Ch: 411-420

Chapter 411 Two and a Half Years

"It seems Tiamut understands me best, knowing I need the genes of a strong being. Hmm, a complete corpse would, of course, be even better."

Leon examined Arishem the Judge's corpse.

This corpse was very full, so it shouldn't be the one Agatha drained dry (in fact, that one was directly absorbed into nihility).

However, the Multiverse is so vast that a few Arishem the Judges dying is normal.

Perhaps Infinite Ultron killed him?

Leon casually put Arishem the Judge's corpse into his Inner World.

He left it for the Blacklight Virus to absorb later.

After all, the gap between the Black Light Clone and Arishem the Judge was too immense at the moment.

Moreover, there wasn't the kind of interconnected method between the Eternal and Tiamut.

He probably had to wait until his strength continued to break through.

Only then could he completely devour Arishem the Judge.

"But I don't necessarily have to devour all of it; I can leave some for Tony to see if he can create a Celestial Armor."

A Celestial's corpse was full of treasures; he had to think carefully about how to utilize it.

Leon turned and flew back to Earth.

At this time, below the dispersion layer in Earth's direction, a large number of satellites had already gathered.

Further down, there were also many fighter jets circling in the air, as well as Airborne Aircraft Carriers floating.

Tony, too, was piloting his Anti-Superman Armor, flying in space with Kara and Diana.

Behind them followed more than a dozen spaceships.

They were all filled with mages from Kamar-Taj, as well as Wanda, Banner, and others.

Looking at their stance, they were ready to join the battlefield and help at any time.

"These guys." Leon shook his head, thinking to himself that he now had a large family and enterprise.

Leon had long sensed the movements of various forces within Earth.

However, he had already switched to his Rejedo account, like 'the three-year period is up, the Dragon King returns to his position'.

Naturally, it was impossible for another battle to erupt with Arishem the Judge.

And looking at Arishem the Judge's appearance when he left, he probably had to thank him.

Leon flew to the vicinity of the dispersion layer, and Tony and the others approached him.

Tony threw out a nano-material communication device: "Those red and gold 'iron buckets' just now, they were the Celestials who maintain the order of the Universe, right?"

Leon nodded, putting on the communication device.

The nano-material formed a mask on his face, pulling him into the communication channel.

Tony's curiosity erupted: "What did they come for? Did you secretly do something bad and get caught?"

"And when did you learn to transform into Ultraman? And you didn't even call me when you transformed into Ultraman to do bad things?"

Tony had only read Marvel comics.

And the Celestials in the comics did not match their appearance in the movies.

This led to Tony not recognizing that the two Celestials just now were the famous Arishem the Judge and Tiamut.

Before Leon could answer, Diana refuted Tony on his behalf:

"Leon is a savior in our World; how could he do bad things here! Tony, why do you always want to speak ill of Leon?"

At the same time, in the communication channel, the scolding of Tony from Wong, Mordo, and others also rang out.

Listening to everyone's indignation, Leon spread his hands towards Tony, giving him a look that said, "They're all right."

Then he took Diana and Kara by the hand and flew back to Earth first.

Tony, behind them, covered his faceplate, his head aching: "Stop, stop! Hey! Mordo, did you just say a word starting with F?"

"Banner? Are you scolding me too? It was just a joke to let everyone relax!"

"Alright, alright, Wanda, calm down. We can talk about whatever it is when we get back to Earth…"

On this day, the sudden appearance of three gigantic beings outside Earth.

Made every Earthling realize that the Universe was not only inhabited by Earthlings.

Everyone's heart was shrouded in a shadow.

Then this shadow was instantly wiped away the next day by the news report of "SupermanSolves Alien Giant."

And Leon, at this time, had already finished an entire night of battle after returning home.

And sat down on the balcony.

He began to sort out his gains.

Aside from a corpse of Arishem the Judge.

The biggest gain was naturally the feedback from the concepts of justice and order.

Helping Tiamut manifest, preventing Earth from exploding, then saving Earth again, and saving the Solar System from Arishem the Judge.

The feedback brought by this series of actions.

Directly caused the Rejedo Clone's strength to skyrocket by the equivalent of an entire stellar system.

With such strength, if he were to face Arishem the Judge…

Well, at most, it would only make Arishem the Judge exert a little more effort, not even enough to be fully satisfied.

It is worth mentioning that.

The information Leon gave to Arishem the Judge.

The subsequent effects would also be considered acts of maintaining justice and order.

And would bring him new feedback in the future.

"With Tiamut's problem resolved, no one in this Universe can threaten me anymore."

"As for outside the Universe… I hope the situation hasn't reached its worst yet."

Leon looked at the sky, his gaze seemingly penetrating countless spaces.

Around this time a year ago.

He was still worried about the Chitauri invasion.

He was still thinking about how to deal with the Endgame.

Only a year had passed now.

But, imperceptibly.

Those crises that had kept him on edge had become insignificant matters.

And he had grown, becoming the tall one in his own Universe.

He began to stand from the perspective of a tall person, facing more and more dangerous crises outside the Universe.

"Cultivate, cultivate until I become immortal, then it's time for the Rejedo Clone to operate in other Universes."

Leon bathed in the Sun, slowly closing his eyes.

… … … …

Time flew by.

Six months later.

Leon received a message from the Super Skrull.

They had found the Power Stone.

After instructing the Skrull to send the gem back to Earth and to continue their efforts to seize the Mind Stone.

Leon continued his cultivation.

Another year later.

The Super Skrull sent another message.

They had finally snatched the Mind Stone from Thanos.

It was a war that affected more than half of the star sector.

For several years, the Super Skrull had been fighting Thanos's forces in various star systems, causing heavy losses to all parties, and finally, enraged, they all joined in.

Besides the Shi'ar Empire and the Kree Empire, who had participated from the beginning.

The Land of Nihility, Omnipotence City, and Counter-Earth, these super forces also joined in.

Zeus raised his divine artifact, Ego the Living Planet sent his subordinates, and the High Evolutionary vowed to eliminate all Skrull.

Some intended to fish in troubled waters and snatch the Mind Stone.

Others intended to abduct the Super Skrull and take them home to have children.

The outcome of that battle.

Ended with Zeus being severely wounded and retreating.

Ego the Living Planet abducted Star-Lord home, only to be successfully killed by this good son.

The leader of Counter-Earth, the High Evolutionary, was ambushed by a 'raccoon' in the melee and died on the spot.

Compared to these, where even the leaders of the forces perished midway.

The situation of the two great empires was relatively better, but still limited.

The Kree Empire's army was completely annihilated.

The Shi'ar Empire lost most of its armed forces.

As for Thanos…

Thanos's Mind Stone was stolen, and all five of his Black Order members sacrificed themselves.

His two daughters were reportedly abducted by the Skrull and were to be sent to their 'Master' as hot weapons.

Now Thanos was frantically searching the entire Universe for clues to other gems, preparing to reclaim his old territory, start over, and exact revenge.

And there were not many Super Skrull left either.

So Leon told them to occupy the Land of Nihility and make use of their last bit of remaining glory.

The only one who seemed to benefit from this war was Leon.

He gained the Mind Stone and also increased his strength—

All parties suffered losses, leading to a temporary peace and tranquility in the Universe.

Thus… Rejedo gained feedback from the order side, and his strength once again increased by several stellar systems.

And today.

Two and a half years had passed since Arishem the Judge and Tiamut left.

Leon's main body was floating in front of the Sun, breaking through to perfect genes.

Chapter 412 While Leon is away...

Rejedo's hands hung at his sides, and he floated almost directly above the Sun, eyes tightly closed as if in slumber.

The sunlight pierced through every one of his dark strands of hair.

His perfectly proportioned body seemed to ignite.

A faint golden glow emanated from him.

If Tony were here, he would definitely complain about Rejedo having eaten hundreds of fireflies, which were still glowing due to indigestion.

Then, at a certain moment, Rejedo abruptly opened his eyes.

His height then began to rapidly increase, like bamboo shoots in spring.

1.9 meters, 2 meters, 3 meters… Rejedo's height quickly surpassed the limits of a human.

An energy storm raged near the Sun, and a massive amount of energy surged towards Rejedo, forming a huge energy vortex.

The Space Stone within his World also gushed energy.

Vast energy flowed into Rejedo's body, enveloping his every cell.

His body began to grow wildly.

10,000 kilometers, 20,000 kilometers… 90,000 kilometers!

Rejedo's main body finally achieved perfect genes.

At this moment, every cell and every bone joint of his body emitted a faint glow.

That was a light almost identical to sunlight.

The perfect genes of different creatures are not the same.

Rege Duo Clone's perfection was a sublimation to ultimate light, possessing the power of the aurora.

The Blacklight Virus's perfection was the assimilation of a large number of superior genes, all-encompassing, capable of adapting to all extreme environments in the Universe.

And the perfection of Rejedo's main body was the capacity to contain all Kryptonian traits, possessing limitless potential.

Rejedo had completely analyzed the trillions of Kryptonian gene templates in the life codex.

And integrated those templates into himself.

At the moment the last template was successfully integrated.

His genes reached 10081 times.

He achieved perfect genes.

All Kryptonian traits in the DCEU Universe.

Scientists, warriors, generals, judges…

Any Kryptonian powerhouse that had appeared in Kryptonian history.

Could find a shadow of themselves in him.

