Chapter 298 The Next Race, the Time Has Come

Thanos: "Humph, it's the worst plan for you, but it's the best weapon for me."

Strange: "What did you say!"

Thanos: "Isn't it true? The aliens are simply the most outstanding biological weapons. With such amazing learning ability and strong physical fitness, there are few alien races that can match them. If they are trained more and formed into an army, they will definitely be invincible!"

Odin: "How arrogant! How can you control so many aliens?"

Thanos: "Because I have the Mind Stone!"

Odin: "What!"

Daiko: "Mind Gem? What is that?"

Ancient One: "It is an Infinity Stone that controls consciousness. Any creature that is touched by this stone will have its consciousness controlled by the owner of the stone."

Daiko: "Your universe actually has such a magical device! If it's true, then he can indeed raise an alien army!"

Tony Stark: "Don't think too much. Aliens may not appear in our universe."

Hypnos: "Recruiting the aliens? What an interesting idea. Why don't we give it a try with the Pluto Army?"

Aaron: "Forget it, I don't like that kind of ugly stuff."

Thanatos: “I feel the same way.”

Manigault: "It's rare that you guys say something that sounds decent."

[“Next, predict the appearance of the next containment object—the time has come, bird.”]

When the sound on the screen ended, a photo appeared. The photo showed a particularly strange creature.

A roughly humanoid entity with many avian features, most notably its beak. Its overall body structure is long and thin, with amorphous limbs and no distinct fingers. Its entire body is covered in a thick, tough layer of skin, including its beak.

【The Hourbird is a monster with a human-like body shape, but a bird-like body. Its body is very irregular, without the bone outlines that a normal creature should have. Its neck vertebrae are not connected to each other, and seem to be able to move independently of each other. The Hourbird continuously rotates its vertebrae one by one, from back to front, and ends at the head. Its pattern is rhythmic. Each movement makes a clicking or cracking sound. The Hourbird only stops this neck movement when it is preparing to attack.】

[The Hourbird has been observed stalking its victims for considerable periods of time before attacking, up to over 10 months. It kills its victims using its appendages, bludgeoning and tearing the victim's body. It will then consume the body, which can sustain an average-sized adult for approximately 3 months.]

[The Hour Bird is believed to be the subject of several folk tales in its country of origin, Germany. Evidence of the Hour Bird dates back to 1538, with written and visual depictions of it found from this era. Several German nursery rhymes are also believed to focus on the Hour Bird].

[Although the Time Has Come Bird continues to exist in the containment chamber, new incidents and sightings continue to appear in its origin area. It can be judged that the Time Has Come Bird is a species, and its presence can be found everywhere in the world. 】【"Next, play the record about the Time Has Come Bird."]

[“In the German city of Freiburg, there is a resident named Charles who claims that he is being followed every day and can hear strange, rhythmic clicking sounds all the time.”]

[“At first, Charles thought he was hallucinating because he was too tired, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. But this phenomenon happened every day, and not just every day, but all the time!”]

[“Wherever Charles went, he would hear the rhythmic clicking sound and feel that someone was following him.”]

[“This happened every day and every moment, and Charles was about to collapse. He immediately chose to call the police and explain his situation. However, the police investigated the situation around Charles and found that no one was following him. They had to wonder if Charles had a mental problem.”]

[“So Charles went to have his mental health checked, but he found out that he was not mentally ill. The doctor could only prescribe sleeping pills for Charles, telling him to stop thinking too much and have a good rest.”]

[“However, this did not make Charles feel better. Instead, it made his condition worse, almost causing him to collapse and affecting his normal life.”]

[“After the agents of the shelter received the report about Charles, they felt that the matter was not simple, because there was a creature in the shelter that could emit rhythmic sounds to hide itself, track others, and then hunt them. It was the Time Has Come Bird.”]

[Then the video switches to a cage, where the time has come and the bird is tied up tightly with a special chain and cannot move.]

[“When the shelter discovered this bird, it was eating people, and then tried every means to catch it. According to research, it has the same stealth ability as the sleep killer. It also likes to stalk its prey for a period of time, and then use its bones to rotate to create rhythmic sounds to stimulate the prey's nerves, torturing the prey to a state of collapse before hunting it down.”]

[“After we caught the Time Bird, we conducted a comprehensive search, but we did not find any other Time Birds, which led us to mistakenly believe that there was only one Time Bird.”]

[“However, according to Charles’ situation, the time has come and there may be birds that have not been discovered, so we immediately dispatched professional task force members to investigate the matter.”]

[“It’s strange, the time has come. I don’t know when the bird started looking in one direction, which happened to be the direction of Freiburg. Maybe it’s a coincidence.”]

[“After the agents of the shelter came into contact with Charles, they immediately launched an investigation around Charles. According to Charles, he can still hear that voice now.”]

[“But the agents used the most advanced stealth detection equipment to investigate, but they couldn’t find any time-limited birds within a ten-kilometer radius.”]

[“This makes the agents very confused. Charles is clearly being followed by the Time’s Up Bird, so why is there no trace of it? Is Charles really having a mental problem, or is he lying?”]

[“But the asylum has arranged for experts to examine Charles. There is nothing wrong with his brain, and he is not lying. So what is going on?”]

[“In order to solve this mystery, the agents of the shelter can only follow Charles all the time, hoping to solve this mystery as soon as possible.”]

[“A week later, incredible changes occurred. It was then that the shelter realized that the time had come and the bird had even more terrifying abilities.”]
