As Tony continued his mission, Qiyun began to take his actions, viewing the “Resident Evil” world as divided into two threads: one real and one virtual, running in parallel.
The virtual part was the recurring cycle of the original Resident Evil storyline. As Tony’s influence in this world intensified, a line extended from the virtual thread toward a new direction, stabilizing this reality.
Every pivotal event Tony participated in anchored the world like a ship’s anchor, and the changes he caused were like cracks through which Qiyun could extract energy accumulated over countless cycles.
The more fantastic Tony’s impact on the world, the faster Qiyun could gather energy. The more significant the story points Tony participated in, the better the world could withstand Qiyun’s extraction.
This symbiotic relationship was crucial for both; energy extraction continuously strengthened Qiyun, filling him with a sense of substantial power.
Unfortunately, this was only an illusion; a mere derivative world wasn’t enough for Qiyun to fully recover from his weakness.
Qiyun’s influence over the entire Marvel universe grew as his power level rose, and a pervasive network of fluctuations covered the Earth.
This influence caught the attention of The Ancient One, who, using the power of the Time Stone, traversed various timelines. However, no matter how much she traveled, the developments in the timelines converged at a single point.
Frustrated and puzzled by this anomaly, since the Time Stone usually allowed her to perceive the truth clearly, The Ancient One pondered, “Where is the problem?” Standing at the summit of the Himalayas, she looked down, musing to herself.
After many years of building defensive networks, she seemed to have a massive breach.
Fingers tapping in the air, temples around the world sent out vibrations, uncovering many secrets that individuals had tried hard to keep hidden, including the movements of Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D., though she paid them little heed.
The Ancient One focused on threats like Dormammu and Odin, not minor players like Hydra. Qiyun’s unique traits kept him hidden; multiple scans revealed nothing unusual.
However, The Ancient One did make a significant discovery related to this world’s timeline anomaly.
Tony Stark was missing! According to the usual timeline, Tony should have been in the Middle East with Ethan, striving to escape. But after scanning the entire planet, The Ancient One could not find any trace of Tony, who had vanished without a trace.
Realizing something was wrong, The Ancient One stepped through a portal, appearing in Tony’s last known location—his home lab.
The lab’s security was no obstacle for her. With a gentle wave of her hands, she dismantled and reassembled the building like a set of blocks.
At that moment, Qiyun was at home, following The Ancient One’s movements with his spiritual vision.
After an initial inspection, Qiyun realized that the exposure of the Main God Space had become inevitable.
Unless he were willing to kill Tony Stark, whom he had painstakingly cultivated, and ultimately disrupt this world’s timeline, as soon as Tony returned to this world, The Ancient One would undoubtedly invite him for a “talk.”
Pondering a solution, Qiyun found no easy way out.
Uncovering no clues, The Ancient One entered the Mirror Dimension, directly opposing Tony Stark’s home, ready to react instantly to any situation.
Thinking it over, Qiyun realized he had no good options against The Ancient One. “Looks like I need to prepare for an equal conversation,” he muttered quietly.
Given another year, Qiyun was confident he could confront The Ancient One directly with absolute strength.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have that time.
In the end, it all came down to energy. The Main God Space’s energy pool had just begun to rise slightly, not nearly enough to negotiate with The Ancient One.
Thus, Qiyun turned his attention to other stages of the Resident Evil world.
With a wave of his hand, he sent out invitations from the Main God Space to other “ordinary people” on Earth.
Due to the rushed decision, the majority of these invitations were declined.
Only about twenty people accepted, none of whom were significant figures in Marvel itself but were elites with solid talents in certain areas—people with at least one attribute over 8 and a total over 30 in a five-dimensional evaluation.
These individuals would form the second tier of participants in Qiyun’s plan, although their treatment would be far less favorable than Tony Stark’s.
The sudden disappearance of these twenty people caught The Ancient One’s eye, who then smiled knowingly upon noticing this from the Mirror Dimension.
Not bothered by being detected, Qiyun didn’t mind much, for he was no longer as powerless as before.
Setting aside The Ancient One’s threat for now, Qiyun focused on the Resident Evil world.
Under his control, the Resident Evil world was like a document being copied and pasted, creating multiple timelines simultaneously.
The newly hired
Elites were deployed across these timelines.
Their efforts made the world of Resident Evil increasingly coherent, and the developing world consciousness, sensing this, attempted to upgrade itself by spontaneously emitting energy.
Qiyun pressed down, suppressing the world consciousness’s unwise actions. These stabilizers would soon leave, and their efforts, though significant, were but a temporary illusion—if believed, it could signal the end of this world.
With Qiyun’s actions concluding, Red Queen emerged from the servers, having not detected any differences in the world. However, she felt a solid sense of reality, a tangible grounding sensation that even an artificial intelligence could perceive.
