Ch: 455-462
Chapter 455 Little Spider's Request for Help
"I have no objections," Dr. Strange immediately said.
But in the b2 Universe, Iron Man shouted in dissatisfaction, "I refuse! Even if the Stones are in your hands, we should still have voting rights, right?!"
"I refuse to let that kid use the Infinity Gauntlet!"
"He's a playboy; who knows, one snap could go wrong and destroy the Earth!"
Tony found it unbelievable: "Excuse me, what are you saying, old man? Aren't you also a playboy?"
"Do you know that according to the original history, you would snap your fingers and sacrifice yourself? I'm suffering for you here!"
The two Tonys suddenly started arguing.
The discussion revolved around whether young people or old people were more reliable.
Gradually, they even began to compare the research levels of their respective armors.
Finally, Iron Man was defeated by Tony with the line, 'I can instantly fix your armor with magic.'
The Avengers from the s Universe and the b2 Universe were all rolling their eyes in exasperation.
"Why can Tony argue with another version of himself?" Banner's soul wondered aloud.
"Hulk doesn't know," Hulk said, stepping on Dr. Green and shaking his head innocently.
Dr. Strange also shook his head at this point: "Then we'll have to find someone else to use the Gauntlet, perhaps… what's that?"
He suddenly looked up at the sky.
Diana and Kara looked over at the same time.
"Someone's coming," Kara said. "Wearing a red and blue suit, with a five-pointed star emblem on the chest, and colorful energy surging all over her body."
"It's Captain Marvel!"
Little Spider exclaimed.
"I remember in Endgame, Captain Marvel returned at a crucial moment and destroyed Thanos's fleet! That must be her!"
Kara nodded upon hearing this: "So she's also from this Universe, right?"
In the blink of an eye, Captain Marvel swooped down from outside the atmosphere to stand before everyone.
She was enveloped in photon energy.
Even her hair tips seemed to float up and down like they were in Water, revealing a well-defined, square face.
"What happened here? I received your distress signal and rushed back."
Her gaze swept over the people from the Main Universe.
"Wait, are you Skrulls? Why have you transformed into…?"
"Carol, they're from another Universe and stole the Infinity Stones! Stop them quickly!" Captain America from the b2 Universe shouted at this moment.
"Infinity Stones?" Captain Marvel frowned slightly.
She quickly locked onto the red Iron Gauntlet held by Diana.
"It seems you're not friendly. So, will you hand them over yourselves, or shall I take them personally?"
Carol floated in the air, her right palm open, exuding an air of having the situation completely under control.
"Sorry, we can't give you the Stones," Dr. Strange said, shaking his hands and casting the Rings of Raggadorr.
The others from the Main Universe also took out their weapons, entering combat stance.
They all knew what a powerful Superhero Captain Marvel was.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was the strongest on Earth.
Facing such an opponent, they had to be one hundred percent focused.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense and oppressive.
Like a pressure cooker under heat, it could explode at any moment.
Compared to their tension, Captain Marvel was much more relaxed and natural.
"Resistance isn't a good idea," Carol said, twisting her wrist in the air.
"Just a friendly reminder, you'd best book the best hospital rooms in advance."
Upon hearing this, the Avengers from the s Universe looked a bit strange.
They couldn't really grasp how strong Captain Marvel was.
After all, according to video footage from a few years ago.
Every time this Carol fought Superman, she was completely helpless.
In the crowd, Diana and Kara exchanged glances, a silent agreement passing between them that Kara would act this time.
In the air, Captain Marvel's photon energy erupted.
She charged towards the group, her might comparable to a strategic missile.
The scattered colorful energy even distorted space.
The Superheroes of the Main Universe faced her as a formidable enemy, with Dr. Strange immediately raising a massive Seraphim Shield.
But another figure in the crowd moved against the flow at this moment.
She burst through the magic shield's protection, accompanied by a tremendous sonic boom, and kicked Captain Marvel in the abdomen.
Bang!
The sound of a heavy physical impact mixed with the breaking of the sound barrier, exploding.
Everyone felt a flash before their eyes and a roar in their ears.
Captain Marvel was sent flying backward.
And the blonde girl who met her attack.
Floated calmly in place.
As if completely unaffected.
"You guys continue your discussion, I'll go deal with her," Kara said coolly.
She broke the sound barrier again, rushing towards Captain Marvel with a shockwave of air.
Everyone except the s Universe Avengers was dumbfounded.
The two of them fought, soaring from the ground into the clouds.
Rumbling collision sounds echoed continuously, each time like a missile exploding in the air.
Their battle was already affecting the weather.
At times, Heat Vision sliced through the sea of clouds, and at times, colorful photon energy tore through the sky.
It was as if two gods were fighting.
"Wait, that girl's uniform just now, wasn't it Superman's?" Ant-Man murmured. "Are comic fans this strong now?"
Ant-Man's quip seemed to break the seal on the tense atmosphere.
The Superheroes of the Main Universe all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Incredible, we actually have such a powerful person on our side too."
"I thought I was going to get beaten up by Carol. She's my idol, how could I lay a hand on her?"
Abomination and Ms. Marvel sighed.
"Well then, we should take this opportunity to quickly return to the Earth on the other side, so Carol can't immediately stop us," Dr. Strange said, seizing the moment.
Diana shook her head: "No need for all that trouble. I trust Kara."
"And… since none of you have a suitable candidate to use these Stones."
"How about I do it?"
Diana blinked her long eyelashes.
Without waiting for anyone else's answer, she flipped the Gauntlet over, preparing to put it on.
"Please wait a moment!" Little Spider suddenly spoke up.
Everyone looked over; he was holding an orange tablet computer, his face full of conflict.
"Spider-Man, do you have any other better ideas?" Diana temporarily lowered her hand.
"I…" Little Spider hesitated.
But finally, he gritted his teeth and said with great determination: "I have a better candidate."
"He's also from another World, neutral in attitude, and has very strong regenerative abilities!"
Holland-Spider had completely given up, his expression beneath the mask one of heroic sacrifice.
"I'll go find him! No one is more suitable to use the Infinity Stones than him!"
With that, Holland-Spider manipulated the tablet, opened an orange time-space portal, and stepped inside.
"Regenerative ability is indeed very suitable for using the Infinity Stones, which have strong backlash," Diana said, looking at Tony. "Who is he talking about?"
Tony was also recalling: "It should be one of his TVA colleagues, but Peter's nervous look… Wait, no way."
Tony suddenly remembered a certain pervert in a red tight suit.
If Peter was going to find that guy…
"That's too much of a sacrifice," Tony muttered.
"If it were me, compared to finding that guy, I'd rather go straight to hell."
Chapter 456 Deadpool's Finger Snap
Little Spider didn't make everyone wait too long.
The orange portal only closed for a few seconds before opening again.
Holland-Spider walked out of it.
However, compared to the look of generous sacrifice on his face when he left,
at this moment, he had his lips tightly pressed together, clutching his mask in his hand, and there was a wet kiss mark on his face; he had even forgotten to hide his identity.
Tony didn't have time to go up and ask a few questions.
A pervert, holding a puppy and wearing a red bodysuit, followed Holland-Spider out of the portal.
"Hello everyone, Peter said I needed to snap my fingers here, and Thor would cry while holding me, so I came... Oh my god!"
The pervert suddenly shrieked.
He forcefully kissed the ugly puppy in his arms through his mask.
Then, very excitedly, he pointed at everyone in the arena.