As the sunlight bathed him, Rejedo could feel himself rapidly growing stronger.

In the Starry Sky System, the part about gene evolution was truly well-suited to the Supermanbloodline.

Breaking through 10081 times the gene, in the Starry Sky System, is breaking through perfect genes.

And when this breakthrough occurs in the Kryptonian bloodline.

That is an unparalleled qualitative change.

Rejedo felt the extent to which his body was growing stronger.

Although his realm was still stuck at the peak of the World Lord.

His body, however, seemed to have no limits whatsoever.

Bathing in the sunlight at close range, the power gained every second even exceeded that of an Earth.

And this rate of strengthening was still constantly accelerating.

It was as if his strengthening mechanism had become a deposit in a bank calculated with compound interest.

The interest accrued at every moment would be converted into principal, creating even higher interest in the next moment.

"Now, I might have the ability to become a Golden Superman," Rejedo sighed.

"It's just that I'd still have to sunbathe in the Sun for tens of thousands of years, like the Sorcerer Supreme in 'DC One Million', before I can transform."

Rejedo then moved his limbs in front of the Sun again.

His 90,000-kilometer-tall body, aside from being a bit large, felt no discomfort.

"Aside from the unlimited growth in strength and the continuously increasing speed of becoming stronger, nothing seems different."

After Rejedo's slight humblebrag, his body began to gradually shrink.

From the inheritance of "Zhou" in the Starry Sky World.

There is a secret art to change the size of the body without affecting combat power.

Rejedo began to cultivate this secret art after acquiring the Rege Duo Clone.

Now, all three of his perfect gene bodies can transform into normal human size without affecting normal combat.

So, the main body's night activities can still proceed as usual.

However, Rejedo has not yet produced the next generation.

Now that his genes have reached a perfect level, his life level has advanced another step.

It will be even more difficult for him to conceive offspring in the future.

But in a sense, offspring are merely an extension of an individual's finite life.

If one possesses infinite life, then having or not having offspring is not important.

Rejedo reverted to his original size and flew towards Earth.

Of course, he was dressed.

After the Dormammu Suit was destroyed, Rejedo went to the Time Fortress and found a new set of heavy treasure armor to put on.

Considering that he would soon break through to immortality and directly replace it with a stronger supreme treasure armor.

Rejedo didn't name this battle suit this time.

He instantly flew from near the Sun back to Earth, landing on his own balcony.

At this time, it was July 2011.

Shirley was studying at the Supreme Mage Academy, and Natasha and her sister were managing the company.

Diana was teaching at the academy and incidentally doing blacksmithing… or rather, alchemy.

Wanda was about to enter her senior year and was preparing her graduation thesis.

As for Kara, Kara was sunbathing on the balcony.

When Rejedo landed on the balcony, he deliberately lightened his movements and quietly walked indoors.

He had been near the Sun for several days.

Feeling a bit peckish, he picked up a cake from the dining table and simultaneously pulled out his communication device to check for messages.

Suddenly, a large number of messages popped up in the Avengers group chat.

This group was always like that; if you weren't careful, there would be 99+ messages.

Even Hawkeye would take time to chat in the group while on missions.

The old men always had endless nonsense to talk about, sometimes discussing equipment, sometimes the girls' legs.

Rejedo casually opened the group chat, expecting it to be the usual mundane chatter and bragging.

But this time it was a bit different.

[Awesome Avengers Superheroes Group]

Tony: Hey, everyone, while Rejedo isn't here, let's have a meeting at five o'clock today.

Captain America 1: Hello everyone, I will attend the five o'clock meeting, it's good to see everyone again, but why are we avoiding Superman?

Captain America 2: Based on my understanding of Tony, he probably wants to do something that is inconvenient for Superman to do while he is on Earth.

Tony: Young Captain, you don't need to speak word by word when using voice-to-text input, and Old Captain, please don't talk damn nonsense, thank you.

Hawkeye: Shouldn't someone tell Captain that he doesn't need to be so formal when talking in the group? He's been serious for three years.

Captain America 1: Tony, watch your language!

Captain America 2: Tony, watch… *cough*, what do you want from us?

Carter: I noticed he's been preoccupied lately. This must be an important meeting.

Thor: Can I bring Jane? Oh, by the way, she likes spaghetti, Tony, remember to prepare some.

Tony: Are you on Earth now too? Damn it, I said this is important, and you're bringing Jane… Wait, bring her, I have a task for her.

Thor: What? She's just a normal person! No, I'm not bringing her!

Tony: Are you kidding me?

Natasha: Hey, Tony, what are you trying to do behind Rejedo's back? He's my boss.

Tony: Stark Industries is half mine too. I'm unilaterally exercising my shareholder rights and forbidding you from telling him.

Banner: Hulk! &…% (!*)

Tony: Oh, Hulk smashed Banner's phone!

Jarvis: Sir, I think we can get straight to the point instead of holding a tea party in the group.

Chapter 413 Proposal

Tony: "Alright, alright, we should get straight to the point. Stop guessing, everyone. I'm going to propose to Pepper. Be at the Base at five o'clock. Let's discuss it!"

Wang: "You? Propose?"

Mordo: "You? Propose?"

Banner: "I got my body back, I got my body back! You? Propose?"

Diana: "Hey, Banner, you broke the formation."

Kara: "Tony is going to propose... unbelievable."

Wanda: "Will Leon propose to us too? If he doesn't propose to me..."

Diana: "Don't overthink it, pretty girl. Knowing Leon's style, he'd change his nationality to places like Bangladesh or Pakistan and marry everyone at once."

Wanda: "That sounds about right."

Tony: "Why did the topic shift to Leon? What are you all, who usually just lurk, doing popping up? Remember, the meeting time is five o'clock. Everyone come over, this is very important!"

...

Leon looked at the chat log on the projection and couldn't help but lean his head back.

Tony? Propose?

These two words combined had a strange sense of detachment.

Leon almost thought he had come to the wrong Earth.

He checked the time; it was indeed 2011. There were still six years until Tony and Pepper got married in the movie.

"Why would he propose to Pepper behind my back?" A question popped into Leon's mind.

He had spent two days on this breakthrough to perfect his genes, and he had even sent out a group message when he left Earth.

He didn't expect Tony to take the opportunity to plan a secret proposal.

The initial chat logs were from two days ago.

Leon continued to scroll down.

The entire Avengers had mobilized for Tony's proposal.

Even Kara, who usually just goes with the flow and sunbathes, participated.

Yesterday's chat log—

Tony: "Is everything ready? There can't be any mistakes!"

Thor: "Don't worry, don't worry. Jane has successfully invited Pepper out for shopping."

Wanda: "Diana and I have also prepared for a 'chance' encounter."

Captain America 1: "Camera in position."

Captain America 2: "Microphone in position."

Hawkeye: "Fireworks in position."

Carter: "Backstage overall command in position."

Kara: "Big villain in position."

Hulk: "Hulk can go berserk anytime."

...

Tony: "Excellent! Check the time. We'll act precisely at seven o'clock sharp tonight—"

First, Kara appears, wearing her nanotech armor and masked, as the big villain, knocking Thorand me from the sky to the ground!

Then Diana and Wanda come on stage and drive Kara away.

When Kara leaves, she says she'll make the Avengers pay and takes me with her!

Thor, you tell Jane that at this point, she needs to say something to make Pepper chase after us.

Next, it's Hulk's turn to go berserk! He needs to appear and give Pepper some trouble.

Finally, after Pepper overcomes the difficulties and rescues me, the fireworks team, props team, and camera team all get moving!

Remember when I'm lying in Pepper's arms proposing.

The mages' spells that can release various colored lights must ascend into the sky!

The fireworks must illuminate the entire New York coastline!

And those ships and helicopters.

All of them should display colored lights and play music!

Captain America 1: "Camera received!"

Captain America 2: "Microphone received!"

Tony: "Don't just receive it, act now, gogogo!"

...

Leon looked at the chat log, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

No wonder Tony waited until he left Earth to propose.

With such a creative proposal process, if he were there, Tony being 'kidnapped' in the first step wouldn't make sense.

"Tony, that guy... is he really that romantic?"

Leon continued to scroll through the chat log.

In the records from a few hours later, Jarvis uploaded several videos.

The first video was the entire process of Tony's proposal.

During the process, the camera followed Pepper the whole time, capturing all her emotions: anxiety, worry, anger, fear, surprise, and more.

The footage clearly looked like it was shot with a handheld camera.

It also showed that the Young Captain America, who was responsible for filming, had very steady hands and was very skilled at parkour.

Midway through the video, Pepper burst with photon energy and flew up to chase Kara and Tony.

And the camera weaved through the tall buildings, steady and fast.

One could imagine how smoothly Captain America, carrying the camera and sweating profusely, performed parkour at that moment.

And the final outcome was undoubtedly perfect.

Captain America perfectly captured the scene of Pepper's heroic rescue, followed by the beauty giving herself to him.

At the end of the footage, fireworks exploded across the night sky, illuminating the New Yorkcoastline.

Ferries and helicopters played wedding marches.

At the center of all the colored lights and music.

Tony opened the ring box in Pepper's arms, and Pepper covered her face, shedding tears of emotion.

The video ended there. In the frame, Captain America put down the camera, and a group of people gathered around, clapping and whistling, shouting for Pepper to say yes.

Clicking on the other videos revealed aerial footage from Jarvis and the Iron Man armor, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the Avengers' preparations.

