"Please sit down, everyone. Let's eat and talk!"
Everyone was still a bit reserved, especially Nick, after all, their last meeting had left a deep impression on him.
While cooking the vegetables, Ling Yi said, "My name is Ling Yi, and I don't belong to this world."
Ignoring everyone's thoughts, Ling Yi continued, "I come from another Earth, not Parallel World; it's more complicated than that."
"I am Soul Transmigration to this world. The original owner of this body was beaten to death by several school bullies, and I happened to transmigrate and take over this body."
"In my original world, everyone knew everything about your world—past, present, and future."
"Presented in the form of comics and movies."
Ling Yi placed the mutton slices into the pot, paused briefly, and then continued, "You don't need to doubt it, this world is real."
"When I first came into this world, I also thought it was virtual, fake, and unreal."
"So, I feel alienated from this world, and I want to go home."
But I realized I couldn't go back.
You might not understand this feeling...
"I don't know what to do next, especially since I can look at the issue from a third-party perspective."
"I know your past, present, and future, so I'm considering a question: should I get involved? Should I be the bad guy or the good guy?"
"Should I... change the future of this world?"
Everyone was moved by Ling Yi's words, and they were also considering this question: what would they do if they were in his shoes?
"I hesitated for a long time, Later I simply avoided the issue. I found Kingpin Fisk, and with his help, I set up a laboratory and developed the Beast Armor."
"Later, Kingpin asked me to help him deal with the Hand, and I agreed because I knew the Hand looking for the Dragon Bones."
"You created a disaster!" Nick couldn't help but say, still harboring resentment about it.
"For me back then, even if the world were to end, what would it have to do with me?"
"I have absolutely no sense of belonging to this world. Just like I asked you that day, if you wanted to turn me into an enemy, I wouldn't mind destroying this world. Do you think I was joking?"
"We can sit down and eat together now because I've figured some things out."
Or rather, I'm integrating into this world.
"A week ago one afternoon, I sat in Manhattan Park for a long time."
"I saw an elderly couple, supporting each other, taking a happy stroll; I saw a mother playing joyfully with her child in the park; I saw a young couple walking past me hand in hand."
"Their faces all wore smiles as bright as sunshine."
"Only at that moment did I feel the reality of this world."
"I don't want to say anything too lofty. This world has its filth, but it has far more beauty."
The hot pot was boiling, just like Ling Yi's mood at that moment.
"You are the Guardian of this world's future. You have faced countless difficulties time and time again, and you have paid a heavy price for it."
"In the future, Nick is dead, Natasha is dead, and Barton, driven to despair, becomes an assassin, spending his days slaughtering gangsters and thugs to numb himself."
"And many others who joined you Later died Guard this world."
"And those who survive continue to struggle in despair."
"The crises you will face in the future are far too much for you to handle. Every victory is a one in ten thousand chance, and the slightest deviation could lead to the destruction of this world."
" Later, half of all life in the universe disappeared, followed by the invasion of the multiverse. This world is constantly in Reincarnation Revive and Revive."
"This is the future of this world, or rather, the story that will unfold next."
Everyone felt a sense of suffocation; the future Ling Yi spoke of was far too terrifying, even if it was just a few words.
"But I discovered something very interesting: the world doesn't reject me."
"No, it's not just that they don't reject me, they really welcome me."
"That day in the park, I finally figured out why."
"This world is trapped in a vicious cycle; only by breaking this cycle can the world achieve freedom."
"In particular, after meeting Stark and discovering an extremely stupid bug, my suspicions were further confirmed."
"I can't change the outcome of the story, because that's the rule, but I can change the process of the story; I can speed up the plot's progress."
"The reason why you Guardian of Earth will have such a hard time in the future is because you are too weak."
"I will make you stronger, stronger than all invaders, all enemies."
"For example, you destroyed Hydra. If things had gone according to the original storyline, you wouldn't have had it so easy."
" Beast Armor can Infinite Evolution. During this time, you should Fusion a lot of genes through Beast Armor, becoming stronger."
"However, there is something I must tell you. Although I have given you the Beast Armor, I have absolute control over it. If anyone loses control because of the power of the Beast Armor Beast Armor, I will Deprivation them of their power or simply eliminate them."
"I am the Swordholder, do you understand what I mean?"
To Ling Yi's surprise, no one objected to the term "Sword Bearer".
