Multiversal Uniqueness

[Note: This chapter is a bit mind-bending; please activate your super brain before reading, Clark.]

After learning what had happened, Lin Xu could only sigh, "Fate really is unpredictable!"

The Christine of this universe was actually killed by him; no wonder the Ancient One shut down the space to Kamar-Taj.

As the culprit behind the car accident, Strange might remember Lin Xu's face. If he goes straight over there, things could get really messy!

However, Lin Xu still didn't quite understand that if Christine had died, then this should be Dark Strange universe, plus the existence of the Male Ancient One.

As branches on the Fixed Timeline, will Lin Xu, with his different fates, become two or more time branches?

Is there another, or multiple, Lin Xus capable of traversing the Multiverse?

Like the group of Deadpools that appeared in the Time Variance Authority?

Okay, he's gotten a little confused.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Xu thought for a moment and then went to Green Shade Cemetery in Brooklyn.

As the final resting place for New York art, this is where many athletes and artists are buried. Lin Xu, a race car driver, was "collected" here even though he was driving under the influence.

Upon finding the tombstone, Uncle Zhangkong thoughtfully made a bilingual one, with some car models placed in front of it.

Driven by his inner doubts, Lin Xu used "Agamotto's Desire to Know" for the second time.

This time, however, he changed his target from the Peerless Blade to the ashes of Lin Xu in this universe.

In ten seconds, he saw Uncle Zhangkong holding the urn containing ashes.

Twenty seconds later, he saw a completely unrecognizable 'Lin Xu'.

Thirty seconds later, he saw the rally car speeding along the mountain road.

In forty seconds, he saw his dead father's funeral.

Everything was uneventful and predictable; it seems he was overthinking things.

However, at this moment, Lin Xu still hadn't obtained the Eye of Agamotto. As a transmigrator who had taken over another body halfway through his journey, he actually had very few memories of his predecessor, and he wanted to see it.

At the fiftieth second, the anticipated teenage years did not appear, and the scene before my eyes suddenly became blurry.

"Hiss..."

A burning sensation came from between his eyebrows, startling Lin Xu so much that he quickly threw away the Eye of Agamotto.

"What's going on? Why can't I watch it?"

Meanwhile, Kamar-Taj.

Ancient One, who was pondering how to retire reasonably, suddenly stood up, looking incredulous.

"Why has the timeline suddenly become disordered, and it seems to be being rebuilt? How is that possible?"

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all his years Sorcerer Supreme.

Without hesitation, Ancient One rushed to the secret chamber as quickly as possible.

Holding the Eye of Agamotto in his left hand, he took the gem out of it with his right and held it in his palm. Then he closed his eyes, and a green light quickly enveloped his entire body.

The instant he entered Single Timeline, a strange yet familiar memory surfaced in his mind.

Nine years ago, he saw an outsider named Lin Xu. He didn't cause trouble or create problems; all he wanted was to make money. Lin Xu followed behind, cleaning up after him and keeping the timeline stable.

More than six months ago, the day after Christine died, his memories suddenly began to change.

There were no outsiders, no Stark shareholders, and he died nine years ago.

He realized that this was a unique characteristic of diversity.

Lin Xu is unique and unaffected by timeline splits. He will only exist in one timeline. No matter how the timelines split, Lin Xu in other timelines will revert to his state before his arrival.

This uniqueness is driving the timeline of bug fixing!

But Ancient One was unwilling to accept it; why was Lin Xu not in her timeline?

He began to try to change this outcome, forcibly extracting his memories of Lin Xu from his mind and attempting to reintegrate them into this timeline, especially regarding the matter of Strange.

He succeeded. Lin Xu survived, but as a completely new Lin Xu without the memories of a transmigrator.

But he failed. He had no memory of Lin Xu, and Lin Xu had indeed become involved in the Strange incident—or more accurately, he had run over Strange with his car...

In the end, even so, Lin Xu was not allowed to exist in the timeline after the split; he died the day before the timeline split!

"Damn it, so that means Lin Xu originally belonged to this universe, but he was in another timeline, and when he Split Timeline, he was assigned to another version of me? Holy crap, we're both from the Ancient One, so why?"

"Luckily, he used the forbidden technique 'Agamotto's Desire to Know' to disrupt time, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed."

"But what exactly did he do to cause the timeline to split? Could it be related to Strange? Can we use it again? Will it affect my retirement plans?"

The intense heat of Agamotto didn't gradually dissipate until nightfall.

Filled with doubt, he put it back on his chest, knowing he wouldn't use this forbidden technique again for a while.

I've only used it twice since I learned it. The first time I provoked Knull, and the second time I almost got scalded. No wonder it's called a forbidden technique.

Looking around, aside from the many graves, the environment was actually quite nice, and there wouldn't be anyone around at night.

He randomly picked a tree outside the cemetery, climbed it, sat on a branch, and began converting divine power.

Half an hour later, a series of crackling sounds came from not far away.

Lin Xu opened his eyes and looked out. In the jungle, which was also located in the suburbs, a dark blue arc of electricity flashed by.

It lacked the aura of divine power and Mystic Arts, and it wasn't an elemental manifestation like Max's; it was more like a power measured by technology.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xu did not get up. In his memory, there seemed to be no major events during the period from Doctor Strange to Infinity War.

After Ragnarok persuaded Dormammu to Strange, Ego's seeds were sown in Colorado. (Star-Lord was born in Colorado but grew up in Missouri.)

Well, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Close your eyes and continue converting divine power.

Half a minute later, Lin Xu suddenly opened his eyes.

"Isn't this annoying?!"

He sensed something emerging from the jungle, shooting something at the tree trunk he was sitting on.

With a gentle force, the tree trunk snapped, leaving no point of leverage. The small figure fell onto a protruding rock, the broken treetop covering him completely.

Lin Xu floated in mid-air, wanting to see who was so blind as to disturb his cultivation in the middle of the night!

A childish shout suddenly came from below the treetops.

My back! My back! My back!

Okay, no need to meet them anymore, Lin Xu already knows who it is.
