Norman Osborne arrives at Otto's laboratory with a cane, and Otto is happily talking to him about the future of neural control, saying that 'as long as you can control machinery, it doesn't matter if the body is frozen'.

On the bench, a black metal arm is attached to a cylinder, and the muscles are distinctly textured, as if a human arm has been painted with metallic paint.

"That's all it takes."

He said, inserting a chip shown to Norman Osborne into the device behind his neck, connecting the device around his neck to the computer like a braid.

"Whoa—whoa—come on!"

Otto was also a little excited.

Initiate!

"Uh——!"

Seeing Otto gritting his teeth and enduring something, Norman Osborne asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"A little side effect, it makes you feel like you have a kettle on your head...... But it doesn't matter, I'll improve, I'll improve, trust me. ”

Norman Osborne didn't dwell on the side effects that Otto had shown at the beginning, but watched quietly.

"Come on, come on, get moving."

Otto's eyes almost popped out, as if he was about to use his telekinesis to move the metal arm on the bench.

Finally, as his eyes were about to pop out, the metal arm finally moved its fingers.

There's a baseball next to it, which was placed there on purpose.

Otto's breathing grew heavier, and the metal arm lifted under his control, reaching forward, and was about to catch the baseball.

Norman Osborne was also intrigued, and Otto's research was also one of his backup options, albeit a very low-priority one.

Tick tick tick

The computer sends out an alarm, the calculation is at its limit, and the machine is overloaded.

"No, it's a little closer, it's a little close!"

Otto didn't care, he wanted to continue, but the device behind him was already sparking.

"Stop!"

Norman Osborne shouted.

But Otto didn't listen to it at all, and the whole person seemed to be crazy.

Norman Osborne was also anxious, saw the red panic button next to him, and smashed it with a cane.

……

The power was cut off, and everything calmed down, except for the scorching smell that lingered in the air for a while.

"Otto! You've failed again! ”

Norman Osborne yelled angrily, and then calmed himself down, his current body was not fit for such anger.

Otto recovered from his defeat and struggled to find an excuse, just as he had done before.

"The computing power is still a little worse, not enough to compute the neural network, so it is overloaded."

While he couldn't fault the reason he gave for his defeat, Norman Osborne didn't want to support the guy anymore.

Experiments failed one after another, and the super-soldier serum and dragon blood, which had some faint hope, were deemed impossible, and he now had to consider the exposition that Warren was talking about.

He was tempted to close Otto's lab now and let out the guy who had been spending his money and had been failing, but he decided to give him another chance when he saw the guy's trembling hands.

"In a while, you will also go to the Stark Expo."

He left this sentence and decided to give him another chance.

One last chance.

"Hold your breath and imagine where you're going, and use your spirit to fill in the coordinates for spells......"

At the Overwatch headquarters, Nightmare and Warren are alone with a Hanging Ring to open a portal.

Their hands drew circles in the air like tai chi, but they didn't draw a nightmare for a long time - except for their sore arms.

And Warren's side has achieved a little success, and there are constantly sparks of magic in the air, but they can't be coherent and complete the spell in one go.

Nightmare didn't have any source of magic, although he had gained Ophelia's memories and could set up a formation ritual to become a believer in the god of dark magic, borrowing magic from him, and according to his memory, the god was quite generous in this regard.

But forget it, he doesn't want to become a cultist.

When the first rare card was ten in a row, Warren drew a white card [Occult Talent], which was just right to use at this time.

However, judging from the practice of the past two days, he should draw more rare cards and upgrade this white card.

The white card-level [occult talent] has only rubbed a little magic spark for two days, and he doesn't know how long it will take to practice this portal technique if he wants to really master it.

"That's all for today."

Warren stopped and went to the side to wipe his sweat with a towel, after all, it was still quite tiring to keep concentrating on consuming mana.

Nightmare didn't feel tired, after all, he was only here to make soy sauce, and he was responsible for relaying the magical knowledge of Ophelia's memories to Warren.

"Then I'll be off work."

He lowered his hanging ring.

"Tomorrow you should go back to your original post, I have found a feeling, you can contact yourself."

“OK。”

After the nightmare left, Warren contacted himself for a while.

