Theoretically, there are infinite timelines, and there may only be a few timelines where abnormalities occur. However, if you want to detect them in a timely manner, you have to monitor all timelines.
This requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and cannot be accomplished by a time administration or an organization.
Therefore, in this case, a special identity position was derived, that of time observer.
Each timeline will have a corresponding observer to monitor whether the timeline is abnormal or not. In theory, as long as there are countless timelines, there will be countless observers.
The birth of observers is also full of randomness. They may come from copies of anyone in the corresponding timeline.
As it happens, the clone of the observer in this timeline is Peter Parker.
"The danger comes from my identity, Peter Parker." The observer walked out of the rectangular door and said
"According to the timeline, he should have turned into a lizard man and died in the arms of Gwen Stacy, but... everything changed on that day."
"That day, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He had gained powerful power and became the Black Superman. And under his influence, countless changes occurred in the timeline."
"Black Superman? So, what powers did he gain?"
"Unparalleled strength, endurance, speed, defense, flight, perception, heat vision, and even seem to be getting stronger every moment. So far, there have been several power surges." The observer said:
"In fact, I'm very confused. Such a timeline is already fully capable of destruction, so why would the anomaly handling team be allowed to attack?"
"This is...an order from above." The black aunt said, looking at everyone,
"We don't have to doubt anything about this. We just need to know that our goal this time is to deal with the Black Superman and arrest him. This is very important."
"He is different from the time criminals we faced before. We must first lurk and then be surprised.
Remember, he has the power to destroy us at any time before we collar him!
And only if we fail will we consider destroying the timeline. "
"Then what should we do?" the soldier asked.
The black aunt replied: "The current timeline should be close to the time when the Avengers first assembled. This may be our opportunity..."
And high up in the sky where they couldn't see, Peter was standing on the clouds, watching quietly.
------------------
The Cosmic Cube has awakened,
It is in a small world, the human world.
Humans want to harness its energy,
They will not succeed, only our allies can exploit it.
He will be the vanguard, and our Zitali army will follow.
Give him an earth and we will have the universe.
As for humans, what else can they do except wait for death?
...
S.H.I.E.L.D., underground base.
For a long time, they have had a problem, that is, they have the treasure trove of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube but cannot use it.
Ever since Howard and other senior figures passed away and left, they have been unable to find a suitable person to study them for a long time.
In the MCU, SHIELD found Dr. Shavig in "Thor 1", but in this world, they missed it because of Peter's intrusion.
It wasn't until a few days ago that SHIELD found a barely suitable candidate. As for why it was said to be barely suitable...because this person was the leader.
The leader's extremely high intelligence is definitely more than enough for studying the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, at least better than most people on the planet, but the only problem is that he may be a little uncontrollable.
Of course, this is nothing in the eyes of the conceited SHIELD, who often see huge benefits.
Just now, the leader detected an abnormal energy fluctuation from the Cosmic Cube, which caused researchers in the entire base to evacuate. At the same time, Lu Dan, Hill and Coulson also arrived.
"The Cosmic Cube started on its own? What energy level has it reached now?" Fury asked.
"It's still climbing. The leader concluded that someone may have activated the Rubik's Cube elsewhere," Colson said.
"Hell, we have the Rubik's Cube here. Are you telling me that someone can remotely activate the Rubik's Cube through the countless defenses of SHIELD agents?"
"Well...he probably didn't mean it."
"Forget it, when can our people evacuate?"
"Within half an hour."
"Quickly, move all the equipment from the second stage away at the same time..." Fury issued a series of orders, and finally came to the location of the Cosmic Cube.
The leader is controlling the equipment here.
SHIELD monitored him closely, and even his telepathy had corresponding equipment restrictions.
"I can't stop it." The leader said when he saw Fury coming.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm serious, now it's out of control."
"Then cut the power to it."
The leader looked at Fury with a retarded expression, "Don't you know, it is an energy source in itself."
"...."
