Dreamlike Bubble

Besides Ant-Man’s family, the dungeon also held the towering Dr. Banner, an angry-looking Falcon, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, War Machine Rhodey, and Asgardian Valkyrie.

Future Time-Space was the movie universe. It had no street heroes like Jessica or Daredevil, and Quake did not exist in this time-space either.

"Dr. Pym, your temper is just like my father said—so foul you don’t have a single friend."

Old Tony said, "All right. As the president, I’m very busy and don’t have time to waste on you, so let’s keep this brief."

Rhodey cursed, "The president? Tony, not only are you a bastard, you’re a traitor who stole the country. The biggest regret of my life was becoming friends with you."

"Rhodey, I thought you would support me."

Rhodey’s words made Old Tony fall silent for a moment. He sighed and said, "Once my plan succeeds, Earth will become a paradise on earth. Wasn’t protecting Earth always your dream?"

"Protecting Earth is indeed my dream, but not this way. Tony Stark, you used nuclear weapons to threaten America. No American soldier would ever obey you."

Rhodey shouted, "And besides, I made the wrong choice once before. I won’t make the wrong choice again."

"Sorry, but you made the wrong choice again this time."

Old Tony shook his head and said, "I originally intended to persuade you slowly, but because of some unexpected developments, I’ve decided to deal with you tonight. This is your last chance to surrender. If you refuse, I’ll send you to see Steve."

"You bastard! You actually killed Captain! Tony Stark, don’t let me out, or I’ll never let you off!"

Falcon and Winter Soldier slammed the bars and roared. Both were Captain’s most loyal supporters.

Hawkeye also shouted, "Tony, I’m deeply disappointed in you."

"I’m not disappointed in myself at all."

Old Tony glanced at Hawkeye and asked again, "I’ll ask one last time. Does anyone want to surrender?"

"Tony, you’ve changed. We will never surrender."

Dr. Banner shook his head. "I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but you will definitely fail, because Blood God will not let you off. He’ll arrive soon and suppress you."

Old Tony said coldly, "He’s already here, but even he is no match for me. With Materialism Power and my intelligence, I am invincible."

"Even Blood God isn’t your match?"

Everyone was stunned. At that moment, Valkyrie shouted, "Iron Man, what did you do to my people?"

"Nothing. Loki will take over Asgard, and once the time is right, she will rebuild your palace."

Old Tony said, "Earth does not welcome aliens."

Valkyrie shouted, "Thor will not let you get away with this."

"Loki is waiting for him to return."

Old Tony pulled out the Time Rod from behind his waist and said, "Since no one is surrendering, I’ll send you on your way."

With that, Old Tony walked over to Rhodey and said with a complicated look, "Take care, my friend."

Rhodey snorted. "You’re not my friend."

Old Tony said nothing more and pointed the rod toward Rhodey’s chest. At that moment, Rhodey vanished like a phantom. Old Tony’s expression changed, and he hurriedly looked at the others, only to find that they were vanishing as well. Ant-Man even gave Old Tony the middle finger.

In the blink of an eye, every prisoner in the dungeon had disappeared.

Old Tony hurriedly asked Ultron, "How did this happen? Ultron, did you detect any spatial fluctuations?"

Ultron’s voice came from the speakers. "Mr. Stark, no spatial fluctuations were detected."

"Damn it, Blood God was probably behind this."

Old Tony’s face darkened. He gritted his teeth and thought, I have to find a way to deal with Blood God, and soon. He is the greatest obstacle to my paradise on earth.

Blood God was a reliable and reassuring ally, but when Blood God became an enemy, he was the most terrifying nightmare imaginable.

In Wakanda, Dr. Banner and the others appeared one after another like dreamlike bubbles. They found it incredible. Although Wang Bert had contacted them beforehand, they had never expected to escape prison this way.

Dr. Pym asked curiously, "Blood God, what is the principle behind this? This clearly wasn’t spatial teleportation. Spatial teleportation could not have escaped Iron Man’s detection."

Dr. Banner smiled. "Blood God, long time no see. Your magic is completely unscientific."

"Big guy."

Wang Bert smiled and said, "This was mind magic: Dreamlike Bubble."

Everyone was surprised. "Mind magic?"

"That’s right. Earlier, I turned you into Mental Projections, then took you through the Mind Sea and returned here."