...

"…Holy crap." Leon couldn't help but exclaim, "Does it have to be this romantic?"

"Tony is doing all this with fireworks, planes, cruise ships, and spells flying around. When it's my turn to propose, I'll have to light up a few Suns to liven things up."

Though he said that, Leon couldn't help but smile as he watched the video.

Tony and Pepper both held extraordinary significance for him.

Their early marriage was undoubtedly good news.

Leon was about to close the projection and go find Tony to ask about the situation.

Just then, Jarvis's call came in.

Leon answered.

"Young Master Leon, welcome back to Earth." Jarvis's figure appeared in the projection.

He bowed slightly: "Mr. Stark and Miss Potts's wedding will be held this Sunday. You are formally invited to attend as the best man."

"That fast? They proposed yesterday and set the date today?" Leon was a bit surprised.

"Mr. Stark wishes to complete the wedding as soon as possible," Jarvis said.

Leon nodded: "Of course I'll go. I just didn't expect that I celebrated Tony's 41st birthday only two months ago, and now I have to attend his wedding."

At the end of May, Tony had just celebrated his 41st birthday.

As for the 2.5-hand aerial fortress Leon had given him in advance, it had officially become Tony's property when Tony turned 40.

However, now neither Leon nor Tony thought much of the Red Room's aerial fortress.

"Jarvis, help me choose a suitable suit. Send me the designs."

"Yes, Young Master," Jarvis replied.

A second later, dozens of suit designs popped up on Leon's projection.

"Young Master Leon, these suits are all styles that best complement your temperament," Jarvisintroduced.

Leon scrolled through the suits on the projection with his finger, and his battle suit changed to the corresponding appearance.

He tried on each one, and at the same time, casually asked:

"Jarvis, do you know why Tony suddenly had the idea to propose? He never mentioned it to me before."

"The reason is actually very simple," Jarvis said with a smile: "Miss Potts is pregnant."

Leon's finger, which was scrolling the screen, stopped.

He raised an eyebrow: "Pepper is pregnant? That's so sudden..."

"Well, she drags Tony to exercise every day, doesn't let him sleep all night, and often makes him look pale. It would be strange if she wasn't pregnant by now."

Leon remembered Tony's 'kidney deficiency' look during every meeting and couldn't help but smile.

"So I'm going to be an uncle? Uncle Leon, that feels pretty strange."

"Indeed, and Mr. Stark hopes that you, Young Master, will name his child."

"Hmm... then let's call her Morgan if it's a girl, and James if it's a boy."

Morgan is Tony's daughter in the movie, and James is the son Tony created through genetic engineering in the comics.

Chapter 414 Tony and Pepper's Wedding

The fourth Saturday of July, the Great Heat.

Under the blazing sun, Tony and Pepper's wedding was held in Central Park, New York.

This place has always been known as the holy land of weddings in New York.

Under a huge sweetgum tree grove that had begun to turn a brilliant orange.

Rows of floral arches were laid out along the stone path through the grass.

Tony and Pepper, dressed in a suit and wedding gown, walked arm in arm along the stone path towards the altar amidst bursts of fireworks.

Many people came for Tony's wedding today.

Outside the park, various luxury cars and official vehicles were parked.

Not to mention important figures from political and business circles.

Even people who had no connection with Stark were rushing to the wedding venue.

Especially many children.

If Tony hadn't had Happy and Ethan bring people to block them in advance.

Before the wedding even started, he would have been surrounded by children waving autograph papers and pens.

The wedding officially began.

Tony and Pepper exchanged vows, rings, and then kissed under the witness of the priest.

Everyone below applauded and cheered.

Carter even wiped away emotional tears from the corner of her eyes as she applauded.

After the vows came the interactive session.

Lyon was the first to go on stage to give a speech.

"Welcome everyone to Tony's wedding. You should know me, Lyon Stark, Tony's younger brother."

Lyon waved the microphone, and applause broke out below the stage.

"Maybe Tony isn't very likable, and even a bit annoying. After all, Colonel Rhodes told me when I was little—your brother is really a headache."

"But today is probably Tony's most considerate, most handsome, and most approachable day of his life."

"Look, I'm teasing him like this, and he hasn't even refuted it."

"After all, the only person who doesn't dislike him has finally accepted his proposal, so he can't expose his true nature at this moment and make the bride regret it."

"So, I hope that for the sake of this special day, friends who want to pull out a gun and shoot him, please bear with it. You can line up at Avengers Tower with your guns tomorrow."

Friendly laughter erupted from the crowd.

Rhodes cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted—that's right, that's what I said!

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lyon paused.

After the laughter subsided a bit, he continued, "Actually, I also dislike Tony."

"Tony and I have known each other for 21 years… almost a lifetime."

"In our first year of knowing each other, when we still lived in Los Angeles, Tony would always bring his new girlfriend to visit our small family."

"And he would always ask me for advice—Hey, Lyon, what do you think of this beauty today?"

The crowd below burst into laughter.

Lyon walked a few steps, waved his hand: "What could I say? I could only say over and over again, that girl isn't very good, quickly dump her!"

"Until one day, Tony brought Pepper to our small family."

"You know what, the first time I saw Pepper, I felt she would be Tony's other half."

"Because she was just too normal! Compared to the other beauties around Tony, Pepper was simply the most normal woman in the entire World."

"So I grabbed Tony's pant leg. Oh, I was only 1 year old then, still crawling on the ground."

Hearing this, Wang, Mordo, and others laughed so hard they almost fell over.

"I grabbed Tony's pant leg and told him, what are you hesitating for, go for it! That's your destined one!"

"And then you know what Tony said? He said, holy cow, I'd rather believe Captain America is still alive than believe you, a little baby!"

Young Captain America stood up at this point, raising his hand to gesture to those around him.

Pepper was smiling so widely that her gums were showing.

Lyon also smiled and pointed at Captain America: "You see, Captain America is still alive, so Tonyalso listened to my advice and married Pepper."

Applause erupted in the venue.

Lyon looked at Tony and said, "Finally, I want to give Tony and Pepper a piece of advice."

"Please don't ask me for advice on your relationship anymore."

"Because from now on, you will love each other deeply for your entire lives, and you will never be separated."

"Thank you."

Lyon walked off the stage.

Pepper and Tony smiled, clapping hard.

...

The interactive part of the wedding was all about bridesmaids and groomsmen giving speeches or performances.

Banner, Wang, Mordo, Captain America, Carter…

Even Thor and Loki went on stage and told a few Asgardian jokes.

After the interaction, it was time for the buffet.

Tony generously set it up as a buffet.

Red wine, brandy, vodka, lobster, king crab, tuna, everyone present could enjoy it freely.

"You brat, you just had to bring up my embarrassing past at my wedding."

Tony and Lyon stood together by a long white wooden dining table, holding plates of seafood.

Pepper had already been pulled away by the bridesmaid group to deal with socialites from all walks of life.

Originally, Tony should have been entertaining politicians and merchants, but he was just stubborn and wanted to have a drink and talk nonsense with his younger brother.

"Didn't I also give you and Pepper my blessings? Besides, you didn't even tell me about your proposal. This is me repaying evil with good." Lyon was wearing a black suit and tuxedo.

Tony shook his head: "Actually, I wasn't clear about it at first."

"I was very conflicted and thought for a long time, wondering whether I should take this step, after all, everything will be different from now on."

His expression was a bit uneasy: "I don't know if I can be a good father, a qualified husband."

"Lyon, you know what, I'm really afraid I'll become like our father, that old guy."

Lyon patted Tony's arm: "You're not him. Besides, Howard loved you very much; he just wasn't good at expressing it. That's the only thing you two have in common."

"You say that as if you knew him well, but you were just a baby then." Tony swatted Lyon's hand away.

He ate a shrimp: "In fact, it was the mass message you sent a few days ago when you left Earththat suddenly gave me the idea that it was a good proposal opportunity."

"You know I sometimes overthink things, but at that moment, as soon as the thought popped into my head, I immediately sent out a meeting notice in the group."

"I didn't want to give myself a chance to hesitate."

Tony's eyes were a bit deep: "The Pajama Boy was right when he said, with great power comes great responsibility."

"Sometimes we have to learn to be responsible, for ourselves, for others, that's what Superheroes should do."

Lyon looked at Tony, thinking that marriage really does change a person.

Tony had just gotten married and was already in 'old father' mode.

"Haha, Tony is right!" Just then, Thor walked over with Loki.

This guy always brings Loki with him whenever he comes to Earth, no matter where he goes.

His type of doting on his brother would definitely be a big hit in the Naruto World.

However, last year, when Thor brought Loki and tried to help Loki unseal his divine power.

He happened to meet Jane Foster, who was out for a survey.

And so, a spark flew.

Thor and Jane got together.

After that, when he came to Earth, he would only spend half his time with Loki, and the other half with Jane.

"Once Father wakes up and I get his consent, I also plan to marry Jane."

Thor said: "She's too busy and too excellent. Perhaps after marriage, we can have more time together."

"Is that so? How busy? Pepper manages a huge company like Stark Industries, she's even more excellent, and she hasn't said she's busy." Tony subconsciously showed off Pepper.

Thor immediately frowned, narrowing his eyes: "There are so many companies on Earth, but Jane is working on a project that could win a Nobel Prize. She's more excellent, and great."

