Chapter 1112: Father and Son (49)

The look of shock on Kang the Conqueror's face gradually congealed. The stars of the universe began to rotate like the hands of a clock running backward, forming a dizzying, mesmerizing vortex. When the vortex dissipated, what appeared was the face of Helen, who had just parted ways with Loki.

After Loki exchanged a few low words with Helen, he headed toward the cell. Mobius hurriedly shoved Helen into the nearest office and then went off to dissuade Loki.

Consequently, no one noticed that Helen, who had already thoroughly explored the office, skillfully ran to the windowsill, opened the window, climbed onto the balcony, jumped down along the balcony, arrived at an office on the floor below, and lay against the window, peeking inside.

Seeing Ravonna's back as she turned to leave, Helen flashed a smile. Afterward, she climbed in through the window and, from the Judge's locked drawer, fished out a Time Controller.

Helen looked left and right, discovered no one was near her, and spat out several parts she had swallowed earlier. She then opened the cover of the reactor on her chest, pulled out two wires, connected them to the Time Controller, and began to clatter away, modifying the device.

Of course, Helen still couldn't manipulate the functions of such a miraculous tool, but she could bypass the security system so that when she activated the Time Controller, no one would notice.

And by the time Kang the Conqueror arrived at the cell door, Helen had already used the hacked Time Controller to traverse cosmic space and return to the Earth where Schiller was located.

The moment she landed, Helen rushed at top speed into the Arkham Asylum where Schiller was staying. She then expertly wove through the crowd, nearly knocking over the nurses and doctors passing by, and traveled through the clinic area and the inpatient department until she reached the director's office building.

Then, like a lightning bolt, she charged into Schiller's room. At this moment, Schiller was still sleeping.

Just as she burst into Schiller's room, Helen performed a full-speed sprint followed by a massive leap, landing directly on Schiller's bed. She then began to jump like it was a trampoline, performing over six hundred jumps in two minutes.

"Just waking up and still in a daze, Schiller's eyes couldn't even focus on Helen, who was nothing but a blur of afterimages. He took off his nightcap, covered his eyes, and said: '6, am I dreaming?'"

"'Dr. Schiller! Dr. Schiller! Dr. Schiller, wake up!! Wake up!! Hurry, hurry, hurry!! It's a ten-thousand-fire emergency!! Wake up!!!!'"

Helen shouted while bouncing. Schiller squinted for a long time before he finally caught sight of Helen's figure. He looked at her somewhat blankly and said: "Helen? What's wrong?... Did the helicopter engine arrive?"

"'What engine!' Helen finally stopped jumping. She stood at the foot of the bed, stretched out her two arms, gesturing incessantly, and shouted at Schiller: 'The Time Variance Authority... so, so many Time Controllers!! So, so many Infinity Stones!! And so, so many people! Wake up, Dr. Schiller! If we go late, they'll be gone!!!!'"

"What... what Time Variance Authority?" Schiller's brain was still in a state of system failure, but suddenly, he reacted to the second half of Helen's sentence. He regained a bit of his senses, stared at Helen, and said: "... So many stones, where are there so many stones?"

"'The Time Variance Authority!'" Helen jumped onto the pillar next to the head of the bed, held one hand high to gesture, and said: "'They have this many Infinity Stones in their warehouse, like a mountain!'"

Then, she desperately spread her arms and said: "'And this many big machines, all of which can be used to control time.'"

"'And then there are many, many Lokis, and many employees who work diligently, put in overtime conscientiously, and don't want any wages at all!!!! Xi9.'"

Schiller was completely awake now. He looked at Helen and said: "Employees who don't want wages?!! Where are they?! Do they have any plans to jump ship recently?!'"

"'No need to jump ship! Originally, their boss was locked outside this universe and couldn't come back, but unexpectedly, he suddenly returned. Wake up quickly, Dr. Schiller! If we're any later, the duck in our mouth is going to fly away!'"

Schiller immediately threw off the quilt and walked to the walk-in closet to change clothes. Helen ran to the door, "deng-deng-deng," and told Schiller about Loki's encounter at the Time Variance Authority at a rapid-fire pace.

Schiller walked out after changing his clothes. He bent down to pick up Helen and said: "So, it's all Kang the Conqueror's problem? Alright, let me think about how to rescue the Time Variance Authority from the evil Kang the Conqueror..."

"'The employees of the Time Variance Authority say that Kang the Conqueror is incredibly powerful, capable of infinite time regression and traversing time lines.'" Helen described it in an exaggerated tone.

But the next second, she was flicked on the forehead by Schiller. Schiller said: "Loki told you to tell me that, right? Did he say how much he wanted to split?"

Helen covered her head and let out an 'ow,' then flashed a slightly embarrassed smile and said: "'He doesn't want much, he just wants a few Infinity Stones. I want a few too, to string into a necklace; it would look pretty.'"

"Don't even think about it. Even if you ate the Infinity Stones, you wouldn't gain the stones' power. The stones are the manifestation of cosmic rules; you can't replicate that kind of ability." Schiller shook his head and said.

Helen pouted, looking a bit unhappy. However, Schiller carried her to the sofa, set her down, poured a glass of water, and said: "Kang the Conqueror isn't important, but the Time Variance Authority still has some value. How to maximize that value is what we should be considering."

