Chapter 44: An Unusual Timeline?
Looking at Strange's expression, Ronan didn't speak.
Because he thought of one more thing.
Before he came to this universe, the ancient one once said a word to him at the end.
"Don't rush back and talk to Strange."
Although Ronan didn't agree with it at the time, he doesn't think so now.
Before Thanos arrived, he saw the Avengers with his own eyes, using modern technology to create the Infinity Gauntlet.
This can almost be called a scientific explanation of metaphysics.
On that day, Ronan also thought of the scene that had just been played.
is also a representative of science instead of metaphysics, if the Infinity Gauntlet can really be established, then Ronan's previous speculation about Hitwell's words will be completely overturned.
From the beginning, Ronan actually thought the same thing as Strange.
He also thought that Strange at that time might have something wrong with his political leanings, coupled with his identity, he was a relatively well-known surgeon, so he hindered Hydra.
But later, after seeing the Infinity Gauntlet appear, Ronan had to revisit his previous thoughts.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
If the Infinity Gauntlet can succeed, can Zora really predict the future as well?
"Does this machine still exist?"
"We can't let it be in the hands of those people."
Strange had a look of war in his eyes.
In any case, this kind of machine is too tricky.
Imagine a supercomputer that can predict the future running at an unknown number of times faster than the human brain.
What implications does that have for the future?
Even if the duty of the Supreme Mage is only to fend off enemies beyond the earth.
However, he is also a member of the Avengers.
At least tell others about it.
"According to the situation at the time, this Zora has been destroyed by Steve."
"However, Zora is really just a program, and it is not certain that those people have no backups."
Ronan stared into the distance, but he had been thinking about something else.
Whether Zola in this world exists or not actually has little to do with him.
After all, this world has its own team of superheroes.
Ronan is worried about his own world.
You know, in his timeline, Zola is still serving Hydra.
It won't be long before the Snake Shield Bureau kicks off their plans.
At that time, Zola, who can predict the future, will Ronan also be the target of the threat?
If that's the case, then Ronan will probably have to act in advance.
"Whew..."
"Anyway, I'm going to tell Steve about it."
"As a Supreme Mage, you can't meddle in the affairs of the earth."
"But thank you for reminding us."
Strange looked at Ronan with a grateful look in his eyes.
Ronan shook his head, he wasn't meant to remind Strange in the first place.
He's just doing it for himself.
"Back to the original question."
"During your time as the Supreme Mage, have you noticed that the timeline is abnormal?"
"In other words, some fragments of the future, have changed?"
Ronan brings the conversation back to the original question.
This time, Strange fell into deep thought.
As he had expected, Strange's face soon became unsightly.
"When you say that, I do think of something."
"There were a few times when I was looking into the future and I noticed that the timeline had fluctuated a little."
"Although it is normal for the timeline to fluctuate occasionally, after all, everyone makes different choices, and there will be some different changes in the future."
"But two or three times, the fluctuations are a little abnormal."
Strange seemed to recall something.
"Oh?"
"How many times?"
Ronan was instantly interested.
These things may not have happened in Ronan's universe yet, but they may be happening.
So, Ronan needs to confirm it in person when the time comes.
"Once in the year I first became the Supreme Mage, in 2016."
"It must be said that the biggest news at the time was that Steve and Tony broke up and there was a fight."
"At that time, the timeline changed a little differently."
Strange began to recall these events.
Ronan nodded, this time it should be the plot of the civil war, Ronan needs to go back and reminisce.
"Another time, it was when Eric announced the opening of Wakanda."
"At that time, there was a big fluctuation in the flow of time."
"But that fluctuation is within the permissible range, but anything beyond it will be dangerous to the planet."
Strange came to the second thing.
When he heard this, Ronan was suddenly stunned.
"Wait, who are you talking about?"
"Eric?"
The more Ronan heard it, the more familiar the name became.
Seems to have heard it somewhere.
"That's right, Eric, the king of Wakanda."
"You've probably seen him too, he fought in the last battle, and he was the one in the Panther's suit."
Strange explained to him.
No, no!
Ronan suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
In his memory, the king of Wakanda was supposed to be T'Challa.
He's the Panther!
"What about T'Challa?"
Ronan couldn't help but ask.
"T'Challa...?"
"He died in the battle for the throne of Wakanda, so Eric became king."
"According to Wakanda custom, if you want to inherit the throne, you must defeat the other side, whether you live or die."
Strange looked at Ronan with some confusion.
I don't know why he asked.
However, Ronan's face changed drastically.
The panther he saw turned out to be Eric, not T'Challa?
No, it's not right at all.
Although Eric is also nominally a member of the royal family, his father is the one responsible for stealing vibranium.
To put it simply, his father was a traitor to Wakanda.
How could such a traitor's son have the right to inherit the throne.
And also killed T'Challa, who had been training for many years?
Unless, the stain on his father's body was somehow erased.
The only people who can do this, apart from some high-level people in the United States, are left ......
Zola!!!
Ronan figured it all out at once!
That's right, it's very likely that this incident is also a conspiracy of Hydra.
They used Zora to whitewash and even rewrite Eric's father's stain and resume, giving Eric a chance to compete for the throne.
Then, somehow, they defeated T'Challa.
Eric eventually became the king of Wakanda!
I'm rubbing, wonderful!
Ronan raised an eyebrow, he seemed to have figured it all out.
Now that they have been driven underground, it is better to maximize this advantage.
It's very similar to Hydra's usual style.
That's called an authentic tunnel!