Wang Bert said, "The Mind Sea is the sea of consciousness of all living beings."

"You were actually able to take everyone safely through the Mind Sea?"

Strange exclaimed, "Under normal circumstances, there is only one outcome for entering the Mind Sea: being assimilated by countless minds and becoming a drop of seawater."

The others did not understand how incredible that was, but as the Sorcerer Supreme, how could Strange not know? Ant-Man asked in astonishment, "So we almost became drops of seawater?"

"Don’t worry. The Mind Sea is a stormy, deadly place for others, but to me, it’s no different from a small pond."

Wang Bert smiled. He possessed the complete Mind Concept, so traveling through the Mind Sea could not have been easier—although he mostly used Mind Power to smash people, he was also proficient in all kinds of secret mind arts.

"Bert, if you’re so skilled with Mind Power, why not directly control Iron Man?"

Strange thought of something and asked, "His Materialism Power needs to be activated before he can use it."

"I tried, but it didn’t work. That triangular pyramid automatically protects its owner."

Wang Bert shook his head. "The Infinity Stones on Loki have the same function. Otherwise, they would have knelt long ago."

Strange sighed. "That’s such a shame."

"It is a little unfortunate, but it’s not a major problem. Sooner or later, we’ll defeat them."

Wang Bert clapped his hands. "Everyone, Old Tony is preparing to attack Wakanda. I hope you can stay here and help."

"No problem."

Everyone nodded. Helping Wakanda meant helping themselves. Dr. Banner said, "I’ll take down that bastard Tony. He has really made me angry. Very angry."

Falcon and Winter Soldier said in unison, "Not take him down. I want to kill him."

"Please add ‘Old’ before Tony, thank you."

Tony walked in from outside. Looking at everyone, he said happily, "Wow, Bert, you really gave me a huge surprise. Dr. Banner, Dr. Pym, I need your help. I want to build an Anti-Iron Man Armor and beat Old Tony into a pig-headed mess."

Wang Bert said irritably, "I told you, give up that damned name. No armor with a name like that ever ends well."

Tony snorted and could not be bothered to respond to Wang Bert. Tony Stark was a scientist, not a mystic.

Seeing Tony suddenly appear, everyone could not help being startled. They soon realized that this was Tony from another universe. He was younger and more energetic.

Dr. Pym shouted, "I will not work with you. Seeing that face of yours makes me sick. More importantly, everyone in the Stark Family is a thief and a liar."

Compared to Dr. Pym, Dr. Banner was much friendlier. He hugged Tony and said, "I’ll help you, as long as you aren’t building Ultron."

"Don’t worry, I won’t build Ultron."

Tony smiled. "Dr. Pym, I have Pym Particles over there. Would you like to take a look?"

Dr. Pym asked in shock, "That’s impossible. Where did you get Pym Particles?"

"You sold them."

Tony smiled, then led Dr. Banner toward the factory. Dr. Pym hesitated for a moment before following with Old Wasp—he would not allow anyone to ruin his Pym Particles.

At that moment, Wang Bert remembered something and called out to Dr. Banner, "Banner, wait. This potion is for you."

Dr. Banner turned around and caught the green potion. He asked curiously, "Blood God, what kind of potion is this?"

"A Rage Potion. Banner asked me to pass it on to you."

Wang Bert said, "It can make you truly angry. Hulk needs anger. Without anger, Hulk is just a weak chicken. Uh, those were his exact words."

"I can tell."

Dr. Banner held the potion and said, "I’ll save it for Iron Man."

Tony rolled his eyes. He had to deal with Old Tony quickly, or he would sooner or later be dragged down by him.

"All right, everyone, go rest first. The battle will arrive soon. Natasha, help arrange things for them."

Wang Bert said to the group, "Valkyrie, stay behind. I have something to discuss with you."

"All right."

Everyone nodded. After being locked up for so long, they really did need some rest. Besides, Old Tony’s descent into darkness had come too suddenly. They needed time to calm down.

Soon, only Valkyrie and Wang Bert remained in the room. Valkyrie asked, "Blood God, what is it?"

"Thor will be back soon, and Loki will definitely go after him. I’m planning to join forces with Thor to deal with Loki."

Wang Bert said, "To contact Thor, I need an item that he carried with him for a long time."

