Lightning, Huoyan, Wind Blade, Ice Arrow, magic circles, energy blasts...
This Epic Grade scene stunned Loki, the Kamar-Taj Mage who were preparing to Guard the New York City Temple, and even more so the Avengers had traveled from other parallel timelines to retrieve the Infinity Stones and complete the final battle.
"This is not our world!" Banner Hulk said.
"It seems that time travel can't go to our past, it can only go to the past of other Parallel World," the older Tony murmured.
"They're too powerful. If we had the same strength, Thanos wouldn't be a threat," Steve said.
"Indeed, they seem stronger than Thanos with the Infinity Stones. The Chitauri invaders are utterly powerless against them," Banna Hulk exclaimed again.
"I have an idea," the older version of Tony suddenly said.
Steve and the others looked at Tony, and roughly understood what Tony meant.
"No, we should do something we're more confident about." Steve shook his head.
After thinking for a moment, Tony said, "You should be familiar with the concept of time paradoxes."
"Although I don't know much about these things, I have read quite a few books over the years. The time paradox applies to the same world."
Banna Hulk spoke up, " Steve, let Tony finish first."
Older Tony: "Time paradoxes may not simply refer to the same world."
"Once time travel occurred, everything was already out of control. Now that we've traveled through time, time travel exists in the future."
"In other words, time travel will inevitably occur in the future."
"You mean Thanos might have mastered time travel technology and use it to prevent us from obtaining the Infinity Stones?" Banner Hulk immediately understood Tony's meaning.
"No, it's not a possibility, it's a certainty that it will happen. Since parallel universes exist, there must be more than one parallel timeline, there must be countless parallel timelines."
"There must be some timeline where Thanos obtained time travel technology. What if Thanos united with the original entities from all timelines..."
Everyone gasped, stunned by Tony's words.
"Time travel is a Pandora's Demonic Box; once opened, the future becomes unpredictable," said Banna Hulk after taking a deep breath.
"So, what's your plan?" Steve asked.
Tony didn't say anything, but walked straight out of his hiding place. His Iron Man Armor spewed out azure Huoyan, and he flew directly to the roof of Stark Tower.
Steve and Banner Hulk immediately understood that Tony wanted to expose himself directly to attract the attention of the Avengers in this world and make direct contact with them.
The two exchanged a glance, then turned and stepped into the elevator; they couldn't fly.
On the rooftop of Stark Tower, Hill frowned when Hill saw the Iron Man Armor landing in front of her and asked, " Tony, what are you doing here...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Hill realized something was wrong, because the older version of Tony had opened his mask.
"My name is Tony Stark, and I come from another timeline!"
Before Hill could speak, Ling Yi's voice rang in his mind: I'll handle this. You continue with your mission.
The next moment, the older version of Tony and Steve, who had just stepped out of the elevator, Banna Hulk from Hill's sight.
"Other timelines? Parallel universes? It seems they're not doing too well."
When the older Tony and his two companions came to their senses, they found themselves in a manor.
They spotted the bald young man lounging in a deckchair, basking in the sun, looking completely relaxed.
"My name is Ling Yi. I know what you want to ask and what you want to get. I will explain everything to you. Don't worry, I have no hostility towards you."
Tony and his crew were no longer naive young men. Based on what they had just seen, they knew that the bald young man in front of them was an incredibly powerful being.
"My name is Ling Yi, the only Ling Yi in countless Parallel World and countless multiverses."
Ling Yi does not belong to Marvel, so no matter how many Parallel World Marvel has, Ling Yi only exists in this world; he does not exist in other worlds.
That's why Ling Yi said he was the only one.
" Tony is right. Once time travel begins, the future will be uncontrollable, and this will only bring even more terrible disasters to this multiverse."
"I will help you become stronger! Now you have two paths to choose from. By the way, please wait a moment. Barton and Natasha are in danger right now. I'll bring them over first."
After saying that, Ling Yi looked up at the sky and shouted, " Heimdall, help me find the Planet Vormir and bring Natasha and Barton here."
At the end of the Bifrost in Asgard, Heimdall heard Ling Yi's voice.
He naturally knew about Ling Yi; he was an incredibly powerful being who, with just two pieces of equipment, had transformed Thor into a being no weaker God King Odin. Therefore, he dared not neglect Ling Yi's request.
"Agree to his request. Also, send me to Midgard; it's time to meet this outsider."
"Yes!"
On the Planet Vormir, Natasha and Barton had just finished listening to Red Skull Schmidt's explanation of how to obtain the Soul Stone when they were enveloped by a huge pillar of light, and the next moment their figures disappeared.
Schmidt was somewhat bewildered. He looked around blankly, then at the dim sky of Planet Vormir, and muttered, "Faker."
Inside the manor, a beam of light from the Bifrost descended from the sky, and then three people emerged from it.
