Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 569 - 569

Asgard

Listening to the alternate Thor's words, the Warriors Three and others were all stunned—Thor himself was no exception.

His parents... Frigga... Loki... all dead?

Thor didn't want to believe it.

Even just imagining such a scenario filled him with despair.

If merely thinking about it felt this painful, how much worse must it have been for that version of him in the other universe?

"How could something like this happen..." Thor murmured.

At that moment, Odin, frowning deeply, said gravely, "Had your brother Baldr not existed, Ragnarok would have already come to pass..."

He paused and didn't continue.

But though he stopped speaking, Thor and the others clearly understood the unspoken meaning.

Which was to say: what the other Thor had experienced... could very well be true.

Asgard's destruction, Odin, Frigga, Loki, and their people all perishing one after another...

The Warriors Three and Heimdall felt a chill run down their spines.

Thor, shocked and dazed, also couldn't help but accept that such a future was possible.

He whispered with a hint of relief, "Thankfully... my brother exists. Otherwise..."

He couldn't bear to imagine that terrible scene.

And as he thought of that, he cast a look of sympathy toward the Thor from the parallel universe.

...

On Earth, at the scene—

After listening to the alternate Thor's account, Coulson and the others imagined the possibility—and found it hard to deny.

"So... Captain," Coulson asked cautiously, "you all came to our universe to collect the six Infinity Stones and restore the other half of the universe's life?"

Black Widow, Steve, and the rest immediately nodded.

Coulson scratched his head awkwardly. "Well... the problem is, none of the Stones are scattered."

"They're all in the hands of the White-Clad Hero. We have no way of retrieving them for you."

"In fact... there's probably no one in this universe who can take them from him."

"Unless... he's willing to give them to you."

Coulson looked around and added in a more serious tone, "That means, Captain, it's up to your ability to persuade him."

"But I'd strongly suggest not trying to take them by force. That would be... unwise."

Of course, Thor and the rest understood the message loud and clear.

Hawkeye forced a chuckle. "You don't need to say it—we know. We're not crazy enough to try and rob a Creator God."

Though he didn't say it out loud, there was still some skepticism in his heart.

Is the Creator God really as powerful as they say?

Since they hadn't witnessed it firsthand, and given the limited intel, some of them still harbored doubts. Maybe it was all a bit exaggerated?

Even if the White-Clad Hero wasn't as omnipotent as claimed... he was still far beyond their level.

After all, reviving the dead—reversing life and death—was already beyond comprehension.

Captain Steve nodded. "Coulson, we understand."

Then he looked up at the sky.

Floating above, clad in pure white and radiating divine mystery, the White-Clad Hero watched over them in silence.

Steve hesitated, then stepped forward and spoke with solemn respect:

"Unknown Creator God, may we... borrow the Infinity Stones?"

"We'll only use them once. We'll return them immediately after."

Hulk quickly chimed in, "Yeah! We promise—we'll give them back right after we're done!"

Beside them, Natasha and the others looked up with hope, their eyes full of quiet pleading.

Thor shifted awkwardly. "B-brother..."

His face flushed red—he wanted to speak, but didn't know how.

High in the sky, Syd opened his eyes and calmly looked down at them.

A thought crossed his mind, and he summoned the Infinity Gauntlet.

As the six radiant gems glittered in the light, Clint and the others couldn't hide their joy.

Syd's voice rang out—serene, cold, unfathomable:

"You want this?"

"Do you understand the importance these Infinity Stones hold to this universe?"

"If the Stones are removed... this universe loses one of its greatest defenses."

"What if something goes wrong, and you fail to return them?"

His tone was calm—yet it felt like divine judgment itself. The voice of cosmic truth echoed in their ears.

The group froze, stunned.

Then Hulk spoke up hastily, "Nothing will go wrong! We'll return them for sure! Creator God, please believe us!"

Syd didn't respond. He merely curled his lip in secret.

You say that now, Banner...

But he hadn't forgotten what happened in their universe—how the Space Stone was lost when Loki stole it due to their carelessness.

Because of that disruption, the Time Variance Authority ended up arresting Loki.

And the Space Stone? It was never returned.

What if something similar happened with these?

In the multiverse, anything was possible.

That said... for him, the Infinity Stones weren't all that crucial anymore.

As he pondered this, his thoughts turned toward the power of Creation—the divine ability of the God he was emulating.

At that moment—

...

On the ground, near Stark Tower—

A portal of golden sparks opened beside Thor and the others.

Out stepped a woman in yellow robes—the Ancient One.

Everyone blinked.

"Who's this?"

They weren't familiar with her, but the magic circle of golden sparks was something they did recognize.

Magic.

That meant... this woman was likely a powerful sorcerer.

Captain America and the others frowned slightly, already sensing something was off.

Sure enough—

The Ancient One walked forward, bowed respectfully to Syd, and said:

"Greetings, Great Creator God."

Then, pausing, she added,

"Creator God, I must warn that handing over all six Infinity Stones to these outsiders carries great risk."

"What?" Rocket shouted angrily. "What the hell are you saying?!"

"What do you mean it's risky to give them to us?!"

Natasha and the others also frowned—clearly sharing the same sentiment.

The Ancient One turned to them calmly. "Giving you the Infinity Stones may save your reality..."

"But what about ours?"

"If we lose all six Stones, this world will be left defenseless against the forces of darkness."
