Chapter 1469: Locals and Outsiders

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This had been a delightful harvest, but things couldn’t always be good.

At that moment, there was some intelligence Luke had gleaned after the Battle of New York which made things tricky for him — like Loki’s scepter and the Tesseract.

He had tried putting Loki’s scepter into his inventory out of habit.

The system liked to eat mysterious items, so it was best to let the system have a look at whatever was rare.

A scepter that could mislead and control people and a Tesseract that could open a portal — these two items were clearly mysterious.

The result was that Luke almost collapsed.

When he had tried to put the scepter into his inventory, the system suddenly popped up with a blood-red warning: Discovered dimensional matter. Once this matter enters the inventory, mysterious unknown existences will lock onto the presence of the system. To prevent the host from triggering this serious outcome, the system functions will not be used on this matter.

It was thanks to his determination to save New York that Luke hadn’t thrown away the scepter on the spot.

After the battle, Tony had proposed that they grab a bite to eat, but Luke turned him down. There was no way he was in the mood at the time; it was already pretty good that he wasn’t scratching his head in agitation.

After closing the space portal, as the closest person, he had naturally taken the Tesseract, which had lost its protective shield.

Sure enough, he received a similar warning. The difference was that the system’s first sentence was, “Discovered dimensional matter, the Tesseract.”

That was right, the word “Tesseract” was added to it.

Luke’s heart jumped when he received the warning a second time.

At that time, his clone had still been in space, and was about to blow up the first mothership with the nuclear missile. Because of Luke’s reaction, the clone had slowed down, and was instantly half-crippled.

Luke, who had been distracted, could only have his clone throw out the nuclear weapon before it quickly turned to dust.

Luke had gradually regained control of his emotions.

It was dangerous to be impulsive and controlled by his emotions.

Thus, after he and Selina switched back to their identities as police officers, they went out to save people. His newly resummoned clone was busy wrapping up the aftermath, and Luke didn’t dwell on it for the time being.

The system’s warning was just a warning. No matter how dangerous these unknown existences were, they hadn’t been alerted.

Now that he had passed the 40 Dexterity threshold, he mulled over it again.

The last time the system had given him a blood-red warning was during his encounter with Mephisto.

Although that person had already f*cked off to Hell to sleep, there was no doubting his strength.

Whether it was the Vampire Blood God, the mutant Blood God, or the ancient Enchantress, they weren’t qualified to receive the system’s blood-red warning, even though the Enchantress had almost killed Batman and Iron Man at the same time.

Luke recalled how the system had sent Mephisto packing.

At that time, the old man had wanted to pry into Luke’s soul, and had said that Luke’s soul had already signed a contract with “someone.”

Clearly, this “someone” was the system that was bound to Luke’s soul.

If Mephisto had checked Luke’s soul, he would naturally discover the system, so the system immediately activated a counterattack mechanism.

Now, the system had sent out this blood-red warning once more because of the threat of some mysterious unknown existences locking onto it.

Clearly, the system didn’t want to be discovered.

Luke had no idea what Loki’s scepter was.

But the Tesseract was also called an Infinity Stone.

There were several Infinity Stones in the Marvel universe, and the scepter which the system had evaluated to be the same as the Tesseract was probably another Infinity Stone.

What Thor had let slip was that the scepter didn’t belong to Loki.

Simply put, the Battle of New York began with Loki.

After he left Asgard, he obtained this scepter from who knew where, which was embedded with an Infinity Stone, then returned to Earth to seize another Infinity Stone, the Tesseract.

The implications chilled Luke.

Infinity Stones were very important to Asgard, but two of them just happened to fall into Loki’s hands!

The plan was for Loki to give the Tesseract to the Chitauri. He didn’t seem to know that the scepter also had an Infinity Stone.

Luke easily concluded that someone was collecting Infinity Stones!

Luke didn’t believe that a good person like that existed in the universe. In a universe where the strong preyed on the weak, fools didn’t live for long.

This weighed heavily on his heart.

Putting the matter of Loki stealing the Tesseract aside for now, Luke questioned the system for a while.

In the end, he sighed with relief.

The abilities attached to the system couldn’t be used on Infinity Stones, but that was all.

It wasn’t a problem for Luke himself to touch the Infinity Stones.

Just like when he had stabbed the Tesseract with the scepter, the system hadn’t responded at all.

Recalling that, he couldn’t help but look down at himself, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Was that why he had become Luke Coulson?

According to the system, it absolutely wasn’t possession or rebirth.

In this life, Luke Coulson had been born and raised here for twenty years, and was a “local” born and bred.

What he got at level 5 was a super learning module, not a super copy module, and he couldn’t learn “magical” abilities.

The super learning module only allowed him to experience “big” effects until he possessed the ability himself.

This sort of system indeed wasn’t very convenient, but it could ensure that the abilities he had were completely his own.

Thus, even after beating up Mephisto for a while, the other party hadn’t shown any special reaction apart from holding a grudge.

Thus, even after holding the scepter for a while, the mysterious unknown existences hadn’t locked onto him.

That was because Luke Coulson was a “local” of this world.

The system had prevented Mephisto from looking into Luke’s soul because it didn’t want Mephisto to find out.

It had rejected placing the Infinity Stones in the inventory because the latter was its ability.

Placing an Infinity Stone inside would be like putting the system face to face with an Infinity Stone.

From how the system called them dimensional matter, one could tell that Infinity Stones were definitely special. It wasn’t hard to understand why the system was unwilling for some mysterious unknown existence to lock onto it.

It would be like Luke entering the Federal Reserve Bank’s vault. How could the American government not go crazy and cause trouble?

An Infinity Stone was equivalent to the “vault” for the mysterious unknown existences. If Luke dared to let the system swallow it, these unknown existences would come knocking to swallow him up.

More importantly, the system was probably an “outsider” or a “stowaway.”

It was like the old games from Luke’s previous life.

A “stowaway” running off to plunder a “vault” was a complete deviation from the expectation that they would remain in hiding.

Therefore, the system would never use its functions on Infinity Stones, much less “eat” them.

After understanding everything, Luke dispelled the faint regret in his heart.
