"What's next?" Banner looked at Tony and Steve.
"Continue. The Spatial Teleportation is still there, which means the Space Stone and the Mind Stone are still here. We need the power of the stones, and we have no other choice," Steve said firmly.
Just then, two Teleport Gate appeared in front of the three of them, Ling Yi and the Ancient One walked out of the Teleport Gate one after the other.
"Those who play with time will ultimately be played with by time. You have broken the rules of time," The Ancient One said.
" Ancient One, don't frighten them. Their appearance represents the future, and they need help."
Ling Yi and the Ancient One had exactly opposite ideas.
The Ancient One always obeyed time and never disrupted it.
In the Ancient One's view, the future can have countless Changes, but it must never overlap with the past.
Ling Yi's words immediately won over the future Avengers.
"Yes, we need help," Banner said, sounding somewhat distressed.
"That's a matter for your world. Your presence will plunge this world into an even greater crisis, and the world will be affected because of you."
The Ancient One has always been extremely disgusted by people who play with time.
Even if they are the Avengers Guard the Earth, it won't work.
In this matter, the Ancient One remained quite indifferent; in the Ancient One eyes, they were merely intruders.
" Ancient One, believe me, this is the future. Whether they appear or not, this is the future. Your deliberate avoidance is nothing but a compromise and an escape from the future."
The Ancient One frowned and thought for a moment, then turned around, welded a Teleport Gate, and left.
Although the Ancient One didn't quite agree with Ling Yi's statement, Ling Yi's statement wasn't wrong either. The key point is that the Ancient One believed Ling Yi.
"Let's go, let's meet the Avengers of this world."
Ling Yi pushed forward, and a Teleport Gate appeared behind him, spinning rapidly and enveloping them all. The next moment, Ling Yi and the future Avengers disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, Avengers of this world have gathered at Ling Yi's house.
Upon seeing the familiar Teleport Gate, Nick and the others immediately stood up.
The general store was a bit crowded at the moment, so Ling Yi said directly, "Let's go to the second floor."
This building was originally a gift from Tony to Ling Yi. The first floor was a general store, and it remains just that now.
The top floor is where Ling Yi lives.
The remaining floors are all vacant.
The second floor used to be a large conference room, which is now a perfect place for them to sit together and talk.
In the center of the conference room was a large round table, around which fifty chairs were arranged.
Everyone tacitly took their seats.
Ling Yi sat in the main seat, Nick sat to his left, Steve sat to his right.
The Avengers of this world sat on Nick's side, while the Avengers of the future sat on the opposite side.
Loki, on the other hand, sat in a corner, trying to minimize his presence.
At this moment, the Avengers of this world are looking at the future Avengers with great curiosity.
Especially for Tony, Banner, and Steve, the feeling they had when looking at themselves was truly bizarre.
"Can you explain why there's another version of me?" Tony asked first.
"We come from the future, or more precisely, from the future of another Parallel World."
Tony spoke in the future, his voice weathered and Aura with a hint of despondency.
"In our world, Thanos successfully snapped his the Snap, wiping out half of all life in the universe. We lost so much, so very much," said Steve, his face covered in stubble.
"To change the future, we can only do so through the Infinity Stones. Originally, we thought the Infinity Stones Infinity Stones were in Thanos's hands, but by the time we found him, they had already been destroyed."
Steve continued.
"Can the Infinity Stones be destroyed?" Banner asked.
The Infinity Stones not only possess inexhaustible energy, but are also Destroy.
" Thanos made the gems collide with each other, forcibly erasing their power," Future Tony explained.
"So, you found a way to travel through time and space, came to our world, and want to Plunder our Infinity Stones?" Nick, who had been silent until now, asked warily.
"It's not Plunder, it's Borrow," Steve corrected Nick in the future.
"We know we can't change the future casually. Our original plan was to go back to the past, obtain the Infinity Stones, change the future, and then return the Infinity Stones intact."
"However, what we didn't expect was that this past wasn't the past of our world. Our world doesn't have Mr. Ling Yi. We almost failed Chitauri Invasion Incident back then."
"It is your Luck that Mr. Ling Yi exists in this world."
"Just how bad will the future be?" Barton asked.
"It's terrible. Your family was wiped out by Thanos ' The Snap. You gave up your bow and arrow, picked up a katana, and became a Madman only knows how to kill."
Barton's face instantly turned incredibly ugly, his muscles tensed, and he simply couldn't accept this outcome.
"Half of the lives were wiped out, countless families Shattering, and people were plunged into despair."
At this point, Steve fell silent, seemingly unable to recall the despair Thanos had brought them.
"How is Asgard?" Loki suddenly asked from the corner.
Steve glanced at Loki, then looked at Ling Yi.
After seeing Ling Yi nod, Steve said, " Odin died peacefully, and Hela who had been sealed by Odin, broke free of her seal and ultimately perished together with Surtur, the God of Huoyan."
Loki didn't speak, but his clenched fists revealed his extreme inner turmoil.
" Asgard was shattered, Ragnarok descended, and you and Loki, along with the remaining Asgard, were forced into exile throughout the universe, only to eventually encounter Thanos."