After showing off his superiority in IQ, the leader continued: "The time I came here was too short, and I haven't had time to finish the calculation. I only know that this thing is now releasing interference and gamma energy rays. Don't worry, it is low enough to cause no harm. "
"..."
Fury suddenly realized that he might only be exposed to his constant display of intelligence in front of the leader, so he wisely ignored him and instead found Hawkeye, Barton, who had been lurking aside.
"Didn't I ask you to spy on the leader?"
"You can see better if you stay further away. He's fine."
"What about the Cosmic Cube?"
"I suddenly started it. Didn't the leader say so? Someone may have started it from the other side."
At this moment, the energy level of the Universe Rubik's Cube fluctuated again, and this time it was different from before, it directly opened an energy gate.
After a surge of energy, a figure walked out of the energy door.
It was Loki who fell into the void of the universe, bumped into Thanos, and was sent back to invade the Earth.
Loki held the scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone and looked around at the retro mechanical equipment and the crowd surrounding him. He realized that he had finally returned to the Nine Realms.
"Sir, please put down your spear!"
In the crowd, he suddenly heard a braised egg shouting at him. He didn't like him either. An energy ray shot out from the scepter.
The battle is about to break out.
Firearms cannot hurt Loki, who kills like a warrior.
Later, as with the development in the MCU, he used the Mind Stone to control Hawkeye and the Leader. Although the Leader has telepathy, this is not worth mentioning in front of the Mind Stone.
The Cosmic Cube also fell into his hands.
"Loki! What do you want to do?" At this time, Fury finally asked.
"Oh, you know me?" Loki looked at Fury.
"I didn't recognize it at first. I just thought it looked familiar. Then I remembered that you, like Thor, had been punished by the Black Superman."
"..." Loki was speechless.
He also remembered the scene when his butt was burned on fire, and felt angry.
Damn, was his first appearance so awkward?
"Yes, I am Loki from Asgard." Loki gritted his teeth and said:
"I have a mission to avenge the bastard who stole the throne and tried to kill me. I will prove to Odin who is truly worthy of his trust."
"And the first step I have to do is to liberate you."
"Liberate us?" Fury was too lazy to care about Asgard's family affairs. He was more concerned about the crisis of the earth.
"Of course, I will conquer you and free you from this nihilistic freedom." Loki said, directly ordering the leader to take action.
The leader actually used telepathy to instantly knock out several agents around him.
His original ability strength was naturally unable to do this, but after being controlled by the Mind Stone, his mind-related abilities were also strengthened.
Loki was also a little surprised and laughed: "Very good!"
Soon, Loki and the others left the underground base with the Cosmic Cube. The entire underground base was destroyed due to the self-collapse and explosion of the portal.
Fury and the others narrowly escaped, so they were naturally unwilling to do so. They continued to chase Loki and the others in a helicopter, trying to recover the Rubik's Cube. However, they did not expect that the controlled Hawkeye shot an arrow and crashed.
Only then did he realize the pain of having his shooter taken away by the enemy.
But the situation was over, and there was nothing he could do. He could only mobilize manpower to rescue the people buried in the underground base, and use all personnel to search for the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Finally, he said:
"Colson, let's go back to base. This is a level 7 incident... We're going to war!"
"What should we do?" Coulson asked as if to follow him.
Fury was silent for a while and said, "It's time to call in the soldiers."
------------------
Stark Tower.
Tony has not been having an easy time these days, no, it can even be said to be very miserable.
Pepper finally discovered the truth... Well, he always knew that such a day would come, but he just didn't want to face it.
But now, even if you don't want to face it, you have to face it.
No matter how much he hid, unless he really dumped Pepper and squatted somewhere far away, he would be caught sooner or later.
But if he really ran away, Pepper would definitely break up completely in anger, and there would be no possibility for the two of them. This is not what Tony wants to see.
So, after Tony struggled a lot playing hide-and-seek, he was finally caught.
At this moment, he had never been so well-behaved. He was sitting awkwardly in front of the sofa, carefully looking at Pepper with a cold face beside him.
