Chapter 137 Target, Secretary of State!
"This Registration Act is a conspiracy, a conspiracy to eliminate Superheroes and then allow the mastermind to rule the World!"
Listening to Medusa's "truth," the scene immediately became agitated.
This time, Lynn didn't even need to arrange for Tony to incite the crowd in the parade; the public, feeling deceived, reached peak anger!
Illuminati Base.
Peter Parker watched in a daze as the crowd outside, who were originally protesting them, now furiously targeted the U.S. government. He opened his mouth, then said to Scott, "So… we don't have to sign that document?"
"Probably not… right!"
Scott, whose expression was equally dazed, nodded mechanically.
"This is just the beginning!"
Looking at their surprised expressions, Gwen chuckled, "This is just the beginning. You should know that Lynnnever does things halfway!"
"Bang!"
A bottle of red wine was smashed against the wall. Kang looked gloomily at Lynn and the others on the TV.
A moment later, the gloom on Kang's face slowly disappeared. He then took out his phone and dialed a number.
Once the call connected, Kang said, "You won this bet, Lynn Hall. No wonder my foolish variant became Kang the Conqueror. I must say, for a moment there, I almost had the urge to use force!"
Illuminati Base.
Hearing the mastermind's call and referring to the variant as Kang the Conqueror, Lynn instantly knew his identity.
Damn it, I didn't expect this mastermind to be a variant of Kang.
Lynn made a shushing gesture to stop the cheers of the crowd and placed his phone in front of the computer.
While rapidly tracing the call's origin, he spoke to Kang, "Kang the Conqueror?"
"No, you should call me Kang the Wise!"
Hearing Lynn's address, Kang the Wise chuckled, "Originally, I wouldn't have lost this bet, but I didn't expect to encounter such a clever opponent like you. With just one moment of carelessness, you seized the opportunity to turn the tables!"
Watching the computer narrow the signal tracking range, Lynn continued, "I don't know what Conqueror or Thinker means, but I know you were almost successful. If it weren't for Conley Dwyer actively showing up on AttilanIsland…."
"Then even if I had discovered your conspiracy and wanted to save the situation, I would have had to pay a huge price."
Watching the signal lock onto Washington, Lynncontinued, "Although I haven't met you, I guess you must have a follow-up plan, otherwise you wouldn't live up to your title of Thinker!"
"Haha, you guessed it again!"
Sitting in his chair, Kang picked up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth: "This is just the beginning, Lynn. You are smarter than anyone else in the multiverse, which really piqued my interest. So, I look forward to us continuing to cross paths."
"By the way, as the loser of the bet, I can give you a "reward"!"
As his voice fell, Kang the Wise took out a palm-sized device and pressed it. The next second, the space-time around Kang began to shatter, reassemble, and shatter again, eventually forming a brand new space-time shield.
"What reward?"
Seeing that the signal tracking had locked onto a specific street in Washington, Lynn made a phone gesture to Steve, then drew a circle in the air.
Steve, who immediately understood Lynn's meaning, immediately took out his phone and dialed Stephen Strange.
"I have hidden your Universe from the Kang Council's sight. From now on, no Conquerors, Pharaohs, Marvels, or Scarlet Centurions will appear in your Universe!"
"Lynn Hall, I look forward to our next encounter!"
As soon as the call ended, Stephen Strange opened a magic portal and walked in.
"Strange, we have locked onto the mastermind behind this conspiracy. Take us to Washington immediately!" Lynn Hall said, pointing to the specific location on the computer.
"No problem!"
After glancing at the address, Stephen Strangeimmediately opened a magic portal.
At the same time, on a private plane flying from Washington to New York.
"Mr. Secretary of State, you need to see this!"
The Secretary of State, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, thinking about how to force the Illuminatiand the Avengers to agree to sign the Registration Act, frowned as his aide rushed over with a tablet.
He unhappily picked up the tablet and glanced at it. When he saw the content, the Secretary of State's face instantly changed drastically.
Picking up the phone from the table, and seeing dozens of missed calls displayed on the silent phone, the Secretary of State immediately said to his aide, "Tell the pilot to change the destination! We are returning to Washingtonimmediately!"
After the aide went to the cockpit, the Secretary of Statetook a deep breath, then pressed the President's button.
Washington, in a Congressman's office.
Looking at the content in the video, the Congressman subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
As one of the most radical members of the Superhuman Registration Act, who constantly appeared in the media trying to "gain fame."
Laurie Thompson was extremely panicked at this moment.
Damn it, who would have thought that behind the Superhuman Registration Act, there would be a conspiracy? And it was a conspiracy to divide the Superheroes and then conquer the World?
F*ck, he just wanted to gain some political capital, how did he become an accomplice to the mastermind?
Closing his laptop, Laurie said to his subordinate in an urgent tone, "The Secretary of State's call still can't get through?"
Seeing his subordinate shake his head, Laurie paced anxiously in the office.
"We can't just sit here and wait. Scott, the video has just been uploaded online, and many people haven't seen it yet. But once today is over, I'm afraid people in the U.S., and even the entire World, will know about this!"
"We have to find a way, Scott. You go contact the media now and tell them I want to—"
Before Laurie could finish speaking, the office door was kicked open, and several men in suits walked in.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the guys who suddenly broke into his office, Laurie immediately had a bad premonition.
"Mr. Laurie Thompson, we are the FBI. We suspect you are involved with some Terrorists who intend to harm the country."
With that, two FBI Agents directly took out handcuffs and went forward to cuff Laurie, preparing to take him away.
"I'm innocent! You can't do this to me! I just stood up to support the Registration Act, that mastermind has nothing to do with me—"
Before Laurie could finish speaking, the leading FBI Agentstepped forward and punched him in the stomach.
Looking at Laurie, who instantly hunched over like a shrimp, the FBI Agent grabbed his hair and said, "Of course we know all this, but did you think about this when you were 'dealing with' Mr. Hall?"
"You… you dare hit me?"
Looking at Laurie, who was hunched over and staring at him in disbelief, the leading FBI Agent sneered, "Idiot, I've already started beating you, and you still haven't figured it out?"
"You don't really think we FBI can't find your criminal evidence, do you!"
With that, the FBI Agent patted Laurie's terrified face and said, "Repent in prison for the rest of your life!"
Just as he was about to leave with the man, his peripheral vision caught sight of Laurie's aide. The FBI Agentslapped his own head: "Almost forgot about you!"
With that, the Agent stepped forward and took him away as well.
At the same time, a large number of FBI Agents began to act. Many Congressmen who had previously appeared in the media were arrested by the FBI on various charges.
Washington Airport.
When the Secretary of State hurried off the private plane, what awaited him was not the pre-arranged car, but James Duke with FBI Agents!
The moment he saw James Duke, the Secretary of State's expression became a little ugly, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and stepped forward with a smile, "Director Duke, I didn't expect you to come personally. Is there something?"
Facing the Secretary of State's inquiry, James Dukechuckled, "It's nothing major. It's just that we suspect you are involved with the superpowered criminals who appeared in New York and the New York subway tragedy, so we'll have to trouble you to cooperate with our investigation."
"I'm worried my subordinates are too rough, so I can only personally invite you to our FBI Headquarters for a visit!"
Hearing James Duke's words, the Secretary of State's expression instantly became ugly: "You should know that these two incidents in New York have nothing to do with me!"
