Chapter 23 – Plan For Future
“Anyway, get some more rest. I have some unfinished research.”
Howard was about to leave the room, leaving me alone in a super luxurious suite, and I saw the sun outside the window.
“Oh by the way Howard. How many hours have I been asleep?"
"Jarvis."
"Exactly three days, six hours, and thirty-four minutes."
I've been unconscious for three days? Wow, I'm almost dead.
“Whatever. Good morning Michael. You are in my house now, so you can continue to rest or walk around. Jarvis will help you. I'll be in my lab.”
When Howard left the room, leaving these words behind, I sat back on my bed and leaned back.
I digested what I had just experienced and began to think about it. As far as I knew myself, if my entire universe had been destroyed at the hands of a villain, I wouldn't have traveled from universe to universe by burning my life force to warn others I's in other timelines.
Probably the other me isn't burning his life force while traveling around like this, and he's trying to save other-selves and make them owe him.
From this, I can guess that his goal is a big war between the Kangs and the Michaels.
But why would I want to get involved in that kind of nonsense?
Hmm...
Well, I don't have to worry about that now. If the time bureau people haven't come to get me by now, I must have already become part of this timeline.
I have a plan now to avoid both my variants and the Kang variants.
All I have to do is not make any major changes to the timeline, wait for Thanos to destroy half of the universe, and in the meantime, be a part of the left half. Then I need to go to the past with the other Avengers and join Loki when he steals the Tesseract.
If I manage to get to Kang, who was arrested by the time bureau and prevented multiple timelines from forming, then it should be easy. I make a deal with him, allow other timelines to form in a controlled manner, and then kill the variants in those timelines.
All I need is enough power to set the whole plan in action.
And the plan is complete... Funny, am I the smartest of all my variants? It's possible.
I think this general cultivation technique was absorbing cosmic energy to strengthen me and all my abilities. All I have to do is sit for years and years like ordinary Chinese protagonists. It won't be hard...
Let's get started.
“AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!”
“What the fuck! Why are you yelling?”
“Uh, I'm sorry sir. When I saw you waking up, I was like...”
“sigh... you know what? It's okay”
I was just starting to focus and feel the wonderful sensation of my body merging with the universe when I was interrupted by the scream of Jarvis' wife.
“By the way, I was taking care of you while you were unconscious.”
"Edwin didn't mention that you had a nursing background."
“Did he tell you about me? I hope it was good.”
“All good things. I was saying nursing?"
“That's right, I don't have a nursing background, I mean I'm good with stitches, so if you have a bullet wound or something, you can come to me. But that's not the point right now. The person who took care of you was actually a professional doctor.”
Wow speaks really fast and likes to bend and twist when she speaks.
“But there was a time when I had to nurse at the front for a while. When the commander realized that my hands didn't shake easily because of the sewing skills I learned from my mother, they gave me the job of drugging the soldiers. But then we ran out of drugs and oh those were terrible times. I helped hold a soldier's leg while it was being amputated and he was screaming.”
"Miss."
“Of course, don't get me wrong, I wasn't in an army that tortured people by cutting off their legs just like that. It was just an infected leg. Uh, and also, there are no aid tents like some newspapers dare to write about, cutting off the legs of soldiers so that they can come back and get more compensation. All those asshole journalists care about is stirring the pot and selling more papers. Oh good god. my hands are already shaking. But don't worry, if I have to stitch up your bullet wound, I certainly won't let bad old memories come up and make my hands shake”
"MISS JARVIS! Will you please shut up and leave me alone?"
"I'm sorry... I'll go and tell Mr. Howard right now."
"Thanks and no need"
“but he told me to tell him as soon as you woke up.”
“He was just here. Would you mind bringing me a meat dish for five or six people when you're done?"
“oh o...okay. I'll get it right away.”
When I saw Ana Jarvis slowly walk out of the room and quietly close the door, I was about to continue the training, but as soon as the door closed, I was startled again by the sound of her shouting.
“EDWINNNNNNN!!!”
Anyway, where was I? Yes, about my future plan.
The first stage of my plan is to keep getting stronger until the endgame, but not to reveal all of my power, because if they see that someone as strong as me loses to Thanos easily, they might suspect me. In short, I need to be an average avenger and have a strong political position just in case.
It's going to be laborious, but I need to get a position like the founder of the Shield or the line between ordinary people and superhumans.
Also, if the system can be destroyed with infinity stones, I don't need to think about that for a while.
Uh, that's right, I'd already made a plan and started training. She raped my brain in two seconds. For God's sake.
