Chapter 207 Time Traveler From the Past

"Drax! Look at what you, an idiot, have done!!"

Quil screamed at the appearance of the yellow cube light gate.

Drax avoided everyone's sight, quietly moved a little further away from the time tablet, and then began to quibble:

"It has nothing to do with me. When I took it, this... this thing that looks like a yellow cookie had not appeared yet."

"There is no such huge yellow cookie, and what is this? Will this thing destroy my ship?!"

Pointing at the 'huge yellow cookie' in front of him, Quill was very worried about his ship.

No one dared to approach the yellow glowing cube that suddenly appeared, fearing that it would cause harm to everyone or the surroundings.

Only Kevin, under the gaze of everyone, walked to the side of the time tablet and picked it up.

"Kevin!?"

Rocket widened his eyes and called Kevin's name, as if he wanted to stop his suicidal behavior.

Kevin ignored him. He opened the time tablet, frowned at the broken display screen on it, and then opened the tablet to look at the buttons under the tablet. The messy buttons made Kevin's expression distorted.

Finally, Kevin tentatively clicked on a few things that looked like the close button and closed the tablet again.

Swish.

The yellow glowing door disappeared instantly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait, Kevin, you can use this thing?"

After relaxing, Quill asked in surprise.

Kevin looked at the time tablet in his hand and shook his head:

"I don't know how to use it, but it should be easy to operate."

In the plot of "Loki", it seems that anyone can use this thing. Kevin just tried it with a try mentality, but he didn't expect it to work so well.

"Do you know what it is?"

"I guess so, but I'm more curious about who hired you to find this thing?"

Kevin asked doubtfully.

It's normal that the time tablet is in the Marvel world. Almost everyone in the Time Management Bureau has one. Even if a few time tablets are stolen and taken to other worlds, it seems reasonable.

What's unreasonable is that someone knows that the time tablet is here and commissioned the Guardians of the Galaxy to collect the time tablets.

Who is this person?

Is he a time traveler? Is he from the future? Or is he a traveler from another world line?

Kevin really wants to figure this out.

After all, the black robe world he is in now is facing the problem of interlaced world lines, and it really needs an organization that studies time issues to help.

The Time Management Bureau is undoubtedly the best person to ask for help.

Kevin thought that the person who hired the Guardians of the Galaxy was some mysterious person who traveled from another world, but he didn't expect that Kevin actually knew the employer of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Not only did they know each other, they had also dealt with each other.

"It's the collector Tiwan." Gamora said, "He is very generous. We helped him get a lot of collections, and this is just one of them."

"...Well, why am I not surprised at all."

After hearing Gamora say the name of the employer, Kevin muttered to himself.

The collector, Tanya Tiwan, this guy who has been dedicated to collecting all kinds of rare treasures in the universe, would want to collect the time tablet, which is very consistent with his personality.

……

Because of the time tablet, Kevin didn't have so much time to travel leisurely.

He asked Nebula and others to take care of Annie and others and take them to "travel" in the universe, while he followed Quill and Gamora to meet the Collector and ask about the time tablet.

He came to the Void again and went to the Collector's collection room to meet the Collector again. This guy who was barely considered Kevin's "friend" actually expressed his dislike for Kevin.

"Why are you here! Damn it, Antina, send me away!!"

The Collector shouted loudly to the red-skinned maid beside him.

After the previous maid died, he got another servant. I don't know if he has a special liking for red-skinned people. Several maids in a row are red-skinned.

When the maid heard the master's order, she turned around and wanted to send Kevin away.

Because of the reality gem, Tiwan didn't like Kevin very much. Now seeing Kevin send him away directly, it is understandable.

But before the maid was about to speak, Kevin said to Diwan:

"Are you sure you want to kick me out? Oh, what a pity, I wanted you to see the only Infinity Stone left in the universe."

After saying that, Kevin shook his head and was about to leave.

Diwan suddenly stretched out his hand:

"Wait!?"

Kevin stopped and looked back at him with a smile.

Diwan stared, walked out from behind his desk, took two steps at a time and came to Kevin, and asked very quickly:

"What did you say? Infinity Stones!? Infinity Stones that have been destroyed by you?! You still left one!?!"

It was no secret in the Guardians of the Galaxy that Kevin destroyed the Infinity Stones.

Even the materials for the Infinity Stone Crusher were collected with the help of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

As the current gold medal employer of the Guardians of the Galaxy and the former custodian of the Reality Stone, Tiwan naturally knew about this.

So he naturally thought that all the Infinity Stones had been crushed by Kevin.

But he didn't expect that Kevin still had one in his hand.

Kevin turned his head and looked at Tiwan with a smile.

He didn't say anything, but just showed the Eye of Agamotto on his chest and cast a magic to reveal the Time Stone stored in it.

Tiwan's eyes lit up instantly, he trembled all over, and his voice was like waves:

"Oh--! Oh!! Too... too beautiful!! The only... Infinity Stone left in the entire universe--!! Let me take a look--!"

"No."

When Tiwan was about to touch Kevin's Time Stone, Kevin took a step back, closed the Eye of Agamotto, and refused Tiwan's contact.

