Chapter 149 When you play with time, time will play with you...
Tony's words successfully drew everyone's attention to Toby, who had seemed very reliable since his arrival, and they all looked at him with anticipation.
The saying goes, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly." Perhaps Toby, this bystander from another universe, is able to make a clear-headed and correct choice compared to them!
Facing the trusting and expectant gazes of all the Avengers, Toby showed no stage fright whatsoever, as if these people were still members of his cosmic Spider Family, and he was still the one-man Spider Family leader.
Toby sat in his chair, his hand supporting his chin, his tone calm yet carrying the unquestionable authority of someone in a superior position: "My suggestion is to resolve the risks first, and then use the six gems to bring everyone back."
"As I said before, time is different in the quantum realm. Although you've only been back for a short time, a lot of time may have passed for Thanos. No one can guarantee that Thanos won't suddenly appear when the snap of his fingers is made, so let's eliminate this threat first!"
"And let's not put the six Infinity Stones together for now. You can keep these three, and I'll keep the three from my universe myself. Once we've dealt with Thanos, I'll lend them to you to resurrect the others."
Faced with Toby's answer, most of the others, who were already inclined to deal with Thanos first and then summon back those who had been annihilated by Thanos, nodded in agreement.
Captain America nodded and said, "Okay, Tony, put the gem away."
After Tony put the three Infinity Stones away from the table, Captain America looked around at everyone again and said seriously, "Then we'll deal with Thanos first. Now there's only one question: who will destroy Thanos's mothership?"
Although Captain America asked this question, everyone actually knew that, apart from Captain Marvel who was far away, there were only three people present who were capable of destroying Thanos's mothership by themselves.
First, after obtaining the Stormbreaker, Thor ascended to the God-King level, catching even Thanos, who possessed six Infinity Stones, off guard.
However, after seeing his large belly and disheveled, unreliable appearance, everyone doubted whether Thor still possessed the formidable strength he had displayed when he nearly killed Thanos with a single axe blow...
Then there's the "four-legged creature" Doctor Green, created by the fusion of Hulk and Bruce Banner.
However, Doctor Green has the same problem as Thor: compared to his pure Hulk form, Doctor Green's power has actually decreased by a significant amount!
Originally, Hulk had a buff that made him angrier and stronger the more he fought, but ever since Dr. Banner erased Hulk's will and took control of Hulk's body himself.
Besides losing his original rage buff, the most important thing is that Dr. Banner, as a researcher, is simply not suited for combat!
Hulk's strength is suited to a savage fighting style, but now that it's been replaced by the bookish Dr. Banner, the fight is, to put it bluntly, like a complete idiot with zero combat experience.
so......
In the end, everyone's attention turned back to Toby.
Powerful, Thanos doesn't know the details, reliable!
With all three of these qualities combined, Toby is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to launch a surprise attack on Thanos's mothership!
But here's the problem...
Tobey is from another universe, overseeing the safety of the Infinity Stones in their universe. How could they possibly let someone risk their life to help them destroy Thanos's warship...?
Seeing their gazes, Toby naturally understood their meaning. With a slight smile, he took the initiative and said, "Alright, I'll handle destroying Thanos's mothership. I also want to use Thanos from another universe to see just how strong our universe's Thanos really is."
The Avengers felt embarrassed when Toby took on the task.
They borrowed gems from others, asked for advice, and now they want others to take on the most dangerous part.
They can never repay Toby's kindness!
Finally, all the Avengers assured Toby that their entire universe owed him a huge favor.
While they cannot guarantee that everyone will appreciate this kindness, they can ensure that every member of their Avengers will remember it.
Whenever Toby needs help in the future, the Avengers of their universe will do everything in their power to help him!
That promise from them was enough for Toby!
After all, didn't he come to this universe for the sake of "human favors"?
Everyone in this universe owes themselves a favor, right? That means... Bambi, sitting at the end of time, is also in debt!
Rounding down, it's like the god of stories owes himself a favor!
The moment Toby had this thought...
Beneath a World Tree entwined with countless emerald green timelines, a golden-horned deer, also entangled and wrapped in timelines, twitched its lips on its 'golden toilet'.
He looked at the special timeline he held tightly in his right palm, his expression complex, his eyes filled with deep affection yet also with helplessness.
Finally, He sighed and whispered, "Thor, although I have altered the fixed tragic fate of each parallel universe, I can no longer personally interfere with their destiny..."
"All I can do for you, for Asgard, for the Nine Realms, for my universe is to bring you a new hope, nothing more..."
Indeed, just as Toby had thought, although Loki had become the god of stories who held the fate of the multiverse in his hands, he could not truly become a ruthless machine of destiny.
Or rather, if Loki were truly ruthless, he wouldn't be able to sit on the throne of time.
Therefore, Loki still harbors personal feelings for the universe he created, especially Thor and Asgard in that universe, and will not allow all tragedies to occur.
But because He was trapped on the throne, He was unable to personally change some tragedies.
Therefore, at the predetermined point in time in His universe—the point at which He would traverse parallel universes—Loki made an unconventional intervention.
He manipulated time, which he now excelled at, and changed the timeline universe that Tony and the others would have traveled to, sending them to another timeline universe in 2012.
That timeline is... Toby's universe.
This is a special universe where the only variable exists in the multiverse!
The impact it will have on the multiverse in the future will be comparable to that of the divine timeline!
This is the only change Loki made to His universe, and also the most important one!
Toby believed it was a coincidence that someone from the universe where the god of the story resided would travel to his universe.
Even the Ancient One and Odin thought so, so they wanted to seize this opportunity to curry favor with the gods and approached Toby, hoping he could get on board with the universe of the God of Stories.
But no one expected that the story of the people from the God of Stories' universe traveling to Toby's universe was not an accident at all, but a story carefully woven by the God of Stories!
This tells us that when you scheme against others, you may very well already be part of their schemes...
Loki was initially smiling as he watched everything unfolding in His universe from a godlike perspective, but his gaze suddenly turned sharply to the World Tree, which was composed of countless intertwined timelines.
On the World Tree, a timeline suddenly changed from a vibrant emerald green to deathly gray at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Loki frowned, raised his left hand, grasped the timeline that had turned ashen and was wrapped around his body, and closed his eyes.
His gaze pierced through the river of time in an instant, ignoring the barriers of the universe, and saw the scene unfolding in the universe where the dead timeline was located.
Tracing back to the source of a universe on the verge of death, Loki's gaze fell upon an old castle, and he focused his attention on it.
Loki first saw a dining table.
To Loki's surprise, there was a person lying on the long dining table—it was Spider-Man, dressed in a red and blue spider suit!
