Chapter 349 What the hell is going on?
Having temporarily dealt with Nick Fury, Joey's mind returned to normal.
According to Namor, the power of the six Infinity Stones is enough to push away a universe about to collide. Although the stones will be destroyed after use, it can at least serve its purpose once.
Therefore, he still needs to collect the Infinity Stones.
The Time Stone and Soul Stone are already in hand, but the Space Stone is still missing.
If Joey remembers correctly, and if the universe hasn't gone awry, the Reality Stone was lost a thousand years ago during the war between Asgard and the Dark Elves.
Perhaps it's time to go and find Thor.
The Power Stone should be located in some ruins within Xandar's territory, bordering the Kree Empire. Hopefully, those unlucky Guardians of the Galaxy haven't dug it up yet.
The Soul Stone is a bit tricky, but once Joey has collected all five, he'll forcefully carve it out of the place where it's said you have to "sacrifice your loved one to obtain the stone."
"I need to leave for a while."
While pondering how to most efficiently collect all the Infinity Stones, Joey suddenly heard the farewell of the tycoon Kang:
"I need to go back to my own universe and boost my brand value. In business, it's always a matter of either moving forward or falling behind. I feel uncomfortable if I don't work for a day."
"Didn't you say before that you couldn't go back?"
Joey vividly remembered the horrific scene when Kang clung to him, begging him to handle the collision crisis. "And now you've found a solution?"
"The place I can't return to for the time being is the 50th century." Even though he can't return to the company immediately, the successful entrepreneur Kang has already fully planned his upcoming work schedule:
"But I can go back to the past, which is your present." Do you remember where I came from?
Joey then remembered that this Conqueror variant from Earth-138 Punk Spider-Man's universe, who only knew how to make money, wasn't originally a good person either.
His initial purpose in coming here was simply to forcibly kidnap the punk Spider-Man, who was hiding from the Heirs, from Joey's side, so that he could use the latter as a tool to make money.
"Your description has already infringed upon my right to reputation, my friend!"
The tycoon Kang was very dissatisfied with Joey's description:
"I was clearly taking him back to enjoy a life of luxury! Do you really think that constantly chanting some kind of anarchist 'anti-capitalism' fighting spirit, struggling through wasteland and garbage dumps, and having to fight to the death with President Norman's symbiote army every now and then, is better than living as a public spiritual leader and star?"
"Whether it's good or bad isn't up to me, nor is it up to you; what matters most is Punk Spider-Man's own opinion."
The explosive popularity of Punk Spider-Man in the 50th century reminded Joey of another person whose image was printed on a T-shirt, and for a moment he felt a pang of nostalgia:
"Your user base likes him, perhaps precisely because they like his fighting spirit that you completely don't understand," even if they don't understand what it means.
There are so many things to say, but Joey also felt it would be difficult for the wealthy and powerful businessman Kang to understand him on the issue of the punk Spider-Man.
"Whatever~" Entrepreneur Kang only focuses on the beginning and the result. The process of IP operation is inherently highly uncontrollable. Whether it succeeds or fails depends not only on the quality of the IP itself, but also on a bit of luck.
His trip to Earth-138, the era of Punk Spider-Man, is to collect more Punk Spider-Man merchandise.
"I've done this job many times. It usually involves scanning his former residence, finding the electric guitars he used, the records he listened to, the bandmates he interacted with, etc., recording some video materials, and then replicating some toys and selling them like hotcakes. Those fans love this!"
Achoo! ~~~ Hobby Brown, the punk Spider-Man, sneezed inexplicably, dozens of miles away.
"You're really obsessed with money!"
Normally, Joey would have really needed to use his fists to correct Kang's unruly mind and stop him from invading the punk Spider-Man's privacy, but right now he was simply too busy, and besides, Kang had saved him more than once:
"The multiverse isn't peaceful right now, so don't get killed in a collision! Contact me immediately if there's any trouble!"
"Then you have no idea how powerful we Kang are. Remember the story I told you about one of my variants encountering another version of Ultron?"
Most people with the Kang surname truly transcend cause and effect and are not bound by time, including the great entrepreneur Kang. What they can do is beyond the imagination of ordinary people:
"Ultron was so powerful that Kang, through time travel, gathered superheroes from the present, past, and future of the entire universe, and tried time and time again to defeat him, but he still won in the end. Do you know why?"
"Because the robot realized something when it self-destructed after discovering it was going through an endless loop."
The tycoon Kang shamelessly used another variant of his achievements to boast about himself:
"That's because even though Ultron might win many times, Kang will never lose!"
Joey's eyelids twitched as Kang mentioned these dangerous time travels. Compared to them, Wolverine's time travel to kill the ants was nothing!
"I knew the environment was bad; maybe it's people like you who've messed it up!"
Could the collision of the multiverses be caused by these "Kangs" randomly traveling through time?
"That's not the same! Not all time travelers are named Kang!"
If we compare time to a river, these beings are as if they already existed, becoming part of the river's ecosystem, a far cry from time travelers like Wolverine who would want to shovel up the riverbed.
"Anyway, whatever happens," Kang emptied the trunk, ducked into the driver's seat, and waved to Joey:
"I'll be waiting for your good news over there!"
The billions he builds up in the future will all depend on whether Superman can steer everything toward the right outcome.
As Kang Qin's chosen savior, Joey watched as the Rolls-Royce Phantom, like the DMC-12 in the old movie series "Back to the Future," streaked across the ground in an arc of electric light, flashing brilliantly before disappearing from the spot.
What will the future hold?
No one knows.
The only thing Joey knew was—
Piracira Joey felt a sudden, unpleasant noise in her ears, like fingernails scratching a blackboard or metal cutting glass—harmless but unbearable.
Following the direction from which the sound came, Joey's gaze extended, looking dozens of miles away.
What's going on?