"What's going on? Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Dr. Strange... Is this the Avengers Civil War now?"
"Am I Peter's backup? I knew it, I effing knew it!"
The pervert clenched his fist and waved it forcefully: "The day Happy mercilessly rejected me while wearing his cum-filled underwear, I knew it!"
"Deadpool will eventually become an Avenger!!"
"Wait a minute..."
He suddenly paused again.
He stared blankly at Diana, dramatically covering his mouth with his right hand.
"That dark gold tiara, those wild armbands, and that tension-filled battle skirt! Are you Wonder Woman, Diana Prince?"
"God's donuts, after Marvel found Superman to be my sidekick, they actually found Wonder Woman again?"
Deadpool shrieked, covering his face.
"I can't take it, I can't take it! Disney's golden dick has already filled my throat, making me unable to breathe."
Deadpool's perversion was still as inappropriate as ever.
Everyone present couldn't help but take a step back.
Then they looked at Holland-Spider with questioning eyes.
"Uh, everyone, don't misunderstand, Deadpool, he..." Holland-Spider's face was as ugly as if he had eaten cockroach feces.
"Don't look at him like he's very perverted, but he... uh, he is indeed perverted, but he is also indeed suitable for using the Infinity Stones!"
Diana raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Holland-Spider patted his chest, "I can vouch for him!"
Deadpool, besides when he's unreliable, is still reliable at other times.
As for how long his unreliable times last,
Holland-Spider himself didn't know.
But in the past few years, his collaborations with Deadpool, aside from the constant risk of Waterloo during missions, usually ended well.
Diana didn't know if Little Spider's words were credible and could only look at Tony and Jarvis.
After both of them nodded slightly,
Diana tossed the Iron Gauntlet, which held the Stones, to Little Spider.
Holland-Spider caught it and then handed the gauntlet to Deadpool.
"Wade, as we agreed before, you use the Infinity Stones to save our World, the specific method..."
"No! We can't give the Stones to this person!"
Dr. Strange suddenly opened a portal in front of Little Spider and reached out to grab the gauntlet.
But Deadpool was a step faster than him.
The guy reached out, slipped it on, then did a backflip, directly putting the gauntlet on his right hand.
He bent down, kissed Deadpool Dog with a MUA sound, and then placed the puppy on the ground.
"Guys, relax, I already know the situation now!"
"Endgame, this is Endgame! Oh my god, this time I'm going to snap the fingers instead of Iron Man!"
Deadpool squeezed his legs together and wriggled his body like a worm.
"Thor!" He suddenly pointed at the bound Thor.
"Wait, why are you tied up?"
"Never mind, it's not important for now, you have to remember everything I've sacrificed, because this will be the thickest, whitest snap I've ever made!"
"And Iron Man!"
Deadpool gave a thumbs up with his left hand, "Why are there two Iron Men? Never mind, that's not important either, Tony! I love you three thousand!"
"Now I'm an Avenger too, guys!"
"Captain!" Deadpool finally looked at Captain America.
But he found there were actually three Captains present, and he vaguely felt something was wrong.
However, no one could stop him from snapping his fingers at this moment.
Not even himself.
It was like ejaculating; who could hold it in at the last second?
Deadpool raised his right hand to his chest, shouting, "Avengers, assemble!"
Then he brought his thumb and middle finger together, saying, word by word:
"I, am, Deadpool!"
Snap!
Under everyone's stunned and confused gazes,
Deadpool made a crisp, loud snap.
The dark clouds in the sky, torn apart by Kara and Captain Marvel's battle, slowly dispersed at this moment.
The orange-red light of the setting sun shone on Deadpool.
The setting sun was like blood, and Deadpool fell to his knees with a thud, then slowly collapsed.
He was charred all over; when he snapped his fingers, he had no protection on his body except for the Iron Gauntlet, and now he was exhaling more than inhaling, on the verge of death.
There was silence on the scene, only the sound of the wind blowing everyone's clothes high.
Everyone stared blankly at Deadpool, still not reacting.
If one ignored the confusion in their eyes,
then at this moment, it was quite a tragic scene of a hero going to his death.
"Beep beep, beep beep!" Suddenly, b2 Universe Hawkeye's phone, placed at his waist, rang.
The buzzing vibration sound was exceptionally clear at this moment.
Main Universe Hawkeye's heart stirred, and he stepped forward to help take it out; he looked down and saw his wife's call displayed on the screen.
He pressed answer and put the phone to the other Hawkeye's ear.
After b2 Hawkeye briefly exchanged a few words with his wife on the other end, tears slid down the corners of his eyes.
He looked at the others, his lips trembling, and said, "That Deadpool, he snapped his fingers and brought the other half of the people back."
"Huh?" Question marks appeared above the heads of the Main Universe people.
"What?" The b2 Universe people were also full of questions.
They all looked at Deadpool, who was lying on the ground, gradually losing his life.
Then they looked at Little Spider, who was covering his face with an unreadable expression.
What exactly was going on?
Everyone felt like a herd of alpacas running and howling in their minds.
They were all in disarray.
"He... he's not dead, is he? The person Spider-Man found, sacrificed to save the lives in our Universe?" b2 Universe Ant-Man stammered.
His words reminded Little Spider.
Holland-Spider had originally felt screwed, but then suddenly realized Deadpool wasn't moving.
Anxiety arose in his heart.
He rushed forward.
"Hey, Deadpool, what's wrong, Deadpool, Deadpool? Wade!"
Holland-Spider shook Deadpool, "Wait, could it be that the backlash of the Infinity Stones is too strong, even Wade's regeneration ability can't resist it?"
"Wade! Wade! Damn it, we have to take him to the hospital!"
Holland-Spider hooked his hands around Deadpool's neck and behind his knees, picking him up.
However, at this moment, Deadpool secretly placed his hand on Holland-Spider's chest and leaned his head against him.
He whispered, "Peter, my Peter, although this is very touching, isn't this the part where Thor cries while holding me? Where is Thor, why isn't he crying yet?"
Deadpool still remembered the scene he saw in the TVA, of Thor crying while holding him.
"Fuck you!" Holland-Spider's face immediately changed, and he threw Deadpool out of his arms.
Chapter 457 Deadpool: I am Marvel Jesus
"What? Fuck me?"
"So Peter, you're very grateful to me now and want to do something with me!?"
Deadpool rolled on the ground, then lay down, propping his face with his hand in a seductive pose.
"Damn it… should I let Thor cry on me, or do something fun with Peter? It's so hard to choose!"
He gave Little Spider a blown kiss with two fingers pressed together, "Can I choose both? As a reward for being Marvel's savior?"
Holland-Spider's hairs stood on end.
His Peter didn't react to the jolt.
But he felt an agonizing restlessness, and nausea.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!!"
Little Spider shot out a white, sticky web, binding Deadpool from head to toe.
"Whoa, bondage play! I like this… Mmm mmm!" Deadpool's mouth was finally sealed.
A few minutes later.
Deadpool wriggled on the ground, listening to Holland-Spider's explanation of the UniverseCollision.
The people of b2 Universe finally understood the whole story.
"Why didn't you explain it clearly from the beginning?" b2 Iron Man found it incredible.
s Universe Tony spread his hands: "Is there a need? Now that it's explained, will you agree to let our people use the Infinity Stones?"
Iron Man closed his mouth and said nothing more.
In the case of a Universe Collision.
Both sides were essentially in a zero-sum game.
If the Infinity Stones didn't work.
Then the simplest solution would be to destroy the other's Universe.
