The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 405 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump

Wes completely ignored the series of subsequent changes that the Time Mutation Administration had fallen into after he left; those chaos and disputes were nothing but fleeting clouds compared to his current goals.

At this moment, he had returned to the core control center of the mage tower, a place that was quiet and mysterious, with strange runes shimmering on the surrounding walls.

He focused intently on the time controller he had just acquired, his eyes filled with exploration and longing.

Wes held his wand and gently touched the time controller. However, just as the tip of the wand was about to touch it, a powerful reaction force came and bounced the wand away, making Wes's arm go numb slightly.

"The Arahu Cave Opens."

Weiss muttered to himself.

They attempted to open the casing of the time controller to peek inside.

He eagerly anticipated that he could use this to see its core structure and uncover the secrets hidden by the laws of time.

But the moment the spell took effect, the time controller seemed to come alive and began to vibrate incessantly.

The light around him flickered more and more intensely as he fought with all his might against Wes's magical invasion.

Upon seeing this, Wes's eyes sharpened, and he unhesitatingly increased his magic output. A more surging torrent of magic surged from his palm, continuously flowing towards the time controller.

But this action seemed to anger the time controller, which shook even more violently and made a buzzing noise, as if issuing a final warning.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a powerful impact came from the time controller. Caught off guard, Wes stumbled and took a few steps back before barely regaining his balance.

A hint of resentment flashed across his face, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of stubbornness and determination.

Wes is not one to give up easily. He was unwilling to be stumped by the controller, so he tried several more times, but each time he failed. The time controller stubbornly resisted his attempts to disassemble it.

Helpless, Wes calmed down and carefully recalled the memories he had read from Mr. Paradox. However, to his disappointment, Mr. Paradox's memories did not contain any information on how to disassemble the time controller, which made Wes feel somewhat troubled.

"Patience is the key to everything."

Wes took a deep breath and silently encouraged himself.

He was not discouraged by this, after all, he had encountered countless thorny problems in his magical training career, and this setback was not enough to make him back down.

Moreover, he has plenty of time, a unique advantage he possesses as a powerful mage.

Over the next few days, Weiss devoted himself entirely to solving the problem of disassembling the time controller.

He tried all sorts of magical techniques, from ancient and obscure forbidden spells to elemental magic, leaving no stone unturned;

They even resorted to alchemy, attempting to break through the time controller's defenses with metals of different properties and mysterious potions, but all their efforts were in vain.

"I was planning to rely on my own skills, but they forced me to cheat!"

Wes muttered something in exasperation, then waved his hand, and a stone platform slowly rose from the ground in the control center.

On the stone platform, a reality gem emitting a red glow floats in the air.

Its light is dreamlike and ethereal, as if it can distort reality and change all established rules.

Wes carefully manipulated the Reality Stone, causing it to slowly touch the Time Controller.

At first, as before, the time controller began to vibrate violently, trying to resist the powerful external force.

Wes dared not be careless in the slightest. He focused intently on sensing the power struggle between the two, carefully channeling his magic, trying to find a balance point so that the Reality Stone could break through the Time Controller's defenses.

Finally, after his persistent efforts, a slight sound came: "Click~".

The sound of gears and machinery turning was exceptionally clear in the silent control center.

The time controller was finally disassembled, revealing countless extremely precise parts to Wes.

Wes's eyes quickly searched among the parts, and soon he found the core component.

"Would you say it was expected?" Wes shook his head with a wry smile the moment he saw the core component.

It turns out that the core of the time controller is actually the "Time Stone" from the Infinity Stones.

However, this is not the one that everyone is familiar with in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Time Mutation Administration collected multiple "Time Stones" from the multiverse and used them to create this powerful time controller.

A thought struck Wes, and he casually tossed an apple into the Time Stone to test its power.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The apple withered and died the moment it approached the Time Stone, eventually turning into nothingness.

Upon seeing this, Wes understood immediately; he knew he couldn't use the tampered Time Stone directly.

After a moment's thought, Wes decided to reassemble the time controller first.

Wes felt that studying it within the Marvel multiverse was rather dangerous, as it could easily cause an imbalance in the multiverse if not handled carefully.

If not handled properly, it might cause a hornet's nest, attracting those powerful, almost invincible beings from the Celestial Group.

The Celestials never stand idly by when things disrupt the order of the multiverse; if they set their sights on you, you're in big trouble.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it would be safer to study this Time Stone in another world.

So, Wes carefully used the Reality Stone's magical power to distort and control reality to temporarily seal away the Time Stone.

Under his careful manipulation, the Reality Stone emitted a soft yet resilient light, like a sturdy cage enveloping the Time Stone, ensuring that its immense and uncontrollable power would not go out of control or leak any traceable aura, lest someone trace the coordinates of this world through the slightest clue.

After doing all this, Wes finally breathed a sigh of relief, then cast a spell to open a time portal and return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Amidst a flurry of light and shadow and a distortion of space, Wes's figure gradually became clear, finally landing steadily on the African savanna.

However, to Wes's surprise, there was someone quietly waiting for him there.

"Steve?"

Wes frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

A tent was set up next to Steve, and there was some trash scattered around. It was clear from these signs that he had been there for some time.

This is the very place where Wes disappeared. It seems Steve had been lying in wait here, and he finally caught up with him.