"Speaking of great." Tony held up his fork, "Pepper brought clean energy to the World, she is undoubtedly the greatest woman of this century."

"Haha…" Thor pointed at Tony with his finger, "Jane researches the Nine Realms, she might change an entire star system, she is the greatest."

The two suddenly began to debate whose girlfriend was more excellent.

Leaving Lyon speechless.

His girlfriend could even modify the World and pull people from other Worlds.

He hadn't even spoken yet, and these two were already showing off.

Lyon cleared his throat, just about to use Wanda as an example to awe Tony and Thor.

Suddenly, a red light flashed at his feet.

"Hmm? No way, I haven't even said anything yet, and Cao Cao is already here?"

Chapter 415: Requests for help pour in

"Wanda… I'm sorry, but not this time. I can't just sneak away from Tony's wedding."

Leon muttered, silently declining Wanda's "invitation."

For the past two years, every time he met the parallel World Wanda, they never did anything proper.

Sometimes Diana would even complain, saying that Old Wizard Shazam truly hadn't misjudged him back then.

So, when he received another invitation from Wanda, Leon's thoughts instinctively veered towards a certain abyss.

After being rejected, the Chaos Magic that had converged into a scarlet magic circle quickly dispersed.

Tony and Thor didn't notice what was happening at Leon's feet.

The two of them were still engaged in a fierce debate about whose girlfriend was more outstanding.

Their arguments, ranging from their "perfect girlfriends'" careers to their intelligence and figures, were all showcased.

Ultimately, Tony defeated Thor by using the fact that he was already married to Pepper, while Thor was still far from the next stage, as a breakthrough point.

"Jane, no matter how excellent she is, is only your girlfriend, but Pepper, she is already my wife, and we are about to have a lovely little Stark."

That's what Tony said.

Thor racked his brain but couldn't find a point to refute.

Finally, with Loki's "Brother, I think he's right" as a finishing blow, he left with a despondent expression.

Having defeated Thor and crowned "King of Immaturity," Tony crossed his arms, a smug look on his face.

He shrugged at Leon: "Thor never had a chance from the start. He's just stubborn. Pepper is, of course, better than Jane Foster. I just helped him realize that."

"So, should I applaud you?"

Leon clapped the back of his hand, looking speechless, "You guys are really childish."

"Don't be such a spoilsport. Don't you think Pepper is excellent?"

Tony bumped Leon with his shoulder, still holding a plate of seafood.

"By the way, Jarvis said you named your nephew James? I thought you'd name him Clark, or Jonathan."

"I see it, Tony, you just want to take advantage of Clark, and I think Pepper is having a girl."

"Are you sure? Damn it, you didn't use your x-ray vision to look at Pepper's belly, did you?" Tonyexaggeratedly widened his eyes.

"It's just a guess, okay?" Leon shook his head helplessly.

The two walked along the long table, eating, drinking, and chatting.

"Leon!" Suddenly, Wanda's voice came from behind Leon, filled with urgency.

The two, still holding plates and forks, and chewing food, turned around together.

Wanda, wearing a white bridesmaid dress, floated over from a distance, releasing Chaos Magicwith both hands.

In mid-air, she crossed her hands, and her white dress instantly transformed into a scarlet magic robe and a Witch's headpiece.

"Something happened in the parallel World, Leon!"

Wanda landed in front of Leon, "And it's something very serious. The other Wanda just contacted me!"

Leon frowned slightly.

He hadn't even spoken yet.

Suddenly, an orange-yellow rectangular portal appeared out of thin air beside the three of them.

A Spider-Man's head poked out.

Seeing Leon, he excitedly leaped out entirely.

"Leon! Perfect! I appeared right in front of you!"

From the sound of his voice, this Spider-Man was the Holland-Spider from the movie Main Universe.

He came out of a TVA portal, likely on a mission.

"Something, something very important has happened! Right in your neighboring Universe! Thanos, he… Hmm? Wait…"

Holland-Spider was about to rattle off the situation like a typewriter.

But he suddenly noticed that everyone present was dressed in suits and ties.

"Oh my god, did someone die? Did a Thanos come here too?"

"Oh, no, no, those people are wearing white dresses, and there's a flower stage, wait, is someone getting married?"

Holland-Spider was extremely talkative.

And his perception was unusually sharp.

"Am I here at the wrong time? Is it Mr. Stark's wedding, or Captain's wedding, or…"

"It's Tony, it's Tony's wedding!" Leon put down his plate, cutting off Holland-Spider's exhaustive reasoning.

"Mr. Stark! Oh my god, I'm sorry, did I mess up again? I shouldn't have come at this time, and I didn't even prepare a gift, I'm really sorry!"

Holland-Spider held his head, rummaging through his body, seemingly trying to find a temporary gift.

But in his red and blue Spider-Man suit, where could he put a gift?

After searching for a long time, he only found a tattered, shriveled wallet.

"It's okay, that's all okay, kid. Alright, put your pathetic wallet away."

Tony also put down his plate, headache-ridden, and stuffed Holland-Spider's wallet back into the interlayer of his suit.

He shook his head at Little Spider: "Do you still want to give a gift? You make me feel like I should be giving you some allowance instead."

"So what exactly happened?" Leon also had a headache; this Peter Parker had been talking for ages without getting to the point.

"It's Thanos! He… Is it appropriate for me to say it now? It's still a wedding, or should I come back later?"

Holland-Spider hesitated, "Or, I'll stay and finish the wedding first, then talk? Actually, I've never attended Mr. Stark's wedding."

Tony slapped his forehead: "God, can't you just say it? It's been three years, why hasn't TVA gone bankrupt because of you pajama babies?"

"Even TVA can be alarmed. Could it be that the movie Universe's Thanos can also cause a multi-crisis?" Leon's focus was elsewhere.

He looked at Wanda: "Perhaps before going to the parallel World, we should first go to TVA to see the situation."

Then he said to Tony: "Tony, you stay here and continue… What are you doing? Today is your wedding!"

Tony was already warming up.

He glanced at Pepper from a distance, then suddenly slid his finger over the World Ring on his ring finger—

When he and Pepper exchanged rings before, it was actually giving each other the World Ring in advance, and then exchanging them back.

Tony took out the Ark Reactor from the ring and placed it on his chest.

Nanomaterials quickly spread across his body, following the muscle lines.

The latest version of the Anti-Superman Armor, which had been upgraded and iterated for two and a half years, was donned.

It shone with a cold luster in the sunlight.

Tony patted Leon's shoulder, a confident smile playing on his lips: "A Superheroes' wedding always needs a spectacular performance."

"Jarvis, tell Pepper I'll be back before dark."

Tony pushed Holland-Spider, and amidst Little Spider's cries of "Wait, Mr. Stark, wait," he strode into the portal.

Leon and Wanda exchanged glances, shrugged, and followed.

Chapter 416 There is no Mind Gem here

The TVA's high-level command room.

The decor here was still predominantly orange.

Orange ceiling, orange walls.

B15, with her short, curly hair, watched the large orange screen with a serious expression.

Aside from her, who was black from skin to clothes, most of the room was orange.

Suddenly, an orange portal opened behind B15.

"Wait, Mr. Stark, I think you should finish the wedding first!" Holland-Spider's voice was still noisy.

He was always noisy all by himself.

B15 raised an eyebrow, excitedly turning back, but her expression instantly cooled when she saw who had arrived.

"Iron Man? Why did you bring this playboy back? Where's Superman... Oh, Superman! You're finally here!"

B15 smiled again.

She walked past Tony and Holland-Spider, directly and enthusiastically shaking Leon's hand.

Her disdain for Iron Man was undisguised in her tone.

After Leon and Wanda stepped out of the portal, the orange door closed automatically.

"Long time no see, B15. So, what major event has happened? We need to understand the situation first."

Leon's gaze swept across the screen.

B15's face instantly turned serious: "It's Thanos! He has disturbed the Multiverse!"

She led everyone to the screen and began to play a scene from a certain timeline.

.....

Earth, Wakanda.

Thanos's army stretched from the sky to the ground, obscuring the sun.

The burly purple figure stood at the very front of the army.

He constantly exuded an abyssal aura, standing there like an insurmountable mountain.

And opposite him.

Were the Wakandan army and the Avengers Superheroes.

Captain America and Iron Man stood at the very front.

"The Mind Stone, one of the last two Stones, give it to me."

Thanos held out his right hand to the Avengers.

His left hand wore the Infinity Gauntlet, on which four Stones had already been gathered.

Only the last Mind Stone and Time Stone were missing.

Captain America slowly shook his head, holding his shield: "Where is the Dr. you kidnapped? What did you do to him?"

[Pause]

In the TVA, everyone looked at Little Spider, who had pressed pause.

"I think we need an explanation here, everyone."

Holland-Spider gesticulated wildly: "Although you might not be too clear yet, it's really amazing. This is my second, no, my third time dealing with the Universe villain Thanos."

"The first time, Mr. Stark, Stephen (Doctor Strange), and I went to Thanos's home Planettogether."

"It was simply a wasteland, we..."

"Get to the point." Tony rubbed his brow.

"Okay, okay, anyway, that time, Stephen gave the Time Stone to Thanos to save Mr. Stark."

"And in this World, Stephen was taken away alone because he didn't ask the Avengers for help. Maybe in the future he saw, he needed to do that."

Tony nodded. In fact, he knew what was originally supposed to happen.

