In the end, Russell didn't get the photo he wanted. The Master Gu Yi reluctantly agreed to make a peace sign, and the two posed for about ten photos together.

Dr. Banner was completely bewildered. By the time his Gods was returned to his body by the Master Gu Yi, Russell had already flown far away.

"Guys, I've messed up here... uh, I messed up." Banner pressed his earpiece and contacted Steve and Stark: "Some mysterious guy suddenly popped up, he knows the Sorcerer Supreme, and then the Sorcerer Supreme gave him the Time Stone."

On the other end of the headset, Future Stark sighed, "It's okay, because Captain America, Thumbelina, and I... messed up too. The Mind Stone was stolen, but on our side it's a woman."

Banner looked up at the sky dejectedly, just in time to see Supergirl smash a giant metal beast to pieces. He muttered to himself, "Women are terrifying! Guys, I feel like we're a bit redundant!"

"Stop lamenting. The captain and I are at Stark Tower. I saw that guy. Come over here right now."

At the top of Stark Tower, the Tesseract provides a continuous source of energy, shooting out blue beams of light that pierce through the void, connecting to the other side of the universe and opening a spatial passage over New York City.

Because of the energy shield that overflows when the Tesseract is running, and because it is itself an energy source, it cannot be shut down by conventional means. Only other Infinity Stones can block the flow of energy.

At this moment, a number of people were standing on the building. While Russell was trying to get close to the Master Gu Yi, the future Stark and Steve arrived and waited for Russell to come and take the last gem.

The Avengers also came along, eager to know what had happened in the future. The two Captain America chatted casually, and the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.

What's worse is that the two Iron Man are constantly at odds. Stark is very unhappy about his daughter living in a single-parent family, and he grabs his future self and unleashes a torrent of abuse.

In the future, Stark remained silent with a gloomy face. The word "single-parent family" made him realize something and gave him an ominous premonition.

Because of Russell's spoilers, the future quartet's plan to operate discreetly completely failed, forcing them to get involved in the past.

Everything has become unpredictable and more complex; perhaps this is the beginning of parallel universes...

When Russell arrived, the rooftop was a bit crowded. He kicked Loki, who was tied to the ground, aside and raised his left hand to press down on the energy shield.

The three Infinity Stones on the Infinity Gauntlet worked together to easily breach the protective shield. The moment the Tesseract was removed, the energy transmission ceased, the spatial portal closed, and the Battle of New York came to a complete end.

Click!

Russell crushed the Tesseract, embedding the fourth Infinity Stones into the glove. The immense energy coursed through his body, stimulating his Magic Power to an exaggerated degree.

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly, his ambition swelling like never before. To put it bluntly, Supergirl was just a piece of cake now; with a mere three million words of writing, she was no match for him...

Bang!

Supergirl descended from the sky, looking at Russell's Infinity Gauntlet, the four gems gleaming brightly. "I'm really surprised that you even got your hands on the Time Stone."

Russell froze, banishing his daydreams, and coughed lightly. "The Master Gu Yi was very easy to talk to. After a few words, she gave me the gem."

Whoosh!

Jian Shaoxin and Duan Xinlan Teleportation to the scene, and the arrival of Steve and Stark made the three women realize something. Sure enough, the main god gave them a choice of faction: the Avengers or the Black Order.

The three women exchanged glances, Supergirl asked Russell, "What do you think?"

"What do you mean by 'what I think'? Would you choose Thanos?"

Russell countered by asking a question: This is a multiple-choice question for Supergirl. From the moment she participated in the Battle of New York without considering the consequences, the result was obvious: she could not possibly join Thanos's side.

"I see!"

Supergirl nodded, and all three women simultaneously chose the Avengers.

"OK! You've finished talking, now it's our turn..."

The future Stark walked up to Russell, glanced at the Infinity Gauntlet, and calmly asked, "How can you give me the Infinity Stones, or rather, what do the four of you want?"

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's sit down and have a proper chat." Russell shook the Infinity Gauntlet and smiled slightly. "No need to be so serious. My companions and I are here for that the Snap too. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We can join forces to deal with Thanos."

Future Stark remained noncommittal and led the way toward the office on the top floor of the building. "Alright, let's sit down and talk things over. Hopefully, we don't have any conflicts of interest."

He had only taken two steps when he was stopped by himself, who looked annoyed. "Mr. Tony Stark, you may have some memory problems. Let me help you sort them out. This Stark Tower is my territory, and your future is mine."

"Heh, you technologically backward guy, what's that triangle on your chest?" Having only ever seen such an arrogant person in the mirror, Future Stark retorted without hesitation, "If I had a few shrapnels stuck in my heart, I would never speak with such a loud voice, not even for the sake of my own life."

"What do you mean by technological backwardness? You bastard, you've just lived a few years longer than me!"

"Living a few more years means you can speak loudly again!"

"..."

For no apparent reason, the two Stark started fighting. Strangely, the onlookers instinctively became spectators and didn't stop them at all.

Steve was filled with emotion. "I always thought no one could talk Stark out of his mouth, but it seems I was right. Only he can deal with me."

Future Steve nodded. "That's right!"

A moment later, in the conference room on the top floor of Stark Tower, three groups of people sat down separately: the four Russell brothers, the Avengers, and the four who returned from the future.

After recounting the cause and effect, the Avengers looked at each other in bewilderment. Steve volunteered to join the team to fight Thanos, Thor was the most emotional because he had heard that his brother Thanos.

The meeting room was in an uproar, but Russell tapped his fingertips lightly on the table and watched the commotion as if nothing was wrong.

"Is it really a good idea to involve them? I feel like something's not quite right." Supergirl was referring to the Avengers; the real battleground is in the future, and people now shouldn't have the right to know.

Russell rolled his eyes. "Too late. By the time you took to the skies and dealt with the Chitauri army, they had already been dragged into it."

Supergirl turned away awkwardly, but if given the chance again, she would still do the same.

Future Stark, withdrawing from the chaos, asks, "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"Take us to the future!"

Future Stark shrugged. "Sorry, the number of time travels is limited, there's nothing I can do."

"I know that Dr. Pym died from Thanos' The Snap. You lack Pym Particles, so you're saving your time when traveling through time. There's definitely no room for the four of us."

Russell lowered his voice as he said this, "But it's not like there's no way at all. Dr. Pym is still alive, and he has plenty of Pym Particles."

"Do you know that the Stark Family and Dr. Pym have a rather strained relationship?" Future Stark was somewhat intrigued; this was indeed a good idea.

Russell grinned and pointed at the goofy Ant-Man, Scott Lang: "You are successful test subjects. Let him go to Dr. Pym and make a deal: to bring Dr. Pym's wife out of the Quantum Realm."

"..." Future Stark did not respond immediately; he was analyzing the stakes.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Russell lowered his voice again, like a devil's whisper echoing in the future Stark's ear, "He who plays with time will be played with by time. Strange didn't tell you the only way to win, but I have. You're a smart man; you should know what I mean."

Future Stark's fingertips trembled slightly, his pupils contracted sharply, and his Adam's apple bobbed. "No, I don't know..."

"Hehe! Do you want to change your future so that your daughter can have both a father and a mother, and not be affected by the salary... cough cough, I mean a family of three, a complete family."
