Ten minutes passed as Chen Ye finished explaining the Homeland's functions to his family.
He skillfully avoided mentioning the system's existence, attributing all the seemingly unscientific phenomena to the Cosmic Cube.
Though this explanation carried an air of mystery, the group had no choice but to accept it.
For those who had only recently met Chen Ye, like the Harry and Toby versions of Spider-Man, they were stunned by the magical and absurd nature of the Homeland's capabilities.
Their eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing. They stared at Chen Ye, as if asking, "Is this real? Are we dreaming?"
The scientifically minded family members, like Doctor Octopus and Tony, frowned deeply, lost in thought.
They tried to understand the principles behind these functions, searching for a scientific explanation.
Yet, they also knew that these capabilities far surpassed their current knowledge.
Tony felt a growing sense of vigilance and helplessness.
Chen Ye was becoming increasingly unfathomable and powerful. If he were to use these abilities for evil, no one could stop him. Tony could only keep a close eye on Chen Ye, preventing him from going astray.
For those who had spent a long time with Chen Ye, like Wanda and Pietro, while they were still astonished, they seemed accustomed to the miracles he brought. They knew that Chen Ye always had surprises in store for them, and this "Homeland" was just one more example.
At that moment, Deadpool started playing around on the spot.
He vanished from Chen Ye's sight and reappeared in different poses each time.
After repeating this several times, Chen Ye had to coldly warn him, "I should have told you earlier: I can disable this permission. If anyone starts messing around, don't blame me for shutting it down."
Chen Ye's warning worked, and Deadpool quieted down considerably.
But in his mind, Deadpool secretly thought, "With this feature, I could visit Katyusha's house anytime. If her husband comes back, I could use this to return home, and then go back after he leaves. This is the ultimate chick-magnet tool!"
"No, I'm not that kind of guy. Lord Deadpool never stoops to petty theft," Deadpool shook his head, rejecting the plan in his mind.
Chen Ye further explained, "This feature is primarily for the convenience of family members in parallel universes and those in danger. For those who spend most of their time in Hell's Kitchen, it's not very useful."
His words carried a hint of helplessness, but they were more driven by his concern for and desire to protect his family.
At this point, Tony couldn't help but ask Chen Ye, "So, you knew about the Cosmic Cube's abilities from the beginning? What exactly is this thing? Earth shouldn't have something like this." Tony's voice was filled with astonishment and curiosity.
Tony had previously thought Chen Ye's stubborn stance at S.H.I.E.L.D. was for his sake. It turned out to be for the Cosmic Cube, and Tony felt a pang of disappointment.
Tony was slowly growing accustomed to Chen Ye's seemingly omniscient nature, but as a scientist, he was now deeply intrigued by the Cosmic Cube.
Chen Ye had anticipated Tony's questions. After all, among his friends, Tony was the one who always dug for answers.
Since everyone was gathered today, Chen Ye decided to take the opportunity to educate them about all six Infinity Stones.
With that thought, he gently placed the Cosmic Cube on the table, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
They curiously gathered around, their eyes filled with a burning desire for the translucent cube.
Tobey-verse Peter's gaze was particularly intense. Chen Ye could tell he longed to reach out and touch the Cosmic Cube.
Just as Chen Ye was about to allow the Tobey-verse Peter to touch the Cosmic Cube, Deadpool suddenly snatched it up. He held the transparent cube up to his eyes, scrutinizing it in an attempt to discern what made it different from an ordinary one. His actions surprised everyone else, while Chen Ye watched him with helpless resignation.
Ignoring the others' stares and Chen Ye's murderous glare, Deadpool examined the Cosmic Cube for a moment.
When he couldn't find anything special about it, he impulsively took a bite.
However, he quickly discovered that the cube was as hard as a diamond and utterly unyielding.
With a disgusted look, he tossed the cube back onto the table.
Seeing this, Harry forced an awkward smile.
He covered his face as if trying to disown any connection to this ridiculous master.
Chen Ye then explained, "Strictly speaking, the Cosmic Cube's real name is the Space Stone. It's one of the six Infinity Stones."
"Infinity Stones?" Deadpool frowned, racking his brain. "That name... I think I've heard it somewhere before..."
Tony stared at Chen Ye in shock. His sensitivity to numbers was extraordinary, and he couldn't comprehend that there could be five other stones similar to the Space Stone.
Curiosity piqued, he asked, "Six? Are you saying there are five other Infinity Stones in the universe?"
"Space Stone?" The group exchanged puzzled glances. Most of them had never heard the term before.
Chen Ye nodded, and all eyes turned to him, waiting for him to continue.
He took a deep breath and began to tell the story of the Infinity Stones: "Yes, besides the Space Stone, there are also the Time Stone, Reality Stone, Soul Stone, Power Stone, and Mind Stone. Each of these six stones possesses unique powers, but together they can alter the fabric of the universe."
"It's said that if you gather all six stones, you can summon Shenlong," Chen Ye blurted out, unconsciously referencing the Dragon Ball from his previous life.
"Correction, it's said that if you gather all six stones, you can grant any wish," Chen Ye corrected himself.
The group listened in stunned silence. This was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.
Tobey-verse Peter whispered, "So what powers do these stones have?"
"Don't rush. I'll explain each one one by one," Chen Ye said.
***
At that very moment, while Chen Ye was explaining the powers of the six Infinity Stones to the group,
on the other side of the Earth, at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Nick Fury—the usually stoic director—greeted a woman in a red and blue suit with flowing blonde hair, his face beaming with a smile.
The woman's gaze was firm, her steps measured, and she exuded an indescribable aura of heroism and cool confidence, as if she were a warrior returning from the battlefield.
"Carol, welcome home," Fury said, stepping forward with genuine warmth.
His heart swelled with joy and anticipation. His greatest secret weapon, Captain Marvel, had finally returned. With her and the Avengers, they could finally suppress all the unstable elements.
Captain Marvel Carol returned his smile, her eyes sparkling with unwavering resolve. "I'm back. Where's the danger?"
Her voice resonated with unwavering confidence and determination, as if she could bravely confront any threat to protect the peace of Earth and the universe.