Old Captain America had already explained it in detail.

He just wanted to give Little Spider some time to improvise.

"Very good, you don't need to say anything more. You can't pause during the viewing," Tony said.

[Scene Continues]

"That Dr.? Don't worry, after he hands over the Time Stone, he will live temporarily, and after that, everything will be left to fate."

Thanos repeated: "Give me the Mind Stone!"

"Unless I fall, and everyone behind me also falls, you won't get it." Captain America tightened his grip on his shield.

Iron Man activated his thrusters and flew into the air: "Although this guy below is a jerk, what he said is what I want to say."

Thanos's gaze swept over the two: "I know you two. You two shouldn't be the ones to stop me."

He clenched his left hand, and the Reality Stone activated.

The surrounding environment changed like a TV channel switching, becoming the scene of another Planet.

"My home, Titan, was once beautiful, but it was like other Planets, with limited resources and infinitely growing populations."

"I saw its future extinction and proposed a solution—random, fair, selfless, and without any class distinction, to make some people disappear."

Captain America looked at Thanos in disbelief: "You mean to Carnage a part of the population?"

"To be precise, half of the population."

"Madman! Your crazy plan is impossible!" Captain America stared.

"The people on Titan once thought I was a madman too."

Thanos looked up slightly at the sky, his gaze as profound as a wise man who had seen through the truth of things. His conviction was firm and unshakeable.

"I foresaw everything, but Titan still went to extinction in the end."

"From then on, I knew that the World was ignorant, and I could only personally bring them hope."

Thanos brought his right thumb and forefinger together, "After gathering six Stones, I can use a snap to randomly reduce the population of each Planet by half."

"They won't suffer; they will just gradually turn into ashes. You can see my benevolence."

"Hand over the Mind Stone. I won't hurt you. This is not an invasion. Everything will be left to fate to decide."

Captain America gazed at Thanos, tightening his grip on his shield.

"No, this is an invasion!"

He said word by word: "Avengers, assemble!"

The Avengers and the Wakandan army charged.

However, Thanos, with four Stones, was almost unstoppable.

This guy was even holding back.

Every time he clenched his left hand, a certain Stone on the Gauntlet would flash.

Large numbers of warriors would fall, but most were not in mortal danger.

Thanos had no killing intent; he was indeed prepared to leave everything to the snap for random selection.

Even as Iron Man and Captain America fell again and again, and stopped him again and again.

He did not strike to kill.

Until Banner, driving the Veronica armor, climbed out of the cockpit because the armor was scrapped.

Shouting and asking: "You're sure the Mind Stone taken by someone from another Universe won't be found, right?"

At that moment, Thanos, who had some mutual appreciation for Captain America and Iron Man, changed his expression.

Thanos directly grabbed Captain America by the neck and questioned: "The Mind Stone is in another Universe? He's not lying?"

Captain America struggled to breathe, but still showed a smile that could last all day: "That's right, you can't go to another Universe, so give up. You'll never be able to make that snap!"

Thanos was silent.

A moment later, he casually threw Captain America aside, stepped on Iron Man, and looked around.

Everyone could feel the volcanic anger suppressed within him.

"I will find that Stone."

When everyone thought Thanos would strike to kill.

This Universe overlord turned and left, clenching his fist to activate the Space Stone, taking all his fleet away from Earth.

Leaving behind only a mountain-like, unshakeable statement.

The scene was silent for a moment.

Captain America exhaled a long breath, collapsing to the ground, limbs spread wide.

Tony also lay beside him, his armor damaged: "Now do you think it's necessary to build defenses for Earth? Next time Thanos comes, will it still be 'face him together'?"

Captain America gasped: "He can't find the Mind Stone, he won't come again."

At this moment, a Bifrost Bridge descended from the Universe.

Thor walked out, gripping Stormbreaker tightly.

Lightning flashed around him, and his tone carried the killing intent of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood: "Where is Thanos?"

The scene was quiet for a few seconds.

Tony and Captain America looked up at the sky.

Thor followed their gaze, seeing only a clear blue sky.

Chapter 417 Thanos! Thanos!

The screen stopped here.

In the TVA command center.

Tony stroked his chin, "It really is different from what I knew."

"But isn't everything perfect? How could Thanos be involved in the Multiverse?"

"There's also one more question, the Mind Stone they lost, it wouldn't happen to be the one on Jarvis's head, would it, Leon?"

Tony looked at Leon.

Leon nodded as a matter of course, "It is that one."

"So you secretly went and saved another World?" Tony raised an eyebrow.

"That's not important, Tony."

Leon turned to ask B15, "Don't tell me, Thanos ran to other Universes because he was looking for the Mind Stone."

B15 took a deep breath.

"I'd love to say no, but unfortunately, that's exactly how it is."

She typed a few times on the keyboard and said, "Please continue watching."

Thor's frozen face on the screen disappeared, and the footage began to jump.

First scene.

Thanos stood with his back to everyone, hands behind his back, by the spaceship's viewport.

He commanded the Black Order, "Find a way to travel to other Universes, the Mind Stone must be retrieved."

Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order, hesitated slightly, "But, we have never heard of anyone who can travel across Universes. Could it be that the Earthlings are lying?"

Thanos was unmoved, "That is not a lie. Go figure out a way. Since the Earthlings know the person who can travel across Worlds, start with them."

"Yes!"

The scene switched.

Second scene.

The Black Order attacked "Pym Technologies," kidnapped Dr. Pym and his family, and stole research materials.

Third scene.

Thanos's subordinates researched a method to travel between Worlds using Pym Particles in the Quantum Realm.

Fourth scene.

Thanos used the Space Stone to pinpoint the direction and successfully traveled to another World.

It turned out that the Thanos of this World had just snapped his fingers.

After a brief pleasant exchange, the other Thanos kindly and enthusiastically lent him the six-Infinity Stones gauntlet.

So Thanos prepared to return to his own Universe to snap his fingers.

However, Thanos 2 stopped him and said—

"Since someone can travel across Universes, then that person could potentially interfere with our plans in multiple Universes."

"We should help others until we find that guy who travels across Worlds."

Thanos is a decisive, ruthless, and strong-willed person.

Although agreeing to such a proposal would have unpredictable effects, it would allow more of him to fulfill his mission.

He had no reason to refuse.

The two Thanos immediately hit it off, with no psychological burden about eliminating half the population of multiple Universes.

They immediately decided to form a Multiverse Thanos Mutual Aid Team (mistakenly).

To ensure that every Thanos in the Multiverse could snap his fingers, and snap them well.

The two Thanos got to work.

First, Thanos 1 returned to his own Universe, snapped his fingers, and eliminated half the population.

Then, the two Thanos traveled across Universes together, randomly helping other-World Thanossnap their fingers.

Soon, snaps were heard one after another, and smiles and a sense of accomplishment were passed among the Thanos.

At this point, the Time Variance Authority had not yet discovered any major problems.

After all, Thanos snapping his fingers was almost a mandatory event in every Universe.

This was even a necessary process written into the Sacred Timeline before.

All TVA employees were already used to it.

However, changes quickly came—

After snapping their fingers, the Thanos would always agree to travel together.

From two to three… to more than a dozen.

They had been acting as a group like this many times.

Being with another version of themselves.

It gave them a feeling of telepathy, like a happy family.

The whole World, the whole Universe, thought they were crazy.

Only they themselves knew that Thanos was not a mad Titan, but the savior of the Universe, it was destiny.

Sometimes the Thanos would travel to the early stages of the Chitauri invasion of Earth.

Directly helping the Thanos of that World collect the Infinity Stones from scratch.

Sometimes they would travel to the Ultron era, greatly appreciating Ultron and attempting to recruit him.

However, in the end, they had to ruthlessly kill Ultron after discovering he was even more extreme than them.

This group of Thanos was like a Multiverse sightseeing tour and slaughter squad.

They roamed different timelines, witnessing Captain America's life, witnessing Iron Man's life…

After witnessing, they would then watch another Thanos snap his fingers with excitement.

The moment the snap was completed.

They would even go up one by one and hug that Thanos, telling him "well done."

These fantastical scenes made Leon, Tony, and Wanda stare blankly.

And the change occurred in such a Universe—

The Thanos traveled again.

This time, it was precisely at the moment Iron Man snapped his fingers, turning the Thanos army to dust.

All the Thanos felt incredible, followed by infinite rage.

They could accept their own failure.

They could even accept it very calmly.

But they could not accept that they had successfully snapped their fingers,

Yet the remaining half of life in the Universe did not know how to be grateful, did not cherish a life where resources were abundant again.

Instead, in this hard-won World, they held Joker parties!

That's right, Joker parties!

These Earthlings were not Superheroes, but a bunch of selfish ants!

They didn't know how to cherish, didn't know how to be grateful.

They tried to obtain Infinity Stones from other Worlds, destroying the results of Thanos's life's struggle in an instant.

All the Thanos were utterly enraged.

They launched a slaughter against the Avengers, blood spilled across the sky, and Earth turned into ruins.

Thanos no longer used any random killing mechanism.

They disbanded on the spot, preparing to return to their respective Universes and directly destroy the entire Universe with the Infinity Stones.

They would create a new Universe from the ruins of the Universe, one where every living being understood gratitude towards Thanos.

At the end of the footage.

A Thanos coldly gazed into the deep space of the Universe and snapped his fingers.