"Has Asgard been destroyed?" Loki asked, his expression pained.
"Some of Asgard's people survived, but you, because of your Sneak Attack on Thanos..."
Loki smiled wryly. "Am I dead? That doesn't seem so bad. Who is Hela?"
" Odin's eldest daughter, who is also your and Thor's sister, once fought alongside Odin in the Nine Realms and made great contributions. However, Hela was too obsessed with war, causing a lot of unnecessary killings. This led to a huge disagreement with Odin, and she was eventually sealed away by Odin."
"Where is my foolish brother?" Loki asked again.
"He lost One Eye and now he's become a fat, greasy Uncle."
"Did he come too?"
"Yes, according to the timeline of our world, after the Chitauri invasion, Thor brought the Space Stone back to Asgard, and he should be in Asgard now."
After Steve finished speaking, he fell silent, and everyone else instinctively fell silent as well, for the news brought by the future Avengers was simply too heavy.
Even if that wasn't their future, it was still unacceptable to them.
"What are you worried about? We have Ling Yi; Thanos will definitely not succeed."
Seeing everyone so dejected, Natasha couldn't help but speak up.
Everyone looked at Ling Yi, and instantly recovered.
Yes, they have Ling Yi, who single-handedly annihilated the Chitauri Army and even called out to Ling Yi throughout the entire universe.
This is their world's trump card.
"Our world's progress is much slower, making it unlikely that we can gather Infinity Stones in a short time. But things aren't as bad as you think. I have two suggestions."
Ling Yi tapped the table and slowly began to speak.
The future Avengers looked at Ling Yi with anticipation in their eyes.
Having witnessed Ling Yi's power, they were eager to receive Ling Yi help.
"First, I will help you collect the Infinity Stones, but this process may be very long, and..." Ling Yi paused and continued.
"Moreover, the Ancient One was right. Those who manipulate time will ultimately be manipulated by time. You can travel to the past, and so can Thanos. You have unlocked the Key to time, and time in your world has become a tool that can be controlled."
" Thanos from any timeline could use the power of time to hunt you down. The Infinity Stones you brought back could very well be Perception by Thanos from the future or the past, and reused by him."
No one spoke or refuted, because what Ling Yi said was likely true.
"Secondly, I will visit your world, provided that you have sufficient trust in me."
The future Avengers fell into deep thought.
Whether Ling Yi is trustworthy or not, they don't know, but Ling Yi strength is undeniable.
Will continuing to collect Infinity Stones guarantee success?
It's quite possible that, just as Ling Yi said, once the shackles of time are broken, their future will become even worse.
Or rather, they have actually broken the shackles of time, and the future is no longer predictable.
"We need the Infinity Stones to Resurrection the lives Thanos erased and bring them back," Steve said, taking a deep breath.
Yes, their goal wasn't to defeat Thanos, but to save people.
"I may not have explained myself clearly. What I mean is, go directly to your world, to the Combat where Thanos the Snap, defeat him or kill him before he the Snap, and you can completely use the Infinity Gauntlet to return to your past."
Are you sure you can defeat Thanos?
Tony frowned. They were all very aware of Thanos's power. Although Ling Yi was also very powerful, they didn't think that Ling Yi would be a match for Thanos.
"At least Thanos can't defeat me."
Ling Yi was confident in this. Putting aside the system, with Ling Yi current attributes alone, he could easily withstand Thanos.
"Could it get any worse?" Banner asked.
"We will change the future of another parallel universe." Steve frowned.
"What's the point of such a future? It's changed, so be it," Future Tony said.
Steve fell silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "Alright, we'll try anyway, and we don't have any more time to waste."
In the future Tony said with a pained expression, "The time-travel equipment needs to be reset. The existence of parallel universes adds too many variables. We need to make sure we can find our way home."
"I can help you, oh, help myself," said Tony from this world.
Now that the plan had been set, everyone quickly began discussing the specific details.
At this moment, Nick looked at Ling Yi and asked, "What about that Spatial Teleportation?"
"Don't you think this is a shortcut for our Earth to quickly enter Interstellar civilization?" Ling Yi said.
"But this also means that we've opened the door to the entire universe, and you, you're about to leave this world, which is dangerous for Earth."
"Then I look forward to the enemy's arrival. Don't forget what I said before."
Nick's One-Eye lit up. "You mean..."
"This time we annihilated the Chitauri Army, and the gains were considerable. I can give you one hundred spots."
"What level of strength can you reach?" Nick asked excitedly.
How about the combination of Auntie Marvel Carol Hulk?
"Okay, I'll go prepare it right away."
The Avengers of this world all understood the significance of Ling Yi and Nick's conversation, and they were all filled with anticipation and excitement.
"You wouldn't happen to be...?"
Loki, with his quickest mind, immediately realized something and asked incredulously.
"I've said it before, Earth has never needed outside protection, Odin..."
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, a dazzling seven-colored light descended from the sky, piercing through the entire building's floorboards and finally landing in the conference hall on the second floor.
An old man wearing an eyepatch over One-Eye, holding a scepter, and clad in golden armor appeared before the crowd.
Ling Yi's expression instantly turned cold.
