I've recovered. I don't know why, but it seems my Ability just suddenly came back," Claire said, nodding.
"That's good!"
Su Zhan nodded. It seemed the system was quite effective this time. Since Claire's Ability had recovered, he could now leave this instance with peace of mind.
Chapter 0139: Time Travel After Returning
"Things are a bit complicated. Simply put, I made you appear here and recover your Ability. As for the reason, I'll explain it to you later. For now, I'll send you away and you'll retain your memories." Su Zhan cupped Claire's face with both hands, making her look at him. "Do you trust me?"
"I trust you!" Claire said earnestly, looking at Su Zhan.
"That's good. Next time we meet, I'll show you a new World!" Su Zhan lowered his head and kissed Claire's lips. After they parted, Su Zhan had Claire leave the fighting arena, and then he followed her out.
"System, send me out of the instance."
Su Zhan said in a deep voice. A moment later, the scenery before him suddenly changed, and he was back in the hotel room he had been staying in before entering the instance.
Looking at the room's furnishings, it was clear someone had been inside. He had only booked the room for seven days, so perhaps someone had checked it after the time was up.
Su Zhan was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he tried to use his positioning Ability. The locations of Skye, Blink, and others flashed through his mind one by one. This Ability was indeed good.
With a slight curve of his lips, Su Zhan vanished into thin air.
The next second, Su Zhan appeared in Skye's room.
Skye, who had just changed and turned around to rest, suddenly saw someone appear in her room and was startled. Only after seeing who it was did she sigh in relief: "You scared me! When did you come in? How did I not hear anything?"
"Just now. I'm sorry, my dear. I said I'd stay here with you for a while, but then I disappeared for so long again," Su Zhan said apologetically, wrapping his arm around Skye's waist and kissing her.
Skye shook her head: "It's alright. I know you have things to do. But… do you know? Simmons now has superpowers. I was thinking, if… I mean, if I also had superpowers, maybe I could help you."
Su Zhan could hear the strong desire in Skye's heart. He looked at Skye seriously. "Trust me, you will!"
"I'll come find you later and explain all of this in detail. For now, I still have some matters to handle."
"Mm." Skye nodded, but then realized that Su Zhan had vanished before her eyes.
She reached out her hand in confusion, touching the surroundings, not understanding how Su Zhan had disappeared.
Seven months ago, during the Battle of New York, Coulson was stabbed by Loki, suffering a ruptured heart, and was sent to a secret Base called 'The Guest House' for treatment. The medicine used to treat him was called GH325, a serum extracted from an alien body.
Su Zhan's goal was this serum!
He planned to go back in time, to when Coulson was being treated, to find out the location of 'The Guest House,' get the serum, and ideally, take the alien body as well.
After leaving Skye, Su Zhan had already appeared in New York.
However, it was New York six months ago. The reason for the one-month delay was to ensure that Coulson was being treated at 'The Guest House' during that time. He only needed to pinpoint his location to know where The Guest House was.
"How could he be here?"
Su Zhan pinpointed Coulson's location and was a bit puzzled. The next moment, he had appeared in a certain Town and saw Coulson eating in a nearby restaurant.
From his appearance, he clearly wasn't injured.
"What's going on? Was he already fine a month after the Battle of New York?"
Su Zhan frowned, just as he saw someone passing by with a newspaper. With a thought, time instantly froze. He walked over, picked up the newspaper, and glanced at it. There happened to be a report about the Battle of New York, but the timing was off—the Battle of New York had already ended two months ago.
"It seems my timing isn't that accurate."
Having figured out what was going on, Su Zhan once again released his Ability and reappeared in New York. This time, he first confirmed the time, and only after confirming it accurately did he pinpoint Coulson's location. Then, he appeared next to Coulson.
In a somewhat dim, slightly eerie operating room, Coulson lay on the bed, his limbs restrained, his scalp cut open, revealing his brain. Machines nearby were constantly operating, stimulating his brain nerves…
There were two people, seemingly Doctors, observing Coulson's condition.
"Who are you? How did you appear here?"
Seeing Su Zhan suddenly appear, the two people were startled and immediately shouted.
Su Zhan, however, suddenly froze time. He leisurely looked at the two people's terrified and astonished eyes, smiled, walked up to them, placed his hands on their heads, and deleted this short segment of their memory.
Immediately after, Su Zhan disappeared, and time returned to normal.
Su Zhan reappeared in the same place, but Coulson was gone, and the two Doctors were also gone.
He had returned to the normal timeline.
He quickly walked to the side and soon found the GH325 serum. With a wave of his hand, he stored them in his system space. Then, Su Zhan followed the tubes on the instruments and found the storage unit for the alien body.
Upon opening it, Su Zhan saw an alien that was only a torso, with blue skin and many tubes connected to its body.
"This must be a Kree, right? It's said that the Kree created the Inhumans, so this serum has no side effects whatsoever for Inhumans like Skye. Unlike Coulson, he's probably going to be driven crazy by the side effects soon, isn't he?"
The Kree body, along with its storage unit, was placed into the system space. Su Zhan then randomly disappeared, returning to the Dark Elves' spaceship, and to his room.
"Phew…"
After returning, Su Zhan lay down directly.
Continuously performing time and space travel was truly exhausting. His body, which was originally full of vitality and strength, now felt hollowed out and very weak.
"Watching TV dramas, I thought Nakamura Hiroshi's frequent use of his Ability was effortless, but I didn't expect it to consume so much," Su Zhan mumbled. He only felt better after resting for more than ten minutes. After all, his physical condition was different from Nakamura Hiroshi's. Although the consumption was great, he recovered quickly, and his body was inherently more suited for travel than anyone else's.
Chapter 0140: Studying the Iron Man Suit
After resting for a while, Su Zhan stood up, clapped his hands, and prepared to pursue his second objective.
Iron Man's Suit!
Although he wasn't very interested in Iron Man's Suit, as it wasn't very helpful to him, it was very useful for his women, such as… Philys, and also Pepper, who would, according to the normal trajectory, become a Searcher.
Philys's flying skills were excellent, and she had no other Abilities, so the Iron Man Suit was perfect for her. As for Pepper, Su Zhan had also noticed last time that she seemed to really like the Iron Man Suit.
Since she liked it, he would help her get it!
He couldn't imitate Nakamura Hiroshi, who always squeezed his eyes and even made his face tremble whenever he used his Ability, looking completely constipated. With a slight frown, he vanished. The next second, he appeared in Stark Tower.
Time stood still. Su Zhan walked leisurely. He had to admit, this place was truly luxurious. As expected of a big spendthrift, he certainly knew how to enjoy himself. A moment later, he was in the laboratory, seeing Tony Stark. Speaking of which, if he didn't freeze time, the AI Jarvis would discover him, even if he was invisible. He wasn't afraid of being discovered, he just didn't want to waste time.
His purpose for being here was the Iron Man Suit, but not to take any finished product. Rather, it was to understand the manufacturing process and structure of the Iron Man Suit.
Giving someone a fish is not as good as teaching them how to fish.
Although it wasn't entirely accurate here, it was roughly the same meaning.
Since he had the Ability to figure it out and make the Iron Man Suit himself, why bother taking someone else's finished product?
