Qin Xiao never expected that the Ancient One would actually throw out the Time Stone.
In Avengers: Infinity War: Infinity War, Doctor Strange saw over ten million possible future outcomes using the Time Stone.
Furthermore, in Avengers: Endgame, when Dr. Banner found the Ancient One and said he wanted to see Doctor Strange...
The Ancient One directly stated that he arrived five years too early, and he should still be undergoing surgery several blocks away.
This suggests that the Ancient One definitely had the ability to foresee the future.
If that's the case, she should understand perfectly well that Doctor Strange is her successor and the next guardian of the Time Stone.
So why did you say you'd hand the Time Stone over to me in the future?
There's also the so-called Time Variance Authority, based on the Loki trailer Qin Xiao watched before his transmigration and what the Ancient One initially said.
They should be arresting anyone who disrupts the original timeline of events.
For example, Loki, who was destined to be taken to Asgard and imprisoned, actually ran away with the Tesseract.
Undoubtedly, he was also someone who disrupted the established timeline, so why hadn't they come to arrest him? Was it because of the system?
If it's because of the system, then if the Time Variance Authority can be blocked, why can't the Ancient One be blocked?
What did she see in the future?
Why must I be forced to go to Kamar-Taj with Doctor Strange to learn magic?
Qin Xiao, who initially felt like he had a god-like perspective in the Marvel Universe, now felt as if there were layers of fog before his eyes, waiting for him to peel them away little by little!
I wanted to ask the system, but the system is constantly being upgraded.
Why upgrade now of all times?
"Ah!!!!!!"
Qin Xiao became increasingly annoyed and kicked away a huge trash can that was over a meter tall and almost two meters wide.
The metal trash can was kicked by Qin Xiao, sending the trash inside flying at least two stories high.
A light, intermittent shower of trash began to fall from the sky.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. Let him do whatever he wants. I'll develop slowly until the end, and then we'll see who can touch me!!!"
"Clang!!!"
Qin Xiao's time ended with the sound of a trash can hitting the ground heavily, finally releasing some of his pent-up frustration.
Don't dwell on things you can't understand. With the system at your fingertips, just wait for your strength to increase, and then you'll have nothing to fear.
Qin Xiao comforted himself with this thought and was about to leave the deserted alley.
Suddenly, he noticed a white man standing in front of him, holding a dagger and staring blankly at him.
Two twisted pieces of toilet paper and a sanitary napkin visibly stained with blood were placed on her head.
There were still a few strands of spaghetti covered in meat sauce hanging from the dagger.
Judging from where he was standing, he must have been hiding behind that big dumpster, holding a sharp knife, ready to rob me.
He must have been terrified when he kicked the trash can away.
He's as thin as a lightning bolt; he must be a drug addict.
However, seeing him standing still, Qin Xiao couldn't help but think of the kid in Shaolin Soccer who used the Praying Mantis Fist.
Their standing postures are exactly the same.
"Robbery?"
Qin Xiao stepped forward and asked.
"No, you've misunderstood, I'm eating!"
The robber, looking dazed, raised the noodles on his dagger as a gesture, then shook his head, causing the sanitary napkin to flutter in the wind.
"Eating here?"
"Yes, the air here is nice, isn't it?"
"Nice hat. Do you have any cash on you?"
Fifty dollars!
"Is this enough space to take a taxi from here to Stark Industries?"
"Enough!"
"Give it to me! Thank you!"
Qin Xiao took the banknotes and casually patted the robber on the shoulder.
"Click!"
With a soft cracking sound, it was clear that Qin Xiao had fractured the other person's shoulder blade with a single blow.
Inside the New York Sanctum, the Ancient One, who had just appeared to Qin Xiao with an air of complete control and an air of profound wisdom that seemed to say "heavenly secrets cannot be revealed," was now present.
After Qin Xiao left, he sat on the sofa with a worried look on his face.
"How could this happen? What on earth happened?"
The Ancient One sat on the sofa, muttering to himself.
After a long pause, the Ancient One seemed to have made up her mind.
He sat cross-legged on the sofa, his hands forming a mudra, one above the other, with the Time Stone floating between his palms, emitting a faint green light.
As the green light slowly spread, the Ancient One's body began to tremble violently.
Moreover, its speed increased faster and faster, eventually leaving behind afterimages in the air.
In that instant, it was as if countless the Ancient One were superimposed on the same spot.
Countless heads of the Ancient One appeared from different angles, some in pain, some solemn, and some joyful.
The shaking speed increased, the green light spread faster and faster, and more and more phantoms appeared on the Ancient One's body.
Just as everything was about to reach its limit, all the trembling, phantoms, and green light suddenly contracted and expanded.
Everything returned to calm.
"Puff!"
The Ancient One spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face was filled with an expression of utter disbelief.
Then came a burst of ecstasy.
Hahahaha!
If Qin Xiao saw the Ancient One like this, he would definitely think that she was not the same person he had just seen.
With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, he sat cross-legged on the sofa, laughing wildly as if he had gone mad.
However, Qin Xiao couldn't see any of this. After robbing an unlucky robber and getting fifty dollars from his pitiful body, he took a taxi straight to Stark Industries ' New York branch.
It was called a branch, but actually, it was after Tony set off fireworks on an industrial building in Los Angeles.
In fact, more and more businesses are shifting their focus to New York, after all, it is an international financial center.
Otherwise, this Stark Expo wouldn't have been held here.
The branch office has inadvertently become the headquarters.
Qin Xiao's taxi had just stopped in front of the building when he got out.
A car horn sounded from the side.
A very flashy dark red Acura NSX convertible sports car pulled up next to Qin Xiao.
Who else could it be but Tony Stark?
"I remember I generously lent you my company's car and driver, so why did you come back in a taxi? You know, I rarely act that generous."
"Don't even mention it. I thought it would take a long time to get out, so I let the driver go first. I didn't expect it to be over so quickly."
Qin Xiao shrugged, saying with a hint of helplessness.
"Looks like you didn't have a great day. Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere that'll cheer you up immediately!"
Tony patted the passenger next to him.
"How about we get a different car? Convertibles are too flashy, and I don't like the color of yours, dark red, it's too ostentatious, Tony! This isn't my style!"
Tony's car is a limited edition; nowadays, even if you have the money, you can't buy it. Qin Xiao suddenly remembered the way Tony looked at him like he was a poor guy last time, and he felt a little sour.
"Promise me you'll come with me to do something, and this car is yours. How about it? I told you, I'm rarely being generous."
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately shoved Tony into the passenger seat.
" Tony?"
"Um?"
"Did you know? When I was little, my parents told me that the specialty of my hometown was bayberry. Have you ever eaten bayberries? They're sweet and sour, and so delicious! The ripe bayberries are the same color as this car. Oh my god, I love this color! It's the color of my hometown!"
Tony:...
