Hearing is one thing, seeing is believing. President Loki knows there's a chance to leave the Void and should be honest for a while.
As for the future—
Heh heh.
He is not He Who Remains, who has special feelings for Loki.
Just a tool.
One more is not too many, one less is not too few.
Which throne is not piled high with bones!
Samuel ignored the excited President Loki and disappeared directly in front of him, going to the [Fantastic Four] World.
Columbia University, a laboratory on campus.
Wearing a white lab coat, with messy hair and a scruffy beard, Reed Richards stood in front of the experimental bench, concentrating on repairing a crucial part of the Time Controller with a magnifying glass.
His assistant, and only assistant, Benjamin, stared hopefully at the Time Controller's screen.
Several consecutive days of almost non-stop work had made their eyes frighteningly red.
Success or failure, it all depends on this!
On the side of the experimental bench was a high-grade leather sofa that was clearly out of place in this environment.
The White Queen, wearing a white suit, leaned back on the sofa with her legs crossed, reading a book leisurely and comfortably.
"Whoosh—"
In the corner of her eye, a figure appeared out of thin air.
The White Queen quickly got up and put down her book.
"Master, you're back."
Samuel, who had just appeared, was momentarily stunned by the White Queen's address.
Master?
Did I travel to the old World?
He glanced at the book on the sofa, and good heavens—Five Thousand Years of China!
Alright, just for your diligent study, I have to give you a big thumbs up!
Samuel smiled, put down his backpack, and picked up the book.
"Can you understand it?"
"I can read it, but I don't understand it."
Patting the book, Samuel said with some pride, "This book actually only talks about one thing."
"One thing?"
"Right!"
Vast China, protected by the Dragon Soul.
I've been playing this game of chess for 5000 years.
Sometimes when I'm tired and fall asleep, someone overturns my chessboard.
I rearrange it again, and they still have to obediently play chess with me.
Because all the uneasy chess players have been chased out by me.
Or disappeared in the annals of history.
Thinking about this game of chess over so many years, I've played it back and forth hundreds of times.
I don't feel tired, I just seek an opponent.
5000 years ago, like the ancient Egyptians, I faced floods.
4000 years ago, like the ancient Babylonians, I caressed bronze ware.
3000 years ago, like the Greeks, I contemplated philosophy.
2000 years ago, like the Romans, I conquered everywhere.
1000 years ago, like the Arabs, I was incredibly wealthy.
And now, I am competing with the Americans.
For 5000 years, I have always been in the World.
On the board, my opponents have already changed several rounds.
You ask who I am?
Listen carefully.
China!
Samuel meaningfully returned the book to the White Queen and looked at the focused Reed Richards and Benjamin.
"How is it going?"
"There should be results very soon."
As soon as the White Queen finished speaking.
Benjamin, who had been so quiet he didn't even dare to breathe, excitedly pushed Reed Richards and shouted presumptuously.
"It's lit! It's lit! It's lit! Reed, we succeeded! We succeeded!"
The display of the Time Controller lit up.
Reed Richards slightly curved his lips, while installing the Time Controller, he spoke in a deliberately calm manner.
"Don't be happy yet, we only count as successful after testing and confirming there are no problems."
"There definitely won't be any problems."
Benjamin guaranteed confidently, then suddenly noticed Samuel who had appeared: "You, when did You come?"
"When You were excitedly shouting 'green, green'."
"I clearly shouted 'lit, lit', not 'green, green'." Benjamin explained indignantly.
"Hmm, it's quite bright."
Samuel looked at his shiny bald head and said seriously: "You've worked hard, wash Your head properly later, it's oily."
"Although life has laid its hands on You, You have a firm grasp on temperament. You're bald, and You've become stronger—"
"What nonsense, I'm telling You, don't think You're amazing just because You have money."
Benjamin was a bit blunt and simple, but he wasn't stupid. He naturally understood Samuel's teasing.
"Sorry, having money is really amazing, having money really allows You to do whatever You want."
Samuel crooked his finger, the zipper of his backpack automatically opened, and a diamond ring floated out.
"It's for You, You can use it to propose if You get a girlfriend in the future."
Benjamin was dumbfounded, and Reed Richards, who had finished installing the Time Controller nearby, also widened his eyes in surprise.
Even the White Queen showed astonishment.
"Why are You looking at me like that? It's quite reasonable for me to have superpowers when I can even take out the Time Controller, right?"
The Time Controller can be explained by science, but superpowers?
Do You think this is scientific?
Is this reasonable?
It's just that the current Reed Richards and Benjamin haven't encountered the solar storm to become Mister Fantastic and Thing, otherwise they would definitely think it's reasonable, it's too darn reasonable!
