Gu Yi shook his head with a wry smile, he was still slack, and when he stepped into this dimension fragment rashly, he had already lost.

The guy who plotted against himself obviously knew the true power of the Eye of Agamotto, and knew how to reverse the flow of time, and this time gem, which was supposed to be a game-breaker, turned into the biggest cage that imprisoned the ancient one.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, that 'Dreamer' has already won her a game.

"Now, we have won the biggest problem." Mu Feng opened his eyes and raised his glass with a big smile.

"This game is my victory!"

12. The price of gems

Each Infinity Stone is powerful, they contain the truth of the birth of this universe, and each one has the terrifying power that links the origin of the universe.

They are not important in themselves. What is important is the source of the power of the universe that is linked behind the material manifestation of the 'gem'.

But no Infinity Stone can play its full effect alone.

It is like this universe is constructed in countless physical laws and complex and changeable orders. A single gem cannot form a powerful force. It can even be said that each single infinite gem has huge defects.

The seemingly omnipotent reality gem requires the user to continuously supply energy to complete the real change of reality, and if the understanding and conception of matter is not enough, this gem will only drain the user himself, and other gems are Empowering, and only the Reality Gem is extracting power.

The mind gem that plays with the mind, the powerful gem that can control the thoughts of living beings, can control almost everything that has thinking. The premise of control must also be based on the strength of your mind. If the mind is not strong enough, then the behavior of control will be There is no guarantee, and there may even be a terrible backlash.

The incomparably powerful Power Gem can give life the power to shatter the stars, but such a simple and rude gem has great requirements on the user itself, and the user who is not strong enough will only be eroded by its power while urging the Power Gem. even crushed.

Soul gems that can play with life and death, can arbitrarily control or even create souls out of nothing, the infinite gems with a pocket universe are extremely precious. But the gem that plays with the soul itself has a hungry soul, and the abuser will only end up being swallowed by the gem itself.

The ubiquitous space gems endow human beings with the ability to travel to all corners of the universe, with never-ending energy. But any user will broadcast his presence to the stars like a torch of darkness, and that never-ending energy will only eventually run rampant in an ever-increasing demand.

And what about the time gem that allows you to travel to the past and future?

The pit on this thing is the biggest.

Time gems allow the holder to control past, present, and future time, time travel, accelerated time, reverse time, time chaos, and even an infinite loop of time.

But the time gem can't really change the past, the reality that seems to change will only lead you to failure and a miserable future driven by the law of causality.

It’s like you use the time gem to change the tragedy of the past, then the law of causality will inevitably produce a paradox that will make you encounter some kind of causal invasion, and the final result of misusing the time gem will often fall into the torture of unimaginable time, constantly creating. Loop forever within the perfect moment to escape.

The flaw of the time gem is so huge, so no matter how tragic the ending of the Avengers is, it is impossible for Strange to use this gem to go back to the past, and he can't even use the gem to change the fact that his hands are disabled, the established sacredness The time stream cannot be arbitrarily rewritten.

Those who try to change the present through the past will only end up at the worst.

For the Supreme Mages, the Eye of Agamotto is their strongest secret weapon, and also their most vigilant and most helpless 'abnormal thing'

Anyone who attempts to use the Eye of Agamotto to achieve their own goals will pay a heavy price, or in other words, the cost and the gain are equal.

"Strange used the time gem to trap Dormammu and him in a loop. Countless 'deaths' were the price he paid, and the gain was to repel the Lord of the Dark Dimension."

Mu Feng played with the shining cosmic Rubik's Cube in his hand and said happily

"Gu Yi is the same this time. In order to stop Egg, she trapped herself and Egg in the endless cycle of Emerald Dream Fragments. But the difference is that it was Egg's dream, so he was The one who has forgotten countless cycles, and Gu Yi, is the one who has experienced endless torture."

"The initiative is now in our hands, the price and the gain. Sure enough, the original power of the universe is not so easy to take."

Trapping Gu Yi in Egg's dream is Mu Feng's most important plan puzzle. After all, if you don't subdue the defenders of this world, there will be nothing to talk about.

But Mu Feng did not think that Gu Yi would be trapped in that time loop forever.

Never underestimate the wisdom of the Supreme Master, not to mention that there are still 'people' behind Gu Yi.

Although it was only mentioned once by Star-Lord in the movie universe, the existence of 'eternity' in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is probably an established fact.

But enough, before Gu Yi gets out of trouble, Mu Feng will complete all the planned distribution - and make sure that Gu Yi will not trouble him again after getting out of trouble.

"Looks like you've had enough to eat?"

Feeling Sataras' charming laughter echoing in his mind, Mu Feng said lightly.

"Thanks to you, I'm really lucky to have met such an 'interesting' planetary soul."