Thus, the entire Universe turned into cosmic soup, returning to chaos.

...…

After watching all the footage.

Tony and Wanda were speechless, stunned.

Leon also looked grim, "If they are all six-Infinity Stones Thanos… it's a bit troublesome."

"Uh, it's indeed a bit scary, isn't it? I was startled at first too, holy moly, so many Thanos, I felt my eyes turning purple just looking at the screen!"

Little Spider didn't hear Leon's mumbling and tried to lighten the mood.

Leon couldn't help but rub his forehead, "You see so many madmen shouting 'destiny,' and you can still smile. You really are optimistic, Peter."

Holland-Spider didn't know what to say either.

He hesitated, then smiled somewhat sadly, "Actually, after joining the TVA, I secretly went to see an alive Aunt Mei."

"She told me that Uncle Ben, Mr. Stark, and she, who have passed away, can no longer smile."

"So if I also lose my smile, then their sacrifice would be meaningless…"

"So I, and all of us, must continue to find ways to solve difficulties, right?"

Everyone in the command center looked at Holland-Spider.

After a brief silence.

Leon couldn't help but smile, "Peter, you're finally a bit like that middle-aged Peter Parker."

"Am I? I'm only in my twenties, still very young!" Holland-Spider rubbed the back of his head.

Tony clapped his armored hand, "Peter is right, we need to face the Thanos problem."

"So, what we're dealing with now is not a single army belonging to Thanos, but an army composed of six-Infinity Stones Thanos?"

B15 typed a few more times on the keyboard, "Not necessarily. It seems that before explaining the situation, I need to introduce the TVA's mechanism."

Chapter 418 Deadpool is fleeting

The screen showing Thanos snapping his fingers and destroying the Universe disappeared.

In its place were timelines that extended and branched out like tree branches.

"The TVA can observe changes in all timelines," B15 said.

She turned and pointed at the screen: "Every timeline, from its inception, to its branching, to its end, can be seen here."

"These timelines are constantly branching."

"And when a certain moment, a timeline is destined to be destroyed, it no longer produces tributaries."

"This was the case for some Universes that were destroyed because the Celestials' seed caused a God-manifestation on Earth, killing the anchor point."

"I think we, and everyone in every Universe, should thank you, Leon."

B15 suddenly said, "Because of you, the Celestials are now starting to move the Celestial seeds they left on Earth to other places, so there's one less reason for the Universe to be destroyed in the future."

"To be honest, we tried to communicate with the Celestials before, but it had no effect."

"Until Arishem the Judge came last time."

"Because of you, they finally realized they made a mistake."

"They really came looking for me?" Leon nodded: "The Celestials sometimes only believe in their own set of logic."

"I couldn't agree more!" B15 expressed her agreement and continued.

"Now that Thanos Council—we named them the Thanos Council—the timeline they are in is the same as those destined for destruction."

B15 brought up a very long timeline on the screen.

At various nodes on that timeline, hundreds of new temporal branches were derived.

And at the subsequent nodes of those branches, even more temporal tributaries continued to emerge.

It looked like a wild, unconstrained bush.

B15 pointed to some of these branches and explained.

"Look at this part of the timeline, from the timeline where the first traversing Thanos was, to the timeline where Iron Man snapped his fingers in the final battle."

"These more than twenty timelines, in their latter half, originally had other temporal branches."

B15 paused, pursing her lips, and continued.

"But those branches have now collapsed.

Because that group of Thanos decided to destroy the Universe at their respective points in time.

So the future of the entire timeline directly led to destruction."

At this moment, Tony rubbed his chin and asked in confusion:

"Wait, if Thanos decided to destroy the Universe,

shouldn't he, at his point in time,

create a new timeline leading to destruction,

and not affect the original main timeline?"

B15 shook her head at Tony's question.

"He is destroying the Universe with the Infinity Stones, Iron Man; the Infinity Stones contain the Time Stone."

"Using them to destroy the Universe will not create new timelines, but will truly and directly destroy it."

Tony frowned: "These Stones are truly unassailable."

Wanda, who had been grim-faced since seeing Thanos destroy the Universe, also asked:

"So, these more than twenty timelines, or Universes, have already been destroyed, and what we need to do is stop Thanos from continuing to destroy other Universes, right?"

"No, you are wrong, Witch." B15 shook her head.

"Although the TVA can see the beginning and end of every timeline."

"But this does not mean that the timeline has already reached its end."

B15 pointed to the temporal pad in Little Spider's hand.

"Using that, the TVA can freely travel to various nodes on every timeline."

"However, if you travel to the past, even killing Thanos will only create new temporal branches."

"So what we need to do is go to the moment Thanos snaps his fingers to destroy the Universe, stop them, and eliminate them!"

After B15 finished speaking, she stood with her hands behind her back, waiting for everyone's reaction.

"Excellent!" Tony snapped his fingers, "So we can solve the Thanos one by one like clearing a game, going from hell mode to normal mode!"

"Tony, you play too many virtual games."

Leon said from the side, "Also, it's not 'we,' it's 'I.' You can't deal with Thanos. I'll go."

"Actually." B15 hesitated slightly before speaking, "We have some helpers on the way, such as Deadpool, and Gold..."

"No, no, no! Absolutely not!" Holland-Spider suddenly clutched his chest.

"We agreed, B15! No Deadpool, no Deadpool! If you called me, you can't call him!"

Holland-Spider's panicked look was as if he was about to be tied to a rack and have his pants pulled off.

B15 shook her head helplessly: "But I notified you all at once; he just arrived late... He's here now."

She pointed behind Holland-Spider.

A temporal portal had opened there at some point, and Deadpool poked his head out cheekily, then walked out.

He was wearing his usual red tight-fitting suit, holding Deadpool Dog in his arms.

As he spoke, he also licked Deadpool Dog back as it licked his cheek.

"Oh ~ Peter! My dear Peter! How could you say that!"

"My heart is breaking, unless you can let me kiss your donut, or stuff your spider-egg into my..."

Deadpool, holding Deadpool Dog, pounced on Peter, pouting his lips, his arms spread like a bear's embrace.

"Ah ah ah! Don't come here! My eyes are going blind, quickly go back to your own toilet!"

Holland-Spider screamed in collapse.

His Peter's instincts wildly warned him of how terrible things would be next.

The alarm bells ringing in his head made him reflexively raise his hand, and a white web sealed Deadpool's mouth.

Then he jumped with all his might, kicking Deadpool back into the temporal portal in mid-air.

Before landing, he also snatched the temporal pad from Deadpool's hand.

Deadpool grunted after being kicked, completely unaware that something was missing from his hand.

When he completely fell back into the temporal portal.

Holland-Spider reflexively clicked the pad quickly, closing the temporal portal again.

The command room fell silent.

Only the sound of Holland-Spider heavily breathing could be heard.

No doubt, he was already sweating profusely.

Clap, clap clap, clap clap clap...

A few seconds later, B15 suddenly started clapping, and Leon and Tony followed suit.

"Proficient, too proficient, Peter, I can't imagine how much suffering you endured from Deadpoolthese past three years."

Leon walked forward, patted Holland-Spider's shoulder, a sympathetic look on his face.

"That must have been a very difficult time, right?"

Holland-Spider finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He stood up, leaning on his knees, and gave a bitter smile: "I think it's just as difficult now."

"B15, madam, boss!" He looked at his superior.

"Please don't call Deadpool again!"

"I don't think any Universe needs Deadpool to save it."

"If those Universes knew they were saved by Deadpool, they might prefer to die," Holland-Spider said somewhat exaggeratedly.

"Alright, if you all think this mission doesn't need Deadpool, then so be it."

B15 agreed: "Anyway, the main force this time is Superman; he is the Captain... if he agrees."

Facing B15's gaze, Leon nodded.

"No problem, I'll join this operation. Speaking of which, this change with Thanos is partly due to me."

Chapter 419 Step 1: Collect Infinity Gems

"It has something to do with Leon too? Why?" Holland-Spider was confused.

"Because of that Mind Stone," B15 explained.

"Superman traveled through a parallel Universe and took the Mind Stone, which led to Thanos's unprecedented behavior."

"Although the main reason for all this was Thanos's own ambition and strong drive,"

"Superman's actions were the fuse—that's how the Multiverse works; even the slightest change can stir up a World-destroying storm."

B15 placed one hand on her hip and looked at Leon: "Whether in the past or in the current TVA, Superman, your actions could be considered a Time criminal."

"Then it seems I should thank the TVA for not arresting me immediately."

Leon looked at the screen, "Don't worry, I'll take care of all this."

B15 shook her head and smiled: "The Celestials' Judge said you are already a conceptual entity, and we wouldn't dare arrest a conceptual entity."

"But Superman, I have a suggestion for you."

B15 said with a hint of seriousness, "If you continue to influence or change events in other Universes in the future,"

"It's best to do so as a conceptual entity and not take anything away."

"Not only because you will change the future direction of the World and create unstable factors,"

"But also because if you change too much, it will cause entanglement between Universes, ultimately leading to Universe collision!"

"Many Doctor Stranges from parallel Worlds interfered in other Universes without authorization and multiple times, leading to Universe collisions."

She pointed at Holland-Spider: "The current TVA's responsibility is to maintain the stability of the Multiverse, and Spider-Men have already arrested a large number of Time criminal Stranges."

