Chapter 258 - 255 | Box Theory, Universe Number.
"So, I can't go back now?"
It took about a few seconds for Luke to organize his thoughts and figure out the situation.
He didn't know whether Kang had prepared a time and space trap in advance or wanted to run ahead of time. As a result, he used it himself.
Anyway, Luke came to this strange and familiar 'future world' through the time and space transmission device.
A world that wasn't influenced by Superman and developed according to the original track!
"This is probably the timeline of the movie universe, and Thanos has finished snapping his fingers."
Luke stood in the street, watching a helicopter falling from the air and crashing into a tall building.
With a bang, a fire broke out.
The shocking movement, like a terrorist attack, didn't cause the slightest panic.
Many cars suddenly got out of control, slamming into stone piers on the side of the road or rushing directly into stores.
Boom! Boom!
A series of rear-end traffic accidents occurred, smoke billowed up, followed by explosions.
"This may be the most chaotic and worst day ever."
Luke spread out his palm and threw out the little ash left by the one-eyed Director.
He looked down the street. The cars on the road were jammed into a long queue of steel, and there was no end in sight.
In many driver's seats, there was only a handful of ashes and no human insight.
Some people died silently, and their bodies were erased.
Others looked frightened, blank, and had no idea what was happening.
'If I came a bit earlier, maybe one hour, perhaps I could have prevented this disaster. '
There was a glimmer of expectation in Luke's eyes.
Thinking of facing Thanos, it should roughly be a 50-50 situation.
The combat power of the movie universe Thanos wasn't so exaggerated.
"Sir, what's happening? Help me …"
A pedestrian grabbed Luke's arm. The other party might have seen Superman's suit and thought he was a superhero.
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything for the time being. But don't worry, you'll be back soon."
Luke shrugged his shoulders. A few seconds later, the poor guy vanished in front of his eyes.
'Then again, will the rules of this universe influence me? Wiping out half of all living things, I wonder if I would be included?'
The director of the Family Planning Commission, the Mad Titan, dedicated himself to depopulation.
Using the random way of wiping out half of all the living beings on each planet.
This was an 'erasing' requirement.
So, those unfortunate people who were randomly selected were directly reduced to ashes and disappeared!
Their bodies were gone with the wind, and their souls returned to Death.
The only good news was that there was no pain.
Equivalent to 'euthanasia'.
But Luke had a question. As a traveler from another universe, would he be affected?
According to Marvel's universe hierarchy, this world's Infinity Gauntlet may not be able to take effect on him.
'This may not be answered until I meet Thanos. '
Luke thought silently.
Rrrmmm!
A runaway car ran towards him, but it was cut in half with Heat Vision before it could touch him.
With more and more lives erased by that snap, the scene seemed to be more and more chaotic.
'Compared with the end of the world, this snap seems to be a little more frightening. '
Luke himself was quite calm. He waited for a long time and didn't feel anything strange.
Obviously, either he was lucky and wasn't selected by random probability.
Or, he was completely unaffected.
"At this time, Captain America's team and Thor's delegation are in Wakanda. Iron Man and Nebula are on Titan. Who should I go to?"
Luke's first goal was clear, and that was to find a way home.
The space-time transmission was actually quite complicated.
In other words, any scientific field linked to quantum mechanics was always confusing.
The Marvel Universe was equivalent to an infinitely large box, and then there were small boxes with different numbers inside.
Luke's timeline was a small box located under the 616 primary universe.
The timeline he was currently in was in another small box numbered 'Earth-199999'.
There were subtle connections between different small boxes.
For example, Nick Fury in the movie universe was black.
But in the main Earth-616, he was actually white.
For another example, Loki in the movie universe was the second Prince of Asgard.
But in other universes, it was possible for Loki to be a Princess.
Everyone's gender, skin color, pros, and cons would change with different boxes.
But the general characters would still exist.
Unless they were forgotten and thus 'erased'.
To sum it up, Luke wanted to find his way home.
He needed to locate the small box where he was originally from accurately and then use the small box he was in as a starting point for a smooth time and space trip.
It sounded simple, but he needed to use the specific parameters of the relevant world, coordinate position, time and space anchor points, and landing points.
Even a genius like Tony Stark would get a headache if he saw it.
Because this wasn't time travel in one small box.
But from one box to another.
The difficulty had risen exponentially!
'By the way, my little box hasn't been named yet. '
Luke suddenly remembered this.
Every box under the main universe had a corresponding number.
Then, of course.
The world where he lived should also have a string of corresponding numbers.
"Earth-1024."
Luke pondered for a moment and gave a simple answer.
If there's an opportunity in the future, he also planned to stamp his own box.
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and more and more ashes were flying all over the sky.
Luke was unaware that he was walking to Times Square.
As 'The Crossroads of the World', this was the place with the largest flow of people in New York, but now, there weren't many people at all.
Only rolling billboards and colorful neon tubes, proof of the liveliness before.
'Captain America is still in Wakanda and probably still in grief over the death of his teammates and his friend. '
'Thor, the God of Thunder, is probably regretting why he didn't chop down Thanos's head. '
'The only two survivors on Titan, one missing Spider-Man, one without her sister Gamora, shouldn't be in the mood to listen to my story at this time. '
Luke calculated with his fingers and found that it seemed that no one else had time to pay attention to him except for the retired Thanos.
The world was almost destroyed, and the superheroes suffered heavy casualties.
Thanos, as a big villain, finished his plan and left the ending in a hopeless direction.
"They need a hero!"
Luke breathed the air of the 21st century and whispered, "But before that, I need to find someone first."
Since the Avengers and superheroes were unreliable, he could only look for an old acquaintance who could understand his situation.
