"B-Boss..."

Just as Izayoi Sakamaki was about to leave and take another look around the Marvel world, a trembling voice rang out.

Izayoi Sakamaki froze, then turned around. Spider-ko and Takanashi Rikka were slumped on the ground, looking up at him with teary eyes.

"Boss... our legs are weak. We can't get up..."

"..."

Giving the two of them a speechless look, Izayoi Sakamaki flicked his left hand. A silver-white light shot into their bodies, soothing their terrified hearts and weak limbs.

"Will you two still go looking for excitement? Look at Tony. He knows there are things he can't participate in."

Tony: ?? I couldn't go even if I wanted to, okay?

"Wuwuwu—we won't dare do it again... Boss... how do we get out?"

Takanashi Rikka wiped away her tears pitifully, then ran over to Izayoi Sakamaki and asked timidly.

"..."

Right. How were they supposed to get out?

He didn't have any spatial abilities. Were they going to be trapped in this space?

"How about you two return to your own worlds first?"

He could leave by spending Points, but Izayoi Sakamaki felt it would be a loss to hand over the Points he had worked so hard to earn to the Chat Group.

So he would figure it out himself.

"Then... okay." The two of them were actually a little reluctant to leave Izayoi Sakamaki. They had finally managed to come along on a mission, yet they had barely exchanged a few words before having to leave. But neither of them wanted to become a burden to him, so they could only nod. "Then we'll go first. Bye-bye~"

"See you."

Smiling as he bid farewell to the two adorable mascots, Izayoi Sakamaki's eyes immediately narrowed.

"Dark Heart..."

Looking at the item that had suddenly appeared in his System Space, Izayoi Sakamaki immediately realized just how extraordinary that Colosseum was.

It could actually randomly seize one ability and one item from the defeated.

"What a pity. Although Dark Heart can make me the master of darkness, it would make my essence impure. It's just an unnecessary trinket."

Looking at the item, which was powerful yet somewhat useless, Izayoi Sakamaki shook his head.

This thing would be less useful than giving him an Infinity Gem.

The Time Stone, Space Stone, and Mind Stone were all quite good.

After wandering through this dark world for a while, Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly sensed a peculiar fluctuation.

He was no stranger to this fluctuation. It was the power of time.

But this was Dormammu's lair. Why would there be fluctuations of time here?

Unable to figure it out, Izayoi Sakamaki stepped through the void and rushed toward the source of the fluctuation.

The fluctuations of time gradually became clearer, and a figure appeared before Izayoi Sakamaki.

The man wore a sorcerer's robe, his eyes tightly shut as he drifted through the dark world.

"This is... Doctor Strange?"

Wasn't this familiar appearance that of Doctor Strange, the man who was originally meant to annoy Dormammu into leaving?

Why was he here?

Izayoi Sakamaki frowned. After sensing Doctor Strange's faint breathing and nearly nonexistent mental state, he roughly understood what had happened.

Perhaps Dormammu's obsession with claiming Earth had been too deep, so he kept killing Doctor Strange, who was trapped in the time loop.

Doctor Strange was still human. After experiencing countless different deaths, his mind had collapsed, and he had become lost within the time loop.

"What a pity. But Dormammu has already been destroyed by me, so you can rest in peace as well."

With a wave of his hand, he shattered the miracle of time, and an orange gem floated before Doctor Strange's chest.

"Is this a gift for me? Heh, then I won't hold back."

Ignoring Doctor Strange, whose mind was gone, Izayoi Sakamaki directly pocketed the gem.

This trip had not been a loss.

Grabbing Doctor Strange, Izayoi Sakamaki spent 10 Points to teleport before Tony.

"Boss?"

Tony, who had been resting, was startled when someone suddenly appeared before him. He only relaxed after taking a closer look and seeing that it was Izayoi Sakamaki.

After watching that battle, Tony was on edge, terrified that some other existence beyond common sense would come to destroy Earth.

"Tony, here. Bury him."

Izayoi Sakamaki paid no attention to Tony's current state and directly tossed the mentally dead Doctor Strange to him.

"This corpse..." Tony took him and found that it was an intact corpse. He asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

"Master Ancient's successor."

"Huh? Him?"

Looking at the man's less-than-imposing build, Tony found that hard to believe.

"He's a sorcerer. Even if he was powerful, you wouldn't be able to tell now that he's dead." Seeing Tony's expression, Izayoi Sakamaki knew what he was thinking. He casually added, "His mind is already dead. Give him a quick end."

"...There's no way to save him?"

"There is."

"Then..." Tony had originally felt a touch of sympathy, but after hearing Izayoi Sakamaki's words, he nearly choked on his own saliva. "Why not save him?"

"Why should I?"

"...I suppose that's true." Tony scratched his head blankly. "He's already tired. Let him rest."

