Chapter 147

There was a terrifying detail he had previously overlooked.

That was the Time Stone!

When Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian appeared, they only said they wanted to kill Bruce Banner and himself; they didn't mention the Time Stone.

Doctor Strange had already turned into a zombie when he appeared, and he didn't have the Time Stone on him.

Later, when Su Quan cleared out the Sanctum Sanctorum, he discovered the Eye of Agamotto, which should have contained the stone.

Where did the Time Stone go?

Could there be a possibility that when Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight of the Black Order came looking for the stone, they encountered Doctor Strange, who had already turned into a zombie?

And then, they took the stone but were infected and turned into zombies themselves?

And then, they infected the entire army, and infected Thanos?

Yes, Thanos had other Infinity Stones on his hand.

But to infect him, one didn't need to defeat him or kill him; just a tiny wound would be enough.

The most loyal subordinates brought the Time Stone back, and caught off guard, they launched a sneak attack, causing a tiny wound on Thanos, subsequently infecting him.

It was still possible, right?

Besides Vision's Mind Stone, Thanos should have had five stones.

A five-stone zombie Thanos?!

How could Wakanda block that? How could the force field shield block that?

Falling was the inevitable result!

Moreover, this could also explain why this was an apocalyptic timeline.

Suppose there was no him; Bucky and the others took a car to find Vision, and then luckily escaped and obtained the Mind Stone.

Where would they go?

Definitely Wakanda!

Along the way, they would surely suffer losses and significant casualties.

The few remaining people arrived in Wakanda full of hope, only to see a five-stone zombie Thanos.

Damn, how desperate would that be!

Healing everyone with the Mind Stone would be impossible to achieve.

Snap his fingers to restore everything to normal?

With just the few stragglers left, how could they possibly snatch the gauntlet and snap their fingers against a five-stone zombie Thanos and a zombie army?

The result didn't even need to be thought about; everyone would definitely fall.

Therefore, this was the apocalyptic timeline, because there wasn't a shred of hope or possibility!

The more Su Quan thought about it, the more he felt his guess was very likely to happen. Why not take a look and confirm it?

Open a small portal and take a peek.

If it had really fallen, it would save him from being unprepared when he went tomorrow.

He would be fine, but the others might just be delivering themselves to their deaths.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The knocking on the door interrupted Su Quan's little hand that was about to draw a circle.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Sharon." The person outside the door responded and opened the door to come in.

"I found a set of clean clothes for you; your original ones can't be worn anymore."

"Oh, thanks."

Su Quan poked his head out from behind the curtain to take a look; Sharon Carter had already placed the clothes on the vanity.

Sharon Carter didn't leave after putting down the clothes, but stood in front of the mirror, looking at her own confused face, and asked softly.

"Do you think we really have hope of saving this world?"

"We obtained the Mind Stone and obtained the method to heal everyone."

"Wakanda is protected by a force field; it should be the last safe place for humanity."

"We still have you; you can open a portal and go directly to Wakanda, avoiding all possible dangers."

"I should feel at ease; tomorrow at daybreak, we can heal everyone and save this world."

"But—"

Sharon Carter touched her still-confused cheek and turned to look at Su Quan.

"But why do I not feel a shred of joy? All I have is worry and confusion?"

Su Quan curled his lips: "Do you like being spoiled?"

"I don't!"

Sharon Carter shook her head: "But this time, I really hope someone can spoil it for me."

Su Quan didn't say much more and began drawing a circle on the wall to the side of the two.

Amidst the golden light, a miniature portal appeared.

Su Quan and Sharon Carter looked into the portal at the first opportunity.

What came into view was a purple face; this face was as terrifying as other zombies.

On his hand, he wore a golden gauntlet.

On the gauntlet, five stones were flickering with light!

"Thump!"

Sharon Carter's eyes were listless, and she slumped weakly under the vanity.

Su Quan closed the portal.

Good grief!

This purple sweet potato shoehorn face—it was confirmed to be the five-stone zombie Thanos!

Although opening the portal directly in his face was a coincidence, the reaction and expression of the five-stone zombie Thanos after the portal opened didn't look like he was unprepared.

He might have sensed that a portal would appear in front of him!

Even, he might have regained his sanity.

True sanity, not the kind that was just combat instinct.

When the portal closed, Su Quan noticed his gaze; although it was just a fleeting glance, that was definitely not a gaze a zombie should have.

……

PS: I suddenly feel that after Loki went online, the concepts of timelines and parallel universes became a bit muddled, not as clear as before—time is time, space is space.

For brothers who have the same confusion, let's keep it simple: just understand different timelines as different parallel universes; it's just a different way of saying it. ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
