When you came to this universe, my universe became independent of the original timeline, forming a new multiverse.
And I, as the current Sorcerer Supreme and guardian of the Eye of Agamotto, cannot give you the Stone."
As soon as she finished, Iron Man curled his lips and glanced behind him.
The Hulk gave him a reassuring look.
Then the Hulk stepped forward, striking a fighting pose, and confidently walked toward the Ancient One.
"You can't stop me!"
He said, then stood confidently in front of the Ancient One, believing he had the ability to take the Stone.
As for whether this was robbery, since it was to save the world, everyone except Cap could understand.
As long as they returned it afterward, it would be fine.
But his plan was too idealistic. As for reality…
The Ancient One gently pushed out her palm, striking the Hulk's chest without any apparent force.
Boom!!!
Though there was no sound, it felt like a thunderous explosion. Iron Man and the others were stunned, while Banner…
His soul had already flown out of the Hulk's body and floated above the Ancient One's roof.
At this, the atmosphere fell completely silent. Cap looked helplessly at the others, who were already speechless.
He could only personally plead with the Ancient One,
"Sorcerer Supreme, we've probably made a big mistake, but I hope you'll give us some time to explain everything.
We really need the Time Stone!"
"Hmm, I can give you time to explain, but the Time Stone is absolutely impossible!" The Ancient One said, turning to open the attic door and walking inside.
Cap followed behind her, continuing as they walked,
"Also, our time travel seems to have gone wrong. We'd like to use your place to hide for a while.
Sorry for the trouble, but we'll find a way to make it up."
"It's nothing. Follow me. That big guy, the Hulk, right? Just float in."
As she spoke, the Ancient One led them to her private meditation room in the New York Sanctum, personally pouring tea for everyone.
When Banner's soul sat in front of the tea, completely clueless about what to do, the Ancient One raised her hand and said,
"Please have some tea, and tell me about your situation."
"Thank you!"
Cap acknowledged, then recounted Thanos, their time travel situation, their need for the Infinity Stones, and their plan.
During this, Iron Man used his AI, Friday, to quickly hack into the planet's network and conduct a comprehensive search of the current world!
The more he searched, the more anxious he became.
By the end, his face was as pale as paper!
At that moment, Cap finished telling the Ancient One about the future. After thinking, she gave her answer.
"I understand!"
The Ancient One said.
"Strange indicated there's only one way to defeat Thanos, so he surrendered the Stone and willingly died. You think now is the time he spoke of, right?"
Saying this, she raised her right hand, and the Eye of Agamotto, the Time Stone, floated into her palm.
"Strange is indeed the best among us at grasping the future. If that were all, I might agree to give you the Stone.
But unfortunately, the world is different now. One of my friends might have a different opinion about the Stone.
So I must consult him before making any decisions.
If you have time, I can take you to meet him!
But please show him respect; he's not very patient!"
As soon as she finished, Iron Man asked anxiously,
"The person you're talking about, is it Heisenberg?"
"Correct!" The Ancient One nodded.
In an instant, Iron Man slammed the table.
"This is fucking ridiculous!!!"
He stood up angrily, his face filled with resentment and pain as he shouted at the Ancient One,
"Why didn't such a damn ridiculously strong bastard appear in my world?
If he were there, if he were there… we…
Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!"
By the end, Iron Man was almost in tears. He sat back down and desperately rubbed his beard.
Beside him, Cap and the others had no idea why Iron Man was so upset.
But considering Iron Man's unstable state, they asked the Ancient One,
"Sorcerer Supreme, who is this Heisenberg…?"
Before the Ancient One could answer, Iron Man slammed the table again.
"He's the Superman from the comics, a damn Kryptonian stranded on Earth.
He's the guy who knocked out the Hulk with three punches, took down Loki with one move, and bent Thor's hammer with his bare hands—a damn bastard who didn't appear in our universe!"
As he spoke, Iron Man's right hand clamped his mouth shut, his voice slightly choked.
"If he'd been with us on Titan, then Peter…
This damn fate is fucking bullshit!!!"