"Of course, I know that, but after all, these two cases were orchestrated by the mastermind behind the Superhuman Registration Act, who attempted to endanger the U.S. security."
"And you, Secretary of State, are a strong supporter of this Act, so this is just a necessary investigation!"
Hearing Director Duke say this, the Secretary of Statefrowned.
The current public opinion was very unfavorable to him. He had originally planned to arrange some matters to extricate himself after returning to Washington, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by James Duke with this absurd excuse halfway!
It seemed that this matter could only be left to his staff for now.
Thinking of this, the Secretary of State smiled and said, "Alright, I have a clear conscience anyway. It's quite nice to go to your FBI Headquarters for a cup of coffee."
With that, the Secretary of State turned to his staff and said, "You go back first!"
Before the Secretary of State's staff could leave, Director Duke directly had someone stop him: "He can't leave. After all, he's your staff, so he also needs to be investigated!"
"You…"
Seeing his staff member being stopped, Director Duke, that smiling tiger, gave him no chance to make any amends.
The Secretary of State's face instantly darkened: "Director Duke, you're not giving me any face at all!"
"Heh heh, don't mind it, this is standard procedure!"
After speaking, Director Duke waved his hand, directly having someone escort the Secretary of State and his staff into the car!
Watching the two being led into the car, the assistant said, "Director, we don't have any incriminating evidence against the Secretary of State. Even if we bring him back to FBI Headquarters, it won't do much, will it?"
Listening to the assistant's doubt, Director Duke sneered: "Useless? Public opinion has already begun to ferment, and he is the Act's staunchest supporter. We are now controlling him, not giving him any chance to 'remedy' the situation."
"In three days at most, the backlash of public opinion will drown him. Even if we release him without much incriminating evidence then, he won't be able to remain Secretary of State!"
"That simple?"
Hearing Director Duke's words, the assistant asked with some surprise.
"Of course not! But for Lynn, three days is already enough!"
After speaking, Director Duke walked towards the car.
Washington, inside a luxurious Villa.
"It seems we were still a step too late!"
Looking at the empty Villa and the broken wine bottle in the living room, Tony Stark said to Lynn, "That Kang the Wise still managed to escape!"
Lynn looked around, finally fixing his gaze on a palm-sized, clearly damaged instrument.
He walked over, picked up the instrument, and carefully examined it. Lynn then frowned and said, "A time machine!"
"A time machine?"
Tony took the instrument from Lynn's hand, looked at it for a moment, and said, "So, that damned Kang the Wiseused a time machine to escape, going to the past or the future?"
"That should be the case!"
Nodding, Lynn looked at Tony and said, "Is there a way to repair this time instrument and then track which point in time Kang the Wise went to?"
"It's a bit difficult, I'll try my best!"
With that, Tony turned to Ultron: "Tin Man, I need your help!"
"No problem, flimsy tin man, I'm also very interested in this show!"
Everyone who failed to catch Kang the Wise returned to New York, but Lynn remained in Washington.
FBI Headquarters.
"I really didn't intend to side with that mastermind. I just wanted to gain some political capital, that's all. You have to believe me, everything I said is true!"
Outside the interrogation room, Lynn watched Senator Laurie Thompson, who was sitting in the interrogation chair, crying and repeatedly shouting that he was wronged.
Lynn took the document, glanced at it, and then said to the FBI Agent beside him, "How many Congressmen were arrested today in total?"
"A total of thirty-two Representatives and thirteen Senators were arrested from both Houses. These are the people who were most vocal after the Registration Actwas proposed."
Facing Lynn's inquiry, the agent replied, "As for the Secretary of State, he has also been temporarily brought back, but Director Lynn, the 'fabricated' evidence we have can only keep the Secretary of State here for three days at most."
"And these three days will also face external pressure, so…"
"Three days? That's enough time!"
With that, Lynn took the file and pushed open the door to the interrogation room.
The moment Lynn entered the interrogation room, the two FBI Agents in charge of the interrogation immediately stood up.
And Laurie Thompson was also stunned when he saw Lynn.
Waving his hand to signal the two to leave, Lynn sat down in the chair and said, "I've looked at your file, Senator Laurie. I didn't expect that these past few years you…"
Before Lynn could finish, Laurie Thompson knelt down in front of Lynn with a thud: "Mr. Hall, I was wrong, I really just wanted to gain some political capital, I had no intention of going against you at all."
"Please, you must believe me. As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to do anything for you. Whatever you command, I am willing to do it all!"
Lynn looked at Senator Laurie, who was just a few days ago enjoying boundless glory, but now was like a stray dog.
Lynn casually threw the document in front of him: "Many people have wanted to be my dog over the years, but do you think you have the qualifications?"
Looking at the document, one by one, they were all the crimes he had committed over the years.
Laurie Thompson's face instantly turned ashen.
Sitting on the ground with a dead heart, just as he was about to resign himself to his fate, he caught a glimpse of Lynn's half-smiling expression out of the corner of his eye.
Laurie Thompson instantly understood the meaning of Lynn's previous words.
"Mr. Hall, I know many things. I know many dirty secrets of those Congressmen who publicly supported the Registration Act. I am willing to cooperate, I am willing to help you together…"
"Not enough!"
Lighting a cigarette, watching the light blue smoke slowly rise, Lynn looked at Laurie and said, "I heard that you have always been a staunch supporter of the Secretary of State?"
In just three days, public opinion had turned 180 degrees.
The broadcast of the video made the public realize that they had wronged the Illuminati and the Avengers' Superheroes, and had even almost become accomplices in triggering a Superhero Civil War.
For a time, the protest groups across the U.S. that had originally marched and demonstrated, wanting Superheroes to sign the Registration Act, all stood on the side of the Illuminati and the Avengers.
Many protest groups even spontaneously surrounded the Capitol, demanding severe punishment for the Congressmen in the Capitol who supported the Registration Act.
Inside Congress.
At this moment, the Congressmen were also in a state of panic. Not only were the outside surrounded by citizens protesting against them.
Even the FBI had directly arrested forty-five Congressmen, and even the Secretary of State had been taken away.
For a time, all the Congressmen felt extremely uneasy, fearing that the FBI's next target would be themselves.
After all, among those who could hold such a position, how many were clean?
Some restless Senators found the President of the Senate, who was also the Vice President, to discuss this matter, but after the Vice President discussed it with Justice Minister Jeff Russell, he no longer paid attention.
And when the Speaker of the House of Representatives found the President, hoping to discuss this matter with him, the President also ignored it.
After all, when both Houses passed the Superhuman Registration Act and approached the President, hoping he would agree to the Act's passage, but after the President vetoed the Act, two-thirds of the members of both Houses re-passed the Act, and it officially became law.
Now that such a thing had happened, the President, disguised by Raven, would certainly not participate!
She didn't want to offend Lynn!
Seeing that all those who could take charge had become cowards, the panic within Congress grew even more intense.
Especially after the FBI arrested seven more Congressmen in these three days, every Congressman feared that they would be next.
Inside the Illuminati Base.
Looking at his phone ringing again, Tony Stark smiled at Steve: "This is already the ninth Congressman who has called me. Tsk, they even implicitly and explicitly promised to provide Stark Industries with some 'policy conveniences'."