Doctor Strange: ??? I can still live, so why are you killing me?

Mastering Time After Devouring the Time Stone ### After obtaining the Time Stone, Izayoi Sakamaki began studying it. The Time Stone was the temporal origin of the Marvel world, possessing the power to manipulate time across the entire universe. Even Doctor Strange, who had only practiced sorcery for a few years, had been able to use it to contend with Dormammu.

"Boss, want to have some fun?"

Seeing Izayoi Sakamaki deep in thought, Tony began trying to strike up a conversation.

"Something fun?"

Izayoi Sakamaki's attention was indeed drawn by those words. But when he saw the expression on Tony's face—the kind all men understood—he lost interest.

"Forget it. I'm not interested in that kind of vulgar pleasure. It's not even as interesting as chatting in the group."

"Uh... then what does Boss want to do?"

It looked like Izayoi Sakamaki intended to stay here for a while this time, so Tony needed to entertain him properly.

Not to mention, he still had not repaid Boss for saving his life last time.

"No... wait, didn't you say a hammer fell from the sky? That interests me."

"The hammer? You mean that one? The area where it landed has already been sealed off by the military. If you want to take a look, Boss, I can clear the way."

"Alright, let's go take a look."

Izayoi Sakamaki was rather interested in the hammer that only Thor could lift. He wondered what would happen if he lifted it.

Only the unknown was exciting.

"Report: The hammer you instructed me to monitor has shown abnormal activity."

At that moment, Jarvis, the Artificial Intelligence created by Tony, suddenly appeared and reported news about Mjolnir.

"Hmm? Abnormal activity?"

"A massive robot has appeared where the hammer fell. The military is currently resisting it, but with little effect."

"A robot?"

Hearing Jarvis's report, Izayoi Sakamaki roughly understood what was happening.

Thor had probably recovered his memories with the help of his younger brother Loki, and the so-called robot was likely the Destroyer Loki had sent down.

What they did not know, however, was that their father Odin had been watching everything unfold from Asgard.

While thinking, Izayoi Sakamaki had already brought Tony before the Destroyer.

Looking at the Destroyer, which stood as tall as a mountain and remained completely unharmed by blades, bullets, and artillery, Tony grew nervous.

He had not brought his Mark armor with him this time. If Boss wanted to see him perform, he could only remotely control a suit of armor and bring it over.

"Perfect. It's time to let you come out for a walk."

After roughly assessing the Destroyer's Combat Power, Izayoi Sakamaki touched the necklace around his neck and smiled.

"Boss, do you want me to step in?"

"No. Just watch."

Izayoi Sakamaki shook his head, removed the necklace, and threw it toward the Destroyer.

"Awaken, Algol!"

"Aaaaa—"

A piercing cry tore through the heavens as a hideous Snake-haired Woman appeared before the Destroyer.

"Holy shit, is that Medusa?"

Tony, who knew a little about mythology, gaped when he saw the Banshee.

This Banshee was enormous, the size of a small mountain. Standing there, she was only a head shorter than the Destroyer.

Seeing this unknown creature that had suddenly appeared, the Destroyer raised its massive fist high, ready to attack.

"Destroy it, Algol."

"Aaaaaa—"

Receiving the command, Algol let out a shriek. Dark crimson beams shot from her pupils and struck the Destroyer directly.

Gorgon's Light, capable of petrifying the entire world, turned the Destroyer into a stone statue in the midst of its punching motion, stripping it of all power and vitality.

"Not bad. When I have the chance, I'll restore you to your peak."

Izayoi Sakamaki was not surprised by Algol's results. He nodded to Algol and recalled her.

Unfortunately, Algol's rationality was currently extremely weak, so she could not hear Izayoi Sakamaki's words at all.

"That's about enough. It's time for me to leave."

After calculating the time, he had already stayed here for nearly two days. Since joining the Chat Group, time had synchronized across all worlds, meaning two days had also passed in Hakoniwa.

"So soon? Won't you stay a little longer?"

Tony, who had wanted to properly entertain Izayoi Sakamaki, froze and quickly asked.

"No. We're all in the Chat Group anyway, so it's convenient to talk whenever we want."

Shaking his head, Izayoi Sakamaki chose to return and vanished before Tony.

Not long after Izayoi Sakamaki left, the military, which had originally withdrawn, surrounded the area once again. Fully equipped soldiers raised their guns at Tony.

"Um... I think I can explain."

Tony's mouth twitched slightly as he raised both hands.

"Whew, what a desolate sight."

The moment he returned, Izayoi Sakamaki saw a shattered city and people filled with lifeless despair.

This was also the aftermath of a Demon King attack. Regardless of whether the outcome was victory or defeat, the participants could never have it easy.
