Chapter 146: Sacred Scripture Magic!

The surprise came too quickly, so quickly that Dr. Banner and the others hadn't even reacted.

Lin Yu twitched his lips, his head full of black lines: "You trust me that little?"

The Ancient One shook her head: "Not so, it's just that I had a change of thought and felt I couldn't really sit idly by, so I changed my mind."

Who are you lying to?

Lin Yu rolled his eyes, then said unhappily: "Using a villain's heart to measure a gentleman's belly. If I really wanted the Time Stone, it would be useless for you to lend it to them; I could just snatch it myself!"

"..."

The surprise on Tony and the others' faces instantly stiffened, and they turned to look at Lin Yu vigilantly.

The Ancient One was not surprised, smiling lightly: "Your Excellency, don't be angry. I was just joking. If you really intend to lend a helping hand, I am naturally willing to lend the Time Stone to them, but there is a condition."

Lin Yu's spirits lifted: "What condition?"

The Ancient One said solemnly: "Find someone to witness."

Lin Yu said without hesitation: "No problem, who do you want to find?"

A smile appeared on the Ancient One's face: "A mage who has a good relationship with you."

Lin Yu was slightly startled, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

The next second, rays of white light flew out from the Eye of Agamotto on the Ancient One's chest, weaving into the figure of the Ancient One (Bai Huzi) in mid-air.

"We meet again, Your Excellency Lin Yu!"

"... I knew it!"

Looking at the smiling white-bearded old man, Lin Yu's face darkened, and he said unhappily: "How come you are everywhere?!"

The Ancient One (Bai Huzi) laughed: "Accident, just an accident!"

"You also know that at my level, few people can sit and discuss the Dao with me. As the saying goes, Dharma, Wealth, Companions, and Land—I lack neither Dharma, Wealth, nor Land, but I am quite troubled by the word 'Companion'."

"So, every time I arrive at a parallel universe, I habitually chat with myself for a few words before leaving..."

Lin Yu said with a dark face: "Is this the reason you hid in the Eye of Agamotto?"

The Ancient One (Bai Huzi) coughed twice: "I didn't want to disturb you!"

You were worried about being discovered by me!

Lin Yu rolled his eyes and simply laid his cards on the table: "Alright, for your sake, I will return the Time Stone to Kamar-Taj, but the Mind Stone and Space Stone..."

The Ancient One (Bai Huzi) said without hesitation: "They all belong to you!"

The two quickly reached a consensus, which left Tony and the three others stunned.

Even the female version of the Ancient One couldn't help but have her face darken, thinking that this guy really intended to keep the Time Stone.

Fortunately, the version of herself next door had guarded against this and hadn't really left, otherwise she would have had to harden her heart and sit idly by while the future universe fell into crisis in order to protect the Time Stone.

"..."

Tony and the three looked at each other and said cautiously: "That, Your Excellency, are you going back with us?"

Lin Yu glanced at them: "Why, not satisfied with having strong reinforcements?"

Dr. Banner laughed dryly: "That's not it..."

Lin Yu laughed: "Don't worry, your world has already become a parallel universe and won't be affected by me. What's more, if I don't go back with you, who will snap this finger?"

"..."

Tony and the three looked at each other; this was indeed a problem.

Dr. Banner hesitated for a moment and raised his hand: "I..."

Lin Yu said without hesitation: "You can't; at least the current you cannot bear it, unless you split Hulk's personality and let him take charge of this body for you."

"I can do this kind of thing, but... are you sure you want to entrust the future to Hulk?"

Steve and Tony looked at each other and decisively reached out their hands: "I represent the future universe and thank Your Excellency for your help!"

Lin Yu smiled and shook Captain America's hand: "Easy, easy!"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the Hulk's body lying on the ground instantly flew up, merging with Dr. Banner's soul.

After doing all this, Lin Yu immediately turned around and looked at the two Ancient Ones impatiently.

Although the Ancient One (Bai Huzi) had spent a short time with Lin Yu, he understood Lin Yu's personality better than the female version of the Ancient One.

Seeing Lin Yu cast his gaze, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, the future universe needs!"

"No problem!"

Lin Yu agreed decisively, then flashed his figure and vanished from the rooftop of the New York Sanctum.

Seeing this scene, Tony and the three looked at each other and couldn't help but say: "Where did he go?"

The Ancient One (Bai Huzi) laughed: "Naturally, to end the Battle of New York!"

The three looked at each other: "Then what about us, are we just waiting here?"

The Ancient One (Bai Huzi) reminded: "Are there enough Pym Particles?"

The three were startled upon hearing this, only then realizing the seriousness of the problem.

In the future timeline, Dr. Hank Pym died in Thanos's Snap, and the remaining Pym Particles were only enough for the Avengers to make one round trip; there was indeed no share for Lin Yu.

