Let me show you a new way Chapter 213

Lin Dong looked at the seven burning lantern furnaces before him. Six of them already housed Lantern Beasts.

Only one remained, the very last one.

The purple lantern furnace, symbolizing “love.”

Lin Dong extended his hands, and a purple orb of light slowly materialized in his palm. It was a collection of soul fragments he had painstakingly gathered through time magic. It held little original memory, as the being had already passed away.

“Benjamin Parker…”

“Deep love resides within your heart…”

The purple orb drew energy from the lantern furnace. Purple light streamed from the furnace, enveloping the orb, which then began to rapidly expand.

As a soul fragment of Ben Parker, he didn’t retain his original consciousness like the Ancient One, nor did he maintain a basic human form through sheer willpower like James Barnes.

Lin Dong had gathered these fragments through time magic, and they didn’t fully encompass all of Ben Parker’s memories.

However, the profound love for his wife and family, deeply embedded in his soul, remained.

Thus, as the Lantern Ring’s energy infused it, the purple orb slowly expanded and ruptured, revealing a giant, six-legged spider before Lin Dong.

The spider’s body was incredibly smooth, lacking the typical bristles of a real spider. It was entirely purple, radiating a warm glow at all times, and looked less like a living creature and more like an art piece carved from amethyst.

On its back, a purple mark shimmered brightly.

“Plunderer Spider, take your place!” Lin Dong commanded. The massive purple crystal spider emitted a clack-clack sound as it slowly walked into the lantern furnace.

Lin Dong gazed at the seven colossal lantern furnaces, blazing with flames. The entire emotional spectrum of the universe was converging here.

The immense energy caused the air to subtly distort.

Red of Rage, Blood Butcher Bull: Hatred

Orange of Avarice, Desire Python: Red Skull

Yellow of Fear, Parallax: Original Sin

Green of Willpower, Ion: Barnes

Blue of Hope, Luminous Tree: Groot

Indigo of Compassion, Inductor: Ancient One

Violet of Love, Plunderer Spider: Ben Parker

“Lantern Beasts in position, spectrum ascended. From this day forth…”

“The emotional spectrum shall spread throughout the universe…”

Lin Dong raised the ring in his hand high. Intense multi-colored light spread outwards, illuminating the sky like a beautiful rainbow. Each color was so distinct, so dazzling. Faintly, the seven-colored light disregarded distance and space, instantly spreading throughout the universe.

And under Lin Dong’s control, the seven lantern furnaces also erupted with powerful energy. They flew directly towards the sky, then instantly vanished into the void.

From this day forward, the selection process for the emotional rings would become more frequent, and their selection range would no longer be limited to Earth. As for the location of the main power battery, no one but Lin Dong would ever discover it.

In an instant, the universe seemed to undergo a change.

The power of the spectrum spread across the entire universe, altering its laws and partially changing its very essence.

But at the same time, it significantly heightened the universe’s alert level.

Lin Dong checked the alert level notification on his watch. He wouldn’t be able to stay here for too long.

Unlike last time, when he had brought the Mother Box from the DCEU and modified Jane Foster, that external substance had caused a significant impact on the native life of this universe. This situation was deemed an invasion by this universe.

After that, Lin Dong rarely used substances from other universes. For instance, the entire production process of the Lantern Rings, apart from the technology, used materials from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In the outcome of this major event, he used the souls of seven native beings from this universe to create seven Lantern Beasts, truly activating the power of the Lantern Rings. He would even create a true Seven Lantern Corps in the future.

Lin Dong had tried his best not to interfere in this process, but he still couldn’t avoid the slow rise of the alert level. He had to leave for a while, to lie low, and only when the universe’s self-evolution reached a certain point could Lin Dong return and continue to stir things up.

“Who… exactly are you?!” Thor stared at the woman before him, his eyes filled with警惕.

He vividly remembered how this woman named Thoren had transformed and how she had used that familiar lightning power.

That was the power of Asgard, the power of the Asgardian gods.

And this woman… Thor couldn’t even be sure if she was a true living being.

The woman looked at Thor. Her silver skin had returned to the normal human paleness, the silver armor was on her body, and her golden hair flowed down, each strand soft and smooth.

“My name is Thoren…”

“Daughter of Thor, the God of Thunder…”

Loki immediately jumped up.

“I knew it!” Loki slammed his fist into his palm, looking as if he had suspected it all along.

Thor, however, was dumbfounded, retreating a few steps in alarm, his mouth agape, his words somewhat stuttered.

“H-how… how is that possible?”

Thoren smiled, her eyes filled with deep exhaustion and unease.

“I… came from another timeline!”

“A tragic timeline.”

“In my world, Iron Man and Captain America fought a civil war, which ended with Captain America’s surrender. Afterwards, Thanos’s army advanced on Earth. After barely surviving the disaster, the world was on the brink of destruction. Fear and unease permeated the entire world, and then Jörmungandr, who emerged, absorbed the fear of the entire world. His power had expanded to an incredibly terrifying degree.”

“Many heroes sacrificed themselves. They paid too great a price to save that world.”

“But in the end, they were still powerless against the Great Serpent whose power had expanded to its limit.”

“And I am the last hope. I inherited the special abilities of a biological robot, and at the same time, I inherited the thunder of the Asgardian gods, and developed data-based abilities.”

“Iron Man, through some means, transmitted me as a data stream to another timeline. He tried to make me change history.”

“But when I arrived here, I discovered…”

“You discovered my existence,” Lin Dong finished her sentence.

Thoren turned her head, giving Lin Dong a deep look.

“Yes, in my world, after you taught Tony Stark magic, you never returned. But when I arrived in this timeline, I found that you had already appeared in this universe and were slowly changing everything in my memory.”

“I thought that once everything was altered, I should disappear due to a time paradox, but for some reason, I didn’t…”

“That’s because from the very beginning, what you underwent wasn’t time travel, but rather parallel universe jumps,” Lin Dong told her directly.

“Parallel universes are constantly changing and extending. They didn’t actually invent time magic, but rather used your special abilities to launch you into a parallel universe.”

“Your data contains a vast amount of information from another universe. You are the proof of that universe’s existence, and also its tombstone.”
