Marvel Person: You call this a sorcerer?

After once again "draining" Dormammu dry, Ronan left the Dark Dimension satisfied.

The dark energy he absorbed this time is enough for him to digest for a while longer.

Well, it sounds a bit strange, but that's the truth.

Given Ronan's current condition, he cannot take control of the entire Dark Dimension all at once.

So he began his strategy of gradual encroachment.

The more times this happens, the stronger his control over the Dark Dimension will become, while Dormammu's will become weaker.

At that point, Dormammu will be at his mercy.

Upon returning to Earth, Ronan did not contact anyone but instead took out the controller for Kang the Conqueror.

He put the controller on his wrist and then pressed a button on it.

As the button was pressed, a portal appeared in front of Ronan.

This portal is somewhat different from the one Ronan used when he first entered the Time Management Bureau; the permissions might have been different from the beginning.

Just as Ronan had predicted.

When he stepped into the portal, what he saw was not the interior of the Time Management Bureau.

It was the castle he had left back then.

That's right, it's the castle where Conqueror Kang lived.

The castle was still in a state of chaos, just as it had been when Ronan left.

The damage caused by the battle showed no signs of repair.

In other words, no one has come here since Ronan left.

The body of Kang the Conqueror lay on the chair, showing no signs of decay.

Ronan was not surprised by this.

In this place, time shows no sign of passing; one could even say that time is frozen in time.

"As I suspected, magic is still prohibited here."

Ronan sensed the magic within him, only to discover that his connection with the Vishanti had been severed.

The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj borrowed their magical power and spells from their ancestor, Vishanti.

Once this connection is severed, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are nothing more than humans with slightly stronger bodies than ordinary people.

But Ronan is different.

Ronan also possesses another power within him.

Feeling the uncontrollable power within his body, Ronan couldn't help but shake his head.

Knew it.

This place is essentially like a "signal jammer".

This signal jammer not only blocked external connections, but also sealed the power within each person's body.

Those who possess superpowers, whether innate or acquired, can only rely on technology or their physical abilities here.

In some respects, Kang the Conqueror was virtually invincible.

Of course, this only applies to the tech version.

What Ronan was more curious about was how Conqueror Kang was able to do that?

Ronan was unaware of the others, but the one who was in contact with Ronan was Vishanti.

The Triune God.

Why was Kang the Conqueror able to block the connection with the gods?

However, the thought that Tony Stark will be able to use technology to create an Infinity Gauntlet capable of manipulating the Infinity Stones in the next few years is quite remarkable.

Hundreds of years have passed since then, and technology has advanced so much.

It's not so surprising that they could make such a "signal jammer".

After all, in the Marvel universe, science can, in a way, explain metaphysics.

Having figured this out, Ronan walked to the window and looked outside.

Just as when he left, the light strip representing the timeline still has countless branches.

This signifies that the concept of parallel universes has been established.

The Conquerors Kang are already joyfully galloping across the timelines of various parallel universes, running rampant and causing chaos.

Even with the help of the Time Management Bureau, it's no longer possible to prevent the birth of parallel universes.

Perhaps parallel universes were born from the very beginning.

The moment Ronan arrived in Universe 616.

Ronan shook his head and pressed the bracelet on his right hand.

As a beam of red light spread throughout the room, the infrared scan was complete.

"There is no dark room, and there is no other way out."

"There wasn't even a hidden compartment in the entire room."

Ronan glanced at the infrared scan results and couldn't help but frown.

Is this "office" really that simple?

Or is it...?

Ronan raised his left arm.

Since he arrived here, the controller on his left arm seems to have finally connected to a "WiFi" signal.

The lights above finally came on.

"It seems that all the secrets are here."

Ronan recalled the expression on Kang the Conqueror's face when he handed him the controller.

So he didn't hesitate and pressed the button that hadn't responded at the time.

To Ronan's surprise, he touched almost all the control buttons, but none of them responded.

It's like something's missing.

"It seems that the Time Management Bureau is hiding quite a few secrets."

"At least for now, it's still a bit difficult to unravel its secrets."

Since the secrets of the Time Management Bureau could not be unraveled for the time being, Ronan did not delve into it further.

It wasn't that he didn't want to investigate further, but his keen ears heard footsteps coming from not far away.

Ronan looked toward the source of the sound.

As the footsteps drew closer, a person Ronan knew all too well came into view.

Kang the Conqueror.

No, to be precise, it was another conqueror, Kang.

Although they look no different from each other, their clothing and style are completely different.

Kang was wearing an outfit similar to an aircraft suit, with a black cape on his back.

The head is protected by a cover.

Compared to the previous "remnant," the conqueror Kang before him seemed to have a more villainous aura.

Ronan lightly touched the bracelet twice, and his Iron Man suit was complete.

"Classic style? Huh?"

Conqueror Kang glanced at Ronan's "transformed" appearance and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

For Ronan, this was the latest technology.

But for Kang the Conqueror, this was already considered "old fashion".

"No, in my opinion, my classic suit is more technologically advanced than your spacesuit."

Ronan didn't hold back in his criticism.

Indeed, in Ronan's opinion, the outfit Kang the Conqueror is currently wearing is incredibly outdated.

It's not only outrageously tacky, but also incredibly ugly.

It doesn't even have a hint of future technology.

If science fiction authors could see what future combat suits would look like.

They might even doubt whether their fantasies are wrong.

"You even make me wonder if future technology will follow the old-fashioned style."

"After all, people were wearing this outfit back in the 1930s and 40s."

Ronan continued to complain.

Indeed, he now even thinks that Steve Rogers' classic suit isn't so ugly anymore.