There was a joy and laziness in Sataras' voice that could not be concealed.

"But it will take me a lot of work to control that weird human being, and I'm afraid I won't be able to digest it for a while..."

"However, my dear, you are really the most suitable one for me of all the holders I have met. Perhaps, you should consider entering into a deeper contract with me?"

"Don't make a mistake, creation of the void." Mu Feng said indifferently.

"You and I are not cooperating, but using. Everything you have now comes from my gift, even if you take it back, you'd better not have any stupid luck!"

"Hmph, you're so boring."

Satalas snorted lightly, then withdrew his voice and fell into silence.

As Mu Feng said, Sataras is his tool rather than his partner. Although maintaining a good cooperative relationship is more helpful to Mu Feng's plan, he does not want to do so.

No matter how special it is, Sataras is essentially a creation of the void, and her tendency to self-destruct is clear. In other places, it's fine. Falling into such a terrifyingly dangerous zone as Marvel is a must.

Beating one or two more times will save this guy from plotting things that shouldn't be plotted!

"Okay, the biggest problem has been solved." Mu Feng twisted his neck, stretched his stiff body, and smiled happily and maliciously.

"Time to buy Stark Industries."

...

"Fisk, this is not what we said!"

In Stark Industries, Obadiah's blue-veined left hand grabbed a pair of mobile phones, his eyes widened and he roared at the other end.

"You agreed to solve him!!!"

"We never promised anything, Obadiah Stani." On the other end of the phone came Kim Bing's indifferent voice

"We're not the professional killers you hired. If you want him to die like that, you can spend money to find those guys at the Continental Hotel."

Then, Kim unceremoniously hung up the phone of the current head of Stark Industries.

"Damn fat rat!"

Obadiah grabbed the phone and roared to smash the wall, but he held back and quickly found the number marked 'hotel' in the address book.

But Obadiah hesitated when his fingers hovered over the option to dial out.

He wanted Mu Feng to die, no doubt about it.

Because this **** aggressively shorted Stark Industries some time ago, after Tony was plotted against him, his assets on hand can be said to have skyrocketed exponentially.

However, he obviously did not keep the money in the bank to depreciate and mold, but quickly launched a sniping at Stark Industries.

The entire Stark Group and its many subsidiaries were attacked by the other party in the financial market within a day.

Under that huge cash flow offensive, the Stark Group, which was as strong as steel, was instantly killed in the stock market and disarmed.

The most important reason for this is Tony's disappearance.

Although Obadiah's distorted self-esteem made him very reluctant to admit it, the Stark father and son have always been the soul and backbone of the Stark group.

When Howard died unexpectedly, the once prosperous Stark Group was brought to the brink of crisis, and when Tony showed his genius weapon designer and proved that he was better than Howard, the Stark Group regained the Approved by the capital market.

The Stark family is not only the source of countless powerful technologies of Stark Industries, but also exists as their signature.

More importantly, Tony did not leave any heirs before his disappearance this time, which means that once Tony's death is confirmed, the huge property of the Stark family will have no successor.

Of course, it can be expected that if Tony really dies, then countless guys who claim to be his sons, daughters, distant relatives and the like will come up and demand to divide up the inheritance.

But in any case, Stark's genocide will completely bring Stark's industry to a standstill. Obadiah knows this too well.

He originally wanted to short himself and then repurchase the stocks on the market to give himself the initiative of Stark Industries, and finally stage a big show of "turning the tide", but now... he is afraid that he is going to make a wedding dress for others.

Mu Feng, this bastard, is almost 30% higher than Obadiah's premium to scavenge the market regardless of the price. He has already obtained 11% of the controlling stake in Stark Industries - this is completely higher than his 100%. Five of the second largest shareholder.

Continue to let him sweep the goods, and I am afraid that in the end, he will at least hold more than 24% of the shares of Stark Group-in many large companies, this is almost equivalent to holding a controlling stake.

Obadiah will never allow his hard work for many years to fall into the hands of a stranger!

Regardless of whether he has the ability to bring Stark Industries back to life, Obadiah, who has still worked for Stark and his son for a lifetime, does not want to continue working as a migrant worker.

Obadiah narrowed his eyes, looked at the phone of the Continental Hotel in his hand, and finally put his hand down.

It's not that he's cowardly, it's just that he's more rational.

As an upstream supplier who has secretly provided heavy firepower to the gangsters in Hell's Kitchen many times, Obadiah knows exactly what kind of person Jin is.

Just by the name he gave himself, Kingpin, he knew what kind of self and what kind of self-respecting guy this self-proclaimed king of the underworld was.

Even if he doesn't trade with his own interests, it is impossible to simply give up the promised mission, but this time... he took the risk of offending Obadiah and withdrew from the assassination.

