Return

"Alarm! Alarm! The Main Universe Time Variance Authority has been invaded. The firepower system is unable to effectively stop the intruders. Requesting immediate activation of the self-destruct mechanism! Activate the self-destruct mechanism immediately!"

The Time Variance Authority seems to exist in parallel universes, almost endlessly, but regardless of which timeline the Time Variance Authority here, this is the final corresponding place.

The Black-Clad Man appeared countless times and was killed by Xia Yu and Tony Natasha were all clones of the Black-Clad Man from the Time Variance Authority, or rather, the headquarters.

Compared to the other Black-Clad Man, this one exuded a sense of gravity and vitality, and he pressed the red button that represented self-destruction with a fierce motion.

"Boss, of the two timelines' management bureaus, one was completely wiped out, and the other's director was killed by Tony Stark and Romanoff."

The Black-Clad Man's office was at the top of the building, where huge floor-to-ceiling windows offered a clear view of the enormous, insect-like creatures that seemed to float in the void outside.

"I already know. Two idiots, one who thinks he's so smart, and the other almost revealed the Bureau's secrets. How could my clone be so stupid?"

The Black-Clad Man looked out the window, his tone tinged with anger.

"Boss, you forgot? You were the one who said before that rigid clones weren't good for handling emergencies, and you were the one who gave them independent personalities."

One of his men behind him spoke cautiously.

"That's right. Their independent personalities are enough to handle ordinary situations, but this is a crisis concerning the entire universe. It seems I'll have to step in personally."

For some unknown reason, the Black-Clad Man paused mid-sentence before continuing.

"However, Xia Yu is indeed not so easy to deal with. That idiot B01 in the Main Universe actually took Thanos to the moon to the Snap, almost allowing Xia Yu to successfully absorb all the Source energy. Oh well, at worst, I'll just reincarnate a few more times and slowly wear you down."

After speaking, the Black-Clad Man pressed a button on the armrest of his chair, and the giant balloon surrounding them gradually disappeared into the void.

Xia Yu had just rushed into the building while braving the energy beams when another wave of dangerous palpitations suddenly struck him.

Looking up at the source of the danger, the entire building overhead was faintly emitting a white light, making it clear that a full-scale explosion was imminent.

Xia Yu glanced back; he could still make it out in time, but then looked back at the building's interior, especially at the huge transparent tube lying horizontally in the lobby on the first floor—he couldn't tell if it was glass or some other material.

On both sides are things resembling black holes, and in the middle are countless golden threads intertwined, looking like dragon's beard candy made of energy.

Although we don't know what this thing is, nor how many secrets are hidden in this building.

But there was no time to lose. Xia Yu lunged forward and, before the explosion, slipped the large, transparent tube directly into his storage bracelet.

(The ring exploded on its own; Xia Yu later repaired it himself.)

Xia Yu thought it would be a massive explosion, but after the light dispersed, it looked more like a rule, like Thanos' The Snap.

A rule governing buildings and their interiors, within which everything within the area is reduced to ashes under the light.

However, this kind of destruction was more threatening than a powerful explosion. After Xia Yu retrieved what he had seen, the energy layer around his body was almost instantly annihilated.

It wasn't the kind of annihilation that energy cancels out, but rather the kind of annihilation that leaves no trace. Fortunately, Xia Yu's energy was practically inexhaustible, and at the moment of annihilation, he immediately enveloped his entire body with a new layer of energy.

This process was repeated hundreds of times within just a few seconds before the light completely disappeared.

When Xia Yu looked up again, everything about the building had vanished, as if it had never existed.

Xia Yu didn't bother to even glance at what the tubular object was, and besides, he didn't dare to open it easily in the Quantum Realm. It wasn't that he was afraid someone would try to steal it or stop him, but rather that he was afraid the inexplicable light would disappear again.

And right now, he has something even more important to do.

Go back and see if your guess is correct. If you're right, Natasha and Tony should have already gone back.

The Avengers Compound, half an hour before Xia Yu returned.

A flash of light, and Natasha and Tony, growing from tiny to enormous, appeared simultaneously on the Quantum Tunnel.

"Stark, Natasha, where did Xia go?"

The Captain was the first to jump onto the Quantum Tunnel, and he held Natasha and Tony with both hands as he spoke.

Old Man Pym said that some people feel dizzy when they experience the Quantum Tunnel, and the Captain is quite considerate.

Only about two minutes had passed in real time, which was basically the time it took them to fly back and forth in the tunnel.

"Stark, why is Xia showing up somewhere else in the Quantum Realm? This isn't the coordinate system you set."

Dr. Pym only noticed the difference now; he hadn't looked closely before.

It was only two minutes, which was too fast.

How are your vital signs? Are they normal?

Natasha then asked.

"Everything seems normal, so what happened?"

"Dr. Pym asked."

The Captain asked the two of them again, "What happened? Why aren't you two with Xia?"

"There must be some kind of rule preventing Xia's transmigration. It might be because he's too powerful, or it might be due to the energy of the Infinity Stones or something. In any case, his transmigration was stopped by an invisible force. He should be exploring the Quantum Realm now. His vital signs are intact, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Tony said it in a nonchalant tone.

"And what about you? Did you succeed? Did you see your past selves?"

Ant-Man asked impatiently, as he had loved time travel for a long time and had always enjoyed these kinds of movies.

"I saw it, little ant. I even went to the future and saw that Hope in the future ruthlessly abandoned you. She said she doesn't like men whose organs are about the size of ants."

Tony removed his Quantum Realm Armor and casually walked to the control panel, looking at Xia Yu's data.

Ant-Man gave Stark a straight middle finger.

"Stark, we're serious. Did the time travel actually succeed?"

"We succeeded. We've gone back in time. But I have to say, Captain, your old uniform made your butt look really perky."

Instead of immediately telling everyone what he had seen, Tony started chatting and joking around.

Half an hour later, as Natasha waited anxiously, Xia Yu appeared out of thin air above the Quantum Tunnel, growing larger and larger.
