A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Chapter 257 The Unparalleled Ancient One Sorcerer, One Strike Cuts the Timeline in Two

And so.

Whether it's the other Black Order or the Black Order, they all received an order from Thanos.

They temporarily set aside the cosmic sphere and instead searched for other Infinity Stones.

The same applies to Ronan, who has a cooperative relationship with Thanos.

Thanos modified the agreement, requiring Ronan to help him find the other Infinity Stones in exchange for Thanos's help in destroying Xandar.

"Thanos, you're using me! This isn't fair!"

"I've sacrificed so much to find the sphere, and now you're telling me everything's wiped clean and I have to start all over again?"

Looking at Thanos's huge face on the "projection wall" in front of him, Ronan was furious.

This is ridiculous!

Is Thanos, that bastard, really using himself as a pawn?

"Watch your tone, Ronan!"

Thanos's voice was deep and arrogant, "Your incompetence has long since worn down my patience, and now you've messed up what's most important to me, and you still have the nerve to talk back to me?"

"This isn't my responsibility; Thor himself took charge..."

"That's enough!"

Thanos interrupted Ronan's explanation with a sharp shout, "Stop trying to make excuses! The sphere was lost from your hands, that's an indisputable fact!"

Ronan's lips began to twitch, his jaw clenched, but he was truly rendered speechless by Thanos's insults.

After all, although Thanos was domineering, what he said still made some sense.

It is an indisputable fact that Ronan lost the cosmic sphere.

"Listen, I'm giving you two choices now."

"First, you must make amends by continuing to help me find other Infinity Stones to atone for your mistakes."

"If you accomplish this, I might, out of respect for your hard work, destroy Xandar for you."

"Secondly, our agreement is null and void. I'm coming over now to discuss the consequences of losing my precious possession!"

Which one do you choose?

Tell me, boy!

Ronan's fist clenched tightly, and not only his mouth but his entire face began to twitch.

You shameless scoundrel!

I have never seen such a shameless person!

Ronan was absolutely furious.

Even so, Ronan knew that he had no other choice at the moment.

The situation is beyond human control; that is an indisputable fact.

Thanos could easily destroy him; that's an indisputable fact.

Therefore, everything is empty.

In this situation, Thanos had him wrapped around his little finger, and if he didn't want to be messed with, he had no choice but to accept it.

"Thanos, I will find the other Infinity Stones for you."

"But don't forget your promise!"

Ronan ultimately chose to compromise.

He continued his arduous task of helping Thanos, and began searching for the other Infinity Stones throughout the galaxy.

Of course.

Thanos himself was the same.

He used all his power to search for the other Infinity Stones besides the Power Stone.

But the outcome was predictable.

Now that the Avengers have all the Infinity Stones, how could Thanos possibly find them?

After more than two years of searching, we haven't found anything, not even the slightest clue.

It was all for nothing.

It's also worth mentioning that because Thor stole the cosmic orb beforehand, Gamora didn't actually encounter Star-Lord.

Star-Lord didn't get targeted by bounty hunter Rocket Raccoon for carrying Yondu's back to sell the cosmic orb.

This led to a major battle on Xandar.

So naturally, apart from Destroyer who was already in prison, the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy were not captured at all.

So that's right, just as Thor thought to himself, the Guardians of the Galaxy never actually came into being!

The great battle that should have taken place on Xandar also did not occur.

Ronan, of course, wouldn't be killed by Star-Lord's dance. He should have died two years ago, but he's still alive and well.

In addition, there is Star-Lord.

Without the "feat" of physically confronting an Infinity Stone, Ego would never have noticed such an unknown nobody.

The "father-son battle" that should have happened more than a year ago also did not occur.

Thor's small action changed a lot of things.

and.

The same discrepancy occurred not only on the Guardians of the Galaxy side, but also on the Avengers side.

Putting aside everything else, the major event that should have happened, the Age of Ultron, never occurred.

The entire Earth was calm and peaceful, without any disturbances.

