"Deprive Allens of all his superpowers and send him back to his original timeline."
In 2023, the Avengers gathered in Wakanda. Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff, who had awakened the power of the Origin Magic, spoke words that could reverse cause and effect and alter reality itself. Across time and space, Allens' very existence was rewritten by that overwhelming power.
By 2014, the terrifying energy of the Origin Magic engulfed the entire Earth. Cause and effect twisted under its influence as Wanda's magic frantically reshaped Allens' abilities and reality.
Rumble—
High above New York City, the Skrulls' massive warship pierced through a blue energy curtain. Ultron, now towering hundreds of meters tall, flew rapidly into the ship with Scarlet Witch in his grasp.
Inside, the numerous duplicates that Allens had prepared vanished one after another. The blue curtain in the sky dissipated into the wind.
"Ultron, initiate the reduction plan."
Allens' cold voice echoed inside Ultron's mind. Obeying the command, Ultron opened a compartment in his abdomen and withdrew a small test tube filled with shimmering liquid.
A faint hiss sounded as Ultron inserted the test tube into the Skrull ship's core. Instantly, the entire warship began to shrink, condensing rapidly until it was no larger than a keychain.
Allens had long extracted Pym Particles from the Quantum Suit and entrusted them to Ultron, preparing this move for a critical moment.
Originally, Allens believed that destroying New York would force the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, to intervene.
Even if she didn't, Allens expected Dormammu, lurking within the Dark Dimension, to act and drag the Earth into his realm.
But what Allens hadn't foreseen was that it would be the future Scarlet Witch—the one who had awakened the Origin Magic—who used that same power to alter reality, banish him from the timeline, and strip away most of his abilities.
Click.
Allens caught the keychain floating toward him. His gaze was deep and calm as the superpowers within his body vanished one by one. Yet, he did not panic.
His true trump card was the Heroes Rise System. Even if every power were taken from him, as long as the system remained, his ascent was inevitable.
Boom.
The void trembled violently. Origin Magic manifested as divine law, rewriting the power within him and expelling Allens from that timeline entirely.
Swish.
Allens' vision blurred. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in his small, cramped apartment.
He looked around at the familiar yet foreign surroundings and exhaled softly.
"So… Scarlet Witch used the Origin Magic to banish me."
Back in 2007.
A month after his initial time travel.
"Interesting… The Marvel world is far more intriguing than any other."
A cold, faint smile appeared on Allens' face as he thought of Wanda's power. He raised his right hand, and a metallic spaceship-shaped pendant materialized in his palm, gleaming faintly.
After all, the Origin Magic unleashed by Scarlet Witch wasn't at the same level as in the comics. Though most of his powers had been erased, three still remained.
Allens walked over to the mirror and studied his reflection. The yellow Mind Stone on his forehead still existed, though its light had dimmed.
"It's been sealed…" he muttered.
He could sense the Mind Stone's presence, though its energy was suppressed. The only reason he still retained three abilities was because the Mind Stone had counteracted part of the Origin Magic's influence. In doing so, however, it had fallen into a temporary seal.
"The ability to perceive the laws of all things still exists," he noted with a small smile.
The power of insight—once belonging to Sera—had not been erased. But Allens showed no surprise. He had already foreseen this outcome.
He lifted his right hand, and the glass of water on the table floated smoothly into his palm. His psychokinesis had survived as well, though greatly weakened.
Besides telekinesis, his last remaining ability was the Skrull shapeshifting power.
Allens then clenched his fist and punched the wall. A deep hole the size of a bowl appeared instantly.
"My physical strength is intact… The Super Soldier Serum remains."
He retracted his fist, eyes gleaming coldly. In the previous timeline, he had absorbed numerous powers—and even killed Captain America, Steve Rogers, to claim his enhanced physique.
Looking down at the spaceship-shaped keychain, Allens finally felt at ease. Ultron had successfully shrunk the Skrull warship using the Pym Particles. Inside it were Ultron, Scarlet Witch, and the Skrulls who had pledged allegiance to him.
However, Allens had no intention of restoring the ship to full size yet. It was 2007, and he had to wait—for the right moment. The moment when everything would begin again.
Yes, from the moment he was expelled back to 2007, Allens had already devised his next plan.
This time, he would use the Skrulls to launch a true Secret Invasion.
Meanwhile, in 2023, at the Wakandan palace, Wanda Maximoff slowly opened her eyes and nodded.
"Yes… The crisis is over. We did it."
Spider-Man, Peter Parker, was the first to cheer. The other Avengers joined in, relief washing over them. The burden of their long struggle finally lifted.
"Phew, we won. The super Allens has been killed."
"Without his powers, he's just another ordinary man."
Thor laughed heartily, pulling a bottle of red wine from the storage cabinet to celebrate.
But Doctor Strange stood apart, frowning deeply.
"Have we really won…? Then why does my soul still tremble?"
Without the Time Stone, Strange couldn't peer into the timelines. He couldn't confirm whether victory was truly theirs—but an uneasy feeling gnawed at his heart.
