Perhaps it is the ‘right’ Marvel time and space.

Time: 2022.

Location: Marvel Universe, Earth, Downtown New York.

Now.

Five years have passed since the invasion of alien forces led by Thanos. Five years have passed. Five years, whether it is long or short, New York seems to have smoothed out the pain of the past. People in the new era continue to grit their teeth and move forward. After all, no matter how difficult the days are, life still needs to continue.

Five years ago, after the Battle of Thanos was over in Wakanda and New York, the final statistics showed that the death toll was nearly 330,000. Although this number was terrifying, if you know that the other party was a Thanos warship that destroyed countless planetary civilizations and was invincible in the Galaxy, the casualty rate could be described as a miracle for the earth.

But no one became optimistic.

At the end of the Battle of Thanos.

As a symbol of peace, Kyle, the Lord of Earth, fought with Thanos in the final battle, the top combat power of the universe and the top combat power of the earth, the collision between the infinite raw stone and the infinite raw stone, the shock of the cosmic energy alone broke through the barrier of the mirror space, causing the destruction of the twenty-mile area in New York City.

Among them, it also triggered a major phenomenon now called "flashing".

All living things within the Earth's sphere, including humans, are either five years old or five years younger!

That is, a pair of siblings with a age difference may have aged five years and aged five years younger, which will turn into a pair of siblings with a age difference of ten years.

This caused turmoil and chaos in the earth's society. It took three years for humans who stayed on earth to revise the laws and change the rules and systems of schools and social professions, and people in the new era gradually adapted.

But the "flashing phenomenon" is not that simple. Not only does it flash in time, but it also flash in space!

Half of humans on Earth disappeared out of thin air.

Yes, it's not death, they are just randomly teleported to all parts of the Marvel Universe. It may be the Saka Star with interstellar garbage everywhere, the Galaxy Alliance, or the divine realm that is now ruled by the Goddess of Death...

As for why humans on Earth know this, this is because later, Captain Marvel, who wandered the universe, returned, and Iron Man Tony Stark, who concluded through cosmic big data analysis.

then.

Humans who stay on Earth not only have to endure the pain after the battle, adapt to the changes in the age difference between themselves and the people around them, but also have to nostalgia for their relatives who may survive somewhere in the universe.

Under the leadership of Nick Fury, SHIELD announced very early that it would send wandering spacecraft and probes to search for lost humans as much as possible and bring them back to the homeland of the earth. However, the universe is too vast. Even with the help of Captain Marvel, Thor, and Guardians of the Galaxy, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack.

So, the final result of the Battle of Thanos is:

The global economy has been regressing for ten years, with nearly 330,000 deaths and nearly 3.5 billion humans missing! Even if five years have passed, less than 100,000 humans have been recovered!

In addition to the cruel flickering phenomenon, the earth also lost the most important hero—

Peace symbol Kyle.

The new version of the history books of various countries on Earth reads: "Kyle, born in 1921, was a hero of World War II, a symbol of peace, the first emperor of the Kingdom of Carl, and the last and only Lord of the Earth. He fought against Thanos alone in 2018 and died with Thanos, six infinite stones at the age of 97."

"Kaiya's death is a heavy loss for humanity on earth. This represents the end of an era, and a supreme god has completely left us."

"He surpassed the gods in that battle and became the only one in the hearts of mankind."

It was also after Kyle's sacrifice that a large number of heroes in the Avengers left, such as Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, etc. They faded out of the public's sight and no longer fought as superheroes.

As the special supreme kingdom of the earth, the Kingdom of Carl has been constantly cultivating superhumans and new heroes, and they will replace the old generation of heroes to fight for the earth.

August 13, 2022.

This is Kyle's birthday and the fifth anniversary of peace symbols.

New York City, the central area, has a large pothole with infinite energy impacts from that year.

The radius of the entrance of the cave is ten miles, and the inner depth is not bottom-out. There are cordons and guardrails forbidden to step on the edge of the pit. On these rusty and long guardrail iron nets, dense leaflets and letters are pasted. Some are looking for people, some are mourning, and some are blessings. Next to the guardrail are filled with souvenir wreaths.

The city buildings around the pit have been restored, but no one has dealt with this pit. This place has become a place for memorial to peace all over the world. Every year, most surviving humans come to the pit in New York to commemorate and commemorate.

In the early morning, the genius was white and bright, while the empty and deserted city of New York became active. People with solemn and sad faces walked on the streets, and came to the pits to place flowers and memorials.

No reason.

Scattered snowflakes fell from the sky. This was the first snow in New York this year. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, but it could not fill the large pits and the holes in people's hearts.

The boots were stomping on the snowflakes on the ground, a tall blond man in a leather jacket, and a short-haired woman in a long windbreaker, walking side by side on the street near the pit, watching the people walking towards the pit.

If someone observes it carefully, he will definitely be surprised to find that the man among them is Captain America Steve Rogers, and the other is Black Widow Natasha.

Of course. Now they are no longer superheroes, even if they are, former superheroes who are ‘retired’.

Steve suddenly stopped in the middle of the street, allowing snowflakes to fall on his temples and shoulders, and his deep eyes looked towards the direction of the large pothole surrounded by people.

Natasha followed him and stopped and watched.

Due to flickering.

New York lost half of humans, and some people moved out of New York directly, so that in the once prosperous New York City, countless buildings were abandoned and idle, and it was difficult for vehicles to see the main roads in the morning.

New York is quiet, so quiet that there is only the slight sound of snow falling.

"He's always like that." Steve suddenly spoke, his voice low, with a hint of powerlessness and sigh.

Natasha didn't say anything, she knew who "he" was in Steve's mouth.

Steve continued: "Always like that. Walking in front of everyone without saying a word, if you are not careful, you will be completely thrown behind him and stand at a height that no one can reach."

"Yes." Natasha nodded slightly and smiled bitterly, "No one can do better than him."

"Now, even if someone can do better than him, it's impossible to surpass him anymore." Steve's voice continued to sink.
