Upon realizing Raina was pregnant, Kyle couldn't sit still. "High Lord, you may leave now," he said, his voice firm.
This was clearly a dismissal.
"Understood. I'll leave immediately." The High Lord quickly stood up, eager to depart.
"Don't forget what you promised me," Kyle reminded him.
The High Lord's mouth twitched slightly. "Of course, I won't forget. A year from now, I will enter the 'Void.' There, I will wait for the person you mentioned. No matter how many years pass, I will never step out of the Void until they arrive."
Kyle nodded.
With a wave of his hand, the High Lord was engulfed in a spatial vortex and forcibly teleported away.
...
Kyle quietly entered the first floor of the mansion and found Raina in the kitchen, wearing an apron, looking every bit the charming housewife as she focused on preparing lunch.
His heart warmed. He walked over and embraced her from behind.
Placing his hand gently on Raina's lower abdomen, Kyle felt the life stirring within. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked softly.
"I was afraid you wouldn't be happy," Raina confessed, hesitating, her lip caught between her teeth.
"How could I not be happy? I'm thrilled! Who wouldn't want their own child?" Kyle was speechless. He gently caressed her slightly swollen belly, letting her relax completely.
"That's great." Raina rested her head on his chest, a relieved smile gracing her lips. "I have a feeling it's a boy."
"Then it will definitely be a healthy and handsome boy," Kyle declared, his tone filled with certainty.
"Of course, he's our child." Raina playfully blinked, knowing that a child with Kyle's genes would be anything but ordinary.
His bloodline pulsed with golden flames.
No cosmic elder, giant race, or divine lineage could compare to its nobility.
"By the way," Kyle seemed to remember something. He casually flipped his hand, summoning the golden crown from his spatial card space.
The very crown that even the experienced High Lord couldn't help but covet.
"What is this..." Raina recognized the crown immediately.
"Just a toy for our unborn child," Kyle smiled, bringing the crown close to Raina's abdomen. Then, something miraculous happened: the crown dissolved into golden light and gently merged into Raina's belly.
Raina sighed, "You spoil him too much. Boys shouldn't be pampered like that."
This act would undoubtedly mark their unborn child as royalty, for he was born a king.
Kyle smiled indifferently; his child could be spoiled as much as he pleased.
"Kyle." Raina placed her pale pink hands on her abdomen and said softly, "I miss Lucy and the others."
"I miss them too," Kyle acknowledged, falling silent for a moment. "The Marvel universe has finally stabilized. It's time for us to go back."
There was still one last thing to do!
The six Infinity Stones, now stabilizing the chaotic universe, had designated places for five of them. Only one stone remained.
"I'll go somewhere. After I return, we'll leave here and head to the Marvel universe that truly belongs to us."
After comforting Raina, Kyle headed directly to the Milky Way's Blue Planet in the Marvel human world.
Earth.
But this was Earth from tens of thousands of years ago.
Kyle arrived alone, finding himself in the midst of the Ice Age. The landscape was a stark expanse of ice and snow, with frost petals gently falling from the sky.
Human civilization had yet to emerge.
Kyle, dressed in summer attire, stood out against the icy backdrop. He stood atop a snow-capped mountain, releasing his extraordinary mental perception, and soon pinpointed the object of his search somewhere on Earth.
With a slight motion, his body vanished from the mountaintop.
The next moment, he appeared at the entrance of an ice cave on the opposite side of the Earth.
The cave was clearly man-made, with flickering firelight illuminating its interior. Three or four humanoid figures, resembling apes, huddled together for warmth. They wore furs and carried spears crafted from stone and wood.
Upon seeing Kyle suddenly appear at the cave entrance, they froze, then quickly knelt before him, uttering incoherent words of worship.
These must be the ancestors of humanity.
Watching them treat him as a divine being, Kyle smiled. It didn't matter to him.
Kyle focused his attention on a young primitive man among them and used his psychic abilities to gesture for him to approach. The young man, though terrified, stumbled forward, urged on by his tribe, and knelt before Kyle.
"Good mental energy, you're the one," Kyle said, focusing on the young man and lightly tapping his forehead with two fingers.
From Kyle's unique perspective, dozens of Ability Card abilities flowed into the young man's body.
Kyle had now fully mastered his Extracting Card ability – not only could he instantly replicate and extract others' abilities, but he could also directly bestow certain Ability Cards upon someone.

[Spell - Mirror Dimension]
...
After imparting some basic magical abilities from the Sorcerer, along with essential knowledge and skills, to the young primitive man, Kyle withdrew his fingers and said in a deep voice, "From now on, you will be the first generation of Earth's guardians. You will support humanity and prevent Earth from suffering catastrophic destruction due to the supernatural."
The young man nodded, his understanding hazy.
"And this..." Kyle opened his right hand, revealing a glowing green gem resting in his palm.
It was the Time Stone.
This stone would suppress Earth's and humanity's fate. When Odin later brought the Space Stone to Earth, the combined influence of the Time and Space Stones would, over millennia, make Earth the center of the Marvel Universe.
The young primitive man solemnly accepted the Time Stone. Even after Kyle departed, he remained kneeling in the snow.
From that moment on, he would become the first Sorcerer, leading humanity's rise, battling nature and other animals, and laying the foundation for incredible ancient civilizations.
Eventually, this stone would come into the hands of a Sorcerer named "Ancient One."
By then, another legend would rise.
This was the cycle Kyle had set in motion.
With that, the chaotic timeline of the Marvel universe was repaired, and his duty as a creator was complete.
Kyle, Raina, and their unborn child would, like Caesar from the X-Men universe, begin their journey home.
