The Collection of The End

——? ? ? ——

"They call this a 'fireplace'? It looks more like a 'chimney' to me." Sherlock had been falling for about half an hour.

because

The "pipeline" looked like it was in disrepair, and from time to time there were gaps visible outside. He couldn't help but worry that he would fall out - after all, he was used to falling out of the world from various seemingly stable places.

When looking out from the gap, it is indeed as Rocky said, there are countless parallel green pipes, which at first glance look the same.

The structure of the "timelines" is very similar, or in other words, it should be officially designed to be like this because they are used to travel through various timelines.

At this time, under Sherlock's feet, at the end of the pipe, there was a dull circular white light gradually becoming brighter. He counted the time, and he was about to reach the end now. There should be no more problems...right?

Zhizhizhi - As if to break Sherlock's luck, just as he was thinking this, the pipe

On the side of the "exit", there was suddenly a harsh sound of metal cutting, and at the same time there were dazzling sparks flying everywhere.

Then, Sherlock watched helplessly

A large hole was ripped open in the inner wall of the "chimney", and another pipe about the same thickness as the one he was in penetrated directly, sealing the descending road tightly.

What kind of outrageous vulnerability is this? How is the Space-Time Management Bureau maintained? Unsure of what would happen if there was a collision while the timeline was jumping, Sherlock had no time to think about it, so he quickly took out his wand, pointed it at the pipe in front of him, and cast the most suitable magic he could think of in his desperation: "[Alajo Cave Opens] !" Buzz - This magic, which in theory can only open door locks, plays an unexpected role at this time. It directly removes the complete pipe

"Breakthrough" revealed the place where Sherlock was originally going, glowing with white light.

"Pipeline Exit".

"Huh...it's okay. I'll report the damage when I get back." Sherlock entered through the holed road blocking pipe.

The "exit" disappeared. And behind the road-blocking pipe, there is only half a meter between

The "real exit" slowly disappeared after waiting for no passengers for a long time. ————Hang——!

Ta-ta-ta-boom! Sherlock has just arrived

"Other timelines" were so noisy by huge roars, fierce gunshots and continuous explosions that their ears hurt. The most troublesome thing was that he appeared very high in the air. After a brief pause, he immediately began to move toward The ground plummeted.

"[Slow Falling Curse], [Illusion Body Curse]." He quickly cast two spells on himself, and then began to look for the landing point while condescendingly observing the current form.

There is no doubt that this is a troubled New York. The steel dragon flying in the air and those strange humanoid creatures wearing exoskeleton armor should be the invaders.

"Chitauri". exist

In the "Holy Timeline", these aliens were wiped out with little room for resistance. The remaining equipment also helped the earth develop a wave of technology. In this timeline, they apparently successfully invaded and caused serious damage to the main city of New York. A considerable degree of infringement - that

The "wormhole" is still open in the sky. The ones fighting against these aliens are naturally the National Guard and armed police who are largely useless despite their large numbers, as well as the National Guard and armed police who can gain local advantages but cannot reverse the situation due to the small number of people.

"The Avengers". Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye, Thor, Natasha, although it is not polite to say this about superheroes from other world lines, but from a high altitude, their battles do look like the legendary collaboration between tanks and infantry - —Three tanks with three infantry.

Sherlock confirmed the battlefield shape, adjusted the direction of the slow fall, and floated towards the roof of an empty building.

this time

The mission of the "Ministry of Magic" is not to save New York or rescue civilians. After all, there are so many parallel timelines. If we had to save every one, all the agents would be too busy to work, and it would not make any sense to the sacred timeline. .

This time, the mission of the agent Loki who set off early was supposed to be to prevent a powerful descendant from contacting the Avengers or extending the time of the wormhole. But as things have progressed so far, it is obvious that he has messed up everything and is only left with A last-minute chance to turn things around.

Is it possible to be so late after just being blocked? Sherlock tried to analyze, but immediately threw the problem out of his mind after two seconds - reasoning under such severely insufficient conditions would only make himself fall into an invalid reasoning cycle of assumptions within assumptions.

Now I just need to wait for Iron Man to fight at the last moment... huh? Sherlock was observing the overall shape of the battlefield, but suddenly he discovered that in a remote corner there was a spatial disturbance that would only occur when using the Portkey or Phantom Shift mode. Looking closely, he saw four people appearing out of thin air there...

