"Mei Terumī has arrived in the Land of Water with her people. With everything settled, I finally have time to proceed with my next plan."
Looking at the Wood Clone working hard in the Hokage's Office, Meikyō reached out and touched the void, stepping into the Teleportation Circle.
Because of the previous great war, the Land of Land of Wind suffered an unprecedented super earthquake, especially the western and northern regions near the battlefield, which are now almost uninhabitable for humans.
Sunagakure was also moved from its original location to the more prosperous area near Rōran.
Of course, this is also closer to Konoha, making it easier for Konoha to control Suna and the Land of Wind.
It also makes it easier for Meikyō to use Konoha's power to protect the Dragon Vein.
Each month, a female Jonin will work with two female members of the Jonin Commander who are skilled in Sealing Technique to protect the Dragon Vein. Each month counts as one A-rank mission, and each person can only take on this mission a maximum of two times per year.
These things naturally cannot stop Meikyō.
Without anyone noticing anything amiss, the Reincarnator's Wristwatch finally absorbed enough energy.
"The selection criteria... Let me think. Sufficiently powerful energy technology is a must, and the upper limit of the world's energy level must be above mine. Then, there must be a suitable way for me to improve my strength. My main way to improve my strength right now is the Mirror God Eye, so the most suitable thing for me should be a treasure of the rule system..."
After a process of selection, a faint blue light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, Meikyō arrived in another world.
"Does it still feel the same?"
Meikyō stood in a small alley, covering her eyes where blood and tears were streaming down her face.
Before, he didn't feel anything, but after copying the spatial ability of Blast and learning how to travel between different dimensions, Meikyō was already able to vaguely sense some of the things that happened when he traveled through time and space through the Reincarnator's Wristwatch.
He tried to see with his Mirror God Eye, and that's how the current situation happened.
"I can now vaguely sense the essence of spacetime. The distance between worlds is not a distance in time and space, but a manifestation of a higher dimension. Any action, or even just observation, can cause ripples in spacetime, similar to quantum collapse. I just don't know if my actions will cause other unexpected situations, such as being transported to a related world of the target world."
Meikyō wiped away the blood and tears from the corners of her eyes and thought silently.
Just then, a white spider silk shot onto the wall, and a figure wearing a red and blue bodysuit swung out.
"Hey buddy, I just saw your eye was bleeding. What happened? Do you need me to take you to the hospital? If you have a fear of heights, I can call you a taxi, but you might have to pay the fare yourself, as I'm not in a great financial situation lately."
Meikyō looked up and immediately recognized the classic image.
Spider-Man?
"Yes, Spider-Man, the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man from New York, buddy, you still haven't answered my question. Need any help?"
Spider-Man crouched on a lamppost, spread his hands, and asked.
He had just been lying on the top of the cathedral three blocks away, close to the center of New York City, where he could easily move around and had a good view, making it easy to see Meikyō here.
Spider-Man often focuses on alleyways, especially those areas prone to accidents.
"No need, thank you, I have my medicine with me."
Meikyō shook her head.
"Okay, buddy, the material of your cosplay outfit is pretty good. Although I don't know what character it is, I suggest you try cosplaying Spider-Man next time."
Spider-Man winked at the Meikyō through the pupils on his eyepatch, then shot out another web that swayed away.
"Cosplay".
Meikyō looked at the clothes she was wearing and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I've entered the Marvel universe.
The upper and lower limits of combat power in this world are both very high, and there are also many treasures. You should be able to find something to improve and become stronger.
Fortunately, my English was passable before I became a time traveler, so I could still manage some simple conversations.
However, I still need to improve my English.
Sensing that Spider-Man's presence had already faded away using his Observation Haki, Meikyō returned to the shadowy alleyway and formed a hand seal.
"Transformation Jutsu!"
With a bang, a puff of white smoke appeared, and when they looked again, Meikyō had transformed into a young white man wearing an unrecognizable suit, looking like an ordinary office worker.