Aside from the fact that Scott Lang was finally released from prison about a year ago, and then, through a series of maneuvers by Hank Pym, ultimately became the second Ant-Man.

But who would care about a nobody like Scott Lang, besides the diary holders like Nick Fury and the time traveler Zhou Cheng?

For most people, the other party's release from prison is an insignificant matter.

This is especially true for elites like Stephen Strange.

As one of the top neurosurgeons in the United States, Strange can definitely be considered a member of the upper class.

Although he can't compare to a true top-tier figure like Tony.

But looking across the entire United States, how many people are like Strange, living in a mansion, driving luxury cars, having drawers full of expensive watches, and frequenting high-end places every day?

"I'm going to give a speech at a banquet hosted by the Neurology Association tonight, come with me."

A corner of the hospital.

Strange, who had just given a spectacular performance on the operating table, extended an invitation to his colleague Christine.

Although Christine and Strange haven't officially confessed their feelings to each other, they've long maintained a rather ambiguous relationship.

How could Christine possibly refuse Strange's invitation?

Although she seemed very resistant, she agreed anyway.

Strange was incredibly excited.

After returning to her mansion, she dressed up in her finest attire.

He wore a designer suit impeccably and his hair was slicked back and shiny.

They even struggled for quite a while to decide which luxury watch to choose.

It can only be said that the troubles of having money are so simple, unpretentious, and boring.

After finally choosing the luxury watch, Strange set off in his supercar.

Like Tony, he practically treats the road like his own private property.

He sped recklessly and ran red lights, completely disregarding traffic rules.

She was incredibly good at it.

And the result of Strange's phenomenal performance was, of course, without a doubt.

The car overturned while driving on a winding mountain road.

The kind that's really, really miserable.

……

Inside the mansion.

[Skill: Return to Death]

[Attribute: Psychic Ability]

[Source: Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-]

[Detailed introduction: As the name suggests, once the user dies, time will automatically rewind to a point before their death. Satella, the "Witch of Envy," bestowed this ability upon Subaru Natsuki at the very beginning of his journey to the other world.]

"Awesome!"

"This skill is really powerful!"

As he sorted through the memories in his mind, Zhou Cheng was still very excited.

It has to be said that the skill rewarded by the diary this time is very attractive even to Zhou Cheng, who is at his current level.

To put it bluntly, this thing just makes Zhou Cheng truly immortal.

After all, once someone is killed, time will be reset, returning them to the moment before they were killed.

Although with Zhou Cheng's current strength, there are very few people in the entire universe who can kill him.

Who wouldn't want more life-saving measures?

"Wait a moment!"

However, Zhou Cheng quickly realized something.

This ability to return from death comes from the "Witch of Envy".

It goes without saying what kind of status the "Jealousy Witch" holds in the world of "Re:Zero".

But what if we put it into the Marvel universe?

Is it because she encountered someone whose strength surpasses that of the Witch of Envy that her trick became ineffective?

Zhou Cheng was unaware of this, but felt that it was not impossible.

Besides.

The timeline in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a mess; going back in time is essentially going back to a parallel universe.

In other words, each time you go back in time, a new branch of time will be created.

So if you were really killed and then returned to the beginning of the timeline, would a timeline be created?

To create a completely new version of yourself?

Does that brand new self have a diary?

"It feels like a paradox."

Zhou Cheng found this kind of thing quite interesting.

However, after careful consideration, he felt that such a problem was unlikely to occur.

If I were to truly return from death, it would likely be like Loki, the god of tales.

Simply going back to the past, without creating any time branches, right?

Of course.

All of this was just Zhou Cheng's speculation.

As for whether it is or not, it's impossible to know unless Zhou Cheng has actually died once.

"Intelligent Body, is there anything noteworthy happening lately?"

After shifting his attention away from the reward, Zhou Cheng casually asked Zhiti this question.

"Sir, there really is one."

The intelligent body gave such a reply that Zhou Cheng immediately perked up.

Tell me about it.

Zhou Cheng leaned comfortably against the sofa while giving instructions to Zhiti.