"Heh, I really don't know what these idiots are thinking, trying to bribe me with that, and then wanting me to stand up and plead for them? Do I look like I'm short on money?"
Chapter 138 Multiverse?
Hearing Tony say that, Steve smiled: "Many calls have found me too, hoping I can talk to Lynn, but I'm not going to bother with those people either."
"After all, this matter is aimed at us. If we don't let Lynnvent his anger, things will definitely get worse."
"Besides, it's time to teach these people a lesson, so they don't target us again in the future!"
As soon as Steve finished speaking, Natasha walked over with coffee: "That's not like you, Steve. I thought you would prioritize the bigger picture and then persuade Lynn or something."
Listening to Natasha's teasing, Steve shrugged: "Lynnalways acts with discretion, so he won't let this country fall into chaos!"
Inside the FBI Headquarters interrogation room!
"You should be clear about the Current public opinion, Mr. Secretary of State!"
Looking at the Secretary of State sitting in the interrogation chair, Lynn held his coffee and smiled: "Plus the evidence laid out on the table, what else do you have to say?"
Hearing Lynn's heavily sarcastic words, the Secretary of State slammed the table and angrily said: "FXXX, this is a frame-up, this is a goddamn frame-up!"
"Frame-up?"
Facing the Secretary of State's angry expression, Lynnextinguished his cigarette in the ashtray: "I also find it a bit hard to believe, after all, a dignified Secretary of Statewould actually use his position to cover for Mexican drug traffickers transporting drugs into the United States, thereby gaining hefty rewards."
"But now the evidence is right here, the funds in your overseas accounts are the best proof, and among the senators and congressmen we've arrested, twenty-four congressmen are willing to come forward and accuse you."
"Congressman Laurie Thompson even claimed to have handled many 'dirty deeds' for you over the years, and to prevent you from liquidating him, he even kept evidence of all those dirty deeds."
At this point, Lynn put down his coffee and casually threw the second piece of evidence in front of him: "Look, these people were all your 'confidants' in the past!"
Picking up the evidence in front of him and looking it over, the Secretary of State's brows furrowed even tighter.
Some things he did indeed instruct Laurie Thompson to do for him, but some things were purely slander!
As a politician of many years, the Secretary of Statenaturally knew that he had now lost completely!
After taking a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, the Secretary of State put away his anger and said to Lynn: "Lynn, I want to have a good talk with you!"
Hearing the Secretary of State say that, Lynn raised his hand to signal, and the next moment the video recording in the interrogation room was turned off.
"I know I don't have immunity, but I also don't want to go to jail!"
Looking at Lynn, the Secretary of State said seriously: "How about we make a deal? Anyway, with this 'evidence' here, the best outcome for me is to become an ordinary person."
"Deal?"
Hearing the Secretary of State say that, Lynn smiled: "I'm very curious, what do you have now that's worth me letting you go?"
Inside James Duke's office.
After pouring Lynn a glass of water, James Duke picked up a document and glanced at it, then said to Lynn with some surprise: "Mr. Hall, these political resources..."
"This is a political resource exchange from behind the Secretary of State. As long as we don't continue to pursue him, these political resources can be used by us."
"With the support of these political resources, whether it's the position of Secretary of Justice or the future position of President, you have a great chance!"
The higher James Duke rises, the greater his future help to himself will be.
If he became President...
After putting away the documents, James Duke said to Lynn: "Mr. Hall, for the past three days, there has been widespread panic within Congress. Many congressmen are afraid that they will be the next person to be arrested by the FBI."
"So, during this time, some congressmen have already chosen to defect to us."
Hearing James Duke say that, Lynn pondered for a moment and said: "So many positions have been vacated in Congress, find a way to place our people in them."
"Although we can't completely control Congress, this way we can gain a lot of say in Congress!"
"No problem,"
Watching Lynn stand up, James Duke also stood up and said: "Mr. Hall, so we're just letting the Secretary of Statego like that?"
"Why bother with a dead man?"
Walking to the door, Lynn turned to look at James Duke, who was seeing him off, and then smiled: "Be more open-minded, be kind to others. After all, bickering with a dead man makes us seem too narrow-minded!"
"Understood!"
After understanding the meaning in Lynn's words, James Duke chuckled and saw Lynn out of the office!
At the party inside the Illuminati Base.
"Cheers!"
In the joyful musical atmosphere, members of the Illuminati and the Avengers, as well as Black Bolt and Medusa, all raised their glasses to celebrate the perfect resolution of this incident.
This party was proposed by Tony, after all, ever since Conley Dwyer proposed the Superhuman Registration Act, this act had been like a huge boulder weighing down on everyone's hearts.
Now, not only has this matter been resolved, but Congress no longer dares to focus its attention on them.
This was completely worth celebrating with a party.
"It's a pity Thor hasn't returned from Asgard yet, otherwise we could taste the fine wine from the divine realm!"
Facing Tony's somewhat regretful tone, Steve, who was beside him, smiled: "Last time at the party, we tasted Asgard's fine wine, but except for Lynn and me, no one else could handle it at all."
After Steve finished speaking, Lynn also held his wine glass and smiled: "Ultimately, Pepper and Happy had to send you back. You were listless for a whole week afterward, and now you still want to drink?"
Listening to Lynn's teasing, Tony turned his head and glanced not far away, where Pepper and the other women were gathered, chatting.
Then he spread his hands to Lynn and Steve and said: "What do you two know? Although Pepper always complained about me showing off during that time, she took care of me very gently for a week."
"If I hadn't really been unable to keep up the pretense later, I really wasn't planning to 'perk up'!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Tony say that, Lynn and Steve exchanged glances, then both gave Tony a thumbs up!
"Heh, learn from this. When your bodies can't take it anymore in the future, this is all experience!"
Looking at Tony's proud expression, Lynn turned to Steveand said: "With our physical condition, would we be unable to take it?"
"Probably not!"
After shaking his head, Steve looked at Tony with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"FXXX!"
Without hesitation, Tony gave them both the middle finger, then walked away with his wine glass towards the others.
"I don't know why, but I always feel like it's not over yet!"
Looking at the Happy people at the party, Steve said seriously: "Although it seems like everything is over, Kang the Wise escaped using a time machine."
"I always feel like we'll have to face him again, so Lynn, we need to make some preparations!"
Hearing Steve's serious tone, Lynn also put away his smile: "I think so too. It's clear Kang the Wise doesn't intend to end this game, but never mind, let's enjoy the party today. Anything else can wait until tomorrow!"
Watching Lynn raise his glass, Steve nodded, then clinked glasses with Lynn.
After the party ended, everyone stayed at the Illuminati Base to rest.
Even Black Bolt and Medusa did not leave.
The next morning.
As the sunlight streamed into the room through the blinds, Lynn slowly opened his eyes from his sleep.
Opening his eyes, he subconsciously looked around, and Lynn sat straight up from the bed.
"Uh, what's wrong?"
Beside him, Gwen, startled awake by Lynn's movement, rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up, looking at Lynn and asking: "Did you have a nightmare?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gwen also noticed that something was off about the room.
The furnishings in the room where they were currently were exactly the same as Lynn's large flat bedroom in Central Park, even down to the smallest details.
But, after the party ended last night, they were clearly staying at the Illuminati Base, so how did they wake up back in Lynn's large flat?
Seeing this bizarre scene, Lynn and Gwen both got out of bed.
