooklyn Bridge and smashing it.
From a distance, everyone could clearly hear the desperate screams of terrified people on the cruise ship—they had no idea what was happening or why they were suffering such an undeserved catastrophe. The appearance of the cruise ship was just a sign, or perhaps, merely the beginning.
Two glowing orbs sped through the air, leaving long trails of light as they raced down the street, passing swiftly in front of everyone.
"What the hell is that!?" The Punisher got up, nearly getting hit by the two orbs.
From their appearance, the Punisher highly suspected they were invisible ghost cars because the height and shape of those orbs, along with their trajectory, looked too much like a sedan, but for some reason, except for the lights, nothing else could be seen.
"Those are headlights, most likely." Doctor Strange answered the Punisher's question. "Reality is disintegrating. Our dimension is also being affected. Now, everything in one reality is colliding with our dimension."
"What will be the result?" The Punisher froze, then turned to look at Doctor Strange.
But Doctor Strange didn't answer. Suddenly, four hands grew from behind him—two covering his ears, two covering his eyes, and his own two hands covering his mouth. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Seeing Doctor Strange's actions, the Punisher turned to look at John. Among the people present, only Doctor Strange and John had any understanding of magic.
"The result is, we die." Karolina spoke up. One of her original teammates had also been learning magic.
According to her knowledge, if two realities collided, either one would be completely obliterated, or both worlds would be doomed.
"No, technically, we are still alive."
At this moment, John spoke. He looked up at the sky that was like a shattered mirror, about to collapse. In the cracks of the broken sky, a bizarre, twisted entity resembling a chrysalis was stretching out its tentacles.
"We survive in another reality."
