People in Marvel: You call this a mage?

Chapter 42 Thousands of different you

Parallel universe?

When Ronan brought up this concept, Strange frowned.

Normally, what he saw actually represents the endings that Steve Rogers and his friends will bring after they make various choices.

For example, what went to Vormir was not Hawkeye and Black Widow, but Tony Stark and Steve Rogers.

So will they get the Soul Stone?

Obviously, they are not eligible.

If they didn't get this gem at that time, their particles would definitely not be enough.

The future they want to save is out of the question.

This is one of the endings.

According to the original timeline, Tony Stark and the others chose the most suitable one among tens of millions of choices.

Therefore, they were able to bring the others back with the power of the infinite stones and have the final battle.

But the appearance of Ronan changed this timeline from the beginning.

"I don't know about parallel universes."

Strange took a sip of hot cocoa and waited for Ronan's explanation.

However, Ronan smiled and waved, and a scene appeared in front of them.

A clear timeline.

"This node is the node where Tony and the others go to find the infinite stones."

"It looks like they're going to go back in time, get the six Infinity Stones, and then put them back again."

"The theory itself is not problematic."

"However, they ignored the concept of parallel universes in this theory."

With that said, Ronan drew another line on this timeline.

Although it is connected to the main timeline, it looks different.

"The node they reached, I would like to call it the birth point of the parallel universe."

"It is because of their appearance that a different time has been added to the normal timeline."

"Just like Tony Stark, he accidentally lost the space stone, let Loki get it, and let him escape."

"This is completely different from what they have experienced before."

"So, a parallel universe with roughly the same history but completely different future has emerged!"

Ronan stretched out his hands, erased the main timeline, and then expanded the branch infinitely.

Although this seemed to be just a line, in the eyes of Ronan and Strange, it seemed like an image appeared.

Strange "saw" Loki escaping and being captured by the Time Administration.

Of course, Ronan does not appear in these scenes.

Nor Kang the Conqueror.

"Are you saying that you came to us because of the emergence of this parallel universe?"

"No, that's not right either."

"If according to what you said, the history is the same, but the future is different."

"You should not be at Kamal Taj."

Strange looked at Ronan, he was sure that the problem was Ronan's fault.

Because he has never met Ronan!

"No, you are wrong."

Ronan shook his head, and the picture in his hands changed again.

"I only said that the history is roughly the same, but not exactly the same."

"You should know the concept of parallel universes."

Ronan looked at Strange.

Strange nodded, he still knew these basic theories.

"The universe I live in may be exactly the same as yours in terms of culture, history, and technology."

"But can you ensure that everyone in the parallel universe is the same?"

"In other words, the Tony Stark of your universe has a lovely daughter."

"But can you be sure that in my universe, Tony Stark in the future will not have a son or twins?"

Ronan looked at Strange in front of him and made the most important point.

This is actually the concept of parallel universes.

A similar but not identical universe.

Hearing this, Strange seemed to understand something.

"In other words, the so-called 'past' that Tony and the others went to at that time was not the past they experienced, but an unknown parallel universe."

"Where are you, the future Supreme Mage?"

"And I"

Strange hesitated for a moment and looked at Ronan.

Ronan smiled and nodded, and said: "You are still the world-renowned surgeon, and as far as I know, in my universe, you would not have encountered that bizarre car accident."

"In other words, you in my universe are just an ordinary person and will not be exposed to so-called magic."

"But you will marry the person you love most and have children."

This sentence suddenly pierced Strange's heart.

If there is one thing that he regrets the most, it is that in the five years since he disappeared, his beloved Christine was engaged to another man.

He can no longer undo the mistakes he made in the past.

What is lost will always be lost.

"Of course, maybe in other parallel universes, you are still the Supreme Mage, but Christine is still your lover."

"Or maybe you in other parallel universes have fallen and are collaborating with the dark dimension."

"These are all things that can't be said for sure."

Ronan shrugged, as if he said this accidentally.

But the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention.

From this sentence, Strange seemed to hear something.

"What about you?"

"Are there other versions of you in parallel universes?"

Strange looked at Ronan.

However, Ronan shrugged and said, "Maybe, I don't know about that either."

"I was just giving an example. Maybe in other parallel universes, the Supreme Mage is not you, nor me, nor even Teacher Gu Yi."

Of course, this sentence was made up by Ronan.

According to Ancient One's statement and Ronan's own speculation, there is a high probability that the Supreme Mage in other parallel universes will be Strange.

And Ronan is just the only one who "went wrong" among billions of parallel universes.

Maybe it's because of time travel, maybe it's because of other reasons.

It's just that Ronan doesn't know yet.

"So, combined with what I told you at the beginning."

"My appearance has changed what you call history. There are two possibilities."

"One is that we are now in a completely different parallel universe."

Having said this, Ronan glanced at Strange.

In fact, he was also beating a drum in his heart.

He was not sure whether he had accidentally created a parallel universe or completely changed the future of the main universe.

"The other is that my appearance is one of the 'variables' that is acquiesced."

"It's just that this variable cannot be detected through the time stone, but is generated by a combination of circumstances."

Hearing this, Strange, who was a little nervous at first, also relaxed.

In some ways, as the Supreme Mage, he knows more than others.

But it is this knowledge that far exceeds that of others that allows Strange to understand more elusive dangers.

Whether it is a parallel universe or a default variable.

At least, Ronan's appearance will not pose much danger to their future.

That's enough.

"I pretty much understand what you're talking about."

"As for the parallel universe thing."

"I hope you don't tell anyone else."

Strange hesitated for a moment and believed Ronan's words for the time being.

In any case, Ronan's appearance can be regarded as helping them save the world.

Even if there are some things he doesn't know about.

"Of course, I will keep it a secret."

Ronan nodded. After all, he was leaving, so there was no need to explain where he was.

Seeing that Strange believed what he said, Ronan also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it’s not easy to fool people.

However, next, Ronan will also have to solve his own doubts.

I got up at four o'clock to watch the game.

I only slept for four hours, and I was still very angry after reading it. I might as well be typing while I had this time.

It's really annoying, so I went to have breakfast.
