American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

46. The User of the New Data Archive.



Alex, who was persistent, asked several times again. However, no matter what Alex asked, Miss Minutes remained emotionless. Even when Alex cursed at her, there was no other response.

It was as if Alex had experienced auditory hallucinations, but Alex could guarantee one hundred percent that he had indeed heard Miss Minutes's expression of deep regret and helplessness just now. The tone was something Alex would probably never forget.

After staring at Miss Minutes for a long time, Alex's initially apprehensive mood gradually calmed down. Facing such a shocking scene, anyone would feel infinite fear. But luckily, Alex wasn't "alone" this time. Although Miss Minutes wasn't human, she could still be considered a companion.

This reassured Alex and he began to carefully consider his current situation.

To be honest, Alex had experienced a similar scene of a starry sky once before, when he and Pietro used the time controller to travel. However, back then, the starry sky was more vibrant and emitted a natural aura, giving a sense of thriving tranquility.

But where Alex was now was clearly not a normal dimension. Although he had only been here for a short time, Alex felt that everything around him was precarious, as if it could be enveloped by that canopy at any moment. Fortunately, while everything here looked real, Alex could confirm that it was only a virtual image, projected into his mind like a screen.

If it weren't for this, faced with such a terrifying scene and the frightening pollution, the other party would have definitely attempted cognitive corruption or body decay upon observing Alex to achieve its purpose.

But after watching for so long, nothing happened. The other party didn't even notice Alex, the "observer." This meant that this wasn't real, or rather, it was just one of the image data saved inside the time controller.

And the one who brought Alex here was undoubtedly the time controller. Alex didn't know what had happened to the Time Variance Authority, but he was sure that this Time Variance Authority was not the one from the American TV series he remembered, established by someone named "Kang."

Because no matter how powerful Kang was, his influence on the multiverse couldn't extend to DC's multiverse, let alone observe such a horrifying scene.

At this moment, Alex was extremely curious about the origin of this scene. He wanted to know who could be in such a spectacular place, observing and recording such amazing images. But before that, Alex focused all his attention on the expressionless Miss Minutes. She was still mechanically speaking.

"Data loss. System file error."

After thinking for a moment, Alex interrupted her.

"If the system file is in error, then let's create a new one."

This time, as Alex's voice fell, Miss Minutes finally stopped repeating her cold words and showed a hint of humanity. Her eyes moved slowly and locked onto Alex.

"Do you want to create a new data file?"

Alex narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded in response.

"Yes."

"Creating new data file. Data file creation successful. Updating system space. Residual data information detected."

"Data has been damaged and is unusable. Attempting recovery. Recovery failed."

"Detecting backup data. Updating."

"Backup data cannot be retrieved due to lack of permissions. Would you like to clear damaged data?"

"No, do not clear," Alex immediately refused. Though he didn't know what the damaged and unretrievable data was, deleting it would mean losing everything, which Alex didn't want.

"Retaining and caching original data. Data file update complete."

"System rebooting."

Ding!

With a crisp sound, Miss Minutes emitted a faint ticking sound, and at the same time, her expression immediately became more animated.

She smiled at Alex and leaned in a bit, asking affectionately, "Hello, I am the assistant steward Miss Minutes of the Time Variance Authority. Would you like to keep my original name or give me a new one?"

Alex's mouth slightly opened, and internally, he wasn't as calm as he appeared on the surface. Though he didn't know exactly what had happened, from the current situation, this Miss Minutes might have become his "exclusive item" and was now linked to him.

Seeing this, Alex couldn't help but laugh silently. So, the time traveler finally had a "system," huh? And what a peculiar system it was.

"Keep your original name, Miss Minutes. Please introduce me to the environment I am currently in."

"Alright. This appears to be an image retained from the previous data archive. There are no similar records in the system, perhaps the data has been damaged or rendered unusable, and I cannot detect where we are currently located."

"Can I leave here?" Alex asked again.

"Anytime, Master."

Hearing this, Alex finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was best to leave, but this place wasn't bad either. At least there was no one else to interrupt Alex's communication with Miss Minutes here. So, Alex wasn't in a hurry to leave.

After all, the topics to be discussed next were not simple. If others heard these secrets, it could lead to accidents. Alex wasn't worried about Pietro knowing these insider details, but there was still Old Batman outside, not to mention the Kryptonian who could monitor the entire world. Alex didn't dare to be too outspoken.

"Don't call me Master, just call me by my name. I'm Alex."

"Alright. Would you like to enter a new identity?" Miss Minutes tilted her head, or rather her body, and asked.

"New identity? What identity do I have now?" Alex was curious.

"You are currently the user of the data archive, the owner of the time controller, and also my Master, possessing the highest authority over this data archive," Miss Minutes's tone even contained a hint of admiration.

"I see." Alex nodded silently, rubbing his chin with his hand. "No wonder I couldn't access the previous data or the data stored in the backup. I guess the previous user set permissions that prevent me from viewing them. But it's alright, as long as they're not deleted, I'll figure it out someday."

But for now, Alex asked the question he most wanted to know.

"How much charge did you get from Little Barry Allen ?"