Jarvis suddenly appeared and said, "Sir, Agent Coulson from SHIELD is calling. He insists on looking for you."
Tony's eyes lit up, "Very good... I mean, he came at a really bad time. I have no choice but to go and have a look. SHIELD usually won't come to me if there's no big deal!"
"Really?" Pepper suddenly asked.
Tony immediately stopped and said, "Okay, just tell him I'm outside and not free."
"Sorry, sir, I can't even help you."
"..."
The atmosphere fell into solemn silence again. Tony had never felt that time passed so slowly. Every minute and every second was torture.
Finally, he couldn't help but broke the silence first, "Um...Pepper? I'm a little thirsty. Would you like a glass of water?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he cursed himself in his mind for being stupid, for now he couldn't even speak.
Sure enough, Pepper sneered: "You still want to drink water now? Aren't you afraid that your bladder won't be able to hold it later?"
"Bladder..." Tony said nonchalantly: "Dear, what could happen to my bladder?"
"Who is your dear?"
Tony took a deep breath and tentatively nudged forward. When he found that Pepper didn't refuse, he nudged forward again.
It wasn't until he got close to Pepper that he carefully stretched out his hand and placed it on Pepper's thigh. Seeing that Pepper didn't refuse again, he was ecstatic, and his face was as steady as an old dog's and he said:
"Of course it's you, who else could it be but you?"
According to the normal routine, Pepper should half push and half give...and then the two of them...then get back together.
Damn it, why didn't he think it would be so simple beforehand! If he had known it was so simple, why would he have been hiding for so long?
Unexpectedly, Pepper suddenly said: "I'm pregnant."
"Yeah, of course, you're pregnant..." Tony wanted to follow Pepper's support for the first half of the sentence, but the next second, he stood up directly on the spot, and backed away again and again. After a few steps, he distanced himself and said in horror:
"What did you say? You're pregnant!?"
Pepper saw Tony's reaction, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry and said, "That's right, just when we were on vacation."
"Wait, I remember that I should have taken protective measures..."
"Yes, but at that time I thought you were not going to die soon and wanted to give you a heir, so I secretly...pierced it."
"..."
Tony had a lifeless look on his face, and he collapsed back to the original sofa without any energy, muttering: "How is that possible?"
The news came so suddenly that he was unable to react.
In fact, as a veteran of Huacong, he is naturally aware of this method. Many girls who live with their elders will have such thoughts and try to get high alimony by getting pregnant with the children of rich people to solve their life problems for the rest of their lives.
Naturally, he has taken full protection on weekdays and will not give others such a chance.
But because the target was Pepper...he admitted that he was indeed negligent during that time.
"Is it so difficult for you to accept that I'm pregnant with your child?" Pepper looked at Tony, disappointment flashed in her eyes, and asked coldly.
"No, I just couldn't accept it for the moment..." Tony wiped his face and said, "You know, I'm not ready yet."
Pepper was desperate and asked, "So, what do you want to do?"
what to do? Tony was asking himself that too.
Suddenly, he will have his own son or daughter.
But he was completely unprepared to be a father. He was not sure whether he would be a qualified father.
He thought for a moment of his father, Howard.
In terms of inheritance from father to son, they can be said to have a perfect inheritance, or they can be said to be missing.
Tony has become more and more like Howard through being self-taught, whether it is habits, personality, or handling methods, but when it comes to family education, they are extremely blank.
Howard didn't care much for him when he was alive, let alone for a long time after his death.
This is one of the reasons why Tony has been slow to start a family and not think about having a child.
In this regard, he has always been a little hesitant, even afraid.
But he couldn't blame Pepper.
After all, Pepper didn't know the truth at the time and thought he was going to die! Under such circumstances, Pepper was still willing to give birth to his child, what else could Tony say?
Therefore, at this moment, his heart was complicated, hesitant, resistant, confused, moved, expecting... He could not calm down for a long time.
