I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

If we don't do this, everything will go back to square one, and he will completely forget everything that happened here, just like everyone else.

This was the first major event he had encountered since becoming the Sorcerer Supreme; how could he allow himself to forget it?

After all, he was once a holder of gemstones, so it wasn't difficult for him to do this.

Only after seeing that he, his mentor and friend, the Mage King, and all the other arcane mages had been resurrected did he finally feel relieved.

Then the portal opened.

...

new York,

Lei Ming hovered ten thousand meters in the air, his left arm encircling the unconscious Elena.

With his right hand manipulating the Time Stone, he restored everything beneath his feet to its state at the beginning of the battle…

It looks very simple.

In reality, this is a very delicate operation.

The fighting affected hundreds of countries, causing disasters and resulting in hundreds of millions of deaths!

Even he would need to be highly focused to restore it to its original state perfectly.

That's how thunder is.

Either don't do it at all, or if you do it, there's no room for the slightest mistake!

Strange clearly understood this as well, so when he arrived in New York through the portal, he didn't disturb Strange's manipulation of the Infinity Stones.

It just flew in the distance, observing from afar.

at last,

Only after a hint of fatigue crept across Lei Ming's brow did he withdraw the power of the Time Stone.

At this point, all the humans who died in the battle, as well as the cities that were destroyed, the sky, and the earth all returned to their original state.

As for the humans, they had all lost all memories of these events and continued to live their lives according to their own paths.

Everything is calm.

After doing all that, Lei Ming also felt a little tired.

After all, he hadn't used his brain for a long time... and he didn't like to use his brain, so suddenly doing such a mentally demanding activity really made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

He retrieved the gem and gently landed on the ground with Elena in his arms.

The street before me was bustling with traffic, pedestrians hurried along, and everything was in perfect order.

As if nothing had happened.

Strange arrived beside him at that moment, let out a long sigh, and said:

"I knew no one but you could do this..."

Lei Ming said calmly, "Actually, none of this should have happened in the first place..."

"But thankfully you salvaged everything."

Strange nodded, not understanding the meaning behind Thunder's words.

Little did he know that if Thunder hadn't intervened and taken the gem, Dormammu might never have descended upon Earth...

Because in the original timeline, it was Strange who trapped Dormammu in his own time loop, forcing him to give up devouring Earth and return to the Dark Dimension.

Thinking about this, Lei Ming also didn't quite understand.

Am I really that hated?

Strange got away with messing with Dormammu, but when he tried to do it himself, he messed up.

Is this discrimination against people from other places?

never mind,

Anyway, Dormammu is dead, so there's no point in thinking about these things anymore.

"Would you like a drink?"

Strange suddenly spoke, and at the same time cast a spell, opening a portal.

Lei Ming turned his head and looked behind the portal. Judging from its construction style and design... it should be the Sanctum Sanctum in New York.

It is also Strange's stronghold.

He glanced at Elena, who was still unconscious in his arms, then stepped into the portal, with Strange following closely behind.

……

After settling Elena in the guest room

Lei Ming followed Strange to his 'office'.

A loft located on the top floor of the Supreme Sanctuary.

The room was filled with all sorts of strangely shaped, bizarrely designed magical artifacts of unknown purpose, resembling a small museum.

It's exactly the same as in the movie.

On the display case, a bronze statue with an oriental style caught Lei Ming's attention.

He stopped in front of the statue and carefully examined it.

It's only the size of a palm, with a simple and antique appearance; it's undoubtedly an antique.

Its shape, however, looked somewhat familiar to Lei Ming.

Wearing a golden headband, standing on auspicious clouds, and holding a long staff...

Isn't that Sun Wukong?

But speaking of which... there is a Sun Wukong in the Marvel Universe.

at this time,

Strange removed his cloak, then walked to the cabinet, took out two empty glasses, and strolled over to Thunder, handing him the glasses.

"Would you like something to drink...?"

Strange was about to speak when he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Because Lei Ming's cup was already full.

It's still a mellow whisky.

Fresh foam is bubbling up on top.

Strange raised an eyebrow, glancing at Thunder beside him, who was calmly holding a cup while examining the monkey statue.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He had intended to perform a trick of turning an empty glass into wine, but he hadn't expected his opponent to know the same thing...

interesting.

Subsequently,

The two sat down on the sofa and started chatting.

What are your plans after this?

Strange asked, taking another sip of his stout.

"What to do?"

Lei Ming remained calm.

"Although you managed to salvage the situation in time..."

But let's not forget that on the other side of the world, those unaffected by the Time Stone have been watching what's happening here closely.

Soon they will know that the disaster began with you, and it will end with you.

Maybe I'll see you on the headlines tonight…

"So what?"

Lei Ming remained calm. "I've already taken remedial measures. No one was injured, and besides..."

I don't care about people's opinions, and as for how they report on me in the news...

Let them be.

Thunder's indifferent attitude left Strange speechless.

After a long pause, he sighed and said:

What I mean is,

Your existence is too dangerous for this world...

I don't want you to accidentally 'get angry' because of some extreme remarks.

Then, just like before…

Strange paused at this point.
