Chapter 90 Ancient One: It's Over, I Can't See the Future Anymore [First Update, Please Subscribe]
"Whatever it is, it's a very convenient ability," Tony Stark said with emotion. "These magicians, no matter what ability they have, are very convenient. Whether it's that portal, reshaping time, or observing the timeline, it's simply too convenient!"
If he had these abilities, he would be able to get whatever he wanted in business.
Of course, he now has almost everything he wants, but it is still different.
It has to be said that the fact that they had such treasures and such abilities but didn't cause any trouble shows that the average level of moral quality of these mages is still very strong.
Oh, not really. It's not like they didn't come out to cause chaos. The reason they caused chaos was to sacrifice the entire earth to Dormammu.
I'm really not interested in those indigenous games that dominate the mountains.
This is the promotion that comes with a broad vision.
Either don't cause trouble, or if you do, you will destroy the world.
Inside the palace of Asgard, Thor looked at his father and said, "Father, it seems that this Ancient One is not as powerful as you say. You and Lin Feng are so afraid of her. Is it really necessary?"
Odin glanced at his son, realizing he was looking down on him. He immediately said, "If you truly think that way, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later. How many Father-level beings do you think there are in the entire universe? How bad can any Father-level being who can dominate a region be? That's a transformation of the essence of life. No matter which path they take, they are all very powerful.
"Or, let me ask you, what do you think is the reason why Asgard is so powerful that it can dominate the universe? Do you think it's your strength that makes you, the God of Thunder, respected wherever you go? With your strength, can you deal with the millions or tens of millions of troops of those technological civilizations?"
Thor fell silent. Although he was a very proud man, he was not so arrogant as to go crazy. He now remembered many strange things. For example, Asgard's military strength seemed to be sufficient, but as the commander of Asgard's army, how could he not know it?
It seems that many of the advanced military units written in the original history books, such as the Valkyries, are almost nowhere to be found, and the only ones left are very ordinary troops.
Their combat power is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary alien races, but their numbers are too small.
But Asgard, with such strength, can miraculously stand at the top of many civilizations in the universe.
That's bizarre in itself, isn't it?
"In fact, there have been many alien races on Earth for a long time, and it's not that no one in the universe knows about it. But no one, including us in Asgard, has taken action. Have you ever thought about the reason?" Odin said with a sigh.
"This..." Thor became even more silent.
If Asgard can still maintain its superficial strength, then the Earth has lost even its superficial strength.
They still look a bit civilized now, but one or two thousand years ago, they were basically just indigenous monkeys. What kind of deterrent could they have?
"You have this idea because you've conquered the entire universe over the years and haven't found many rivals who can stand up to you. So you believe you're already at the pinnacle of the universe, and even think that even a Celestial-level being is only slightly stronger than you. In reality, that's a complete mistake. The power structure of the entire universe isn't pyramid-shaped, but rather like the tip of a needle. There aren't many masters of your level, and there aren't many Celestial-level masters either. Yet, each of these masters can support an entire civilization. Numbers are irrelevant. Armies that could surround and kill you would be helpless against these Celestial-level masters. They're not on the same level of being!" Odin continued. "What you've seen of Ancient One's power is just the tip of the iceberg. It might even be the result of her letting her guard down. You haven't seen her defend herself against the demon god from another dimension, so you don't know how powerful she truly is."
Thor nodded quickly, although he still didn't know how powerful these God-level beings could be. Dormammu was just a reference.
But he could see how afraid his old father was that he would make some kind of misjudgment.
Anyway, Odin almost wanted to hit him on the head with a stick to remind him that the Father-level beings should not be provoked. He even wanted to make a list for him so that he would avoid them when he saw them in the future.
But Odin couldn't say that, because if he did that, his eldest son would be ruined. Their lineage had to constantly temper the source of divine power in endless battles. If the heart was ruined, the whole person would be ruined as well.
So Odin said this after careful consideration. He had to remind him not to act rashly, but at the same time he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.
In the large flat in New York, Lin Feng put away his diary and glanced at the brightly lit city center not far away. At this stage, the city center in the United States has not reached the level it will be later. No one even dares to walk to the city center at night, and you may encounter zero-dollar shopping at any time.