"Last night, Stephen Strange, who is on your watchlist, was in a car accident."

Swish!

Along with the voice of the intelligent body, some related news was also projected.

The horrific car accident scene, along with other related images, flashed before Zhou Cheng's eyes.

"Did this crucial car accident finally happen?"

Zhou Cheng glanced at the related news and couldn't help but sigh.

Since Tony Stark, that playboy, was kidnapped, there have been far too many things in this world that deviate significantly from the cinematic universe.

No, it's not even accurate to call it a deviation; some things simply didn't happen!

According to Zhou Cheng's memory.

在纽约之战后，应该分别是钢铁侠3、雷神2、美国队长2、银河护卫队1和2、然后再是复仇者联盟2的。

Then came Ant-Man, followed immediately by Doctor Strange.

But what about now?

Okay, so the story of Iron Man 3 didn't happen because Lu Dan gathered everyone to kill Killian ahead of time. That's fine.

But the key issue is that it's not just about Iron Man 3!

Of all the things that happened after the Battle of New York, it seems that apart from Ant-Man, none of them actually happened.

Of course.

Since the Guardians of the Galaxy are far away in interstellar space, Zhou Cheng is unaware of their activities and will not discuss them for the time being.

Even so, the deviations in this world are extraordinary.

Zhou Cheng really didn't expect that, under these circumstances, Strange would "as expected" have a car accident.

Does this mean that Doctor Strange's story will unfold according to the "plot"?

Zhou Cheng had a sudden inspiration and wrote down some of his thoughts in his diary.

……

Tri-wing building.

"How badly is Strange injured? Is his life in danger?"

Nick Fury asked Coulson, who was standing next to him.

As for Lu Dan, who had been paying close attention to Strange, he naturally learned of the car accident immediately.

"Although the car accident looked horrific, thankfully, Strange had a good habit of wearing a seatbelt."

"He is not in mortal danger, but his hands were severely injured."

Coulson had already obtained the relevant intelligence and immediately reported it to Ludan.

Hearing that Strange wouldn't die, Lu Dan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, he immediately realized something.

"You mean, his hands were severely injured?"

Nick Fury asked meaningfully.

According to spoilers in the diary, Strange is a great sorcerer.

But Lu Dan has been watching the other party for so many years, and the other party has always just been a surgeon.

Although he is indeed outstanding, he clearly has no connection with the "mage circle"!

Lu Dan really had no idea when the other party would become a Grand Mage.

Now, Lu Dan thinks that perhaps an opportunity has come.

After all, the importance of the hands is self-evident for a top neurosurgeon.

This car accident involving the other party has a high probability of directly ending Strange's medical career.

Isn't this an extremely important turning point?

The braised eggs did indeed smell something.

"Okay, I understand."

"Continue to monitor his movements."

Quickly putting aside those thoughts, Nick Fury waved his hand, dismissing Coulson.

"Understood, sir!"

Honest Coulson promptly accepted the order and left.

After Coulson left, Nick Fury began dealing with other related matters.

After working on it for about three hours, it was almost over.

Lu Dan made himself a cup of coffee and took a few breaks.

Taking advantage of this moment, she opened the diary in front of her.

But then they discovered that there were new entries in the diary.

[I really didn't expect that Strange would actually get into a car accident. Looks like Doctor Strange is about to make his appearance!]

[If nothing unexpected happens, Strange's hands are completely useless; he won't be able to hold a scalpel, let alone shave.]

[I can forget about becoming a doctor in this lifetime.]

[It probably won't be long before Strange goes to Kamar-Taj for treatment, right?]

[Then he stepped into his predetermined fate!]

[After careful observation, it turns out only Strange was in the car accident, not Christine. That's a relief for the world.]

In this way, Strange wouldn't destroy the entire universe to save Christine.

However, to be honest, Doctor Strange can't be blamed entirely for this.

[If the Ancient One hadn't severed the timeline in one blow, this tragedy wouldn't have happened, right?]
