Ross, Who Didn't Know What Was Good for Him
When the Watcher reappeared, he was carrying a red bag.
"This is?"
When the Watcher opened the bag, Lin Xu felt his breath catch in his throat; his expression was just like Loki's!
Reality Stone, a whole bag of them!!
To prevent collisions, each gemstone is vacuum-sealed; at a glance, there are probably twenty or thirty of them!
"These are all things I've collected; the destruction of the universe is a constant reality within the multiverse."
Lin Xu, holding the bag of gems tightly under his breath, swallowed hard. "Ahem... Do you have time?"
"Uh... I'm sorry... Time will be taken away by Eternity, I..."
Why?
"The birth and destruction of the universe are orderly. The six gems, as the fundamental elements, will return to their proper place when the universe is destroyed. Time will return to Eternity, space to infinity, and souls to death. Reality should belong to Oblivion, but multiverse is reality, and it can be anywhere."
"As for the Mind Stone, it has its own thoughts and will escape after the universe is destroyed. Therefore, the only gems that will remain after the universe is destroyed are reality and power."
Unfortunately, he was still hoping to possess a bunch of Time Stones.
Lin Xu somewhat agreed with the Watcher's statement; otherwise, the Multiverse would be in complete chaos.
As for why there's a drawer full of gems in the TV series, it's probably because the universe containing the gems hasn't been destroyed yet. Otherwise, with so many timelines, there would definitely be more than just one drawer.
Then Lin Xu suddenly thought of something and abruptly looked up at the Watcher.
"Wait a minute, if the universe is destroyed and the gems return, why don't you just destroy Ultron's universe? That way, the gems on Ultron would return too, right?"
The Watcher turned his head, somewhat speechless. "... Why do you think I gave you so many Reality Stones!"
"Why?"
"I have interfered with the normal operation of the universe. As expected, Leader Ichor will surely judge me. With the protection of the Chthon, I may be safe, but if I destroy a universe... no one can save me. I can only wait to die."
"Okay... but let's make this clear first, I'm only responsible for helping you deliver the gem to Him. I can't guarantee whether He will be willing to help."
"It's okay, as long as I give it to you, I just want peace of mind."
Handing the bag to Lin Xu, the Watcher's expression began to turn dejected. After so many years of observation, he had developed feelings for living beings. This operation should save his life, but he could forget about losing his position.
"By the way, my name is Uatu, goodbye..." (from the 1963 Fantastic Four)
"I'll remember that, Uatu!"
Lin Xu watched him leave. To be honest, he admired Uatu. He could have stayed far away and watched the universe be destroyed without taking any responsibility.
But he didn't!!
For the safety of other universes, he began to subtly interfere with Black Widow and Hawkeye, trying to get them to find the Zola virus, but Ultron discovered its location.
Later, he found Dark Strange, Party Thor (for the glory of Las Vegas), Captain Carter, Black Panther Star-Lord Thanos, Gamora who killed Thanos, Killmonger who killed Tony, and the survivor Black Widow, forming a multi-faceted Avengers that finally defeated Infinity Ultron!
Dark Strange: There are a lot of people...
With Lin Xu's involvement this time, Uatu didn't interfere as much, so he should be able to save his life.
After standing there for a few minutes, I turned my head and saw General Ross with a group of people collecting Ultron's corpse.
"Hey, stop what you're doing!"
A group of soldiers instantly raised their guns and aimed them at Lin Xu.
Thaddeus Ross had left before the war started, so he hadn't seen Lin Xu. Seeing him standing there blankly staring into the distance, he assumed he was just an ordinary person who had been scared out of his wits.
"Sir, this area is under military control. Please leave immediately!"
Seeing this scene almost made Lin Xu laugh in anger.
When I was saving the world, you guys were all hiding far away. Now that the war is over, you're starting to collect the spoils?
Looking around, there were only soldiers and agents; Carol and Steve were nowhere to be seen, presumably off on a search and rescue mission.
Indeed, although Times Square was cleared out, the aftershocks of the battle went far, and there must have been quite a few injured people, and some unlucky ones might even have had their throats cut by broken glass.
"A second warning: This area is under military control. Please leave immediately!"
What if I say no?
"Fire!"
Boom! Boom!
A barrage of bullets shot towards Lin Xu in an instant. He deactivated the automatic protection of the Hoggoth's Bone Armor, letting the bullets hit him.
Hmm, it's a little itchy.
It seems this divine body is still somewhat weak.
"Have you had enough? Now it's my turn!"
Lin Xu silently chanted a spell, spread his arms, and in an instant, more than a dozen figures split out from behind him.
The Images of Ikonn!
"Watch my shadow clone!"
All the clones rushed forward, each with a clear objective: one soldier each. They first disarmed their opponents, then grabbed their necks with one hand and slapped them repeatedly across the face with the other.
Those who are pragmatic and do not resist will receive twenty slaps.
If they try to resist, just turn around and leave!
Next, Lin Xu himself went up to Thaddeus Ross.
"There's a magic ban here now; nobody's getting away."
Thaddeus Ross showed no fear, only surprise at Lin Xu's methods.
"Who are you?"
"You've hit the nail on the head. Listen carefully: the second-largest shareholder of Stark Industries, the legendary sorcerer of Kamar-Taj, the heir of the Vishanti, Thor's uncle, Mephisto's best friend, the Crimson Messenger, and the savior of this universe. Got it?"
Thaddeus Ross listened to the long list of names in silence. Where did this Jiahao come from...?
"This is America!"
"Then what?"
"This robot wreckage should be handed over to the Capture Court for trial under the America Capture Law."
"Hahaha, did you even join the battle? What was your participation rate? And you're just here using the capture method..."
After laughing for a while, Lin Xu noticed that Thaddeus Ross didn't make any other moves.
His gaze turned cold. In his original universe, he had dealt with the military quite a bit, but he had never encountered anything like this before.
But don't forget, besides being a savior, he's also a capitalist!
Are you serious?
Thaddeus Ross remained standing before the remains of Ultron, showing no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Lin Xu stopped talking and threw a regular punch.
Boom~
With the force of Asgard god weighing nearly a hundred tons, Thaddeus Ross was sent flying into the ruins by a single punch.
Something's not right!
I originally thought it would pass right through my body, but I unexpectedly felt resistance on my fist.
"Roar~!"
With a roar, a red figure burst out from the ruins.
