"Why help me?" Little Harry's tone was somewhat complicated. He had seen too many ugly faces, too much betrayal, and too much darkness in recent times. This had cast a huge shadow over his heart, and he even became estranged from Peter, with whom he had been close since childhood.
Because he didn't know how to face the other person, during this period of time, he felt that a huge gap suddenly appeared between them. He wanted to tell someone about his inner fragility and grievances at the moment, but he had no one to talk to except himself. He would not say it.
While Big Harry's appearance undoubtedly shocked him, it also inexplicably brought him a sense of joy and reliance. It was like he was no longer alone in the midst of a storm; he had a closest yet most unfamiliar companion by his side.
He didn't want to get any answer for this sentence. He just spoke from his heart and let go of his inner guard and tense spirit in front of Big Harry.
"Why should I help you?" Big Harry was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Seeing the complicated expression on Little Harry's face, and thinking about the ups and downs of Osborn Enterprises in the news reports, he suddenly understood the other party's mood at the moment.
"Let's help each other."
Big Harry didn't say anything like "You are me." Such words were meaningless to him. In his own universe, he'd seen many people who were indifferent to their own parallel universes, and even fought tooth and nail over certain things.
Big Harry didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that I am you, so I choose to help you.
Of course, it cannot be denied that some parallel universes in the multiverse do get along very well, becoming close friends and even working together. But Big Harry did not intend to deceive.
"Help? How can I help you? Help you deal with that enemy?" Little Harry looked a little confused when he heard Big Harry's answer.
"At least you gave me a break and saved my life." Big Harry looked at his bandaged wound, though this statement somewhat exaggerated Little Harry's contribution. "Besides, if I want to go home, I need your help. This is a win-win situation for both parties."
You help me find my way home, help me deal with the enemy that may appear at any time, and I will help you get out of your current predicament and make Osborne the greatest giant enterprise in the world. No doubt about it! "
Big Harry's promise brought a touch of excitement to Little Harry's face. The pressure of reality had nearly crushed him. Without Big Harry's presence, trapped and helpless, the only thing he could do under the pressure and anger would have been to rely on the few machines Norman had left him, recruit some desperate criminals to exact revenge, and create chaos and destruction.
After all, strictly speaking, his determination is not that strong.
But the appearance and promise of Big Harry obviously pulled him back from the edge of the cliff and gave him another way out.
"Can't you go back by yourself?" Little Harry was delighted at first, then looked at Big Harry in astonishment. Isn't it true that you can leave the same way you came?
"Traveling between universes isn't difficult; the hard part is finding your way home in this vast universe. I need to know the coordinates of both sides, and I need all sorts of equipment and energy. It's a considerable undertaking."
As for how I got here, I was brought into this universe by the attacker after failing to use the Time Scepter. All I did was use the Scepter to propel myself back a bit further in time. In other words, my timeline isn't aligned with his. My current timeline in this world is likely much earlier than his attack on the Time Administration," Big Harry explained.
"Can't you use this time scepter to go back?" Little Harry saw the scepter in Big Harry's hand.
"It's running out of energy, and it was affected by some kind of magical energy during the attack. The probability of it malfunctioning has greatly increased, and its instability has increased. I'm lucky this time and came to this survivable universe. If something unexpected happens and I go to a universe where it is difficult for humans to survive, or a universe that is about to end, then I will be desperate. I have to think of other ways." Big Harry also looked at the time scepter in his hand. In fact, when he was in the Time Administration, he still had a time gem in his hand, but after leaving the universe where it was, these gems were useless except for being collected as materials.
"How can I help you?" Little Harry didn't quite understand what Big Harry said, but he asked directly.
"Do you remember what I said when you asked me why I should help you?" Big Harry smiled and asked back.
"Of course, you said help each other!" Little Harry gave the answer without thinking.
"Yes, returning home safely is a big project. It requires a strong support. Only after I help you stabilize the situation and develop Osborn's power, you can help me in return." Big Harry said patiently: "So, I will help you first, and then you can help me."
Little Harry nodded heavily.
"I need to know more intelligence information about this world. Who are the giants worth paying attention to? Who are the stars in the field of scientific research? Have extraordinary powers appeared, are they hidden, or do they not exist? And so on.
Although you exist in this universe, and many of your stories match those of mine when I was young, we all understand that there are still differences, even huge differences, don't we?
The same is true of the universe. I must gather sufficient intelligence and information before deciding which path to take. More importantly, we still don't know the attacker's identity in this world, and we don't know if our actions will attract their attention and attack.
While his power in this timeframe might not be as strong as imagined, this was only a best guess. Perhaps the situation was even worse. Especially since the opponent possessed a certain amount of temporal power. If he, in another timeframe, had noticed something unusual, he might have come directly to attack.
"No, or rather, as long as we develop, we will inevitably attract his attention and conflict will inevitably arise. We must have a certain degree of self-protection in the shortest possible time." Big Harry explained to Little Harry.
"That attacker, will he definitely come to us?" Little Harry's face darkened upon hearing this. While he didn't know exactly what the Time Administration was, from Big Harry's fragmentary words, he could tell it was a powerful organization. And yet, such a powerful organization had been successfully attacked by a single individual, and escaped unscathed. Regardless of how they'd accomplished this, it was clear that the threat posed by them was not to be ignored.