Neither side could possibly trust the other with the Stones.
"See, you think exactly like me, because we're both Iron Man, and we both want Morgan, who tells us 'I love you three thousand,' to grow up happy."
As Tony spoke, he suddenly felt a bit nauseous.
Because he remembered Deadpool had just said "I love you three thousand" to him too.
Iron Man felt the same way.
Both Tonys simultaneously showed expressions of disgust.
"That damn Deadpool, Peter, help me kick him!"
"Okay!"
Bang!
"Mmm mmm! Mmm~~"
Unbearable to watch, truly unbearable to watch.
Everyone silently averted their gaze, not looking at Deadpool whimpering and rolling on the ground, fearing their eyes would be polluted.
"Shit…" Tony's peripheral Vision caught a glimpse, and he quickly turned his head, no longer looking.
"This tight-suited pervert on the ground is neutral, and he has healing abilities, so you have no objection to him using the Infinity Stones, right?" Tony said.
The people of b2 Universe looked at Deadpool, wanting to speak but holding back, as they had no better option.
In the end, all of them expressionlessly chose to acquiesce.
"Okay, Peter, you communicate with the tight-suited pervert again, we'll wait for you over there."
Tony patted Peter's shoulder and retreated with the others more than ten meters away.
Holland-Spider stood still, the area around him empty, suddenly wishing he could just die right now.
Just then.
Golden sparks flickered into existence in the air, rapidly expanding.
Dozens of massive Mystic Art of Portals slowly opened behind b2 Universe's Captain America.
"On your left." Falcon flew out of a portal and shouted.
Wakanda warriors, Asgardians, Kamar-Taj sorcerers…
After the other half of b2 Earth's forces were resurrected.
Under the coordination of their Doctor Strange, they quickly assembled their armies and rushed to the battlefield.
"Thanos!!" Guardians of the Galaxy's Drax roared as he ran out.
b2 Universe's Doctor Strange also floated in from the air.
He was still thinking about that one-in-fourteen-million chance of victory.
However, when these people entered the battlefield, they were immediately dumbfounded.
"Where's Thanos? Wait, why are there so many Captain Americas and Iron Mans here?"
...
Ten minutes later.
"Remember! All you have to do is push the Universe away, try just using the Stones first, and if that doesn't work, then snap your fingers!"
Little Spider patiently and loudly instructed Deadpool.
By this time, the webbing on Deadpool had been peeled off.
He stood on a large rock, holding his right hand up in a very flamboyant manner, with his hands on his hips.
Within a ten-meter radius around him, there was no one.
Beyond ten meters, there were dense circles of people's heads.
This was Deadpool's request.
He said he wanted to stand on the highest point, like a savior, to save the World.
He also asked Little Spider to film him, saying he wanted to take it back to show Vanessa.
That's right, in the end, it was Deadpool who would resolve the Universe Collision.
On one hand, his healing ability was strong.
On the other hand, although he was a bit perverted, he had just saved the other half of b2 Universe upon his arrival.
No one else on the scene was more suitable to use the Infinity Stones than him.
At this moment, Deadpool stood on the giant rock, his right hand pointing to the sky.
"Today, Marvel's savior is going to have a good shot!"
The Stones on the gauntlet lit up one by one.
Colorful energy beams shot towards the Earth above in the sky, piercing the firmament.
And the suit on Deadpool's arm exploded inch by inch, revealing an arm full of purplish-black burn scars.
Those scars continuously spread towards Deadpool's body.
And the beam of light, reaching into the clouds, struck the dimension where the Main UniverseEarth was located.
"Oh ho! This is definitely the furthest I've ever shot!"
Deadpool seemed to feel no pain, still shouting loudly and wantonly.
Like a biker gang member riding a motorcycle, twisting the throttle, and laughing wildly into the wind.
At this moment, no one was paying attention to how perverted Deadpool was anymore.
They were either watching directly or monitoring with instruments, all keeping a close eye on the Main Universe Earth.
After those energies shot out by Deadpool hit the Earth's dimension.
All the indices on the instruments began to jump wildly.
Main Universe Doctor Strange opened his third eye on his forehead, staring intently at the Earth.
"No!" He immediately came to a conclusion, "The energy impact from the Stones alone isn't enough to push the Earth!"
Jarvis also gave his assessment: "It appears to be pushing the Earth, but in reality, it needs to push the entire Universe, and that energy is not enough."
"Deadpool, use the snap!" Doctor Strange shouted loudly.
Hearing Doctor Strange's shout.
Deadpool, who was still showing off, immediately stopped, howling as he flung off the Iron Gauntlet, then huffing and puffing as he blew on his right hand.
"Oh no! My dear, you need to get better quickly, how will I spend my lonely nights without you later."
Deadpool lovingly hugged his right hand.
His palm was already bloody and charred, with purplish-black burns extending all the way to his chest.
However, after he flung off the gauntlet, these fatal injuries all rapidly healed.
In just a few breaths.
The deep bone burns on Deadpool's arm healed, and the wounds scabbed over and fell off.
"Fantastic! My happy life is back!"
Deadpool picked up the gauntlet again and shoved his right hand into the already tattered Iron Gauntlet.
"Oh, disposable condoms really aren't great quality, but I can go for one more round!"
He raised his right hand again, then shouted to the crowd: "Peter! Delete the last one, let's do it again!"
Peter Parker, holding the camera, made an OK gesture and said nothing.
"Awesome! Everyone look at me, one last time, I am, Marvel Jesus!"
Snap!
Under everyone's tense gaze.
Deadpool snapped his fingers, and an invisible Cosmic level energy erupted from the Earth as its source.
Unlike Thanos erasing half the population, and Deadpool saving half the population earlier, which were subtle and silent.
This time, everyone felt as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in front of them.
Intense white light filled everyone's Vision.
After the panic subsided and the white light dissipated, everyone opened their eyes.
The giant rock in the center of the crowd was still there.
But Deadpool had turned into a pile of charred bones, with a layer of black carbon covering the skeleton, looking utterly dead.
And the Iron Gauntlet used to hold the Stones had directly turned into a handful of black ash.
Six Stones lay on the black ash, beneath which was the carbonized ash of Deadpool's right hand bones.
"Is he, is he dead? He sacrificed himself to save two Universes?"
b2 Universe's high school student Peter felt incredibly sad.
Everyone at this moment felt desolation and sorrow, and reverence for Deadpool arose spontaneously.
Main Universe's Holland-Spider also looked at the pile of bones in disbelief.
In the Endgame.
Even Iron Man, a mere mortal, after snapping his fingers and dying from severe injuries, still had a complete body.
Why would Deadpool be directly backlashed to the point of only bones remaining?
With this level of injury, no one could possibly survive.
Holland-Spider's eyes suddenly reddened.
His lips trembled: "Deadpool, Wade, he, he…"
"He's still alive." A voice suddenly appeared.
The surrounding gazes turned, it was Jarvis, but everyone took him for Vision.
Jarvis looked at Deadpool, data streams seemingly flashing in his eyes.
"Mr. Deadpool's skeleton has residual muscle tissue growing, and his brain is also recovering."
"Although it's somewhat incredible, based on his healing speed, he should recover to his original state in about a few days."
Jarvis exclaimed.
Because Deadpool's healing truly defied all scientific logic.
Never mind the laws of energy and matter conservation, even the brain, a tissue that cannot regenerate, was growing back.
Jarvis could only sigh that indeed, the longer one lives, the more one sees.
Upon learning that Deadpool was still alive.
