American Comics: Inheriting the Source Castle, I Spread the Fool's Faith and Unite the Avengers

After transmigrating into the Marvel universe of 2008, Lin Huai inherits the Fool's legacy, bringing the Diviner pathway into the world. He earns enough for rent by setting up a fortune-telling stall, then lures Tony Stark in with a record of predictions that are right every time. While the tech genius is still trying to explain everything with the laws of physics, Lin Huai counters with classified intelligence on the Ramsden K-2 sonic device, forcing Tony to come to him in person. "Who exactly are you?"

A wave of mass madness breaks out in Queens, and the CDC is helpless. Routine tests show the water is normal. Tony stays up all night running 128 tests, and reaches the same conclusion: it's ordinary tap water. Lin Huai, meanwhile, has already prepared tea in his shabby fortune-telling shop. "You call it the laws of physics. I call it corruption."

A new mission appears on the System panel: Purify a corrupted entity for the first time. Reward: complete blueprints for constructing a Wall of Spirituality. When Tony sees Lin Huai pull a writhing shadow out of a water sample with his bare hands, the worldview he built on steel and algorithms cracks for the first time. "JARVIS, that thing just now was beyond the range of every sensor."

Lin Huai closes his eyes and says softly, "Welcome to the real world, Mr. Stark."
