A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Ugh……"

Just then, a subtle fluctuation suddenly emanated from the space gem in his palm.

Cao Gui's pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly sat up from the sofa. There was an anomaly in the space near his home!

Outside the door, a light shone, and Ant-Man, dressed in a white and red suit with an "A" symbol representing the Avengers on his left chest, appeared in front of Cao Gui's house.

"Damn it! Damn it! Something went wrong!" Scott retracted his white and red suit, then, still in his Ant-Man uniform, yelled in frustration.

"As expected, we don't have enough Pym Particles. We came to the wrong place!"

He was so anxious that he paced back and forth, scratching his head and looking at the scepter in his hand, he let out another long sigh.

"Scott, didn't I tell you to leave?"

Just then, an unfriendly greeting came from behind. Scott turned around and saw an Asian youth looking at him with some displeasure, as if he wanted to hit him.

------------

Chapter 450 The Visitor in 2023

"Uh... hi, how are you, buddy?"

Scott greeted him; after all, he was new here, so being friendly was the proper thing to do. However… this person seemed to know him. He wondered if he could get some information out of him… at least he needed to figure out the timeline!

Scott no longer has Pym Particles, so his suit is useless; he can't even beat an ordinary person with a gun.

"Answer my question. Didn't I already tell you to leave? Why are you back... Huh?"

Cao Gui said unhappily. He didn't see Scott's white and red battle suit, but when he glanced around, he saw the Mind Scepter in Scott's hand.

"Why are you holding Loki's scepter?"

"Uh... this..." Scott froze, inwardly cursing. This person was no ordinary person, at least not of ordinary status. He should have seen Loki's scepter... This is troublesome. He has no power to fight back!

After Cao Gui finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Scott, but instead looked up at the sky with a strange sense of being watched, probably by the Ancient One.

As expected, the feeling of being spied on vanished in an instant. Since Cao Gui had accepted the matter, there was no need for her to pay attention to it anymore.

"Hey buddy, do we know each other?" Scott scratched his head. The other person seemed to know him very well, but he didn't know anything about him.

Cao Gui's eyes flashed, and he took out the photo he had just taken with the Polaroid camera and threw it at him.

Scott took the photo and immediately felt embarrassed. His mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and his hands and feet were twisted into strange arcs. It was obviously the appearance of someone who had been electrocuted. As an electrical engineer, he was all too familiar with what it looked like after being electrocuted.

Scott's hand went limp as the photo flew back into the Asian youth's hands. He secretly lamented his loss, realizing he had been thinking of destroying the photo.

"Tell me everything, including the Loki scepter you have," Cao Gui said, waving the photo, but... he already had a hunch...

“Uh…aren’t you going to invite me in?” Scott said, though his tone was unfriendly, but “I” and he were probably friends…

"Hmph, do you know why you look like this in the photo?" Cao Gui sneered, "It's because you thought I couldn't see you after you shrunk down, so you tried to force your way into my house."

Scott's lips twitched. So this guy wasn't here with good intentions!

“Alright, I’ll tell you.” Scott glanced at the Taser in Cao Gui’s hand, sighed, and then said seriously:

"What I'm about to tell you... well... don't be afraid!"

“I am a Level 5 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I have received rigorous training. I am not afraid!” Cao Gui said.

"So that's how it is," Scott thought with relief. "This guy might be a good person." "I just...time traveled!"

"..."

……

As Scott recounted his story with great emotion, Cao Gui confirmed his suspicions: the Scott in front of him was from 2023, five years after Thanos snapped his fingers.

When Thanos snapped his fingers, Scott was in the Quantum Realm collecting energy for Ghost and narrowly escaped the annihilation crisis. Five years later, he was fortunate enough to be rescued by a rat.

So he proposed the idea of ​​traveling through time to get the Infinity Stones, snapping his fingers, and saving the world.

As he put it, the idea was far-fetched, but Captain America, who had been struggling in despair for five years, and Black Widow readily agreed to it.

Black Widow: Five years! Do you know how we've spent these past five years?!

Captain America: I'm going to snap my fingers. Thanos can't stop me, I said it!

So... with the help of Stark and Dr. Banner, they actually developed a machine for traveling through time and made it into the shape of a nanosuit.

However, only one person can create Pym Particles. After Dr. Pym turned to dust, no one else in the world can create them anymore. They only have one chance to go back and forth.

Unfortunately, problems still arose along the way, especially for Scott, whose combat power relied entirely on Pym Particles.

He used time travel once, and then used a lot more when he was trying to get the Space Stone. As a result, the amount of Pym Particles that could have supported one round trip was not enough to support the return, and he ended up in front of Cao Gui by a twist of fate.

"So that's how it is..." Cao Gui murmured, stroking his chin.

"So... could you lend me some money? I need to go to San Francisco to get some Pym Particles, and I still need to save the world..." Scott scratched his head and said somewhat shyly. It was really embarrassing for a superhero to need to borrow money.

Cao Gui glanced at him. If he had seen Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, he might not have acted this way. Superheroes not only need to borrow money, but they might also get cheated on.

