Captain America: Call Me Steven, Thanks

The battle is over.

The once invincible Infinity Ultron has fallen!

To prevent any accidents, the Watcher immediately removed the Mind Stone from Ultron's head, and Lin Xu did the same, but he still chose the Time Stone.

Of course, there's also the Reality Stone, which is to be given to Cyttorak as payment.

At that moment, dozens of Mystic Portal lit up simultaneously, and the Kamar-Taj group, having sensed the multiverse invasion, finally arrived.

Kaecilius, who was in the lead, reached out to stop Lin Xu's actions, but when he thought that the Time Stone did not belong to Kamar-Taj, he couldn't say anything.

Who are you?

The Watcher was arrogant; he didn't even glance at the mutated Sorcerer Supreme, only nodding slightly to Lin Xu and saying, "Thank you, Crimson Messenger. There is still a survivor in Ultron's original universe, but she died in this one. I will go and bring her over."

Just call me Lin.

Having explored his own deep memories, Lin Xu naturally knew who the Watcher was referring to.

Natasha, there was supposed to be another Hawkeye, but he must have died at the hands of Ultron...

As the Watcher disappeared, Lin Xu remembered something else.

According to the original storyline, Infinity Ultron was defeated by Doctor Strange Supreme and others, but the Watcher didn't seem to recognize him and mistook him for an emissary of Cyttorak.

This means that the universe Lin Xu originally resided in was not within the observation range of this Watcher, and that Strange was not a variant of the universe Lin Xu resided in.

That's true, the two Ancient Ones are of different genders...

Moreover, this Ancient One was clearly much weaker; she only prevented the birth of Ultron, but she did not anticipate that Ultron from other universes would come.

Lin Xu put his Crimson Cloak back on and turned around. "Mage Kaecilius."

"We know each other? Or rather, in your timeline..."

"That's right, we've been through life and death together..."

Well, one was almost struck dead by Bolts of Balthakk, and the other was almost captured by Dormammu; they certainly experienced life and death.

Kaecilius was puzzled by this. "Since you've been through life and death together, why are you so far away from me?"

"Then... what's going on?"

"Nothing much, just a monster who can destroy the universe."

Listen to what you're saying!!

Seeing Kaecilius remain silent, Lin Xu continued, "Seven years ago, the Ancient One foresaw the destruction of the universe, so she forcibly altered the timeline. She succeeded, but at a great cost."

As the newly appointed Sorcerer Supreme, Kaecilius understood in an instant.

"A companion timeline?"

"That's right, she created a parallel timeline. She couldn't see a diverse future, so she had no choice but to gamble!"

"Looks like she lost her gamble..."

"No, she won her bet, because I came!"

Kaecilius:...

Looking at Lin Xu's arrogant and Versailles-like demeanor, he really wanted to ask, "Aren't we really not enemies?"

"... In that case, I'll leave this place to you."

We can't continue this conversation!

Kaecilius left with his men from Kamar-Taj, and Lin Xu didn't see them off, afraid he wouldn't be able to resist.

Upon seeing this, Captain America, dressed in his Iron Man Armor, stepped forward.

"Hello, thank you!"

Lin Xu looked at this Captain America with amazement. In Endgame, the elderly Captain America handed the shield to Tony, but here the Iron Man Armor was worn by Captain America. It just goes to show how unpredictable life is.

"You're welcome, Steve. We've been through life and death together in other universes, just call me Lin."

"Uh... my name is Steve."

"Okay Steve, problem Steve."

Shit! Steve regretted approaching him. He wondered where Fengxian Borsen. The fight was over, and he still hadn't shown up.

Since Lin Xu did not use Gungnir in this battle, and he introduced himself as "Lin" twice, Steve did not know that Lin Xu was Fengxian.

"Hey Steve, what are you looking for?"

"My name is... never mind, do you know Fengxian Borsen?"

"Of course I know, he's Thor's uncle!"

Steve thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

"Do you know where he is? I want to thank him in person. If it weren't for his advance notice, the people of New York might..."

"Hey, you're welcome!" Lin Xu waved his hand casually, tilting his head up at a 45-degree angle, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

"I mean... uh... you're Fengxian?"

"Isn't it obvious? Look, it's the same red cape Thor's!"

"... Thanks!"

Steve spoke with difficulty; although he had found his benefactor, he didn't seem particularly happy.

Just then, the Watcher returned, followed by another person, Natasha Romanoff, who was holding the Soviet shield.

Natasha, who had been feeling listless, clenched her fists and charged at Captain America the moment she saw him!

"Stark, look what you've done!"

Steve: Can you guys even pronounce my name correctly?

Without a second thought, Captain America grabbed his shield and blocked!

When~

"Hey Natasha, what's wrong? It's me, Steve!"

"Team leader?"

The steel mask opened, revealing that the culprit behind the universe's destruction was not the one inside. Natasha finally broke down, and tears streamed down her face.

"Captain! Clinton is gone..."

"... I know." The Hawkeye of this universe has been broken in two.

Sam is gone!

"Uh, the name sounds familiar."

You're gone too!

Steve:...

While the two were catching up, the Watcher and Lin Xu went to the other side.

The Watcher mainly wanted to probe his intentions; Lin Xu possessed many treasures, but he only cared about the Crimson Cloak.

In his view, the Multiverse is so vast that this reclusive Chthon, aside from his obsession with lending his power to Juggernaut and occasionally creating two self-aware clones, has never given away any magical artifacts.

Lin Xu is the first!

Furthermore, this person does not exist in the universe he observes!

"You..." (x2) The two spoke at the same time.

"You go first!" Perfect, the Watcher didn't know where to begin either.

"Good."

Lin Xu readily agreed, "Do you know the male Ancient One?"

"Yao was born in the Mara Dynasty in Earth Calendar 1530. He studied Mystic Arts with Kaluu, but the two later broke off relations due to ideological differences. In 1560, Yao Kamar-Taj and became the Sorcerer Supreme, with the title Ancient One! However, this is all information I've received from others; I have never actually met him."

Okay, so it doesn't seem to be a Strange at all.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

After a moment's hesitation, the Watcher finally asked, "Is this His will?"

"... right!"

Even a Lin Xu could figure out who this "He" is.

Lin Xu's mind raced, and he immediately began his charade, still a mix of truth and falsehood. "As you know, the Chthon loves red. He's taken a liking to this Reality Stone, so he sent me to retrieve it for him!"

"Really? That's great!"

With that, the Watcher suddenly turned and walked away.

Lin Xu:???