Every single person present was dumbfounded.
"If we take Deadpool to the Land of Nihility, just selling his meat should be enough to save up for a new spaceship." Rocket Raccoon said, stroking his beard.
"I am Groot!" Groot expressed his objection.
"Alright, I know, I was just saying, you can regenerate too, have I ever sold you?" Rocket Raccooncomforted him again.
Over on the s Universe side.
Tony also found it unexpected.
"It's good that he's not dead… No, it seems neither dead nor alive is quite right for Deadpool."
Tony rubbed his forehead.
He felt that it would be better if something like Deadpool were dead, but then he also felt that a hero like Deadpool shouldn't die.
"Never mind, let's check on the Universe Collision, did he succeed?"
Tony looked up, originally thinking the collision was over.
However, the Main Universe Earth still hung above everyone's heads.
It was just much further away.
If before it was like constantly having a continent on one's head.
Now it was like having a dinner plate on one's head.
"The distance between the two Universes has increased slightly, but they are still slowly approaching."
Main Universe Doctor Strange said with a grim expression.
"He failed."
Chapter 458 Waiting for Leon
Chapter 458: Waiting for Leon
"He failed, but the Infinity Stones didn't."
Diana stepped forward, swung her Truth Lasso, and reeled in the six Stones.
"The Infinity Stones can indeed push Universes apart, so we just need to keep increasing the output to succeed."
Diana held the six Stones.
The power of the Stones immediately surged wildly into her body.
The violent energy made Diana frown slightly.
She looked at Tony: "I need a gauntlet."
"Alright, but we still can't be sure how much energy is needed to completely push a Universeaway, or what the cost will be."
Tony had already scanned the structure of that Iron Gauntlet.
He manipulated the nanobots and immediately forged a new one on the spot.
"You're right, but if we drag this out any longer, it'll be time for negotiations between the two Universes again."
Diana smiled, took the Iron Gauntlet, and embedded the Infinity Stones into the slots.
"Don't worry, I'm a true God."
Diana held the gauntlet in her left hand, placed her right hand on it, and the nanobots automatically opened.
But at this moment, another fair, slender arm reached over, pushed Diana aside, and slipped into the open gauntlet.
The next moment, the nanobots closed again, automatically adjusting their size to fit the pale pink palm.
"Kara?" Diana hadn't expected Kara to take the opportunity to put her hand in.
After the other half of the people in the b2 Universe were resurrected and warriors from various factions arrived on the battlefield.
Kara and Captain Marvel also temporarily ended their battle.
Captain Marvel was not Kara's opponent.
But Kara also failed to break through Captain Marvel's defense.
Even her maximum power Heat Vision could only leave faint red scorch marks on Captain Marvelin her Binary state.
So, until the battle ended.
Although Captain Marvel's aura was chaotic and her body covered in red marks, she wasn't seriously injured.
As for Kara, Kara's strength was very comprehensive.
So, from beginning to end, she remained as calm as still water.
"My body is stronger, I'll snap my fingers," Kara said calmly at this moment.
She looked at the gauntlet, wiggled her right hand, and the nanobots felt completely fluid.
"But… alright, but don't be too impulsive. If the backlash is too severe and leaves scars, be careful when Leon comes back and helps you train," Diana teased.
Kara, who had been expressionless, now showed a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.
But that curve vanished in an instant.
She returned to her impassive expression and said flatly, "Don't worry about me, there's sunlight here."
"And, I also have…"
Kara suddenly shot into the sky.
"Shazam!"
The clear voice of the young girl echoed, and a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking her body.
When the lightning dissipated.
Kara's Kryptonian battle suit transformed into a blue Shazam battle suit, with a dazzling lightning bolt symbol on her chest.
"What is she going to do? Wait, is she going to snap her fingers?"
Diana and Tony's actions were very fast.
The conversation between them only lasted a few seconds.
So much so that only now did the people of the Main Universe and the b2 Universe realize Kara's true intention.
And Iron Man and others, who had been staring at the Infinity Stones from the beginning and were flying over to stop her, also had to stop.
Kara raised her right hand in the air and gently snapped her fingers.
Snap!
Another blinding white light spread out.
But this time, it was also accompanied by a tangible Impact, making the people below stumble a few steps.
It even blew away much of Deadpool's ashes.
When everyone opened their eyes.
Kara fell from the sky, her curly hair fluttering in the sunset.
Diana flew up and caught her light body.
"Kara, are you alright?" Diana slowly descended.
Kara's usually cool face looked somewhat fragile at this moment.
Her right hand had fine, purplish-black blood marks.
But in the sunlight, those blood marks were gradually fading.
"I'm fine. The stamina boost from Shazam's divine power made my physique much stronger. Put me down and let me sunbathe for a while," Kara said, looking towards the sunset.
However, she instinctively shouted Shazam's name.
So a bolt of lightning struck.
Kara changed back into her Kryptonian battle suit.
Diana's hair was smoking, and she looked at her speechlessly.
"Next time you say that name, remember to find a secluded place, like before."
Diana released her hand, letting Kara land on her own.
And she, in turn, looked up at the sky again.
The Main Universe Earth, which had originally become the size of a dinner plate.
Now it had completely disappeared.
The Superheroes from the other two Universes also noticed this scene.
"It seems… it worked?"
"The other Earth is gone!"
"Dr.! Dr.! Are we out of danger?"
"I am Groot?"
Everyone discussed animatedly.
Doctor Strange from the Main Universe observed the Earth's dimension with his third eye.
After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The two Universes are no longer in contact, so it should be fine."
With Doctor Strange's definitive conclusion.
Everyone on the scene breathed a sigh of relief, their stress completely gone, either sitting down and smiling foolishly or grabbing someone nearby for a hug.
Iron Man from the b2 Universe also let go of his guard.
The situation he feared most ultimately didn't happen.
He looked at Tony from afar, and Tony noticed him, turning his head to look back.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, both showing expressions of disgust in unison.
Holland-Spider wiped his forehead at this moment, exhaled, and quickly ran off to carry a concrete slab to "collect" Deadpool's body.
"That's great, Deadpool, even though you died for nothing and didn't do anything, we succeeded!"
He smiled and placed Deadpool's bones, which were growing flesh, onto the slab.
He even carefully held the skull, which had already grown skin, fearing that the brain matter inside would spill out.
At this moment, an orange time-space portal opened in front of Holland-Spider.
A pair of combat boots, worn only by TVA staff, and a pair of metallic tech shoes stepped out one after another.
Holland-Spider froze for a moment, then looked up.
It was Ms. B15 and Doctor Doom, who had joined not long ago.
"Sorry, you didn't succeed, Peter." Ms. B15 shattered Holland-Spider's good mood as soon as she appeared.
"What? Didn't succeed? How is that possible?"
Holland-Spider dropped Deadpool's head with a thud, "Wait, you already know everything?"
"The TVA detected the entire situation the moment the Universe collision occurred."
Doctor Doom spoke: "Spider-Man, everything you see may not be real."
"Time, reality, or space, everything is constantly changing."
"When two Universes become entangled, a part of their time and reality homogenizes, intertwining."
"These two Universes will continue to draw closer until they collide, until they are destroyed."
Little Spider froze upon hearing this: "You mean, you mean, now the Universe has been pushed away, but it's still continuing to draw closer!?"
"Exactly!"
Doctor Doom's icy gaze swept over everyone cheering on the scene.
All the tragedies of every World.
Originated from these Superheroes.