There is only one possibility - in this assassination, Mu Feng showed the power that made Jin and fearful, and showed more fearful ability or power than him Obadiah Stein.

So what was it that made Jin and fear him? power? money? strength?

Obadiah couldn't understand, but he knew he shouldn't take the risk. He has withdrawn from the phone address book of the Continental Hotel, and now hire a killer to deal with him, then it will be endless!

Thinking of this, he called his secretary and gave a brief order.

"Arrange a dinner with Mr. Mu Feng."

Since they are both businessmen, they should go back to the business table and talk slowly.

13. Carve up Stark

The clean white restaurant hall, the dome is decorated with gold powder, and this "Washington Ascension Map" is painted with 100% restoration degree. Nuoda's slender dining table imitates the style of European aristocrats, and the candles of the silver candlesticks are placed from one end to the other, making this unlit room reveal an elegant and luxurious taste.

From the chairs looking out of the dining room, you can see the towering old complex, built with four townhouses, filled with a wealth of elegant 18th century Piedmont antiques, paintings and artifacts. Barbetta, with its outdoor garden and courtyard, is one of the oldest and most expensive restaurants in New York, and has the highest Michelin rating among New York's many three-star restaurants.

But to be honest, real dignitaries rarely come to such places.

After any good restaurant is touted by the media, especially this kind of media that promotes luxury and high class, it will quickly change from a niche noble brand to a popular vulgar restaurant.

Many middle-class and small capitalists who are eager to get rich overnight, or simply come to 'Versailles' flood this Barbetta restaurant. The Italian owner here has done a very successful promotion, but the result is that there are almost no There will be real big shots coming.

However, tonight, Obadiah invited Mu Feng to eat here, and then look at the meal he ordered-the huge king crab seemed out of place in this atmosphere.

This guy's upstart attributes are simply unobstructed.

As we all know, the United States is a country without aristocracy, but even so, this land still has its own "noble"

The 'old money', that is, the old capitalists, is the nobility of this country.

Discrimination chains are never boring. In this country, the old money despise the emerging bourgeoisie, and the new assets will despise the nouveau riche. formed.

In fact, even the Stark family has only barely stepped into the threshold of 'old money'. The accumulation of wealth and wealth of three generations of capitalists is obviously not enough. After all, looking at Tony's virtue, we know that he has not received much seriousness from Howard. educate.

Obadiah is the lower level in this contempt chain, an out-and-out upstart, an upstart who barely managed to get into the upper class by fighting with the genius Howard.

However, it is often such a person who always thinks that he has a world-shattering talent, thinks that he is underappreciated, and then acts self-righteously.

But in fact, incompetent waste is always waste!

This stupid old man is not as useful as Justin Hammer, at least the latter's Hammer industry is made from scratch by others, and then look at Obadiah, tsk tsk tsk...

The dinner lasted for more than an hour. Obadiah tried his best to pretend to be elegant and calm, but every time he tried to raise a topic, he would be silently despised by Mu Feng with a smile because of his ignorance.

So in the end, Obadiah didn't even speak, and just concentrated on dealing with the king crab in front of him.

This idiot might now think that I am the heir of some big family, Mu Feng thought to himself.

This is not a bad thing, Mu Feng is not afraid of trouble, but he is too lazy to deal with those who are not. Now what he is doing must be on the list of S.H.I.E.L.D., if he wants to play, he still has to take his time.

"Three rounds of wine, Mr. Obadiah, I think we should get into today's theme."

Mu Feng put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Obadiah who was wiping the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, and smiled.

"You invited me to dinner today, should it be to discuss matters about Stark Industries?"

"Mr. Mu, there is no need for you to target our Stark Industries like this." Obadiah still looks like a good uncle who is hard-working.

"Tony's whereabouts are unknown until now. He will come back sooner or later. You have made a lot of money by shorting our company. It's time to stop."

"Are you threatening me? As the nation's largest arms dealer? Mr. Obadiah Stein?"

Mu Feng crossed his fingers and smiled brightly

"Or... as a traitor to the Stark Group who betrayed his nephew?"

Obadiah's eyes narrowed slightly, but his strong psychological quality still made him lock all the horror in his heart

"I don't understand what you said at all."

"I mean, we are all raccoon dogs on the same hill." Mu Feng spread his hands and shrugged.

"Look, we're all shorting Tony's company, we're all diluting his equity, we're all eating the Stark family's legacy, and in his eyes we're all vultures that devour his parents' assets. So, we're the same kind. what."

Obadiah secretly sighed, as long as the boy opposite is not sure about his relationship with Tony's disappearance.

Even if the whole world knows that you did some things, as long as there is no evidence, then it has nothing to do with you!
