A few days later, Kama Taj.

In the New York Temple, Strange and Ronan were sitting facing each other.

He accepted Strange's invitation to talk to him before leaving.

"So, you came to me, is there something wrong?"

As for the communication with Strange, Ronan is actually still a little interested.

Although the two are not in the same universe, they belong to the same Kama Taj after all, and there are not many things they can communicate.

But even if it is an exchange of experiences, it can be regarded as rewarding for each other.

Of course, when it comes to making mistakes, Ronan has always looked to Strange as a benchmark.

"You changed the future, didn't you?"

"To be precise, your presence has changed the future of our timeline."

Strange holds a cup of hot cocoa, and the side effect of white magic is the legendary stomach ulcer.

Yes, the use of white magic also has side effects.

It's just that the side effects of white magic are much smaller than those of black magic.

Ronan even suspected at one point that the side effect of the ancient one's use of white magic was hair loss...

As for Strange, he has lost the Time Gem and no longer has the ability to observe the timeline.

Although, legend has it that the Eye of Agomoto also has this ability.

But judging by Strange at the moment, he doesn't have any involvement in this.

"As a Supreme Mage, you should know that too."

"Timelines aren't set in stone."

"The reason why your future will change is also from your time machine."

Ronan sighed, as if admitting that he had something to do with it, but also putting aside his relationship with himself.

After all, the source of everything comes from the time machine of this universe.

"But all the future I've observed, without you."

"The only condition for us to succeed is for Natasha to die and bring us back the Soul Gem."

"Tony sacrificed himself to snap his fingers and find that way for us to survive."

"But now, everything has completely changed."

Strange looked at Ronan, and of the tens of millions of futures he observed, not a single one had Ronan appear.

There is not even a second way to go.

But now, not only Ronan is here, but Tony Stark and Black Widow, who should be sacrificed, are also alive and well.

None of this seems to be real.

Ronan, however, smiled.

"I'd venture to guess if there's a chance that something happened that you can't even see."

Ronan began his own flickering.

In fact, Strange guessed correctly at all, the source of everything is Ronan's appearance.

Whether it's Black Widow or Tony Stark, they are supposed to be in a state of death in the "script".

But now, both men have survived.

This will certainly change in the future.

"What do you mean?"

Strange frowned.

You know, the future he sees is all done through the Time Stone.

If there's something that the Time Gem can't see, what level does it go up to?

What's more, Ronan's appearance shattered the prediction of the Time Stone.

Could it be that Ronan's rank is higher than that of the Time Gem?

"Let me give you a simple example."

"A real-life example of what happened because of Tony."

Ronan changed his posture and began to tell the case to Strange, who was thirsty for knowledge.

That's right, that's all he had to say about Loki.

"Okay, you say."

Strange sat up straight, and he knew that what Ronan was going to say next must be something he had never heard of.

And, I'm afraid, things are also important.

"Let me ask you first, after the Chirita invaded the earth, what was the result of Loki in your universe?"

Ronan didn't lecture first, but threw out a question first.

"Although I wasn't a Supreme Mage at the time, I've seen the relevant records."

"At that time, Loki was escorted back to Asgard by Saul."

According to Saul's account, Loki had been imprisoned in Asgard until he was later released by Saul.

Strange still knows about it.

After all, for the Supreme Mage who possessed the Time Gem, the past and future on Earth were just a picture.

"But if I tell you, the Loki in our universe is completely different."

"What would you think?"

A smile tugged at Ronan's lips.

"What do you mean?"

This is the second time Strange has said this today.

Only this time, he vaguely seemed to feel something.

"Loki of our universe, after Tony appeared, picked up the space gem."

"Not only was he not escorted back to Asgard, but he even escaped through the Space Gem."

"Of course, he was eventually captured by the Time Authority, and successfully corrected history."

Ronan tells the story of Loki's "bizarre adventure".

However, the more Strange listened, the more confused he became.

"Wait!"

"If Loki escapes because of Tony's appearance, it can only mean that the timeline of your universe is developing."

"But what do you say that corrects history, and..."

"What's that Time Authority?"

Strange understood every word that Ronan was saying, but he didn't understand it when it was put together.

While he knew what it meant to revise history, he had never heard of the Time Authority.

This made it difficult for him to understand.

"Okay, let's do it little by little."

"First of all, the organization of the Time Authority has another name, the Temporal Mutation Authority."

"Their job is to repair the messy timeline and maintain the order of time."

Ronan first explained the general role of the Time Authority.

Of course, he wasn't going to say more, after all, it had nothing to do with Strange.

"Wait, you mean, Loki escapes, it's part of the timeline of confusion."

"And Loki being brought back to Asgard is the normal timeline."

"It seems to fit perfectly with our timeline."

Strange frowned, and he slowly began to understand what Ronan meant.

Although it was difficult, he changed from believing in science to believing in metaphysics, which was not very difficult for him.

"Normally, yes."

Ronan nodded.

"But what does that have to do with what we're talking about?"

"If your appearance is similar to Loki's back then, then why haven't you been taken away to restore our normal timeline?"

Strange asked the most crucial question.

In fact, this is also a question that has plagued Ronan for a long time.

After thinking about it, Ronan only thought of one explanation.

"Strange, you were wrong from the start."

"With your abilities, you can observe what happens on the timeline."

"But, parallel universes, can you also perceive them?"