As time went by, Pepper became more and more disappointed.
Maybe she really expected too much. She originally hoped that Tony would change and become mature, but she didn't expect that he would still be the same as before.
This made her tighten the skirt on her thighs.
Finally, she let out a sigh of resignation and said, "I understand, Tony, I will resign from Stark tomorrow..."
"Let's get married." Tony said suddenly.
Pepper was still stuck on resigning, and was about to continue talking about the end of gratitude, but was suddenly interrupted by Tony, who was completely stunned.
"You...what did you say?" she said in disbelief.
"Let's get married, Pepper," Tony said again.
He walked up to Pepper again, knelt down on one knee, held Pepper's hand, and said:
"You know my background, Pepper. So I've always been scared about starting a family, and I really wasn't ready.
But if it were you, I think I'd give it a try, marry me, Pepper. "
Pepper withdrew her hand, covered her mouth in excitement, and looked at Tony with sparkling eyes.
And Tony scratched his head in annoyance, "Damn, it shouldn't be like this. My Stark proposal shouldn't be so hasty. He should be the most grand and romantic enough."
He looked at Pepper and said, "Otherwise, the one just now doesn't count, I will prepare a grander one another day..."
Before he could finish his words, Pepper blocked his mouth.
The two hugged each other and kissed, and Tony patted Pepper's back gently and said, "I'm sorry, I've been... too much of a jerk. I failed you, Pepper."
"It's good that you know, so you can stop being a jerk dad."
"Of course, I swear, I will be the best father in the world."
The two were deeply in love when suddenly, Jarvis's voice sounded again,
"Sorry, sir, I hate to bother you, but with your call...my program has been rewritten."
"..."
"Stark, I have something urgent..." Colson's voice came directly, and Tony picked up the phone impatiently.
"I'm Tony Stark's living dummy, please leave a message if you need anything."
"It's an emergency."
Pepper covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes sparkling, and she chuckled. Tony could only roll his eyes and said to the phone: "Then hurry up."
Then, the private elevator nearby was opened, and Coulson walked out directly.
Tony was very unhappy, "Security breach?"
"We didn't mean it."
"Maybe next time I go to S.H.I.E.L.D. I can unintentionally create some loopholes?"
Pepper was in a good mood and welcomed him warmly: "Phil, come in quickly."
Tony was jealous again, "Why do you call it so affectionate?"
"I can't stay long."
"His name is Agent."
"Come in, we're...celebrating."
"That's why he can't stay long."
After a flurry of enthusiastic and not-so-enthusiastic greetings, Coulson handed the document in his hand to Tony and said:
"Please take a look at this. The sooner the better."
In fact, if the situation wasn't too serious this time, given the current relationship between SHIELD and Tony, SHIELD would generally not seek out Tony.
This is a helpless move.
"I don't like people handing me things." Tony said proudly.
"It doesn't matter, I just like people to hand me things." Pepper was busy trying to smooth things over, took the document and handed it to Tony, saying:
"Dear, didn't you say it would be a big deal for SHIELD to find you?"
The long-lost "Dear" made Tony feel good, like a shot of blood. He said caringly: "Now... you have to go to bed early. I will take care of it next."
Then, he looked at Colson and said politely: "Wait here."
"..."
Coulson hesitated for a while, then asked: "Um, can you help us contact Black Superman?"
Tony just looked at the information without looking back: "He will appear when he wants to."
------------------
After greeting Tony, model worker Coulson didn't have time to stop, and rushed to another superhero without stopping.
Of course, compared to Tony being annoying, this time he was full of expectations and excited.
Because this mission brings his idol, Captain America Steve back to SHIELD headquarters.
Steve looked at the information SHIELD gave him. Some of it he had seen before, and some he hadn't.
"Looks like you've caused big trouble again this time," he said.
"Strictly speaking, trouble has come to us this time." Coulson replied, he said excitedly:
"Hello, it's my honor to meet you officially."
Steve gave Coulson a strange look.