In this society, there are not many Asians, but there are quite a few Africans. However, Meikyō is worried that if you walk on the street, you might accidentally do something that could get you shot.
Although most modern conventional firearms cannot harm oneself, displaying them would certainly attract too much attention.
Being like I am now is perfect.
The next step is to find a way to obtain enough intelligence to further understand the current state of the world.
The best way to obtain intelligence is, of course, to use money to pave the way.
As for how to earn your first pot of gold...
Meikyō thought for a moment, then made a hand seal, transforming into a blonde Caucasian woman who looked to be in her early twenties with a curvaceous figure, carrying a bag, and walking into the depths of the alleyway she had sensed.
A dozen minutes later.
The blonde beauty, carrying a handbag, turned the corner of the alley and headed down another side street.
Behind her were five or six thugs with colorful tattoos, lying unconscious on the ground.
After turning another corner and moving to a blind spot from pedestrians to avoid surveillance cameras, Meikyō Hand Seals again and transformed back into the white man's appearance.
"The six people only found a little over seven hundred dollars in total, which is a bit poor. They also had six cell phones, all of which were old-fashioned flip phones, which means that the current timeline should not be that far back."
Meikyō secretly made a guess, saw the advertisement posted across the street, and used her Transformation Jutsu to change her clothes to the same style as the celebrity in the advertisement before stepping onto the street.
After taking a few newspapers from the magazines, Mingjing went into a bar on the street. Ignoring the enthusiastic men Meikyō women, he ordered a drink from the bartender and then found a quiet corner to read the newspapers while listening to people's conversations.
"I don't see the Avengers. Is the timeline not right yet? No, there's no news related to Stark Industries either. Are there no Avengers here? No Iron Man?"
Meikyō frowned, feeling that perhaps, just as she had previously predicted, the location of her arrival had been slightly off.
Do we need to go back and time travel again?
Let's first see if there's anything worth gaining from this world.
Meikyō sighed, gave the waiter a ten-dollar tip, and looked at the television hanging on the wall.
"This station reports that the Osborn Group will launch its latest medical product on the first of next month..."
"President Obama has approved the report submitted by the Secretary of State and will reach a new economic cooperation agreement with Great Britain next month, aimed at..."
Meikyō sat in the bar for more than an hour.
"It's 2009 here, which is still very early. Smartphones are just starting to become popular, and a large number of people are still using old-fashioned flip phones. But even at this point in time, I haven't been able to find any information about Stark Industries and the Avengers."
Once they felt they could no longer obtain any more information from this place, Meikyō began its next move.
Half an hour later.
After using illusion magic to sneak into the internet cafe and start searching for information, Meikyō frowned.
There really is no Tony Stark!
Stark Industries does exist, but it's an arms company that went bankrupt after a brief period of glory during World War II!
The reason was that the company's founder Howard Stark, was assassinated by someone sent by James Mustache.
There are only two well-known superheroes.
One of them is Spider-Man I met when I first came into this world.
The other one is Captain America, Steve Rogers.
However, this superhero had just celebrated his 90th birthday six months ago, and President Obama even specially invited him to the White House to receive a medal.
Yes, every president tries to do something when they take office, using Captain America's influence to do some political showmanship.
Because he used the Super Soldier Serum when he was young, he is still very healthy even at ninety years old. However, he obviously can no longer fight like he did seventy years ago, wearing a flamboyant Stars and Stripes suit and carrying a shield.
Spider-Man seems to be the only normal superhero in this world.
Although villains like Dr. Lizard and Rhino Man occasionally appear, there aren't any particularly outrageous enemies overall, and their numbers aren't too large; Spider-Man- Man alone is generally enough to handle them.
"Tsk, could it be a personal universe just for Spider-Man? There doesn't seem to be much of value in that. Unless there's an alien creature like Venom, which might have some value, a simple symbiote wouldn't be able to improve my strength, which is quite a pity."
