In Marvel, people are slime Chapter 114

Blinding light completely filled Laimu’s entire world.

He couldn’t see anything but green, and a strange drowsiness kept washing over him, making him sleepy.

‘What’s wrong with me, Great Sage?’

‘Alert: Due to direct contact with the Time Gem, which caused a Gem Riot, the body was forced to absorb excessive energy and is currently undergoing a forced evolution process. During forced evolution, the subject will be in a state of slumber.’

When Laimu touched the Mind Gem, the gem was inside the staff, essentially in a sealed state. But when he touched the Time Gem, he believed his physique was no weaker than the Hulk’s, so he directly touched the gem’s with his hand… This was a very dangerous act in itself, as many people throughout history have died from direct contact with the gems.

Laimu did not die, and even due to his own unique nature, he wasn’t harmed at all, but triggering the gem’s energy riot was inevitable.

‘Gem?… Where’s the Time Gem?’

The drowsy slime vaguely remembered that there was such a stone.

‘Alert: Already contained in the dimensional space for isolation.’

‘Then I’ll leave the outside to you, Great Sage…’

Drowsy Laimu could no longer resist the increasingly intense sleepiness and fell into a deep slumber.

‘Please wait!’

‘Energy detected as abundant, requesting evolution of unique skill: Great Sage.’

However, Laimu, who had already fallen asleep, couldn’t respond at all.

“Unique Skill: Great Sage, requesting evolution.”

The Great Sage repeated it again, but still no response…

So, two or three seconds later…

‘Request approved. Unique skill Great Sage is evolving… Evolution complete. Unique skill Great Sage has been upgraded to: Wisdom King.’

A pair of eyes as beautiful as rubies opened in the darkness.

A little girl with red eyes and blue hair stood on a quiet, deserted street.

It was the first time Wisdom King personally saw this world through Laimu’s eyes, and also the first time she experienced having a real body.

She lowered her head somewhat bewilderedly to look at her hands and body, seeming a bit uncomfortable… The next moment, Wisdom King’s body transformed into a subtly undulating female curve.

Beyond the low peaks, at the end of her vision, at her feet was a regular circle several meters in size. The cement ground within the circle had been weathered by time into a decaying state—mottled, cracked, and partly turned into powder.

Wisdom King looked up at her surroundings again; this was a deserted street. Under the night sky, high-rise buildings on both sides of the street were pitch black, with only a few windows lit. Further away was the colorful city nightscape.

This area around her was relatively quiet at night and should belong to the non-entertainment, commercial, and residential parts of the city.

‘Connecting to network. Current time is January 2, 1991, 21:32:59. Location is Brooklyn, New York, USA… Confirmed, due to Time Gem riot, transported to the 90s of the same world.’

Time and space are interconnected; changes in time cause spatial displacement.

Or rather, all things are interconnected; powerful energy can break space, and the flow of time varies greatly under different gravities.

‘Confirmed, acquired skills: Infinite Mana, Infinite Regeneration, Abnormal Time Influence Resistance.’

‘Acquired special skill: Time Manipulation.’

Because the Time Gem was stored in the dimensional space, providing an infinite energy source, the mana content was also approximately infinite, and the rapid regeneration skill based on mana was also upgraded to infinite regeneration.

Also due to the power of the Time Gem, she simultaneously gained resistance to abnormal time influences and the ability to control time to a certain extent.

After confirming all changes, Wisdom King took a step, intending to leave the place.

However, after only a few meters, blinding headlights suddenly lit up before her eyes.

A car turned the corner of the street and stopped a dozen meters away.

Looking at the unfamiliar vehicle before her, a faint red light flickered in Wisdom King’s red eyes.

‘Witness… should be eliminated…’

Humans were no different to Wisdom King than trees or stones by the roadside, but given that being discovered by humans would cause trouble for Laimu, her plan was to eliminate the trouble in its infancy.

After the red light flashed, a faint green light continued to glow in Wisdom King’s eyes, covering the ruby color of her eyes.

That was the power of time; if applied to a mortal, it could instantly make him live a hundred years in a moment, turning him into dust.

The car in front of her, starting from the right rearview mirror, gradually weathered, turning into ashes and disappearing into the air.

At that very moment, the car door opened, and Howard and Maria stepped out.

They were surprised to see a little girl, no more than a dozen years old, standing near the vanished giant light pillar.

She was dressed in old clothes, standing blankly in the middle of the road, staring at them motionless.

‘Confirmed, the individuals before me are Howard Stark and Maria Stark. Skill canceled.’

The faint light in Wisdom King’s eyes quietly faded, and the car’s rearview mirror, which had been weathered by two-thirds, instantly recovered from nothing.

She glanced at the two people in front of her, about to turn and leave, when Maria unexpectedly walked over.

“Little girl, what are you doing here? Did you get separated from your family?”

Maria stopped in front of Wisdom King and asked softly, her eyes filled with deep concern and tenderness.

Wisdom King looked at Maria and calmly responded with a single word, “No.”

“What’s your name? I see you’re alone here; do you need our help?”

Howard also walked over, standing beside Maria, his face expressionless, but his voice carried a hint of concern.

Looking at the two standing together, a green data stream flashed in Wisdom King’s eyes… Tony Stark’s photo, Howard’s… time travel…

All the causes and effects were instantly clear to Wisdom King.

“…Sophie Etcheberria.”

Maria turned and exchanged a look with Howard, who subtly nodded to his wife.

Maria pursed her lips, looked at Sophie, and slowly stepped forward half a pace, “Sophie, do you need help? It’s very dangerous to be out alone so late. This place is sparsely populated at night, otherwise… how about we take you to a safe place first?”

“Okay.”

Sophie agreed expressionlessly, walked directly past Maria and Howard, and unceremoniously opened the car’s back door and got in.

Behind her, Maria suddenly clutched her chest and took deep breaths. Howard reassuringly squeezed his wife’s hand, and when his wife looked at him, he gave her an encouraging look.

That little girl… falling from the sky, eyes glowing, an unusual demeanor and way of speaking… the car’s rearview mirror turning to dust and instantly recovering…

And… Howard glanced at the ground in front… a perfectly circular area that looked like it had been corroded by something…

As founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., dedicated to protecting Earth and humanity, Howard and Maria couldn’t ignore this… and the other party might not let them leave.

In any case, they needed to keep her calm first.
