Rather than leaving the infinity stones outside, where they might be coveted by people with ulterior motives or even stolen to commit evil deeds, it was better to keep them directly with Peter, the strongest being here.
At least, no one would dare to plot against him unless they were tired of living.
Besides,
Peter had already proven his stance with his actions.
Coupled with the bond between him and Tony, Tony’s innate trust in him was quite high to begin with.
After Peter displayed numerous abilities, Tony gradually lowered his guard against him.
As for Tony’s only doubt: why Peter wasn’t as strong before the Blip as he was now.
Peter could only tell him this: “I don’t know either, it just ended up like this right after I woke up!”
Rather than telling a seemingly reasonable lie and then having to use even more things to cover it up, it was better to just say he didn’t know and let people gradually uncover the secrets themselves bit by bit.
During this process, as long as he didn’t stand on the opposite side of Tony and the others, there were many things they would naturally find reasons and excuses for him.
After all, no one would willingly and inexplicably offend an entity with absolutely overwhelming strength.
And looking at the infinite nano-gauntlet now, Peter naturally didn’t want to snap his fingers to resurrect Ancient One, but rather…
These six infinity stones were not things from this space-time!
The reason they delayed the time to return them was out of fear that if any other unexpected situations arose, they could borrow the power of the stones once again.
But looking at it now, the power of the stones had very little effect under the current circumstances.
After all, it had already been proven that the infinity stones could not restrain the demonized virus.
So right now, it was best to return the six infinity stones.
As it happened, the time stone among these six infinity stones was borrowed by Dr.
Banner from Sorcerer Ancient One when he went to the scene of the 2012 New York Battle.
So theoretically speaking, when going back to return the stones, he would be able to see Sorcerer Ancient One along the way!
However, before returning them, after some discussion, they still decided to try snapping the fingers one more time.
Peter would still be the one to do it.
Amidst the same snapping sound, cosmic-grade energy centered on Peter and spread rapidly across the entire known Universe at a speed exceeding light.
After snapping his fingers, Peter directly spread his Superman perception across the entire Base.
Tony and the others also earnestly stared at their dark purple “kylin arms”.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Hope was completely shattered!
Facts proved that this demonized virus was indeed something that transcended the infinity stones, an existence that even the infinity stones could not affect.
With no other choice, they still had to go find Sorcerer Ancient One to see if there was any way.
No sooner said than done.
After Peter voiced his thoughts, which coincided with Strange’s ideas, Tony and the others no longer stopped him.
Leaving another Universe’s stones here, causing the other party’s Universe to potentially collapse at any time, was also not good.
This time, sending the stones back definitely couldn’t be left to Steve.
Even Strange, who proposed the plan, wasn’t very suitable to go.
The quantum tunnel was very dangerous, and entering it carried the risk of being infected with the demonized virus.
So the only one who could go was naturally left as Peter.
His inherent Superman Field could directly isolate the demonized virus; even if there really was any in the quantum tunnel, he wouldn’t fear it at all.
Fortunately, Scott’s minivan quantum tunnel with its own BGM was not completely destroyed in Avengers: Endgame.
After a little repair, it could be put back into use once again.
After quickly memorizing the times and locations where the six stones needed to be returned in his mind, Peter put on the shuttle suit and stood in front of the quantum tunnel.
First, he went to Vormir.
This was the location of the soul stone.
In fact, the “plot” of this Universe had already been rewritten.
Because originally the soul stone of this Universe required Thanos to trade Gamora for it, but now it had been changed to trading the life of the future Hawkeye.
That’s right, Peter had a conversation with Natasha before he learned why she was still alive while Hawkeye was dead.
The reason was very simple.
While scrambling to rush to their deaths in exchange for the soul stone, Natasha couldn’t outcompete Hawkeye, so he died and Natasha survived.
Just this point alone was different from the plot in Peter’s memory.
However, since the plot had completely collapsed anyway, Peter felt it didn’t matter anymore.
Besides, barring any accidents, this Universe would eventually be pruned by the TVA.
After dropping off the soul stone, he turned and headed to the next time point.
They were all returned by him one by one.
Under the influence of his Field, he could be described as truly coming and going without a trace, much quieter than the chaos Tony and the others made when executing the Time Heist plan.
Finally, there was the most important time stone.
With a flash and a familiar time travel, Peter arrived in a very chaotic New York.
Chitauri Leviathan ships flew down from the sky…
Chitauri flying chariots roared past everywhere between buildings…
There were also a large number of Chitauri soldiers opening fire on the streets…
Obviously, this was the 2012 New York Battle.
Which was the content of Avengers 1.
Looking at Hulk bouncing around on the skyscrapers in the distance, Peter shook his head slightly.
Although Dr.
Hulk with his integrated personality in the Avengers: Endgame era looked pretty good, Banner’s rationality restrained Hulk’s wildness, which instead caused Hulk’s berserk power to be lost.
Theoretically speaking, Hulk in the Avengers: Endgame era was actually inferior to the Avengers 1 period, and Hulk during the Avengers 1 period was not as good as the original Incredible Hulk.
Then he saw the younger versions of Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Black Widow.
“Wow, my youth has returned, I actually get to watch a live-action version of the movie, a 5D immersive movie viewing experience,” Peter couldn’t help exclaiming.
Just at this moment, his Superman Spider-Sense twitched slightly.
Sure enough, the next moment, a portal was thrown right beside him.
Opposite the portal was a bald female magician wearing bright yellow mage robes.
It was none other than the Sorcerer Supreme of this period—Ancient One!
“Hello, traveler of time,” Ancient One scrutinized Peter, her expression suddenly changing, “Your soul is very Strange. You are Peter Parker, yet not the real Peter Parker. Who are you?”
Hearing this, Peter was also slightly surprised.
He hadn’t expected that Ancient One would see through some of his background at a single glance.
He stepped across the portal, came to the roof of the New York Sanctuary, and stood in front of Ancient One.
“Hello Sorcerer Ancient One, I am indeed Peter Parker. However, some Strange things happened to me, which made me very strong, stronger than most things in the Universe. To be honest, I still don’t know why up to now,” Peter’s words were half-true and half-false.
He really didn’t know what that “system”-like thing at the beginning actually was, or why it only beeped once and then went completely silent.
