Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Temporal Siege – Kang’s Assault Begins

---

Chrono-Void – Kang's War Room

Inside a swirling storm of timelines, Kang the Conqueror stood at the center of a fortress that defied physics. Surrounding him were countless variants of himself, each dressed in differing armor—some regal, some mechanical, all dangerous.

He activated a central device glowing with ominous light.

> "Target: Ron. Status: Temporally Anchored."

"System: Doubling Loop + Chaos Stabilizer = Unbreakable Timeline."

"Solution: Multiversal Siege."

Kang gritted his teeth. "Then we'll hit him from every timeline at once."

He turned to his Council. "Begin the Siege Protocol."

New Eden – Sky Citadel

Wanda gasped as the skies above New Eden twisted into a kaleidoscope of broken time. Light and darkness collided as rifts opened in mid-air. From each rift, stepped versions of Kang's forces—each from a different timeline:

A Kang who had consumed Galactus's power.

A Kang who controlled the Phoenix Force.

A Kang fused with Ultron Prime.

Ron narrowed his eyes. "So, this is what desperation looks like."

Wanda floated beside him. "They're violating every law of existence. We have to push back on every front."

Ron extended his arm. His summons responded immediately—now infinite in number and evolving by the second.

Each warrior held tech far beyond any known civilization. From Earth to Xandar to Knowhere, their armor adapted, upgraded, and multiplied.

"Protect the core," Ron ordered. "The past is being attacked again—we hold the present, or everything collapses."

Meanwhile – Inside the Mirror Dimension

Doctor Strange stood on a broken shard of reality, eyes focused on the chaos ahead.

"They're forcing convergence," he muttered. "A timeline collapse… caused by too many Kangs fighting one being."

Wong appeared beside him, holding the Book of Vishanti.

"We have to help. Even if Ron's power is beyond ours, if time collapses… there won't be a universe to argue in."

Strange looked ahead. "Then let's bend the rules a bit."

He opened a time portal—one outside Kang's view—and stepped into the past.

Present – New Eden Warfield

Ron descended into the battlefield, surrounded by tens of thousands of summons, facing Kang's variant army. His armor had transformed into a radiant form—blending vibranium, chaos energy, and infinity runes.

Wanda followed him, her hands glowing red and black, her presence shaking the sky.

Ron smiled. "Time for evolution."

His system chimed:

> System Notice:

Host is under multiversal siege. Activating Adaptive Infinity Layer.

New Skill Acquired: "Omni Clone" – Summons can now manifest in multiple timelines simultaneously.

Suddenly, Ron's infinite summons split, appearing across dozens of timelines—attacking each Kang's origin before they could coordinate.

Kang's voice echoed across time: "Impossible! You're breaking causality!"

Ron floated into the air, his body now radiating universal law. "I'm not breaking anything. I'm rewriting it."

The Past – Ron's Original World

A Kang arrived moments before Ron's truck accident, intending to erase him from existence.

But as he prepared to strike—

A blade pierced his chest.

Ron stood there—a clone—from the present.

"You forgot," he whispered. "I exist everywhere now."

He crushed Kang's heart with one hand, and time shimmered in submission.

Back in the Present

The final wave of Kang's variants began to fall. Wanda whispered spells of distortion, breaking Kang's loops. Strange's reinforcement spells patched wounded timelines.

The sky cleared.

Ron's body surged again—his stats now in the quintillions and still doubling.

Kang's last transmission echoed before vanishing:

> "This isn't over… the Council is awakening... and one of us—He Who Remains—will not fall."

Ron turned to Wanda, eyes burning with divine light. "Let them come."
