Chapter 1 The Same Moment, Inside the Spaceship Cockpit

[Target location locked]

[Switching to manual landing mode]

To guard against any sudden or unusual actions by the two individuals on the ground, Tin Foil Man chose to manually control the landing, making it easier for him to react in time.

"When I open the hatch, be careful..." Tin Foil Man said to his two companions behind him while controlling the joystick, "That's the moment most vulnerable to attack."

"Don't worry, I'll block any attack." The next second, Captain Crapstar, standing behind Tin Foil Man, replied confidently, then turned to Doctor Eternity beside him and said, "Doctor, I'll go first after the hatch opens, is that alright?"

"Of course." Doctor Eternity's attitude was always so gentle, elegant, humble, and polite.

With their plans settled, the spaceship landed a dozen meters in front of Feng Bujue and Honbu.

Before long, the hatch opened.

Captain Crapstar walked unhurriedly down the steps, followed closely by Doctor Eternity.

"Oh... friendlies?"

Although Captain Crapstar's uniform was different from what Feng Bujue remembered, the latter recognized him at a glance.

After all, the Captain's height of over three meters, v-shaped torso, and sturdy physique were all very unique, and even if his mask and bodysuit had changed a bit, it wouldn't affect his recognizability.

As for Doctor Eternity... he was originally an Earthling, and he didn't wear a mask at all, so Jue-Ge could recognize his face directly.

"Hey! Great!" Honbu also quickly recognized these two members of the Supreme Council of the Universal Superheroes Alliance. He greeted them happily, stepped forward, and said, "You're here to pick us up..."

"Please stand there and don't move, sir." Unexpectedly, Honbu was interrupted by Captain Crapstar's cold tone before he could finish speaking, and he even adopted a defensive posture.

"Huh?" Honbu was taken aback, but he quickly reacted, "Oh... right, you probably don't know me, I'm a newbie..." As he spoke, he reached for the hero ID card in his pocket, "My title is Park..."

However, just as Honbu spoke halfway and his hand was only halfway out, his words and actions stopped simultaneously; as if... he had been frozen by some kind of power.

"Doctor, you've misunderstood him." Seeing this, Feng Bujue finally spoke, "He wasn't trying to reach for a weapon."

"Oh? You know me?" Hearing this, Doctor Eternity stepped out from behind Captain Crapstar and replied.

At this moment, the short staff in the Doctor's hand was emitting a blue glow, which was clearly what caused Honbu's stiffness.

"Yes," Feng Bujue replied, "But I can see... only I know you, and you don't know me. Moreover, you seem to be harboring some hostility towards us."

"It's normal to be hostile, isn't it..." Doctor Eternity continued, "Disrupting the order of time is one of the most serious crimes in the universe. Facing villains who have committed such crimes, we don't intend to solve the problem by 'reasoning'."

"The 'criminal' you're talking about escaped before you arrived." Feng Bujue reacted quickly, and based on the current situation, he immediately thought of a response, "We are heroes who tracked him all the way here. The one you've frozen... he was just about to take out his identification from his pocket to show you."

"Is that so..." Doctor Eternity murmured, "Then... you wouldn't mind if we took out that 'identification' ourselves and confirmed it, would you?"

"Heh... of course not." Feng Bujue smiled easily, "Be my guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Eternity gave Captain Crapstar a look. The latter immediately nodded and strode to Honbu's side, carefully taking out the item from the pocket of his coat.

"What's this?" Captain Crapstar picked up the hero ID card with the words "Park Hero" printed on it and muttered.

"Hero ID card," Feng Bujue replied.

"Hero... ID card?" Captain Crapstar asked doubtfully, "I've never heard of such a thing..."

"Is that so..." Feng Bujue had basically deduced that he had arrived in the "past" based on the reactions of the two so far, so he continued, "Then I guess... you've never heard of the term 'Universal Superheroes Alliance' either?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Captain Crapstar and Doctor Eternity's expressions changed.

Of course, since Captain Crapstar was wearing a mask, Jue-Ge couldn't see his expression, but he could see his tiger-like body tremble...

"Where... did you hear that name from?" After a few seconds, Doctor Eternity asked tentatively.

"I didn't just 'hear' about it..." Feng Bujue replied, "I... and this 'Park Hero', are both heroes of the Universal Superheroes Alliance." He paused, then added, "If I'm not mistaken, the era we're in should be your 'future', that's why you don't know us and have never seen a hero ID card; in the future, every hero of the Universal Superheroes Alliance has one of these cards. And you two are both members of the 'Universal Superheroes Alliance Supreme Council', all the heroes in the alliance know you."

His words caused Doctor Eternity and Captain Crapstar to fall silent.

Feng Bujue didn't know that the Universal Superheroes Alliance had already been established at this point in time.

However, at this time, the Universal Superheroes Alliance was not a public alliance, but a "secret organization," a secret hero team that had only been established for less than two months (Earth time).

This team consisted of ten top superheroes from all over the universe, namely: Frog Knight, Tin Foil Man, Black Hole Queen, Doctor Eternity, Captain Crapstar, Thousand-Eye Knight, Poison Knight, Million-Bug King, Lucky Knight, and Mr. Low.

Usually, these ten people would carry out activities in their respective areas of responsibility. Only when they encountered a crisis of B-level or higher (although many systems were not perfect, the crisis level had already been set at that time) would they gather together to form a team to deal with the crisis.

And right now, they had rushed over with three people in close proximity because they had detected the opening of a time tunnel on Warm Ocean Star.

"What's your name?" After a full thirty seconds of silence, the spaceship's loudspeaker sounded.

