Early morning, on Pacific Ocean island.

The campfire has gone out, and the intergalactic party is coming to an end.

On the beach, several portals of different colors were quietly opening.

"Leaving already? Not staying a couple more days?" Tony Stark yawned, holding a cup of black coffee to help him sober up.

"There's a bunch of lunatics in Gotham waiting for me to lock them up again in Arkham."

Bruce Wayne straightened his suit and casually tossed a black Batarang to Tony.

"I've rewritten the firewall code. Iron Man of the Main Universe, don't let your system be hacked so easily again."

Tony caught the Batarang, curled his lip, and said, "Arrogant bat. Come again sometime; next time I'll buy a bigger island."

Bruce nodded slightly, turned, and walked into the black portal. Clark waved to the crowd and followed with a smile.

On the other side, Logan straddled his motorcycle, the sleeping green Baby Hulk still strapped to his chest.

"Jiang Li." Logan, cigar in hand, looked at the approaching young man in black. "The favor I owe you can be collected from me anytime you come to the Wasteland."

"Just take good care of the little guy." Jiang Li smiled.

With a roar of engines, Wolverine drove into the portal. The Spider-Man also bid a reluctant farewell to Peter Parker in the Main Universe, each swinging back to their own universe.

Tranquility returned to the beach.

A sea breeze blew. Jiang Li stretched and turned the Omnitrix on his left wrist to bring up the coordinates of the universe that he had set earlier.

"Alright, all the guests have been served."

"Jiang Li."

Gwen suddenly grabbed his hand.

She looked at Jiang Nian, who was still rubbing her sleepy eyes in her arms, then turned to look at Tony, who was having Friday clean up the beach trash, and the New York skyline in the distance.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Li stopped what he was doing.

"I suddenly feel... we don't need to go to any new Daily Universe anymore."

Gwen leaned on Jiang Li's shoulder and chuckled softly.

"Going to other universes sounds nice. But we have even the thought now. And our friends, our home, are all here."

Jiang Li was taken aback.

He looked at Gwen, then at Tony, who was playing around with Spider-Man Peter in the distance.

Yes, having traversed so many dimensions and defeated so many gods, he subconsciously felt that Marvel was a place full of danger, one he needed to escape from.

But he forgot that he has now completely transformed the Marvel Main Universe into an impenetrable fortress.

This is the best place in the entire universe right now.

"You're right."

Jiang Li's lips curled into a completely relaxed smile.

He lightly slid his finger across the watch face.

"Beep -- Coordinates deleted."

"We'll stay in New York and be ordinary New York citizens."

Six months later, in Manhattan New York, Queens.

The afternoon sun shone on the street.

Jiang Li was wearing an extremely ordinary gray hoodie, Gwen was holding his arm. The two of them were carrying steaks and vegetables they had just bought from the supermarket.

One-and-a-half-year-old Jiang Nian, wearing a onesie, hopped and skipped along in front of her.

Although she deliberately suppressed her strength, the little girl could still jump two or three meters away with each jump, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

Just as the family of three took a shortcut into a secluded alley...

"Stop!"

A robber wearing a black hood and holding a large-caliber handgun suddenly jumped out from behind a trash can, pointing the gun at Jiang Li.

"Hand over your wallet and all your valuables! Now!" the robber roared menacingly.

Getting robbed in this classic alley is practically a staple of New York City life.

Jiang Li and Gwen exchanged a glance, not only without fear, but even with a hint of amusement.

"Friend, you're robbing us? You probably didn't check the almanac before you went out today." Jiang Li sighed, without even putting down the shopping bags in his hands.

"Enough talk! Believe me or not, I'll shoot..."

The robber hadn't finished speaking.

Jiang Nian, who had been bouncing around in front, stopped. She turned her head and looked curiously at the black pistol in the robber's hand.

"Toy?"

The little girl giggled, her figure instantly transforming into a pink afterimage.

The robber only felt a blur before his eyes, and the gun in his hand had vanished.

The next second, he saw in horror that the little girl, who was only knee-high to him, was holding the large-caliber steel pistol in both hands and twisting the barrel into an extremely contorted shape as if it were a pretzel.

"Crack."

The pistol was reduced to a pile of scrap metal and was casually tossed on the ground by Jiang Nian.

The robber's hood was instantly soaked with cold sweat. He looked at the scrap metal on the ground, then at the smiling Jiang Li and his wife standing there, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

What kind of family is this?!

"I... I mistook you for someone else! I'm sorry!" The robber turned and tried to run away.

"Call out!"

Suddenly, a white Silk shot down from mid-air, hanging the robber upside down and sticking him to a street lamp.

"Hey! Robbery in broad daylight in Queens? Don't you know this is Spider-Man's territory?"

Peter Parker from the Main Universe, dressed in a red and blue suit, swung down from the rooftop and landed steadily at the alley entrance.

"Mr. Jiang Li! Sister Gwen! Good afternoon!" Peter took off his mask and greeted them warmly. "Out buying groceries again?"

"Yeah, Tony's coming over for dinner tonight. He said he wants Chinese food." Jiang Li walked over and patted Peter on the shoulder. "Good job, Good Neighbor in New York."

"Hehe, Mr. Stark has been busy designing a shockproof cradle for Xiao Nian lately," Peter, scratching his head.

Jiang Li bent down and picked up his daughter with one hand.

Stepping out of the alley, you are greeted by the bustling streets of New York and a clear blue sky.

On a large screen not far away, Stark Industries ' latest civilian technology launch was playing; the Avengers Tower logo gleamed in the sunlight.

Here you'll find only the most ordinary, yet most precious, everyday life.

"Drop--"

The [Omnitrix] on Jiang Li wrist emitted an extremely faint turning sound. The green core light appeared incredibly deep and serene in the sunlight.

It was once a weapon that destroyed the world, and also a key to saving the universe.

But now, it's just an ordinary watch that accompanies its owner when they go grocery shopping.

"How about making sweet and sour pork ribs tonight?" Gwen leaned against Jiang Li and asked softly.

"No problem. But Tony's portion needs extra chili; he made Nian Nian cry last time."

Jiang Li replied with a smile.

The family of three walked further and further away from the bustling streets of New York, eventually blending completely into the peaceful and warm Marvel Main Universe.