Little Spider nodded repeatedly: "I've already arrested three Stephens; some wanted to resurrect Christine, and some wanted to… it seems they all wanted to resurrect their girlfriends."

"Wow, that Doctor Strange is so devoted? He's not much worse than me." Tony shamelessly praised himself.

"Forget it, Tony," Leon was used to Tony's narcissism.

After understanding the situation, he had a plan in mind.

"Let's go, we'll start acting, beginning with the first Thanos."

Leon took two Time tablets from Holland-Spider's hand and opened a Space-Time Gate.

Holland-Spider asked: "How are we going to solve it? Are we just going to confront him directly? Last time we fought Thanos, there were a lot of people gathered!"

"No, first we'll gather the Infinity Stones from my Universe," Leon stepped into the Space-Time Gate.

"Oh right! Only with Infinity Stones can we fight Infinity Stones! It's a pity that the ones in our Universe have already been destroyed by Thanos."

Holland-Spider followed Leon, with Tony and Wanda behind him.

B15 watched them leave, then silently turned back to the large screen.

After a moment of silence, she pressed a button.

A surveillance video began to play on the screen, from not long ago.

In the footage.

TVA agents activated the Time Crusher, attempting to destroy the timelines where the out-of-control Thanos were located.

The Time Crusher was the TVA's true trump card for resolving Multiverse crises.

It could destroy an entire timeline by utilizing matter-antimatter collision.

However, when the Time Crusher's energy was injected into the Universe where Thanos was located,

It was quickly nullified by the alert Thanos with a snap.

This action even aroused Thanos's high vigilance, as he tried to track the TVA using the Stones.

If it weren't for the TVA's magic suppression, it's impossible to imagine what kind of situation would have developed.

The video playback ended.

B15 sighed faintly: "After the six Stones converged, the Time Crusher also lost its effect. This time, we can truly only rely on Superman."

...

When everyone returned to Earth, it was still the next second after they left.

And they were at Tony's wedding.

Leon casually closed the Space-Time Gate.

Then he quietly said to the three who were already prepared for battle.

"You guys stay here and continue with the wedding."

"Tony, I know saving the World is important, and your sense of responsibility is also very important."

"But for Pepper, this once-in-a-lifetime wedding is equally important."

"I'll go collect the Infinity Stones first, then I'll come back for you."

Leon didn't give the three time to react.

After speaking, his figure disappeared directly from the spot.

"What? Impossible, you have to take me, that's… Damn it, brat!"

Tony was furious, but Leon had already run far away.

He suddenly looked at Little Spider: "Quick, open the Space-Time Gate, let's go straight back to the TVA!"

Holland-Spider innocently took off his mask: "But the tablets are all with Leon, we can't go back."

"Is there no backup? A backup for emergencies?" Tony was frantic.

"No," Little Spider's voice dropped, "I only have one, and Deadpool's was also taken by Leon."

"Fuck!" Tony cursed.

"Why are you cursing, Tony? Hey, is that Peter? You came to the wedding too, that's really great!" At this moment, Pepper walked over from a distance.

Tony froze for a moment.

He had no choice but to force a smile.

Putting his arm around Peter's shoulder: "That's right… Pepper, Peter specially came to the wedding, you know, he admires me a lot."

Little Spider quickly started to laugh awkwardly, nodding repeatedly.

Wanda, standing next to the two, also smiled at Pepper, though her eyes subtly held worry.

On the other side.

Leon arrived outside Earth.

"First, the Reality Stone."

Leon's palm simultaneously emitted five colors: blue, red, yellow, green, and purple.

"In 'What If…?', Gamora's Universe's Stone Crusher couldn't destroy the Infinity Ultron Universe's Stones."

"That means there are differences between Infinity Stones from different parallel Worlds."

"To maximize the power of the Stones, it's best to gather all six Stones from the same Universe."

"Currently, only the Reality and Soul Stones haven't been collected."

"The Reality Stone was sealed in a dimensional space on Earth by Asgard's previous God King."

"If I want to retrieve it…"

Leon's palm swept across the cosmic void, like an eraser wiping away chalk marks, and space quickly thinned.

Using the Stone's energy as a guide,

Leon quickly locked onto a space within a dimensional rift.

He formed several hand seals.

The sealed giant stone inside the space, inscribed with runic symbols, quickly weathered away.

The Aether Particle within the seal gushed out like water, flying towards Leon, dense in the air like scarlet blood.

As the Aether Particle approached, it suddenly went into a furious frenzy.

It spread out like a curtain, attempting to penetrate Leon's body through his mouth, nose, and skin.

But Leon merely waved his hand again.

The violent Aether Particle immediately quieted down.

Like a jackal meeting a lion.

Leon opened his palm, and with a thought,

The Aether Particle, spread out like woven fabric before him, immediately gathered rapidly.

Finally, it condensed into a scarlet Reality Stone in his palm.

"Reality Stone in hand!"

Leon absorbed the Reality Stone into his inner World, and the five-colored energy in his palm simultaneously extinguished.

"Next is the Soul Stone; it's time to find Thanos."

"But before finding Thanos…"

Leon turned to look at Earth, drew a line with his finger, cutting open space, and two graceful figures fell out.

Invisible spatial forces bound them, trapping the two next to Leon.

The two were wearing waterproof overalls used for farm work, covered in mud and grass clippings.

If one looked through the spatial rift, they would see Kamar-Taj's Small World on the other side.

And the location where the two were before was in front of piles of giant dragon feces.

Two iron forks stood there.

They were cleaning up the giant dragon's feces for the Small World.

"Gamora, Nebula, you two seem to have been trying to escape. Now's your chance; help me with one thing, and you can leave."

Leon spoke softly to the two figures with green and blue skin beside him, his voice crossing space and directly reaching their minds.

They were Thanos's two adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula.

A year ago.

The unfortunate Super Skrull, after defeating Thanos,

Unauthorizedly tied them up and gave them to Leon.

When Gaya, the leader, knelt on one knee, piled the two in front of Leon, and said Strange things about hot weapons,

Leon, who was sitting on the balcony, almost couldn't resist using the Time Stone to reverse time.

Because Kara was also sitting next to him at the time, and after hearing it, she looked at him as if he were a pervert.

To defend his image, Leon immediately told Gaya to throw the two to Tony to deal with.

And Tony happened to be watched by Pepper, so he later handed them over to Wong.

Finally, Wong assigned them the task of daily cleaning and collecting magical creature materials in the Small World.

The most strenuous of these was cleaning up giant dragon feces.

Because those big guys ate a lot and defecated a lot.

For the past year, Gamora and Nebula, who were abducted from the battlefield by the Skrull,

Had been endlessly shoveling, shoveling, and still shoveling feces.

At first, they tried to resist, even attempting to escape.

But after being beaten a few times by the passing Hulk, they became obedient.

At this moment, the two were trapped by invisible space.

Nebula, as a cyborg, was fine.

But Gamora couldn't even breathe in space.

Her body quickly froze and swelled, rapidly approaching Death.

Let alone agreeing to Leon's terms.

"Gamora!" Nebula exclaimed anxiously.

She struggled, wanting to pounce on Gamora, but couldn't even move a finger.

Seeing this, Leon gently waved his hand, and the temperature in the space trapping the two gradually rose, and air began to appear.

Gamora immediately opened her mouth wide, greedily gasping for air.

She leaned against the invisible spatial wall, struggling to look up, her eyes filled with anger and fear: "What do you want us to do?"

"Help me obtain the Soul Stone," Leon said, while beginning to draw a circle in the air.

"Impossible! The whereabouts of the Soul Stone are unknown throughout the Universe; we have no clue where to even look for it. You might as well throw us back into that pile of feces!" Gamorasaid stubbornly.

"Throw you back? Are you addicted to cleaning feces?"

Leon looked at Gamora in surprise.

"Or are you happy with a peaceful life, even if it's dirty and tiring?"

The Mystic Art of Portals that Leon was casting connected to Thanos's location.

He stepped inside, and the two beside him also floated into the Mystic Art of Portals with him.

"But I'm sorry, even if you love giant dragon feces to Death, I still need your help to obtain the Soul Stone."

Leon, with Gamora and Nebula, appeared in the main control room of a battleship.

He looked at the tall figure on the main seat not far away and said softly.

"Of course, you can refuse, but I also won't accept your refusal, because you are prisoners."

Chapter 420: Leon: The Order of Sacrifice Is Reversed

This is the command room of a main ship of Thanos's Legion.

Although it was a command room, it was actually more like a cave where a thousand-year-old demon from a horror story would hide.

The walls were made of jagged stone, adorned with light strips that, in the dim environment, resembled static lava.

Beneath the walls,

murky, shallow water surrounded Thanos's throne.

The throne was entirely made of stone, like a tombstone weathered over thousands of years.

Thanos sat on the tombstone, his hands resting on the armrests, his eyes closed, a tyrannical aura naturally emanating from him.

"Hmph!"

The moment Gamora saw Thanos, she instinctively let out a gasp, like a sob.

But she immediately suppressed her voice.

She then stared incredulously at Leon, her eyes darting wildly, trying to convey the message to retreat immediately.

Nebula on the other side was no better.

Upon seeing Thanos, a look of tension appeared on her usually indifferent face.

Leon took in both their expressions.

He smiled and amplified his voice towards the throne:

"Thanos, your two adopted daughters haven't seen you in a year, yet neither shows any joy at your reunion. As a foster father, you're even more of a failure than Odin."

