Chapter 116 The Ancient One Who Sees Everything (for Luciferlam~Wan
Wanda's request put Lu Xiao in a bit of a dilemma. He knew that the Scarlet Witch's chaotic magic power also came from a big boss in a certain dimension. There might be some unknown secret reason behind Wanda's ability to obtain chaotic magic power.
Just like what Gu Yi explained when he first taught Lu Xiao magic, the magic power in the Marvel Universe does not come entirely from self-cultivation. Instead, it relies on its own magic power to tear open the channels connecting the multiverse and absorb it from all known controllable worlds.
magic.
Outside of these controllable worlds, there are extremely dangerous independent worlds such as the dark dimension, and there are usually masters in these dimensions.
Lu Xiao himself was just an apprentice who had just started teaching, and teaching Wanda the magic rashly was completely misleading his disciples. He could not bear this crime.
"Um……"
Looking at the firm eyes of Wanda and Pietro, Lu Xiao seemed a little hesitant.
"Well, I'll give you some time to think about it patiently. You can also learn about Tony Stark's true character through your contact with him."
"If you are still unwilling to join the Avengers, please inform Nick to contact me when the time comes."
"Wanda, I will introduce you to my mentor. She is more suitable than me to teach you how to control your own chaotic magic."
…
"The chain branch task is completed, and the reward is a B-level lottery in this world, and 2 free attribute points. The reward has been sent. Do you want to use it immediately?"
"No, keep it for now."
Saying goodbye to Bucky, Fury and others who were still a little unclear, Lu Xiao opened the portal back to Kathmandu directly outside the city of Skovia.
As Lu Xiao's own magic power increases, he can borrow more and more magic power from various dimensions and becomes more and more stable, and the limit distance reached by the teleportation gate naturally becomes further and further away.
While walking through the crowded streets of Kathmandu, Lu Xiao's expression gradually became serious.
The troubles he told Fury about the mystics were not just perfunctory words. During the period when Lu Xiao went to Skovia to destroy Hydra, early warnings were often sent from the three major mystic temples. They monitored
Occasionally, strange power fluctuations will appear within the scope of the temple.
Senior mystics including Mordo, Wang and Daniel all had speculations in their minds that this was probably Casillas experimenting with the evil summoning spell recorded in the Book of Cagliostro.
Casillas was originally a member of Karma Taj. He was very familiar with the mystics' search methods. Every once in a while, he would move his hiding position so that the Ancient One and the mystics could not accurately capture it.
His traces.
When Lu Xiao returned to Karma Taj, the occult masters, including Modo, seemed a little anxious. They knew very well how dangerous the pages in Casillas' hands were. Once he was really allowed to contact Dormammu,
The consequences could be disastrous.
Compared to the anxiety of the apprentices, Supreme Mage Gu Yi still acted very calmly. When Lu Xiao saw her again, she could even feel a hint of expectation from Gu Yi with her sixth sense.
"...Supreme Mage, have you really made up your mind?"
Lu Xiao's riddle-like questions did not make Gu Yi show any doubts. She smiled and nodded and replied: "It's time. Your runes have begun to take shape. What you lack is just the understanding and comprehension in actual combat."
.”
"News has come from Asgard. After nearly a year of dormancy, Odin has recovered a lot. Although he cannot replenish his lost vitality, at least it is not a big problem to sustain a fierce battle."
"Asgard has not announced this news. Odin is still hiding in the dark. Under the leadership of Casillas, a traitor who knows Kama Taj, now is the best time for Dormammu to launch an invasion."
Modu, Wang and others still don't know that the reason why Ancient One can live for thousands of years is not relying on the power of the Time Stone, but maintaining youth by absorbing the powerful magic power of the dark dimension.
Lu Xiao didn't know whether the time gem had the ability to solidify personal time, nor could he guess why Gu Yi would use this method to extend his life.
But judging from the information revealed by the Supreme Mage himself, it is speculated that there should be many behind-the-scenes considerations, such as... deliberately showing weakness to Dormammu.
As the controller of the dark dimension, Dormammu has unparalleled control over his native world. When he learned that the Ancient One absorbed the power of the dark dimension to maintain his youth, Dormammu was ecstatic. He thought he had finally caught the weakness of the Ancient One.
.
The patient Dormammu has waited for thousands of years, and finally felt the weakness of the Ancient One through dark magic recently. He is confident that in a new round of invasion of the earth, he will kill the Supreme Mage who once brought him shame.
.
Gu Yi saw Lu Xiao's doubts and explained to him with a smile: "You are right, the time gem does have the effect of solidifying time within a certain range. In 'our world', the power of the infinite gem is absolutely
Beyond your imagination.”
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Our world?"
"Yes, our world."
Gu Yi looked at Lu Xiao meaningfully: "Lu Xiao, I want to remind you."
"The Infinity Stones are indeed condensed from the origin of the universe in this world, but after all, they are only the treasure of our world. Once they leave this world, the capabilities of the Infinity Stones will be greatly reduced."
"It follows from this that the mystic who casts spells by absorbing multi-dimensional magic power will have his own strength affected to a certain extent after leaving this world full of magical entities. Perhaps you will have to rely on your own magic power to survive.
to complete the casting process.”
Lu Xiao was horrified.
Gu Yi's words revealed a lot of information. This powerful mystic who has seen through the past and present should have some guesses and confidence about Lu Xiao's true origin.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Xiao solemnly saluted Gu Yi: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I will definitely keep it in my heart."
…
The trap for Dormammu has been laid, and Modu, Wang and others are still anxious day after day, but Gu Yi and Lu Xiao, who have some understanding of future development, appear to be very calm.
The cunning Casillas made Mordo and others unable to trace him at all. Instead of continuing to be led by him in vain, it is better to just sit back and watch what happens.
Time entered 2015, just as Lu Xiao was further in-depth understanding and application of runes under the guidance of Ancient One, Nick Fury suddenly contacted him through special channels.
Along with Fury's intelligence came an Eastern European beauty with a much more mature temperament - Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff.
"Wanda? Why are you here alone? Where is Pietro?"
Wanda, who was wearing a red coat, rubbed her temples in annoyance: "Captain America Steve Rogers convinced Pietro that he decided to stay in the Avengers and contribute to world peace."
"Ha~"
Lu Xiao laughed and shook his head: "No wonder, Steve's eloquence is indeed very good. Speaking of you and Stark..."
Wanda sneered and said: "We don't forgive him so easily. Pietro only obeys the captain's orders, and he and Stark just maintain an attitude of not violating the river."
Lu Xiao helplessly tapped his forehead with his finger, "The gap has deepened again. Is civil war really inevitable?"
"Where's Bucky?"
"Winter Soldier? He said it would take him a while to find his true self, and he left alone with the permission of that black-egg bald man."
'Black egg bald head...'
Ignoring Wanda's complaints for the time being, Lu Xiao straightened his face and asked, "So, what news did the black-egg bald head in your mouth bring to me? I guess it's definitely not a good thing, right?"
Wanda winked playfully: "Congratulations, you guessed it right. This is also the reason why I left the Avengers Headquarters."
"Stark, that radical lunatic, messed up. He tricked Dr. Banner into studying together and created an uncontrolled advanced artificial intelligence - Ultron."
