2012, New York.
There was no one in a secluded street and alley, only the breeze carrying dust passed by.
Suddenly there was a small dot in the air, and it quickly grew in size and expanded, forming a space channel. In an instant, the passage disappeared, and four figures appeared on the spot, wearing strange space suits, and their faces were wrapped in masks with respirators and transparent lenses.
The mask quickly shrank and disappeared behind the neck, revealing four familiar faces, namely Captain America, Iron Man, Ant-Man and Professor Hulk. Steve strode forward and walked out of the alley, and at the same time ordered:
"Everyone split up, there are two rough stones in the outskirts of the city, and one in the city center. Keep a low profile and pay attention to the time limit!"
The other three followed him, and after taking a few steps forward, they saw Steve suddenly turn around, the mask appeared again, covering his face, and he walked back with his head lowered.
The three of them were shocked and hurriedly raised their masks. Tony asked alertly: "What happened? Did you meet someone you know?"
Steve did not take off the mask and whispered: "The situation is not right. Our time may be wrong. There are people everywhere on the street. If you listen, there is no sound of gunfire!"
The three of them were startled and hurriedly raised their heads to look around. Sure enough, they only saw a clear sky, which was completely different from the scene in their memories of alien aircraft in the sky. I could hear it clearly in my ears. There was a lot of people not far away, and the sound of traffic didn't sound like a war.
"This is terrible!" Ant-Man Scott panicked first, "Pym particles are only enough for us to come and go once, and our error tolerance rate is zero!"
"Don't panic yet!" Captain America was more stable and comforted Scott first. "Maybe we are just a few dozen minutes early, and maybe the space door will open soon."
"Yes, I have confidence in my skills. I can't go wrong!" Tony also categorically guaranteed his skills.
This trip must be secretive and cannot be noticed by people of this era. Several people have sensitive identities and it is inconvenient to walk around on the street, so they have to wear helmets and hide in the corner. Even if someone saw it, they would just think it was some cosplay enthusiasts partying.
Several people were waiting anxiously for Loki to open the space door and attract the Chitauri to invade, so as to facilitate their operations. But after waiting for more than an hour, all the chances were finally shattered.
"Shit!" Scott, who had the lowest level of civility and the worst psychological quality, was the first to couldn't help it and started to accuse Tony.
"Didn't you promise that your bullshit skills are fine?"
"Then what's going on now?"
"If you wait any longer, it will get dark!"
This operation has a lot to do with it. In this situation, even big-hearted people like Tony and Steve still can't stand it.
"Patience!" Steve glared at Scott, "We are already here, there is no point in complaining and blaming!"
"After it gets dark, let's go out for a walk, confirm the time, and then make next arrangements."
"Can't Tony connect to the satellite directly?" Scott still felt impatient and couldn't bear to wait for so long.
"It's best not!" Steve shook his head. "This is not a technical issue, but a need for concealment. We will try to keep a low profile until more information is obtained."
"And if you can calm down, you will find that we should have arrived early." Tony had no good impression of Scott, a guy with low education and poor mental quality, and choked him.
"How to judge?" Scott was quite confused.
"Because there aren't any collapsed buildings or alien spacecraft wreckage outside." Professor Hulk interjected.
Scott suddenly realized it and put his heart back in his stomach. He was no longer as nervous as before.
After finally surviving until dark, the four of them took off their space suits, got a few hats to cover their faces, and lowered their heads to the street.
"How do you get information? Hack into SHIELD's network?"
"No, we just need to find out whether the Chitauri have ever invaded. As long as we confirm our timeline, it doesn't matter even if we wait a few more months. Anyway, we have just gone back to the other side. Just one minute."
Several people lowered their heads and walked towards a familiar bar nearby. However, just halfway through, Scott stopped and looked at the TV in the street window and it stopped moving.
"Maybe we don't need to inquire about the news."
Steve and the others stopped and turned around to see the news clearly being broadcast on the 40-inch TV in the store. In the news, the video of the alien invasion a few days ago was being played repeatedly, and the man leading the charge looked like Captain America.
"Damn it!"
All four of them were dumbfounded.
They stood blankly outside the display window, staring at the news on the TV through a thin layer of glass. Although the TV did not play any external sound, the scrolling subtitles at the bottom of the screen were enough for four people to understand the basic information.
After a long time, Tony took a deep breath and wiped it on his face anxiously.
"This is not a timeline issue, it's a world line issue!"
Professor Hulk also said frustratedly: "That's right, we didn't go back to the past, but came to another parallel world!"
"I don't quite understand!" Steve frowned and turned around and asked.
Tony and Professor Hulk looked at each other, and then explained alternately:
"To put it simply, our original plan was to go back in time through quantum space and take away the six Infinity Stones without changing past events. After we use them up, we will return the six Infinity Stones."
"Because we have not made any big moves at this point in time, it will not affect the future development of the world at all. So by then, the time of this world will continue to move forward, just like we have never been here, it will not Any deflection due to our arrival.”
"Then Thanos in this timeline will continue to collect all six Infinity Stones, snap his fingers and wipe out half of the population of the universe, and then we in this world's future will do the same thing as we do now."
"This forms a closed loop. This closed loop is embedded in the timeline of our world, giving us more choices."
"We have not changed the past, and what happened in the past will still happen."
"What we change is the future and make it develop in the direction we need!"
"But based on the current situation, we have not gone back to the past. We have come to another parallel world. Whatever we do in this world, we will not worry about affecting our past."
Tony and Hulk took turns explaining each other, and finally Steve and Steve roughly understood the current situation.
"I don't really care about these things. I just want to know, is this good or bad for us? Can we still get what we want?"
"Well..." Tony scratched his head in embarrassment, "This is hard to say!"