"Lynn, why are we at your house? What exactly is going on?"
Facing Gwen's question, Lynn shook his head: "The specific reason is unclear for now, but something we don't know must have happened here. Let's get dressed first, don't let panic affect our judgment!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Gwen began to get dressed and wash up.
During this time, Lynn took out his phone and dialed the numbers of Tony, Steve, Natasha, and everyone else.
He wanted to know if anything unusual had happened to them.
As a result, except for Wanda, all the numbers for the Illuminati and the Avengers were either out of service or belonged to other strangers.
It was as if everyone had changed their numbers overnight!
Wanda was woken up by Lynn's call, and after waking up, she was also very surprised because she found herself not in the Illuminati Base where she had stayed last night, but in the apartment Lynn had bought for her.
More than ten minutes later, outside the apartment.
After meeting Lynn, Wanda recounted what had happened since she was woken up by the call.
"So, you also found yourself in the apartment when you woke up this morning? This is the same as us."
Hearing Wanda's narration, Lynn nodded. Gwen, who was beside him, speculated, "Lynn... have we come to a parallel Universe?"
As soon as Gwen finished speaking, Wanda pointed to the right and said, "Gwen's guess might be correct. Look over there!"
Following the direction of Wanda's finger, they saw a hundred-meter-tall sculpture standing in the most prominent location in Manhattan.
"Let's go take a look!"
With that, Lynn drove Wanda and Gwen towards the sculpture.
Inside the car.
"I think it's very likely that something went wrong with time and space after we went to sleep last night, which brought us into a parallel Universe."
Looking at the familiar yet strange buildings flashing past the window, Gwen continued to speculate, "Otherwise, there's no explanation for why all the surrounding buildings have changed, and why we can't contact anyone else from the Illuminati or the Avengers!"
Hearing Gwen say this, Wanda said, "Actually, after Lynncalled me, I tried calling Jean and Ororo, but strangers answered every time."
"The only thing that hasn't changed is Pietro's number, but Pietro doesn't remember me at all!"
Hearing Wanda say this, Gwen was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I just called my parents when I was in the bathroom. Their numbers haven't changed, and their identities haven't changed either."
"It's just that they don't remember having a daughter like me, and they don't remember Lynn either!"
Hearing Gwen say this, Lynn frowned, and then, while driving, he dialed Alice's number.
As soon as the call connected, he heard Alice's familiar voice say, "This is Alice, who is this?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Lynn Hall!"
"Who?"
On the other end of the line, hearing the name Lynn Hall, Alice frowned, "Who is Lynn Hall? Which department? And how did you get my number?"
Hearing Alice's confused tone, Lynn hung up the phone directly.
"It seems that the people in this World probably have no memory of the three of us!"
In front of the hundred-meter-tall sculpture.
"Kang the Wise, who once single-handedly defeated the Chitauri army led by Loki and saved Earth, and whose robot army stopped all wars worldwide, is hailed as the greatest person of this century."
Looking at the long introduction in front of the sculpture, Gwen frowned and said to Lynn, "Kang the Wise? He's the mastermind behind the Superhuman Registration Act. Could he be a Superhuman in this parallel Universe?"
"No, this shouldn't be a parallel Universe. If I'm not mistaken, Kang the Wise used a time machine to go back to our past timeline and then changed everything!"
"Last night at the party, I told Steve that Kang the Wisewouldn't give up so easily. Now..."
Before Lynn could finish his sentence, his Spider-Senseinstantly issued a warning.
Almost at the same time, Gwen also turned her head and looked to the right.
Hundreds of robots were flying from a distance, their target precisely the three of them.
Seeing this, Crimson Magic glowed in Wanda's palms, and Gwen also pressed the nano-container on her waist that Lynn had asked Tony Stark to make for her.
As the Spider-Man suit covered her body, Gwenimmediately said, "Lynn, Wanda, these robots must be coming for us."
"Leave these robots to me, you two be careful!"
Nodding to the two of them, Lynn flew directly into the air and then rushed towards the steel robots.
The Heat Vision released from his eyes instantly shattered several robots at the forefront, and the violent Current energy in his palms directly covered the group of robots.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a series of explosions, dozens of steel robots exploded in the air, forming brilliant fireworks.
The other robots immediately fired bullets at Lynn.
Dense bullets, like a net, Pounce Lynn, but Lynn didn't care about these bullets at all.
The force field energy released instantly enveloped the sky, and many robots didn't even have time to shoot before Lynn effortlessly disintegrated them.
In just a few tens of seconds, hundreds of steel robots were so easily dealt with by Lynn.
The shattered robot fragments fell to the ground, and countless pedestrians below screamed and fled in all directions.
Before Lynn could turn around and fly back to Wanda and Gwen, those broken robot fragments slowly floated up from the ground into the air, and then assembled into a giant robot dozens of meters tall!
Seeing this giant robot, dozens of meters tall, release energy attacks from its eyes towards him, Lynn was just about to counterattack.
An arrow pierced through the air and directly embedded itself in the robot's head, then the red light on the arrowhead lit up, and powerful Current destroyed the robot's control system!
Turning his head to look in the direction the arrow was fired, he saw a figure completely covered standing on the rooftop.
And beside him, a figure in a black Spider-Man suit was enthusiastically waving at him, as if greeting him.
Although these two were completely covered, Lynnrecognized their identities immediately.
Clint Barton and Peter Parker!
Flying to their side, before Lynn could speak, Peter Parkerimmediately said enthusiastically, "Hey, buddy, you're really powerful! You destroyed so many steel robots in one go. How come I've never heard of someone like you?"
"Are you a Mutant? Or an Inhumans? But no matter who you are, since you've attacked Kang the Wise's robot army, it means you're our ally."
"Haha, with such a powerful ally like you, I think our chances of overthrowing Kang the Wise's rule have increased by another point. Oh, right, I still don't know your name. May I ask..."
Before the black-suited Spider-Man could finish rambling, Hawkeye, who was beside him, directly interrupted him, "Now is not the time to talk. If we don't leave quickly, Kang the Wise's combat team will be here!"
Hearing Hawkeye say this, Peter Parker repeatedly patted his head, "Sorry, sorry, I'm just too excited. After all, we haven't seen anyone dare to resist Kang the Wisein a long time!"
With that, Peter swung down from the building with a web, and Hawkeye looked at Lynn and said, "Shall we go somewhere else?"
"Okay!"
Lynn did not refuse Hawkeye's invitation.
He also wanted to know where everyone else was in the timeline changed by Kang the Wise.
At the same time, in Kang the Wise's office at New York City Hall.
"Sir, our robot army was defeated by a suddenly appearing stranger, and this stranger has been taken away by the Defenders!"
With that, the subordinate played the holographic projection video.
Watching the video, Lynn Hall swiftly eliminated his robot army and, to avoid satellite surveillance, entered the sewers with Hawkeye and Spider-Man.
Kang the Wise leaned back in his chair and laughed, "He's finally appeared. Going back to change the future timeline resulted in the anchored person and those around him disappearing for so many years."
"After waiting so long, he's finally back!"
Chapter 139 Lin En was caught on purpose
Saying that, Kang the Wise gently tapped the table.
Soon, a red-haired woman in a leather jacket pushed the door open and walked in.
"Leader, you called me?"
