Through Pym particles, you can enter the quantum realm, and traveling in the quantum realm can change the time dimension and achieve true time and space travel.
This is the most basic and critical setting of "Avengers 4: Endgame".
Leo now has Pym particles, but that doesn't mean he has a time machine.
On the contrary, he currently has no idea about time machines.
Because after he obtained the Pym particles, he never shrunk himself to quantum size and never entered the quantum realm.
The quantum realm is a dangerous and extremely deadly place. Scott Lang has been able to come back safely from the quantum realm many times because of the protagonist's aura and luck.
Leo didn't think he had such a strong European spirit, so he didn't dare to try it easily.
Science is not fabricated out of thin air. Leo did not have any experience or any experimental data, so it was naturally impossible for Leo to design a prototype of a time machine overnight.
Originally, Leo had no plans to explore the time machine for the time being, but now it seems that it is better to prepare for a rainy day as soon as possible.
Maybe it will be used in the future.
These ideas quickly went through Leo's mind, and a general plan gradually took shape.
Putting this plan aside for now, Leo returned his energy to the conversation with Ancient One.
The conversation with Ancient One is far from over, because Leo has not yet talked about the most critical part of the time stone.
Since Leo still wants to collect all the Infinity Stones, there are obstacles that cannot be bypassed around the Time Stone.
Even though Gu Yiming said he would not give the gem to Leo, Leo still had to try his best to get it.
The method of hitting and killing is simply not feasible at the moment.
Leo felt that even if he brought a group of Marvel mercenaries to form a group to defeat the Ancient One, they might not be able to defeat him.
If you can't rob, then the only thing left is to outwit.
After graduating from college in his previous life, Leo understood a truth long ago after being polished by society.
If you want to get something from someone, it is nothing more than an exchange of benefits.
If that person is unwilling to give you something, it only means that the benefits you offer are not enough to make that person's heart.
Take Leo himself for example. The Viper Armor is very important to him, right?
Suppose a random cat or dog comes over and says: I want your Viper Armor, please make me one.
If Leo was in a good mood, he would tell him to go away; if he was in a bad mood, he would kick him and then send him to death.
However, if Ancient One came to Leo with the Time Stone and said: I can give you the Time Stone, can you give me a set of Viper armor?
You would be a fool not to change.
Even if Ancient Yi asked Leo to help her arm an army of vipers, Leo would agree unequivocally.
Because the Time Stone is something that can make Leo's heart beat. You can use it to exchange for everything that Leo can give.
Therefore, if Leo wants to get the Time Stone from Ancient Yi, he must come up with something that is enough to make Ancient Yi's heart move.
What does the Ancient One want?
The answer is already obvious, she wants to live and solve her destiny once and for all.
Thinking of this, Leo's confidence returned, and he still had great hope of getting the Time Stone.
Leo: "Venerable Ancient One, you should also know that after I arrived in this dimensional universe, I am now a serious businessman. More or less, my way of thinking will be a bit vulgar like a businessman. Please don't take it off.
.”
"So, let me tell you the truth. What reward are you willing to give me for saving you this time?"
You can't be polite to someone like Gu Yi who has lived for nearly ten thousand years.
If you are a little more polite, maybe your original reward will be lost.
Gu Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with Leo's "serious business thinking". She thought for a moment and said:
"I know you want to learn the 'Portal' spell, and I can give it to you. I see that you seem to be very interested in the 'Mirror Space' spell, and I can give it to you. Any other spell, if you
If you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach you."
"Of course, the premise is that you can really release enough mana, otherwise all this is empty talk."
"Is there anything else?"
Leo asked quickly, with an expression like "Your life is worth more than this."
Gu Yi smiled freely:
"I have lived for such a long time. Firstly, I have never been in business, secondly, I have not been involved in politics, and thirdly, I have no mines. I cannot afford to buy my life. So I killed Black Heart in the demon world and gave him all the treasures he had collected over hundreds of thousands of years.
They were all left to Mr. Erwin as payment.
I estimate that those things, if converted into U.S. dollars, would be worth several billion, which should be enough to buy my life."
"That's enough."
Not to mention billions of dollars, even hundreds of thousands or even thousands of dollars, in this Marvel universe, is enough to buy a human life.
You feel that your life is very valuable and priceless, but in the eyes of others, it is worthless at all.
Oh, no. It should be worth ten thousand yuan.
The treasures that Gu Yi left to Leo after killing Black Heart, whose specific uses are not yet known, are indeed enough to pay for Leo's life-saving grace.
A person must be self-aware, and Leo would not ask for too much, otherwise he would be greedy.
But the money is enough to pay for it this time, but what about next time?
You can’t pay once for two lifesavers, right?!
So Leo asked in a different way,
"Venerable Ancient One, the next time your fate appears again, can I refuse to help?"
"You described your fate so mysteriously before. I'm afraid that this weird fate will include me. Next time, even I will be dealt with too!"
This is not an excuse that Leo made to drive up the price of his life. He is really worried about this.
If in the end Leo was also obsessed with fate, which was like the god of death seeking his life, he would not have the Eye of Agamotto to see into the future and avoid fate.
If fate strikes once, he will probably have to confess.
Gu Yi was slightly stunned after hearing Leo's question, and then said with a smile on his face:
"Mr. Erwin, you don't have to worry. According to the fate catalog handed down by the Supreme Mage, fate will only target the Supreme Mage who has absorbed the power of eternal life, and will not harm others.
At least according to the experience of so many generations of Supreme Mage, those who help the Supreme Mage through their destiny have never been troubled by fate. According to statistics, more than 90% of people can die a good life, exactly the same as ordinary people."
"Is there any record in the data of people who helped the Supreme Mage survive two fates in succession? What was their fate?" Leo asked.
"This..." Gu Yi looked thoughtful, "It really doesn't exist."
That’s right!
You can cheat without Leo...
No, you can understand it with emotion and move it with reason.
"Venerable Ancient One, just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it won't happen. I don't have the ability to avoid or solve the mysterious fate. Once I encounter it, it will be a dead end.
Even if you give me billions of dollars next time, I won't be able to enjoy it.
Don’t blame me for being selfish. We are all thinking about our own lives. After I finish learning the magic with you, I’d better not get involved in your future fate.”
"Mr. Erwin, how can that be done?"
Leo is the most amazing person Gu Yi has ever met.
She can more or less peek into other people's futures, including Captain America who has returned from the future, through the Eye of Agamotto.
But Leo is different.
Ancient Yi could only see Leo's past, but couldn't see a single bit of Leo's future!
This also means that a matter whose future outcome has been "decided" will become possible once it passes through Leo's hands.
This fate, Casillas, was originally supposed to be the end of her ancient life, but in the end she was lucky enough to meet Leo and escape.
If Leo stops helping her, how will she survive next time?
Everyone has a strong desire for life, and Gu Yi is no exception.
Maybe she doesn't just live selfishly, she also takes on the responsibility of protecting the world.
Therefore, she neither wants to die nor dares to die.
