The group became angrier the more they thought about it. They were certain that if Nick Fury were here right now, they would definitely give him a beating!
And this, naturally, was something Ryan had said on purpose.
After all, he was going to take these people back to his own Universe, and the Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. of his own Universe had just been bloodily purged by him. Therefore, he needed to take this opportunity to erase the last shred of their filtered view of Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. first!
And by now, it had been erased just about enough.
Ryan took the signal transmitter from Iron Lady's hand and crushed it with his fingers without the slightest hesitation.
Next, he opened a red web portal in front of him again and smiled, saying:
"So don't pin your hopes on this piece of junk. There is nothing left for you to do here. Natasha, you take them to Parker Industries to get settled in first."
"Oh, right, Ironheart was bitten by a zombie earlier. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, after you get back, take her to the R&D department first. Have her quarantined along with Otto Parker and Queen Ramonda, who were also infected."
Natasha, who understood Ryan's personality very well, nodded immediately: "Understood, BOSS. Let's go, sisters. Let us bid farewell to this apocalypse and return to the normal World!"
Hearing this, Yelena and Iron Lady, as well as the group of Black Widow members, naturally had no objections.
After all, they had long since had enough of this apocalypse and were eager to leave.
Therefore, after nodding at Ryan and casting grateful glances his way, they dragged the still-unconscious Red Guardian with them and followed in Natasha's footsteps, leaving this World through the web portal.
However, there were still a few people present whose expressions were hesitant, and they did not choose to leave immediately.
One was Moon Knight, who always wore an indifferent expression.
The others were the trio of dorks.
Don't let their dorkiness fool you; they were actually quite loyal.
Kamala: "Mr. Parker, aren't you coming with us? If you aren't leaving, then we aren't leaving either. We are a team, right, Riri, Kate?"
Kate: "That's right, Ryan. We aren't leaving. You saved my life; I can't abandon you alone in this dangerous World filled with zombies!"
Ironheart: "Captain, although I don't know what you plan to do by staying behind, I've already been infected anyway. Might as well let me stay and use my professional knowledge to help you!"
Upon hearing this, Ryan's mouth twitched violently.
Their words sounded quite touching, but why couldn't he feel moved at all?
After all, he was staying behind for his own purposes, not because he was actually staying to cover their retreat or was about to die. What kind of flag was he supposed to be raising...
Therefore, Ryan simply grabbed them by the back of their collars one by one and threw them into the portal.
First was Ironheart: "Stay behind to help me with your professional knowledge? I do value your professional knowledge, but your stage isn't here; it's in my Universe, so off you go!"
Having said that, Ryan threw Ironheart into the portal.
Next was Kate: "And you, do you think that with your strength, you can help me with anything by staying behind? By cheering me on with your fireworks arrows?"
As he spoke, Ryan also threw the overconfident Kate into the portal.
Finally, it was Kamala: "Your abilities aren't bad, but you aren't a team with me. You're just my accessories, nothing more. You also get..."
As he spoke, Ryan was about to throw Kamala into the portal as well.
But halfway through the throw, Ryan yanked Kamala back by her scarf.
Kamala: (╯°Д°)╯
This almost strangled Kamala!
Who pulls someone back halfway through throwing them?
Ryan looked at Kamala, whom he was holding like a chick, and his gaze shifted to her bracelet:
"Kamala, you won't need to fight in my World either, so lend me your bracelet for a while."
Hearing this, Kamala hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly took off the bracelet and handed it to Ryan:
"Mr. Parker, this was left to me by my grandmother. You must not lose it or break it, okay!"
Ryan took the bracelet and perfunctorily replied: "Yeah, sure, I guess..."
Kamala was stunned: "I guess?"
"Ah~~~~"
Then, before she could give any more instructions to the perfunctory Ryan, she had already been thrown by Ryan into the portal.
Finally, Ryan looked at the only one who hadn't left, Moon Knight: "What about you? Why aren't you leaving? Don't tell me it's because of that moronic 'team' reason like them?"
Moon Knight shook his head: "No. I'm not leaving because I am currently Khonshu's avatar. If I were to go to another Universe, I would lose my status as Khonshu's avatar, and Khonshu would have to find a new avatar."
At this moment, Khonshu emerged from Moon Knight's body again and shouted at Ryan:
"Exactly, kid from another Universe. Although most Universes have my avatars, even if yours has my avatar, He would already have His own agent. If you make Brooks go to another World, aren't you causing him to lose my protection?"
"Besides, what am I supposed to do without him? In this Universe where over 90% of humanity has turned into zombies, where do you expect me to find another agent as suitable as this? Are you going to replace Brooks?!"
"Wait?! Hold on, that idea actually sounds pretty good. How about you become my new agent, and I'll let Brooks leave this World. How about it?"
Watching Khonshu, who revealed his true purpose as he spoke, Ryan looked at Him with nothing but disdain:
"Get lost! Your mediocre, half-baked trashy powers are only something that low-tier superheroes would find appealing. Do you think I would care for them?"
Ryan's words were like a sharp arrow, precisely piercing Khonshu's fragile little heart.
And it seemed this arrow had been fired with too much force; after piercing through Khonshu, it also hit Moon Knight, who was standing behind Khonshu.
A single sentence silenced both Khonshu and Moon Knight.
Only low-tier superheroes would find it appealing—wasn't he the one who found it appealing?
Wasn't this effectively saying that he was a low-tier superhero?
Although compared to those as strong as gods, and this superhero in front of him who was even more powerful than gods, he was indeed a low-tier superhero...
Ryan didn't bother to comfort the man and deity he had silenced, and his gaze shifted back to Moon Knight: "Are you sure you won't leave this hopeless World?"
Moon Knight nodded slightly and said indifferently: "I'm not leaving. I originally lived in the darkness. To me, this World isn't actually that different from before the apocalypse; it's just that instead of hunting Vampires, I'm now hunting zombies..."
Hearing this, Ryan shrugged and didn't say anything more; instead, he directly closed the web portal.
It was fine if Moon Knight didn't leave; this way, he would have someone to talk to in this World. Furthermore, given Moon Knight's abilities, he believed he wouldn't be a burden.
Next, Ryan casually put Kamala's bracelet on his wrist.
And the moment he put it on, a green light and a blue light flashed across Ryan's eyes respectively.
He clearly sensed that the Time Stone and Space Stone stored within his body had formed a connection with the bracelet on his wrist!
It was as if... it had become a container for using them, just like the Infinity Gauntlet?
Ryan extended the hand wearing the bracelet and clenched his five fingers.
He saw a flash of blue light on the bracelet, and a blue spatial wormhole opened instantly!
When he relaxed his clenched fingers, the spatial wormhole vanished instantly.
Next, Ryan reached out with his bracelet-wearing hand toward the signal transmitter he had crushed earlier and twisted his fingers in a counter-clockwise direction.
The next moment, a miraculous thing happened. The signal transmitter, which had been crushed into pieces by him, was enveloped in green light and, as if time were reversing, actually returned to its complete form!
And as Ryan twisted his fingers back clockwise, the restored signal transmitter gradually returned to its original shattered state!
Seeing this scene, Ryan's eyes were covered in the golden light of the Mind Stone as he scanned his surroundings.
Then, the corner of his mouth curled into an arc, which grew wider and wider: "Incredible, truly incredible. Not only does this bracelet allow me to use the powers of the Space Stone and the Time Stone with zero consumption, but using it to wield the Time Stone also doesn't cause the boundaries of time to be broken, triggering spatial paradoxes or time loops?"