Looking at Natasha Romanoff in front of him, Kang the Wise replayed the holographic projection.
After the video finished playing, Kang the Wise said, "Natasha, take the combat team and 'invite' Lynn Hallback. He's currently at the Defenders Base!"
"Heh, these fools still think I don't know where their Baseis!"
"No problem!"
Hearing Kang the Wise's words, Natasha nodded, then turned and left.
Watching Natasha leave, Kang the Wise picked up the red wine on the table and stared at Lynn in the video, saying, "The game can finally begin. This time, I'm very curious how you'll win!"
Inside the Defenders Base.
Coming up from the Base's sewer, Gwen looked at the somewhat dilapidated but very familiar Base.
Then she whispered to Lynn, "Isn't this the third floor of our Illuminati Base before it was built? I can't believe this place became their Base!"
Hearing Gwen say that, Lynn nodded.
"Wow, are you Spider-Woman?"
Looking at the spider suit on Gwen, Peter Parker asked curiously.
"Spider-Woman, are you Peter Parker?"
"Oh my goodness, how did you know my identity?"
Seeing Gwen directly reveal his identity, Peter Parker was immediately startled.
"I also know he's Hawkeye Clint Barton!"
Hearing Gwen say that, Barton's footsteps paused, he turned his head, removed his mask, and said, "It seems you are very familiar with us. So, who exactly are you?"
Facing Hawkeye's inquiry, Lynn explained the situation and the past timeline.
After Lynn finished his narration, Hawkeye also explained the situation of this World.
Initially, everything was the same as Lynn's timeline: Steve Rogers injected the serum to become Captain America, defeated Red Skull, and then crashed his plane into a glacier.
But somehow, Kang the Wise suddenly appeared and rose to power, then quickly dominated this World.
In the early days, countless people were dissatisfied with Kang the Wise's rule, believing him to be the greatest dictator of the century.
For this, countless people joined the resistance against Kang the Wise.
But later, Loki led the Chitauri to invade Earth, only to be defeated by the army led by Kang the Wise, and he also successively resolved several alien invasions of Earth.
From then on, people's attitude towards Kang the Wisechanged.
And when Kang the Wise used the most advanced technology to solve human problems in medicine, livelihood, entertainment, and other fields, making everyone in the World happier.
People's attitude towards Kang the Wise's rule changed from resistance to admiration.
Coupled with the destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D., which had been secretly resisting Kang the Wise's rule, Nick Fury's death, and the imprisonment of others.
Now, the only people resisting Kang the Wise's dictatorship were him and Peter Parker!
Hearing Hawkeye's narration, Lynn thought for a few seconds and said, "So, S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't investigate what year Kang the Wise appeared before its destruction?"
"No!"
Facing Lynn's question, Peter Parker, who was beside him, spread his hands: "When we resisted Kang the Wiseunder the leadership of Nick Fury, we also secretly investigated this matter."
"But we found that his past seemed to have been deliberately hidden. Initially, our investigation showed he appeared in '08, but after S.H.I.E.L.D. was destroyed and we were on the run, we accidentally saw a document and found that he had appeared as early as 1945!"
"So we can't be sure now if his earliest appearance was really in 1945!"
After Peter finished speaking, Clint suddenly asked, "Lynn, you just said we're from the same Universe, but the timeline was altered by Kang the Wise, causing everything to change."
"But if it's the same Universe, why have we never heard of you three?"
"I'm also very curious about that!"
Looking at Clint, Lynn put down his coffee and said, "I guess this is intentional by Kang the Wise, because in our timeline, I foiled his plot and won against him once."
"So he probably wants to challenge me to a second round."
Just as he was speaking, the red alert of the Defenders Base suddenly flashed.
"Oh no, Kang the Wise's combat team must have found us!"
Clint immediately stood up from his chair and said to Lynn and the others, "Follow me!"
Following Clint into the secret passage of the Defenders Base, several people moved through the underground passages.
More than ten minutes later, everyone arrived at a deserted factory in New York through the secret passage.
"Over the years, to evade Kang the Wise's capture, we've built many secret passages beneath the Defenders Base, some of which even include..."
Before Hawkeye could finish speaking, Lynn's Spider-Sense instantly issued a warning, and Gwen and Peter Parker also changed their expressions simultaneously: "Not good..."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked up through the damaged roof and saw a missile flying rapidly towards them.
Seeing this, Hawkeye immediately opened the secret passage: "Quick, follow me, let's enter—"
"Don't panic, leave it to me!"
As her voice fell, Wanda stepped forward, and the Crimson Magic energy in her hand shot up into the sky, directly intercepting the missile.
The missile, enveloped in Crimson Magic energy, stood suspended in the air, and with Wanda's manipulation, it instantly rose hundreds of meters into the sky.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion echoed in the air, and the flames seemed to dye the sky red.
"Oh my goodness..."
Seeing this, Peter Parker excitedly said, "Clint, they are all so powerful, why are we still running? Why don't we just break into Cube Prison, rescue all our companions, and then take down Kang the Wise together?"
"Cube Prison? Is it the Cube Prison on Staten Island?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Gwen said to Lynn, "It seems many things haven't changed!"
As he spoke, drones flew towards them from outside, and Lynn also sensed some super-powered individuals approaching.
"It seems that the secret passages of your Defenders Base must have been discovered by Kang the Wise's group long ago, otherwise we wouldn't have been attacked by missiles as soon as we appeared here, and now there are more super-powered individuals outside. You all leave here first, I'll deal with them!"
Saying that, Lynn looked at Clint: "I don't know how strong Kang the Wise is, but if we want to restore our timeline, we have to get rid of him! Peter is right, at this time we need more companions!"
"With Wanda and Gwen helping you, Cube Prison should be easily breached!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Clint nodded.
"Be careful X2!"
Seeing Wanda and Gwen simultaneously tell him to be careful, Lynn nodded.
After the others entered the secret passage again, Lynnwalked directly out of the factory!
Outside the factory.
Thousands of drones carrying offensive weapons flew rapidly towards them in the air.
And on the ground, cars sped towards them.
"Well, I guess it's time to relax!"
Stretching his limbs, Lynn looked at the dense drones in the air, then activated his power to manipulate the force field.
"Boom!"
As the first drone self-destructed under the control of the force field energy, all the drones in the air immediately self-destructed one after another.
The dense self-destructing drones formed a sea of Fire in the air, and before their debris could fall, Lynn instantly teleported directly in front of the convoy.
The leading car, seeing Lynn suddenly appear, braked sharply, then a burly man flew out of the car, clenching his fists and attacking Lynn with a sinister grin!
Watching the brawny man's powerful fist smash towards his head, Lynn casually raised his hand and effortlessly caught the powerful blow.
Seeing his fist being so easily caught by Lynn.
An incredulous expression immediately appeared on the brawny man's face.
"Is that all? You're much weaker than Hulk!"
With a slight squeeze of his palm, the brawny man's hand bone was instantly crushed by Lynn.
"Ah!!!"
Listening to the brawny man's miserable scream, Lynn's Heat Vision unhesitatingly blasted his head!
As soon as the brawny man's head was blasted into watermelon juice by Lynn, a large group of super-powered individuals quickly rushed towards Lynn.
Violent thunder energy struck down from the sky towards Lynn, while white ice breath seemed to freeze Lynn, and raging flames attacked Lynn's mind directly, as a long blade that could cut through iron like mud also stabbed towards Lynn.
