Chapter 3: The Shadow of Thanos
1916 year.
Temporal Variation Administration.
Morimitsu was thoughtful, and his behavior of traveling through time with the apocalypse seemed to have attracted the attention of some people. There is a force in the American comic world that claims to be the organization that manages the timeline, the Time Mutation Authority.
However, the boss behind this organization seems to be the villain.
Apocalypse said with a little trepidation: "It's still Eton, your reaction is fast." ”
"It's a hassle to be targeted by the Time Mutation Administration. The Time Mutation Authority claims to be an organization created by the Time Guardians to protect the timeline, but in reality, their boss is Kang the Conqueror. ”
They walked out of the alleyway, and Morimitsu looked at the apocalypse in surprise. "Kang?"
In Apocalypse's memory, Kang the Conqueror was still a young middle school student, when he had just entered the timeline of Ancient Egypt and wanted to conquer Ancient Egypt, but was attacked by Apocalypse.
Kang the Conqueror, in the original comics, is a high school student from 10,000 years later.
He traveled through time, taking advantage of the resource/technology gap between the earth in different time periods, reselling resources/weapons, and gradually conquering the earth in every time period for 10,000 years.
In other words, this guy has a collecting fetish.
Morimitsu asked, "Apocalypse, do you know the Time Authority?" You'll know. ”
"Well, an organization of liars."
Apocalypse carries with it a palpable fear. "The last time I saw that guy, that guy has become the ruler of thousands of Earths. His power was beyond my reach, even at my prime. ”
"And now, seven thousand years later."
"He should be stronger."
"That's when he set up the Time Authority."
"Kang, who benefits from time travel, thinks that he can't let others do time travel, so in the name of protecting time, he establishes the Time Management Bureau."
"The Great Luo of the Worlds"
Morimitsu nodded.
I see.
Then, the apocalypse should not be clear, and Kang the Conqueror's lies are now blowing bigger and bigger.
If nothing else, let's just say that the time management bureau that he established himself has been blown to the point of almost being the creator, and he admires Kang the Conqueror.
"I think the Time Authority has a device to check if the timeline is normal," Mori said. ”
"The more impact we have on this time period, the easier it is to be monitored by the Time Authority."
"The employees of the Time Management Bureau are not troublesome, the trouble is the existence behind them."
"In order to avoid complications, we may not be able to move freely on this timeline."
"Of course."
"It's just my personal guess."
"We'd better do a few more tests," Mori said. ”
The two left the alleyway.
In the middle of the narrow street, there is a circular platform, which actually provides a rest for passing cattle and horses (convenient for leashing), but it looks like an abutment for a traffic light at an intersection.
On the small dirt pit, a few and a half dozen children played the acoustic guitar, and the light ragtime guitar music had a feeling of just the right cheerful pace.
Passers-by, occasionally someone would stop and hand these guitar-playing boys, some pennies.
Actually, the lead is played well, at the level of street musicians, it's okay.
These half-grown children, in later life, may represent the school club to play competitions everywhere, or even get a few oily noodle costumes to perform in front of TV shows.
But, in this day and age, they are nothing more than wretches enslaved by human traffickers.
In this era, human dignity is suppressed to an extremely low level.
Talent and hard work are not as important as a background.
Morimitsu took off a rose-gold mechanical watch from Patek Philippe from his wrist.
The whole is covered with titanium alloy, tens of thousands of small parts are all made by hand, and more than three senior watch manufacturing engineers have carried out the composition for more than half a year, and they have made it little by little with tweezers and grinders.
Exclusive, luxury within luxury.
This watch-style Bruce gave Mori Mitsu a birthday gift, and according to his own words, it cost $2 million before and after.
Sen Guang took the watch, let go of his palm, injected the internal force of Jiuyin and Jiuyang into it, completely engraved the two magic cheats on the surface of the wrist side of the watch, and then handed them to them.
This is done for testing.
If something from the future is given to someone from the past, it will definitely affect the timeline.
A big-bellied man who had been standing in the corner next to him walked over, and he had been monitoring the group of children.
He snatched the watch from the boys' hands, and the first moment he touched it, his fingers trembled.
The lubricated bracelet, the shiny watch mirror, his fat hands were covered with sweat, but after touching the watch, it was just a clear and bright feeling, smooth and shiny, without leaving any dirt on the surface of the watch.
He'd seen Patek Jade, which was a luxury brand.
But those Patek jade watches, compared with this watch, this watch can be called a peerless work of art.
The pot-bellied man flashed a greedy look and glared fiercely at the children. "No one is allowed to say anything about this today, not even the boss, do you hear that?"
"Otherwise, I will starve you to death."
He wanted to keep the watch for himself, but he didn't realize that danger was coming.
Mori Mitsu quickly left the place with the apocalypse, and then the two of them hid behind the small bungalow to observe, the previous place.
After a while, a white man appeared in a high-end suit that did not fit the style of this era, also holding a pistol full of sci-fi feeling, and also wearing the medal of the Time Mutation Authority on his chest.
He did a quick search of the streets and found the watch in the hand of the pot-bellied man.
The white man snatched the watch and put it in the sunlight to observe.
"What for! This is mine, you dog, this is my ......"
Bang~
After the gunshot, the pot-bellied man fell to the ground, dead and dead.
The children were frightened, and the passers-by on the side of the road skillfully picked up their heads, squatted quickly, and found cover to hide.
The detectives of the Time Authority, staring at their watches in the sunlight and watching carefully.
His pupils constricted.
It was a watch from the future, but it looked like a private custom, and he couldn't get any useful information out of this watch.
"Who came to this timeline?"
"Damn Darkseid fooled Thanos into using Ares to invade Earth during this time period."
"It's all going to have to work overtime."
"Hopefully, this won't be Thanos' man."
The white man from the Time Mutation Administration threw away his watch and quickly searched for a direction.
Behind the small bungalow, Mori Guang said to the apocalypse: "Sure enough, there is nothing wrong. ”
"This timeline is being targeted by the people of the Time Authority, and as long as we walk in this world, we will continue to attract people from the Time Authority."
"It's just that I didn't expect that this thing would have something to do with Thanos."
"Then, the support that Ares has obtained should come from Thanos."
Apocalypse finds it difficult. "So what are we going to do?"
"There's no hurry. It can only be said that our actions in this world will attract the people of the Time Mutation Authority. Mori said: "Let's test again, if we affect not a small matter, but a very big thing, will we let the Time Management Bureau send more time detectives." ”
This is a degree test.
This determines what Morimitsu will do in the future.
Morimitsu's figure flashed, and he came to a hidden corner on the other side of the city, and Apocalypse saw that Mori Guang had disappeared, so he had to use his space-time teleportation ability to keep up.
………
Next to the water ditch, a group of young girls in ballet costumes stand on a remote gravel road.
Agents of the Red House disguised themselves as a women's dance class teacher and handed out a dagger to each of the ten girls, each with a bladed dagger.
The agent turned and stared at the stinky water billowing down the drain.
"Our organization has always focused on developing the best agent talent. We bought you from your parents and used a lot of resources to nurture you, and you are the most important asset of our company. ”
"At this point, the company has spent at least 10 million dollars on each of you."
"This money, even if it is spent on a dog, the dog will at least respond to me with a bark."
"So to repay our company."
"Only one of the ten of you will survive today."
"I just want the strongest one."
The agent squinted at Natasha in the middle of the girl, he had always been optimistic about Natasha, so if he wanted anyone among the 10 people to survive, it would be Natasha.
But it doesn't matter to anyone else.