It looks better than the Conqueror Kang outfit.

"Perhaps so. Aren't all humans like that?"

"I always reminisce about the good old days and look forward to the mysterious future."

Conqueror Kang shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about Ronan's taunts.

But judging from what he said, he still seems to consider himself a human being.

It seems that the conqueror Kang before us is at least not some Pharaoh Kang or a god Kang.

There's still a fight to be had!

"So, what are you doing dressed like that?"

"It's not to collect your 'brother's' corpse, is it?"

Ronan glanced at the other Kang, who had been lying peacefully in the chair for who knows how long, and asked with a smile.

If Kang wanted to collect the body, he probably would have done so already.

But now that Ronan has appeared, things are probably not that simple.

"No, I just wanted to come and see you."

"Ronan Yao, who will leave behind countless mysterious legends in the future."

Conqueror Kang looked at Ronan with the same gaze one would give a dead man.

In his time, if Ronan had not achieved immortality, he might have died.

But that look made Ronan a little uncomfortable.

"So, you're also planning to discuss with me what my future self will be like, just like the person lying down here?"

"Let me remind you, he died not long after he finished discussing my future."

Ronan pursed his lips, clearly unhappy.

It wasn't just Kang the Conqueror's gaze that displeased him, but also his words.

He's always the one spoiling other people's future.

Why are people still spoiling his future?

Given Ronan's double standards, he would definitely be unhappy about this situation!

"No, I've only heard some rumors."

"After all, in my time, the news that you were dead was never verified."

"On the contrary, you have saved the earth countless times."

Conqueror Kang shook his head, and his eyes seemed to have changed slightly.

"So, according to you, you must be from the future of my universe."

"Or have you already discussed me among yourselves?"

Ronan quickly realized what was going on.

Because the Ancient One once told Ronan that Ronan was unique.

This implies that Ronan is special not only in his own universe, but also in other parallel universes.

To put it another way, it's highly likely that Ronan doesn't exist in other universes.

"No, you've only left behind some legends in my universe."

"The Sorcerer Supreme of your generation, Strange, left your story in the library of Kamar-Taj."

"He erased all traces of you from that universe, so that only each Sorcerer Supreme can know your name and deeds."

"And I only learned about you by chance."

Conqueror Kang shook his head, denying Ronan's statement.

However, he also did not hide anything from Ronan.

"You're from Universe 616?"

Ronan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

If the conqueror Kang in front of us comes from universe 616, then what I said before makes sense.

After all, Strange from Universe 616 once used the Oblivion Curse on the people of Earth.

Since those Kangs can gather together, it means they also have the ability to travel between parallel universes.

It's not surprising that I was able to come to this universe.

"Yes."

Kang the Conqueror readily admitted this.

"Since you come from Universe 616, why don't you go and conquer Earth?"

"You didn't come to see me just to see how handsome I am, did you?"

Ronan shrugged.

Instead of doing the "good stuff" of conquering or destroying the universe, this kind of villain comes looking for him.

What's going on here?

"I just want to see what it was like when the timeline was unified and the parallel universe shuttle hadn't been invented yet."

"Who exactly is someone who can travel between parallel universes?"

Conqueror Kang looked at Ronan, a glint in his eyes.

Ronan remained skeptical of his statement.

the reason is simple.

Given Kang the Conqueror's personality, did he really care about such things?

Clearly, they don't care.

As a true ambitious man, after conquering one parallel universe after another, he wanted to kill all the other versions of himself and then rule all the parallel universes.

Would someone like that really care about Ronan?

Or is there something about Ronan that can stop him?

Let me guess.

You actually came here with two purposes.

"One of them really came to see me, and while they were at it, they killed me."

"After all, I could hear your fear of me in your words."

"Although you hid it very well."

Ronan looked at Kang the Conqueror and smiled.

Kang the Conqueror, however, looked at Ronan without changing his expression and said, "And the second objective?"

He neither denied nor admitted it.

"Your second objective is that if you can't kill me, you must use other means to slow me down."

"If I'm not mistaken, you've probably already begun your journey in Universe 616 right now, haven't you?"

Ronan calculated the time; based on the different time flows in the two universes, it should be around this time.

After listening to Ronan's analysis, Kang the Conqueror laughed.

He couldn't help but start clapping.

"I must say, the conclusion we reached after our discussion was indeed correct."

"The reason you are so outstanding and powerful is not only because of your strength, but also because of your intelligence."

"Even those predictions that frighten us."

"Predictions for the future!"

The Conqueror Kang acknowledged Ronan's statement.

It seems that Ronan will indeed bring a lot of trouble to Kang the Conqueror in the future.

More importantly, it seems that he only sees Ronan as a nuisance.

They didn't care about anyone else at all.

"So, in the future, you established the Time Management Bureau and even placed its headquarters in this universe."

"They precisely severed my connection with Vishanti and sealed the power within me."

"It seems you've been on guard against me from the very beginning."

Ronan finally understood why the Time Management Bureau existed in his universe.

However, in the universe of 616, there has never been an organization called the Time Administration Bureau.

"call"

"If it weren't for the confirmation that you were never present at the point in time I was at."

"I really thought you were someone who traveled back from the future too."

Conqueror Kang let out a soft breath, seemingly quite shocked by Ronan's conjecture.

In other words, Ronan was right too.

Ronan smiled.

Perhaps Kang the Conqueror never imagined that, in a sense, Ronan was indeed a time traveler.

However, he didn't travel through time.

It is the fourth wall.

We made it! We made it!

I told my friends in the group that once I'm done with my work, I won't stop updating until the book is finished.

So far, I haven't broken my promise.
