The battle finally ceased as the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy were freed from mind control.
Kevin finally had some free time to rest; for now, he didn't have to worry about any threats in this Marvel Universe.
Ultron was dead, Infinity Ultron would not appear, Thanos had his head cut off by Gamora, and Ego also died at the hands of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Aside from the possibility of Kang's Dynasty appearing in the future, there would basically be no other villains in this universe who could threaten Kevin for the time being.
Hela might be one, and Gorr the God Butcher, who would appear later, might also be one, but these were all people Thor had to deal with, unrelated to Kevin.
The formidable villains on Earth were primarily the powerful beings from other dimensions, especially Dormammu, who coveted the Earth dimension, but Doctor Strange would deal with him, so Kevin didn't need to get involved.
In short, the future of this Marvel Universe could be said to be bright, and the shadow that had been weighing on Kevin's head completely dissipated, giving Kevin time to organize his gains.
"No matter how I calculate it, I feel like I'm at a loss..."
During the sorting process, Kevin found that he seemed to be at a bit of a loss.
Originally, the skill points obtained from killing Ultron were nine, which greatly enriched Kevin's skill point count; coupled with the six skill points previously gained from eliminating Ego and saving Yondu, fifteen points were enough for Kevin to light up many skills.
But the problem was, Kevin used seven points to kill Ultron with his 'trump card'.
Three were used to bring people over, one to return to the Marvel World, and three more to pause time in the The Boys world.
In the end, he only gained eight skill points.
Not to mention lighting up a high-level skill, it wasn't even enough to unlock the mission world for the second profession.
To unlock the mission world for the second profession, ten skill points were needed, and Kevin was still short by two.
Incidentally, Kevin wanted to unlock the second profession not because he was genuinely fond of magic.
Although magic was indeed very interesting and fun to play with, especially the portal and Mirror Dimension, which were incredibly convenient...
Ahem, but in short, the reason Kevin wanted to unlock the second profession was that one of the prerequisites for the upcoming second advancement, Ocean Lord, was to unlock the second profession.
From this, it could be inferred that if there was a 'third advancement' after this, Kevin might also need to master a third profession.
Therefore, Kevin came to a conclusion.
"In that case, it seems I need to engage with all three professions; choosing one first merely establishes the early combat path and doesn't affect the final outcome."
Although the three paths presented by the skill tree were indeed a choice of three, this did not mean that once one was chosen, it was set in stone and other professions could not be selected.
The initial choice only determined how you would fight before you grew stronger.
By the way, shouldn't this kind of thing be reminded before the profession change?
Kevin really wanted to complain.
Kevin had hesitated for a long time when choosing among the three professions; although he was curious about magic, for more self-preservation, Kevin had to choose the Fighter profession.
If he had known earlier that he didn't really need to choose and could eventually have all three professions, Kevin wouldn't have been so conflicted then.
The profession change to Ocean Lord was too far off for Kevin at the moment.
After all, he first needed to sort out the current second profession.
Currently, Kevin was two skill points short of unlocking the mission world for the second profession; these two skill points weren't many, Kevin could probably get them by just skimming through a plot.
However, Kevin certainly wasn't satisfied with just getting two skill points; he decided to go big.
Kevin decided to create the Infinity Stone Crusher!
That's right, it was the crusher that Gamora and Tony jointly created in a certain universe, capable of crushing the Infinity Stones!
One Infinity Stone was worth at least three skill points, so six would be eighteen!
Anyway, the Infinity Stones were useless to Kevin, especially the Reality Stone, which now just stayed in Kevin's body and wouldn't leave, causing damage to Kevin's body every moment.
Although it didn't hurt, and with Kevin's recovery ability, this much damage was almost negligible.
But it was indeed quite annoying.
So Kevin decided to destroy them all, turning all the Infinity Stones into his skill points.
In the future, if he went to other universes, he could continue similar operations.
Turn all the Infinity Stones into his skill points!
From now on, the Infinity Stones would be Kevin's 'recharge' channel for obtaining skill points!
Before that, Kevin would first contact Thor and ask him to find a way to remove the Reality Stone from his body.
After removing it, he would then embed it in a ring and show it to the Collector.
Kevin hadn't forgotten his agreement with the Collector.
He would definitely return the Reality Stone, but after returning it, whether the Asgardians would ask him for it, Kevin wouldn't care.
Anyway, he had fulfilled his promise to return the stone, and the rest was none of his business.
"I really am a good person."
Kevin thought with a hint of schadenfreude, and contacted Thor.
...
Everything settled, and everyone went about their own business.
The Guardians of the Galaxy followed Kevin outside Earth, seemingly waiting for him.
Thinking that he would still need to collect various materials in the universe to build the Infinity Stone Crusher, Kevin did not let the Guardians of the Galaxy leave, but instead had them stay on standby outside Earth.
Actually, Kevin wanted them to come along, especially Star-Lord; his grandfather was still alive, and if he wanted to, he could return to Earth to meet his grandfather.
