"Home"
Lin Xu brought a few extra items, originally hoping to build a good relationship with Old Cyttorak, but he didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.
"Ahem, well, there's only one Reality Stone; the other twenty-eight were a gift from Uatu ~"
"I know him. He didn't interfere much this time. Let's talk about you. I really like Ultron's head; I'll use it as an armrest on the throne. Red Hulk... he's passable too... I can grant you two more requests."
It seemed that Uatu's situation wasn't serious, and Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Promises must be kept, otherwise Tang Sanzang is a prime example.
Now it's time to think about himself.
As a powerful being of multiple levels, Old Cyttorak is certainly very strong, but he is not lacking in magical treasures now: Tyrant's Butcher Blade, Gungnir, Eye of Agamotto, Hoggoth's Bone Armor, Hun Tian... Crimson Cloak.
There are plenty of Mystic Arts in Kamar-Taj, but as for power, it will take many years for his Sub-Dimension Odinforce to be converted.
Just as he was wondering how to start the conversation, Cyttorak's voice came through.
"I sense two opposing forces of malice within you. As an outsider, you are unique in the Multiverse. I cannot see your past from too long ago. Could you tell me about it? Perhaps I can help you resolve this."
Malice? Impossible!
Don't you know that I, Lin Xu, have always been kind to others? I can even become friends with Mephisto and Old Cyttorak, so how could I possibly have any ill intentions?
Cyttorak glanced silently at Red Hulk lying on the ground.
"Ahem, maybe they misunderstood me."
What kind of misunderstanding could lead to such malice?
"Dormammu wanted the White Magic Book that Agamotto gave me, and a Knull. I just Eye of Agamotto..."
"... Knull's desire for revenge is indeed strong."
After a moment's thought, Cyttorak reached out and gently tapped Lin Xu's forehead with his finger.
"Although Knull also possesses multi-dimensional power, he's currently in a somewhat problematic state and can't locate you. As for the White Magic Book, I've shielded its aura for you; it won't be detected by those below the multi-dimensional level."
"Furthermore, as your strength increases, the Sub-Dimension will eventually collapse. The suppression of the White Magic Book won't last long, so I've reinforced it for you. Currently, it can probably accommodate... ten Odins."
After hearing Cyttorak's words, Lin Xu was overjoyed. Now he no longer had to hide.
Moreover, what does ten Odins mean? Although Odin did not transcend time and achieve immortality, in terms of combat power, he is definitely stronger than Mephisto!
Mephisto: SO?
If we really have the chance to gather that many bricks, it's not impossible to prove our path with sheer force!
"Homage to the Chthon, homage to Cyttorak, homage to..."
"Alright, alright, get out. Don't bother me again unless it's absolutely necessary."
"What if..."
Even if something comes up, it won't work!
Cyttorak waved his hand. He hadn't interfered with the normal development of the Multiverse for a long time. Even the Juggernaut was just a power he left behind in the multiverse. Everyone thought he loved the Juggernaut, but in reality, he was just too lazy to take it back.
I wonder if this person is actually Stan Lee. If so, could I gain some benefit from this assist, perhaps by exploring opportunities beyond the realm of diversity...?
"Well, I might need to bother you again next month..."
"..."
"In my original universe, I only knew time, not coordinates. Could you send me back? Just trace back to the first wave of malice..."
"Roll!"
"Okay!"
Since he didn't refuse, Lin Xu took it as a yes. Now that the White Magic Book was sealed, even if he went back, Dormammu wouldn't be able to sense it, and he could enjoy his life of luxury again.
As for why we need to wait a month?
His Quantum Locator is still in Dr. Pym's hands; he can't afford to lose it.
Lin Xu spent the next month in San Francisco, maintaining a very regular daily routine.
Watching the sunrise in the morning, playing games in the late afternoon, fishing in the evening, and transforming divine power while reviewing Mystic Arts.
Even Old Pym was very envious.
Finally, on December 5th, Pym had spent a month thoroughly understanding all the technologies of the Quantum Locator.
With Lin Xu as a witness, Scott discovered his mother-in-law from the Quantum Realm.
The only pity was that, due to the advanced technology, Janet was not involved in this quantum rescue, so Lin Xu didn't get to see Scott's muscular shyness. (Ant-Man 2, Janet possessed Scott through quantum entanglement)
"Lin, are you leaving?"
"That's right, it's taken quite a while."
"When you get back, please apologize to Stark for me. After all, we've had this misunderstanding for so many years."
"Indeed, after all, in some universes, Steve stole the Pym Particles..."
Hank:???
After saying goodbye to Hank Pym and his family, Lin Xu returned to Death Valley.
Just as he was about to open the Dimension Portal, he suddenly felt dizzy and then sat down on the ground with a thud.
He then noticed that the rising sun, which had been in the southeast, had moved to the due east, and that some yellowed withered grass had appeared on the bare hillside in the distance.
Winter turned into autumn, or rather, it became a different world.
After a moment's thought, Lin Xu understood that Cyttorak had teleported him directly.
"Seriously, am I that disliked? Old Cyttorak doesn't even want to see me anymore! I wonder what time it is now, will it be like last time where half a year has passed already?"
I took out my phone, but there was no signal.
Forget it, let's go home first and talk about it then.
The Mystic Portal, open!
Huh? Why can't I open the door to my house? The Mystic Arts message says there's no such place...
Could it be that you've been away for too long and your home was forcibly demolished?
After several attempts with no success, Lin Xu, unwilling to give up, tried opening the door to Kamar-Taj again.
It still can't be opened, but this time the Mystic Arts feedback is that there's a spatial limitation; someone has isolated the space of Kamar-Taj.
What is Ancient One up to?
Left with no other option, Lin Xu had to open the door to Tony's house.
Fortunately, this time it worked. I straightened my clothes and stepped over it.
"Warning: This is a private residence. Please leave immediately."
"Hey, F.R.I.D.A.Y., stop messing around..."
"Sir, I have never seen you before, nor can I find any information about you. Please leave immediately!"
"... Tony, are you home? That joke isn't funny at all..."
I also don't think this joke is funny.
Tony, clad in Mark 47, appeared around the corner, his palm cannon pointed directly at Lin Xu. (Mark 47, primarily red and silver, first appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming)
"A magician? A sorcerer? A wizard? Or... a Daoist priest?"
"Tony, I wish you were joking. Seriously, you really don't recognize me?"
"While I'd love to meet someone who can freely travel between other people's homes, it's best if it's not mine!"
"Oh! My great Chthon, you've actually failed!"