"Don't worry!"

The Ancient One (Bai Huzi) seemed to be able to see through their hearts and comforted them: "Although Dr. Pym of the future is dead, the one of the present is still alive and well!"

"What's more coincidental is that his wife is lost in the Quantum Realm and is in need of your positioning technology."

"As long as you save his wife, you will naturally have an endless supply of Pym Particles!"

Hearing the Ancient One (Bai Huzi)'s words, everyone felt as if they had been enlightened and suddenly understood.

Steve and Dr. Banner revealed gratitude and decided to take this opportunity to visit Dr. Pym.

As the saying goes, help people to the end, send Buddha to the west. Seeing that they had already made a decision, the Ancient One (Bai Huzi) waved his hand and directly opened a golden spark portal.

Before stepping into the portal, Dr. Banner paused, his gaze sweeping over Steve and Tony, and he asked suspiciously:

"Wait, is someone missing—where is Scott?"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, only then remembering Scott, who had been forgotten in the alley.

The scorching white light diffused silently in the vacuum, forming rays of white ripples, like the legendary power of erasure, annihilating all matter and life it passed over.

A powerful skill that could become a protagonist's late-stage ultimate move was just a normal "flat A" (basic attack) in Lin Yu's hands.

His figure flashed, flashing forward ten miles at a step, throwing the incandescent Golden Crow in his hand leisurely, continuously destroying patches of star regions where the Chitauri legion existed.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu crossed over a thousand kilometers, arriving in front of that black mothership.

He originally thought Lin Yu would be dissatisfied with his behavior, but he didn't expect Lin Yu to just glance at him, then smile with a smile that wasn't quite a smile:

"Can you hear clearly?"

"..."

The Ancient One (Bai Huzi) raised his eyebrows and then fell silent.

Indeed, when he eavesdropped on the group members' inner thoughts, there would always be situations similar to a bad signal, causing a large number of keywords to be inexplicably hidden, and he could only hear some harmless things.

For example, the topic of whether they should go to the future universe that they discussed at the beginning...

The Ancient One (Bai Huzi) originally thought this was the mental protection Lin Yu had cast on them, but looking at his expression, it didn't seem to be the case.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough, the group members' hearts would be protected by the chat group; even this perverted version of the Ancient One could not spy on the content in the chat group through the group members!

Not long after, the Future Avengers finally successfully rescued Dr. Pym's wife and were very lucky to avoid the virus, not following the path of the zombie universe next door.

Finally seeing the wife he had been longing for, Dr. Pym was immensely grateful, not only generously taking out Pym Particles but also incidentally gifting the quantum tunnel device he had built to rescue his wife to everyone.

And after the device and Pym Particles were in hand, a golden spark portal appeared at the right time, picking them up to the New York Sanctum.

For such foreknowledge behavior of the Ancient One (Bai Huzi), the Future Avengers were already accustomed to it; they even felt immensely envious that the neighboring universe had such a Sorcerer Supreme.

If their Sorcerer Supreme could also have this kind of strength, how could Thanos have collected all six stones?

However, when they turned their heads and saw Lin Yu and the five group members beside him, the originally envious expressions instantly stiffened, and they asked with full-faced black lines:

"Wait, how many people are there exactly?"

"Counting me, a total of six."

"Too many!"

Steve shook his head, placed two uniforms on the table, and looked at Lin Yu and the others: "We borrowed the time travel suits used by Dr. Pym himself, but unfortunately, even counting the spare uniforms, he only has two sets in his hand."

"In other words, we can bring at most two people back with us."

"Except for Your Excellency Lin Yu, decide the remaining candidates yourselves!"

Can only bring two people?

The group members looked at each other, then cast their gazes toward Lin Lie in unison.

This was also very normal; after all, the other group members were just going to join in the fun, only Lin Lie had a purpose.

Without hesitation, Lin Lie stepped forward: "I'll go!"

Sure enough!

Steve and Tony looked at each other, and smiles couldn't help but appear on their faces.

In their memories, Lin Lie had an excellent relationship with the Avengers and had participated in world-class Avengers events several times; he was a friend and comrade-in-arms they could trust.

Letting Lin Lie be the second candidate was also what they most wanted to see!

"I knew it would be you!"

Tony patted Lin Lie's shoulder happily and whispered: "You don't have a lightsaber yet, right? It just so happens I have one added to a set of Iron Man armor. After this matter is over, I'll make the decision to give it to you!"

"Oh?"

Lin Lie's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt that his trip had not been in vain.

After choosing the people, Tony and Scott immediately got busy.

After debugging the device, everyone stood in front of the quantum tunnel and looked at each other.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Then start... three, two, one!"
