Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel

In the depths of space, the White Night surveys the surroundings.

Hundreds of destroyed Chitauri fleet wreckages were neatly arranged around him, forming a large, glowing net.

After searching and confirming that none of the Chitauri had survived, Bai Ye dove back to Earth.

Bai Ye landed gently in front of Stark and said regretfully, "It's a pity we didn't run into Thanos, otherwise we could have just taken care of him."

Stark looked at Bai Ye speechlessly. Other races in the universe wished they could see half of them wiped out in their lifetime, but this guy was in a hurry to find him.

Bai Ye snapped his fingers lightly, and the next moment the group returned to the White House.

Bai Ye said, "Once everyone awakens their superpowers, you should focus on developing aviation technology. Then we can expand directly into the universe. This Earth is too small."

With a simple instruction, Bai Ye's figure disappeared.

But it is foreseeable that in the coming period, the entire Earth will be investing heavily in the aerospace field and technology development because of his words.

In the deserted New York, as White Nights left, Ebony Maw and the scientists present noticed Stark walking over from the side.

"Master, why are you back again?" Ebony Maw asked Stark with a puzzled look, holding the Mind Scepter in his hand.

"It's because Bai Ye forgot to put the Infinity Stone away and sent me back to get it. Give it to me now," Stark said with a sullen expression, but he was secretly relieved, at least he hadn't been discovered.

As he spoke, Stark also found it absurd that Ebony Maw, who had fought him to the death years ago, was now being mind-controlled and calling him master in this world.

Even more bizarrely, the Mind Stone is currently in the hands of Ebony Maw, who is being controlled by the Mind Stone. How can someone be so careless as to leave something as important as the Space Stone lying around and not even put it away after use?

"As you command." Ebony Maw bowed slightly, then used the Mind Stone's scepter to instantly close the spatial portal.

As the spatial passage disappeared, the Space Stone was revealed from within, and Ebony Maw placed it in his suitcase and handed it over.

Stark couldn't even maintain his usual habits, and hurriedly took it, while reaching out his hand and saying, "Give me the Mind Scepter too, I'll take it with me."

Holding the two gems in his hands, Stark felt a sense of unreality. Had he really gotten the two gems so easily?

"Ebony Maw, I forgot to mention earlier, remember to give the two gems to Magneto and the others for safekeeping..."

Just then, a voice came from the side. Stark's holographic projection suddenly appeared and spoke to the stunned Ebony Maw, staring blankly at himself who had appeared on the scene.

The future Stark, clutching two items, stared wide-eyed, his heart pounding.

"Mystique? What are you doing here? And you've transformed into my likeness? You failed to seduce Bai Ye a few days ago, are you trying to get close to him by looking like me?"

Stark grinned mischievously, not understanding what was going on.

But Ebony Maw immediately reacted and shouted, "Master, this guy just transformed into your appearance and took two Infinity Stones!"

As he spoke, Ebony Maw began to manipulate his telekinesis, lifting up the surrounding stone slabs and sending them flying toward the imposter.

Only then did Stark notice the two items in Mystique's hands.

Meanwhile, the guilty-looking Future Stark instantly covered his entire body in nano-armor, and the energy cannon on his chest lit up with a blinding blue light.

A beam of light instantly blasted apart the thick stone slab that Ebony Maw had pulled up with his telekinesis. Then, he extended his right hand and once again struck Ebony Maw's chest with the Mind Scepter in his hand.

In an instant, Ebony Maw was once again under mind control, only this time with a different master.

"Phew..." Futures breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had been exposed, at least he was no longer at risk of being caught.

As he raised his hand, Futures gently pressed the time-space teleportation device on his arm, quickly sending the two Infinity Stones back to their original timeline. As for his teammates, well, they were on their own.

The next moment, his armor was covered by a white and red garment, and he was about to pass through.

Just as he was about to leave, Stark's virtual projection said calmly:

"Trying to run? I don't know who you are, but if you don't want your whole family to be slaughtered, you'd better think it over before you speak."

"What do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Futures stopped pressing the button and turned to look directly at himself.

“It’s not a threat, just a piece of advice.” Stark had completely calmed down and looked at the person in front of him who looked exactly like him.

"I advise you to consider your family. I haven't reported this to Bai Ye yet, so there's still room for redemption."

"If he finds out that his things have been stolen, then things will really get out of hand."

Inside the White House, Stark is having a conversation with Kingpin, who is currently developing his abilities within an awakening device.

Rodriguez noticed the serious expression on his face and walked over to ask, "You don't look right. Is something wrong?"

“It’s nothing. A petty thief tried to steal from me, and I caught him. I was going to give him a talking-to, but if he doesn’t return it, I’ll call the police and deal with it seriously,” Stark explained, not wanting to make a big deal out of it.

Stepping out of his office and standing in the White House corridor, Stark looked at himself in the building and said:

"No matter what your reason is for wanting to steal the Infinity Stones, now put them down obediently, or I will report this the moment you leave the building."

"At that time, you can only pray that Bai Ye can find you quickly. Every second you waste on Bai Ye will increase the damage to your nine clans."

“I’m just borrowing it,” Futures explained. “I’ll return it when I’m done.”

“People need to follow procedures when they have difficulties. If everyone acted first and reported later like you, this planet would have been in chaos long ago,” said Planetary Administrator Stark.

"If you have any problems, you can give me feedback. If the reason is valid, I might be able to help you solve them."

“Yes, Master.” Ebony Maw, who had been brainwashed, also advised, “Let’s talk things out. We really can’t afford to offend White Night.”

Chapter 183 The Disparity Between Two Universes

Inside Stark Tower in New York, Ebony Maw tries to dissuade his new master.

After so many days of getting to know him, he finally understood what kind of person Bai Ye was, and like the scientists he had previously controlled, he began to offer advice.