Nick, in particular, nodded in agreement, saying, "This is insurance; you did the right thing."
"It would be best if you could understand, but if you don't, I will still do it."
"In the future, when this world no longer needs me, or when there is a better Swordholder, I will hand over the identity of the Swordholder to someone else."
"Actually, Nick is very much suited to be the Swordholder, but I bet if I gave you that role, you'd kill me first."
Nick nodded, stating without hesitation, "No need to bet, I really will do it."
"I know you want to form the Avengers and speed things up. This world is about to face its first crisis. Every Avengers will receive the Beast Armor, so you need to be careful."
"I don't want to have to personally retrieve the Beast Armor I give away."
"Okay!" Nick nodded.
"That's it, let's eat, then everyone go about their own business."
After dinner, Steve left with Nick, Barton and Coulson returned to Mexico, and Natasha went back to S.H.I.E.L.D.. to recruit and train new members.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D.. currently has only a handful of staff and desperately needs fresh blood.
" Ling Yi, is this your true thought?" After everyone left, the Red Queen asked curiously.
"Part of it is!"
"Understood!"
"Hehe, what have you figured out?"
"Control!" the Red Queen said succinctly.
Ling Yi smiled slightly but did not answer.
Control? Ling Yi doesn't need it at all. In the face of absolute power, so-called superficial power is a joke.
Ling Yi has only one goal: to break free from the Prison of this world.
Yes, in Ling Yi's view, the Marvel Universe is a Prison, a Prison bound by the plot.
The key point is that this world is conscious.
Ling Yi, as a time traveler, felt this more clearly.
Whenever Ling Yi does something that changes the original plot, it becomes clear that he is more deeply integrated into this world.
It was as if the World Consciousness was encouraging him to do so.
Ling Yi even wondered if his journey to this world was related to the consciousness of the Marvel Universe.
Prison cannot be broken from the inside, so it can only be broken by external force, and Ling Yi is that external force.
Ling Yi's "open and honest" approach to Natasha and the others was not merely aimed at giving himself a clear identity.
It also tells certain beings the meaning of their existence.
For example: the Watcher!
After all, those beings, though seemingly powerful, are also Prison within the world.
On the other side, Nick asked Steve, "Do you believe him?"
I believe it!
"Why?"
"If the future is truly bleak, then we can only believe, because we need strength."
"Do you believe he really came from another time?"
"I believe you!" Steve said again.
Nick thought for a moment and then stopped asking questions. Just like Steve said, they needed strength.
In Old Bridge, Mexi State, Coulson and Barton, who had just arrived at the temporary camp, received a message from Ling Yi.
It briefly recounts the plot of Thor 1 and gives them two goals.
One is Thor's genes, and the other is a picture of Asgard.
And I told them the reason.
The genes of the gods allow the Beast Armor to evolve Divine Power, while the desire for a photograph of Asgard stems from the ability to Teleportation.
All you need is a photo to Leap ahead.
However, this poses a challenge for Coulson and his team, as they do not possess Ling Yi's near-limitless energy.
Next, all that's left is to wait.
The seeds have all been planted; all that's left is to wait for them to germinate.
Ling Yi's return to Midtown High School caused quite a stir.
Smythe and his buddies' deaths are a big deal.
Smythe's family even caused a scene at the school for almost half a month.
However, due to Kingpin Fisk's intervention, Ling Yi was able to deal with Fisk's parents.
This is precisely why Ling Yi's background has become mysterious in the eyes of the school's teachers and students.
They've already been labeled as "not to be messed with."
When Ling Yi returned to the classroom, she was surprised to find that her seat had been taken.
She is a very sweet and lovely-looking girl, at least that's how she appears to be.
Interestingly, Ling Yi's original deskmate's seat became empty, as this girl occupied the entire table, while Ling Yi's original deskmate, a chubby boy named Nathan, moved to the back.
"Interesting!"
The moment Ling Yi saw the girl, he recognized her.
The infamous Hit-Girl Mindy Macready.
This classroom is full of "familiar faces": Spider-Man, Peter Parker, the future Green Goblin II, Harry Osborn, and even Ling Yi's deskmate Nathan, who was Spider-Man's assistant in college.
Now we have another Hit-Girl Mindy...
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the class, Ling Yi sat down directly next to Mindy.