In the middle of the convoy, Natasha Romanoff sat on the car roof, her eyes slightly narrowed as she watched various powerful energy attacks directed at Lynn.
No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
When she saw Lynn's figure move like a ghost, weaving among these super-powered individuals, not only did he remain unharmed.
Instead, with just a dagger, he transformed into the God of Death, harvesting the lives of these super-powered individuals, and a slight smile even appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Although this faint smile was fleeting, Lynn, who was in the thick of the battle, still keenly caught it!
"Crack!"
After easily slitting the throat of the fire-powered individual in front of him with his dagger, Lynn turned his gaze to the others.
At this moment, dozens of super-powered individuals' corpses already lay beneath Lynn's feet.
The remaining few super-powered individuals, upon meeting Lynn's emotionless eyes, retreated in terror.
"Tsk, what a pity!"
Shaking his head, the dagger twirled in Lynn's hand, and before the last few guys could escape, he instantly teleported beside them and finished them off cleanly!
Hmm, what Lynn found regrettable was that all these people were simply following orders, and their favorability towards him didn't even reach -1.
Otherwise, if so many super-powered individuals were taken down by him, how many super abilities would he have gained!
After dealing with these super-powered individuals, Lynnlooked at Natasha sitting on the car roof, then walked towards her and said, "Aren't you going to run?"
"Can I run?"
Leaping down from the car roof, Natasha stood in place, "These combat team members are the best example. If they could run, they wouldn't have all been taken down by you!"
[Natasha Romanoff Favorability: 5]
Lynn was slightly surprised to see that Natasha's favorability towards him on this timeline was 5 points.
But soon he heard Natasha say, "As expected of someone Mr. Kang, the Thinker, values, you are indeed formidable, but this is as far as you go!"
As her voice fell, a machine instantly appeared above Lynn, and a powerful suction directly pulled the dagger from Lynn's hand.
Not only that, the blue energy released by the machine instantly transformed into countless ropes, firmly binding Lynn, making it impossible for him to use any of his energies!
Looking at the blue ropes binding him, Lynn pretended to struggle for a long time, then "gasping for breath" said, "Damn it, what have you done to me?"
"These are ropes that can suppress extraordinary abilities, specially created by Mr. Kang, the Thinker, to deal with powerful individuals like you!"
Saying that, Natasha lightly tapped her watch, and soon Mr. Kang, the Thinker's holographic projection appeared before her.
"Mr. Kang, Lynn Hall has been captured by me. Unfortunately, the others escaped!"
Hearing Natasha say this, Mr. Kang, the Thinker's gaze fell upon Lynn Hall, who was bound by the suppression ropes, and his eyes were clearly filled with excitement.
"Lynn Hall, haha, I didn't expect that in the end, you would still lose to me!"
Listening to the excitement in Mr. Kang, the Thinker's tone, Lynn Hall said, "Are you sure?"
"Of course! You should know that the suppression ropes are not only technology but also a product of magic. I created them specifically for you!"
"To be honest, I'm already impatient to meet you. Natasha, you did very well this time. Don't worry about the others for now, bring Lynn Hall back immediately!"
"Yes, Mr. Kang!"
After hanging up the video, Natasha opened the car door and said to Lynn, "Do you need me to personally push you into the car?"
Hearing Natasha say this, Lynn did not resist, but directly sat into the passenger seat.
Once the car started, Natasha casually pressed the signal jamming button.
After doing all this, Natasha then said to Lynn, "You deliberately got caught, didn't you? Based on the abilities you just displayed, the suppression ropes shouldn't be able to bind you!"
Facing Natasha's question, Lynn Hall said, "If I didn't get caught, how would I be able to meet Mr. Kang, the Thinker?"
"And from the expressions you deliberately showed while I was fighting those super-powered individuals, weren't you trying to tell me that you and Mr. Kang, the Thinker, are not on the same side?"
Hearing Lynn say this, Natasha drove the car and said, "You know me very well?"
"Not well, but I know the Natasha I know!"
Hearing Lynn mention another version of herself, Natashawas silent for a few seconds and then said, "I used to be very grateful to Mr. Kang, the Thinker. He destroyed the Red Room and saved me, preventing my uterus from being removed."
"So, over the years, I've done many things by his side."
"If that's the case, why do you want to betray him?"
"Because I gradually realized that he doesn't actually care about this World. Whether he conquered this World or repeatedly repelled aliens to protect the Earth, it all seems to be just a game for him!"
Facing Lynn's question, Natasha continued, "Games always get boring eventually. When that day comes, the Earth will inevitably be abandoned, or even destroyed, like other Universes by him!"
"I don't want to see the Earth destroyed by him. Moreover, I once overheard him say that once this Earth is completely conquered, he will embark on a new journey!"
At this point, Natasha turned to look at Lynn, "At first, I always thought he hadn't completely dominated the Earth because of the existence of those rebels, so I've been secretly helping them all these years."
"But it wasn't until you suddenly appeared, until I saw the excitement in Mr. Kang, the Thinker's eyes when he heard news of you, that I realized he was referring to you!"
Natasha redirected her gaze to the road and suddenly said, "Are you sure these suppression ropes can't bind you?"
"What do you think?"
"Alright, I hope you're as formidable as you say!"
With that said, Natasha deactivated the shield and then drove the car towards Mr. Kang, the Thinker's location!
Twenty minutes later, inside the City Hall.
When Natasha brought Lynn to Mr. Kang, the Thinker's office, Mr. Kang, the Thinker immediately stood up from his chair the moment he saw Lynn.
"Haha, we finally meet, Lynn Hall. Do you know? On this timeline, I've imagined our meeting countless times."
"But now that it's actually happening, I find that I still can't suppress the excitement in my heart."
"After all, as the only person in countless parallel Universes who could expose my schemes and force me to change the timeline, I really want to talk to you!"
Looking at Mr. Kang, the Thinker, whose face was filled with excitement, Lynn took a step forward and said, "If you really want to talk to me, then show some sincerity."
"What's the meaning of putting a puppet in front of me?"
Hearing Lynn say this, the Mr. Kang, the Thinker in front of him paused, and even Natasha, who was beside him, was a little surprised.
A moment later, the Mr. Kang, the Thinker in front of him spoke, "I didn't expect you to find out. Actually, I really want to talk to you face-to-face, but unfortunately, my true body is not on this timeline at the moment, so I can only create a puppet to converse with you!"
Saying that, the puppet Kang made an inviting gesture to Lynn, "Let me show you how interesting the timelines I've altered over the years are!"
Taking Lynn into the elevator, and pressing the button for the basement floor, the elevator began to descend.
As the elevator doors opened, the first thing that came into view was Captain America Steve Rogers in a block of ice.
"According to the original timeline, Captain Americashould have been rescued by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but I went back in time and, after Captain America was frozen, I directly brought him back as a trophy!"
Listening to the puppet Kang's smug words, Natasha, who was beside them, gave Lynn a look that meant 'don't be impulsive'.
They arrived at the technology room, where Thor's Mjolnir was suspended in a pink bubble above the room.
"I put in a lot of effort to capture Thor alive. Fortunately, I had help from the people in the Technology Department. Oh, you know the people in the Technology Department too."