Looking at the man in front of him who looked exactly like him, Stark in the White House couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for his talent, which is why he said a few more words.

Of course, if this guy is truly stubborn and incorrigible, then only the hell of his entire clan awaits him.

Futures glanced at Ebony Maw, then at the holographic projection.

After a fierce struggle, and considering that my personality in this universe shouldn't be too bad, I finally put down the two things I was holding.

“Well done. Now can you tell me why you stole the gems?” Stark smiled.

"To make a long story short, I am you from a parallel future. I need to travel through different timelines to collect the six Infinity Stones to save half of life in our universe," Future said with a sigh, leaving Stark completely bewildered.

"You're saying you're me from the future?" Stark looked the man up and down, completely unconvinced. "If you're still joking, I'll take this seriously."

“I’m not lying to you, I am you ten years from now,” Future said seriously.

"Impossible! You said you'd come back in ten years to retrieve the Infinity Stones and save the universe. I'm asking you, why didn't Bai Ye come in person?"

Stark shook his head in denial, saying, "The fact that things are so serious that I need to take risks means that something has definitely happened to Bai Ye. And the severity of this matter is definitely not something that can be resolved by a mere Infinity Stone. Do you agree with this logic?"

“You’re right. If Bai Ye were here, none of this would have happened, because there’s no such person as Bai Ye in my universe. Your universe is the one that’s abnormal.”

"White Nights, Magneto, Professor X, vampires—they don't exist in our universe at all."

The more Stark talked, the more aggrieved he felt, and the more envious he became of his past self. Why did he get to live a life of luxury as the governor of a planet, while he was stuck leading the charge? "On Friday, let's show him the future of our universe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jarvis's voice rang in Stark's ears: "Sir, my system has been hacked."

"What!" Stark exclaimed in surprise, then found himself seeing images appearing before his eyes, all from the other side's timeline.

“It really is me.” Stark was genuinely confused this time: “Don’t move, I’m coming right now, wait for me for 30 minutes.”

“Forget it, with your current movement speed—which won’t be upgraded after the Mark III—it’ll take you too long to get here,” Futures said. “You’re at the White House right now, right? I’ll come find you myself.”

After saying that, Future, clad in his armor, soared into the sky, leaving the building without touching the Infinity Stones again, and flew towards the White House in Washington.

This brief demonstration immediately convinced Stark of about 70-80%, and his mind began to waver.

Meanwhile, near the Sanctuary in New York, the Hulk and Ant-Man quietly arrived on the rooftop and stood in front of the door, ready to push it open and enter.

"You've come to the wrong timeline. If you're looking for Dr. Strange, he's already left New York like the other citizens," the Ancient One suddenly reminded her.

Since Bai Ye released the "Everyone Can Practice Internal Energy" technique, the medical field has gradually declined. Surgical procedures that used to seem important can now be directly reversed through internal energy cultivation. Unless it's a major accident, nobody goes to the hospital.

So Strange no longer works as a doctor in this universe; instead, he has transferred all his assets and started investing in the stock market.

After these past few months, due to various amateurish operations, they have lost everything, far worse than in the original timeline. Gu Yi is now ready to accept this refugee.

"Who are you?" The group looked at the bald woman in the yellow robe in front of them with suspicion, and immediately noticed the Eye of Agamotto on her chest.

“You can call me Ancient One.” Ancient One said, gently taking out the Time Stone and handing it over, “Take it.”

"Is it really that casual?" All three of them looked incredulous, unable to believe that they could obtain the Time Stone without even knowing who the other party was. Was the security in this world really that lax?

Gu Yi simply smiled mysteriously and offered no explanation.

……

Inside the White House, Stark looked at himself, now dressed in a nanotech suit, descending from the sky: "Now, tell me specifically, what exactly happened?"

"Simply put, it's about a guy named Thanos who collected all six Infinity Stones and randomly wiped out half of the people in the universe."

"This includes half the population of Earth, including Hawkeye's family." The future Stark is preparing to play the emotional card.

"Thanos again?" Stark hadn't expected this to be related to Thanos, then asked in confusion, "Hawkeye? Who's that?"

"You don't even know Hawkeye? What about S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Futures looked shocked. The time was too short, and he only had a general understanding of the direction of this universe.

"They conspired with Hydra to rebel and were wiped out. Their leader, Nick Fury, couldn't even be found." Stark said some outrageous things.

"You're saying S.H.I.E.L.D. colluded with Hydra? How is that possible!" Futures exclaimed incredulously; the history of this universe was simply too far-fetched. "What about the Hulk and Captain America?"

"The Hulk was certainly wiped out along with S.H.I.E.L.D., but... is Captain America still alive?"

Futures fell completely silent. He suspected that his luxurious lifestyle in this universe was obtained by sacrificing the luck of other superheroes.

After learning from his future self what had happened in the neighboring universe, Stark leaned on the railing and fell silent, never expecting the situation in the future, without White Night, to be so dire.

At the same time, he was also secretly glad that he hadn't taken the matter too seriously, otherwise, by the time Bai Ye found out, the remaining half of the people in the opposite universe might have been wiped out.

"Now you understand the situation. Without the Infinity Stones, the other half of my universe's life cannot return. Although you and I have different experiences, we have the same personality. You should help me, right?"

“This is a huge matter. I’ll go ask Bai Ye,” Stark said after a moment’s hesitation.

"What!" Future was shocked.

I've already said all this, and the other party still wants to report it to Bai Ye. Are they really trying to drive me to a dead end?

"Don't get agitated. Different purposes lead to different outcomes."

Stark smiled and said, "It's just borrowing an Infinity Stone. I'll just tell him."

As he spoke, Stark casually tagged Deep Blue in the group chat.
