Chapter 12: Use Me Against Me?
Ronan stepped through the teleportation array and arrived on this famous planet.
Although it is known as the death country at the center of the universe, it is not full of murderous atmosphere as imagined.
On the contrary, it seems very peaceful and peaceful.
There are mountains and mountains, and there is water and water, except for the cold wind and snow, there is not even a harsh environment.
Ronan looked behind him and found that the American team and the others had no intention of following, so he shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand to close the door of the secret method behind him.
"Ronan..."
"You're here anyway."
As the door to the arcane law closed, a slightly hoarse voice rang out from behind him.
A man dressed in a black robe, wearing a black hood, with his face covered, stepped out.
Ronan raised an eyebrow, the outfit was very similar to the red skull he remembered.
However, there is a big difference.
At least the one in front of him seems to be more solid, rather than like the red skull, the robes are all virtual.
"You know my name, so you brought me here on purpose?"
"Using soul gems as bait, you are really willing to spend the capital."
Ronan wasn't panicking, apparently he had thought about it from the beginning.
As the saying goes, there is something to give.
If you're going fishing, how can you not have bait ready?
It's just that the other party's bait is a bit too extravagant.
"If you want to understand it that way, there's nothing wrong with that."
"After all, I did want to see you."
The hooded man did not deny that his purpose was to lure Ronan to Vormir.
That's why he gave the soul gem to Black Widow.
Only now, an idea crossed Ronan's mind.
It just needs some evidence to corroborate.
"Well, I'd like to hear what made you trade the life of your loved one for a soul gem and bring me here."
"To be honest, I feel a little honored to think about it."
Although he didn't know the other party's purpose yet, Ronan knew that things were definitely not that simple.
Otherwise, the cost is too great.
However, the hooded man did not answer, but turned around and spread his arms in the direction of the cliff.
It seems like he's missing something.
Ronan was not in a hurry, he could also be sure that the person in front of him was definitely not a red skull.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to pretend to be a fool of himself.
Also, the other party seems to have calculated that he will come here.
If you follow this line and reason upwards, then the other party must also know that at this point in time, you will go from the "past" to the "future" and get here.
Before that, the Ancient One specifically asked Ronan to send the Time Gem.
Is there anything else Ronan doesn't know?
Of course, Ronan didn't think that the Ancient One would hurt him, after all, if the Ancient One wanted to let him die, there were thousands of ways, so why use such the most efficient means?
So, there must be something unknown in this.
It's been a long time.
The hooded man seems to miss the end.
He turned and looked at Ronan again.
"You should know that there's an organization called the Time Authority, right?"
The hooded man asked.
"yes, I know."
Ronan nodded, not revealing any more information.
In the case of not knowing the identity and hole cards of the other party, it is a wise choice to omit information as much as possible.
At least, you won't let the other party hear the flaws from your mouth.
"It looks like you're still a little wary of me, but that's okay."
"I just wanted to ask you for a favor."
"When one day, the Time Authority suddenly collapses, I want you to step in and stop it."
"Although, in your opinion, this organization has only taken a short timeline to entertain itself."
"But if he does break down, it will also have an indelible impact on the real world."
The hooded man looked at Ronan in front of him, and his tone was very solemn.
It seems that in his opinion, the Time Authority will have a great impact on the future.
At the very least, the impact has to do with the hooded man.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I'm that good at it."
Ronan shook his head and refused without even thinking about it.
Joke.
What level is he himself, isn't it clear to him?
It's just a matter of pretending to be forced, when it comes to timelines, is it something that a small high school student like him can manage?
What's more, the Time Authority is Kang the Conqueror's toy.
People have no grievances with him, and they play with their own toys, what's in the way of Ronan?
Why did Ronan rush to make a feud with others?
It's a normal person, and the brain circuits can't be like this.
"I mean you in the future."
"Maybe you don't know how powerful you will be in the future."
"But what I can tell you is that you are absolutely sure to solve this matter in the future!"
The hooded man's tone was a little hurried.
He seems to be in a hurry?
However, Ronan still shook his head in refusal.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry about it yet."
"The two of us are not related, and we can't even talk about knowing each other, why should I meddle in something that I don't know at all for the sake of a stranger?"
"Is it because you saved Black Widow?"
"What does she have to do with me? Does it matter if she dies or not? ”
Ronan spread his hands.
He said what was in his heart.
It's true that he doesn't look down on the Time Authority, but that doesn't mean he's willing to meddle in these matters.
Not to mention whether he has this ability, even if he has this ability, why should he ask for trouble?
"But isn't it the responsibility of the Supreme Mage to protect the earth from invasion?"
The hooded man was also in a hurry.
"When did I become the Supreme Mage?"
"If you're looking for the Supreme Mage, this world you can find Strange."
"In my world, you can find my teacher, the Ancient One."
"Look for me, you're looking for the wrong person."
Ronan's face grew cold, and he might have guessed something.
The other party did this, undoubtedly to ask him for a promise.
"You will definitely be in the future!"
The hooded man's tone became more and more rapid, and there was a slight hoarseness in his voice.
Ronan, however, smiled.
"Then you can find my future me to help you."
"If I'm right, I'll be rejecting you in the future, just like I am now, right?"
These words made the hooded man stunned in place.
Without a doubt, Ronan pierced his biggest sore spot.
Seeing him like this, Ronan was sure that he had guessed correctly.
"Maybe someday in the future, no, to be exact, in the future of my world, you've met me in the Time Authority and recognized me for who I am."
"I have the power to save that so-called time management, but at that time I chose to reject you."
"So, you managed to travel through time and get here."
Ronan stomped the snow under his feet, he already understood everything.
"Although I don't know how you know how you know that I am now and will come to this timeline."
"But you came, and you thought of a way to disguise yourself, disguised yourself on the planet Vormir."
"You also know that as someone who understands the timeline, I know that the soul gem can be found, and it is the Black Widow who must die on the planet Vormyr, so you rewrote the timeline."
"Again, you know very well that the words you left behind will arouse my curiosity and make me come here to find you."
"It's all in your plan."
"Your so-called purpose is just to find me now, to ask for a promise."
"Because once I inherit the title of Supreme Mage, if I deny my previous promise, it will inevitably cause a change in the timeline, which I, as a Supreme Mage, will not allow to appear."
"So, that's what you thought about."
"Use my own commitment to fight against my future me."
"It's..."
"What a plan."