"Deal with Loki? I like that. Ever since that guy turned into a woman, she has become even more disgusting than before."

Valkyrie’s eyes lit up at first, then she asked in confusion, "Why do you need one of Thor’s personal belongings? Can’t we contact him directly? I remember the Guardians of the Galaxy have a Quantum Communication system."

"I asked Nick Fury about that. He said their Quantum Communication system is immature and often fails to connect."

Wang Bert shook his head. "It’s the same this time. Fortunately, they can still send signals. Nick Fury sent out the highest emergency signal. Once the Guardians of the Galaxy see it, they’ll return as quickly as possible.

"Captain Marvel’s side is in a similar situation. Quantum Communication is still too much for them."

"I see."

Valkyrie suddenly understood. She then asked, "Do you need Thor’s belongings for divination?"

"No, to determine Thor’s location."

Wang Bert said, "I plan to enter the Mind Sea to search for Thor. The Mind Sea is where the consciousness of every living being in the universe gathers. I need a reference object to lock onto Thor’s mind. An item carried for a long time will bear its owner’s aura and spirit."

Thor was too far away. Otherwise, none of this would be necessary.

"Understood."

Valkyrie nodded and said, "For the past five years, Thor has stayed in his house playing games. His chair and game console should meet your requirements, but Iron Man’s robots have sealed off our village."

Wang Bert smiled. "That’s not a problem. Do you have any photos or videos of Thor’s house?"

"Of course. Give me a phone, and I’ll log into my account and send them to you."

Valkyrie nodded. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Blood God, can you help me rescue the people of Asgard?"

"Valkyrie."

Wang Bert took out a phone and handed it to Valkyrie, then continued, "Loki may be a bastard, but she will not harm the people of Asgard. They are safer staying in the village.

"If we bring them to Wakanda, they will face war—a war against the Iron Legion."

Valkyrie shouted, "Asgardians have never feared war."

Another group of stubborn fools.

Wang Bert secretly shook his head and said, "I know. The problem is, how many Asgardians are left? Valkyrie, aren’t you afraid Asgard will be wiped out because of this?"

Valkyrie fell silent. Asgard had suffered Hela’s disaster, then Thanos slaughtered half its people. Its remaining population was now below ten thousand, and it simply could not bear the losses of another war.

Asgardians reproduced with great difficulty. That was a common problem among long-lived races.

"Valkyrie, you are no longer a general. You are a Queen. You cannot have nothing but war in your head."

Wang Bert said. Before Thor left Earth, he had handed the throne to Valkyrie. She was now the Queen of Asgard—well, basically the chief of a village.

"Being a Queen is too hard. I think Thor set me up."

Valkyrie sighed, found a photo, and said, "This is Thor’s house."

Wang Bert nodded. He made a circle with his hand, and a spatial portal appeared. He then reached through it and pulled out a game controller.

Valkyrie said with feeling, "Even though it isn’t my first time seeing it, Kamar-Taj’s spells really are amazing."

"Of course Space Magic is amazing."

Wang Bert smiled. At that moment, two robots rushed into the house on the other side of the portal. Wang Bert gave them the middle finger and closed the portal.

When the robots saw the portal close, they immediately reported the matter to Old Tony—there were devices in the village that monitored spatial fluctuations.

After receiving the report, Old Tony asked Loki in confusion, "Loki, why did the people from Kamar-Taj take Thor’s things?"

"They were probably planning to use magic to contact Thor."

Loki thought for a moment and said, "They must have guessed that we would make a move against Thor."

"Is that so?"

Old Tony snorted. "Even if they are prepared, they still cannot stop us. This is the perfect chance to wipe them all out in one go."

"It is indeed a good opportunity."

Loki asked, "By the way, have you analyzed Blood God’s abilities? He actually rescued Banner and the others right under your nose. His abilities are really strange."

"I have. It was Mind Power."

Old Tony said, "This Blood God avatar possesses Mind Power and Space Power. He’s very troublesome, but fortunately, the Mind Stone can restrain him. I’ll design an instrument that can detect and interfere with Mind Power. What happened tonight will never happen again."

What was Tony Stark’s greatest strength? His intelligence! "That’s good. Now all we have to do is wait for that fat bastard Thor to come back."

Loki gritted her teeth. That fat bastard actually wanted to marry her. How could she swallow this anger without beating him up?
