IMUC-CHAPTER 87: VARIABLES

(From here on out, I will release 1 extra chapter if I receive 10 new reviews and 100 Power Stones.)

"Is it really General Kyle?!"

In just a few seconds, there was a sensational uproar on the streets of New York.

People of all ages and genders looked around Kyle and upon seeing him, they became excited and rushed towards him. Soon, an exaggerated wave of people formed, surging forward one after another in a frenzy.

"Damn you Ancient One, couldn't she choose a more discreet exit…" Kyle gritted his teeth and headed straight for a nearby commercial building without any hesitation. With the incredible jumping power of his Venom Battlesuit, he leaped onto the second-floor signboard of the building.

[Wall Crawling] skill activated!

He stepped on the wall above him, and it was as if there was a strong adhesive layer of faint black light under his feet. With each step, he firmly adhered to the wall of the building, making it seem like walking on level ground.

With a few simple jumps and dashes, he executed a seamless retreat.

In less than three seconds, Kyle successfully climbed up to the ten-meter-high section of the commercial building, and quickly disappeared from sight, taking advantage of the cover provided by the wall.

Only at the intersection below the commercial building, the street was congested with people and vehicles, and the shouts of fanatics echoed through the high skies of New York City.

Half a minute later.

Kyle, now disguised as an office worker in his Venom suit, walked on another street, still trembling from the close call. It was at this moment that many pedestrians finally realized what had happened and started discussing the incident. They rushed to the spot where he had been exposed, and even police cars were dispatched to maintain order.

"General Kyle was spotted on the pedestrian street near the commercial building!"

"Where?! I want General Kyle's autograph!"

"Get lost, General Kyle is mine!"

"General Kyle's movements were too fast. I heard he climbed up ten meters and disappeared."

"You must have heard wrong! My friend said he jumped straight to the top of the commercial building!"

"Brother, the commercial building seems to be about a hundred meters high, but since it's General Kyle, he might actually be able to do it…"

As Kyle listened to the excited discussions of the passersby, he couldn't help but smile wryly, almost pressing the brim of his hat down to his sunglasses.

In this era, where there were hardly any idolized celebrities, as the first superhero and a symbol of the nation's power during World War II, the adoration and fanaticism from the public had reached an unprecedented level.

"This has its advantages and disadvantages…" Kyle rubbed his chin and contemplated. His initial goal was to establish himself in this Marvel World and achieve something, while slowly considering how to deal with future supervillains.

Now, it seemed that the reputation of this buff Superhero was a bit too overwhelming, making it impossible for him to stay low-key.

"I think it would be time for me to consider retiring as a hero after the end of World War II. Otherwise, even if it's my personal actions, they will attract the attention of various organizations around the world." Kyle pondered silently, recalling his encounter with Ancient One and the deep sense of fear and helplessness he felt.

"Ancient One shouldn't have believed me so easily. Without mastering the skills to control the Space Stone, I can't easily take it out and use it from Card Space."

"Also, I must try to draw the magical abilities of Kamar-Taj and those Master monks and Ancient One if chance allows it!"

Kyle made a firm decision and his eyes sparkling with determination. He walked briskly, distancing himself from the noisy street area behind him, heading towards the street where his home was located.

At this moment, in a hidden dwelling in Kamar-Taj, some golden sparks appeared out of nowhere. The flickering sparks transformed into a rotating circle, revealing a passage where people could walk. Ancient One, with her hands behind her back, stepped out of the portal.

"Ancient One."

In the hall that resembled a martial arts dojo, a black male in monk attire had been waiting respectfully and bowed to Ancient One upon her return.

Ancient One nodded with a smile.

The black monk spoke with a hint of confusion, "You haven't left Kamar-Taj for nearly a decade. It's rare for you to accompany a military general from another country as soon as you did."

"General Kyle is not an ordinary person," Ancient One murmured, her brow furrowing slightly. "His body seems to have fused with a symbiotic life form from outer space. Even when I read his thoughts with magic, I can only hear the chaotic thoughts of that symbiotic life form."

The black monk spoke solemnly, "An extraterrestrial life form? Should I take care of it?"

"No need. That symbiotic life form doesn't possess enough power to threaten Earth. Besides, you should know that the real enemies we need to be vigilant against," Ancient One reminded him, then walked away from the hall.

"Kyle of America? If I have the chance to go to the United States, I should seek him out," The black monk murmured to himself as he jotted down the name in his mind.

Ancient One arrived at an underground library and placed the Eye of Agamotto inside a book-shaped storage box. She put it on the shelf along with the forbidden books of magic, sealing them with magical chains.

There was something strange about Kyle that she didn't mention to any Sorcerers.

No matter how she used time manipulation or delved into the thoughts of souls, she couldn't see any images involving Kyle in any future or past timelines.

That man seemed to have appeared out of thin air in this world, disrupting the course of the future and rendering countless possibilities vague and difficult to predict.

'Variable' was the most fitting adjective to describe him from an Eastern perspective.

"Is he the hero who will save the Earth or the demon who will destroy everything in this world…" Ancient One sighed as she thought of this. As the guardian of Earth, she once again faced something that was far beyond her expectations, aside from the Infinity Stones.

Brooklyn, Seamist Street.

Kyle had no idea what Ancient One was thinking as he made his way to his designated residence, finally stopping in front of a classical duplex villa.

"If I remember correctly, this should be it." Kyle looked up. It was his first time "coming home." After confirming the house number, he pressed the doorbell.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." A faint voice of a young girl came from behind the villa door.

In a moment, Lucy, dressed as a homely girl, opened the door slightly, her amber-like eyes scanning Kyle standing outside.

After all, during the war, there were many young men who left home to join the military, so there were plenty of young girls and housewives in New York living alone. Beautiful women tended to be cautious of unfamiliar men.

Not to mention Lucy, who was as pretty as an angel. Lately, there had been some "gentlemen" inquiring about her address, and who knows what they wanted to do.

"Who are you? I've already received my milk delivery during the day, and I haven't subscribed to any newspapers." Lucy asked cautiously, looking at the suspicious young man outside with his hat, sunglasses, and concealed identity.

Kyle was slightly taken aback but quickly realized what was going on. With a wicked sense of humor, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm here for door-to-door service."
