Lin Feng fell silent, his expression darkening.
If the Outsider had truly reached beyond the fourth wall, they could obliterate all universes with a single stroke.
He regretted badgering the system for this information.
Save me... I'm still just a child!
"So you had me transmigrate because I'm a native from beyond the fourth wall?" Lin Feng asked, his face contorted.
"Yes!" the system replied affirmatively.
"You originate from beyond the fourth wall, holding uniqueness across all universes. Even if they erase all universes, you will not vanish!"
"In other words, the host possesses ample opportunity for a counterattack!"
"And the host need not worry excessively. For countless ages, the Outsiders have never found a way to reach beyond the fourth wall. Despite capturing many Deadpool variants from various universes, they have achieved nothing."
"Currently, we have ample time. Let's lie low and develop!"
"Alright..."
Lin Feng sighed, processing the terrifying information.
The ultimate goal of the Outsiders was to reach Blue Star, beyond the fourth wall.
Whatever their intentions, they wouldn't be good.
Fortunately, he still had enough time to develop!
Lin Feng was not a pessimist. Whatever fate brought, he would embrace it.
He had initially thought his Superman template was a game-changer.
Who knew it was merely an appetizer.
Now, Lin Feng was even more eager to upgrade his Superman template!
The next day, Lin Feng set off back to his own Marvel universe.
As he left, he carried a large pile of gifts, all pressed upon him by Steve and the others.
Lin Feng felt a bit embarrassed, so he took out the enhanced Life Tree leaves gifted by the system and gave everyone a packet.
This was an enhanced version of the tea Lin Feng had given to the Ancient One, with even greater efficacy.
It possessed formidable healing abilities, capable of treating all known ailments.
Furthermore, it revitalized human cells, ensuring that as long as there was a breath left, recovery was virtually assured.
Everyone was astonished and gratefully accepted the gifts, showing no hesitation.
The allure of the leaves was simply too strong! According to Lin Feng, it could even make people younger! No one could refuse it!
Notably, before Lin Feng departed, he asked Tony for a Mark 85 nano-suit.
Tony was initially reluctant, but upon seeing the enhanced Life Tree leaves he held, he sighed and crafted one for him.
However, he instructed Lin Feng not to give it to a past Tony Stark, as it would create unpredictable butterfly effects.
Lin Feng smiled and nodded in agreement, though his mind was elsewhere.
He had transmigrated from beyond the fourth wall.
This place was akin to his second home, and he would not stand by if the Outsiders caused any harm.
To prevent future trouble, Lin Feng felt it necessary to take proactive measures.
He wanted to equip all the superheroes on Earth, at least to a level where each could tear apart Thanos!
A rough plan began to form in Lin Feng's mind.
Bidding farewell to everyone, Lin Feng departed the parallel universe amidst a flash of light.
Guided by the system, Lin Feng returned to a familiar place!
The universe he had transmigrated from!
It was good to be back in familiar outer space...
"System!" Lin Feng called out.
"Where did you send the Silver Superman template?"
The system popped up.
"To a planet with life! I have its coordinates, shall the host retrieve it now?"
Lin Feng scratched his head, "Can't you bring it back?"
"I cannot!"
"Alright, I'll head home first. Then I'll go get it."
"It's been two months. Susan and the others must be worried."
Lin Feng felt it best to return first.
If he were to evolve into Silver Superman now, it would take another two months.
Without informing Susan, she would worry.
Moreover, after two months away, Lin Feng hadn't rested and needed to relax.
After all, the system had said that even if someone else found it, they wouldn't be able to use it.
This item was bound to Lin Feng!
Having made up his mind, Lin Feng soared towards Earth.
New York City was in the dead of night.
Lin Feng descended silently from the sky, landing in his own villa.
The villa was brightly lit. Lin Feng took out his key and walked towards the main entrance.
Susan was sitting inside the villa, her brow furrowed as she stared at her computer screen.
On the screen was a news report.
Tony Stark had been attacked by an unknown force today.
His villa on Marble Street had been ravaged by helicopter gunfire.
To date, Tony Stark's whereabouts were unknown, with evidence suggesting that Iron Man Tony Stark was already dead.
This news had been released in the afternoon, and Tony's villa had been bombed earlier that day.
Susan knew Tony was one of Lin Feng's few friends, and she felt Lin Feng would be devastated if Tony truly perished.
But currently, Lin Feng was nowhere to be found, and she couldn't reach him.
She hesitantly touched the bracelet Lin Feng had given her.
Perhaps she could help in some way?
*Click!*
The sudden sound of the door opening interrupted Susan's thoughts.
Her heart leaped, and she lifted her head to look.
It was Lin Feng!
"Lin! You're back!" Susan cried out with joy, rushing to hug Lin Feng and plant a kiss on him.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and after two months apart, they had missed each other dearly!
Without time to fully express their longing after weeks apart, they exchanged brief greetings before Susan pulled Lin Feng to the sofa.
"Lin! Tony's in trouble!" Susan said, pulling the laptop closer and showing it to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng blinked in surprise. Tony was in trouble?
He quickly scanned the news, his eyes darting across the screen.
The computer screen replayed Tony Stark's taunts and the bombing of the Marble villa.
Finally, various reports indicated Tony Stark's whereabouts were unknown, his life uncertain.
Lin Feng understood. This was the plot of Iron Man 3.
Good heavens, Tony was certainly living up to his reputation.
Not only did he openly provoke the so-called Mandarin, but he also revealed the address of his own villa!
Truly... bold to the point of recklessness?
Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle, but then he worried if Tony might be suffering from anxiety, just like in the original story.
Susan looked at Lin Feng in surprise. "Lin! Why are you smiling?"
Had Lin Feng gone mad while he was away? His good friend's life was in peril, and he could still laugh?
Lin Feng waved his hand. "Don't worry, don't worry. Tony is fine. He's alive."
"You know?" Susan blinked, then nodded thoughtfully.
She knew Lin Feng possessed super vision and super hearing. She had blushed furiously when she first discovered his ability to see through things.
Lin Feng nodded. "Yes, I know!"
Lin Feng remembered the Mark 85 armor in his spatial storage and an idea sparked in his mind...
"I'm going out to see Tony! I'll be back shortly!"
Hearing this, Susan pouted. They hadn't seen each other for two months, and he was leaving again as soon as he returned!
However, Susan also knew that this was important and did not try to stop him.
And so, Lin Feng, who had barely returned home and had no time to rest, embarked on another journey.