After watching for a while, Lin Feng changed his clothes and prepared to go out to do justice. The thermal vision function was just developed today, so why not give it a try?
When everyone saw that the diary had not been updated for a while, they probably realized that today's diary was over, and everyone dispersed.
At the same time, in Kamar-Taj, the Time Gem on Ancient One's chest emitted a green light. She observed the changes in the timeline every day with a calm expression.
She has seen these timelines many times. Basically, it can be said that there are countless possibilities for the timeline, and each different choice may lead to different consequences.
The reason why she was so obsessed with Stephen Strange was because she wanted to ensure that he could become the Sorcerer Supreme in the end. There were too many possibilities for the future.
There was even a scenario where he died in a car accident and did not survive, or an even more bizarre timeline. What she had to do now was to make sure this happened.
However, since some time ago, she discovered that some changes had taken place in the future, and when she looked at the future again, it was often obscure.
In the past, she could understand the cause and effect of things just by looking at the timeline, but now it is no longer possible. She has gone from being able to fully observe the timeline and even see many possibilities to now being able to only vaguely see some fragments.
This situation has never happened before. Ever since she obtained the Eye of Agamotto, the time gem, from the previous Supreme Sorcerer, the timeline has been in her control.
The reason why her strength could increase so quickly and she could repel and kill so many demons was naturally due to her observation of their weaknesses in the timeline.
She even knew a long time ago that she would have a disciple in the future named Stephen Strange.
She has also been preparing for this day, because in the future she can see, her future self will definitely die, no matter how she struggles or how many methods she uses.
Who would want to die for no reason? However, fate seemed to have played a huge joke on her, letting her know that she was doomed to die, but she had no choice but to accept this fate.
But now, fate has changed.
"This is even more blurry..." Gu Yi looked at the fragments on the timeline. She could no longer see the future clearly. She felt that it would become more blurry every day, and her control over the future was becoming weaker and weaker.
This future is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
The days passed one by one, and 2008 passed without any major incidents. Soon it was 2009. For a Chinese person like Lin Feng, the year was truly over only after the Spring Festival.
Lin Feng even took the time to visit China and returned to New York after the Chinese New Year. He even went to his family's place in his previous life, but a strange couple lived there. There was no trace of Lin Feng's presence here at all.
Although Lin Feng had anticipated all this, he was still quite disappointed when he saw it with his own eyes.
After all, this is not a parallel space-time of their original universe, but the Marvel Universe.
Although it was largely developed according to the real-life template, with the growing influence of superheroes and super criminals, it has little to do with the real America.
Although Lin Feng Investment Company has recruited some talents since its opening a few months ago, it is still in the process of exploration and has not made much money.
This made Lin Feng sigh, it turned out that it was unexpected wealth that made people rich.
Fortunately, his main investment method is still to cling to Tony Stark. With the frequent good news about Tony Stark's new energy research and development progress, the stock price in the market is also soaring. Lin Feng keeps buying, and his wealth has increased a lot compared to before.
What remains is to invest in some unicorn companies, which have been proven to be the correct development direction in the previous life, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, drones, new energy, etc. After all, it is not your own money, so you don't feel bad about spending it.
Palladium Eye would deposit a portion of the laundered funds into his account every month, so he basically had no shortage of money.
After seeing Lin Feng's strength, Palladium didn't dare to get angry in front of Lin Feng at all. He behaved well and honestly.
While Lin Feng was lamenting that the life of capitalists was so plain and boring, a group of SHIELD agents wearing thick cold-proof clothing gathered on a glacier in the far north of Russia. With the help of huge engineering machinery, a huge block of ice was cut off, and a human figure could be vaguely seen in it.
The team leader Coulson was wearing thick winter clothes. When he saw the vague figure inside, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK. He was really Captain America.
Over the past few months, they calculated the time and distance according to the direction mentioned in Lin Feng's diary and combined it with the recording at that time, and they had a rough idea of the direction. However, even so, it took several months before they finally found the person.
