Chapter 271 I feel uncomfortable
🕑 Added 2025-07-31 06:26:13 +0000 UTCFor Noah, spoilers were a common occurrence.
As for the outcome of the changes?
Voldemort has something to say, Marcus in Budapest has something to say, and Ronan's fleet also has something to say!
It seems that the only ones who wouldn't say anything were the mutants, who were happy to accept such an ending.
As a time traveler, if Noah didn’t change something for his future benefit, he wouldn’t be a qualified time traveler.
He never considered simply ignoring a fate he knew was coming—especially when it involved his friends. He couldn’t just pretend to not know, even if it meant death for those around him.
Noah couldn’t bring himself to do that. If he was going to change things, he was going to change them completely.
This was a kind of confidence in his own strength—well, it could also be understood as confidence in having a powerful ally.
Indeed, Ancient One was Noah's ally, and he wasn’t a person without advantages.
If this was the case, then if Noah still lacked the courage to change the damned plot, he might as well wait for Thanos to snap his fingers.
After all, the probability was 50%, and maybe he could be resurrected later.
But Noah didn’t want to be controlled by fate.
“To put it simply, there’s a difficult course for magicians called divination,” Noah started, making up a reason that was partially true. “Divination allows me to see some things in the future, kind of like a prophecy.”
“Prophecy? Is it accurate?” Tony pursed his lips, thinking Noah had real proof.
“Someone once predicted that my classmate would become a terrible force of darkness and die in the future, but we didn’t believe it,” Noah shrugged. “Turns out, the prophecy was right. It just wasn’t predicting my classmate, but another soul inhabiting their body.”
“????” Tony’s eyes widened. “There are other souls in the body?”
What kind of operation was this?
“Don’t make that face,” Noah said, looking at Tony, who looked like he was comparable to Fury in confusion. He smiled and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small green snake wrapped around his arm.
“Snake? Your pet?” Tony took a step back. He wasn’t fond of snakes.
“You should be thankful Nagini isn’t angry. Otherwise, you’d be dead,” Noah shrugged. “She’s not a snake, she’s a person.”
“Wodfake? She’s a person?” Tony opened his mouth in disbelief. “How is that possible?”
“She’s very special because she once had three souls in her body,” Noah slowly lowered his sleeves. “You won’t understand if I start explaining these complex matters, but yes, the soul exists. Anyway, let’s get back to the point. I saw something about your future.”
“Future?” Tony touched his chin. “What kind of future?”
“It would be bad if I told you everything, idiot,” Noah shrugged. He could tell Tony what the future might hold, but what if the future turned out differently for him? What if, later on, people didn’t understand the choices he made, slapped him in the face, and said, “Your prediction was terrible”?
Noah didn’t want that. So, he decided to avoid getting into too much detail.
“Okay, then what can you say?” Tony still didn’t believe Noah, though he was intrigued.
“Actually, even if I can’t see the future, it’s easy to guess,” Noah spread his hands. “Besides, I have seen the future, and it’s very simple to change it. There’s one person who knows everything about you and has a serious conflict of interest with you, Tony.”
Tony silently stared at Noah. He was thinking, and after some time, he found that there was indeed such a person.
But Tony didn’t want to believe it, because that person had been close to his father, Howard, and had taken care of him after Howard passed away!
“What did you see?” After a long silence, Tony asked, his voice uncertain.
“I saw a lot. For example, the terrorists he contacted wanted to kill you. But once they found out you were Tony Stark, they had to raise the price, or you would have died,” Noah didn’t hesitate at all and revealed what he knew.
“What happened next?”
“What happened next? Obadiah Stane continued selling weapons to those terrorists. If nothing unexpected happened, the scrap metal you left in the desert should have been found by those terrorists, and they would have planned to sell it to Obadiah.”
“Wodfake?”
“Actually, if you could crack Obadiah’s computer or get someone to break into his office and dig through his data, all of your problems would be solved,” Noah casually suggested.
