Chapter 2025 Light up the dream in your heart (Forty-six)

Walt Disney wore a slightly retro black tuxedo, a black bow tie like gentleman Mickey, a tall hat, and a cane with vine patterns in his hand. His movements and expressions were slightly funny, like the kind of rich man that only appears in cartoons.

He took a cup of tea from the small yellow round table next to him, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, then looked up at Schiller and said, "You are here."

Schiller frowned slightly, but soon restrained his expression. He turned to the other three and said, "I want to talk to Mr. Disney alone, okay?"

The other three said nothing and turned away. After leaving the cabin, Nick shrugged, and Strange and Loki each took out a green Franklin and handed it to him.

"I said he was so anxious to find Disney, there must be something else, what do you think they will talk about?"

"It's hard to guess, but it must be more mysterious than we think." Loki blinked, turned the staff in his hand and said: "Schiller has too many secrets, but we don't have to understand every one of them."

In the semicircular house, Schiller sat on another sofa next to the round table, a little lost in his own thoughts, Walter's voice sounded in his ears again: "Aren't you going to ask something?"

Schiller suddenly woke up, then turned to look at Walter and said: "I guess things It's not what I thought, is it? "

"That depends on what you imagine it to be." Walter took a sip of tea and said, "Whose story do you want to hear first?"

"What choice do I have?"

"Then let me tell you about myself first." Walter sighed softly and said, "This is a long story..."

"Then make it short." Schiller turned his head and looked at him and said, "Obviously I'm not very interested in this, I just want to know that you are here."

Then he looked down at the teacup in his hand, Walter understood what he meant, and knew which story he wanted to hear.

"Before that, I have to introduce someone to you." Walter turned his head and looked behind him, and Schiller turned his head with him, and then saw a green figure walking to the back door of this weird cartoon house.

That was Loki, an old Loki.

Schiller slightly widened his eyes, as if he suddenly remembered something, and looked at this Loki and said: "God of Stories?"

"Not the one you often see." The old man sat down on another sofa, sitting on the side opposite them. He put the staff in his hand aside and picked up a cup of tea from the table.

He took a sip of tea lightly, showing a satisfied expression, and gently opened the cup lid, looking at Schiller and said: "It has been three thousand years since I became the God of Stories."

Schiller slightly widened his eyes again, he looked at the old Loki and said: "So you are the old God of Stories?"

Old Loki nodded and said: "I have reached the end of the story."

Schiller leaned forward, looked at him and said: "What is there?"

Old Loki shook his head and began to tell his own story.

"After I became the God of Stories, I recorded all kinds of stories in various universes. After a few hundred years, my storybooks became very rich. After a thousand years, they filled almost every place on every page. After two thousand years, the storybooks became very thick, and I began to get tired of it."

"There are no stories that never end in this world, nor are there stories that are always new. The intelligent life in the world that can create stories always repeats the same mistakes. All the things I have spent two thousand years recording are just countless identical tributaries in a long river."

"I am deeply puzzled by this. I don't understand why every universe is so similar. People always do the same things in the same circumstances and can never change."

"I'm tired of this boring repetition, so I started investigating and experimenting to try to find out the truth behind these stories."

Schiller listened very attentively and finally When the old Loki paused, he instinctively asked: "What did you find?"

"I didn't find anything, but someone came to me."

The old Loki shook his head gently and said: "In the process of finding the truth, I took various means, constantly going back in time, trying to interfere with the story, and influencing the protagonists in these stories, hoping that they would change."

"I roamed in countless universes and made so many attempts that I couldn't count them, and then I found that my influence was only temporary, and the universe would eventually go in the same direction."

"At this time, a mysterious existence came to me. I didn't witness his existence with my own eyes. I guess he is the supreme god of this world."

Schiller frowned. He felt that this old Loki might have met OAA, but he didn't understand why the god of stories attracted the attention of this supreme being.

Traveling through various universes to twist the story line sounds a bit amazing, but there are also people who do this in the Marvel Universe, or Schiller is actually doing this. Although the scope of management is not so wide, the depth of influence is not much different. Up to now, OAA has not caused trouble for Schiller, and can even be said to be condoning him. So OAA must have other purposes in approaching the God of Stories.

Sure enough, the old Loki said: "He told me that I no longer have to do meaningless things. I couldn't understand it, so I asked him why, and he only said one sentence - 'It is better to create stories than to record them.'"