"Super hero". Iron Man, whose armor is gorgeous and advanced for many generations, Captain America, who is not wearing a mask and has a beard, Dr. Banner, who is obviously an ordinary person but has green muscles, and... a weirdo who looks like an ant in a strange red and black armor. .

Spider-Man's new armor? Ant-Man? Sherlock looked at them, and a certain rule from the Ministry of Magic flashed through his mind: [3. The members of the 'Avengers' are and are Iron Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, Hulk, Thor and Natasha. Six people, if additional members appear, or if someone's character and ability do not match the intelligence, return immediately.

】The rules will not explain why, but simple reasoning can lead to the conclusion: This is the interference of other timelines in the Ministry of Magic's mission target timeline. Maybe these non-staff personnel are friendly, but the time and space turbulence they cause is real. , so all the agents who encountered similar situations never returned. They were lucky enough to be able to send back some information, which led to the birth of that rule.

Perhaps the agents who arrived earlier disappeared because of the presence of these people?

Sherlock watched their actions silently, trying to analyze their intentions. These

Although the "Heroes of Different Timelines" appeared at the point where the Chitauri invaded, it didn't seem to help.

The meaning of "genuine heroes" casually smashed a few cars, killed some Chitauri who discovered them, and then divided into three groups and left.

Well, there were two groups. Dr. Banner came straight to the roof of the building where he was. ————

"'Mage Supreme'?" Bruce Banner climbed to the top of the building, turned his head and looked around: "I know you are here!" What?

Is there anyone else here? Although it does not inspire

"Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers", but with

Sherlock, who has the "position construction" ability, doesn't think that the existence of others can hide from his perception. He increased the intensity of the detection and conducted a more detailed search on the roof of the building, but there was nothing except Banner talking to the air and a nest of trembling baby rats.

Did he remember the wrong place? I heard that the Hulk's brain doesn't work very well...

"'Doctor Strange'?" Banner continued to shout: "Stephen Strange?"...Tsk. [2. A person named 'Stephen Strange' who calls himself 'Doctor Strange' or 'The Master Supreme' will appear in front of you. Tell him your mission truthfully, and he will believe it.

】Although I am

"Sherlock Holmes", but with the suit used on Ocean Planet

"Adult version of vest", then I am

"Stephen Strange."

"[What do you want from me?]" Sherlock found a nearby plastic chair and sat down facing the Hulk, then lifted the disillusionment spell to prevent himself from looking like nothing.

"Supreme Mage", he tried to learn

The tone of "Shirahoshi" - the version of the Space Demon God.

"Ah, you are here," the Hulk turned and walked towards him without any surprise: "Your days of opening portals at every turn are over, give me the 'Time Stone'." It seems that the timeline of himself We don't get along very well with him, and at this time, one should say to someone who has a bad relationship...

"[If you want it, you have to get it yourself,]" Sherlock stood up and turned to the Hulk: "[You know the rules.]"

"I knew you would say that," Banner crossed his hands and opened them suddenly. His clothes exploded in an instant, and his already huge body nearly tripled in size again: "[Hao——G!]"

"[How many times have we fought? What was the outcome?]" Sherlock asked a question he was really curious about in a provocative tone.

"[Hulk! Never lost!]" After the second transformation, Banner, or Hulk, obviously had no ability to communicate. He smashed the floor with his foot and rushed over like a tank.

[Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers]! [This is common sense, my dear friend]! 【Lungominiad】! The next moment, the Hulk was charging forward. His huge body was fixed in the air by a circle of pillars, and was illuminated by a circle of searchlights that made his body almost transparent. At his throat, he was being pressed by the tip of a huge ornate lance. It looked like if Sherlock stretched his hand forward, he would pierce its thick neck.

call--

"[Hu... Hulk?" Almost at the same time, Hulk shrank rapidly, and finally turned into the thin Dr. Banner in Sherlock's impression.

"[Now, I think we can have a good talk.]" Sherlock put away his lance, turned it back into a wand and put it into his sleeve.

"I think so. You just scared Hulk and he can't come out at all now," Dr. Banner grinned: "Can you put me down first?"

