The Moon, the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System.
Its surface was covered in countless impact craters ford by celestial collisions, and it orbited Earth at an average distance of about 384,400 kiloters, roughly thirty tis Earth's diater.
Humanity had already achieved lunar landings and established research bases across its surface.
One such base, constructed from steel and advanced materials, bore a na that stood out clearly.
Stark Industries.
The Moon had always been silent and desolate.
But on this day, that silence shattered.
Without warning, the lunar surface trembled. Above a massive crater, a brilliant blue light suddenly appeared. Though only the size of a basketball, the energy radiating from it rivaled the intensity of a miniature sun.
"What is happening?"
"A massive energy spike just appeared. At this level, it could destroy the Moon, possibly even Earth."
Every research station on the Moon was thrown into chaos.
"What is that?"
"Wait… is that a person?"
"That is impossible. A human cannot survive out there."
"He is not wearing a spacesuit, and that energy is coming from him."
Inside the shaking facilities, scientists of different nationalities stared in disbelief at their monitors.
Within the blinding blue glow, a figure slowly beca visible.
As the light faded, the figure revealed itself completely.
A man floated in space above the crater.
Black spiky hair, calm expression, wearing only a T shirt, beach shorts, and flip flops.
Lucien.
On Earth, deep within the hidden sanctuary of Kamar Taj in the Himalayas, the Sorcerer Supre, the Ancient One, raised her head toward the sky.
Her expression grew solemn.
Soon after, images from the Moon spread rapidly across Earth, reaching governnts, powerful organizations, and major corporations.
Stark Industries.
Oscorp.
Pym Technologies.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Everyone saw the sa scene.
A man standing in space.
"Modern society."
The glowing Kahaha forming in Lucien's palm slowly dissipated as he observed everything around him.
Below, Earth appeared as a vast, beautiful blue sphere.
This random transmigration had dropped him directly onto the Moon.
Fortunately, he could survive without relying on oxygen. Otherwise, even a slight mistake could have caused problems.
Boom.
The Moon trembled again as Lucien shot forward, transforming into a streak of golden white light, heading straight toward Earth.
He needed to determine what kind of world this was.
As he approached, satellites orbiting the planet ca into view, advanced and nurous.
Combined with the lunar base, it was obvious that this world possessed highly developed technology.
However, just as he entered the atmosphere, sothing unexpected occurred.
A ring of golden sparks ignited within the clouds, forming a circular portal.
From within it, a bald woman stepped out.
Lucien halted mid air, his aura fading as he ca to a stop.
He looked at her, already understanding.
This was no ordinary world.
"It seems you do not belong to this star system."
The Ancient One's voice was calm, yet her mind was filled with vigilance.
The presence before her was dangerous.
Extrely dangerous.
Just as Lucien was about to respond, a familiar light screen appeared in his mind.
"Seize the six Infinity Stones. Reward, 3 VIP Luck Dice."
Since his system had upgraded to version 4.0, it had begun issuing missions.
He had received none in the One Punch Man world, so this sudden task caught his attention.
The reward was generous.
Three VIP Luck Dice.
Lucien's gaze flickered.
This world held enormous potential.
Iron Man.
The Hulk.
Captain Arica.
He wondered if any of them qualified as Children of Destiny.
High above the Earth, winds roared violently.
The Ancient One grew more cautious as Lucien remained silent.
Was he unwilling to communicate?
Lucien dismissed the system screen and focused on her again, briefly considering whether to attack.
At the very least, she was a significant figure.
But he quickly discarded the idea.
He did not yet understand how many transmigrators or reincarnators existed in this world. Acting recklessly would be foolish.
More importantly, the woman before him was powerful, and not soone easily deceived.
After a mont of thought, Lucien chose restraint.
He would observe first.
"I have no ill intentions. This planet is my ho. I have simply been away for a very long ti."
His eyes briefly lingered on the Eye of Agamotto hanging from her neck.
The Ti Stone.
He did not act.
Even if he was stronger, killing her might not be possible.
With the Ti Stone, she could manipulate ti itself, acceleration, reversal, distortion, even stopping it.
Lucien was powerful, but ti was a different level of authority.
There was no need to rush.
Given enough ti, that stone would fall into his hands.
"You would not mind inviting for tea, would you? This era seems quite advanced."
Lucien showed a hint of goodwill.
The tension around the Ancient One eased slightly.
The energy within him was overwhelming, enough to destroy the planet if unleashed.
"For now, he does not seem hostile," she thought.
"Of course."
She raised her hand, drawing a circle in the air. Golden sparks burst outward as a portal ford, connecting directly to Kamar Taj.
Lucien followed without hesitation.
His strength gave him confidence.
Unless she could kill him instantly, which was impossible, there was nothing to fear.
If she failed to do so, the consequences would be sothing she could not handle.
Kamar Taj, hidden within the Himalayas.
Lucien stepped through the portal into a quiet courtyard.
Ancient buildings surrounded him, worn yet dignified. Around the area, nurous mages practiced their craft.
He glanced around.
Doctor Strange was nowhere to be seen.
Since the Ancient One was still alive, that ant Stephen Strange had not yet begun his training.
Lucien did not possess deep knowledge of this world. He had not read the comics, only watched so of the films, and even then, not in order.
Still, he rembered enough.
At least the key figures.
If this world followed the comics instead of the films, things would beco far more complicated.
For the next three days, Lucien remained in Kamar Taj.
He attempted to learn magic from the Ancient One, hoping it might help him control the Ti Stone in the future.
Unfortunately, he lacked the necessary talent.
At the sa ti, he gathered information about the current state of the world.
This tiline aligned with the cinematic events.
Iron Man had already erged.
The Hulk incident had occurred.
Thor had descended.
Captain Arica had been awakened.
The next major event would be the formation of the Avengers.
The enemy would be Loki.
And behind him, the Mad Titan pulling the strings.
That ant two Infinity Stones would soon co into play.
The Space Stone.
The Mind Stone.
Compared to the Ti Stone, these two would be far easier to obtain.
This was excellent news.
Lucien also asked about the presence of other outsiders.
The Ancient One did not answer directly, instead shifting the topic.
Whether she knew and chose not to say, or truly had no knowledge, remained unclear.
Lucien felt a trace of regret.
Compared to all of this, Saitama had been far easier to deal with.