Chapter 140 Tony: See you in our original timeline
As soon as the words fell, the guy in the white researcher's uniform in front turned around.
"Hey, Mr. Kang, long time no see! The armor improvement you mentioned is almost up to par. In half a month at most, once the armor is manufactured, those rebels will no longer be able to overthrow your rule!"
Listening to Tony's excited tone, Puppet Kang looked at Lynn and said, "I saved him when he went to the Middle East to showcase weapons, so he no longer needs the Arc Reactor in his chest to survive."
"To show his gratitude, he started working for me from that day on. I have to say, Tony Stark is indeed one of the smartest people of this era."
"It's a pity, he's just a little bit worse than me!"
Just as he was speaking, a person in a green protective suit walked over.
"Mr. Kang, the process of artificially creating the Hulkmight need to wait a bit longer. Some data regarding gamma rays still requires more experiments!"
Hearing Dr. Banner's words from inside the green protective suit, Puppet Kang nodded, then said to Lynn, "He was supposed to turn into the Hulk from gamma rays in that experiment, but I used technology to block the gamma energy for him."
"So there will be no more Hulk in this World!"
With that, Puppet Kang took Lynn to visit the Currentstatus of many Illuminati and Avengers members.
Some were turned into his subordinates by Puppet Kang, while others were imprisoned in the Cube Prison.
After visiting all of this, Puppet Kang finally spoke, "You've seen it. This World is now under my control. Although there are still a few small bugs unwilling to submit to me, that's just a minor nuisance."
"Lynn, if you are willing to submit to me now, like Tony Stark and Natasha, then you will become the person with the highest power and status in this World besides me. What do you say?"
Listening to Puppet Kang's words, Lynn chuckled lightly: "It's truly a reason that makes it impossible to refuse, but unfortunately, someone who doesn't even dare to show their true body in front of me, is he worthy of me submitting?"
Seeing Lynn refuse without hesitation, Puppet Kang wasn't angry, but instead smiled at Lynn and said, "I believe that people accustomed to freedom cannot bear the pain of losing freedom!"
"Perhaps, it won't be long before you change your mind!"
With that, Puppet Kang waved his hand, signaling Natasha to send Lynn to the cell.
Following Natasha into the three-meter-high Cube Prison, the moment he entered this prison, Natashawhispered in his ear, "Wait a little longer, I'm not your only ally. Tony and the others are about to succeed!"
Lynn nodded imperceptibly and walked into the transparent prison.
At the same time, inside the Cube Prison!
"Phew, I thought you would come earlier!"
Looking at Clint Barton in front of him, Stephen Strangewalked out of the cell.
When he saw Wanda and Gwen, who had rescued the others, Strange's eyes were filled with uncontrollable surprise.
"I've finally waited for you!"
Hearing Strange say this, Wanda curiously asked, "You knew we would appear on this timeline?"
"Of course, this is what I saw before the Time Stone was taken from me!"
Seeing that the others were also rescued, Thorimmediately said, "Strange, since you keep saying the person you've been waiting for has arrived, then let's counterattack Kang the Wise now."
"It's not time yet!"
Seeing Thor looking impatient to fight Kang again, Stephen Strange said, "Let's leave here first."
With that, Strange took the Sling Ring from Barton's hand and then opened a portal.
Inside Kang's Base.
Coming to Tony's side in a protective suit, Dr. Bannerlooked at the table full of armor blueprints and said, "The armor for Mr. Kang's research..."
"He's not paying attention here, and I have a scrambler around me, so no one can eavesdrop!"
"Alright, the savior Stephen Strange spoke of has been seen. How's your deciphering of the time machine coming along?"
Facing Dr. Banner's inquiry, Tony casually gathered the blueprints on the table. Under the light, those blueprints, which were originally parts of the armor, surprisingly assembled into a time machine.
"In three days at most, I'll be able to pinpoint the timeline of Kang the Wise's first appearance. Only by going to the timeline of his first appearance and eliminating him can his evil rule be ended, and everything in this World will return to normal."
As he spoke, Tony subconsciously touched his chest: "Strange said that according to the original timeline, I'm still relying on the Arc Reactor to survive. I don't know if that me can bear it!"
"It should be fine, after all, you are Tony Stark!"
Patting Tony's shoulder, Dr. Banner smiled and said, "Although after all this ends, I will also turn into a monster, at least I believe everything I've done is correct!"
At this point, Dr. Banner was silent for a few seconds: "However, can the savior restrained by the suppression rope really defeat Kang the Wise?"
"Who knows? I don't want to pin my hopes on others either, but we have no other choice now, we can only take a gamble!"
"Hopefully, that trickster didn't deceive us!"
Three days later, the research department.
Looking at the formed time machine in front of them, Tony Stark and Dr. Banner exchanged glances.
"Are you ready, Bruce? It's finally our turn to make an appearance!"
Looking at Tony's resolute eyes, Dr. Banner took a deep breath, then took off his protective suit: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
As the protective suit came off, the next moment, the Hulk's roar emanated from Dr. Banner's body.
Seeing this, Tony Stark pressed the control panel in front of him without hesitation.
Inside the control room.
Watching the red light on her wrist illuminate, Natashapulled out her pistol without hesitation and shot the security personnel dead amidst their terrified gazes.
After doing all this, Natasha pushed the control lever in front of her, then pressed her earpiece and said, "Clint, it's your turn!"
Outside the City Hall.
Hearing Natasha's voice through the earpiece, Bartondrew his bow and aimed at the heavily secured City Hall, then an arrow sliced through the air and embedded itself at the feet of a security guard.
Just as the group of security guards were looking around with their guns, the arrow instantly released a large amount of Current, stunning them.
"Defenders, attack!"
As the words fell, Strange led everyone directly into the City Hall.
Inside Puppet Kang's office.
Hearing the piercing alarm sound, Puppet Kang instantly stood up from his chair.
He opened the holographic projection monitor and found that Strange was leading the group of Defenders rushing in from outside.
"Damn it, weren't these guys locked in prison? Why did they escape without anyone reporting to me?"
Pressing the communication device on his arm, Puppet Kang directly said, "Natasha, how are you managing the Cube Prison? These damned rebels actually..."
Inside the control room.
Constantly opening the sealed doors to let Strange and the others in, Natasha shrugged when she heard Puppet Kang's questioning tone: "I deliberately let them out!"
"FUXX!"
Hearing Natasha's words, Puppet Kang pressed a button on his arm, and the next second, the floor beneath his feet cracked open, forming a secret passage!
He entered the secret passage without hesitation, and by the time Strange and the others rushed in, Puppet Kang had already disappeared!
"Enter the secret passage and take the second fork from the right. The other forks are full of danger!"
Inside the monitoring room, watching everything happening on the screen, Natasha immediately reported to Strange and the others.
Following Natasha's guidance, Strange and the others quickly pursued, and after passing through the secret passage and arriving at an area the size of a football field, Puppet Kang had already been waiting there for a long time!
"I really didn't expect Natasha Romanoff to betray me, but do you think I wouldn't have any preparations?"
As he spoke, the floor in the arena opened up, and then thousands of super-powered individuals surrounded Strange and the others.
Seeing this army of super-powered individuals, everyone's expressions became solemn.
"From the first day I ruled this timeline, I made this preparation, because I knew that people like you would never choose to submit to me!"
