Looking at the Soul Gem in his hand and Emily who brought it back, Dio didn't know what to say to comfort this woman who had lost her beloved.
Now, she really has nothing. Her family, friends, children... and her husband have all left her.
She didn't collapse on the spot, it was just the obsession in her heart that was playing tricks on her.
Her husband's words before he jumped off the cliff seemed to still echo in her ears...
So she wanted to witness it all with her own eyes!
If nothing can be changed, then she... has no meaning to continue living.
Dio sighed and looked up at the sky.
Now he has done everything he can and successfully obtained the Soul Gem, but he doesn't know whether others are doing well.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
New York, 2012.
On the rooftop of the Supreme Sanctuary, Master Ancient One was standing with one hand behind his back, leisurely clearing out the Chitauri soldiers who had accidentally entered the place.
At this moment, a green figure suddenly fell from the sky, then walked to the door stealthily, peeked once, and prepared to go in.
"Be careful walking there, the floor has just been waxed."
Hulk was stunned. It was the first time he met the Ancient One. "I'm here to see Doctor Strange."
After hearing this, Ancient One subconsciously raised his eyebrows, "You are probably five years too early. Strange is currently performing surgery twenty blocks away, so... what are you looking for him for?"
Strange was the one that Ancient One had chosen long ago to be the next Sorcerer Supreme, and even the time had been decided exactly.
If Dio were here to hear what Ancient One said, he would definitely feel very fortunate.
He knew that Ancient One had been paying attention to Strange a long time ago. If he had been unable to control himself and twisted the foul-mouthed and arrogant Strange into a knot, Ancient One would probably have run over and fought him to the death on the spot.
At this time, Hulk finally noticed the Eye of Agamotto that the Ancient One was wearing, pointed at it and said, "It's for that thing."
"Ah," Ancient One suddenly realized, "I'm afraid not!"
"I'm sorry, but I don't plan to discuss this with you."
Hulk said casually as he walked towards Ancient One.
Obviously after the fusion, Hulk's power gave Banner the capital to ignore many people, and even at this time he still had a faint pretentious smile on his face.
But this time he obviously picked the wrong opponent. When you don't know the enemy's background, it's easy to act cool and end up being stupid!
"You will regret it." Ancient One calmly gave Hulk a second chance to choose.
But Hulk didn't appreciate it...
"You're right, I might regret it, but I need that rough stone, and I don't have time to waste it here."
Before he finished speaking, Hulk had already walked in front of Ancient One, and then in an instant, Ancient One slapped Hulk's chest with a palm as powerful as thunder!
With Hulk's ability to withstand blows, even if the missile hit him head-on, it would only cause him a little pain at most.
But this seemingly insignificant palm from Ancient One not only knocked the huge Hulk to the ground, but also directly knocked Dr. Banner's soul out of his body!
Floating in the air, looking at the Hulk lying on the ground... Dr. Banner is obviously confused!
"Now let's start from the beginning, shall we?"
Ancient One smiled particularly 'kindly' at Dr. Banner's spirit.
Dr. Banner, who was killed instantly, resolutely repented and told the details from beginning to end.
But after hearing his words, Ancient One didn't seem to buy it. It wasn't that she didn't believe in such nonsense as time travel. In fact, she believed that what Banner said was true and he didn't lie to her, because just two blocks away, there was another identical Hulk who was venting his anger crazily...
But no matter what the reason is, as the Sorcerer Supreme, it is her duty to protect the Time Stone, and she can't hand it over!
So Gu Yi turned around and left.
Dr. Banner's spirit followed her, begging, "Please! Please!"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you, Bruce." Gu Yi refused helplessly again.
"If I give you the Time Stone to save your reality, our world will be in danger."
"Excuse me, but that's not what scientific theory says." Dr. Banner's spirit blocked Ancient One's way.
In desperation, the Ancient One had to use magic to materialize a magic line, and then surrounded the magic line with six infinity gems.
Then he explained: "The Infinity Stones created the time flow you feel. If one Infinity Stone is missing, it means a diversion. This may help your reality, but the situation here is not necessarily the case. In this new reality branch, we have lost the main weapon to fight against the dark forces. Our world will be in extreme danger and people will suffer a catastrophe."
"So tell me, Doc. Can your scientific theories prevent this from happening?"
"No, but we can eliminate all of this, because once we have used up these Infinity Stones, we will return them to their original owners at the original point in time, so from a time and space perspective, in the original reality, these Infinity Stones have never left."
Dr. Banner took back the Time Stone that was thrown away by Ancient One and put it back to its original place.
Ancient One was a little shaken, but she still couldn't hand over the Time Stone just like that.
"But you missed the most important point. If you want to return the property to its original owner, you must survive first."
"Of course! We will survive and return the Infinity Stone! I promise!"
"I can't take such a risk just for a promise. The duty of the Sorcerer Supreme is to protect the Time Stone." Ancient One said very firmly.
Dr. Banner was talking until his mouth was dry but he still couldn't convince the other party, which made him very frustrated!
Just when he was at his wits' end, he suddenly remembered the note Dio had slipped to him before he left.
"If the plan doesn't go well, show this to the other party."
Did that guy already expect this
Dr. Banner was a little absent-minded for a moment, then he said hurriedly: "Someone asked me to bring you something, it's in my trouser pocket!"
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, then he made a spell and saw a piece of paper flying out of the trouser pocket of Hulk who was lying on a chair nearby.
When Gu Yi opened it, an expression of great surprise appeared on his face.
Because some of the things recorded there were things that even she didn't understand!
But she knew the person who signed the letter, and had been keeping a close eye on him, just like she had been keeping a close eye on Strange!
