"Multiverse?"
"Put simply, after you change something at a certain point in the past, a parallel universe will emerge, existing independently from the original universe and continuing to extend into the future from the altered point, but the original universe will remain unchanged," Nyarlathotep explained.
"Is that so... Marvel wasn't writing about science fiction, but reality, huh."
Jiang Lu first nodded slowly, but then quickly thought of something, and exclaimed in shock:
"Wait, doesn't that mean we're now living as people of the multiverse, damn, have I become a stand-in?!"
Nyarlathotep still wore a faint smile, "However, I have to say that this idea is incorrect."
"?" Jiang Lu was startled, and angrily said, "Then why did you bring it up? Are you messing with me?"
"You were the one messing with me first. Who else's mother has passed away before they were even born?"
