Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"However, I can see Strange tomorrow. After all, he's been waiting for me for a month, and I'll make it clear this time that I'll refuse again."

Lin Yi tossed aside the pebble and clapped his hands. He had perfectly controlled the strength of his bio-field and his own power. His aura had also returned to its previous state.

Tony raised an eyebrow: "That's good. He's been here for a month, and to be honest, I wasn't at ease. I was afraid he'd bring new trouble."

"By the way, here's the situation on his end." Tony pulled out a semi-transparent, cell phone-like device and handed it to Lin Yi.

The image above shows Tony what Scarface showed him, along with his attempt to make a deal using nanotechnology.

"Oh?" Lin Yi frowned as he looked at the reactor on the screen, which was changing.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Tony asked.

"No... I just think this thing looks cool..."

Tony agreed: "It's really cool, but it's not quite what I envisioned for future suits."

"He is more inclined to focus on the storage and instant deformation capabilities of nanotechnology, which is only a reference point for us."

"But it's only a matter of time before we can make it happen."

"Do you need me to inform Strange for you? How about 10 a.m. tomorrow? I'm also getting my things ready, and we'll go to Morgan's universe together the day after tomorrow."

Lin Yi nodded: "Okay, let's do it at this time."

After speaking, Lin Yi looked at the information on the screen again.

High Celestial, Race Survival Competition.

Isn't this just the Grandmaster's cosmic battle for supremacy?

That guy is an expert in all kinds of games and rules, and loves to organize all kinds of competitions, whether they're movies or comics.

In the animated Marvel If You Dare, Tony Stark uses a suit version of his race car to compete against the Grandmaster, who is ultimately destroyed by a single blow, which is quite dramatic.

Scar Strange, this Grandmaster... looks a bit like a variant of the Marvel What If series, taking the game to a whole new level, actually using races and planets as loot.

What if?

Forget it, I've already refused, so it has nothing to do with me anymore.

As for going to Morgan's universe, this time I need to meet those two Ancient Ones and find out what exactly was preventing me from opening the portal back then.

The next day at 10:00 AM, in the Avengers conference room.

Lin Yi pushed open the door and saw Scarface Strange sitting there with a bitter and resentful expression on his face.

"Lin Yi!" Upon seeing Lin Yi, Scarface's eyes deepened. "We need you!"

Lin Yi shivered.

No, what are you talking about?

"Don't say things that could cause misunderstandings. Haven't I already rejected you?"

"Tony has also agreed to provide technological assistance."

"To be honest, our own universe is already troublesome enough. I really don't have the time or energy to go to your universe and be some kind of savior. I hope you can understand."

Scarface glanced silently at Lin Yi and Tony, then reached out and pinched in the air.

A green light shone as he gently placed the Time Stone on the table.

"What do you mean? Is this your payment?" Lin Yi squinted.

Scarface Strange nodded heavily.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at Tony, whose eyes also held surprise and caution.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yi shook his head. "I'll say it again, I'm sorry, I don't have the time or energy right now."

After saying that, he walked out first. Tony took one last look at Scar Strange and quickly followed.

Behind him, Scarface suddenly spoke up, "Everything points to you, Lin Yi, I won't give up."

Damn, what a ridiculous riddle-teller! These words gave Lin Yi goosebumps, and he quickly quickened his pace.

"Aren't you even tempted by the Time Stone?" Tony caught up and teased.

"Seriously?" Lin Yi shook his head. "They've even brought out the Time Stone. Do you think their universe's problems are minor?"

"And the Infinity Stones are something that we..." Lin Yi didn't continue.

With a time navigation device, if they really reach the point where they need Infinity Stones, they can simply go to another timeline to borrow them again.

Obtaining the Time Stone is not considered difficult in this point in time within the universe.

After refusing Scarface Strange, Lin Yi went to borrow a compass from his own Strange. With this, going to that universe would save a lot of effort.

The day after receiving the compass, Lin Yi and Tony prepared to set off.

But just as Lin Yi was about to turn on the compass, a question suddenly occurred to him.

Tony looked at Lin Yi, who had stopped moving, with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Lin Yi scratched his head, looking at the compass in his hand, "I suddenly remembered that I entered that universe from the time period of 2012."

"If we enter at this point in time, wouldn't it mean we'll be more than ten years into the future?"

Tony looked at Lin Yi with disdain: "You only remembered now?"

"Oh, I just remembered, so I was wondering if I should go back to 2012 and enter from that time period..."

"unnecessary."

Lin Yi turned around and looked speechlessly at the person who had made the sound.

These words weren't spoken by Tony, but by Scarface Strange.

Where did he come from? This guy seems to be haunting me.

"You are absolutely unique," Scarface Strange said. "No matter when you enter that universe, that universe will be synchronized with your time flow."

"A month passes for you when you leave, regardless of whether you entered in 2012 or 3012. The result is the same. It's calculated based on the length of your absence."

"And this trait has already attracted the attention of the Time Management Bureau..."

Absolute uniqueness? Lin Yi had heard this term in a traditional storytelling performance in 2012.

Lin Yi: "...Thank you so much for the news."

Shaking his head, Lin Yi activated the compass in his hand; he didn't want to talk to Scarface Strange any longer.

"Ready? Tony?"

The golden magic circle gradually unfolded and began to charge.

As the light reached its peak brightness, with a soft hum, the compass carried the two away. Only Scarface Strange remained, silently watching the spot where they had vanished.

Lin Yi chose to land inside Stark Tower, the same room he had left from before.

Tony's first experience with inter-universe travel nearly made him throw up on the spot. Unlike Spider-Man or Lin Yi, he didn't have the physique to easily throw up, so he quickly put on the MK97 suit. The suit's deflection field made him feel much better.

Fortunately, the time spent traveling through the world was not long, and the two of them soon emerged from the dizzying scene.

Light returned to their surroundings, and the two found themselves standing on a pile of ruins.

Lin Yi glanced at it. "No, didn't I teleport to a room in Stark Tower?"

Where did this come from?

Before he could even wonder what was happening, Jarvis's frantic warning rang out, and Tony, still in his battle suit, immediately turned to the side, a laser cannon grazing the spot where he had just been standing.

"No, this is right, Lin Yi!" Tony shouted, activating the full detection capabilities of his suit and spreading out his vision like a map to find the source of the attack. Then, Tony saw an unbelievable scene.

"O...M...G? Is that Banner? What's he carrying?"

"Natasha?"

"Is he fighting alien creatures while carrying Natasha?"
