Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 257 The Echo of Reality

The Eye of Agamotto was extremely obedient in Su Ze's hands at this moment. The power of time that was flowing out was slowly retracted, and even the surface of the Eye was closed.

It was at this time that Su Ze discovered that the Eye of Agamotto was not as real as he saw.

Although it looks very similar, the Eye of Agamotto is now constructed entirely of green magic power, and its surface is translucent, very similar to the previous Cosmic Cube.

It seems that, as I had guessed before, these forces of chaos were created with the help of the Infinity Stones for some reasons, and they themselves are not artifacts of the Marvel Universe.

After the bloody words disappeared into the air, the Eye of Agamotto began to crack and turned into thin silk threads, connecting to the cover of the notebook in Su Ze's arms.

However, in the eyes of others, the Eye of Agamotto seemed to have merged into Su Ze's chest and heart, and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This was the first time that Tony Stark and others saw the power of chaos disappear in Su Ze's hands. Thor didn't pay attention when he got the power of space before, he was just sad at that time.

Dumbledore's attention was still on the inexplicable fire.

Looking up at his palm, Dumbledore discovered that his charred fingers had returned to their original appearance since the fire was extinguished.

Noticing Dumbledore's actions, Su Ze took two steps forward and spoke.

"Before, I never understood why the fire fifty years ago could affect you in the present timeline. Now I understand. Tom hid the established fact in the cracks of reality, and this method also created a fluctuation that was enough to affect the timeline."

"Time overlap theory?" Tony Stark thought about it and spoke uncertainly.

"Yes."

Su Ze nodded, although he didn't know what the words Tony Stark said meant. He turned to look at Dumbledore and continued.

"You and Hagrid, in a sense, are both 'witnesses' of the fire fifty years ago. You were too close to the fire point, so you were more or less affected by the fluctuations. Your burnt hand is also an echo of reality."

Listening to Suze's story, everyone fell silent and listened quietly, and Sirius Black and Professor Snape looked at each other subconsciously.

Previously, in the gap between reality and reality, they all saw Dumbledore with his arm on fire. It would be difficult for them to forget that scene in the short term.

They just didn't expect that what happened in that illusion would actually affect the reality they were in.

"But Headmaster Dumbledore is fine now." Tonks came to Dumbledore and said with a smile.

Dumbledore also smiled, but there was still some worry between his brows. "I'm just a little confused as to why the fire could reach us. According to our previous judgment, the fire set by Tom should not be able to cover our reality."

"Indeed, Tom Riddle's changes to history cannot cover the current reality. All he can do is summon a fierce fire from the Room of Requirement from many possibilities in the future. But that was before he knew the existence of the quantum realm."

Su Ze turned around, looked at the half-burned quantum realm crossing device, and continued speaking.

"The quantum realm is a realm beyond time and space. Just now when we were returning, we accidentally opened a quantum channel connecting two different realities. I think that's why the flames came here."

"But you can rest assured. Tom Riddle is dead. The world hidden in the cracks of reality has also been swallowed up by the turbulence of time. It will no longer affect things here."

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded slightly, and his face obviously relaxed a lot.

From this we can see that Dumbledore has not been able to truly relax for a long time because of Tom Riddle's affairs. Now that he knows that the matter has finally been resolved, he also feels that the weight on his shoulders has been lightened a lot.

"Great." Tonks clapped her hands. "The matter was resolved perfectly, and everyone returned safely."

Before she could finish, Su Ze shook his head slightly. "Not everyone came back safely."

When Su Ze said this, everyone present was stunned, as if they didn't understand what Su Ze meant.

Tony Stark looked around, his eyes passed over Thor, Agatha, Sirius and Snape, and then fell on Suze. "Including you, the five of you are all back."

Su Ze didn't explain, but took out a diary from his pocket.

Upon noticing the existence of the diary, many people showed a look of realization on their faces.

At this time, there was no trace of exquisite retro style on the diary. The whole diary was filled with black gelatinous substance, and the surface was cracked, covered with hideous and disordered cracks.

