Lauren knew very well that every Infinity Stone had a significant impact on the development of the future timeline. Taking them away in advance would inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences in the future.
So he also knew that it was best not to touch the Infinity Stones if possible, including the Space Stone in his hand, which he would also throw back at the appropriate time.
Otherwise, if it affected the subsequent Battle of New York, he would suffer a huge loss. After all, such a major event would definitely have a large number of points and rewards, which he absolutely couldn't miss.
The real reason he was asking Nathan for the Time Stone at this moment was not to possess it, but simply to devour a little of the Time Stone's energy.
Currently, he possessed the energy of the Space Stone and the energy of the Dark Dimension in his body. The two energies had completely different uses, but both were extremely powerful.
So he really wanted to try if he could also devour a little of the Time Stone's energy. This way, he might be able to simply manipulate time.
For example, pausing time within a certain range. If he could do that, there would be a lot of fun to be had. By then, he could start the time-stop series.
That's right, the reason Lauren wanted to devour the energy of the Time Stone had no other requirement; he just wanted to play something different.
As an lsp, nothing was more important than starting a new series.
Hearing that Lauren only wanted to touch the Time Stone, Nathan hesitated for a while, but then felt too embarrassed to refuse.
After all, he wasn't asking to take it away, just to touch it. If she still didn't agree, it would seem a bit disrespectful.
With this thought, she smiled and took the Eye of Agamotto from her neck, handing it to Lauren.
"This is the container for the Time Stone, called the Eye of Agamotto.
It has the ability to see through illusions, break dark magic, and even observe the past and future.
The Time Stone is one of the Infinity Stones, its power is immense, do not touch it with bare hands...!!!!"
Nathan was about to say not to touch it with bare hands, but she didn't expect Lauren to directly take the Time Stone out of the container and calmly hold it between his fingertips.
This scene startled her again!
One must know that any Infinity Stone possesses unparalleled energy. Once touched with bare hands, one will suffer an energy backlash.
Unless the physical body is extremely powerful, otherwise, at best, one will be severely injured, and at worst, one will directly lose their life.
But the Lauren in front of her picked up the Time Stone as if picking up an insignificant small stone, and there was no reaction at all.
Is this still the Time Stone she knew?
It was so unfamiliar that it made her feel terrified.
Could it be that the Infinity Stones also favored certain people?
With a hint of curiosity, Nathan tried to raise her hand to touch the Time Stone itself.
However, before she could touch the Time Stone, a green energy erupted explosively.
Instantly, she watched as her outstretched finger was forcibly pushed back.
"!!!!"
Damn it, this Time Stone really does favor certain people!
After understanding this point, the shock in her eyes as she looked at Lauren grew even stronger.
What kind of freak was the Lauren in front of her?
It was one thing that he wasn't afraid of Dormammu's energy attacks, but even the Infinity Stones seemed to favor him. This was simply unreasonable.
"Is this the Time Stone? It doesn't look like anything special! It's just like an ordinary green emerald!"
Looking at the Time Stone in Lauren's hand, No. 18 walked over with a hint of curiosity, then raised her hand and picked it up.
Just like with Lauren, there was no energy overflow when the Time Stone was in No. 18's hand.
Seeing such a scene, Nathan was already numb.
Anyway, as long as the person was connected to Lauren, none of them were normal. She had already begun to silently accept this setting.
"Boss, can you also absorb the energy within the Time Stone?" At this moment, Commander looked at Lauren curiously and asked.
Hearing this, Lauren didn't speak. Instead, he took the Time Stone back from No. 18's hand and immediately activated his devouring ability.
As the ability was used, the Time Stone in front of him immediately glowed brightly with green light, and then vast time energy surged out from within the Time Stone like a tide.
Feeling this vast time energy, Lauren was overjoyed. Without a word of nonsense, he immediately began to devour frantically.
Before long, his entire body faintly emitted a green light. This was a reaction to the energy being devoured to a certain extent.
Because he had previously devoured the energy of the Space Stone and Dormammu's dark energy, his cellular space was limited at this moment, and he could no longer continue to devour on a large scale.
However, even a short period of devouring was enough for him to use for a long time.
After the green light faded, Lauren placed the Time Stone back into the Eye of Agamotto and then tossed it back to Nathan.
"I said I'd just touch it, and I just touched it. I'm a man of my word," Lauren said with a bit of bragging.
Hearing this, Nathan nodded admiringly: "Mr. Lauren indeed keeps his word. This is admirable!"
"Hmm, since I kept my word, I wonder if Nathan, as a Mage, should also keep hers?"
"Of course, Mr. Lauren is probably referring to the matter of me agreeing to take a disciple before, right?"
Nathan thought for a moment; it seemed this was the only thing she had promised Lauren.
"Yes, that day you, as a Mage, said that as long as I found someone with magical talent, you would unconditionally agree to take her as your disciple. And now, I have found her."
As Lauren spoke, he pulled Wanda, who was standing beside him, in front of Nathan. The meaning was obvious.
And seeing Wanda appear, Nathan, as a Mage, suddenly showed a look of astonishment on her face.
"It's you!! No, you shouldn't have appeared this early!"
Hearing Nathan suddenly say this, Wanda couldn't help but feel bewildered.
From the meaning of the other party's words, it seemed as if she had known her for a long time.
"Mage, what do you mean by that? Do you know me?" Wanda looked at Nathan with curiosity, trying to get an answer.
But Nathan didn't answer her question. Instead, she shifted her gaze to Lauren, who was standing to the side.
"Mr. Lauren, you arranged all of this, didn't you?"
"Yes!" Lauren didn't deny it and nodded silently.
"Then you should know what consequences this will lead to. Once the butterfly effect begins, it's hard to stop," Nathan said meaningfully.
As the Supreme Mage of this World, she naturally knew about Wanda, the Scarlet Witch.
It was just that in the future she had observed, Wanda shouldn't have appeared at this time.
But a person who shouldn't have appeared did appear, which could only mean that someone had changed the direction of the timeline.
Thus, what would happen in the future, no one knew.
And what she called the butterfly effect was exactly this meaning.
"From the moment I appeared, the butterfly's wings had already flapped. So, Mage, you don't need to worry, I know what I'm doing. Is your promise still valid?"
"Of course, since you can keep your word, I, as the Supreme Mage, naturally can too. Let her stay by my side for now!
Next, I will wholeheartedly teach her until she becomes the most powerful trump card in your hands."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mage!"
Hearing Nathan say this, Lauren revealed a slight smile and was very satisfied.