Meikyō pondered with a sigh.
"In that case, let's find a secluded place, return to the Ninja World, absorb the energy of the Dragon Vein once more, and travel through time again!"
The thought flashed through my mind.
Just as Meikyō stood up, the computer screen in front of her suddenly went black, and the chandelier on the ceiling flickered and went out.
"The power is out?"
Someone pressed the light button, looking troubled.
Some people also looked out the window.
It was already late afternoon, just as the sun was setting. The streetlights and Japan of the shops should have illuminated this most bustling city on Earth as brightly as during the day, but in an instant, they all went dark.
Meikyō squinted and looked in a certain direction.
That was the first place where the power went out.
Meikyō sensed extremely intense spacetime fluctuations in that direction.
Meikyō took out a US dollar bill and handed it to the internet cafe manager before disappearing into the stairwell.
Because the spatial fluctuations were too intense, Meikyō did not activate teleportation.
Because the closer you get to that place, the more spatial and temporal anomalies you encounter.
The upside-down houses, the streetlights that have suddenly been broken in half, and the folded spaces that appear like shattered prisms, all create a cyberpunk-like color palette due to the abnormal light within the space.
"It has connected to other spacetimes! One, two! No, it has mutated into four! Five! But the state is very unstable, Mr. Kingpin. I suggest we stop immediately, collect the energy data of time, and wait for the machine to cool down before conducting the next experiment."
A female scientist with several octopus tentacles attached to her back was rapidly operating the buttons and keyboard in front of her with her hands and octopus tentacles, speaking loudly.
"No... no, Dr. Olivia, please continue!"
Kingpin, leaned against the glass, looking down at the machine that was conducting an energy counterattack.
The space below is like a large factory.
Such a large space was arranged solely for the instruments and other supporting facilities located at the very center.
The machine continued to roar, the energy clashes grew stronger, and the blinding light made it impossible to open one's eyes.
The next moment, the wall shattered, and a person wearing a red and blue bodysuit was smashed against the edge of the machine.
Kingpin's eyes widened in surprise.
Spider-Man...!
Kingpin and slammed his fist into the glass, cracking it.
"Oh, Mr. Norman, I didn't expect you to look even uglier! But your new trousers are really stretchy! Could you tell me where you bought them and what kind of fabric they're made of? I've always felt my bodysuit is a bit tight, and it's not very comfortable down there; I need to loosen them up!"
"Mr. Vulture, you have excellent taste. The trench coat is very nice, but don't you get tired of wearing it all the time? I have several styles of my trench coats. If you're interested, I might be able to design one for you!"
Spider-Man isn't the only one who's come here.
There's also the Green Goblin and the Vulture who blasted Spider-Man here.
Unlike other timelines, the Green Goblin here is not a super soldier equipped with high-tech skateboards and suits, but a bio-engineered human with demonic wings, a lizard head, and an arthropod-like torso.
This looks like a combination of Green Goblin and Dr. Lizard.
"You damned, gossipy worm!"
Norman, with his long tongue dangling out, attacked Spider-Man frantically, spitting all over the face of the Vulture beside him.
"You wretched little bug!"
The Vulture wiped the slime off its helmet, popped out the claws from its high-tech suit, and its trench coat opened up, making it fly towards Spider-Man like a bat.
"Hey! Mr. Vulture, you've got the wrong person! The one who spat on you wasn't me, it was Mr. Norman!"
The three superhumans fought a fierce battle. Spider-Man was able to fight against two opponents with his agility, but when Kingpin, joined the battle, the situation changed drastically.
"Roar!"
Spider-Man, who was lying next to the instrument and trying to destroy it, was grabbed by one of Norman's feet and his head accidentally entered the spacetime rift opened by the opposing energy.
At the same time, Meikyō silently appeared behind Doctor Octopus, watching this scene through the glass window.