Unless you throw some dust in someone else's eyes!

"Also, tell me where Scott is at this time. I need to meet with him because I need to abide by the laws of time."

Scott said hastily, his expression somewhat anxious. The longer he lingered at a certain point in time, the greater the impact on this world would be, so he had to return to his own world as soon as possible.

Cao Gui rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What time law? You didn't travel through time at all, you traveled through a world!"

"What!?"

Scott exclaimed, "So our theory was wrong, but we still succeeded!"

Cao Gui ignored him, took out his phone and placed a video in front of him. Scott looked bewildered, but still leaned closer to look.

In the image, Tony Stark stands under the camera and spotlight, holding a note and sporting a confident smile.

Scott paused for a moment. Wasn't this the scene where Tony admitted to being Iron Man?

"I am Iron Man..." Scott thought to himself.

Sure enough, Tony Stark grinned and said, "I'm Iron Man... *sobs*..."

"Wang Defa?!"

Scott retreated hastily, crying out in terror:

"How did Tony turn into a woman? Damn it, he's a man, but his chest is prettier than a woman's... Wait, why am I looking at an old man's chest... Bullshit!"

Cao Gui smiled without saying a word, and secretly recorded what Scott had just done.

"So... this really is another world?" Scott said, still shaken, after calming down.

He seemed to be starting to believe it...

“Of course!” Cao Gui snorted, “You’re not traveling through time. Time is something that only the Time Stone can affect. Even quantum mechanics can’t affect it… at least not your quantum mechanics.”

"You've simply traveled to a parallel world at the same point in time. I must say, you're very lucky."

Scott was a little confused, but also relieved; it seemed to make sense...

Cao Gui ignored him, raised his right hand, and the Space Stone slowly appeared. Brilliant blue spatial energy enveloped Scott's entire body and anchored itself on him.

In this way, even in another world, Cao Gui could clearly sense his location.

“The Cosmic Cube…” Scott’s eyes widened. Does this person hold the Cosmic Cube of this world?

"What's going on?" Scott asked, puzzled.

Cao Gui did not answer, but instead flicked his finger, and a spatial portal filled with blue light opened. Cao Gui reached in, grabbed two tubes of red Pym Particles, and tossed them to Scott.

"Thank you... God, this is wonderful." Scott almost cried with joy, frantically stuffing the particle solution into his combat suit. He thought he was going to be trapped in another world forever.

"You go back first, I'll be there soon," Cao Gui said.

"Huh?" Scott was completely bewildered. You're going to our world?

“I’m very interested in Thanos and want to go and fight him,” Cao Gui said casually, flicking his sleeves.

Scott was still completely bewildered and didn't quite understand. It sounded amazing, but regardless, he still had to return to his own world.

After a moment of silence, he tapped his watch, and a white and red battle suit appeared, flashed with light, and disappeared.

Cao Gui returned to the house, recorded a video, briefly explained the situation to Gwen and Beth, and then gave instructions on what happened next.

After doing all this, Cao Gui closed his eyes slightly, and the space gem in his palm flashed. He quickly sensed the anchor point he had left on Scott.

"Luckily you weren't home, otherwise I wouldn't want to go over there..." Cao Gui sighed softly, opened the spatial door, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked in.

Chapter 451 I never expected you to be this kind of captain!

2023

In northern New York State, west of the Massey Mountains.

This place was originally an old warehouse belonging to Howard Stark. In Cao Gui's original world, it was requisitioned by S.H.I.E.L.D. to move some things that headquarters couldn't fit in.

In this world, Stark uses it as a base for the Avengers, and Natasha also considers it her home.

In a large warehouse, a circular time machine suddenly lit up with light, and several figures appeared abruptly.

The nerdy Thor, the convincingly fake Nebula, the perpetually miserable Hawkeye Clint, Rocket Raccoon, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, War Machine, and more...

Having just returned, everyone looked at each other blankly, yet also with surprise, as if everything that had just happened was a dream…

"Oh, thank God, I'm back, I'm really back..." Scott spoke first, dropping the Mind Scepter in a panic and frantically touching himself all over, looking completely shaken.

But seeing the extra vial of Pym Particles in his suit, he was certain that what he had just experienced was not a dream.

Thinking of this, Scott glanced at the somewhat aged Tony Stark, and then recalled the female version of Tony Stark he had just seen, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. My God, this is too amazing...

"Has everyone gotten their Originium?" Banner, who resembled the Hulk, asked.

"Hahaha, I can't believe it, we actually succeeded!" War Machine Rhodes said in utter astonishment, shaking the cosmic orb in his hand, which contained the Power Stone.

With a thud, Hawkeye Clinton knelt on the ground, his face ashen. He showed no joy at having obtained the gem; instead, he looked as if Natasha had died.

In fact, Natasha did die. The Soul Stone required the exchange of one's most beloved person, and Natasha sacrificed herself to obtain the stone.

As it turns out, Natasha never makes empty promises; she's exactly like that. Before setting off, she smiled and said, "See you in a minute."