The old Loki opened his palm in front of him, and a shimmering quill appeared on his palm, and then he said: "We made a deal, I will no longer interfere with the existing story, and he gave My right to create new stories in the universe."

Schiller had a vague premonition, so he looked at Walt Disney. Walt smiled and said, "The first story he created was the life experience of Walt Disney."

Schiller paused again as he remembered the voice that had spoken about Walt Disney's childhood after lighting up the first Walt Disney statue.

That voice was a bit too old, and the Walt Disney he knew had actually died in his 60s. The voice didn't sound like Walt, but more like the old Loki who had just spoken.

So Walt Disney’s origin story in this universe was actually created by the God of Story?

This can't be a coincidence. The story created by the God of Stories is something that he, as a comic character, has no way of knowing. The only possibility is that this story was told to him by OAA, which was one of the conditions of their deal.

One of the favorable evidences is that Marvel has an infinite number of single universes. No matter how much the God of Story destroys and interferes, the big boss will not stop them.

OAA's power is unlimited. Even if he wants to stop someone, there is no need for any transaction at all, he can just delete it.

Then this deal may just be a cover to hand over this quill with the ability to create stories in the Marvel Universe to the God of Story and let him create the origin story of Walt Disney in the comic book world. It is very possible This is why OAA found the God of Story.

So since it is the origin story of the creation of Walt Disney, Walt must have instigated this matter, or at least it has something to do with him.

Schiller thought about it carefully. What he knew in his previous life was that Walt Disney died in 1966, and Disney acquired Marvel in 2009. There was a time difference of more than 30 years. Could it be that Walt can still Do you know if Disney will acquire Marvel in the future?

Wait, Schiller was shocked to realize that it was not Walt Disney who made such an arrangement because he foresaw that Disney would acquire Marvel in the future, but it was him who made such an arrangement that made Disney choose to acquire Marvel.

Then Schiller thought of another key figure, Stan Lee, known as the father of Marvel superheroes.

After running through Stan Lee's life in his mind, Schiller grasped the key.

In the late 1950s, comic companies began to get involved in the field of superhero comics, and Stan Lee, who was the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics at that time, was asked by his boss to create a new superhero comic series.

In 1961, the Fantastic Four were born.

In the days that followed, famous superhero comics such as Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and X-Men were created one after another.

As mentioned before, Walt Disney continued to work hard until his death, did not rest due to illness, and had no contact with the outside world. In other words, it was possible that he had read Marvel comics a few years before his death.

In fact, Walt Disney and Stan Lee are contemporaries, but one lived a short life and the other lived a long life. It makes people feel that they are several generations apart, but their life trajectories actually overlap.

Moreover, the two people work in similar fields. When Stan Lee was working at Marvel Comics, Walt Disney was launching cartoons that were popular around the world and won several Oscars. Regardless of whether Walt had contact with Stan Lee or not, It’s impossible for Stan Lee not to have heard of this famous animation director.

At that time, Walt Disney, who became famous with the image of Mickey and even dominated the world's animation field for several years, was the idol of every painter in the industry, and Stan Lee was probably no exception.

So they had contact before? Schiller speculated in his heart, and in most people's understanding, Marvel's supreme god OAA is actually the incarnation of the creator. To put it bluntly, before 2000, OAA was Stan Lee.

It seems increasingly clear that during Walt Disney's heyday, he had contact with Stan Lee, the father of Marvel superheroes.

They may have had some kind of deal, or maybe they just discussed the comic storyline together and got inspiration. In short, Stan Lee planned to draw Walt into the comic.

But Walt Disney's company is named after himself. Without authorization, Marvel Comics would not allow their editors to draw a superhero named after the company's founder. This is a serious infringement.

But this problem no longer existed after Disney acquired Marvel. Schiller speculated that Walt Disney may have made some arrangements, which ultimately led to the removal of the barrier to Disney's acquisition of Marvel's copyright, and his story was Appeared in comics.

So now there is only one last question left, which universe does all the entanglements between Walt Disney and Stan Lee, Disney and Marvel take place in?

Or to put it more bluntly, is it inside the fourth wall or outside it?

While Schiller was thinking about this problem, he picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of the hot tea.

The next second, he froze.

The taste was so familiar, it was the Biluochun that he loved to drink in his previous life.
