Upon hearing Stephen’s words, Lin Rui’s brows furrowed instantly.
After carefully inquiring about Stephen’s recent sensations, Lin Rui, upon confirming that Ego hadn’t completely perished, surprisingly didn’t react with much shock. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, as it indicated that his premonition over the past three days had been accurate.
Although Ego hadn’t died, it was evident that he had suffered a significant blow and wouldn’t be a major threat in the near future.
Furthermore…
Contemplating the potential follow-up regarding Ego, Lin Rui then turned to Stephen and said, “Thank you, Stephen. I’ll send you back to the academy now.”
After Ego’s “progeny” had attempted to consume Stephen’s consciousness, the young mutant had recovered somewhat, and there was no immediate danger.
Since Ego had retreated in the wake of his injuries, these “progeny” had only exhibited basic responses akin to fetal movements under external influence, which wouldn’t have caused significant harm to someone like Stephen, who possessed mutant abilities.
Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Stephen no longer displayed the fear he had just experienced but rather a curiosity about the object inside the glass container.
“Phantom Knight, perhaps… you can allow me to visit here frequently. I want to continue researching this… this thing.” For the first time, Stephen had felt such a strong spiritual fluctuation from what appeared to be a lifeform, and he was eager to explore it further.
Unfortunately, for Stephen’s safety and in accordance with his promise to Professor X to safely return Stephen to the school, Lin Rui had to decline Stephen’s request.
“Stephen, this thing isn’t something you can research at the moment. Maybe, when you can better control and develop your abilities, and when the time is right to study it, I’ll actively seek your assistance.”
Although Lin Rui refused Stephen’s request, he left room for future possibilities. Stephen’s mutated abilities did have significant room for improvement, and perhaps one day, he could truly control Ego’s “progeny.”
“All right… I’ll work hard. I just don’t know when that day will come.” With a hint of disappointment that he couldn’t hide, Stephen’s tone was slightly downcast.
“Let’s go. The purpose of your visit has been achieved. I’ll send you back to the academy.”
Humming…
With that, Lin Rui took out the Magic Cube, and in a blink of blue light, a portal appeared, swiftly enveloping Stephen.
Swish!
As Stephen departed from the base, Lin Rui also sent a message to Professor X, informing him that he had safely returned his student, unharmed.
After seeing Stephen off, Lin Rui didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he strolled through the base.
In addition to storing Ego’s “progeny,” this base also contained a portion of tissue obtained from Venom’s kin, similarly sealed in a specially made glass container in the adjacent room.
After briefly observing this alien lifeform that was even more powerful than Venom, Lin Rui proceeded to another room.
Here, stored away were some special items not found on Earth, along with some “treasures” sent by Star-Lord and Yondu from the universe.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
“Ego and the Sovereign race don’t need to be a major concern for now. While Ego may not be dead, it might not be a bad thing for Star-Lord. I’ll send him a message later to check if there have been any recent changes in his condition.”
“Venom has been cooperating with Tony recently, constantly conducting experiments. Perhaps we can actually create a Venom-class battlesuit using the technology from its own kin. However, I wonder if such a style would be well-received.”
“Then there’s nanotechnology. With the support of Wakanda’s technology, this is the aspect where we’ve made the most breakthroughs. Coupled with energy-absorbing and deflecting materials, the combat capabilities of Iron Man’s forces will be invincible…”
“As for Bucky, I wonder how he’s getting along with Steve. The core technology of Ant-Man is still in the hands of the previous generation, Hank Pym. If we can bring them on board, Earth’s alliance and the League of Defenders’ technological capabilities will reach their peak.”
Strolling through the vast, cold base, Lin Rui contemplated the future of his allies and Earth.
Under Lin Rui’s continuous interventions, the course of events in this world had already deviated significantly from what he remembered. However, this was the result that Lin Rui had hoped for.
As a world plagued by numerous disasters, Lin Rui didn’t wish for high casualties every time a major event occurred. He had developed deep feelings for this world and, in its continuous growth, wanted to counteract the forces of convergence.
“Perhaps Earth should take the initiative?” Walking to the end of a corridor, Lin Rui suddenly had this thought.
Now that he had established connections with Asgard and Star-Lord’s group, Earth’s major powers didn’t necessarily have to remain confined to a single planet anymore.
After all, most future threats would originate from the vast expanse of the universe. Perhaps taking proactive measures was the best way to go.
Despite Earth’s somewhat skewed technological progression, some cutting-edge technologies were on par with those of advanced civilizations in the universe. If Earth could indeed assemble a fleet capable of traversing the cosmos, there was a possibility of preemptively neutralizing future threats.
“Let’s think about it some more. The current priority for Earth is to strengthen unity among all the major powers… sigh…”
Humming…
With a blink of blue light, Lin Rui’s figure vanished from this desolate base.
—
While various major powers and superheroes were shining brightly on Earth, in a remote town of a small country far from developed nations and bustling cities, a pair of siblings led a relatively ordinary life.
Swish!
A silver blur shot through the entire small town at speeds beyond what normal eyes could perceive, then disappeared into an ordinary building facing the street.
“Wanda! They just opened a new supermarket in the neighboring town, so I bought some snacks you like on the way back.” At the top floor of this building, a handsome figure appeared, accompanied by cheerful words.
“Pietro! I’ve told you before, don’t be so conspicuous. Don’t you know what this world has become? There are so-called superheroes everywhere!” When the handsome figure tossed himself onto the sofa in the living room, a beautiful girl emerged from the bedroom, furrowing her brows as she looked at her brother and issued a warning.
“Relax, sis. With my speed, surveillance cameras can’t even catch me!” Unfazed by his sister’s reminder, Quicksilver Pietro waved his hand nonchalantly.
Seeing that her brother remained so indifferent, Wanda couldn’t contain her frustration and simply waved her hand.
Humming!
Quicksilver, who was lying on the sofa unpacking the snacks, sensed something and prepared to disappear, but it was too late. A semi-transparent red energy spread over him, instantly immobilizing Quicksilver.
Swish!
Subsequently, Wanda raised her hand slightly, and Quicksilver was thrown up to the ceiling.
“Wanda! Put me down!” Unable to move at his lightning-fast speed, Quicksilver could only shout in frustration.
Swish!
To prevent Quicksilver from continuing to shout, Wanda had no choice but to reluctantly retract her power.
“I know that you’re incredibly fast, but the world is changing too quickly now. Those superheroes out there might have even more unknown abilities. If you end up being targeted by one of them, there’s nothing I can do to save you.”
Watching as Quicksilver returned to the sofa in an instant, Wanda continued to caution him.
“I get it! Geez! I mean… Wanda, how about we become superheroes too? What kind of life are we living day by day?”