Their joy, their struggles, their victories, or their sacrifices.
All came at the cost of others' destruction.
Just like everything between the Fantastic Four and him!
"Universes that have become entangled can no longer be salvaged."
"To prevent a greater tragedy, we must make sacrifices."
Doctor Doom deliberately lowered his voice: "We must…"
"Destroy this b2 timeline." Ms. B15 took over, a hint of struggle and sadness in her eyes.
"What!?" Holland-Spider was incredulous.
"How, how can you do that? This is a Universe, B15! There are countless lives!"
Ms. B15 slowly shook her head: "Take your friends and leave. The TVA's duty is to maintain the stability of the Sacred Timeline. We… cannot stand by and watch the Main Universe be destroyed."
"But, but…" Holland-Spider's mind was in a mess.
He blinked rapidly, trying to come up with some solutions by counting on his fingers.
But no matter how fast he spun his head, or how many times he recited the periodic table, he couldn't think of any method.
"We must have another way, please, B15, please! Think of something else… Oh, right!"
Holland-Spider had a flash of inspiration and raised his finger.
"We still have Leon! Leon has only left temporarily, we can wait for him to come back and solve all of this!"
Ms. B15 froze for a moment: "If it's Leon…"
"Leon can't completely prevent the collision of these two Worlds either!"
Doctor Doom's voice was as cold as a machine.
Ever since Holland-Spider and he first met at the TVA and Holland-Spider said his voice sounded a bit like Tony's.
He had deliberately changed his tone, making it sound like a constantly rotating gear was stuck in his throat.
"Why?" Holland-Spider was puzzled.
"Because his power comes from the Infinity Stones, but no one can use the Infinity Stones to untangle the entanglement of two Universes!" Doctor Doom said indifferently.
"Is, is this true?" Holland-Spider looked at Ms. B15 helplessly.
Ms. B15 pursed her lips and slowly nodded.
"How could this be…" Holland-Spider's heart sank continuously, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.
But he still refused to give up: "Then, can you give us a little more time? At least, at least let Leon come back and take a look. Oh, right, isn't he still an abstract entity?"
Ms. B15 froze when she heard "abstract entity," and her eyes slowly lit up.
She pondered: "I don't know much about the abilities of abstract entities."
"But Eternity among them is rumored to be able to grant any wish. Looking at it this way, perhaps Leon might have a way."
At the TVA, Doctor Doom and other staff had analyzed all the causal relationships of the Universe collision for Ms. B15.
So much so that Ms. B15 believed the collision was unstoppable.
She only now remembered that abstract concepts, as legendary existences, are a part of the Universe.
Problems that the TVA cannot solve might not be problems in the eyes of those existences.
It's just that generally, abstract entities are impossible to contact.
Even if the Universe is destroyed, they won't appear.
That's why Ms. B15 always overlooked Leon's other identity.
"Leon is still an abstract entity?" Doctor Doom's eyes narrowed slightly.
"That's right. Let's go back first, Doom. Leave this place to Peter to guard. When Leon returns, we'll make the final decision."
Doctor Doom was silent for a few seconds before slowly nodding: "Alright."
The two returned to the TVA.
And Holland-Spider, dragging Deadpool's skeleton.
Returned to the group with a heavy heart.
Then he told everyone the terrible news.
The joy brought by the crisis being resolved was instantly extinguished.
"Can we only wait for Leon then…?" Tony held his arms and pondered.
He patted Holland-Spider's shoulder: "Then let's wait, but for me, there's no such thing as impossible."
"Perhaps before Leon returns, Iron Man will have already solved the impossible crisis."
"Besides, we still have two Super Goddesses here who can push Universes apart."
...
Two days later.
When Leon arrived in the b2 Universe through the time-space portal.
What he saw was a temporarily set up laboratory.
In the laboratory.
Two Tonys, two Banners, and scientists like Rocket Raccoon, were slumped in chairs.
Their faces were all covered in deep dark circles and lifeless eyes.
"Still no, still no…" Rocket Raccoon looked at the ceiling, repeating it over and over.
"Where is Leon, where is Leon…" Banner from the s Universe mumbled.
Chapter 459: Leon Saves the Day
Leon stood in front of the Time Gate.
Before coming, he had imagined what the first sight would be like upon arriving in the Main Universe.
Perhaps the World would be in chaos, with the two Earths only minutes away from colliding, and everyone saying their final goodbyes.
Or perhaps the collision crisis would already be resolved, with Tony and other parallel WorldSuperheroes singing and dancing amidst flowers and applause.
But he hadn't expected to arrive here and immediately see several people, their faces ashen from countless sleepless nights, looking as if they were on the verge of sudden death.
"Why do you all look so preoccupied yet not particularly anxious? So, the situation isn't too bad right now?"
Leon's voice broke the silence in the lab.
Tony, who had his feet propped on the table, rocking his chair, and tapping his forehead with a pen cap like a wooden fish, jolted, kicked the table away, and stood up.
The Iron Man from the b2 Universe opposite him cursed, "Shit," as he was knocked over by the table.
And Tony's eyes, which had been staring blankly at the ceiling a second ago, lit up with surprise upon seeing Leon.
"Leon! Is your important transformation finished?" Tony squeezed his hand, crushing the pen.
"It's finished. The process went smoothly, and I even met Dormammu," Leon said as he closed the Time Gate.
"But I didn't expect to come home and find you guys saving the World in your spare time."
He added, "And it seems you haven't made a mess this time. Big improvement, Tony."
Tony's mouth twitched at that, this familiar feeling confirmed it was his annoying younger brother.
Originally, he had been a bit excited and relieved to see Leon.
But now, he wished he could roll his eyes to the back of his head.
"You're Leon, the abstract concept they said could solve the collision event?" Rocket Raccoonasked, twirling a wrench in his hand.
He looked at Leon suspiciously, "Can you really do it? Your muscles look good, but stopping a collision isn't as simple as pushing Earth away."
Leon became interested, "Sounds like you've tried already? How did you do it, with the Infinity Stones?"
"That's right, Deadpool and that Shazam girl both tried, but after the two Earths separated, they kept getting closer!" Rocket Raccoon said, waving his wrench.
"Deadpool came too, and Kara even used the Stones…"
Leon turned his head to look in other directions, his Super Vision penetrating walls, seeing through the entire globe without any obstruction.
In a lounge, he saw Deadpool, who looked like skin and bones.
The guy looked like an old man on his last legs, his throat muscles still not recovered, cackling and telling dirty jokes to the Nurse taking care of him.
Looking the other way, Kara was sunbathing, seemingly unharmed.
Meanwhile, Diana, Yelena, and others were in various cities on Earth, suppressing the rebellions under the "doomsday" scenario.
Facing a crisis like another Earth appearing overhead, some countries and factions were secretly building 'Noah's Arks'.
Ordinary citizens could not possibly remain calm.
"So, do you have any ideas—about stopping the Universe collision?"
At this point, the knocked-down Iron Man stood up with the help of the two Banners.
His eyes were downcast, as if covered by a shadow.
The Superheroes of the b2 Universe had not had an easy time these past two days.
They had learned of the Time Variance Authority's existence.
And thus, they also knew that if this collision with the Main Universe could not be prevented, they would inevitably be the ones sacrificed.
So now, all their hopes rested on these scientists, and on Leon, who had yet to arrive.
As for the b2 Universe's Doctor Strange, that guy initially wanted to search for the Darkhold and the Book of Vishanti, believing those two legendary magic books surely contained solutions to the collision.
