Marvel : Starting by Copying Wolverine's Power Chapter 195 195: This Timeline—Under My Protection [End of V

The two agents behind the woman imdiately raised their weapons. They were peculiar firearms, each muzzle suspended with a miniature vortex of ti. Pulling the triggers, they fired two orange beams straight at Levi.

Levi didn't dodge.

He rely waved his hand lightly.

Space folded in front of him. The beams were twisted by spatial laws, veering off course and shooting into the sky. Levi could sense their true nature—these weren't physical attacks, but weaponized applications of ti laws, capable of stripping a target from the current tiline and banishing them into a prison dinsion known as the Void.

But this level of ti manipulation was nothing before him.

"That's it?" Levi said. "No wonder you rely on the so-called Sacred Tiline to maintain order. Your own power isn't enough to control ti."

For the first ti, the woman's expression changed. She tightened her grip on the scepter. The clock chanism at its tip began spinning counterclockwise, faster and faster. The air around them warped as the flow of ti beca chaotic.

Levi felt it.

He could see Steve's movents suddenly slow, the energy indicators on Tony's armor flickering at a reduced frequency, Natasha's finger frozen mid-trigger pull.

This was ti deceleration.

The woman was trying to suppress the entire battlefield with ti laws, slowing everyone except herself and her allies. It might work on ordinary people—but not on Levi.

The ti laws within him activated instantly, counteracting the external slowdown. The flow of ti around him returned to normal, while the woman's influence was shut out by his domain of laws.

"My turn," Levi said.

He didn't use the Dark Trident, nor did he unleash the full extent of his powers. He simply raised a hand and pointed his index finger at the scepter.

The Law of Death surged from his fingertip, forming a hair-thin black line that struck the clock chanism precisely.

The hands of the clock stopped.

Then the entire device began to collapse from within. Gears shattered, springs snapped, and the markings on the dial vanished one by one. The scepter, stripped of its temporal power, beca nothing more than an ordinary tal rod.

The woman's face changed drastically. She imdiately let go of the scepter and retreated a few steps, pulling out a small communicator.

"Headquarters, this is Squad B-15 requesting reinforcents. Target possesses cosmic-level combat power. We cannot—"

Levi didn't give her the chance to finish.

He teleported in front of her, grabbed the communicator, and crushed it. It crumbled into electronic fragnts that slipped through his fingers.

"Go back and tell your superiors," Levi said calmly, though every word carried undeniable pressure. "This tiline—I'm protecting it. It doesn't matter who cos. If he's not convinced, he can co find himself."

The woman stared at Levi, true fear appearing in her eyes for the first ti. She realized the man before her had surpassed the Ti Variance Authority's standard response capabilities. He wasn't an ordinary ti criminal, nor so small fry drunk on stolen Infinity Stones.

He was a genuine anomaly—one capable of threatening the Sacred Tiline itself.

"You'll regret this," she said. "The Eternal won't let you go."

"Then let him co," Levi replied. "I'll be waiting."

Gritting her teeth, the woman turned and opened a new Ti Door. She and her two companions quickly retreated through it, disappearing from sight. As the door closed, the flow of ti returned to normal.

Steve regained his mobility. He looked at Levi, then at the powerless scepter on the ground. "They're gone?"

"Gone," Levi said. "But they'll be back. And next ti, it won't just be a few foot soldiers."

Tony walked over, picking up a fragnt of the scepter. "So we've officially pissed off so ti-controlling super organization?"

"We have," Levi said. "But it doesn't matter. Once I break through to the Cosmic Overlord level, they won't dare act lightly."

Natasha holstered her pistol. "And before you break through?"

"Before that," Levi turned to the ruins of the base, "you'll need to be ready. The Ti Variance Authority won't give up easily. They'll send stronger forces, use more extre asures. You need to hold Earth—hold this tiline."

Steve nodded. "We will."

Levi knew he ant it. The soldier from Brooklyn had never backed down when it mattered. But he also knew the TVA's power far exceeded the Avengers' imagination. If he didn't break through soon, this tiline would eventually be pruned.

Standing amidst the ruins, Levi looked at the Avengers who had just survived a life-and-death battle. Their expressions varied—fatigue, confusion, uncertainty about the future. But no one retreated. No one spoke of giving up.

That was why he had chosen to protect this planet.

Not because Earth was special. Not because humanity was extraordinary.

But because there were people here willing to fight to the very end for what they protected.

"I'll handle the Stones," Levi said. "Focus on rebuilding. Three billion people are back—the chaos ahead will be harder to manage than the war."

Tony removed his helt, revealing his exhausted face. "When are you leaving?"

"After I deal with the Stones," Levi replied. "I need to find sowhere quiet to go into seclusion and fully digest these powers. The TVA won't give us much ti."

Steve stepped forward and extended his hand. "Then… take care."

Levi grasped it. Two comrades who had once charged together on the battlefields of World War II now parted again, more than seventy years later.

"You too," Levi said. "Take care of yourself, old friend."

Steve smiled faintly and let go. Turning, he walked into the ruins to help those who had just returned to life.

Tony watched Steve's back, then looked at Levi. "You know, I've always thought you were a mystery. Since Afghanistan, you've acted like soone who knows all the answers. Now I get it—you do. Because you've seen further than any of us."

Levi didn't deny it.

Tony patted his shoulder. "Don't die out there. I'm still waiting for you to co back and see what my daughter looks like when she grows up."

"I will," Levi said.

Tony nodded and headed toward the lab. There was still much to do—armor repairs, energy upgrades, and preparations for the TVA.

Natasha, Clint, Thor, Banner—one by one, they all left. Each had their own responsibilities, their own things to protect.

In the end, only Levi and Wanda remained.

Wanda stepped out of the dical room. Pietro was still unconscious, but his vital signs were stable. She walked up to Levi and took his hand.

"When do we leave?" she asked.

"Now," Levi said.

He raised his hand and tore open a spatial rift. On the other side lay a stretch of starry void—no planets, no suns, only endless darkness and distant starlight.

The edge of the universe. A place far removed from all civilizations. There, he could cultivate in peace, without disturbance or fear of his power harming the innocent.

Wanda looked at the stars, then stepped through without hesitation.

The rift closed behind them, and silence returned to the ruins of the Avengers base.

In the distance, Steve stood atop a rise, watching where the rift had vanished. He knew Levi wouldn't return—at least not anyti soon. The comrade who had once charged beside him at Normandy had stepped onto a path beyond his understanding.

But he wasn't worried.

Because he knew—no matter where Levi went, no matter how powerful he beca, he would always be soone who fought to protect.

Steve turned and walked toward the people who needed help.

The sun was rising on the horizon. A new day had begun.

And sowhere in the universe, inside the headquarters of the Ti Variance Authority, a figure in a black robe stood before an enormous temporal monitoring screen. Countless tilines stretched across it—one of them flashing with a glaring red light.

"Interesting," the figure murmured, a hint of amusent in his voice. "An anomaly capable of threatening the Sacred Tiline. How will the Eternal handle this?"

He raised a hand and tapped the screen lightly.

The red tiline suddenly split into dozens of branches, each leading to a different future.

"Let's see," the figure said, "just how far you can go."