It was a somewhat bewildered future for Barton and Black Widow, and... All-Father Odin of Asgard.
Ling Yi was somewhat surprised by Odin's arrival, but he soon understood Odin's purpose.
Standing up from his chair, Ling Yi nodded slightly to Odin and said, "Welcome to Earth, Odin, God King."
"Your strength exceeds my imagination; I cannot see through you. You are truly remarkable."
"I was just an accident. To be honest, I didn't actually want to become a strong person. All I wanted was an ordinary life."
"Unfortunately, this world is too dangerous!"
"So, you made Thor and the others stronger, building this incredibly powerful team, just so you could slack off?" Odin laughed.
Ling Yi nodded, not denying it. Why should he go and fight? Isn't everything fine as it is now?
"Take care of their business first." Odin finished speaking, then sat down on Ling Yi's recliner, took a bottle of beer from the nearby freezer, and leisurely began to drink.
Ling Yi chuckled. This old man seemed quite different from what he had imagined; he was rather easygoing.
Of course, Ling Yi also understood that all of this was based on strength.
Ling Yi looked at everyone and continued the previous topic, "The first method is that I will invite you to join my team, allowing you to gain powerful strength in a short period of time."
"Can we defeat Thanos?"
"If Thanos hadn't collected all Six Infinity Stones, you could easily defeat him. As for Thanos in his complete form, it's impossible to say; perhaps he could, perhaps he couldn't."
"What are the requirements for joining your team?" Tony asked, frowning.
"No, strictly speaking, the Team Token is a medium that can make you stronger, not a Contract, and it won't bind you in any way."
"What about another method?" Steve asked, frowning. They didn't quite believe Ling Yi's words. No restrictions, and the ability to quickly increase strength—how could such a good thing exist?
"I plan to study the Infinity Stones to see if I can Copy their power. It should take about three days."
Upon hearing this, Tony couldn't help but say, "Are you kidding me? The Infinity Stones! We've spent decades with no results, and you think you can get them in three days? Are you kidding me?"
" Tony!" Steve frowned. They had come seeking help, and although he wasn't entirely convinced by Ling Yi's words, was this the time to discuss such matters?
"I have a virtual laboratory where time can be extended indefinitely. Three days in reality is equivalent to three, thirty, or even three hundred years in the virtual laboratory, provided your Divine Power can keep up."
Ling Yi offered an explanation, showing no anger at Tony's words.
He offered to help, and Ling Yi didn't really care whether he accepted it or not.
They had only just met and weren't familiar with each other, so Ling Yi wouldn't be surprised if they refused now and continued collecting the Infinity Stones.
"We'll choose the second option, but Banner and I will participate in the experiment." Tony thought for a moment, and without consulting Steve and Banner, he directly chose the second option.
Team Token sounds very formal and official; a team must have Captain and a leader.
Tony wouldn't accept it just for that.
"Okay!" Ling Yi nodded, still not refusing.
This made Tony feel embarrassed. They came to Ling Yi for help, yet they doubted Ling Yi, and they even made a request that seemed almost impossible to others. The key point is that Ling Yi generously agreed.
"I'm sorry!" Steve said to Ling Yi.
"No need for that. In every Parallel World, the Avengers have always been Combat to Guard the world. You are the true heroes."
At this moment, Banner suddenly asked, "Our appearance will inevitably affect the future of your world. We initially only intended to quietly collect the Infinity Stones, use them, and then put them back. Aren't you worried?"
Hearing this, Ling Yi laughed, "My existence is an accident to this world."
What's there to worry about? The Ancient One or the Time Variance Authority's idea of guaranteeing the unique surname of the Sacred Timeline is utter nonsense.
If the future is immutable, then it is no longer the future; only a future with infinite possibilities is the essence of the trajectory of time.
The Ancient One persisted because she feared the future would slip out of her control.
But the Time Variance Authority is truly laughable.
If the Time Variance Authority Bureau dares to show up, Ling Yi guarantees he'll beat them to a pulp and completely destroy their headquarters.
What's odd is that while the Time Variance Authority definitely exists in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, why is there no Time Guardian? This piqued Ling Yi's curiosity.
But it doesn't matter anymore, since Ling Yi is not afraid of any of these things now.
The Nine Great Elemental Magics, also known as Forbidden Power, will teach them to behave properly.
Ling Yi had always wondered if he was the Protagonist of some novel.
In his previous life, he had read far too many novels about transmigrating into the Marvel.
But after thinking about it, I immediately rejected the idea.
What kind of Protagonist is he who doesn't follow the usual formula at all? He starts off in what seems like Hell, but then suddenly rises to power and becomes practically invincible.
Moreover, Ling Yi himself felt that he had put together a lot of things, and they were a bit messy. Unless the author was brain-dead, no author would write the Protagonist's power system in such a chaotic way.
Shaking his head to dismiss these strange thoughts, Ling Yi looked at Odin...