Then… he was suppressed by the Main Universe's Doctor Strange.
The Main Universe's Doctor Strange was currently having a headache over his parallel Worldcounterparts.
After all, even this Universe collision, aside from the primary responsibility of Scarlet Witchwanting to seize the ability to travel the Multiverse, the secondary responsibility belonged to the Doctor Stranges he encountered on his way to stop Scarlet Witch.
Upon learning that the s Universe's Strange had not yet become a sorcerer, the Main Universe's Doctor Strange let out a huge sigh of relief.
He repeatedly warned Tony not to let that Strange become a sorcerer, otherwise, he would definitely cause big trouble too.
As two days passed, the hazy shadow of the Main Universe's Earth appeared again above b2 Earth.
However, the research team's progress was not ideal.
The Tonys and Banners found a direction—starting from quantum entanglement.
But after several bursts of inspiration and experiments, they discovered that the entanglement between the two Universes was not only at the quantum level.
In Tony's words, it was "entanglement occurring from the macroscopic World visible to our naked eyes, down to the infinitely small microscopic World."
If Leon didn't come soon, to delay the collision and buy more research time, they would have to snap their fingers a third time.
Fortunately, Leon was here now.
At this moment, the b2 Universe's Iron Man's entire heart was in his throat.
His ashen eyes looked at Leon, carrying a hope he dared not fully embrace.
"You have a way, right?" he asked again.
But Leon didn't answer directly; instead, he opened the lab door and walked out.
"Don't worry, let me assess the situation first."
Outside the makeshift lab, many staff members from the Avengers were busy.
When Leon walked out of the lab, those people paused in confusion.
Before they could ask, Leon flew directly into the air.
He looked down at the two 'slowly' approaching Earths from outside the atmosphere, and began to concentrate.
Thus, the World gradually disassembled in his eyes, transforming into a vast scroll connected by lines of rules.
The essence of a Universe, from a scientific perspective, Tony and Banner would explain with the movement of particles, even subdividing it to the level of quarks and even quanta.
But from the perspective of magic, the essence of the Universe's surface was the Six-Gem Rulesthat Leon had already grasped.
Among them, the quantum entanglement that Tony and his team had been researching these past two days was part of the reality rule.
Leon didn't even need to use the Infinity Stones.
He just floated in the Universe, watching with open eyes, and saw the parts where the two Universes were intertwined.
"Time, Space, Reality… By unraveling these rule patterns one by one, the collision can be stopped from continuing."
The energy of the Infinity Stones emerged from Leon's body.
Relying solely on his own power, he was temporarily unable to perform Universe-level operations.
To micro-manage two Universes simultaneously, he still needed to use the six Stones and enter a super-singular level state.
In fact, relying on the Infinity Stones could indeed solve the problem of the Universe collision.
It was just that neither Kara nor Deadpool had done anything more than snap their fingers.
Their use of the Stones couldn't even be considered crude.
They were like primitive people who found a large missile, thought it was big and good, and so used it as a wall to block wind and rain, unaware of the missile's greater purpose.
Chapter 460: The End of the Cosmic Collision, Survivors
Leon hovered in the Universe, extending his hands and beginning to operate.
The energy of the Infinity Stones on him continuously surged out, enveloping him in a colorful light source.
From his perspective,
he unraveled the intertwined rules of the Universe as if meticulously extracting silk threads from a cocoon.
However, in the eyes of the Superheroes who, having sensed the commotion, rushed over and stopped at the edge of Earth, observing from afar,
Leon seemed to be playing a fast-paced piano piece with the Cosmic void as his piano.
His fingers continuously fell with regularity, moving so fast that they became a blur.
At the same time, with every rise and fall of each finger,
the energy of the Infinity Stones would fall into the Universe.
Those energies seemed to be channeled into invisible data lines,
flowing rapidly along slender trajectories, then disappearing into the depths of the Universe.
In reality, that was the process of the Stones' energy spreading along the rule lines and then unraveling the entanglement.
It was just that Leon's movements were too fast.
So much so that the Stone's energy seemed to transform into strings in front of him.
Those strings continuously pulsed against the backdrop of the dark Universe.
This process was not long.
Ten minutes later, Leon stopped.
He finally held up his palm and slowly pushed it towards the Main Universe's Earth.
The energy of the Infinity Stones blasted out from his palm in the form of a light beam, impacting the Main Universe's barrier.
Thus, Earth continuously receded at a visible speed, until the two Universes completely separated and Earth was no longer visible.
"Done."
Leon withdrew his hand and suddenly perceived a force as vast as two Universes feeding back to the Rege Duo Clone.
This signified that the collision crisis was completely over.
"Very good, another day of being a good person, doing good deeds, and becoming stronger."
Leon flew back to the b2 Universe's Earth.
At this time, several spaceships had already stopped outside the atmosphere.
The spaceships were packed with people, and outside the spaceships, Kara and Captain Marvelwere still floating.
Leon made an OK gesture and was the first to fly into Earth.
"What does his gesture mean? Could it be that the Universe collision was just solved by him like that?"
Rocket Raccoon, possessing a Cosmic level brain and knowledge, widened his mouth at this moment, feeling that the World was somewhat unfamiliar.
"It should be… Is the correct way to use the Infinity Stones actually to play a piano piece?" Banneralso found it hard to believe.
Iron Man of the b2 Universe was directly silent.
Thinking back to the past two days,
they had racked their brains and worked day and night in their research.
Yet they hadn't even found the correct path.
But as soon as Leon arrived, he just played some flashy random notes, and everything was solved?
And this guy didn't even seem to suffer any backlash!
Didn't they say there was a backlash for using the Infinity Stones, and countless Iron Men had died snapping their fingers?
In the heart of the b2 Universe's Iron Man, various indescribable emotions were churning at this moment.
Suddenly, Tony from the s Universe patted him on the shoulder.
And shamelessly winked at him: "That's my younger brother, Leon, not bad, right? He's about half as charming as me."
Iron Man's mouth twitched, extremely speechless, feeling exceptionally uncomfortable and choked up.
"Gah gah gah!" Another unpleasant laugh simultaneously rang out from the spaceship.
Like a male duck hoarsely quacking.
That was Deadpool, wrapped entirely in white gauze, vaguely showing his emaciated state.
Only a pair of deeply sunken eyes were visible on his face.
"Peter, quick, take me back, let's go find Superman to learn the piano piece he just played!"
Holland-Spider, as the one who brought Deadpool for support, had no choice but to support him.
But at this moment, he also had a difficult expression: "How could that be a piano piece? Even if it really is, it's definitely a Cosmic echo that ordinary people cannot understand!"
"Is that so? Then if I agree to Superman using my ass, will he teach me? I want to go back and play it for Vanessa!" Deadpool wouldn't listen to reason.
"Shit, nobody wants to use your ass, shut up!" Holland-Spider couldn't help but get a little irritable.
Spaceships flew back to Earth one after another.
After everyone returned to the ground, they received the accurate answer from Leon.
For a moment, the people from the s Universe and the Main Universe simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
Their tense and suppressed hearts for two days finally relaxed.
The two Captain Americas and Carter slowly sat aside to chat.
Old Captain America was saying goodbye to them.
This experience in the parallel World made him realize that he still had unfulfilled obligations in his own Universe.
Young Captain America and Carter were a bit reluctant, especially Carter, but they did not stop him.
On the other side, Banner was chatting with General Ross and Bronski.
He asked General Ross when he would record the video for General Ross of the s Universe.
