Have you truly never heard this name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Yu… you’re also surnamed Lin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony frowned in thought, then said slowly: “I do know Lin Lie has an older brother, but his name should be Lin Feng. As for Lin Yu—I’ve never heard of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu mused: “What about Su Haoming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony and Captain America exchanged glances, then shook their heads: “Never heard of him either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu nodded: “Then that’s very interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, he swept the two into a mirror space, vanishing from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the alley, the Ant-Man, just recovering, climbed to his feet, shook his head, and stared at the empty, deserted alley around him, eyes wide in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, I haven’t even gotten on the vehicle yet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lin Yu appeared with the two on the rooftop of a building in the neighboring district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead on the rooftop, a young man stood atop a swirling vortex, unleashing waves of wind-based spells; alongside Iron Man, he slashed a twenty-meter-high wind blade into the neck of a Leviathan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squelch—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, foul-smelling blood and murky yellow fluid sprayed outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundred-meter-long Leviathan let out a deep, prolonged cry of agony, then crashed heavily toward the district below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous crash erupted; dust and debris rose, obscuring the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu waved his hand, summoning a gale that cleared the dust from the real world through the mirror space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you see that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The man fighting beside you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu glanced at Tony, stunned, and said: “That’s Su Haoming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony snapped back to reality, his face grim: “But I have no memory of this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain America also realized it, frowning tightly: “Neither do I!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—this New York battle had deviated too drastically from his recollection; everything felt alien.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those group-chat members slaughtering the Leviathans—he’d never seen any of them before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Wait, the only Chinese reinforcements in this battle should’ve been Lin Lie and Ji Shuangshuang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Where the hell did these people come from?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony’s mind brimmed with questions; he couldn’t help turning to look at Lin Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this man—mysterious, powerful, his oppressive aura rivaling that of Thanos wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful being would never have stayed hidden during Thanos’s invasion of Earth—why did he have no recollection of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu looked at the two: “Let me ask again: are you absolutely certain… you’ve merely traveled through time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony and Captain America fell silent, then slowly replied: “Theoretically, yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu shook his head: “Theory can still be wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony declared firmly: “But mine won’t be!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, intending to tease him for being overconfident—but then remembered this was Iron Man, the Marvel movie lead, whose mind supposedly housed the Mind Stone—so he changed his tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My research in the time domain isn’t deep enough to give you a definitive answer. Since you’re so certain, why not come with me to meet an expert in time? Let her examine you—how about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony and Captain America both froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the world before them shifted again; the concrete ground beneath their feet became the rooftop of an ancient building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bald woman in yellow robes stood on the rooftop, beside her lay the Hulk in oversized shorts, and beside him—Bruce Banner, whom they hadn’t seen in ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Banner’s translucent soul hovered in midair, anxiously explaining something to Master Wong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Master Wong paid him no heed; instead, as if sensing something, she turned her head toward Lin Yu and the two future avengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Lin Yu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Wong nodded to Lin Yu, as if his appearance was no surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner’s soul, seeing Tony and Steve, showed clear astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tony, Steve, what are you doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bruce, long time no see~” Tony greeted, marveling, “Since you made peace with the Hulk, I haven’t seen this face in ages—last time was probably a year ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tony!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve frowned, speaking gravely: “This isn’t the time for jokes—explain what’s going on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner’s soul gave a bitter smile, glanced at Master Wong on the rooftop, then recounted everything that had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was their own fault for insufficient research—they assumed Doctor Strange had been the Sorcerer Supreme seven years ago, when in fact he’d only trained in magic for two years; seven years ago, he was still a famous neurosurgeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner rushed to the New York Sanctum without warning, couldn’t find Doctor Strange, and only saw an ordinary bald woman in yellow robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that woman wore the Time Stone around her neck—the very artifact they’d been seeking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Banner failed to obtain it, he panicked and tried to seize it—only to be struck square in the chest by Master Wong, who used Astral Projection to separate his body from his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing physical force was useless and he’d been instantly defeated, Banner, shocked but pragmatic, immediately surrendered and began earnestly reasoning with Master Wong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could convince her, Lin Yu arrived with the two others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… this woman is the expert you mentioned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony turned to Lin Yu and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu nodded: “Exactly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Master Wong: “These three claim to come from seven years in the future, but something feels off. Could you examine them? Determine whether they’re from the future—or a parallel universe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to examine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Wong shook her head: “They truly come from the future… a future without you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: “Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony couldn’t help asking: “What does that mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Wong glanced at him: “Simple. Lord Lin Yu has transcended time—or rather, transcended the time of this world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the most scientific terms you believe in: His existence is a unified spacetime entity. Time only flows through Him when He interacts with reality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Conversely, whenever you encounter Him in this world, past and future are simultaneously altered, leaving only the present Lin Yu on the entire river of time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if your future once bore traces of Him, those traces have been erased, causing all related individuals—and indeed the entire universe—to forget every single event tied to Him…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony and the others’ pupils dilated violently, unable to believe Master Wong’s explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world contained such a terrifying existence—one time itself could not affect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Master Wong’s words, Lin Yu fell into thought, recalling his experience in *X-Men: Days of Future Past*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Kitty Pryde sent Wolverine’s consciousness back in time, altering history to reverse the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very moment the future was reversed, Lin Yu had sensed a universal correction force sweeping across the cosmos—and he alone was untouched by that reversal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Master Wong’s logic, even if Tony and the others truly came from the future, the instant they traveled to now, their future had already been altered by a similar correction force…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now do you understand why I refused to give you the Time Stone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Wong turned to Banner’s soul, speaking coolly: “From the moment you disrupted the timeline, your future became a parallel universe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony and Banner exchanged glances, falling silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Wong said calmly: “Protecting the Time Stone is the Sorcerer Supreme’s duty. I cannot risk destroying my own reality to save yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner couldn’t help asking: “Then why did Strange give the Stone to Thanos?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Wong paused, frowning: “Voluntarily?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner and Tony exchanged glances and nodded vigorously: “Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Wong fell into thought, then shook her head and sighed: “I’m sorry, Doctor Banner, but I still don’t trust you. Strange is truly our most gifted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet even he cannot see futures altered by Lord Lin Yu’s interference…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve frowned: “But you just said our future has no Lord Lin Yu in it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony shook his head: “The Sorcerer Supreme means our future became a parallel universe *because* of Lord Lin Yu’s interference. She can’t be sure whether Strange considered that factor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banner couldn’t help asking: “Is our future truly beyond saving?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu, who had been watching the scene with keen interest, immediately raised his hand: “I have an idea!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone perked up, turning to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled: “Master Wong, you’re worried the Time Stone won’t return, right? Easy—I’ll hold onto it for you. I’m quite interested in this future universe and plan to visit it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You want me to give you the Time Stone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Wong’s face darkened—could it be that giving the Time Stone to Lin Yu was the very future she dreaded most, even more than lending it to a parallel universe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the former might still be recovered, but the latter is like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone for good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, she turned to Dr. Banner and said, “What did you just say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… you wanted to borrow the Time Stone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1590,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","95370c4a3a19b723ae2e08eb2daddaea58db9fb3396fea6dbf4b51625178bf37","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-146","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-144",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