Seeing the Time Stone slipping away from him, Tiwan's breath was choked and he almost fainted.

Kevin saw that it was almost done, and then continued:

"I can put the Time Stone here with you, but the premise is that you have to tell me why you want to collect this thing."

Kevin said, taking out the Time Tablet and placing it in front of Tiwan.

Seeing the Time Tablet, Tiwan's excitement gradually cooled down. He looked up at Kevin, and then looked at the Guardians of the Galaxy behind him.

Then he tidied his appearance and said calmly:

"So you are here for this thing too. Since you asked me why I want to collect it instead of asking what it is, it proves that you also know the function of this thing, right?"

"You really know it."

Kevin narrowed his eyes.

Tiwan replied:

"Of course I know! The Time Plank is the tool used by the Time Mutation Administration to travel through time! In this timeline, it is the only precious item in the entire universe! Just like your Time Gem! No, it is even more precious than your Time Gem!

"If you want to exchange the Time Gem for this... Although it is not impossible, you can still refuse it!"

Facing the Time Plank, Tiwan actually showed a rare tough attitude.

Even the Time Gem did not seem to interest him.

Hearing what Tiwan said, Kevin's eyes became unfriendly, and the kind smile he maintained gradually disappeared. He said in a flat voice:

"I just made a deal with you because I just wanted to resolve this matter peacefully, but if you don't want to resolve this matter peacefully, I can actually be tougher."

Kevin said, showing the Time Gem again: "I think you should know how terrifying time is."

"Wait, wait!"

Seeing that Kevin seemed to be really angry, Tiwan hurriedly said:

"Damn, you barbarian! Don't you know the principle of bargaining! ? Okay, okay, take back the Time Stone quickly! I'll tell you what happened! "

It turned out that Tiwan just wanted to raise the value of the Time Tablet to gain an advantage in this "transaction".

But unfortunately Kevin didn't care so much, he just wanted to know the reason why the Time Tablet was here as soon as possible, so Tiwan's little trick didn't work at all.

In desperation, Tiwan could only start to explain:

"It was a time traveler, a time traveler from a long time ago.

"He left a note saying that he came to this timeline with the Time Tablet, but lost the Time Tablet for some reason, and then died helplessly in this timeline.

"Then the note he left behind was auctioned by his descendants for who knows how many generations, and finally fell into my hands, and then I knew about the Time Tablet. "

One may be a staff member from the Time Administration. For some reason, he came to the far past of this timeline and lost the time tablet, so he was trapped here.

After his death, his notes were auctioned off by his family as useless things along with other things.

Maybe it was because the time traveler had told his family that he was a time traveler, so during the auction, the "time traveler's relics" were used as a gimmick.

This attracted Tiwan's attention.

Although the relics of the time traveler were fake at first glance, Tiwan was a collector who would collect any rare collections. Even if it was fake, he would buy it to take a look.

After all, the Tiwan Group is a very wealthy existence in the universe.

It's just a collection, it doesn't cost much.

As a result, when all the relics and notes were bought back, Tiwan found that this thing was real, and the time tablet recorded in it was probably real.

So he commissioned the Guardians of the Galaxy to search for the time tablet in that ancient ruins.

This is what happened.

It's not as complicated as Kevin thought. It's just that a poor guy from the Time Management Bureau left the time tablet here.

The only question is why the Time Management Bureau didn't recover the tablet.

Shouldn't such an important item be recovered as soon as it is found lost?

Could it be that...

Kevin thought of the plot at the end of the first season of "Loki", when Kang the Legacy died and the Time Management Bureau was in chaos.

If someone escaped at that time and wanted to escape the ending of time collapse, it would be reasonable to choose to escape to the previous timeline.

After all, the unlucky guy who lost the time tablet ran away hundreds of years ago, which is in line with the mentality of escaping.

"I've told you everything I know, so the time tablet..."

Tiwan saw Kevin was still thinking, and couldn't help but remind him.

Kevin held the time tablet, looked up at Tiwan and smiled, returned the time tablet to him, and said:

"If this thing is not used properly, it may cause the timeline to collapse, you have to be careful when using it."

Tiwan carefully took the time tablet from Kevin, protecting it as if holding a rare treasure, and replied:

"I know, don't worry, I will only protect it, not use it... By the way, your time gem..."

"?" Kevin's eyes instantly became dangerous: "Tiwan, don't be too greedy."

"...Okay."

Tiwan had no choice but to watch Kevin leave with the time gem reluctantly, and then began to settle the payment for the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Kevin waited outside until Star-Lord and Gamora finished their business and came out.

Not long after, the two ended the transaction and left Tiwan to meet Kevin.

When he saw Kevin outside, Star-Lord couldn't help but ask:

"Hey, man, you just left that thing to him? Didn't you say it was dangerous?"

"Yeah." Kevin smiled, looked around to make sure no one was looking at him, turned slightly to reveal a corner of his pocket: "So, of course this thing has to be with me, so I can feel at ease."

From Star-Lord's perspective, in Kevin's pocket was the time tablet that Kevin had left for Tivan!