"You're Tin Foil Man, right?" Feng Bujue recognized the voice. He first stated the other party's name, and then continued, "I'm Poker Knight."

"Hmm..." Tin Foil Man thought for two seconds, "Based on the existing information, you and your companion are indeed highly likely to be from the future, but the issue of your identities... and how much of what you're saying is true, and how much is false... this requires further verification."

"Understood," Feng Bujue replied, "Because we come from the future, we have an advantage in the amount of information we possess. It cannot be ruled out that I am deceiving you with information that is common knowledge to people in the future."

"Since you understand, then... I think you would also be willing to cooperate with our instructions, right?" Tin Foil Man quickly followed up.

As one of the smartest people in the universe, Tin Foil Man naturally knew very well how to press forward step by step in negotiations in order to gain benefits.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take us on the spaceship and leave this planet quickly." Feng Bujue also spoke frankly, raising his voice and replying, "No one wants to wait until the Super-Induced Spin Explosion, do they?"

…………

Twenty minutes later.

The "Tin Powder" spaceship that everyone was riding in had already left the vicinity of Warm Ocean Star and entered automatic navigation mode after a warp jump.

At this time, after Feng Bujue's detailed (logical) explanation (strong), he and Honbu had basically gained the trust of the heroes, and their hands and feet were no longer restricted.

"Hmm... no wonder I found you unexpectedly weak when I checked your energy..." After listening to Jue-Ge's account, Doctor Eternity couldn't help but sigh, "The sacrifices you two made this time are too great."

"Yeah!" At this point, Honbu's emotions finally couldn't help but explode, "I've worked hard for decades, but I've returned to square one... If I had known this would happen, why would I have become a hero! Continuing to sleep in the park wouldn't have led to something like this!"

"What does it matter... you still have the Tiangang Disha Box." But Feng Bujue replied very easily, "I think it's good that you've dispersed all your previous messy skills. You can just start from scratch and practice some superior martial arts."

"Uh..." After being reminded by Jue-Ge, Honbu remembered, "That's right!" He shouted excitedly, "Haha... that makes sense!"

A brief explanation here: the unlocked Tiangang Disha Box can be switched arbitrarily between cube and tablet states; and Honbu had already turned the box back into a cube shape and stuffed it into the storage space located in his throat before going to participate in the hero test.

Therefore, even if Honbu could no longer return to his original era, the ultimate skills were still with him; for him, a martial arts fanatic, as long as he could continue to cultivate... it was truly indifferent in which era he was and in which park he slept...

"I say... Poker Knight." Just as Honbu was smiling foolishly, Tin Foil Man looked at Jue-Ge with a serious expression and said, "Is this really okay?"

"What do you mean by 'this'?" Feng Bujue asked.

"I mean the fact that you have crossed paths with us," Tin Foil Man said.

"Oh... that thing," Feng Bujue said, "Of course it's not very good." The conversation between him and Tin Foil Man belonged to the kind of "conversation between smart people," and its rhythm was different from ordinary conversations, "But there's no way around it... Twenty minutes ago, you guys took the initiative to approach us; and the moment you saw our faces through the spaceship's monitor... the future had already changed."

"Hmm..." Tin Foil Man pondered for a moment, then added, "That's right, from the moment I saw you, the situation where I would 'not know you' when I met you in the future has already changed; because... with my brainpower, I won't forget a meeting that happened only fifty years ago."

"However, the universe hasn't been destroyed because of this, has it?" Feng Bujue replied with a smile.

"Yeah... there are two possibilities for this." Tin Foil Man nodded in response, "First, the moment you and Doctor Dippy came here, our timeline has already become a branch that is different from the space-time you are in. No matter what you do here, it won't cause a space-time paradox... because the two lines are parallel."

Hearing this, Feng Bujue took over the other party's line of thought and said, "Second, what we do here has already led to changes in the future, but so far, these changes have not led to the effect of 'the future us being unable to come to this place'; that is to say, the future can be changed, as long as the changes are made outside the scope of forming an obvious paradox."

"Then..." Tin Foil Man thought for a few seconds, and then asked, "Which situation do you think it is?"

"I was going to ask you, but you're asking me instead..." Feng Bujue replied, "Unless a paradox really forms, or it's verified through some kind of 'experiment', no one would know, right?"

"Oh..." Tin Foil Man spread out his hands and said, "I thought you guys in the future would have precedents for dealing with this kind of event."

Feng Bujue understood that the other party was actually probing and trying to get information out of him, but he didn't care much, because he really didn't know, "If there were precedents, why would I be here talking nonsense with you? I'd just tell you what the setting is and be done with it."

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Tin Foil Man muttered again, falling into thought.

And Feng Bujue took advantage of the situation to gain control of the conversation: "It's useless for you to think about these things now, anyway, both settings work for Doctor Dippy... Under the first time setting, he only needs to use the information advantage on another timeline to conquer the universe on this timeline; and if it's the second setting, he also has a way... Doctor Dippy only needs to capture the past 'himself' and fix his physical state, memories, and thoughts to the state he was in before he traveled through time, and then throw this self into the time rift at that specific time point fifty years later... In this way, a 'time loop' centered on him will be established, and all other people, things, and objects that are affected by him will be corrected or erased in this double cycle."

"He's right." Hearing this, Doctor Eternity said to Tin Foil Man with a solemn expression, "We no longer have time to think about other things... Even if the biggest crisis that Doctor Dippy has caused in the future world is only C-level (enough to destroy a planet), but the moment he travels through time... the consequences he can cause are undoubtedly S-level (a catastrophic event that could lead to the extinction of all intelligent life in the universe); In my opinion... we should immediately summon the other seven and devote all our energy to this event..."
