Leon Vance pressed the final key and let out a long sigh of relief.
He had crossed into this world some time ago.
It closely resembled the one from his previous life.
Unfortunately, he had not been granted any extraordinary ability, and he had even struggled to obtain a legal identity.
Relying on the video-editing skills he had acquired in his previous life, he barely managed to make a living, but deep down, he had always longed for greater opportunities.
Then, the “Dimensional Platform” sent him an invitation.
As long as he produced high-quality, popular videos, he would receive generous rewards.
He decided to give it a try and began planning a series called “The Top Ten Heroes of Marvel,” with Spider-Man as the subject of the first video.
After carefully preparing the script, background music, and narration, he came up with the video’s title, “The Top Ten Heroes,” along with a description: Heroes are defined by responsibility and commitment.
The rankings are not in any particular order and are only meant to showcase their deeds.
Once everything was complete, he uploaded the video to the platform and waited.
Meanwhile, in another timeline in New York, Tony Stark had just experienced the turmoil caused by Ivan Vanko.
He sat at a makeshift workbench amid the ruins, with a preliminary Avengers assessment report lying in front of him.
Just as he was about to read it, Fury stopped him.
“Don’t rush to look at that.” Fury handed him another document.
“This is Agent Romanoff’s personal assessment of you.
Take a look at this first.”
Tony took the report and opened it.
His brows gradually knitted together as he read the unfavorable comments filling its pages.
Tony Stark stood in front of Nick Fury, his expression clearly displeased.
He had just been informed that he could only participate in operations as a consultant, which left him extremely dissatisfied.
Pointing at the reactor in his chest, he said agitatedly, “Look at this.
I have a brand-new power source, and I even stopped a disaster not long ago.
“Doesn’t that make me a hero?”
Nick Fury expressionlessly handed him his phone.
Its screen lit up, displaying the interface of an application called the “Dimensional Platform.”
He calmly replied, “It’s too early to draw a conclusion.
“Take a look at the public opinion on this platform.
See how many people support you and how many criticize you.”
Tony Stark frowned.
Although he knew that this platform had recently become popular across the globe, and even throughout the universe, he had never spent much time browsing content like this.
As a scientist who had always focused on technology and industry, he had little interest in it.
A series of video titles rapidly flashed across the screen:
[Breaking!
Tony Stark Caught in Another Scandal, Relationship with a Certain Actress Remains a Mystery!]
[The New King of Asgard Is About to Be Crowned, and the Universe Celebrates!]
[Hulk and a Red Monster Spotted Fighting in the Streets of New York, Heavy Casualties Reported!]
As Fury scrolled through the page, he explained, “The appearance of this platform has made a great deal of information that was once kept strictly confidential, including the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, public knowledge.
“It has even changed the course of the timeline.”
Half a minute later, Tony had already seen several videos criticizing him.
He simply shook his head.
“These people are just jealous of my talent.
How could you possibly take them seriously?”
Suddenly, his gaze stopped on a particular title: [The Top Ten Heroes].
His eyes lit up, and his tone became excited.
“Look at this!
The title says, ‘Regardless of character or personality, rankings are not in any particular order.’ Isn’t this practically made for me?”
He straightened up and confidently said to Fury, “I guarantee I’ll make the list.”
Nick Fury did not answer.
He simply looked at him in silence.
A hint of curiosity flashed through Nick Fury’s eyes.
Most posts on the platform were ordinary day-to-day content, so the sudden appearance of such an unusual topic had piqued even his interest as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
He turned to Tony and teased, “If you’re not on the list, then you can settle for being a consultant.”
With that, Fury opened the video.
Meanwhile, similar scenes were unfolding in various corners of the Marvel Universe.
In Asgard, one of the Nine Realms, cheers and conversations echoed through the magnificent palace.
Many Asgardians raised devices resembling electronic equipment, recording the shocking moment of Thor’s coronation as king.
Seated on the throne and holding the Eternal Spear, Odin looked proudly at his son, who was slowly approaching while holding Mjolnir.
Confidence and majesty radiated from him.
Odin quietly said to his wife beside him, “Spread this moment far and wide.
Let the Nine Realms know their new king.”
Frigga smiled gently, understanding that this was meant to establish Thor’s prestige.
She turned around to look for Loki, only to find him staring down at the coronation video being frantically shared across the Dimensional Platform.
Loki clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger and frustration.
Just as he was preparing to sabotage the ceremony, a title caught his attention: “The Top Ten Heroes.”
The Dimensional Platform had initially been full of interesting content, but the repetition day after day had begun to bore people.
This new topic immediately sparked his interest.
“Hmph.
If even you aren’t on the list, then where does your prestige come from?” Loki muttered with a cold laugh, already calculating whether Thor would make the list.
He desperately wanted to know the result.
If Thor was not on the list, perhaps there would be no need to rely on the Frost Giants, and the coronation ceremony would naturally be called off.
But if Thor made the list, the original plan would proceed as intended.
Just as he was thinking about how to get everyone to watch the video, his mother, Frigga, came to ask him to record a segment.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he suggested, “Mother, why don’t we play this before the ceremony begins?”
Frigga’s eyes lit up when she saw the novel video format.
After obtaining Odin’s approval, she decided to arrange for it to be shown before the ceremony.
Meanwhile, at the apprentice training grounds of Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One and Mordo stood side by side on a high platform, observing the disciples practicing their spells.
The Ancient One remained calm and detached from the chaos around her as she asked lightly, “Have you noticed anything unusual in the recent videos?”
Although the Dimensional Platform had altered the course of the timeline, it had significantly improved their efficiency in dealing with threats from the Dark Dimension, something the Ancient One was quite pleased with.
Mordo respectfully replied, “Nothing unusual so far.
However, the platform has recently introduced a new type of content titled ‘The Top Ten Heroes.’ I believe it is worth your attention.”
Admiration colored his voice.
Although he had not watched the content himself, he firmly believed that the Ancient One would certainly rank near the top.
The Ancient One’s pupils shifted slightly upon hearing this.
She remained composed on the surface, but her curiosity was already piqued.
She nodded, signaling for the video to be played.
Inside an old apartment in Queens, New York, an excited young voice rang out.
“Parker, did you see the video I filmed today?
I actually managed to capture Spider-Man!
And it even got more than nine hundred likes!”
“Ned, maybe you should just forget it.
This platform might not really be suitable for you.”
Peter Parker lay on his bed, speaking softly as he looked at the screen of his phone.
At that moment, his friend Ned was leaning against the other end of the bed, excitedly going through the video he had filmed.
In the video, Spider-Man leaped forward and stopped a runaway car, saving an elderly woman.
Ned happened to be passing by and recorded the entire scene on his phone.
Peter had quietly followed Ned’s account, so naturally, he had also seen the video.
But there was no denying that Ned’s filming skills were not exactly impressive.
The footage shook violently, and for most of the video, all that could be seen through the camera was Ned’s round head, accompanied by his excited shouting.
The fact that it had received more than nine hundred likes was probably because people were drawn to the title, “Spider-Man Saves the Day.”
However, Peter could not directly tell Ned that he was Spider-Man, so he could only keep his complaints to himself.
Just then, Ned suddenly shouted excitedly, “Parker!
Look!
Someone posted a video called ‘The Top Ten Heroes’!”
The moment Peter heard this, he immediately sat upright.
