Marvel I became Thanos

Stark Tower, in a remote laboratory.

A colorful vortex is slowly forming.

Directly opposite the whirlpool, Stark touched his sexy stubble, with worry and anxiety flashing from time to time in his eyes.

He comes from Levi's time and space.

Not long ago, he successfully obtained the Space Stone without any effort.

However, time travel is a complicated process, and it was his first time to do it, so it took a long time.

And once he is discovered in the process, the space gem in his hand will be gone.

He didn't want this to happen to him.

So he decided to find the safest place to avoid being tracked by himself who also came from the future.

The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, so he chose this place.

However, in order to confuse his other self, he deliberately walked out of Stark Tower and flew away in front of him.

In fact, he didn't fly very far, he just flew to the top floor, then took the stairs, entered his fingerprints, and came to this sealed laboratory.

He was almost successful. In just 10 minutes, the quantum vortex would be fully formed.

Then he can go back to the future.

At this time, Steve's voice came from the communicator.

"Tony, Loki's scepter has been cut off."

Tony Stark is shocked "What's going on?"

Steve told Tony the general story. After hearing this, Stark was a little unable to turn this corner.

Four American butts.

what's the situation

One is Steve from this time and space, the other is Steve from the future, and the third is Steve who has traveled back in time and lived for nearly six or seventy years.

Why does it feel so weird?

In fact, when Banner told him that there were them who also came from the future, he was very surprised about something.

How did these people appear?

Is it from a future farther away than them?

You shouldn't

If they don't get the Infinity Stones this time, they won't have much of a future.

How could these people come from their future?

So where are they from?

past

The gems were fine in the past, so there is no need to grab them in the future.

Tony Stark was lost in thought.

On the other side, Thanos and Banner's preliminary preparations have been completed.

Just as the two were about to return to the future, Tony's voice suddenly came from the communicator in their ears.

"Levi, are you here?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Stark?"

"I don't understand where those people came from. You are mainly focused on time travel. Can you tell me the reason?"

"I don't understand either." Steve Rogers also said in the communicator.

Hearing this, Thanos, who turned into Levi, felt helpless.

He had already been thinking about this question when he met another Bruce Banner who also came from the future.

How on earth did those people appear?

According to his theory, space-time is a river.

Traveling back in time means swimming from the lower reaches of the river to the upper reaches of the river.

In other words, the past you travel through must be on the same timeline as the time and space you are in.

Only on the same line can you experience it, and because you have experienced it, you can go back to the past.

But the obvious problem is that they and another group of people obviously cannot be on the same timeline.

Because the logic obviously doesn't hold up.

In other words, those people come from a different timeline, not connected to the timeline they come from, but a completely independent line.

And what is such a line called?

Levi had already answered this question when he was at the Women's Federation base.

Time and space are similar to rivers, and rivers can be divided into tributaries and main streams. Because for us, we need to focus on the timeline we are in, so I call the timeline we experience the main stream of time, and the rest The timeline is called a time tributary. "

So those people may have come from a time tributary parallel to their time.

Of course this is from their perspective.

And those people's past timelines happen to completely coincide with their past timelines.

But at a certain point, the time flow changed and a new branch was formed.

For example, it's like the letter y. The two diagonal lines extend from the straight line at the bottom.

That straight line is the past of two diagonal lines.

At that point, the original straight line branched and turned into two diagonal lines.

These two slashes are different futures.

The time and space where Levi and the others live is one of the straight lines, while the time and space where those people come from is another straight line.

The two straight lines are independent of each other and eventually move farther and farther apart.

But while they were not differentiated, parts of their past were the same.

And the point in time they are at now happens to be the shared past of both parties.

Thanos told them this guess in detail.

Everyone is smart, so they understand quickly.

"I understand what you said, but I'm curious as to why a new tributary of time appears." Stark was puzzled. "At the beginning, you told us that the river of time is self-healing. The impact, if not too great, will not affect the flow of the entire river of time.”

"Yes, I did say that." Thanos nodded and admitted, "The river of time is just like a real river. If the river wants to branch off into a new tributary, it requires the combined influence of multiple factors such as astronomy, hydrology, and geography. "

"That is to say, unless there is a drastic and subversive change at one point in time, relying on the self-healing nature of the long river of time, he can maintain the general direction of the long river of time without making mistakes."

"As the saying goes, history keeps repeating itself, and history does not repeat itself. That's it."

When Stark heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

But his doubts were not eliminated, but became more intense.

"Let me ask you, Levi, how did the time tributary they come from come into being?"

"Sorry, I don't have an answer to this question either." Thanos cried in his heart.

He really has no answer

Probably not.

He felt that the reason why a new time tributary was derived was because at a certain point in time, a variable appeared. This variable had a great impact, directly changing the flow direction of the long river of time and creating a new time tributary.

The other one continues to run in the established general direction.

From this perspective, the flow of time and space they come from is actually a tributary of time.

Why is Thanos so sure?

Because he doesn't believe that such ghostly things as time travel will happen in history.

And once this happens, variables will appear in the established history.

And this variable also possesses the body of the person who controls the direction of the long river of time, that is, the body of Thanos. It would be a ghost if this does not create a new tributary of time.

Of course, he didn't say this out loud, but kept it a secret.