"[Tell me,]" Sherlock dispelled the eight formations of stone soldiers, but temporarily kept the circle of searchlights to prevent him from going crazy again: "[How did you know I was here?]"

"'Future You' left us a message, saying that you were in this building observing the 'Avengers' against the Chitauri, and if they failed in the end, you would take action," Dr. Banner said after regaining his freedom. Touching his neck: "So you always retain your strength?" Following Banner's words, two new rules came into Sherlock's mind.

[1. Shirahoshi-sama and the organization she established only exist in the sacred timeline. 】【3. The time nodes of other timelines may be faster or slower than the sacred timeline, but they are not the past or future of the sacred timeline.

】I see, even if there are no other timelines

"Ministry of Magic", these superheroes have still developed ways to travel to other timelines, and these are not

"Sacred" timelines cross each other and have no effect on the Sacred Timeline unless that leads to their own destruction.

"[Magic is something that doesn't cost much. If too many people know about it, you should be very clear about the consequences.]" Sherlock shook his head, and then tried to talk: "[What is the meaning of 'future me'?" dead?】"

"How else can you die? Thanos, who has collected the six infinity stones, snaps his fingers and you turn into ashes." Dr. Banner spread his hands: "When you handed over the stones, I thought you were convinced that you wouldn't be able to die." He will die." There is too much information, so I will put it aside for now...

"[So, you want to save the people who turned to gray and try to get the Infinity Stones from the 'past'?]" Sherlock confirmed that his statement was correct and continued to ask: "[Do you know that if the Infinity Stones leave? Will their original world lead to the destruction of that world?】"

"Of course we also have preparations, as long as you return it after use, when you took it away, when you returned it, to ensure that there is no problem with the history." Banner said, patting his chest.

Are they completely unaware of the timeline issue? Or can you confirm that you go to the same timeline every time?

No, the bigger problem now is that I don’t have the Time Stone at all. Even if I bring it with me, it’s impossible to bring it back.

The gems of the "Holy Timeline" are given to those who follow the partial timeline. But how to deal with this Dr. Banner?

Sherlock was still thinking, and a new Ministry of Magic rule emerged: [9. Infinity stones from other timelines are just beautiful glasses, don't bring them back.

】Is this what happened? [Permanent Transformation] Sherlock reached into his arms, pulled off a button, and then pulled the crystal clear

Take out the "Time Stone": "[This is the 'Time Stone' you want, remember to return it after use.]" This is strange to say, but it is necessary. This behavior means that this time stone has been transformed into a Time Stone. The button of the shape is the quilt

On the "Sacred Timeline"

Recognized by "Time Stone Holders"

"Time Stone". Personal crushing, and a bit of a rogue, is like picking up a random diamond in Siberia, and then having a diamond company polish it and equip it with a certificate, then it is a diamond, and as long as the company insists, no one can refute it.

"Okay, we'll pay it back soon, maybe just a few minutes? You know, no one can say time..." Banner took it

"Time Stone", he said as he jumped off the roof of the building very naturally. Paji. After half a minute, I felt aggrieved and cowered.

"[Hulk]" roared, and the Hulk, covered in rubble, flew into the sky. Well... needing to clear his memory, Sherlock sat down on the plastic chair. If he returned to the sacred timeline with a stereotype of this Hulk, he would be hung up and beaten by the real Hulk for an offense.

"Hello, 'Mage Supreme'." The next second, the door to the stairwell from the roof to the interior opened. Captain America, who was not wearing a mask but had shaved off his beard and looked a little tired, came out carrying a box: "I Come and return the 'Time Stone' I borrowed from you."

"[It seems that your operation went smoothly,]" Sherlock took the bag that Captain America took out of the suitcase.

"Time Stone": "[It seems I have to congratulate the Avengers for saving the world again?]"

"Yeah..." Captain America forced a smile, and then suddenly looked at Sherlock with great determination: "Tell me, if I choose to stay in the past, will it have an adverse impact on the future?" Wanting to make up for it? Pity?

But the things you really care about will not come back, because what you left is other timelines, but... [4. Interference with other timelines will not affect the sacred timeline.

】Heh, that is to say,

It's "okay" to interfere, right.

"[Do what you want, Captain,]" Sherlock stared at his suddenly brightened eyes: "[Don't underestimate the 'Supreme Mage'."
