After I leave, you can snap your fingers with this glove, reversing time and restoring the world to its pre-nuclear war state. The Mind Stone and souls of the Avengers and mutants whose minds have been affected by the Joker can also be restored to normal. Many of them are not bad people. But this must be done by you, because this world needs a savior, but also a villain.

[As you spoke, your other self's stern face finally broke into a smile, and you said, "But before everything ends, I still want to have a good fight with you. After all, opportunities to fight an opponent of equal strength are rare."]

[The story explanation mode ends and re-enters the simulation.]

You said nothing, merely bumping your fists together in a gesture of acceptance. The pressure your other self, after fusing the six Infinity Stones, exerted on you was on par with the Immortal Hulk. It's said that the Infinity Gauntlet, when fully activated, could even fold the universe.

[Then, you engaged in a fierce duel in the separate time and space created by the Time Stone and the Space Stone. This battle was even more dangerous than the previous battle with the Immortal Hulk. After the Infinity Stones were fully fused, they could not only truly harm you physically, but also inflict a heavy blow to your mind and soul.]

Neither of you held back. You unleashed a whirlwind of punches: serious punches, continuous serious punches, continuous super serious punches, full-strength punches, continuous full-strength punches, serious headbutts, full-strength headbutts! After two full days of fighting, your other self was sent flying by a single full-strength punch. The aftermath shattered the special space, and the winds of your punches even engulfed the entire Kamar-Taj.

"I lost." The other you smiled and said calmly.

Then, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. With a flash of light, a gaping hole suddenly appeared in the square of Kamar-Taj, revealing a myriad of bizarre sights. Modern buildings, ancient ones, Western and Eastern, humans, elves, orcs, and even dragons. You took a single glance before averting your gaze. It was akin to an infinite world, a world you could travel between.

"Would you consider coming with me? Perhaps there are people in other worlds waiting for you to save them, and they too need a hero. Your other self invites you, but you shake your head indifferently. After peace is restored to the world, what you want more is a relatively peaceful life. If only you could play games and stay home until you die."

The other you took off the Infinity Gauntlet and tossed it to you, then sank into space. A moment later, space shrank again and vanished. Time, which had just been stopped, resumed its flow.

What's going on? The other Avengers stared in confusion at the now-vanished Dark Avenger Zhou Ning, and at you, clutching the Infinity Gauntlet. They could only assume you'd saved the world once again. But you remained silent, simply contemplating the Infinity Gauntlet. According to another you, only a strong will could grant the user their wish; otherwise, the gauntlet would fail. Furthermore, if the body couldn't withstand the gauntlet's strength, it would completely shatter and cause death.

If even heroes don't dare to shoulder their responsibilities, who else can step up? You snap your fingers first without hesitation.

The first wish is to rewind the world's timeline back to 2020, before the nuclear war. Most humans will be resurrected, and the world will return to peace.

This wish involves time, consuming countless life forces and potentially even shortening your lifespan. However, you don't care, and you're too lazy to think about it. Just do it first. From a bird's-eye view, you can see time suddenly begin to reverse. Collapsed buildings are restored, broken tiles return to their original positions, the fallen Statue of Liberty stands upright again, the radioactive fallout begins to recede, and the launched nuclear bombs reverse back to the depot. The world begins to fill with greenery again, and the streets are filled with people again. The newly resurrected people look at each other in confusion, and smiles fill their faces again.

[We've done our best, and may world peace reign!] Then you snapped your fingers again, and the dark Avengers, whose faces had been gloomy just moments ago, shuddered and instantly returned to normal, wondering what was happening. The Hulk, who was busy fleeing, suddenly transformed back into Bruce Banner, his face filled with confusion.]

[The second wish is to use the Mind Stone and Soul Stone to restore the Avengers and mutants whose minds have been corrupted by the Joker to normal. In this way, the two major super villain organizations in the future will naturally disintegrate.]

You then snap your fingers a third time, wishing your gaming skills would improve dramatically so you could always buy discounted items. But this time, nothing happened, much to your disappointment. You couldn't help but be surprised!

As your wishes come true one by one, the world returns to normal, just as you'd hoped. It's vibrant and full of life, as if nothing had happened. But sadly, no one remembers you, no one remembers what happened. You gaze at the skyscrapers of New York City, Spider-Man happily swinging between them; Winston, in his Iron Monkey suit, flies low to the ground, doing justice everywhere. Not far away, Tony Stark's driver, Happy, drives past in a flashy new car, even running a red light. A young Dave Lizewski, not having become Kick-Ass, is carrying his schoolbag and preparing to go to school.

[This is also good. For the first time in several years, your expressionless face showed a bright smile. You have achieved: Brave New World.]

But it's not like no one remembers you. In the bustling crowd, Doctor Strange, wearing a red and black cloak, comes to you and asks you softly: No one remembers what you've done. Do you regret it?

What's there to regret? You didn't become a hero because of a few comments from people. You became a hero because you wanted to be one. You're just a hero out of interest.

In the years that followed, you rented a cheap apartment in New York City, reconnected with a friend named Dave Lizewski, and occasionally stepped out as a hero to fight supervillains. Later, you reconnected with Tony Stark and Peter Parker, and often played games together. However, to your chagrin, you were still the worst at the game, constantly being teased and making you want to punch them!

In 2030, you, a homebody, married a gentle and beautiful Chinese immigrant girl on a blind date. Your life was quite happy. You both shared a love for shopping at discount supermarkets. You lived together for many years and had two children, a boy and a girl. Your life was quite fulfilling.

[On February 2087, 2, you passed away quietly in your sleep at the age of 7.]
