I have finished translating this fanfic, IMUC (I Am In Marvel With Unlimited Cards) and have posted all the advanced chapters on Patreon (Last Chapter -- 706). (/c/marvel6395). You can read all the advanced chapters there.

After leaving Earth, Kyle and Raina did not return to their home on the Celestial but instead continued to wander through the Marvel Nine Realms.

On a planet where the seeds of technological civilization had already begun to bloom, Kyle and Raina landed in a city and observed the towering, humanoid locals walking by. 

These beings were three to four meters tall, with muscular builds, and the signs of technological advancement were already evident. This civilization would likely rise to become a dominant force in the cosmos.

However, even standing in the bustling street, no one— neither the locals nor their technological instruments— noticed their presence. It was as if they were invisible.

Kyle's very presence was the law.

In this Marvel Universe he had created, he didn't need the Infinity Stones. He could conjure them with a mere thought.

“This should be Titan, the civilization that will eventually give birth to Thanos,” Raina said with a cold expression. “Should we destroy this planet?”

For them now, destroying a planet was a simple task, a mere thought away.

“No need,” Kyle shook his head, looking at a Titan child passing by. “This is just a cycle, a complete loop that has brought us back to the beginning.”

Existence equals reason.

Kyle raised his left hand and created a brand-new Infinity Stone, a gem that glowed with a yellow light.

“The Mind Stone,” Raina stared intently at the stone in Kyle's hand. She had worn this stone for a while before, so she was quite familiar with it.

“I’ve always wondered why the Mind Stone has two coordinates within it, along with a brief interference that controls Vision. Now, I understand…”

As he spoke, Kyle gazed at the stone in his hand. Under his scrutiny, the stone's interior now bore two coordinates, and a fragment of his will as the original creator had been imprinted upon it.

This Mind Stone was an essential part of the world's cycle.

Kyle casually tossed the stone to the ground of Titan.

No matter who became its master in the future, the Mind Stone would guide the Titans towards arrogance, stubbornness, and ultimately, self-destruction.

It was a curse placed upon Thanos' people.

Having coldly completed this task, Kyle sighed, “This Marvel world truly feels artificial.”

It was all the seeds he had planted, the rules he had set, and then the results he reaped.

A complete circle, then back to the beginning.

“Boss, it feels real enough to me,” Raina said, reaching out her hands and holding his, her tone firm.

“True,” Kyle smiled faintly, but a new doubt stirred within him.

What about Agent Carter's child? Or the Superman clone? Are the Avengers members from other parallel universes?

They certainly weren't in this current Marvel Universe.

Because this Marvel Universe, due to Kyle's imposition, shared this "unique" characteristic, just like him.

From this, it could be inferred that, aside from the Marvel world he had created, there were countless other Marvel worlds and alternate realities— worlds he hadn't created, which might even be real.

The Superman clone and others, unknowingly, had stepped out of this world's endless loop.

"Knowing is one thing, but breaking free is another," Kyle sighed. He thought he had found the final answer, but turning over that hill, he found an even greater secret hidden behind it.

Right now, he felt like someone dreaming, fully aware that they were dreaming, yet unable to awaken, trapped in a dream of his own making.

To break this 'dream,' someone from the 'real world' would have to ‘wake’ him up.

"Let's go, let's explore other places," Kyle said, leading Raina away from Titan, and continuing their journey through the starry skies.

...

Time: September 13, 1999.

Location: X-Men Universe.

It's been over a decade since the battle with Apocalypse.

Superman Caesar and Apocalypse vanished completely from the world twelve years ago. No one knows where they went. Not even Caesar's old friend— Professor X— knows.

According to intelligence gathered from various countries, the owners of 116 bars and nightclubs recalled that after the world-shaking battle with Apocalypse, they never saw that golden-haired young man who once dominated the nightlife scene again.

After the battle with Apocalypse, the world underwent a radical transformation. At least now, mutants are recognized by the laws of various countries.

Mutants are free to walk under the sun, though old human prejudices haven't been fully eradicated in the span of a decade or so. However, more and more people are beginning to accept mutants.

This progress is a result of the deterrence and actions of Superman Caesar. Mutants have come to refer to him as the "God of Mutants."

Though the title "God of Mutants" might be more fitting for Apocalypse, since he was the first of the mutants, Caesar was never human to begin with…

New York, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

Since mutants were granted legal recognition, this academy has become the most prestigious and largest mutant academy in the world.

At this moment, a tall and beautiful blonde woman walked along the stone path in the fragrant garden, holding books in her arms. Her presence turned heads among the many new mutant students, who couldn't help but stare in awe.

It's Phoenix!

Not only is her beauty among the top in the academy but her mutated abilities and knowledge are also unparalleled. Despite her youth, she already holds seven doctoral degrees. 

Over the years, not only the students within the school but also many nobles and wealthy individuals from outside the school have pursued her, swarming after her like butterflies. If there were a line, it would stretch from the school gate all the way to downtown New York.

Unfortunately, Phoenix still maintains her cold and aloof demeanor, with no man ever winning her favor.

“Jean!” A tall young man wearing unusual sunglasses rushed up to her.

“Scott.” Jean turned around and, upon seeing him, offered a faint warm smile. But that was all.

“I wanted to talk to you, is that alright?” Scott asked, gathering his courage.

“Mm.” Jean nodded gently and walked to the wooden bridge by the lake.

Scott, excited, said, “I passed the interview today! Professor X has approved me to begin as an intern teacher ahead of schedule.”

“Congratulations,” Jean smiled.

Scott smiled back, “Jean, with your abilities, you should have become a teacher a long time ago, right?”

“I’m not suited for it.” Jean continued to gaze at the lake, lost in thought.

“Recently, there’s been a new student with an extraordinary ability.”

From there, Scott continued to find topics to talk about, but Jean remained as she always was— unperturbed, nothing seemed to attract her attention.

Seeing Jean in front of him, Scott became more disheartened. Despite being physically so close, their hearts seemed to be miles apart.

Suddenly, Scott asked, “You’re still thinking about him, aren't you?”

“Hmm?” Jean blinked in surprise, looking at him.

“Caesar.”

As soon as Scott mentioned that name, a powerful force seemed to surge from the lake, and half of the water vanished.

Yes, half of the water vanished, as if a tremendous force had wiped it out.

All the mutant students looked towards the garden in confusion.

“Sorry, I lost my composure,” Jean muttered and turned away, clutching her documents.

“Jean, go find him,” Scott said, watching her retreating figure. “Find him and tell him how you feel. Otherwise, you’ll live with regret forever!”

Jean paused for a moment but didn't turn back, continuing on her way.
