Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 11 Thank you for coming into this world

Luca was completely stunned and stood there, while Loki across from him still smiled.

"Let me verify your identity first."

As he spoke, Loki gently pointed his finger, and a stream of emerald green light shot directly towards Luca, continuously wrapping around him until the green light completely enveloped Luca's body before dissipating.

All of this happened in an instant, and even Luca himself didn't have time to react.

But when Luca came to his senses, he vaguely felt that the sense of disconnect between himself and the world that had been lingering for the past two months was rapidly disappearing.

Luca was quite certain that his feeling was not an illusion, but when he looked at Loki again, the other party simply waved his hand casually.

"Yeah, you know, sitting in that seat all by yourself with no one to talk to can get a bit boring."

"Since someone has asked me for this, I certainly don't mind giving you a chance to choose again. After all, the reason you're here right now is precisely because you knew of my existence and made a misjudgment."

Luca fell silent again upon hearing this.

Yes, the reason I took such a huge risk to be here was not only because of my adventurous spirit, but also because I was afraid that the timeline would be destroyed and I would disappear along with it.

If Luca had known earlier that Loki had ascended to the throne and that the so-called divine timeline no longer existed, he might have obediently stayed at home and waited for the Battle of New York to end.

Now that Loki has appeared before him, and he is certain that the world will not be destroyed as a result, it seems that he really doesn't need to risk stopping Loki anymore.

However, Luca then turned his attention to something else.

"So, can you tell me who asked you to come?"

Clearly, compared to what Loki is doing right now, the guy who can get his attention is equally noteworthy.

After all, this person just said that someone like him is not uncommon, so what merit do he have to attract the attention of that big shot who can persuade Loki to act?
However, when Luca asked him a question, Loki gave a strange smile and then gave a somewhat exaggerated bow with one hand on his chest.

"I've said everything I needed to say. The choice is now yours to make."

"Crisis and opportunity coexist; thank you for coming into this world~"

As he finished speaking, Loki's figure transformed into countless pale green specks of light, disappearing like a dream bubble.

The once static world gradually came alive with his disappearance.

As time seemed to resume its flow, Luca, standing in the same spot, still had a furrowed brow.

"Damn! I hate these kinds of riddle-solving people the most!"

However, after saying this, Luca was taken aback.

The world, which had seemed to have returned to stillness, suddenly stopped again in a bizarre way.

Even the movements of the pedestrians on the street did not change at all.

Seeing this, Luca's face fell, and he quickly muttered something under his breath.

"No, no, it's not annoying at all. It was my fault for being so sharp-tongued! You should go back now."

However, the still world before them did not end; instead, a crackling sound of sparks bouncing came from behind Luca.

Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice reached Luca's ears.

Has His Majesty already left?

Luca felt a chill run down his spine and immediately turned around to prepare for a fight.

However, upon seeing who it was, he blurted out the answer instinctively.

"Gabriel!"

The moment he said that, even the person behind him was taken aback.

"???"

However, upon noticing the simple yellow monk's robe and the golden portal halo behind him, Luca immediately realized he had misspoke and coughed awkwardly.

"Master Ancient One?"

Yes, the person who arrived was none other than the Sorcerer Supreme, the guardian of Earth, the most powerful sorcerer, the Ancient One.

just
'No way! This...this Ancient One has hair?!'

Although Luca tried his best to control his gaze, he still subconsciously glanced at the newcomer's short, light blond hair. The Ancient One clearly noticed Luca's gaze as well.

"Have you seen me from other worlds?"

As she spoke, she gently twirled her curly hair and responded with a smile.

"You always have to differentiate yourself from your counterparts in other worlds, don't you?"

Looking at the Ancient One, who not only had a different hairstyle but also seemed much younger than he remembered, Luca couldn't help but think to himself.

'If you had appeared sooner, how could I have mistaken this world?!'

Luca then looked toward the portal behind the Ancient One.

Time seemed to stand still there, and you could even see Bruce Banner, the Hulk, who had been standing downstairs from your apartment, now lying quietly on the rooftop behind the portal.

Seeing that Luca's gaze was starting to wander again, the Ancient One with hair in front of him decided to bring the topic back and continue asking questions.

Has His Majesty already left?

Luca quickly looked away, but since he was unsure of the Ancient One's temperament in this world, he chose to restrain himself and honestly answer her questions.

"Lord Loki should have already left. Is there something you need him for?"

To everyone's surprise, Gu Yi shook her head slightly.

"I have no way of contacting His Majesty; I'm here to find you!"

Luca frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Unable to reach?

Is it that it's unreachable, or that it's impossible to have contact?

Thinking back to what Loki had said to him earlier, there was indeed something strange about this.

However, now the Ancient One claims to have come to find him.
He'd already experienced enough excitement that day, and now another big shot was coming to him.
'Am I really some kind of hot commodity?'

Slightly annoyed, Luca didn't bother with any guessing games and simply asked directly.

"What does Master Gu Yi want with me?"

'It can't be that Loki, the god, is too lazy to banish him, so the Ancient One, the guardian of Earth, ends up banishing him instead, can it?'

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was frowning and slightly hesitant, Gu Yi smiled slightly and gave his answer directly.

"I'm here to make a deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Luca immediately shuddered.

'That sounds familiar.'

However, he did not rush to speak, but quietly waited for Gu Yi to continue.

With a slight beckoning of his finger, the Ancient One released a Hextech Crystal that was completely encased in Luca's package.

Luca looked closely and saw that it was the 'core component' that could synthesize the [Hextech Core].

However, since the big boss needs it, Luca, a mere Karami, wouldn't be ungrateful and would naturally offer it up with both hands.

“Master Ancient One, you’re joking. Since you want it, let’s not talk about a deal. I’ll just give it to you.”

However, the Ancient One shook her head again, gently pinched the [Hextech Crystal] and put it back into Luca's hand.

"No need to send it as a gift. What I need isn't the crystal itself, but the finished product after you've completed it. Then I'll give you a reward that will satisfy you. Yes, a very satisfying reward~"

Looking at the 'heavy' Hextech crystal in his hand, Luca was speechless.

'Well, why are you acting like everyone knows about my limited abilities?'

"That"

Luca looked up again, about to speak, when the Ancient One vanished without a trace.

Time resumed its flow, and the cacophony of sounds rushed into our ears once more.