"Loki has laid the groundwork well enough for the first half. At the very least, his favorability at the Time Variance Authority should be full; pulling the employees over won't be a problem. And his goal shouldn't be any Infinity Stones, but rather that group of Lokis within the Time Variance Authority..."

"I know he's always been troubled by the lack of civil servants in Asgard. Relying on that group of boorish Asgardian warriors to develop embroidery skills would be better spent catching some ready-made coolies."

"However, I'm not short on manpower, so I'll leave them to him. The machines at the Time Variance Authority should be given to Tony; he should be able to develop some new equipment."

"The Time Variance Authority's outposts in the multiverse should also be of some use. It's a pity the Spider-Men's base was built too early, otherwise, we could have picked up a ready-made one. Still, as a foothold for the Avengers in the multiverse, it's not bad."

"As for those Infinity Stones..." Schiller rubbed his chin and said: "They're just icing on the cake. Even Thanos doesn't look down on this stuff anymore."

"Alright, now let's think about how to solve Kang the Conqueror. Traversing time lines really is a troublesome ability."

Schiller's eyes rolled, and afterward, as if he had an idea, he revealed a wicked smile. He looked at Helen and said: "Come, I'll teach you what to do."

"You go back to the Time Variance Authority first, collude with Mobius, and have him ready to open a portal with the Time Controller at any time."

"Then, you transform into your monster form and chase that group of Lokis, letting Mobius continuously open portals to send them home."

"Remember, you must act fierce, as if you're about to eat them at any moment. You must make them call for help loudly, especially calling for help from Odin."

"If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to trick out a long spear. Then, you have to chase them and run through a few more universes, so that you can..."

"When the time is about right, I will send someone to meet you. Continue running in the direction he points; you should arrive at a temple."

"Remember, after passing through that hole, swallow all the Lokis, then turn around and return with them. At that time, I will immediately close the door and leave that group of long spears on the other side."

"The power of our universe and the power of the main universe are of the same origin. The long spears won't lose power, but without a target, they should automatically return to Odin's side."

"They cannot penetrate the barrier of the Great World, so naturally, they will gather together and scurry around like headless flies."

"Then, you go find Kang the Conqueror and drive him into the hole as well."

"At that time, we will be able to."

Schiller whispered a lot into Helen's ear, making Helen nod repeatedly. Along the way, she even added some supplements and improvements to Schiller's plan.

For example, she could use this opportunity to eat Alioth, and after swallowing those Lokis into her stomach, she could spit them directly into the jurisdiction of the Asgardian fleet, making it impossible for them to run away. If Frigga discovered she suddenly had so many little sons, she would be very happy.

After Helen left, Schiller made a phone call to Deadpool, spent a little money, and hired him to do one thing. Of course, this task was as simple as could be; he only needed to go hold a sign.

Schiller didn't let Deadpool use his belt, but because of the special nature of his belt, as long as Deadpool pointed in any direction, that direction would likely lead to the Temple of Eternity. Even if he pointed in the wrong direction, it didn't matter; Schiller could move the entrance of the hole.

After arranging everything, Schiller went back to catch up on sleep. He was woken up again by a nurse's knocking. After Schiller woke up, he went to change his clothes again and said: "Please come in."

A nurse stood by the door and said to Schiller: "Hello, Doctor, there is an unappointed guest who says he must see you. He says his name is Nathaniel Richards, and he is your friend and patient. Will you receive him?"

"Nathaniel Richards?" Hearing this strange name and familiar surname, Schiller froze for a moment, but afterward, he reacted. Wasn't this Kang the Conqueror's real name?

Schiller felt a bit puzzled. Could it be that Helen made a mistake while executing the plan, allowing Kang the Conqueror to find his way here?

But even if he found Earth, shouldn't he go find S. H. I. E. L. D. or the Avengers first? Why come find him?

Schiller thought for a moment and then said to the nurse: "Let him wait for me in the reception room; I'll be there immediately."

The nurse nodded and left. Schiller didn't make any other preparations, put on his coat, took his medical record book, and walked out of the bedroom door.

Arriving at the reception room, he discovered that, sure enough, there was a strange figure waiting in the room.

However, what made Schiller feel a bit strange was that this figure didn't have blue skin, but black skin. He wasn't wearing armor, but a suit, and he was holding a briefcase. He was also wearing glasses, looking like he had just gotten off work from Wall Street.

Just as Schiller walked in, this figure turned his head, a look of great joy appearing on his face. He walked up very enthusiastically, grabbed Schiller's hand, shook it vigorously, and said: "Great! Doctor, we meet again. Do you remember me? I'm Nathaniel!"

Looking at Schiller's somewhat puzzled expression, he slapped his forehead and said as if he had suddenly realized: "Oh, I almost forgot, at this time, you haven't met me yet."

"'K, let me introduce myself. My name is Nathaniel Richards. Of course, I have a more famous title, called Kang the Conqueror.'"

"'I come from the future. I am the Kang on the future timeline produced after a Kang the Conqueror with a bad brain came to this universe's Earth.'"

"'However, on this timeline, I received professional psychological treatment from you and even found a good job. But later, the timeline I was on was destroyed. Fortunately, I ran out ahead of time.'"

"'To tell you the truth, this must be the stupid thing that past me did. He actually destroyed that timeline before I won the Annual Sales Champion?!'"

"'I must make this ignorant idiot pay the price!'" ===== CHAPTER 1113 =====
