A Leap Through Time

A Leap Across Time

The data world was rapidly collapsing. Although Lin Feng did not understand how Ultron had managed it, it was obvious that if the collapse spread to where he was, something bad would definitely happen.

Lin Feng gripped the weapon program in his hand, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it out.

Then he spun around, his entire body turning into a cloud of black-red mist without any solid form.

The mist Lin Feng had become swayed a few times within the data world on the verge of collapse, then rapidly spread outward.

Its speed of expansion was actually faster than the rate of collapse. In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's black-red mist reached the boundary of the collapse.

His mist was like an unyielding barrier, and the collapse came to an instant halt.

The collapsing data turned into leaf-like numbers that drifted through the air, dancing chaotically through this strange space without any pattern.

Lin Feng watched as a number 7 floated past his eyes as though in a zero-gravity space, then reached out and touched it.

In an instant, a flood of images appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

These images came from a surveillance camera, with a real-time dynamic timestamp displayed above them.

They showed Stark Tower in America at seven o'clock in the evening on July 7, 2007.

Tony was flirting with a model in his office. Judging by the camera angle, it was the webcam on the computer in front of him.

The number 7 changed direction after being nudged by Lin Feng's finger. After floating some distance away, it suddenly erupted in dazzling aurora-like light.

Once the aurora flickered away, the Black Doctor created by Lin Feng appeared before him.

This man with a face identical to Zhang Wei's was the body Lin Feng had originally made for the Black Doctor.

"What you saw was not a replay."

After appearing, the Black Doctor displayed neither hostility nor any intention to attack.

Instead, like a friend, he explained the scene Lin Feng had just seen in a conversational tone.

"This was... live?!!"

Startled, Lin Feng immersed himself in that scene again.

Tony in the image was about to undo the model's clothes. Seeing this, an idea suddenly struck Lin Feng.

He tried controlling the computer.

July 7, 2007, seven o'clock in the evening.

Tony, who was in his office with a reporter interviewing him and planning to engage in humanity's most primitive form of interaction, suddenly noticed the computer on his desk flicker abnormally.

A face he had never seen before flashed across the computer screen. Though it lasted only an instant, for Tony, one of the smartest people in the world, that was enough for him to remember the details of that face.

"What's wrong?"

The model, who had been expecting the young military heir to make his next move, suddenly felt Tony stop moving.

She opened her eyes in confusion and asked.

"It's nothing, we... shit!!"

Thinking it was an illusion, Tony merely recalled that face in confusion, but did not dwell on it.

He intended to put the matter behind him and continue what he had been doing with the model when

the computer malfunctioned again. This time, a whole person appeared inside it.

The entire computer screen turned into a black-red space, and an exceptionally handsome man stared fixedly at Tony with an eerie gaze.

That gaze made Tony's heart clench. A chill shot from the base of his neck straight down his spine.

Every hair on his body stood on end, and a layer of fine goosebumps rose across his skin.

"What's wrong!!"

Tony startled the model, and the two of them sprang off the desk together.

Tony stared at the computer in alarm. Looking at the man on the screen, he extended a finger and waved it from side to side before the display.

"When did this man—oh! Shit!!"

Following Tony's gaze to the computer screen, the model was startled as well, but she thought it was merely an animated desktop background.

After all, she had used zombie wallpapers far scarier than this. Just as she was about to ask Tony how he had made it, she saw that the man's eyes on the computer screen actually moved along with Tony's finger.

Frightened, she hurriedly clutched her collar shut and hid behind Tony.

"Visual tracking? Who are you?!!"

Seeing the person on the computer screen react like that, Tony blurted out instinctively.

Then he asked aloud.

Lin Feng quietly watched Tony without speaking or showing any expression.

After staring at Tony so eerily for a moment, he vanished.

The black-and-red screen vanished with him, and the computer in front of Tony completely returned to normal.

Data World.

Lin Feng glanced at Ultron, who stood at the edge of his black-and-red mist, then his consciousness returned to the real world.

"Bring Tony Stark to me. Remember, don't hurt him."

Lin Feng gave an order to his monsters. He needed to confirm something.

Was the time travel in the Data World real or fake?

If it was real, then it was another form of time travel—more convenient than quantum travel, and far more terrifying.

There would be no need for Pym Particles. One only needed to enter the Data World, find a point in time, and emerge from it to travel through time.

"ROAR!!!"

The moment the order was given, all the monsters around Lin Feng let out savage roars.

Then they scattered in all directions. On the rooftop of a distant building, Tony, who had been observing the situation, suddenly sneezed when he saw this.

"The bodies of mortals really are weak. Tony, why not put on another layer?"

Loki conjured a women's coat and deliberately teased him.

"Bullshit! Lin Feng is sending those monsters to catch me! I'm out of here!!!"

The camera on his helmet zoomed in, combined with real-time facial capture.

It allowed Tony to know every word Lin Feng said.

Naturally, he also understood why Lin Feng's monsters had suddenly scattered. Those ugly bastards were coming for him.

Tony cursed, and blue-white flames burst from beneath his feet as he fled.

Lin Feng saw the blue-white trail Tony left as he took off, and his gaze sharpened.

A wave of pain crossed several kilometers and directly struck Tony.

Tony clutched his stomach, unable to maintain his flight posture. The intense pain left him no time to switch to autopilot before he passed out.

The pale-blue exhaust trail vanished halfway through its path, leaving only a blurred figure plummeting through the night sky.

Seeing this, Thor swung Stormbreaker and flew out, catching Tony in one hand.

At that moment, Lin Feng's army of monsters also reached the base of the building at an unbelievable speed.

Using their extraordinary physical abilities, they leaped and climbed up the surface of the building.

They were faster than cars speeding along the ground.

With his enormous frame, Goliath was like a giant beast. Using his powerful right arm, he launched himself onto the building.

His body, over a dozen stories tall, slammed into the several-dozen-story building, making it shake violently. The entire staircase visibly tilted.