After speaking, he snapped his fingers, releasing his Space constraint on Gamora and Nebula.

The two looked at Leon, landing with a thump, their faces bearing a "What the hell?" expression.

They couldn't believe Leon not only didn't flee but dared to provoke him.

On the throne, Thanos slowly opened his eyes.

His murderous gaze fell upon Leon: "Who are you?"

Then he saw his two daughters on the ground.

At this, he couldn't sit still, pushing off the armrests of the throne and abruptly standing up.

"Gamora! How are you here…?" Thanos was somewhat agitated.

He had been tracking the Skrull for a year.

And he had been separated from his daughter for a year, so how could he not be agitated?

But Thanos quickly realized what had happened.

His stern gaze returned to Leon: "Did you save her, or are you a Skrull?!"

Thanos said, walking down from the throne.

His tall stature was incredibly imposing, and an invisible pressure radiated outwards, making one involuntarily want to tremble.

However, Leon remained unfazed.

He did not answer Thanos's question.

Instead, he pointed to Nebula, who had silently stood up, her eyes dim.

"Two daughters, yet you only care about Gamora. Favoritism is one thing, but being so blatant about it isn't conducive to family harmony, Thanos."

Thanos glanced at Nebula: "They are both my daughters. If you saved them, you will receive two equal rewards."

"But if you are a Skrull, or stand with them…"

Thanos slowly walked towards Leon, casually drawing the double-edged war blade from beside his throne.

Clearly, he had already made a judgment.

As Thanos tightened his grip on the war blade and drew closer, the atmosphere became as taut as a violin string.

But Gamora suddenly relaxed, even letting out a sneer.

Everything before had been too rushed.

She only now suddenly remembered.

The man who brought them here was an existence that those terrifying Skrull knelt before, calling him "Master."

This guy clashing with Thanos and both getting hurt would actually be good news for her.

However, the situation did not unfold as she had expected.

Thanos approached with a grim face.

Leon, unhurriedly, opened another Mystic Art of Portals.

On the other side of the Mystic Art of Portals was a strange landscape of salt lakes and sand alternating.

Leon stepped through: "Follow me."

The three people in the command room were stunned.

His tone was so unyielding, anyone who didn't know might have thought Leon was their boss, about to take them out to buy watermelon.

Gamora and Nebula exchanged glances, hesitated slightly, then followed Leon to the other side.

Thanos, however, stood grim-faced before the Mystic Art of Portals.

"Who exactly are you?" His voice was as low as a saw chain grinding against steel rebar.

"Who I am isn't important," Leon said.

He looked at Thanos with amusement.

This Universe overlord was truly traumatized by the Super Skrull.

Any other Thanos from another Universe, even if it were a trap, would have stepped through the Mystic Art of Portals directly at this point.

Because he possessed the absolute confidence and daring to dominate the Universe.

But this current Thanos had been ambushed multiple times by the Super Skrull using such baiting tactics.

So he was very cautious.

So cautious that he was imagining—

The moment he stepped through that golden door,

a hundred or so Skrull would immediately leap out from behind it and hack him to pieces.

"You don't need to care who I am. What's important is that this is Vormir, the location of the Soul Stone, and your last chance," Leon continued.

After speaking, he turned and walked deeper into Vormir, beckoning to Thanos.

"Follow along."

Thanos didn't move, but Gamora and Nebula followed Leon instead.

Although they were actually part of Thanos's faction,

seeing Thanos in a predicament at this moment, the smiles on their lips were completely unconcealable, clearly feeling very pleased.

Thanos stood alone behind the Mystic Art of Portals, his expression shifting between dark and light as he watched the three walk away.

Finally, he took a step and walked through the Mystic Art of Portals.

He did not consider bringing his troops.

Because there was no need.

Time and again, the wars had shown that in the face of the Super Skrull, even vast numbers of ordinary fleets were meaningless.

Moreover, the Black Order had already died.

Thanos had no one left to use.

The moment Thanos entered Vormir from the main control room, the Mystic Art of Portalsclosed.

He immediately gripped his war blade, ready to face the impending attack.

However, after slowly looking around,

Thanos discovered that this was just a simple salt flat.

There were no enemies, nor any Super Skrull hiding in the dark, ready to ambush him.

Frowning, he silently followed the three figures in the distance.

A few minutes later,

a figure floating in the air, shrouded entirely in a black robe that fluttered in the wind, blocked their path.

He was the 'Ghost' responsible for guiding visitors to the Soul Stone here.

"Greetings, everyone, welcome here."

He called out the names and origins of the arrivals one by one.

"Thanos, son of A'lars."

"And Thanos's daughters, Gamora and Nebula."

The black-robed man then looked at Leon: "You… you seem to be the son of Stark, yet you are shrouded in mist."

Leon scrutinized the black-robed man: "If you mean foster father, then yes, it's Stark. Red Skull, take us to the altar. Your mission ends today."

"You know me!" The black-robed man was startled.

But then quickly calmed down: "Red Skull was my former name. Now I am merely a solitary soul exiled by the Space Stone."

He landed on the ground and turned to walk towards the mountain behind him.

"You have come for the Soul Stone, so I presume you are prepared for sacrifice. Follow me."

Walking up the rugged, broken mountain path,

they stopped at the edge of a cliff overlooking a bottomless abyss.

"The Soul Stone is different from the other Infinity Stones; to obtain it, the rule is a soul for a soul."

Red Skull said, looking at the altar below the cliff.

"You must sacrifice the soul of someone you deeply love to make it appear."

After a few seconds of silence,

Gamora suddenly sneered.

"The soul of someone deeply loved?"

"Then it seems we came here for nothing."

She crossed her arms and looked at Leon.

"No one here has ever loved another person. Your name is Superman, isn't it? That's what everyone calls you. You brought us here for nothing."

"For nothing? I don't think so." Leon calmly looked at Thanos.

Thanos had already begun to perform steadily.

He stared fixedly at the bottom of the cliff, already understanding what he needed to pay to obtain the Soul Stone.

When he turned his head, there was a tear stain on his face.

Gamora and Nebula looked on in disbelief.

"He cried because he couldn't get the Soul Stone? Don't joke around, how could someone like you…" Gamora stumbled back a few steps, caught off guard.

"No, he's crying because he loves you too much, but has no choice but to sacrifice you," Leon explained.

"That's impossible…" Gamora tried to deny it.

But when she met Thanos's eyes, she instantly knew Leon was right.

The love and reluctance in those eyes were so genuine.

"You're joking, you absolutely must be joking!"

Gamora's pupils dilated, and she turned to run without hesitation.

"I can't die for a stone! And I certainly can't die for him!"

However, her slender arm was casually grabbed by Thanos, unable to break free even an inch.

Thanos, with reddened eyes, looked at Leon.

The two completely opposite temperaments—tough guy tenderness and chilling murderous intent—intertwined within him.

"If your goal is to steal the Soul Stone, then you will gain nothing!"

Thanos declared war with a cold voice.

"And I will take everything that belongs to me from you!"

He knew Leon had ill intentions.

But he had no retreat.

According to intelligence, the Skrull already had two Stones.

The other Stones were either in the hands of powerful individuals or there was no news of them yet.

He only had a glimmer of hope to fulfill his mission if he obtained the Soul Stone and fought with his back against the wall.

Thanos, with tears of heartbreak, resolutely threw Gamora towards the cliff.

*Splat!*

However, a hand at that moment gripped his wrist.

And it kept the despairing Gamora and his arm together at the cliff's edge.

The hand was slender, seemingly lacking the roughness a warrior's hand should have, yet its strength was incredibly immense.

Thanos couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried, just like Gamora, whom he had grabbed.

"What else do you want to do?!" Thanos demanded, his face grim, questioning Leon.

"My apologies, you got the order wrong. I need to correct it."

Leon, gripping Thanos's wrist, threw a punch, striking Thanos in the face.

*Bang!*

Thanos was knocked out with one punch, falling to the ground cleanly and abruptly.

Gamora also fell to the ground.

Gamora, who was in despair a second ago,

and Nebula, who was distraught because Thanos only loved her sister but was going to sacrifice her, and for other reasons,

both stared blankly at Leon.

They were completely unable to understand what Leon intended to do.

"Don't look at me like that. It's your turn now. If you don't want to keep cleaning dragon dung, then throw Thanos down."

Leon pointed to the cliff.

This was his plan from the beginning.

He had originally intended to tie up Thanos and bring him here, then have the Gamora sisters throw him down as a sacrifice.

But he hadn't expected Thanos to follow him blindly.

Like a porcupine foolishly rushing under a tiger's belly in the forest.

The Gamora sisters looked incredulous.

They pointed at themselves dumbfounded: "We sacrifice Thanos?"

"Don't joke around! Do you think we love him? He's a butcher, a madman, a demon with blood on his hands!" Gamora cried out loudly.

She really cried, crying and shouting, shouting and crying, hysterically.

Desperately trying to prove to Leon, or to herself, that she didn't love Thanos.

Nebula was much quieter, but she also shook her head in disbelief.

"Impossible. The person I hate most is Gamora, and next is Father… Thanos."

She pointed to her forehead, questioning with a firm tone.

"Every time I lost to Gamora in training, he would convert a part of me into machinery!"

"I'm not human, nor a weapon. I've become a monstrous hybrid. How can you possibly think I would love him?!"