But this former President avoided the question, seemingly not wanting Betty to marry Banner, and seemed to have second thoughts.
So Banner could only patiently persuade him.
Compared to the relief of the people from these two Universes,
the people of the b2 Universe were entirely experiencing the joy of surviving a great disaster.
Their emotions these past few days were like waves, rising and falling.
First, they gathered the Stones to salvage everything, but were chased by Thanos and almost wiped out.
Then, Thanos died, and they thought the storm had passed.
But then they learned that a Universe collision was imminent, and their Universe was even a discard.
The drastic ups and downs of emotions almost crushed the resilient Avengers.
The moment they heard the crisis was over,
Ant-Man Scott even hugged Rocket Raccoon and Groot and cried out loud.
Captain America of the b2 Universe also couldn't hold on.
He directly fell backward onto the ground, spreading his limbs wide, looking up at the blue sky and breathing deeply.
As for Iron Man... he had no reaction.
Because the moment his nose twitched, he inhaled sharply, and his emotions almost broke.
Tony patted his shoulder next to him: "It's okay, cry, old buddy, although you're a bit more fragile than me and don't quite fit the name Iron Man, I can understand."
So Iron Man could only keep a blank face, holding all his emotions back inside.
And Tony secretly gave Jarvis a peace sign from the side.
All of this only changed when Pepper of the b2 Universe arrived with Morgan.
Iron Man held Morgan with one hand, kissed her little face, and listened to her say 'I love you three thousand'.
Then he winked at Tony next to him.
And Tony could only express envy.
"Jarvis, do you think Pepper will have a girl? Like Morgan."
"I don't know, sir. Would you like to predict it in advance? But I don't recommend doing that."
"I didn't mean that, it's just... well, if Pepper has a boy, and he's not as cute as Morgan, I'll make Leon beat him every day."
"That's a very good idea, sir."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Main Universe's Doctor Strange approached Leon.
"Thank you for your help to our two Universes, Mr. Stark," Strange said.
"So polite? Just call me Leon," Leon nodded slightly.
"Okay... Leon, thank you for saving the World. Um, actually, I heard Dormammu mention you when I was in the Dark Dimension."
Chapter 461 What is a surprise?
"Does Dormammu still bring me up? Hasn't he always only talked about you?"
Leon chuckled, "Almost every Strange in every Universe has to negotiate with him at least once."
"That's true, but many negotiations succeed, and many also fail," Strange smiled.
"In fact… I have something I want to discuss with you."
After the pleasantries, Doctor Strange got straight to the point.
"Not long ago, Clea and I went to the Dark Dimension to resolve a collision crisis."
He slowly explained, "Although we happened to encounter a Hell Lord and other demon gods invading the Dark Dimension."
"But they didn't cause much of an impact on me."
"It's just like what you see now; I failed."
"Because… it wasn't one Universe colliding, but many, perhaps even countless!"
"Countless?" Leon's eyes narrowed slightly.
"This is just my guess, because I stopped some of the Universe's collisions, but it still didn't change the outcome."
"Next, there might be other Universes successively crashing into our World."
"So, I hope…" Strange paused slightly.
He pursed his lips, finding it a bit difficult to speak.
Doctor Strange was a very proud and strong-willed fellow.
To get him to sincerely ask for help from others would be incredibly difficult.
However, after much internal struggle.
He still gritted his teeth and said, "I hope I can get your help, Leon."
His emerald eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Leon.
"I was once a Sorcerer Supreme, and also a disciple of Ancient One; we are both dedicated to protecting the Earth Dimension."
"So, could I ask you… when the next collision occurs… to help us?"
After Doctor Strange finished speaking, even his breathing became strained.
Even his hands, clasped behind his back, were trembling.
These words were indeed very difficult for him to say.
In the past, he would have absolutely never uttered them.
But after experiencing the Infinity War, after Wanda's pursuit, and after he met Clea…
(Clea is Doctor Strange's wife in the comics)
So now he has a reason to protect the Earth.
Fortunately, this was exactly what Leon wanted.
"Very well, Sorcerer Supremes should indeed communicate more with each other," Leon nodded and said.
"I will have an m-body permanently stationed in your World. When you cannot resolve the next collision crisis, I will take action."
"An m-body?" Doctor Strange was taken aback.
He hadn't encountered this term before.
"It's a clone," Leon walked past Strange. "Come on, look over there, Iron Man seems to be planning a dinner party for everyone."
Time passed during a dinner party.
At night, Holland-Spider opened the Space-Time Gate, sending everyone home.
The people from the s Universe first arrived in the Main Universe, and then opened the Space-Time Gate again to return to their own World.
At the moment of departure.
Leon, as if sensing something, looked up and suddenly saw a spaceship appear out of thin air in the Main Universe's space, rapidly approaching Earth.
He looked through it with slight confusion.
Inside the spaceship were the Fantastic Four, and Mister Fantastic Reed's two children.
"Reed? Oh no, the troublemaker King Reed is back!"
Leon raised an eyebrow, hurriedly pushing Tony forward.
Ever since B15 mentioned Mister Fantastic, stating that he would one day return to the Main Universe.
Leon had been mentally prepared.
He just hadn't expected that day to come so soon.
However, he didn't concern himself with the Main Universe's Reed.
Instead, the moment he passed through the Space-Time Gate and returned to his own Universe, he hastily gazed out into the Universe.
Fortunately, the Universe was still so quiet, with no spaceship approaching.
"The general progression of our World actually still follows the Main Universe's storyline."
"So, the Mister Fantastic of our Universe should also return around 2025, which is still a long time from now."
Leon breathed a sigh of relief.
He had already prepared to send these Superheroes to other Universes before the Fantastic Fourlanded on Earth.
But since it's not until 2025, there's no rush.
"You seemed a bit anxious just now?" Tony looked back curiously.
"Did I? Oh, right… there's one thing that's actually quite urgent." Leon remembered an important item on his schedule.
"What could make you anxious… Could it be going to, hehe, I understand, go on, go on."
Tony showed a knowing smile and pushed Leon towards Kara and Diana.
But Leon didn't budge.
"Sorry, Tony, perhaps Pepper and your life have made you misunderstand the word 'anxious'."
Leon said speechlessly.
"But what I mean by anxious is not that aspect."
"Rather… I have a surprise for you."
"A surprise? What surprise?" Tony was surprised.
"A surprise is a surprise."
Leon waved his hand, then said to the others nearby.
"Captain, Banner, you two go back first, Tony and I still have something to do."
"Wanda, you and Pietro stay for a moment."
Everyone said their goodbyes and dispersed.
Although they had just saved a World next door.
Everyone still had to go to work tomorrow, and Banner still had to attend classes at the Mage Academy.
Soon, only Leon, Wanda, and the other two remained.
"Leon, is there really still something for me here?" Pietro was a bit confused.
He scratched his head and said, "Don't you and Wanda usually act like I don't exist?"
"Pietro!" A red glow suddenly appeared in Wanda's hand.
"Alright, alright, you're the younger sister, you're right, I won't say anything else." Pietro scurried away, covering his head.
"I usually ignore you, but it's different now," Leon said with a smile, opening a portal.
On the other side were rows of single-story wooden houses in Sokovia.
Leon walked through; it was snowing in Sokovia, and snowflakes fell around him.
He walked to one of the wooden houses, unlocked the door, and beckoned to the three: "Come here!"
Tony and the other two followed Leon into the house.