But he himself was unwilling, and Kevin couldn't do anything about it.
With the Guardians of the Galaxy staying outside Earth, Kevin arrived at the Avengers' new base and told Thor his thoughts.
"Infinity Stone Crusher? Can such a thing be made?"
Thor asked with a frown.
He had never heard of such a thing, and if Kevin hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have thought of destroying the Infinity Stones.
The Infinity Stones were too precious; the six Infinity Stones that existed since the beginning of creation, anyone who obtained them would cherish them as treasures, not want to destroy them.
"Probably..."
Kevin was also a bit unsure.
The Infinity Stone Crusher was something made by Gamora and Iron Man Tony from another universe, through the forging system of the Dwarves.
But while every universe seemed roughly the same, some subtle details were different.
For example, Gamora's Infinity Stone Crusher could not crush the stones on Infinity Ultron, only temporarily crush them.
In another universe, it might not even be possible to make a crusher.
Because of this, Kevin temporarily held doubts about whether a crusher could be made in this universe, but trying it out wouldn't cost anything anyway.
Kevin was silent, and Captain America, who was also at the meeting, thought aloud:
"If it can be made, it's best to make it. The power of the Infinity Stones is too great, and we can't guarantee that they will always be under our protection."
"That's exactly my thought," Kevin added, "Currently, all sources of chaos in the universe basically stem from the Infinity Stones; as long as the Infinity Stones are destroyed, the universe can be a bit safer."
Kevin's true purpose was certainly not to save the universe, but he knew what to say to gain the favor of the Avengers.
As expected, Kevin's words made the Avengers nod in agreement.
Because Kevin had helped them, the Avengers already had a good impression of him; now, with these words, the Avengers' good impression of Kevin increased even more.
If this were a game with a game system, Kevin would surely have received a 'Avengers Reputation +1000' prompt.
Hearing everyone say so, Thor could only nod and say:
"Alright then, I'll go ask Eitri... the leader of the Dwarves. He might have a way."
"I'll go with you too. The Reality Stone is stuck inside me and won't come out, you guys need to find a way to get it out."
"Uh... actually, we Asgardians don't have a way to remove the aether. The ones who were responsible for removing the aether back then were the Dark Elves."
Thor said this with some embarrassment, and seeing Kevin's stiff expression, he quickly explained:
"But we have already obtained the legacy of the Dark Elves, perhaps Asgard has already deciphered their technology."
"It better be, I don't want this thing staying in my body forever."
Kevin frowned.
The Reality Stone could indeed make Kevin a god who creates everything in the Marvel World, even a fully realized Scarlet 'Wizard'.
But this thing was purely external, and could only be used in the Marvel World.
Even if it could be used outside the Marvel World, Kevin would hesitate, but it wasn't entirely unacceptable to have a new tenant in his body.
However, this thing belonged to a field item and would also cause harm to the body.
Kevin didn't want to shorten his lifespan because of such a thing.
Speaking of which... his lifespan should be quite long now, right...? After all, his physique had already reached this level.
After relaxing, Kevin's thoughts drifted.
Having decided on their next itinerary, Thor was about to take Kevin to Asgard.
But before they set off, Carol followed them.
"I suppose the two gentlemen wouldn't mind a lady accompanying them?"
Captain Marvel Carol smiled and inserted herself between the two.
Thor winked at Carol, then turned his gaze to Kevin, looking at him suspiciously.
"?" Kevin was puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that? Ms. Danvers isn't here for me..."
Kevin thought Thor had misunderstood and was about to defend himself, but the next second he heard Carol say:
"No, I am here for you."
"???"
Kevin's eyes widened, but Thor showed a meaningful smile. He watched the two of them step back two paces and said:
"Why don't you two talk? I'll go back and prepare."
Saying that, Thor shouted towards the sky: "Heimdall!"
"Wait--!"
Kevin tried to call out to him, but the next second the Bifrost descended from the sky, teleporting him away from his spot.
On the lawn outside the Avengers base, the imprint of the Bifrost teleportation appeared.
Looking at that imprint, Kevin sighed helplessly, finishing his unspoken words:
"At least give me the coordinates of Asgard..."
"I know the coordinates of Asgard. I'll go with you."
Carol stepped forward and said.
A faint smile hung on her face, her gaze constantly roving over Kevin, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
"I say, Ms. Danvers, I imagine you're not the type to easily fall for someone, are you?"
"This... I can see you're quite confident in your appearance, but don't worry, I don't have any thoughts of finding a boyfriend for now, and you're not my type either."
"Oh, that's for the best then, since I have a girlfriend."
Kevin's relieved expression made Carol can't help but frown.
But her brow quickly smoothed out, and she interjected with a question:
"You have a girlfriend? Then I'm curious, what planet is your girlfriend from? And... what planet are you from?"
As Carol spoke the last part, her gaze became unusually serious.
And at this moment, Kevin understood Carol's purpose.
She was here to inquire about his identity.
