Chapter 303: Chapter 153: The Second-Generation Avengers, A Kamar-Taj Apprentice? (Part 1)

In his private room within the Reincarnation Space, Alex stared at the ripples of time floating before his eyes.

The heavy traffic of modern city streets flickered within the ripples. The light and shadows were chaotic, yet they revealed the authentic hustle and bustle of everyday life.

He raised his hand to touch the ripples. A faint energy fluctuation transmitted from his fingertips as he turned his head and asked.

"Reincarnation Space, can I only travel to this point in time?"

[This reincarnation world is of a higher tier, and the flow of time cannot be precisely controlled. Multiple high-energy lifeforms have been detected, with energy intensities far exceeding those of conventional Hunters. It is recommended that the Hunter act with caution!]

The cold mechanical voice echoed in the void without any superfluous explanation.

Alex nodded, understanding clearly in his heart. The energy level of the Marvel Universe was intrinsically far beyond that of ordinary worlds. It was already a feat for the Reincarnation Space to deliver him accurately; demanding an adjustment to the timeline was unrealistic.

"Since that’s the case, this point in time will do."

He no longer hesitated. A pale golden light radiated around him as his figure transformed into a streak of flowing light, disappearing into the darkness of the Reincarnation Space.

In the next second, Alex landed steadily on a noisy street.

The honking of cars, the chatter of pedestrians, and the music from shop windows instantly flooded his ears. Sunlight spilled through the gaps between the high-rise buildings onto the ground, forming dappled light and shadows.

He looked up at a street sign by the road, which was clearly printed:

"Greenwich Village Central Avenue, New York."

This was one of the core areas of the Marvel Universe.

To confirm the current timeline and exactly which multiverse this was, Alex walked to a newsstand at the corner of the street and casually picked up the latest newspaper.

The headline on the front page was particularly eye-catching: "Second-Generation Avengers Established, Primary Members Announced."

Below it were photos of six individuals.

Sam Wilson, wearing a blue combat suit with the Stars and Stripes logo printed on his chest; he was the second-generation Captain America.

Yelena Belova, in a sleek black tactical suit; this was the second-generation Black Widow.

Kate Bishop, carrying a bow and arrows; the second-generation Hawkeye.

Robert Reynolds, standing tall and exuding a golden light; this was Alex’s old acquaintance, the Fallen Reincarnator, Sentry.

James Barnes, his metal arm gleaming coldly; it was none other than the Winter Soldier.

Alex swept his eyes over the photos and made a judgment in his heart. This was the era after the events of Avengers: Endgame.

The first-generation Avengers had mostly taken their final bow. Iron Man had sacrificed himself by snapping his fingers to save the world; Captain America had returned the Infinity Stones and remained in the past, growing old.

The Hulk, Bruce Banner, lived in seclusion and no longer participated in worldly affairs.

Thor, depressed by the passing of his family and friends, had traveled far away.

Vision died at the hands of Thanos, and the Scarlet Witch, Wanda, had sealed herself away after her descent into darkness.

The world today was primarily protected by these ordinary humans of the second-generation Avengers. Only the Sentry, Robert Reynolds, was an exception.

He was reputed to possess the power of a million exploding suns, and even possessed the characteristic of becoming ten times stronger when corrupted by darkness.

Alex recalled the version of him he had seen before; that was merely his light form.

If the Sentry succumbed to darkness, he would awaken the Void persona. At that time, relying solely on the power of the Void, he could instantly erase all living creatures on a planet.

However, his target this time was not the Sentry, but the Soul Stone among the Infinity Stones.

After Iron Man’s snap, the whereabouts of the six stones became a mystery. Based on the situation, Alex guessed that the most likely hiding place for the six Infinity Stones was the building not far in front of him.

177A Bleecker Street, Greenwich Village, downtown New York: the Kamar-Taj Sanctum Sanctorum.

This was a typical Victorian Gothic Revival style villa. It wasn’t very tall, yet it exuded a steady and heavy aura.

The dark brick and stone exterior walls had weathered the passage of time. The surface was covered with traces of weathering and marks washed by rain. Its color was deeper and darker than the surrounding modern buildings, like an antique soaked in time.

The strangest thing was that as pedestrians hurried past, not a single person looked up at this villa. It was as if it were enveloped by an invisible barrier, thoroughly blending into the background.

"As expected, a concealment spell has been cast on it."
