Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Dimensional Stones—have these ever appeared in the Marvel Universe? Lin Yi couldn't find any related information in his memory.

They can traverse dimensions, even reach the Time Authority beyond time and space, and can create Infinity Stones. With these features, the value of these Dimensional Stones goes without saying.

"Little Vision, what other functions do Dimensional Stones have, and how are they used? Are they like Infinity Stones?"

[The current description is one of the basic capabilities of this dimension. Please explore more functions on your own, or upgrade your driving privileges to level four to obtain more information.]

Damn, can we please stop talking about driving privilege levels and stuff like that?

As for how to use it, Dimensional Stones, like Infinity Stones, require a suitable carrier.

Theoretically speaking, there is no ready-made carrier in three-dimensional space capable of holding dimensional stones; they need to be manufactured. Alternatively, the ship itself can serve as the carrier.

Hmm? That's good. Xiao Wei can turn into a bracelet, so now I can directly use dimensional stones through Xiao Wei, right?

"What impact will this have on the ship's hull?"

There are no irreversible effects.

"Excellent, let's get it arranged!"

What else is there to say?

The flow of nanoparticles on the control panel created six grooves, and Lin Yi placed the gems into them one by one without Xiao Wei even needing to remind him.

The moment the six dimensional stones were loaded, multicolored light appeared inside the ship's hull, then quickly disappeared.

[Dimensional Stone, loaded.]

After giving a response, Xiao Wei went into standby mode again.

The shield's voice rang out: "I'll say something."

"Theoretically speaking, I should be able to carry dimensional stones as well."

Lin Yi lowered his head, looking quite strange.

He actually saw a resentful expression on the mechanical lizard's face on the shield.

Damn, could it be that he's jealous or something?

After a moment of silence, Lin Yi reached out and patted the lizard's head: "Next time, there will be another chance."

The shield-wielder wanted to curse but stopped himself. "A chance? What the hell are you going to do? Where are you going to get another set of Dimensional Stones?"

The lizard-like face looked even more melancholy.

Lin Yi coughed awkwardly twice, unsure how to comfort him.

Forget it, he believed the lizard could comfort itself.

A month passed quickly.

The situation that followed was somewhat beyond Lin Yi's expectations.

The three guardian robots didn't make the slightest sound.

They didn't contact anyone as Lin Yi had thought, or perhaps they and Xiao Wei simply didn't notice?

Or perhaps they are already on guard against me, or they are communicating through some undetectable channel?

Lin Yi didn't know, nor did he want to think about it, because the month that the black-clad woman had agreed upon had come to an end. Now let's see what the black-clad woman has to say.

The dimensional shuttle transformed back into a bracelet and flew into Lin Yi's hand.

Just like a month ago, Lin Yi ran to that familiar door and knocked.

This door was repaired a long time ago.

This time, Lin Yi didn't kick first, intending to knock for a while longer.

But to Lin Yi's surprise, the door opened as soon as he knocked.

The robot assistant that opened the door was the same one I had seen a month ago, the black woman.

Goodness, could it be that it's afraid I'll kick the door down again, so it's squatting here guarding it?

"Mr. Lin Yi, welcome. Please follow me." The robot assistant said in a cold tone.

However, Lin Yi didn't care. Even if it was a robot, it was just a random passerby... a robot, nothing special that would attract Lin Yi's attention or energy.

It was the same office as last time, and the black woman was sitting in the same spot, as if nothing had happened in the past month.

Lin Yi didn't stand on ceremony. After the robot assistant left, he casually sat down in the chair.

"How so?"

The middle-aged woman looked up and glanced at Lin Yi.

"You seem to already know the outcome?"

Lin Yi wanted to laugh: "What do you think?"

Putting aside the question of how high Black Granny's authority is, even if it is, can it be higher than that of the three guardians?

When they gave him a month to get there, Lin Yi didn't have much hope.

And this month has proven that Lin Yi didn't notice anything unusual about the Guardians at all. The old woman probably didn't notice anything either.

As expected, the black woman sighed heavily, pinching her brow with a look of melancholy.

"Indeed, I didn't find any useful information."

"See, I told you so." Lin Yi shrugged. "I told you a month ago to just take me to the Guardian. Look, another month has passed. Even if there was one, it's probably been moved."

The older woman shook her head: "I've already used some covert methods, but do you know where the most unusual thing is?"

"The most unusual thing is that even after using these methods and channels, we still did not obtain any useful information."

Lin Yi frowned: "Aren't you being a little too confident?"

The older woman waved her hand: "I'll tell you something and you'll understand."

"Among these methods, many are based on the rules governing the multiverse. You understand what I mean, right?"

Oh?

Lin Yi glanced at the black-clad woman with surprise.

Based on the rules governing the multiverse? Does this black woman have this kind of ability?

Nodding, Lin Yi replied, "Indeed. So you mean there's a higher-level entity involved?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi added, "It wouldn't be the 'court of life' you mentioned before, would it?"

After saying that, Lin Yi denied it himself.

In the established lore, the Time Mutation Administration should be on par with the Living Tribunal, right? But the lore here might be different.

"No, or rather, more than that," the black woman said.

"I can't be sure if the Living Tribunal was involved, but some within the Time Bureau have already confirmed the act of betrayal."

Lin Yi pointed in a direction, "Including those three empty shell machines?"

Following the direction Lin Yi pointed, the dark-skinned woman's face darkened, though Lin Yi, being so dark-skinned, couldn't tell.

That direction is exactly where the three guardians are. How did Lin Yi know that?

"How did you know they were in that direction?" the black woman asked. "No, what I'm more curious about is that if you knew, why didn't you go look for them beforehand? That's not like the person I know you to be."

"That's because you and I both know that whether we look for them or not doesn't make any difference."

"Even if they know where the orange gem is, they won't tell you, much less hand it over. It'll be the same if I dismantle them, right?"

The older woman paused for a moment, then asked, "So you wanted me to take you to find them before?"

Lin Yi waved his hand with a smile: "Weren't we negotiating conditions back then? You should be familiar with that, right?"

After all, he's a high-ranking official in the Time Management Bureau. Shouldn't he start by offering higher terms when negotiating?