He wasn’t holding anything back—he was spoiling the plot!
Did Tony later confront Obadiah and face the challenge of the armor that almost made him fail?
That wasn’t on Noah’s mind. In fact, the armor wasn’t bad. What nearly caused Tony’s failure was when Obadiah knocked Tony out and forcibly took the Ark reactor from his chest.
Without that “warm heart,” Tony’s story would have ended right there.
“Did you see all this?” Tony’s face was now as black as charcoal.
“Almost,” Noah nodded. “I saw that you had Potts go to Obadiah’s office to find evidence. And I also saw that many people would come to you for that iron sheet in the future!”
“Hey! That’s not an iron sheet, that’s my armor!” Tony said, his expression firm.
As for Noah mentioning that many people would come after him?
Tony had thought about this. Since he developed the armor, Tony knew there’d be groups trying to seize it in the name of the government.
But was Tony so easily manipulated?
Tony was familiar with the rules of the American upper crust. As a top tycoon, he knew how the system worked. Although he hated dealing with certain figures and didn’t want to follow his father’s path, that didn’t mean he was naïve or unaware.
Tony understood the system well. Because of that understanding, he sometimes followed certain rules even when he didn’t want to.
For example, during the civil war in Noah’s memory, Tony agreed that the Avengers needed oversight for the safety of ordinary people. He chose to sign the Sokovia Accords.
Of course, he had his reasons, and Captain America had his own. Neither was entirely right or wrong; their values just stemmed from different perspectives.
So, although Tony seemed unrestrained and resentful, there was still a moral compass within him that limited his actions.
In contrast, Steve Rogers was constantly being restrained by the compass but refused to be confined by it.
These two men were, in essence, contradictory individuals, both inside and out.
“Okay, since you know everything, why don’t you try it?” Noah spread his hands. “By the way, the copyright for your story belongs to me, understand?”
“Why do you want the copyright for my story?” Tony had already made up his mind, but he was still surprised that Noah would even bring this up.
“No choice. The little guys here need training, and training magicians requires money,” Noah smiled and tilted his head. “Whether it’s experimental supplies or basic needs like food, clothing, and housing, it all costs money. I once made the copyright for my own story into a movie. Your story is interesting, so…”
“You want to make it into a movie?” Tony raised an eyebrow. “Your story has been made into a movie?”
“Of course, my story at the magic academy has already been made into a movie,” Noah nodded. “If nothing goes wrong, after my magician exam, I should be able to catch up with the last part—the story of my final year at Hogwarts.”
In three years, Noah’s story had been adapted into three parts, and this third part would be the conclusion of his saga. Noah wasn’t interested in adapting Kamar-Taj’s story yet, so this would be the final part of his series. However, if he ever wanted to make more films in the future, he could continue the saga.
“Wow, where can I download this to watch?” Tony immediately became interested when he heard about Noah’s story. Tony had learned from Modern History of Magic that Noah was a key figure who had helped shape history.
Tony had also seen praise for Noah online, calling him “the pride of Hogwarts” and “the pride of Ravenclaw.”
Tony became very curious about Noah’s story. As for the copyright?
Tony figured that even if Noah didn’t ask for it, he would probably take it. So, it might be better to agree upfront. Maybe he could even be the protagonist!
“Download?” Noah tapped his chin. “I remember there’s a paid item in the space where you can watch the movie. Why don’t you go find it yourself?”
“Is that so?” Tony nodded. “Alright, I understand. As for my story, I hope I’m the main character!”
“You?” Noah frowned. “I think you should go back and have a good chat with your uncle first, especially after you find out he’s been cheating you.”
“Of course!” Tony didn’t hesitate. “But what if it’s not him?”
“Then let’s make a bet,” Noah said, suddenly grinning mischievously. “If I win, you give me 10% of Stark Industries’ shares. If I lose, I’ll take you as my disciple and teach you magic. What do you think?”
“Why do I feel like no matter what happens, I lose?” Tony blinked. This was the first time he’d met someone so shameless!
