Daigo: "I'm not exactly sure myself; the AI from the ultra-ancient era mentioned it this way. It seems like it's not originally from Earth. An AI named Youlian once said that Diga left his body behind, transforming into light to return to his homeland."
Tony Stark: "An AI from 30 million years ago! Are you kidding? Ancient Earth had technology this advanced?"
Diana: "It's possible! Our universe has Atlantis, an advanced civilization from ancient times that harnessed limitless energy."
Bruce Wayne: "What! Is this real?"
In the Batcave, Bruce Wayne looked at Diana, shocked; it was the first he'd heard of this.
"There are many secrets on our Earth you could hardly imagine."
Diana answered with a hint of resignation.
"When we have time, I'll explain more."
"Alright, but make sure you explain everything."
Bruce Wayne took a deep breath. It seemed he had to worry about not only extraterrestrial threats but also unknown dangers from within Earth.
Doraemon: "An advanced civilization from 30 million years ago? We've encountered something similar—like dinosaurs evolving into humans."
Rhodey: "Dinosaurs evolving into humans? You're joking."
Doraemon: "It's true! But it's too complex to explain briefly."
Gen: "Let's set that aside for now. Daigo, does that mean Ultraman was protecting Earth 30 million years ago? What do you mean by leaving a body? How did you become Ultraman?"
Daigo: "It seems I have Diga's genetic factor, which lets me transform into him."
Dan: "Diga's genetic factor! Does that mean you're a descendant of an Ultraman and a human?"
Daigo: "I'm not sure myself."
Barton: "Wait, Ultramen can have children with humans?"
Natasha: "Remember, they can transform into human form."
Gohan: "So, Daigo is like me, a hybrid of an alien and a human."
Daigo: "I honestly don't know."
Daigo was deeply puzzled about his genetic origins. The constant monster appearances had kept him occupied, but now he realized there were indeed many unanswered questions.
"I should probably ask Youlian about this sometime."
The Ancient One: "The complexity of the multiverse is beyond our imagination. I suggest we don't dwell on it too much; it will only cause unnecessary trouble."
Whitebeard: "You're right. I've been listening, and I still have no idea what you're talking about."
Sengoku: "Whitebeard! Why are you here too?"
Whitebeard: "I don't know either. This screen just appeared out of nowhere."
Onboard the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, Whitebeard was heartily drinking, enjoying the moment.
"This is fascinating. Different worlds, universes—life certainly never gets dull."
Unknown phenomena didn't faze Whitebeard. He had encountered countless unknowns during his first voyage, which had long since tempered his courage. Now he was curious to see what this so-called containment object was.
"The containment object under analysis is called the Possession Mask."
The screen's voice began, followed by the appearance of a strange white mask, looking quite disturbing.
"The Possession Mask appears to be indistinguishable from an abstract art piece. Anyone who sees it would think it's just a regular mask. However, it possesses intelligence and has existed for an unimaginable length of time, with memory capabilities akin to a camera. Anyone it comes into contact with, even for an instant, is permanently recorded, and its accumulated knowledge is beyond ordinary comprehension."
"The mask earns its name because it constantly seeks to take over other bodies. On its own, it can't move freely; it must find a way to get someone to wear it in order to gain a body."
"If anyone is foolish enough to wear the mask, they're doomed. As soon as their face touches the mask, they die instantly, regardless of size compatibility, and the mask takes control of their body."
"The mask is highly adept at psychological manipulation. It can read a person's thoughts and use persuasive tactics to get them to wear it. In the past, many mentally resilient individuals have been tricked into putting it on, losing their lives and becoming vessels for the mask."
"Therefore, when containing the Possession Mask, ensure no one approaches it. If proximity is necessary, at least five people should be present and retreat quickly. If someone puts on the mask, they must be neutralized immediately."
The screen's narration ended, and the scene shifted abruptly.
Someone had put on the Possession Mask. Strangely, it fused with the person's head, with strange fluids oozing from the eyes, nose, and mouth—a grotesque sight.
In the Hokage's office, in the Naruto world...
"Ugh!" Mei took a step back, visibly disturbed by the sight.
"So, this is a containment object? That mask is disgusting!"
Mei remarked with clear disgust.
"A mask that can take control of someone's body? That's unbelievable!"
A, bewildered, found it hard to accept something so grotesque.
"Do not doubt the screen's information. It's always accurate."
Tsunade reminded them.
"It doesn't look too dangerous. Can't we just destroy it?"
Onoki dismissed it casually, thinking it wasn't as scary as Tsunade made it out to be.
In the Marvel Universe, Kamar-Taj...
"Possessing another's body is surely the work of an evil god. This mask might be a dreadful artifact crafted by some dark deity."
The Ancient One observed the screen with a thoughtful gaze.
She knew of many methods to control others, like Dormammu's constant attempts to subjugate minds to become his servants.
"But what is the mask's purpose? What benefit does it gain from possessing others?"
Strange questioned, puzzled.
"Well, unless the Possession Mask appears in our universe, I wouldn't be able to ask it."
The Ancient One replied calmly.
Strange pursed his lips in response, not eager to encounter something so disturbing.
On Thanos' spaceship...
"Hmph, possession is only for those with weak wills. With the Mind Stone and the Power Stone, I fear nothing."
Thanos looked confidently at the Mind Stone and Power Stone on his Infinity Gauntlet.
Earlier today, he had invaded Xandar and obtained the Power Stone, bringing him one step closer to his ultimate goal!