Osborn is indeed a giant in this world, but little Harry doesn't think that if the other party comes to him, Osborn's power can protect him.
"Do you know what subject you're studying in the other world?" Big Harry didn't wait for Little Harry to ask before he volunteered the answer: "Energy!"
"This is a branch of the department that would make anyone's scalp tingle. I only studied a tiny part of it. However, one thing that made me better than most was that due to family and business reasons, I obtained the qualification of an intern at Heibollen. At Heibollen, I was exposed to the most advanced knowledge and the best training. So when the Time Administration was recruiting, I became a leader with my academic performance. With the dual influence of my personal knowledge and family, I occupied a good position.
Listen, Harry, the knowledge I'm about to help you build and teach is a powerful new energy. Once it appears, it will inevitably be coveted and snatched away by all parties. You must have the power to protect it. It is a double-edged sword.
"Like nuclear energy?" Little Harry tentatively gave an analogy.
"Get rid of that impression. These two things are not on the same track. It's best not to apply your experience. Although I only mastered some of the technologies of the first generation, it is enough." Big Harry shook his head.
In his research-heavy world, brilliant minds are constantly engaged in the mad rush of ideas and technological outputs.
Big Harry's brain is not stupid. Although he cannot be compared with those top brains of Stark, and is even slightly inferior to his good friend Peter Parker in IQ, to be honest, he can also be ranked in the first line in the IQ assessment.
Unfortunately, there is no data dimension here, so many technologies cannot be used or implemented at the moment. But this does not prevent Big Harry from standing on the shoulders of giants and looking out from a high place.
The Space-Time Administration's self-rescue manual clearly states that as long as the seeds of new energy can be sown and grown, and a beacon can be established, the Space-Time Administration can capture, contact, and provide support.
What Big Harry is doing now is to spread and expose the coordinates of this universe.
"I will collect and organize the information you want to know for you as soon as possible. What should I do next?" Little Harry frowned, finding it difficult to understand what Big Harry said, but this did not stop him from asking the other party how to solve Osborn's current predicament.
After all, if we cannot stabilize Osborne's morale and stocks, then let alone anything else, we can only watch Osborne being taken over and divided up by all parties, and completely changed.
"The rest of the information can come slowly. Osborne's current predicament is that it doesn't have a product to show off. I know Osborne has invested a huge amount of money and resources in researching a powerful biological agent that can change the human body. But after nearly twenty years of investment, the results are not as expected, right?" Big Harry said after extracting the information summarized from the news and asked Little Harry for confirmation.
"It's like this. This potion is Osborn's future flagship product. But despite years of high investment, it hasn't been successfully developed. To this day, it's only a semi-finished product, with several significant challenges yet to be overcome. And those people won't allow or accept such a semi-finished potion. Osborn once considered abandoning the development of this potion, but the cost of silence was too high, and success was just one step away..."
Little Harry shook his head grimly. This potion had long been a heavy burden on Osborn Industries, but under Norman Osborn's relentless push, it had nearly drained Osborn's lifeblood. While various factors contributed to Osborn's current situation, this potion was undoubtedly a major contributing factor.
Recently, the board of directors has been impatient and strongly demanded to cut off the research and development of this huge drug and find ways to make up for some of the losses.
"I can help you improve this potion. If that doesn't work, I can first come up with a mature potion that is eye-catching enough and has a huge market." Big Harry said softly.
"A new potion?" Little Harry hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't trust Big Harry's research capabilities, nor that he didn't believe he had the ability to improve and successfully develop that semi-finished potion, but time was running out for him. He didn't know how long Big Harry would need to successfully improve and develop it. Rather than taking a risk on an uncertain outcome, it would be better to try the mature potion Big Harry mentioned.
"Lizard potion. In the universe I live in, it's a genetic potion developed by a doctor under Osborn Industries. Its greatest function is to enhance the human body and regenerate severed limbs." Big Harry replied.
"What about the side effects? No side effects?" Little Harry suppressed his inner surprise, his mind racing, seeking more and more important information. Most drugs have side effects, it's just a matter of how much and how serious they are.
"Don't worry, what I've come up with is a perfect version that has been continuously improved. Although it's not the best, it can be regarded as the optimal solution for the commercial version. While there are no sequelae, it will not affect the human body and people's thinking. The efficacy of the commercial perfect version of the drug can be adjusted according to the degree of limb disability, and the effect of the drug will be hidden inside the human body afterwards." Big Harry said, and said simply: "I will give you the formula first, and then you go to find the materials according to my requirements. I will use the underground laboratory under the old house to make a few doses and give them to you to deal with.
I think with these potions, I don't need to teach you how to use them to achieve your goals, right? As long as you're not stupid and protect yourself, Osborn's connections and allies will re-establish themselves and stand firmly by your side.
As long as you can take this step and successfully market the drug, Osborne's predicament will be greatly alleviated. We'll have much more time later. I have more drugs and technologies to provide you.
Whether it's another version of the Lizard Potion, or the similar but more powerful Extremis Potion, they're enough to establish your unrivaled prestige in Osborne. That's when we'll show our true abilities."