Spreading his arms and slowly rising, Puppet Kang looked at everyone like a judge: "I named this place the Superheroes' Tomb, it's specially for you..."
Before Puppet Kang could finish speaking, Tony Stark's voice suddenly rang out in the arena: "That's right, this is indeed a tomb, but it's prepared for you!"
As the words fell, drones dropped from the ceiling dozens of meters high, and then countless restraint ropes bound these superhuman legions!
"Tony Stark!!!"
Seeing Tony Stark betray him, and even use the restraint ropes he created to bind his superhuman legion, Puppet Kang instantly became furious.
"Don't forget, I saved you. If it weren't for me, you'd still be relying on an Arc Reactor to barely survive," Puppet Kang roared.
Before Puppet Kang could finish speaking, Lynn Hallsuddenly appeared and kicked him heavily, sending him flying.
"Bang!"
Puppet Kang, flying backward, crashed heavily into the wall, becoming embedded in it.
Struggling to break free from the wall, Puppet Kang looked at Lynn with a sinister gaze, about to speak, but the next second Lynn instantly appeared beside him.
Lynn grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted him, saying, "It seems you only have Kang the Wise's memories, but not his abilities!"
"Crack!"
Without hesitation, Lynn ripped off Puppet Kang's head, watching the mechanical body sparking and falling to the ground.
Lynn turned to Tony Stark, who was flying over in his armor, and asked, "Have you tracked down where Kang the Wise is?"
"Of course, otherwise, what do you think Bruce and I have been doing all these years?"
As Puppet Kang was easily slain by Lynn, the artificial superhuman legion, bound by the restraint ropes, fell lifelessly.
"So, even if a synthetic human is powerful, it can't compare to a real human. Once the main body dies, these sub-bodies lose their life!"
As he spoke, Tony Stark walked up to Lynn.
Handing the palm-sized Time Machine to Lynn, Tony Stark said, "For years, I've been using the technology provided by Puppet Kang to search for Kang the Wise's whereabouts."
"But later I found that Kang the Wise always enters various time nodes to change what happened in the original timeline, so killing Kang the Wise at any single time node is useless!"
"You mean I need to go to every time node he's been to and kill him to completely restore the timeline?"
"More or less, because even if Kang the Wise dies in the first altered timeline, other time branches changed by Kang the Wise won't disappear; instead, more time branches will be born. It's like a time paradox, very complicated to explain!"
As he spoke, Stephen Strange and the others walked over: "But you don't need to worry about that. You just need to go to the time node where Kang the Wise first appeared, defeat him, and then kill him!"
"As for the other timeline repairs, we'll handle them!"
At this point, Stephen Strange spread his hands: "It's a pity the Time Variance Authority of this Universe is gone, otherwise they would have pruned the excess time branches!"
Taking the Time Machine from Tony's hand, Lynn glanced at the red dot displayed on the Time Machine: "Alright, I'll go kill that Kang the Wise now. As for the other timelines, I'll leave them to you!"
Watching Lynn open a portal with the Time Machine, Tony Stark shrugged: "See you in our original, true timeline!"
1946, North Pole.
Watching the machine's drill bore down into the thick ice, Kang the Wise turned to Lynn Hall, who had suddenly appeared behind him, and said, "I didn't expect our first true meeting to be here. It seems the puppet I created has been eliminated by you!"
"Do you know? Steve Rogers, whom Howard Stark and Peggy Carter have been desperately searching for, is currently frozen beneath my feet. If I..."
Before Kang the Wise could finish speaking, Lynn's Heat Vision from his eyes directly shattered the machine.
"Boom!"
Exploding fragments of the machine splattered towards Kang the Wise, but they bounced off his energy shield and were flung away.
Seeing Lynn destroy his machine without a word, Kang the Wise didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and spread his hands, saying, "Do you know? I've seen the anchor points of many Universes, such as that incessantly talkative Deadpool, the most pathetic Wolverine, and Peter Parker, forgotten by the whole World."
"After these people died, their respective Universes turned into brilliant fireworks. So Lynn, you'd best choose to surrender to me, otherwise, once you die, then this Universe..."
Before Kang the Wise could finish speaking, Lynnteleported beside him, and a furious surge of lightning energy in his hand directly attacked Kang the Wise.
"Rumble!"
The immense lightning energy struck Kang the Wise's energy shield, erupting in a sky-shattering explosion. The surrounding glaciers began to rumble and collapse.
Countless ice chunks, like an avalanche, smashed down towards the two, and thick ice cracks spread for tens of kilometers.
"You can't break through my energy shield!"
Looking at his slightly trembling energy shield, Kang the Wise looked at Lynn and said, "Kang the Conqueror being overwhelmed by a group of ants has already disgraced all Kang variants. Do you think we wouldn't learn our lesson?"
"Besides, Captain America is buried here. If your movements deform, you'll be discovered, thus reviving him prematurely, and then the timeline..."
Before Kang the Wise could finish, the area around them was instantly enveloped by portals.
Seeing these portals, Kang the Wise's expression changed: "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing, just changing the battlefield!"
As the words fell, the portals directly enveloped the two, and the next second, they were transported to a location seventy million years ago!
As the two were transported away, two figures suddenly appeared there.
"Can you restore this place by yourself?"
Looking at Mund, Dr. Doom, wearing a mask, asked.
"Of course!"
Seeing Mund's serious expression, Dr. Doom nodded, then entered another portal Lynn had just left behind!
Seventy million years ago, in a primeval forest on an island.
Looking at a large group of dinosaurs not far away, Kang the Wise said to Lynn, "You don't think that by using the Time Machine to transport us seventy million years back, my technological equipment will become ineffective, do you?"
"Of course not, but here we can have a good fight!"
After speaking, Lynn turned to look to his right: "Still not coming out?"
As the words fell, Victor Von Doom, wearing a green cape, walked out of a portal.
The moment Victor Von Doom appeared, Kang the Wise's expression finally changed slightly.
"Victor Von Doom? You..."
"Enough talk!"
Before Kang the Wise could finish, Lynn's Heat Visionwent straight for Kang the Wise, attacking him.
Seeing Lynn make a move, Victor Von Doom immediately unleashed magic energy to attack Kang the Wise.
When both their energy attacks struck Kang the Wise's energy shield, the previously indestructible energy shield instantly began to waver.
Yet, even so, the energy shield remained intact, even absorbing the energy released by the two to strengthen the shield's energy!
Seeing this, Victor Von Doom frowned: "Lynn, his energy shield can absorb the energy we release, so unless the energy shield reaches saturation and self-destructs, we can't harm him!"
As he spoke, Victor Von Doom's chest technology emitted a powerful laser energy.
Seeing this, Lynn raised his hands, and two beams of lightning energy also attacked the energy shield.
As the four beams of energy continuously attacked, dazzling light instantly illuminated the area around the three of them.
Countless birds flapped their wings, flying into the sky in terror, while the surrounding hunting dinosaurs howled and ran wildly.
But as the dazzling light continued to spread, all plants and animals instantly turned to ash.
"Rumble!"
A World-shattering explosion destroyed the entire island, and the once calm sea instantly churned up giant waves hundreds of feet high.
At the center of the energy explosion, the energy shield in front of Kang the Wise was now covered in layers of cracks. The next second, Lynn teleported in front of him and smashed a heavy punch directly onto the shield.
