“So, where are we now?”

After an unknown amount of time, the Slime finally finished the ‘agonizing’ process. She let out a long sigh, her face flushed from the prolonged immersion in hot water.

‘Reporting, 1991, New York, Howard Stark’s high-rise apartment in Manhattan.’

One? Nine? Nine? One?

Howard?

Slime went blank.

A memory was shared from the King of Wisdom.

It was as if something had been smoothly pierced, and Leimu instantly understood many things.

So Sophie was me… Oh no, Sophie was the King of Wisdom.

The person in the two photos seen twenty years later was also the King of Wisdom.

Due to the Time Stone, traveling through time changed the past, and the changed past influenced the future, forming a closed loop!

But… another question arose in Leimu’s mind.

If this was a closed loop, how was it initially formed?

Simplest of all, where did the name Sophie come from? Who gave it to her initially?

Initially, over twenty years later, they heard the name Sophie. And now in 1991, the King of Wisdom, having heard her name over twenty years later, gave herself the exact same name.

And because she gave herself this name, they would hear this name in the future.

This was a case of mutual cause and effect, water without a source.

This was impossible!

‘Reporting, this possibility exists.’

‘Sophie-chan, don’t try to fool me, or I’ll do this and that to your body.’

‘Reporting, in a four-dimensional space containing time, the same entity cannot be both the cause and effect of itself on the timeline, but from a five-dimensional perspective, this is a normal phenomenon.’

‘How so?’

‘It can be understood this way. In a one-dimensional space, the direction of a line cannot be both forward and backward simultaneously, but it holds true in two-dimensional space; in two-dimensional space, a surface cannot be both front and back simultaneously, but it holds true in three-dimensional space; in three-dimensional space, a region cannot be both inside and outside simultaneously, but it can be achieved in four-dimensional space.’

As Sophie explained, relevant memories were also shared from her.

Nani wo!

Circles existing in two dimensions, the Mobius strip in three dimensions, the Klein bottle in four dimensions, and the time loop in five dimensions.

Slime nodded in realization, as if understanding yet still a little bewildered.

It was a state of enlightenment, half-understood, half-clear.

Just then, a female voice came from outside.

“Sophie, we’re back, and we brought you a gift.”

According to the memories shared by Sophie, this was the voice of Maria, Howard’s wife.

Leimu interrupted her tangled thoughts. She looked at the bathroom door and picked up the folded clothes beside the door.

Before putting them on, the Slime, having been tricked once, carefully unfolded the clothes and took a look… Sure enough, it was a plain white dress.

And a cotton two-piece set.

“Sophie? Sophie…”

The voice outside continued to call out. Maria was wondering why she couldn’t find Sophie and hadn’t heard her reply.

Leimu was a little flustered.

Now… the only way was…

‘Sophie, I’m leaving my body to you!’

Anyway, they wanted to see Sophie, so she would just hide behind.

However, the body was ultimately Leimu’s body. When he wasn’t in a state of slumber, he felt all the sensations and perceptions brought by every movement, just as Sophie did.

So, even without doing it herself, Sophie putting on clothes was an immense… torment… enjoyment… torment?

Only he knew.

In the spacious living room, Howard and Maria were sitting on the sofa.

Through Sophie’s vision, Leimu saw the two people on the sofa; they looked exactly like the people in the photos she had seen before.

“Come, hurry over. We were afraid you’d be bored alone at home, so we bought a big dog to keep you company.”

Maria gently waved to Sophie.

Howard was buried in documents on the table, his face serious as he worked, not forgetting his duties even at home.

A very handsome Siberian Husky sat at Howard’s feet.

Its side profile looked like a wolf, cool, handsome, and extraordinary in demeanor. Then the extraordinary big dog heard the commotion, turned its head to look at Sophie, and started panting with a goofy expression, instantly transforming from a celestial dog into a silly husky.

Ever since a person needing care was added to the household, Maria and Howard would go home every day after working only until six or seven. But even so, when they went out during the day, Sophie was always alone at home.

Recently, fearing that Sophie might be lonely at home, they specifically ‘borrowed’ a working dog from S.H.I.E.D. to be Sophie’s playmate.

“Thank you.”

Sophie walked over, nodded, and sat down in a corner of the sofa.

After three months of living together, she remained as indifferent as ever, but Howard and Maria had long grown accustomed to it.

Maria even suspected that she might have some psychological issues, such as autism, and thus showed her even greater care.

They had considered inviting a doctor to examine her, but Sophie refused, and they dared not push her too hard.

“Come, get to know each other. From now on, it will keep you company when you’re at home…”

As Maria was speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Howard got up to open the door, “Obadiah…”

At Leimu’s instruction, Sophie nodded to Maria and silently led the husky into the inner room.

The living room was left to the three who were discussing work.

Having only met Obadiah briefly, a twenty-year-younger Obadiah looked less portly, but was still just as bald. He also smiled and nodded at the expressionless Sophie.

Sophie pulled the leash and led the husky into her room.

Sophie’s room was simple: a table, a chair, a bed, and some simple decorations, all arranged by Maria. Sophie herself seemed to have no particular preference for these things and paid little attention to them.

Sitting down by the bed, Leimu took over the body. Her pupils also returned from ruby red to golden amber.

The husky lying on the floor seemed to sense something. It whimpered and slyly looked up.

Leimu reached out and ruffled the husky’s ears, then gave it a few taps on its forehead. Looking at the silly dog that dared not resist in the slightest, she remembered something that might be very interesting.

—Bestowal of Name.

In another world Leimu knew, there was a special mechanism called Bestowal of Name. High-level monsters would share a portion of their magicules with low-level monsters through this process, thus promoting the evolution of the low-level monsters.

Naturally, there was no such rule as Bestowal of Name in the Marvel world, but similar operational methods were not absent.

At its core, it was merely the transmission and fusion of energy, very easy…

So, ‘Sophie, I’m leaving it to you.’

‘Reporting, understood.’
