See You Again, Uatu

Loki remained silent for a moment.

"This timeline has a flaw that needs to be fixed, but you yourself are the only one in time, and no one else can fix it. However, crossing a single timeline is too dangerous. Perhaps I can help you."

"Hmm, what time is unique?"

"Fourth Uncle, don't you know? You possess a unique characteristic; the past you've experienced is something no one else can reach..."

Upon hearing Loki's words, Lin Xu's brain momentarily went blank.

He knew about the unique characteristic, of course, since it was impossible for two time travelers to appear at the same time, but he didn't expect that this uniqueness would actually cover time.

So, it turns out that both he and the Ancient One were wrong about the initial time-deception plan.

The person who completed the closed loop was not Strange, but himself.

He has to go himself.

And he was the one who stole Christine's body from S.H.I.E.L.D..!

As for why the Ancient One was also wrong, it's because the Ancient One in this universe was preoccupied with retirement and completely failed to discover the unique characteristic of his time.

But if that's the case, then he'll have to complete more than one closed loop; there's also... Steve...

"Fourth Uncle, are you listening?"

"I'm listening, I'm listening."

"Should we find Wade first, or fix the weaknesses first?"

"Let's find Wade first..."

Lin Xu thought for a moment. Although according to the original timeline, Strange should have already become the Sorcerer Supreme, the old man Ancient One worked overtime for more than half a year just to be on the safe side.

Therefore, Strange is not the Sorcerer Supreme yet, the predetermined goal has not been achieved, and he cannot bring Christine over too early.

"The Orb of Agamotto ~"

Lin Xu took it out of his pocket as instructed, believing that the mighty God of Stories wouldn't take advantage of him.

Loki took the Orb of Agamotto, gently stroking it with one hand, and soon a portal to the Multiverse opened beside him.

Loki's expression turned serious after returning it to Lin Xu.

"I've imprinted this universe upon it. Once you capture it, reactivate the Orb of Agamotto, and you'll be able to return here."

"Good!"

Lin Xu glanced at Loki, then plunged headfirst into the multiverse.

2008.

Stark Press Conference

Tony stood under the spotlight, looking dejected.

"I saw young America soldiers killed by weapons I made, weapons that were meant to protect them."

As the camera flash went off, his tone became more impassioned.

"So I realized I had to do better, build bigger weapons, and fight harder for them. Therefore, I brought in Captain Erik Stevens, the Navy SEALs who saved my life." (What If...?: Killmonger)

"Effective today, I appoint him as Chief Security Officer of Stark Industries!"

Meanwhile, Happy, sitting in the corner, complained to Pepper, "Shit, how could this happen? That spot should have been mine!"

"It's probably because you didn't agree to me joining the Avengers; even the writers couldn't stand it anymore."

"Who?"

Happy and Pepper heard the sound and turned around at the same time, only to find that there was another person behind them.

He was dressed in a black and red bodysuit, with two long knives on his back and two pistols stuck in his thigh.

That's right, he's Deadpool, the troublemaker everywhere...

"Shit, how come someone brought a weapon into a press conference?"

Happy was about to get up when Deadpool pushed him back down.

"Hey, don't move. You're just making a cameo appearance here, not directing. Don't steal the spotlight, okay?"

With that, Deadpool walked onto the stage.

I disagree!

The sudden turn of events drew everyone's attention to Deadpool.

Upon seeing his gear, the military representative at the press conference immediately drew his weapon and issued a warning.

"Sir, put down your gun!"

"... I didn't touch the gun..."

"A second warning: Put down your gun!"

Deadpool was speechless, but the thought of having so many guns pointed at him made him a little scared, so he decided to pull the gun out of its holster and put it on the ground.

But as soon as he made a move, the military representative immediately reacted.

"Don't move!!"

"... So what should I do?"

"Put down your gun!"

OK~

Deadpool reached for his gun.

Bang bang~

A series of gunshots rang out.

Deadpool lay on the ground...

Several military representatives quickly stepped forward and fired several more shots into Deadpool's head and heart before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Stark, it seems your security system really needs strengthening; even armed criminals managed to sneak in."

Tony didn't say anything, but just glared fiercely at Happy in the corner.

Happy: Well, now you remember me...

"Haha, it's nothing, it's just a little incident. Obie, help me calm everyone down."

Just then, Erik, who had been silent all along, suddenly grabbed Obadiah's hand.

"Tony, he can't leave!"

"What?"

"He's the one who colluded with the Ten Rings and betrayed you."

"This is impossible..."

Just then, Deadpool had been dragged to the door, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "I can testify that what he said is true, although he himself didn't have good intentions."

"Shit~"

When the two officers saw the man they had been holding suddenly come back to life, they were so frightened that they released him and threw the Deadpool to the ground.

Oh my god!

"He's a devil! He's a devil!"

"Help!"

The reporters at the press conference, already shaken, were terrified by the sudden resurrection and scattered in all directions.

Soon, only Stark Industries and military personnel remained at the press conference.

"Tsk tsk, without Iron Man, people's mental fortitude is no match for him. As Marvel's Jesus, I must correct this."

Deadpool was somewhat disappointed as he faced a group of military representatives who could barely hold a gun.

"Hey, Killmonger in the military uniform, Jabba or N'Jadaka? Never mind, it doesn't matter! Today's your day!"

Lin Xu was standing on the top of the building opposite the press conference, his gaze fixed on Deadpool.

Standing next to him was a bald woman.

"As the Sorcerer Supreme, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

Aren't you the same?

"I am not the Sorcerer Supreme."

Ancient One was somewhat surprised. She turned around and looked at Lin Xu's equipment, then remained silent for a moment before asking, "When are you leaving?"

"Wait until he kills the little leopard."

"Alright, I have other matters to attend to at the Sanctum. Please proceed."

As Ancient One left, Lin Xu looked up at the sky.

The corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

"Uatu, long time no see. Looks like Old Cyttorak has put in some effort; you actually survived your dismissal." (From Chapter 53)

"Thanks."

Uatu's voice reached Lin Xu's ears, but he couldn't see anyone. It seemed that although his position hadn't changed, he had many more restrictions.

"Hey, don't thank me, just thank Old Cyttorak, after all, there are so many Reality Stone involved."

Lin Xu waved his hand, then asked, "By the way, do you know who stopped Loki?"

Uatu did not answer the question; instead, he started talking about other things.

"I don't like this ending, but I can't interfere. If Deadpool did it, then it has nothing to do with me."
