He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 124 The Unstable Cosmic Cube (Fifth Update)

Li Chuan joined Kamar-Taj because he believed he could learn about the mysteries of the multiverse and the affairs of dimensional demons through Kamar-Taj's library and the Ancient One.

Although he had watched many Marvel movies and TV shows in his previous life, he was still not very clear about some of the details.

Being nominally under Kamar-Taj at least provides some backing. Before the Ancient One steps down, even if he offends some powerful figures, they might let him off the hook out of respect for the Ancient One.

As for the so-called responsibility to protect the entire planet, he is well aware of that.

As long as the Ancient One lives, this kind of thing will never happen. And once the Ancient One dies, whether or not he is willing to take action is entirely up to him.

However, if Earth were truly facing a crisis of destruction, he would still lend a helping hand if he had the ability, as an Earthling, he also did not want Earth to be destroyed.

Because his friends and subordinates are here, and this is where he lives his life.

Upon hearing Li Chuan's answer, Gu Yi placed a card on the table:

"Whenever you have time, you are welcome to come to Kamar-Taj to exchange magical ideas. Also, your tea is excellent; when you come to Kamar-Taj, you can try our tea."

After saying that, Gu Yi waved her hand, and a circular portal opened. She stepped through it.

After the Ancient One left, Wanda reached for the card on the table and read aloud:

"Sanctuary address: 177A Rick Street, Brussels, Manhattan."

"Wanda, it looks like we can go on a long trip in a few days!"

Li Chuan took the card from Wanda and smiled.

Kamal Taj's headquarters are located in the Himalayas near Kathmandu, Nepal, close to Tibet, so a trip to Kamal Taj can be conveniently combined with a visit to the headquarters.

"Traveling together, just the two of us, sounds like it would be amazing!"

Wanda's eyes lit up when she heard this. Since getting married, Li Chuan had been busy with company matters, and she and Li Chuan had never traveled together. She was very happy at the thought of being able to travel together soon.

"Let's set it for four days from now. Get ready, we're leaving for Kamar-Taj in four days!"

Li Chuan smiled and set a time. He had been busy with side quests for the past month, and it was time to relax.

As for why it was set four days later, it's because just now, he received a new side quest.

"Please help Thor defeat the Destroyer in Old Bridge, New Mexico in three days. Reward: three months of Small World time."

I almost forgot, this time of year seems to coincide with when Thor was sent to Earth by Odin for training. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently engaged in a battle with Hydra and probably doesn't have the resources to send Coulson to investigate further.

The butterfly's wings are flapping, and who knows what changes will occur? But the panel has rewarded me with three months of small world time, so it probably won't be as easy to handle as in the original storyline.

This is the effect of interfering with the plot.

However, there was no other way. If he stayed in Sokovia without interfering with the plot, he would never have reached his current strength. Therefore, comparatively speaking, he chose to intervene in the plot to maximize his own strength first.

The secret base of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Project Pegasus.

Nick Fury looked at Dr. Eric Scharvig and asked:

"How's the progress? Is it possible to make a more portable energy weapon?"

Using the list provided by Li Chuan, and leveraging numerous connections and trump cards, as well as the latest lie detector, he finally managed to temporarily expel the Hydra agents, led by Alexander Pierce, from the S.H.I.E.L.D. system.

Now he wants to see if he can use Project Pegasus to mass-produce a certain number of energy weapons and wipe out those traitors in one fell swoop.

Project Pegasus was originally a plan to research a faster-than-light engine and a new energy source using the Tesseract. It was later interrupted due to problems caused by the Kree invasion, but it also inadvertently created the powerful Captain Marvel.

Later, after Nick Fury obtained the Tesseract from the Flerken, he restarted Project Pegasus in order to defend against a powerful alien civilization that might appear in the future, and it continues to this day.

"It will take some time, and I suggest we stop stimulating it for now, as it's already showing signs of instability."

Dr. Eric replied somewhat helplessly.

Just a month ago, he was teaching students at the university as a professor, but he went to New Mexico to study astronomical phenomena at the invitation of Jane Foster, the daughter of his deceased friend.

Little did he know that a week ago, he was forcibly brought here by this group of agents who called themselves S.H.I.E.L.D., and asked to help them research the so-called Tesseract and create energy weapons.

That's really bad luck!

"Try to stabilize it, but the extraction of energy to develop energy weapons cannot be stopped. Doctor, you are saving the world now, just like Captain America."

If Hydra agents win, Earth will face World War III. You don't want that, do you?

Nick Fury thought for a moment, then spoke earnestly to Dr. Eric.

This is a critical moment in the battle against Hydra. If they cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, the enemy's counterattack will be extremely fierce. He needs to provide the agents with more powerful weapons.

As for the instability of the Cosmic Cube, there shouldn't be any problems. They've been researching it for so many years and there's never been an issue.

"Okay, I'll get it done as soon as possible."

Dr. Eric nodded first, then his eyes darted around and he said:

"Could you let Jane and Daisy go back first? They're bored at the base and can't be of much help anyway."

Nick Fury reached out and patted Dr. Eric on the shoulder, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"Dr. Jane Foster is a renowned astrophysicist; how could she not be of help? As for her intern, Miss Daisy Louise, she can intern here perfectly well; I'll have them issue her an internship certificate later."

"Don't worry, Dr. Eric, once you've completed the mission, I'll let you go immediately and give you a very generous reward."

He worried that if Jane Foster and Daisy Louise were released, Eric Scharvig would have no more scruples and might become more lax in his research on the Cosmic Cube.

Meanwhile, on Titan, countless light-years away from Earth.

The Chitauri wizard, wielding the Mind Scepter, knelt before a purple giant seated on a throne, respectfully reporting:

"Great Thanos, the Cosmic Cube has awakened. It resides in the insignificant world of humanity, which covets its power, but only you can control it."

The purple giant slowly opened its eyes, a cruel smile appearing on its face. Then it stood up and gave the order:

"Go, go and call Gamora and Nebula back. They have a new mission."
