Chapter 1159: Convergence

In the very moment before the black fog engulfed Iceman, Blink saved him, sparing Ancient One from having to rescue yet another person. Lin Rui, on the other hand, used the power of the Magic Cube to open a Portal, instantly escaping Dormammu’s attack.

He didn’t know for sure if Ancient One would arrive in time and didn’t want to take the risk.

Initially, Lin Rui had planned to use the Magic Cube’s power to save the others trapped in the black fog, but it turned out to be unnecessary. After returning to the Spaceship, Lin Rui felt a bit drained due to the use of his Limit Burst Field and the repeated activation of the Magic Cube. He took a moment to catch his breath.

Therefore, after the Spaceship was transported away from the battlefield by Ancient One, Lin Rui instructed J.A.R.V.I.S to summon the others back using the Iron Man suits. The words he had spoken to Star-Lord earlier were indeed related to the information he possessed about Ego.

When Ancient One and King Odin appeared, their conversation above the E Grade Spaceship was not discreet. Therefore, J.A.R.V.I.S had broadcasted their conversation in real-time throughout the cockpit.

Although Lin Rui had just returned and was weakened, he had also heard Ego’s self-introduction. Upon hearing Ego’s introduction, Lin Rui was equally shocked, but he quickly regained his composure.

While Ego’s appearance didn’t precisely match Lin Rui’s memory of the original storyline, he accepted the current situation as a variation in the plot.

Besides, given that Star-Lord had just faced a life-threatening situation, Ego’s appearance seemed somewhat plausible. After all, Ego was indeed Star-Lord’s biological father. However, this father had never fulfilled his duties and responsibilities as a parent.

It was Lin Rui’s knowledge of Star-Lord’s father that prompted him to call out to Star-Lord earlier. If Lin Rui hadn’t mentioned that he had some knowledge about Star-Lord’s father, Star-Lord might not have snapped out of his daze so quickly and entered the E Grade Spaceship without hesitation.

“Jackson, what’s the current situation…” Tony looked at Lin Rui with a perplexed expression, not knowing how to inquire about the current situation.

Originally, Tony and the others had risked a great deal to activate the E Grade Spaceship through the Portal because they believed in Lin Rui.

However, now that Ancient One, King Odin, and Star-Lord’s father had taken action, they found themselves unable to intervene further. Moreover, they were uncertain about how to proceed in the current circumstances.

“Cough Cough. Since Ancient One, King Odin, and Star-Lord’s father have all intervened, we shouldn’t interfere any further, and frankly, we can’t. As for the ultimate outcome over there, I believe it will be favorable,” Lin Rui coughed twice before responding to Tony’s inquiry.

In the original storyline as Lin Rui knew it, when Dormammu came to Earth, Ancient One had already perished at the hands of Kaecilius, and the newly trained Stephen Strange had to confront Dormammu on his own.

Ultimately, Strange had used the Eye of Agamotto, the Time Infinity Stone, to create an endless time loop, trapping Dormammu and nearly driving him insane before finally leaving.

Now, Ancient One hadn’t perished, albeit they were injured. With the help of King Odin and Ego, their chances of victory were undoubtedly greater than those of the newly-trained Doctor Strange against Dormammu in the original storyline.

However, these were all Lin Rui’s conjectures, and he couldn’t predict how the battle would change without Stephen Strange’s involvement.

“Very well,” Tony and the others perked up upon hearing Lin Rui’s response. The current situation was indeed extraordinary.

Star-Lord, although prone to impulsiveness, wasn’t entirely clueless. After entering the cockpit, he had recognized Lin Rui, who was wearing the Phantom Suit. Despite the tension, he pushed Peter aside and rushed toward Lin Rui, eager to know more about the mysterious man who claimed to be his father.

“Jackson! Do you really know? Who is that guy?!” Star-Lord hurriedly entered the cockpit, brushing past those around Lin Rui and bombarding him with questions.

Peter, who had been shoved aside, called out, “Hey, be careful!”

Initially, Lin Rui wasn’t in great shape, and Star-Lord’s unreserved inquiries didn’t help. Moreover, the Earth-side team had come to rescue Star-Lord, and yet, he showed no gratitude. Instead, he was asking about the mysterious man.

“Spider-Man, help me up,” Lin Rui said, reaching out to Peter, who understood why Star-Lord was so anxious.

As Star-Lord prepared to push Peter aside again, Lin Rui had already risen from the floor. Without waiting for further questioning, Lin Rui began to speak.

“I do have some information, but right now, there are more pressing matters. I’ll tell you what you want to know later.” Lin Rui looked calmly at Star-Lord.

“Okay,” Star-Lord, now slightly calmer, agreed. The current situation was indeed not ordinary.

Although Star-Lord was impulsive, he wasn’t ignorant. Drax, who had entered with him, had also heard Star-Lord’s urgent inquiries. Therefore, he stood quietly by Star-Lord’s side, observing the others in the cockpit.

Despite Star-Lord having previously told Drax and Gamora about Lin Rui and Deadpool’s arrival on Earth, seeing them in person piqued Drax’s interest. Moreover, the people from Star-Lord’s homeworld that they were meeting now were entirely different from the ones he had introduced earlier.

Once Star-Lord had settled down, Lin Rui and Iceman, with the help of their companions, slowly found seats. Their explosive performances as the vanguard against Dormammu had earned them everyone’s respect. However, the current situation called for a different focus.

When footsteps were heard once again from the passage at the back of the cockpit, everyone’s attention shifted once more. Soon, two figures, one tall and one small, appeared in the passage. It was Gamora and Rocket Raccoon, coming over.