This is Tom Riddle's diary, and the first Horcrux he created.

"Although the Horcrux Voldemort chose to help us in order to achieve his own plan, but when it comes to the matter rather than the person, I have to admit that he played a very important role." Thinking back to the previous situation in the space turbulence, to be honest, if the Horcrux Voldemort had not taken the initiative to rush out and die together with Tom Riddle, the situation that followed would have been very troublesome.

Even if Tom Riddle was only half dead at the time, if time dragged on too long, the fire fifty years ago would completely cover everyone, and by that time, everyone would not return in their current state.

After handing the diary to Dumbledore, Suze continued, "There is no trace of magic on it anymore, which can be regarded as weakening some of Voldemort's power in disguise."

"Hmm." Dumbledore took the diary and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After doing all this, Su Ze turned and looked in the direction of Rocket Raccoon, Tony Stark and others.

"Things here are over, but I'm afraid we can't sit idle just yet."

Seeing Su Ze's serious expression, Tony Stark and the others, who had just felt relieved, suddenly felt nervous.

They have not forgotten that in another strange universe, countless people are suffering from a catastrophe that is difficult to describe in words.

"Is there anything you need us to do?" Tony Stark asked seriously.

Su Ze pondered for a moment. "What I need most now is Vision's remains. Based on the remaining energy of the Mind Stone, perhaps we can find Jack's location."

"That's easy." Rocket Raccoon patted the wallet that Suze handed to him. "It's already installed, not a single wire is missing."

Under Su Ze's previous insistence, S.W.O.R.D. did not take away Vision's body, and Tony Stark also preserved Vision's remains intact after returning to Earth. Even when he was troubled by the military and various departments, he had no intention of giving them up.

Of course, this is not to say that Tony Stark’s feelings for Vision are so deep, but his personality is that he is soft-hearted and does not respond to hardship.

If you play the emotional card, Tony Stark, who was heartbroken and indifferent to everything at the time, might hand over Vision's remains. But if you just want to cause trouble and want to use some tough measures, then Tony Stark has never been afraid of anyone in his life.

"We cannot be sure whether there is any danger hidden in that universe. After all, even Superman can control the power of the mind. I am afraid it is beyond our imagination. If we act rashly, it will only backfire."

Tony Stark nodded. "You have a point. Loki has used that scepter to cause us a lot of trouble before."

Then he quickly thought of something and turned to look at Rocket Raccoon.

"What are you looking at?" Rocket Raccoon raised his eyebrows.

"Su Ze has the power of space and time, so he won't be controlled by the Mind Scepter. But that's not necessarily true for a little raccoon like you."

Tony Stark ignored it and took out a triangular mechanical device from his pocket.

"Take this. This is a reactor I developed based on the 'legacy' left by my father. Its energy and method both come from the Space Stone. It has a certain protective effect on the Mind Scepter and should be able to prevent you from being affected."

Tony Stark was not exaggerating when he said this. Loki once tried to use the power of the Mind Stone to control Tony Stark, but the power of the Infinity Stone could not work on another Infinity Stone, so the two energies canceled out.

In a sense, it is also a kind of immunity.

"Really? So powerful?" Rocket Raccoon fiddled with the device curiously, as if he wanted to take it apart and take a closer look.

"Don't even think about hacking into this thing's system. I've already configured it. This thing is worth a lot of money."

Tony Stark looked at Rocket Raccoon's curious eyes, perhaps thinking of some previous experiences, and couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Rocket Raccoon grinned and waved his hands, not knowing whether he listened or not.

Watching their conversation, Su Ze also smiled slightly.

At this time, Dumbledore slowly walked over. "Are you leaving now?"

"Well, things in the other universe are a bit tricky. We have to leave as soon as possible. We must solve the problems there before the situation becomes irreversible." Su Ze said seriously.

"Ok."

Dumbledore also knew that Su Ze was not joking. Compared to here, the DC universe was indeed on the brink of destruction.

"If you need any help from me, you can tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will do it."