In the past two days, he has even pushed off his work a lot, and he has concentrated on practicing this portal.

Suddenly, the True Eye of the Evil King had a warning effect, and he chanted a spell in his heart, and his left eye turned a golden patch, and he scanned the surroundings.

An illusory spirit floats to the side, wearing a yellow robe and a big man's hairstyle.

Although the big guy's hairstyle is just no hair.

I'm not sure if it's the big guy, because I can't find any news about that guy on the Internet.

Or is it something else?

"I'm resting today, and I'm not seeing any guests." Warren said tentatively.

"My name is Ancient One, in fact, you should be looking for me." The mage on the other side spoke.

"I'm looking for you?"

This made Warren a little confused.

"This world is not static, there are many possibilities for the future, and you have a great influence on the future, and the trouble you cause should be solved by you."

The Ancient One spoke something that Warren didn't understand.

Am I influencing the future?

I'll admit, that's normal, but what's the trouble?

"Can you elaborate on the trouble?"

The Supreme Mage Ancient One, the big guy who can peek into the future with the Time Gem.

"The reason why trouble is trouble is that even if you know in advance, you can't stop it."

Ancient One's answer made Warren a little depressed.

"Why can't it be stopped?"

"Because you stop it, it will appear another way."

Observations of multiple future timelines to draw conclusions?

The Ancient One and Doctor Strange, as Supreme Mages, control the Time Gem, and observing the timeline is the basic operation.

"But I still want to know what the trouble is."

I won't stop it in advance, I'll prepare for the head office first, right?

"Then you can reminisce about it, goodbye." Gu Yi smiled and waved, and his soul left at the speed of light.

"Hey, hey?"

As soon as Gu finished talking about the dumb riddle and left, Warren thought to himself that it would be okay if I didn't ask you, but you can help me solve the problem of spell cultivation before leaving, Supreme Mage.

"Reminiscing?"

The meaning of the ancient one is that the trouble that will happen next is what I know...... Is it the trouble I've seen in Marvel dramas?

Supreme Mage Gu Yi's words are still trustworthy, and because of her peep into the future, she seems to know herself.

But what's that trouble?

At this time, Thor has not yet come, let alone Loki, who is a two-and-five-boy boy, and it will be some time before the Zetarians invade the earth.

In the case of mutants, Phoenix killed the professor, Wolverine killed Phoenix, Magneto also hiccuped, and the three mutant bosses Huang Quan gathered, what other mutants would be trouble?

Superheroes and villains?

Hulk is good...... Forget it, let's check it out later.

The villain of Iron Man in this time period should be Ivan Vanko, but although the Vanke father and son don't have anything good to say about Tony Stark now, because Anthony Vanko is not dead, it is at most a few words of scolding.

Could it be the villain in Iron Man III?

Sorry, I forgot the name of that lame little fire dragon, he has a virus that can cause the human body to explode into heat.

But what does the Desperate Virus have to do with me? I didn't make it...... Forget it, write it down in a small notebook, and let Garrett investigate it later.

The hydra lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. was also dealt with by itself, and the villain of Team 2 of the United States was eliminated.

The villain of the American team three is caused by the casualties of the Avengers II, and it has not yet appeared, and it is impossible.

Spider-Man's words, Spider-Man is still a kid now, and the villain will not appear until after the Avengers, Peter Parker Warren asked the Red Queen to check.

His parents, who worked for the Osborne Group, died in a plane accident, and his uncle, Ben Parker, was still a child.

……

Warren checked little by little, and felt that he couldn't find where the damn trouble was.

"What's missing?"

He had a headache thinking about it, and simply lay on the ground and looked at the ceiling.

The Ancient One Knows Me?

She said I'm looking for her?

But I didn't, that's what I'm looking for in the future.

When I look for her, it is very likely that I have met someone who can't be beaten? After all, I know where on earth there is a big guy's thigh to hug.

And she knew I knew where the villain came from, but she didn't want to care.

Yes, she doesn't want to care.

There is an obscure symbol on the forehead of the Ancient One, exuding an extremely dark aura that hides a huge dark power.

Although it is very hidden, one of the effects of the Evil King's True Eye is to see through the unseen.

Is the ancient one in this period already planning to pick a son and quit? In the movie, she is considered to be suicidal.

