It's obvious, isn't it? Aliens invaded."
Luo Di shrugged, stating the fact jokingly.
Peter noticed his friend's dark eyes seemed even deeper.
"I mean, did you know about the aliens beforehand?"
"Save your questions for later, Peter. Now, please don't disturb me."
For some reason, a tearing pain began to spread through Luo Di's head again, and his tone became a little stiff.
Seeing his friend's grim expression and tightly furrowed brows, Peter gave an embarrassed smile and made a zipping motion over his lips.
Luo Di endured the discomfort and turned to observe the situation outside.
He couldn't faint now; if the enemy discovered him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A graceful figure caught his attention.
It was Gwen Stacy.
This girl was much prettier than in the movie.
A delicate face, golden hair, and a hot figure.
He wondered what the movie director was thinking, casting 'Stone Sister' as Gwen; did she look like a high school student?
...
Only, this girl was in trouble now.
From Luo Di's perspective, a Chitauri had appeared behind her at some point.
It held a spear shimmering with blue light and was slowly approaching the unsuspecting Gwen.
Don't think of Chitauri as easy targets for a Super Hero, like chopping vegetables.
But for ordinary people, it was different.
Extremely lethal.
Should he help?
Luo Di narrowed his eyes, weighing the pros and cons.
Perhaps he could try to take down that Chitauri? And snatch its weapon in the process.
Before he could decide, a gasp rang out beside him.
"Oh! Gwen, look out behind you…"
...
'This idiot!'
Luo Di's face darkened.
He watched as the Chitauri, whose attention had been drawn by the startled cry, looked over, gun in hand.
Hmph! Luo Di was truly dumbfounded by Peter.
Why did he bring this unlucky guy along just now? He should have left Peter in the classroom; the protagonist wouldn't die anyway.
And as everyone knew, Super Heroes were troublemakers who also brought misfortune to their families and friends.
At the same time!
Seeing the two humans in the window, that Chitauri instinctively pulled the trigger!
A blue light shot towards where Luo Di and Peter were hiding.
"Dodge!"
In his haste, Luo Di reacted quickly, pulling Peter behind him and throwing themselves back.
"Boom—!"
Debris flew, hitting Luo Di heavily, making him black out.
"…Damn it, Peter, you're truly a complete idiot."
Luo Di gave a bitter laugh.
His consciousness gradually blurred, eventually fading completely.
...
The surrounding scenery vanished.
When Luo Di regained his senses, he was in a spacious, quiet hall.
It looked like the interior of a magnificent cathedral.
And directly in front, where the rostrum would have been, was a massive round table.
Countless towering bronze high-backed chairs were arranged around it, each carved with various mysterious patterns.
What was strange was that even though there was no light, Luo Di could see everything clearly.
Where was this?!
Luo Di's heart pounded uncontrollably; he realized this might be where his opportunity lay.
The next moment, a young male voice spoke.
"Welcome to the Black Hall, Newbie!"
Chapter 2: Black Hall
"Welcome to the Black Hall."
A sudden voice interrupted Luo Di's thoughts, and when he instinctively turned to look forward.
He saw two figures gradually materialize from the darkness, appearing before him.
"Finally, a Newbie has arrived! Hey, which World did you transmigrate to?"
...
He saw the two figures slowly approaching.
One was dressed in highly futuristic battle armor, with his face covered by a mask, and an exaggerated blood-red long blade on his back. He stood tall, exuding the aura of a strong individual.
The other wore a white lab coat and had goggles on his forehead. His face wasn't covered, but Luo Di didn't recognize him, only feeling that he looked strangely familiar.
Unkempt green stubble, messy black hair, and dark circles under his eyes comparable to a national treasure—he looked like he could drop dead at any moment.
He was like a younger version of Einstein; indeed, he had the uninhibited air of a scientist, including but not limited to explosives, hamburgers, fries, and greasy hair.
The question just now came from this crazy scientist-looking young man.