"If it were a parallel world, we wouldn't have to be as careful as we planned before. Because no matter what we do in this world, it will not affect what has already happened, whether it is in this world or in our world. We You can even rush into S.H.I.E.L.D. and snatch out the space gem."
Hearing this, Steve perked up. He was best at using force, but Tony continued:
"But the downside is that in different parallel worlds, many things and characters have changed, and we have no advantage of knowing beforehand. Apart from anything else, just finding where the six infinity stones are is a very difficult thing."
Steve took a deep breath and encouraged himself: "Since Thanos can gather them all, there is no reason why we can't! At worst, we can just spend more time. The two worlds have advantages in different time proportions. We Might as well take advantage of it.”
The previous few people were cautious, not because they were worried about not getting the gems, but because they were afraid of making too big a move and having too much impact on the past. Now that the movements are freed, they firmly believe that as long as they can find the location of the gem, they will be able to get it.
"But now there is a question. After the Chitauri invasion, the Space Stone was brought back to Asgard by Thor. Do any of you know where Asgard is?"
The four people looked at each other and shook their heads.
Steve sighed and said, "Then consider the Mind Stone and the Time Stone first!"
"The whereabouts of these two gems are quite clear. The Mind Stone should have fallen into the hands of Hydra, while the Time Stone has always been in the hands of the Supreme Mage."
"I'm good at dealing with Hydra!" Steve volunteered, "We have to get it back before it's embedded in Vision's head."
"As for the Time Stone, it's a bit difficult. How do we find the Master Supreme?"
"I know the address of the New York Sanctuary, but I can't see it or open it." Tony said angrily: "Magic is not scientific at all!"
Professor Hulk raised his hand and said, "I have the Mage King's phone number here, but he probably doesn't know me yet."
"It's okay to ask him to send a message to the Supreme Mage and meet for a chat, right?"
"Well, the Mage King has a very kind personality, so there should be no problem."
"Then we'll split into two teams. Tony and I will go get the Mind Stone, and Professor Hulk and Scott will go find the Master Supreme. How about that?"
"No problem!" x3
"Then let's work separately, keep in touch, and communicate in a timely manner if there are any problems."
The four of them separated and left left and right.
Professor Hulk first came to 177a Becker Street, and then called the Wizard King. Although the Wizard King was a little confused about the call from this stranger, Professor Hulk told him the truth and told him that he was a visitor from a parallel world.
As a great magician, Wang is no stranger to visitors from other worlds, but what he sees are often corpses. The only people alive who were not killed by Ancient One were visitors from Earth.
After Professor Hulk hung up the phone, within a few minutes, a door of red sparks appeared in front of him. On the other side of the door, a bald female was sitting behind the coffee table, smiling at him.
The two of them had seen this kind of magical portal a lot, and they hurriedly stepped in, and the portal went out behind them.
"Please sit down!" Gu Yi was very polite, but after hearing Professor Hulk's intention, she flatly refused.
Then Professor Hulk got violent and was slapped to death by Gu Yiyi, knocking him out of his body. Scott quickly shrank and launched an attack, but Gu Yi casually pinched it in his fingers.
The two superheroes, faced with the bug Gu Yi, were completely annihilated without even meeting each other.
】
Neither of them expected that Ancient One was so much stronger than Dr. Strange. I had no choice but to give up and explain everything clearly.
Gu Yi kept listening with a smile. After Professor Hulk finished speaking, he smiled and said to him: "You must not have collected information properly when you came here this time, otherwise you wouldn't be so reckless."
She did not blame anything, but used magic to simulate the animation, introducing the importance of the infinite gems to the two people, as well as the consequences of losing the infinite gems such as parallel space branches, and finally refused:
"The Infinity Stones cannot leave this world, otherwise there will be serious consequences."
Professor Hulk hurriedly explained: "As long as we use the Infinity Stones and return to this point in time, these six Infinity Stones will be no different from this world as if they had never left."
"When we travel between the two worlds, the time ratio is inconsistent. No matter how long we spend in this world, only one minute will pass in the other world. And vice versa."
"This involves the theory of quantum physics..."
Ancient One reached out and interrupted Professor Hulk's popular science lecture, "Although I don't understand science, I understand magic. I know the problem of the different speeds of time in the two worlds. But even if I believe that you will send the six infinity stones back to the corresponding There must be a prerequisite for the timing.”
She stared at Professor Hulk deeply and said, "That is, you have to survive the final battle."
Professor Hulk was very anxious, "I assure you, we will be able to achieve final victory and successfully return the Infinity Stones!"
"Your guarantee is worthless! As the Sorcerer Supreme, my responsibility is to protect the safety of the Time Stone."
"Then why did Strange hand over the gem?" Professor Hulk was very angry, thinking that Ancient One was making excuses.
Gu Yi was stunned and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Strange handed over the gem?"
"That's right!" Professor Hulk couldn't understand Doctor Strange's actions at all, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction in his words, "He gave the Time Stone to Thanos!"
"voluntary?"
"right!"
"Why?" Gu Yi thought thoughtfully.
"How do I know? Maybe he did something wrong!" Professor Hulk complained.
Gu Yi took a deep breath and quickly understood the truth contained in it.
"Strange will become the best Sorcerer Supreme, there is no mistake about it! So, if he chooses to hand over the Time Stone on his own initiative, it means that in the long river of time, he has seen the way to win in the future. He should watch Then you brought back the six Infinity Stones and rewrote the established facts caused by Thanos."
Professor Hulk was stunned at first, but then he was ecstatic and said happily: "In that case, you should be willing to give me the Time Stone now, right?"
Gu Yi hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "No!"
Professor Hulk was really anxious now, "You said it, Strange has seen the results of our victory, why not?"