After all, after living for so many years, she still uses the power of the dark dimension - this is the evil that she has repeatedly warned her disciples not to be contaminated, but she herself has always relied on the power of darkness to continue her life.

Is it because her mentality has collapsed, or is it that the dark forces have an impact on her, so it is inconvenient to make a move?

In any case, since the Supreme Mage has made such a clear statement, Warren should be well prepared for the next troubles.

Supreme Mage Ancient One should not be able to deceive.

"Which bastard the hell?"

He knew it, and it would appear anyway, and judging from the current intelligence, he couldn't beat it......

"Is that the man?"

He suddenly had a candidate in his heart, and if it was him, it seemed that he really couldn't beat him now.

Not only that, but even if you add Overwatch, X-Men, and S.H.I.E.L.D., it's not necessarily enough.

"Garrett, contact S.H.I.E.L.D. and investigate all the information about the pyramids, myths and legends, the first mutants, and gods in the world. Investigate a scientist named 'Killian'. ”

He didn't care about training anymore, so he immediately went to Garrett to explain the matter.

"I'll do it right away, what's going on?"

"Just a foresight archmage came to tell me we're in trouble."

Warren also operated the computer, called the databases of Overwatch and S.H.I.E.L.D., looking for the mutant events in this world, and then looked at them one by one.

No.

There is no such thing.

The worst mutant incident that has ever happened in this world is the X-Men II plot before Warren crossed over, where the professor was controlled and nearly slaughtered the world with a brainwave intensifier, followed by a tragic sacrifice of a dam.

"Apocalypse, not yet born."

Gan!

Phoenix Lady Grey is dead, what do you want me to do with the apocalypse?

Wait for the Apocalypse to crawl out of the grave, collect the four knights and start conquering the earth......

Wait, according to the plot, I seem to be one of the Four Horsemen?

"I ......" omits a swear word here.

Apocalypse, another plot line, should have woken up early and then been killed by young Jean Grey, but he hasn't shown his face in this world yet.

If it's really the apocalypse, then things are a little difficult, as a boss with the same super variety of abilities as AFO, his strength is very strong, and he can even strengthen other people's mutant abilities.

In the movie, Apocalypse strengthens Storm Girl, Spirit Butterfly, Magneto, and ...... There are also angels as his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Wow, I want to kill him all of a sudden.

But what does his appearance have to do with himself? Why did the Ancient One say that he got him out by himself?

Isn't it an apocalypse?

But apart from the apocalypse, Hua Lun really can't think of anyone else.

"Hmm...... Anyway, investigate first. Then, there's always nothing wrong with boosting your strength. ”

Although I don't know why the ancient one chose to sit on the sidelines, Warren will not sit still.

"Let's draw cards."

If you don't make a decision, you will draw a card, there is nothing that cannot be solved by drawing a card, if there is, it is that you have not charged enough money.

"All the gold in Pierce's vault has been mobilized."

"All?"

"That's right."

But this may not be enough, since you want to draw, let's have a 10-even epic!

It hurts a little when I think about it, although the market value of the company under his name is more than 200 billion, it is also very difficult to come up with billions of cards, especially since most of his liquidity is invested in various projects.

Especially the marine mining project, this is definitely a good project that can make a lot of money and solve the needs of the card drawing, and in the future to dig gold in the sea, no one will rob him, so Warren has invested a lot of money.

Money is a bastard, you can still make money if you don't have it, this time you just grit your teeth and prepare in advance, anyway, you can definitely earn it back in two months at the fair.

……

Although Garrett on the side didn't know what decision Warren had made, he knew from his slightly tangled expression that this time the trouble was far greater than last time, so his eyes gradually sharpened.

For the sake of the light of my faith, I will remove all obstacles that lie ahead.

Kama Taj

The meditated Ancient One opened his eyes as his soul returned, and then urged the Eye of Agamotto hanging on his chest to open, revealing a turquoise gem.

One of the six Infinity Stones, the Time Stone.

She closed her eyes again, using the power of the Time Stone to navigate the future.

……

"In the future, there are some changes."

She opened her eyes tiredly, and walked towards the library with a smile on her face, placing the Eye of Agamotto on the shelf.