"Here… these things are, they're from when we were little…"
Pietro and Wanda were stunned.
The decor and arrangement of the living room inside the wooden house were exactly like their childhood home.
"Is this the surprise you prepared for us, Leon?" Wanda covered her mouth, tears already shimmering in her eyes.
"Not yet, the surprise is next."
Leon smiled and extended his palm forward.
"It's starting!"
As Leon's thought arose, the scene before them suddenly began to rewind rapidly.
Wanda watched with wide eyes as the wooden house they were in began to be disassembled—
No, not disassembled, but the construction process in reverse!
The wooden house quickly reverted to flat ground, and time throughout Sokovia seemed to be rewinding.
Skyscrapers disappeared, and old, dilapidated houses reappeared.
Warfare reignited the city.
The scene before the four of them continuously rewound, finally returning to a night many years ago.
"Stop!"
Leon called out, and the scene stopped there.
The setting where the four of them were now was the interior of a dilapidated apartment.
Wanda's family, including her parents, were squeezed together on the sofa watching a TV show.
Wanda looked at her parents and her younger self and Pietro before her.
She suddenly had a premonition of what might happen next.
Her eyes misty with tears, she looked at Leon in disbelief.
"You, you're not going to…"
"This is the surprise, Wanda."
Leon lowered his head and lightly kissed Wanda's forehead.
Then he looked back at the historical scene.
"Time Reversal!" he said in a deep voice.
Chapter 462 Resurrection
In the Starry Sky World, a Law Master can bring people who have died in the river of time back to the present.
That is, resurrection.
That is the ability granted to the Law Master by the Source Will.
What Lyon was doing at this moment was similar.
However, he relied on his control over time and the infinite energy of the Infinity Stones to forcibly reverse the timeline and pull people back.
He brought Wanda and the other two back to the moment the Maksimov couple died.
When the couple was affected by the explosion, he took their "existence" away from that period of time.
"Time-Space Reversal!"
The scene in front of the four people began to flow normally again.
The entire World was like a fast-forwarded movie, countless times over.
After an overwhelming flash of images.
The living room of the detached wooden house reappeared before their eyes.
Only this time, besides Lyon and the three others, the Maksimov couple were also there.
The moment the couple appeared in reality.
In the cemetery on the outskirts of Sokovia, their originally decayed remains still existed.
But in a higher dimension.
In the hands of Death, the two souls originally prepared for Lyon gradually turned into nothingness.
In the boundless darkness, two points of green Fire lit up.
Death opened her eyes in solitude: "Is it Lyon? Bringing people back from the past to the present without affecting time or creating new branches, an interesting idea~"
In the small wooden house in Sokovia.
The Maksimov couple still looked as they did on the day of their Death.
Their memories were still stuck at the moment the terrifying fire and sound of the missile explosion engulfed them.
"Wanda! Pietro, quick, hide under the bed!"
The couple almost simultaneously called out their children's names in panic.
"Dad, Mom…" Wanda and Pietro were completely stunned at this moment.
However, when they heard their parents' familiar voices after more than ten years of separation.
The siblings instantly lost control of their emotions.
They rushed forward and tightly embraced the couple.
"Dad, Mom, we're here, it's alright, everything's alright, we're here!"
Now it was the couple's turn to be at a loss.
"This, you're Wanda? You're… Pietro? How did you suddenly get so big? Wasn't there a missile just now… Wait, where's the missile?"
"That was more than ten years ago, Mom, Lyon resurrected you, Lyon, he's…"
Wanda pointed to the side, but Lyon and Tony were nowhere to be seen; they had left.
At this moment, only the Maksimov family remained in the house.
"Lyon is Wanda's boyfriend!" Pietro quickly answered at this moment, "But honestly, Wanda is a bit unworthy of him, that's Superman!"
Pietro, as always, admired Superman.
And, as always, habitually angered Wanda.
"Pietro!"
"Did I say something wrong? Wait, what are you going to do? Dad and Mom are right here!"
"Slow down, you two, slow down!"
The Maksimov couple watched their children chasing each other around them.
They exchanged a bewildered glance.
Although they were still at a loss, they suddenly adapted to the fact of their resurrection after Death.
…
At the same time, Lyon brought Tony back to the beachfront mansion in Los Angeles.
"Unbelievable, you can actually do something like that… But are you sure it won't have a negative impact on you, and on the World?"
Tony stared blankly at the gradually fading green and scarlet energy on Lyon's body.
His lips were a little dry, and he had already anticipated what was about to happen next, his heart uncontrollably excited.
But he subconsciously worried if Lyon had paid a great price.
"Listen, if you made a deal with some demon or devil, then stop immediately."
Tony used great courage to calm himself down, then advised Lyon.
"We are doing very well now, and the old man and mother should be doing well in heaven, so don't do anything foolish!"
"Of course, I won't do anything foolish, Tony." Lyon could understand Tony's feelings.
"But you're right about one thing, the old man is doing great in the afterlife, maybe even happier than he was on Earth."
He pressed Tony down onto the sofa: "So you just need to watch, it will be quick, and there will be no price."
"Are you sure?" Tony confirmed again.
Some of his worries lessened.
What remained was a more complex emotion.
It was like a sudden helplessness, and also an inexplicable fear and shame.
Tony was like someone who had been away from home for many years and suddenly returned one day.
Looking at the old house close at hand, thinking of his parents inside.
His chest was filled with a suffocating, turbid air, and he didn't know how to express himself.
Had he done well enough all these years? Could he make his father proud? Would his mother think he was old and had changed?
Tony didn't know; he unconsciously placed his hands on his legs, sitting very properly.
His eyes, a little nervous, looked at Lyon, and he began to babble incoherently.
"Are you sure… Well, you should be confident, after all, you looked very relaxed just now at your Wanda's house."
"But, uh, shouldn't we go to the cemetery, use the old man's ashes to resurrect him? Maybe he'll adapt to those old cold legs faster."
Tony's words were a little unstoppable.
He was actually using what seemed like logical words to cover up his nervousness.
Lyon, of course, could see through what this middle-aged man in his forties was thinking.
"No need, just sit there." Lyon made a gesture with his index finger, motioning Tony to be quiet.
But Tony immediately rebelled and stood up.
He tugged at his shirt, smoothing out the wrinkles.
"I'd better stand, it's more formal… Should I go change into a suit, yes, wait for me, I'll go change into a suit."
"Change what suit? No, you stand there!"
Lyon ignored Tony and directly began to reverse time.
"I'm starting!"
Their time seemed to instantly detach from the entire World.
Earth was like a Mangekyō, spinning rapidly in their eyes, countless past scenes flashing by like a revolving lantern.
Tony watched himself and Lyon entering and exiting the mansion day after day in the scenes.
As time reversed, Lyon in the scenes rapidly shrank, while he simultaneously reverted to youth.
Twenty-one years of past life pressed the rewind button at this moment.
Tony stared blankly at everything.
His clear eyes were dazed, and those memories he had never forgotten flooded his mind simultaneously.
Soon, Lyon reversed time to the night the Winter Soldier killed the Howard couple.
At the moment the car exploded.
Lyon resurrected his adoptive parents, just as he had resurrected the Maksimov couple.
Time began to flow forward again.
When Lyon brought the "existence" of the Howard couple back to the future, back to the beachfront mansion.
The couple was successfully resurrected.
Two souls again disappeared from Death's hand.
Unlike when the Maksimov couple were resurrected and still hadn't figured out the situation.
Howard and Maria clearly knew everything Lyon had done.
