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

Chapter 416 Heading to 2023 (Third Update)

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Tony broke the awkward silence by speaking first.

"I forgot my phone when I went out, and I didn't tell Chili. She probably thought I was with you, so she used my phone to call you."

A very weak explanation.

"Yeah?"

A fleeting look of doubt crossed Li Chuan's face before he extended his thumb, ready to press the answer button.

Tony knew he couldn't fool them anymore, so he gave Steve and Scott a look, then quickly pressed twice on his chest, and his whole body was immediately enveloped in an advanced nano-steel suit.

"You probably won't believe it, but we really mean no harm. We're just borrowing the Mind Scepter for a bit, and we'll return it soon."

Wearing his Iron Man suit, Tony forcefully snatched the Mind Scepter from Li Chuan's hand.

However, Li Chuan smiled and raised his left hand, revealing the Mind Gem he had just removed the moment the scepter was taken away.

"I think what you want isn't that stick, but this gem. Tell me, who are you, and why are you impersonating Tony and Steve?"

"We are Tony and Steve."

Steve suddenly lunged at Li Chuan, intending to knock him to the ground and seize the Mind Stone.

Unfortunately, before she could even touch Li Chuan's body, he grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the wall next to him.

"The movements are imitated quite well."

"Old-fashioned popsicle!"

Upon seeing this, Tony immediately transformed his hands into two super stun guns, pressing them hard against Li Chuan's chest, and a strong electric current instantly spread throughout Li Chuan's body.

He didn't want to hurt Li Chuan, so he didn't use any powerful weapons; he just wanted to stun him with electricity.

"Uh, that's strange. Your suit is even more advanced than Tony's, but this little bit of electricity won't do me any harm."

Li Chuan casually glanced at the two super stun guns printed on his chest, then instantly activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, raised his hand and flicked Tony's forehead, sending Tony flying as if he had been hit by a truck.

"Watch me!"

Scott pressed the button on the Ant-Man suit, instantly shrinking to the size of an ant and jumping to Li Chuan's feet, intending to launch a sneak attack with his ant-sized body despite possessing the strength of an adult.

Unfortunately, before it could even get close, it was blasted away by Li Chuan's lightning chakra and forcibly forced back to its original size.

Just as Steve, Tony, and Scott were being easily defeated by Li Chuan, a figure descended from the sky and punched Li Chuan.

It turns out that after some discussion with the Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Banner finally managed to borrow the Time Stone.

Upon returning, they saw Tony and his two companions being defeated by a stranger, so they naturally launched an attack on the stranger.

"Partial Multiplication Technique!"

Li Chuan's right arm rapidly expanded, then he raised his hand and firmly grasped Banner's fist, slamming it violently to the ground.

"That's impossible?"

Seeing Banner, known for his strength, being easily tossed around by Li Chuan like a rag doll, Tony and the other two, who had just gotten up, immediately gaped in astonishment.

"This is strange. Hulk isn't Hulk, Banner isn't Banner, so who are you?"

Li Chuan watched as Dr. Banner shakily got up from the ground and once again displayed his Oscar-worthy acting skills.

Then a look of surprise appeared on his face:

"Huh, how did the Sorcerer Supreme's Time Stone end up in your hands?"

The Avengers' time travel is definitely being watched by many big shots, so he has to pretend he doesn't know anything about it.

So if you want to follow the Avengers to 2023 to complete the main storyline, you have to make everything make sense.

"It was given to me by the Ancient One; we are not bad people."

Seeing that Li Chuan had stopped attacking, Banner immediately raised the Time Stone in his hand.

Li Chuan then looked hesitant:

"The Sorcerer Supreme gave it to you willingly? Well, with the Sorcerer Supreme's power, you wouldn't have been able to snatch it if she hadn't given it to you willingly."

Seeing this, Tony quickly explained:

"Kawa, we come from a universe eleven years in the future."

"Let's leave here and go somewhere else first."

Seeing the crowd of onlookers drawn by their fight, Li Chuan took out the teleportation book, opened it, and countless pages flew around, instantly sweeping him and Tony and the other three into the book and teleporting them to the small manor on the outskirts of New York.

"Alright, now let me explain what happened."

Seeing Tony and the others looking somewhat surprised by the teleportation, Li Chuan asked with a serious expression.

Then Tony quickly explained their situation in detail.

"I never expected something like this to happen."

After hearing this, Li Chuan's face showed a look of great surprise.

After pondering for two minutes, amidst the expectant gazes of the four, he slowly spoke:

"I can give you the Mind Stone, but on one condition."

"What are the conditions?"

Tony frowned slightly.

What's happening now has long deviated from the original plan, and he's worried that Li Chuan will bring up something that will put them in a difficult position.

Li Chuan smiled:

"Don't worry, to be honest, I just still have some doubts and can't completely trust you."

After all, what you're talking about is very different from what's happening in my world right now.

So I hope that when you go back to 2023, you can take me with you.

If it's really as you say, after rescuing the missing half of the population, and since you're going to return here to return the gem anyway, I'll come back with Dr. Banner.

If not, then don't blame me for being impolite.

"But we only have enough Pym Particles for one person, and you don't have a quantum suit."

At this moment, Ant-Man Scott interjected with a reminder.

Taking Li Chuan to their 2023 timeline is not a big deal, since the timeline that was separated has already changed significantly from theirs, so there's no fear of it causing any special effects.

The key point is that time travel is not an easy thing. Their quantum suits are specially made, and the Pym Particles are also very important.

"Oh, that's not a problem. You can carry me around like you would carry an Infinity Stone, because I can transform into other things."

As he spoke, Li Chuan clapped his hands together and used his transformation magic to turn into a box, which contained the Mind Gem.

"Oh God, that's a really special ability."

Tony and his three companions were startled when Li Chuan suddenly turned into a box with a "bang".

However, he quickly nodded:

"If that's the case, then of course there's no problem."

So Tony and Steve adjusted the time markings on their suits and headed ahead to the U.S. military base in New Jersey in 1970.

Banner and Ant-Man, along with the Mind Stone, the Time Stone, and Li Chuan (who had transformed into a box using a transformation technique), returned to the Avengers headquarters in 2023.