Colson suddenly felt nervous and couldn't speak clearly, "Um...I mean, you were in the ice, and I went to see you when you were asleep."
Seeing Steve return his attention to the information, he suddenly became anxious, fearing that he might not perform well and leave a bad image in front of his idol, and then he would become even more incoherent.
"Seriously, it's just... I mean, it's such an honor to have you on board."
Steve just grinned and said, "Will those guys join in this time?"
"Uh..." Colson was stunned for a moment before he realized what Steve was talking about, and quickly replied:
"Because this crisis may endanger the entire earth, we must do our best! To some extent, it is time to save the world."
"I understand what you mean, but I think... I might not get along with them." Steve hesitated for a while and said.
He wasn't so irritable that he said something like Tony without him, but after what happened last time, he had already parted ways with everyone in Stark.
He felt like there was nothing much he could do with such a group of guys who only cared about eating, drinking and having fun.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that he couldn't help but go to the girl who looked like Carter twice afterwards. This evil depravity made his heart even more entangled and resistant.
Coulson didn't know these things. In his eyes, Steve was extremely brilliant.
"Captain, I feel sorry for you. They are indeed... a bit too individual and difficult to handle. So, don't they need your leadership?"
After all, Steve still couldn't let go of the safety of the world. He sighed and said, "I understand, I will try... to get along with them."
Colson was even more moved. In his eyes, Steve had to take on a heavy responsibility in order to save the world!
------------------
After Loki escaped from SHIELD's underground base, he controlled a group of militants, hijacked a group of equipment, and established a new stronghold in an abandoned underground warehouse.
Loki sat on a stone pier and looked at the people who were busy rebuilding equipment in front of him, but his mind was already far away.
The Mind Stone activated again, pulling him into the illusion.
"The Chitauri are becoming increasingly impatient..." The Chitauri leader began to push him again.
To this, Loki could only reply: "Let them be serious and I will lead them to launch a glorious battle!"
"Battle? Those weak humans?"
"They are not weak. There is also a black superman. I hope your army can be as invincible as you think."
He didn't know about Black Superman's battle with Odin, but the scene where Black Superman burned his butt left a deep impression on him.
"How dare you question us, question that existence? He handed you the scepter and gave you ancient knowledge." The Chitauri leader scolded mercilessly:
"And you are just a waste who was exiled and completely defeated..."
"No! I am the king of Asgard!" Loki responded loudly after being stabbed in pain.
In fact, becoming the vanguard of the invaders to invade the Nine Realms and becoming a traitor is very psychologically burdensome even for him now.
After all, what he did before was just to gain the approval of his father, Odin.
However, all this changed after Thor returned to Asgard. He instantly lost everything and was completely defeated.
Odin's eyes moved away from him with a look of indifference, and placed it on Thor with jealousy.
What was even more unacceptable to him was that his once stubborn brother now wanted to kill him for the throne.
Loki has never cared about the throne, but the throne is the most direct way for him to prove himself.
He just wanted to prove to Odin, his mother, and everyone in Asgard that he was Odin's most outstanding child.
At the same time, he also cared about the brother he had played with since childhood and whom he envied and envied for a while.
He only became aware of this emotion when he realized that he felt a suffocating disappointment when Thor tried to kill him.
He had thought that, anyway, Thor was at least more than that, they were brothers after all.
But now, he was wrong.
Thor betrayed him.
Loki almost turned from love to hatred. His biggest obsession at the moment was to take revenge on Thor and let Thor experience the pain he suffered, the pain of being betrayed!
Although he didn't know that Thor had already tasted the deeper pain of betrayal such as betrayal.
And this obsession also supported Loki to face that terrifying existence and supported him in returning to the Nine Realms, the Earth.
He said: "The throne should belong to me, and I will punish the guy who betrayed me as he deserves."
"Haha..." The Chitauri leader sneered: "Go ahead and lead us to launch this war. Your right-hand man will also assist you this time and help you deal with the Black Superman... .”
