Return

2037.

That year, Lin Xu's divine body reached saturation once again.

All of Odin's divine power has been integrated into his divine body. Now, with his physical strength alone, he could easily snap his the Snap while wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.

However, he dared not go any further. The Sub-Dimension, enhanced by Old Cyttorak, had already reached a balance with his current physical body. If he strengthened it further, the Sub-Dimension would surely collapse.

At this moment, he has 0.9 arcane divine power within him, and another arcane power in the Sub-Dimension. He only needs to slowly convert this arcane power into his own divine power.

Meanwhile, bad news came from Old Wolf's side.

Charles, in the end, did not survive the winter...

Lin Xu stood before Charles's grave, his expression somewhat strange.

This location, neither nestled against a mountain nor beside a river, but situated beside a highway and at the foot of a large tree, always evokes a strange sense of familiarity.

Isn't this the place where he went to the Agamotto Universe and came back to life?

Logan, my condolences!

As they were talking, Lin Xu walked up to Charles's tombstone and quietly placed a seal on it.

"It's alright, everyone has to go through this eventually."

How are the children doing lately?

"They've got a lot of control over their abilities. Laura got into the Vancouver University, and the others are doing well too."

"Oh, really? I remember when I first met her, she couldn't even speak English well."

Lin Xu was somewhat surprised. "You're not cut out to be a teacher."

"The knowledge Charles forced upon her."

"... Awesome!"

If someone had helped him cram knowledge into his mind like this before he transmigrated, he wouldn't have needed to attend New Oriental...

After finishing his reflection, Lin Xu noticed that Logan had been staring at him.

What are you doing?

I remember you said you were a clergyman.

"Ugh~"

Lin Xu followed Logan's gaze and looked at Charles's grave.

"You don't want me to pray for him, do you? Let me make this clear first, I'm not one of them. I don't know how to pray."

"It's okay, just do whatever you're good at."

"You said it yourself?"

"Cough cough~"

With Logan's approval, Lin Xu cleared his throat at Charles's grave.

"Eek!"

"Eek!"

Listening to Lin Xu's affected singing, Logan had a bad feeling.

"The east is dark, but the west is bright! Yo-ho!"

"As the setting sun fades, I bask in my sorrow."

Hearing this strange song coming from Lin Xu's mouth, and watching him sway and twist in place, Logan fell silent!

Is Charles really not going to pop out of his grave?

Soon, the song ended, and Lin Xu was somewhat reluctant to leave.

"Tsk, it's a pity he doesn't know how to play the suona or anything like that. He'll have to find some time to learn."

"Ahem, Charles will surely be pleased to hear that. Let's leave here."

"He might not have heard me. Should I sing another one?"

"No!"

"You say you play rock music? What's the point of playing it anyway?"

Two hours later, after leaving Logan's house, Lin Xu went to New York and Kathmandu again.

After saying goodbye to everyone, he pressed the return button on the Quantum Locator.

I'm a little homesick after being away for so long.

Even though only five seconds may have passed at home.

With a burst of light, Lin Xu appeared at the Avengers Compound.

As soon as he appeared, he saw Tony looking at him eagerly.

Where did you go?

"Ha, aren't you the one who sets the time? Now you're asking me where I went."

Lin Xu knew exactly what Tony wanted to ask, but he just enjoyed seeing Tony's anxious expression.

"Lin! How... is he?"

Lin Xu ignored him and pulled out a large number of things from the Sub-Dimension.

I finally found my old Vivo among a bunch of iPhone 29s. After fiddling with it for a bit, I realized that it had been out of power because it hadn't been used for a long time.

"Ahem, Lin, do you need any help?"

Lin Xu looked at Tony, then at his phone, and immediately smiled, "Okay, but there are some things inside that you can't touch."

"Don't worry, who am I to touch other people's things?"

"Yes, I trust your character."

Then, Lin Xu threw a bunch of cell phones from 2037 at Tony.

"While you're at it, change the parameters of these things, especially the dates that come with the security patches, and other accompanying dates. In short, don't let those people outside realize that these phones are from the future."

"Alright, just leave it there. I'll deal with it when I have time."

Lin Xu watched Tony charging his old phone, a smirk playing on his lips, and hummed a tune as he slowly walked out of the hangar.

At that moment, Captain America and his group were huddled together, whispering to each other.

"Green-clad comrades... cough cough, Steve, what are you guys talking about?"

Hey Lin, do you know Banner?

"Of course I know, America has his picture on display in almost every school, almost as many as Howard!"

It would have been better if the name hadn't been mentioned. As soon as Howard was mentioned, Steve fell silent. Of course, Bucky, sitting in the corner, was even more silent.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Natasha quickly changed the subject. "We suspect Banner went to outer space, after all, the Quinjet's signal hasn't been detected on Earth."

"I know..."

"What?"

"In order to escape Earth, Hulk piloted the Quinjet into space, but the jet had limited energy and lacked the ability to jump, so it could only fly slowly in space."

Lin Xu began to bluff with a straight face.

"Just as you defeated Ultron, Thor was returning to Asgard when the Bifrost passed by the Quinjet, which took Hulk with it. However, because the Quinjet was too big, it fell off midway." (The above is purely the author's imagination. After all, Thor, Loki, and Valkyrie all went there, which inevitably leads one to think that the gaps in the Bifrost connect to Sakaar. In the comics, Hulk was exiled by the Illuminati.)

"Where did he go?" Natasha asked hurriedly.

"The known boundary of the universe, Sakaar with extremely unstable space..."

In the basement.

Because the phone had been out of power for a long time, it took Tony quite a while to charge it before it finally turned on.

What came into view was a wallpaper.

In one of the photos, Lin Xu's head takes up half of the phone screen, clearly indicating it's a selfie.

In the upper right corner of the wallpaper, Howard is holding a ring of ambient lights and directing his younger self to decorate a Christmas tree.

In the top left corner, Maria is holding an apron, her mouth slightly open, seemingly saying something.

Seeing this, Tony's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He remembered Maria's clothes; they were the same clothes they wore when they left.

Wiping away his tears, Tony quickly turned on his phone to export the pictures.

But when he opened the photo album, he suddenly froze.

At the top of the album are several nearly identical photos, clearly selected as wallpapers after numerous selfies.

But one of them caught his attention!

Behind Lin Xu, a person he knew very well was holding another person he knew very well, and they were looking at the camera and even winking.

"Shit, Steve??"
