American comics: A salted fish becomes a saint by hanging up

Lin Nan felt a sense of warmth and strength, knowing that he was not alone and had many friends and allies supporting him. He clenched the ring tightly, determined to move forward, and in order to protect the normal development of each timeline, he must always remain vigilant.

In the following days, Lin Nan, Dr. Strange and other Kamar-Taj wizards worked together to study and repair the damaged timeline. They found that although the guardian of time was defeated, there were still some evil forces working in secret, trying to interfere with the flow of time.

Once, on a particularly quiet night, Lin Nan sat alone in the courtyard of Kamar-Taj, looking up at the starry sky. The stars twinkled in the night sky, as if telling the infinite mysteries of the universe. He felt a sense of tranquility, but also a strong sense of mission.

"Lin Nan, what are you thinking about?" A gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.

Lin Nan looked back and saw that it was Irene, a young mage from Kamar-Taj. She had a pretty face and her eyes were full of wisdom and kindness.

"I'm thinking about what path to take in the future." Lin Nan replied with a smile.

Irene walked over to him and sat down. "We are all looking for answers, but I believe that as long as we unite, we can overcome all difficulties."

Lin Nan nodded: "Thank you, Irene. Your words give me great comfort."

Irene smiled and patted his hand: "We are all friends, and we should support each other. Remember, you are not alone."

Lin Nan felt a surge of warmth and strength, and he knew he had to keep going, no matter how difficult the road ahead was. He took a deep breath, looked up at the starry sky, and his heart was filled with hope and determination.

The next day, Lin Nan, Dr. Strange and other wizards continued to study the timeline repair work. They found that there were some particularly critical nodes that needed special attention, because these nodes connected multiple timelines, and once damaged, it would bring great chaos.

"These nodes are the key to the entire time network." Strange pointed to several marks on the star map, "We must ensure their safety."

Lin Nan nodded: "I understand, I will protect these nodes myself."

Strange looked at him with a smile: "I believe you can do it."

Lin Nan took a deep breath, clenched the ring, and was determined to move forward. He knew that this would be a long and difficult battle, but he was ready.

The first node was located deep in an ancient forest. Lin Nan passed through the trees and came to a quiet lake. The lake was crystal clear, surrounded by birdsong and flowers, as if isolated from the world.

However, he soon discovered that this peaceful lake was not simple. There was a strong energy fluctuation in the center of the lake, as if it was hiding some powerful force. Lin Nan felt a strong sense of crisis, and he knew that he had to be careful.

"Lin Nan, you're finally here." A low and cold voice came from the lake.

Lin Nan looked at the lake alertly and found a dark shadow slowly emerging from the water. It was a man in a black robe with a grim face and evil eyes.

"Who are you?" Lin Nan asked, his body instinctively entering a combat state.

"I am one of the controllers of time, Knox." The black-robed man sneered, "Do you think you can protect the timeline by defeating those guardians? You are too naive."

Lin Nan felt angry: "I won't let you succeed!"

Knox laughed: "Then let me see your strength."

After saying that, Knox waved his hand and pointed. The lake suddenly churned violently, and strong energy waves surged out of the lake, heading straight for Lin Nan.

Lin Nan stood beside the lake, feeling the strong energy fluctuations. He took a deep breath, and the ring in his hand emitted a light blue light, preparing to meet Knox's attack.

"Do you think you can stop me with just this little power?" Knox sneered, crossing his hands in front of his chest. The lake water instantly began to boil, and energy fluctuations surged in the air, making a low roar.

Lin Nan quickly raised the ring, and a blue energy shield formed around him, blocking the incoming lake water and energy waves. He felt the pressure on the shield increasing, but he gritted his teeth and held on.

"You don't understand the true power of time." Knox said coldly, his figure suddenly became blurred, as if merging with the lake.

Lin Nan felt uneasy. He knew that Knox's power was not just about controlling the lake water. He had to find his opponent's weakness, otherwise the battle would be endless.

"Knox, what is your goal?" Lin Nan asked loudly, hoping to find clues from the other party's words.

"Goal?" Knox's voice echoed in the lake. "I pursue unlimited power and the power to control everything. Time is just a tool for me to achieve all this."

"Ambition like yours will only bring destruction." Lin Nan retorted. He concentrated and the light on the ring became more dazzling.

"Destruction? No, it's a kind of rebirth." Knox's laughter was like a sharp blade piercing Lin Nan's eardrum, making him feel a sharp pain.

Suddenly, countless water columns emerged from the lake, as if controlled by some invisible force, and quickly spun around Lin Nan. Each water column contained powerful energy and could turn into a deadly attack at any time.

Lin Nan took a deep breath and clenched the ring with both hands. The blue energy shield shuttled between the water columns. He knew that he had to stay calm and look for the opponent's flaws. He looked around, looking for Knox's figure.

"You can't find me." Knox's voice came from all directions, with endless mockery, "In this lake, I am the master."

Lin Nan stopped responding. He focused all his attention on feeling the energy fluctuations in the lake. He knew that he had to surpass his own limits to break Knox's control.

Suddenly, he felt a weak energy fluctuation coming from the bottom of the lake. It was a fluctuation different from the surrounding energy, as if it was hiding some secret. Lin Nan made a quick decision. He released the power of the ring with all his strength, and the blue light pierced straight to the bottom of the lake like a sharp sword.

The lake water churned violently, as if it had been hit by a huge impact. Knox's figure appeared in the lake, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"You actually..." Before Knox could finish his words, the blue light had already hit his body.

Lin Nan did not dare to relax, he knew that this was only a temporary advantage. He quickly adjusted his strategy, concentrated all his strength, and raised the energy of the ring to the extreme. A strong beam of light gushed out from the ring and rushed straight to Knox.
