The clown appeared.

The line of words floating in the air allowed Jackson Chen to directly confirm his previous speculations.

This is a time when worlds such as Marvel and DC coexist, and he has just found Gotham City on the map.

Joker, Batman, and others are real.

This means the world will become more and more interesting.

Jackson Chen evoked a smile. The more so-called heroes there were, the more natural genius-level villains would emerge.

The stronger the opponent's power, the greater the challenge for him!

However, the Tesseract only flickered for a moment, and there was no other reaction after delivering the message.

"Is it just intelligence?" Jackson muttered, pulling his thoughts back again.

He had a hunch that sooner or later he would meet the Joker, but not now.

After all, what he was planning now was a big move.

Jackson's slender fingers tapped on the tabletop.

[Thirty cases in thirty days that shocked the world and declared their existence to the world.]

He recounted the tasks assigned by the system in his mind.

"Commit crimes continuously, insanely?"

"The system is trying to turn New York into a second Gotham City."

Jackson raised a smile, his expression slightly excited.

For crime, he seemed to have a talent beyond the rest of his skills.

"Then I need more gunpowder, more bombs than before, and at the same time—more precise routes."

Jackson made up his mind and opened his computer again, his agile fingers tapping on the keyboard, creating a rapid "crackling" sound.

Soon, a satellite scan map of New York City appeared on the screen before him.

It was a real-time imaging of New York City by U.S. satellites, where every street and intersection was extremely accurate, almost without any error.

It allowed Jackson to become familiar with all the routes in New York without setting foot there.

Not only that, Jackson directly infiltrated New York's surveillance traffic system and began repeatedly simulating and deducing routes to all the landmark buildings in his mind.

Eventually, several buildings in New York were marked with red circles.

"Avengers, tomorrow you'll be able to enjoy a spectacular fireworks show."

Jackson leaned back in his chair, his eyes flashing with a strange look.

Then, a few special names appeared on the map.

Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov...

The so-called heroes, what choices would they make then?

Jackson was truly looking forward to it.

...

...

The Himalayas are known as the highest mountains in the world.

Located at the border between India, Nepal, Bhutan, and other countries.

In Sanskrit, they are called the Land of Snow, and in Tibetan, the Hometown of Snow.

The peaks are covered with ice and snow all year round, enhancing the mystery of the Himalayas.

As a result, various myths and legends have sprung from this place.

At this moment, in a small town at the foot of the Himalayas, a group of hurried outsiders, blond and blue-eyed, moved anxiously.

"Natasha, I don't think we have much time. You know that Chinese... no, that lunatic, is going to start his terror tomorrow."

"Who are we looking for?"

Iron Man wasn't a patient man, and they'd circled the town three times, still not finding the door that Black Widow had spoken of.

"An ancient sorcerer. A very ancient and powerful being. She can see the past and the future, and if we can get her help, we can definitely discover the identity of the man."

Black Widow didn't hide her purpose as she spoke.

Her words caused everyone to frown slightly. Can someone really see the past and future? Could such a powerful being truly exist?

"Listen, Natasha, if this ancient sorcerer you speak of can really predict the future, then she should've sent someone to meet us at the town's gate. Instead, we've been running in circles in this damn broken town for an hour."

Tony looked at Black Widow and spoke solemnly.

But just as the words left his mouth, the scene before them changed rapidly.

All the sights around them began to fade as if they were being pulled into another world in an instant.

They tried to move, but their bodies were completely out of control. They could only widen their eyes and watch as the scene around them transformed.

Soon, the bustling streets vanished, replaced by an ancient wooden house full of mystical charm.

The room was filled with a special incense, making the atmosphere feel natural and peaceful, as if it were inviting calmness into their very souls.

"I'm sorry, but in this timeline, you shouldn't have been here."

As the words echoed, a bald woman in a white robe stepped out of the void.

"At least not yet."

Everyone was struck with awe, unable to speak. Even Thor, with all his experience, had never witnessed such an astonishing display of power.

Stepping out of the void, her origin and the length of her existence remained a mystery. What had just transpired had completely shattered their understanding of reality.

"Mage," Black Widow greeted her respectfully, understanding that this being was likely the most powerful entity in this world, possibly in the entire universe.

The Ancient One nodded, glancing at the group. "I already know your purpose."

"That man's identity is quite special. I once attempted to use the power of time to trace his cause and effect, but regrettably, no clear answer was revealed."

With a gentle wave of her hand, the Ancient One conjured a flicker of fire in the void.

The flames danced, drawing a circular portal in the air, rippling like water.

The scene of the Avengers base explosion replayed before their eyes.

This time, they saw more.

A man in a white baseball cap, his face mostly hidden in the shadow of the sun, a faint smile constantly resting on his lips.

Always calm and unhurried, even while committing...

Murder.

The group watched in tense silence as Jackson Chen's movements unfolded—how he blended seamlessly with the workers, how he planned his routes, how he meticulously dismantled bombs one by one, and transported them into the base for a brutal act of sabotage.

Every detail of this sinister process was fully revealed to the Avengers.

Jackson Chen drove away with a satisfied, comfortable smile, leaving behind a fiery base and a series of explosions.

The image froze in place.

"This... This is horrifying. How can anyone commit such an intricate crime, and so easily?"

"He's a natural-born demon," Steve Rogers muttered, unable to comprehend what he had just seen. His body was slick with cold sweat.

"What kind of monster are we dealing with?"

Tony's shock was no less intense. Although Jackson hadn't displayed any supernatural abilities in the footage, his genius-level strategy and execution were chilling.

His planning, his operation—this was his most terrifying power!

As the truth unfolded before them, everyone felt their breath grow cold.
