At that moment, a crisp clapping sound rang out.

A childish yet somewhat cold voice drifted over.

"What a fascinating office power struggle! Deceiving superiors, eliminating dissidents, and bending the law for personal gain—it seems that no organization can escape this kind of chaos."

"Once I get back, I'll have to thoroughly investigate my 'Demon Group'."

Everyone stared at the two children who had suddenly appeared.

Mr. Paradox frowned, feeling that the face looked familiar.

"Agent, take care of them."

He had no time to deal with these two uninvited guests, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the order.

Then he turned his head, his eyes fixed on the constantly flashing Timeline on the large screen, preparing to select the target to be destroyed.

Bang bang bang!

Almost the instant he finished speaking, three dark figures swept past Mr. Paradox, and with a loud crash, the large screen in front of him was instantly smashed to pieces, with glass shards flying everywhere like snowflakes.

Mr. Paradox felt a chill run down his spine as he shuddered at the three corpses half-exposed, blood continuously sliding down the wall and pooling on the ground into a horrifying sight.

"Oops, I accidentally broke it, but I should be able to fix it."

A green barrier enveloped the entire room.

Time can be reversed.

The dead bodies slowly flew out, the shattered screen automatically repaired itself, and the room returned to its original state, except for the three corpses on the ground.

Why can you use superpowers?

Mr. Paradox turned around, his eyes filled with panic and fear.

Here, Infinity Gems are no different from ordinary stones.

"To be honest, I'd like to know the answer to that question too."

Various powers appeared in Kino's hands: Bio-field, magic, mutant superpowers, the Speed Force... but they had no effect whatsoever.

He was prepared to rely solely on Venom to fight back, since the worst-case scenario was exile to the Void.

"Master, I can't."

Key, who was standing nearby, also tried it, but there was no response at all. She lowered her head in frustration.

"It's alright, it's normal that you can't use it because you're so weak," Kino comforted her.

"... Master, if you don't know how to comfort me, you don't have to pay attention to me." Yao's lips twitched.

Mr. Paradox watched the various powers constantly shifting in Kino's hands, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, his pupils contracted instantly, and he cried out in disbelief.

"You are the Demon King of Timeline 404, Kino!"

Everyone present turned their gaze toward Kino, some with excitement, others with fear.

The Demon King of Timeline 404 didn't die; he's here to settle scores.

"Number 404? That's the name you gave to my world. It's a bit unlucky."

Kino shook his head.

"Demon King, what brings you here?"

Mr. Paradox forced a smile, trying to appear calm. He could only pray that the Demon King was unaware of the disappearance of his Timeline.

"Do Loki a favor and discipline his unruly henchmen."

Kino snapped his the Snap, and Professor X and Charles emerged from the portal with a fully equipped Hydra squad.

"Leader!" x2

The two people, one with hair and one without, are easy to tell apart.

"Take everyone here away and brainwash them, turn them into obedient and docile slaves."

"Yes, Chief."

Mr. Paradox and the staff here naturally knew Professor X. Although they didn't understand why there were two of them, they still smiled confidently.

"Brainwashing? You wouldn't do that, Professor X."

Bang! Bang!

"Ahhh."

Mr. Paradox groaned, clutching his shattered knees.

"I think you have some misunderstanding about us."

Charles wore a gentle smile.

Since signing the Demon Contract, his moral compass has become much more flexible.

The Hydra team took everyone present away, including the three corpses, and even cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground.

Kino began searching around the Time Variance Authority, hoping to pick up some local "specialties".

When he opened the drawer and saw the Infinity Gems inside, his eyes lit up instantly.

Although one set of Infinity Gems would be enough, Kino's collecting habit couldn't be resisted, and he planned to make extra artifacts for Pamela and the others, one for each of them.

The concern that having multiple Infinity Gems in one universe would weaken the game is unfounded. (p1)

"Hehe, great harvest! Social Shake! Help me find some other places."

"Master, I'm not called 'Social Shake'."

Key offered a feeble rebuttal, but still began searching elsewhere.

The final takeaway.

8 Time Stone, 6 Power Stone, 3 Soul Stone, 6 Space Stone, 7 Reality Stone, and 4 Mind Stone.

As long as you keep the Space Stone under your control, there won't be any trouble in your own universe.

"Master, do you like these?"

Key watched Kino grinning foolishly while clutching a pile of gems, and felt a pang of curiosity.

"Well, your Master will also forge you a divine artifact. Which Infinity Gems do you like?"

Kino said generously, "I'll leave my coordinates here so I can come back and visit sometime."

"Is green okay?"

Key looked at the stone in Kino's arms and remembered the green barrier that had previously controlled time.

"Sure, the Master will make you a necklace later."

"Kino said."

Then, the portal opened again.

It was Mr. Paradox and his henchmen.

Everyone arrived at their work stations in an orderly fashion. Mr. Paradox approached Kino, bowed ninety degrees, and wore a fawning smile.

"Welcome, esteemed leader, to our inspection tour. I am Mr. Paradox. How can I offer you any assistance?"

"Find her Timeline and send her there."

Kino pointed to the key beside him.

"No problem."

Mr. Paradox went to the control panel and began searching, quickly finding the result.

"I'm sorry, esteemed leader, this person's Timeline number is 404, and it has already been destroyed. However, I can find a Timeline with a similar trajectory."

Kino was taken aback. This really was the Sorcerer Supreme from his universe. What was Loki up to?

Key was somewhat sad; her world was gone.

"Don't cry, Timeline 404 is with me."

Seeing that Key was about to cry, Kino quickly took her to Timeline 404.

Watching the two disappear, Mr. Paradox also took out his golden tablet.

"This is the whistleblower department, Mr. Paradox. Who would you like to report?"

"I want to report Mr. Paradox for repeatedly accelerating the demise of Timeline and for corruption..."

"???"

Kino also brought the key to a mountain village in 1450 beneath Kamar-Taj, number 404.

There was nothing but a flat plain in front of me.

Yao slowly squatted down, looking at the remaining blood on the ground and the familiar dagger.

She used this dagger during a ritual, summoning powerful energy to banish Karu to another dimension, but she didn't expect it to affect others, causing them to disappear from this world together.

p1: In the Marvel Universe, bringing the Reality Stone from another universe to a universe that already has the Infinity Gauntlet usually doesn't weaken the character.

The power of the Infinity Gems is inherent, originating from the residual energy from the beginning of the universe. As long as they are true Infinity Gems, their essential power will not change regardless of the universe they are in.