"Who are you…?"
Luo Di said cautiously, but before he could finish, he felt a sudden influx of information into his mind.
It was as if it had been forcibly crammed in, making his head spin.
After processing the astonishing information in his mind, Luo Di couldn't suppress his astonishment and looked up at the two people in front of him.
"What the…?"
"You… We… This?"
"Congratulations, my friend, you've found the key point. Yes, we are all the same person."
...
The young man dressed as a crazy scientist walked forward with a smile, familiarly patting Luo Di's shoulder.
He sized Luo Di up and down, then said with a sigh:
"Tsk~ Why didn't I transmigrate as a high school student? Looks like I'll have to give up the title of the Black Hall's most handsome to you."
The silent armored man beside him also took off his helmet, placing it on the large round table, and smiled kindly at Luo Di.
His appearance was at least seventy percent similar to the young man in the white lab coat.
At this moment, Luo Di realized why the two looked somewhat familiar; the appearances of the two people opposite him were his original looks.
Although there were some differences, the underlying features were clearly his own.
And the information he had just received in his mind confirmed all of this.
His soul had split into countless parts during transmigration, and these countless 'him's had descended into different Worlds.
This place was their shared soul space, where Luo Dis scattered across the myriad heavens could meet!
...
"I transmigrated to Dragon Raja, and that guy is Devouring Luo Di… But looking at you, is it a slice-of-life anime?"
The crazy scientist Luo Di had the potential to be a chatterbox, and he seemed a little unhinged.
"No… I'm in Marvel."
Luo Di instinctively shook his head. He hadn't fully believed what was happening here yet, so he tentatively asked:
"What's my biggest pet peeve?"
"…Your biggest pet peeve is when Tangyuan keeps rubbing against your leg when you're watching an adult film, making it impossible for you to concentrate." The crazy scientist Luo Di raised an eyebrow.
"…"
Alright, no need to ask the second question. Luo Di wanted to find a hole to crawl into… But then he thought, wait, no, they were all the same person, so what was there to be embarrassed about?
He regained his composure. Watching 'teacher's videos' wasn't his exclusive privilege anyway.
...
"So, you're an ordinary person now?"
Seeing that Luo Di had accepted the situation, the cold warrior Luo Di asked in a calm tone, with a hint of authority.
"More or less. I only transmigrated less than two weeks ago… Have you two been here for a long time?"
Luo Di thought of this question.
The crazy scientist Luo Di beside him, looking sleep-deprived, had an apple in his hand at some point and took a crunching bite:
"That guy was the earliest, it's been two years already, right? I've also been transmigrated for over a year now, the plot is just about to begin. Lu Mingfei, that unlucky guy, hasn't even enrolled yet. Nono and I are here as Commissioners to pick him up."
"To be honest, we thought there were only two of us until we received the news today."
Saying this, he tapped his forehead:
"After all this time, a new companion has finally arrived. I hope Nono hasn't noticed I'm gone… She should be making dumplings right next to me now."
"What?! You're not trying to steal Caesar's girl, are you?"
Luo Di was surprised again, and his smile gradually turned sinister.
The two exchanged glances, seemingly knowing what the other was thinking.
"Pfft, how vulgar!" × 3
Even Devouring Luo Di, who had been silent, instinctively spat.
The three looked at each other and smiled, and the originally serious atmosphere suddenly became joyful.
In just a few words, Luo Di felt as if he had met old friends who knew each other completely.
The initial cautiousness in his heart due to the unknown had dissipated, replaced by the ease of reuniting with old friends.
He casually found a high-backed armchair and sat down.
The moment he sat down, a wonderful feeling suddenly filled his conscious World.
Luo Di had a new realization!
Awakened Talent: Potential Amplification
For each additional 'self' in the myriad heavens, all 'selves' gain a power boost
Current Potential: 6x Amplification (2 × 3)
Note: The death of any Luo Di may cause a certain degree of power reduction
