Chapter 239. The Change in History.

Tick tock...

Tick tock, tick tock...

Tick --

The hands on the pocket watch on his chest stopped turning with the last sound of the ticking. In a trance, Ryan slowly opened his eyes. The stagnant memories started to return, and his thoughts came back from the war-ridden World War II seven decades ago. Looking down at the pocket watch that stopped turning on his chest, Ryan finally confirmed that he had returned to modern times.

"I'm back?"

Taking a deep breath, Ryan got out of bed. Moving his slightly stiff body, his eyes subconsciously turned to the data panel of the system.

...

"Captain, captain ..."

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Triskelion Building.

Nick Fury looked at Steve, who was in a trance, and called out.

"Sorry..."

Coming back to his senses, Steve shook his head and whispered an apology to Fury.

"What's the matter, Captain? Something wrong?"

Fury noticed Steve's appearance and asked.

"Nothing." Shaking his head, Steve subconsciously raised his hand and touched his neck, and replied with a smile, "I just remembered something from the past."

"The past?" A puzzled look passed over Fury's eye.

"Do you know about the vampires?"

"Vampires?" Raising his eyebrows, Fury looked at Steve and asked, "You mean those guys in Norway?"

Norway's vampire dynasty.

This was a top-secret matter, even among S.H.I.E.L.D.'s people.

After the end of World War II, Norway, which was restored by King Haakon the VII, rapidly rose to prominence, vigorously developed its industries, and dabbled in biological research. An extremely high industrial standard had been developed in a short period of time.

Afterward, Haakon VII died, and Crown Prince Olav the V took over as the second King of Norway.

However, this otherwise normal succession of kings was followed by a very different development from what was commonly perceived.

In 1991, Olav the V died of a myocardial infarction at his royal villa in Oslo and was succeeded by his son, Harald the V. Olaf the V's death left this country in a state of mourning. However, just a few days later, the tomb guards assigned to guard the royal tomb discovered that the green sarcophagus in Akershus Castle, where Olav the V was buried, had been moved.

At the request of King Harald the V, the sarcophagus was opened to reveal the long history of the vampire dynasty that Haakon VII had founded.

Eventually, Haakon the Seventh, a vampire, and the royal family he had turned into ghouls were purified in the sunlight, and the evil and horrific blood-sucking dynasty came to an end.

...

"History has been changed."

Kathmandu, Kamar Taj.

Although finding out which part of the past had been touched and rewritten was impossible, the Eye of Agamotto revealed a vision that clearly reminded Wong that this wasn't a figment of his imagination.

"Although it's impossible to find out who altered the past, the Eye of Agamotto is clearly telling us that not only was the past altered, but the present has also been affected." Wong frowned and looked at the strange flicker at the Eye of Agamotto, which kept flickering.

"The future is never certain, nor is the past."

In contrast to Wong's agitation, the look on the Ancient One's face remained indifferent.

"Now that the changes have been cast, it's time to wait for the results."

"What if this turns out to be different from what we expected?" Wong wasn't the Ancient One and didn't have the transcendent mindset of the other, especially as a protector of the earth. He was well aware that Earth wasn't as safe as he thought, and there were enemies spying on it every minute of every day.

"Believe me, I've seen how bad it can get."

Turning her head, she whispered a reply to Wong

In fact, the Ancient One wasn't unprepared.

But time travel wasn't an easy process in magic as it involved the power of time and space. Even as a Sorcerer Supreme, she still couldn't do it without using the Eye of Agamotto. Especially nowadays most of her strength was used to deal with ...

"Dormammu!"

In the middle of Kamar Taj, the Ancient One seemed to sense something. With a change in her bland expression, she lifted her hand to create a portal and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Changes?"

Inside the library, Wong looked at the Eye of Agamotto in front of him and muttered.

...

[Reputation Points]: 216575

'Over two hundred thousand points?!'

The large number of points presented in the system's data panel caused Ryan to choke a breath, and he shook his head and took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

Information about Norway's vampire dynasty was currently unknown to Ryan; otherwise, he might have been able to understand that the 200,000+ reputation points came from the contributions of the vampire dynasty Haakon had founded. As a vampire Dio had made, part of Haakon's influence was apparently counted by the system as his.

Although the specific source of these points wasn't clear, Ryan was vaguely guessing that they were from the vampires.

Looking up at the dazzling points on the data panel, Ryan took a deep breath and felt his insides starting to stir.

The 200,000+ points obviously gave Ryan a lot of courage. In addition, it had been a while since he had opened a treasure chest. So, with slight hesitation, Ryan decisively entered into unboxing mode.

'Redeem, open the chest!'

With over 200,000 points, Ryan was clearly feeling his swagger. He used up 100,000 on a [Silver Treasure Chest] without batting an eye.
