Lu Xiao's Eagle Eyes can see the flow of magic power to a certain extent. An ice-blue magic line is clearly visible on the Infinity Gauntlet, extending along Thor's arms to his torso.
"ha……"
Taking a long breath, Thor recovered from the side effects of gem setting.
"The side effects are more obvious than last time. I'm sure that without a strong willpower, no matter how strong your physique is, you won't be able to withstand the recoil of six gems acting at the same time."
When the human body is exposed to excessive pain, it will automatically produce a stress response, which is a coma that cuts off consciousness.
If you want to control the Infinity Gauntlet, you must stay awake. Once you faint, all your efforts will be lost.
As for whether the user can survive after using the Infinity Gauntlet inlaid with six gems, it depends on the user's physical fitness. There is a high probability that the user will die suddenly on the spot.
Asgardians' physiques far exceed those of Earthlings, and Thor had such a violent reaction just by activating the gem. Lu Xiao could hardly imagine how painful it would be before and after Stark snapped his fingers in the original plot.
"There's only so much I can do for now."
Thor took off his gloves and handed them to Lu Xiao, pointing to the Time Stone hanging on Lu Xiao's chest: "Next, I will be busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony. The Mind Stone and Time Stone can only be figured out by the Midgardians themselves.
Fusion.”
Lu Xiao nodded solemnly: "Keep in touch at any time and notify me immediately of any new discoveries. In addition, I will try my best to spare time to attend your enthronement ceremony."
Thor smiled freely: "Don't force it, this is a special period, business matters are more important."
…
After being embedded with a space gem with infinite energy, activating the reality gem no longer requires the user's own energy and vitality, and the Infinity Gauntlet is ready for initial use.
However, Lu Xiao has no plans to test the Infinity Gauntlet for the time being. As Thor said, he still has a lot to do next.
After saying goodbye to Thor, Brynhildr and others, Lu Xiao, Yongzhen and Banner stepped into the portal leading directly to the earth.
In order to facilitate Banner's return to the alliance headquarters, Lu Xiao chose the exit of the portal outside the gate of the New York Temple.
Banner missed the hustle and bustle of the New York metropolis.
At this time, the earth happened to be in the early morning rush hour. Car horns were constantly honking on the congested streets. Busy workers were hurrying back and forth between the streets and alleys. The lively atmosphere was in sharp contrast to the slow pace of Asgard.
.
"New York...I'm finally back."
Banner took a deep breath. The familiar air of the earth made his expression a little complicated, with nostalgia and uneasiness.
Lu Xiao has been away from the earth for more than two months, and he is a little worried whether Strange has caused trouble in Kama Taj.
"Dr. Banner, do you need me to take you back to Alliance headquarters?"
"No, no need."
Banner rubbed his cheeks to calm down his emotions: "I'll walk there by myself, just so I can adjust my condition on the way."
"By the way, has the new headquarters been opened?"
"Yes, you should know the location, right?"
After watching Banner walk away along the street, Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen also turned around and entered the temple.
After some personnel adjustments, Wang, who was originally stationed at the Hong Kong Temple, was transferred to New York. As soon as Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen walked into the temple, Wang, who was the guardian of the New York Temple, felt something.
"Supreme Mage, you are finally back."
Wang's appearance doesn't seem to have changed much, except that he grew a mustache on his upper lip at some point.
After a few simple greetings, Lu Xiao got straight to the point: "Wang, is there anything unusual happening at Kama Taj?"
Wang shook his head: "There is no big problem, there are some minor conflicts."
"Oh? What should I say?"
Wang smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know the specific situation, but it's about Strange and Wanda. Those two people seem to be incompatible by nature, and they will easily quarrel when they get together."
Lu Xiao was not surprised by this. The collision between geniuses does not necessarily lead to the spark of friendship, especially between two geniuses working in the same industry.
There is a saying that goes well, friends who work together are enemies.
According to Wang's simple description, the relationship between Strange and Wanda is not that bad, but more of a battle of spirits caused by mutual competition.
"Okay, I'll go back and check the situation."
Lu Xiao patted the king on the shoulder and said: "The storm is coming, let the mystics in the temple be more vigilant, and notify Kama Taj immediately if any abnormal situation occurs."
…
Lu Xiao originally thought that Strange would cause some trouble during the time when he and Yongzhen left the earth.
Facts have proved that he underestimated Strange's self-control ability.
After Lu Xiao made a clear guarantee, Strange forcibly suppressed his curiosity and focused on what Lu Xiao had explained before leaving.
Lay a solid foundation.
Strange's progress is indeed very fast, but his rapid growth in strength has also planted some hidden dangers for his future.
There is a Chinese saying that if you practice martial arts without practicing martial arts, you will end up in vain. Strange's situation was similar to this earlier.
After calming down, Strange gave up on continuing to learn sophisticated spells and started condensing his magic power from scratch to strengthen his precise control of magic power, just like the precision surgeries he performed before.
On the other hand, before Lu Xiao left, she asked Wanda to devote some energy to keeping an eye on Strange to prevent him from causing trouble.
Wanda had no objection to Lu Xiao's commission itself, but she always disliked the arrogant Strange.
Monitoring Strange will inevitably compress Wanda's personal time, and as many aspects of dissatisfaction accumulate, Wanda's attitude towards Strange will naturally not be very good.
When Lu Xiao and Yongzhen returned to Kama Taj through the temple teleportation platform, Wanda and Strange happened to be "sparring" in the martial arts training ground.
Although Wanda joined Karma Taj, she still mainly relied on her innate chaotic magic power, and she only had a slight dabble in many of Karma Taj's secret arts.
As Wanda digs deeper into her own potential, the power of chaotic magic becomes stronger.
Since Strange temporarily stopped to consolidate his foundation, he has not learned many types of occult techniques and has not really embarked on his own path as an occultist.
The tradition left by the Ancient One in Kama Taj cannot be eliminated in just a few years. Many new occultists will still focus on martial arts and entry-level occult techniques at the same time.
Lu Xiao doesn't intend to completely change this trend. He doesn't want all of Kama Taj's mystics to develop into turrets that can only stand behind and cast spells. Basic melee abilities and good physical fitness are still necessary.
Strange is holding the stick-shaped scepter of the Living Tribunal in his hand. It can be seen that he is not very compatible with this weapon, and he seems very unfamiliar when wielding it.
The activated scepter of the Living Tribunal can whip the enemy like a whip, but the energy whip wielded by Strange is deflected as if played by Wanda.
The red chaotic magic power easily wrapped around the golden energy whip. As Wanda moved it here and there according to her will, Strange was also shaken here and there.
In terms of combat power alone, Strange, who has just started, is definitely no match for Wanda who has natural abilities.
But Strange was very tenacious and would persist in fighting until the last moment even if he was not hostile to the opponent.
"Hey~"
Lu Xiao smiled bitterly and held his forehead: "This is not a discussion at all, but teasing... Yongzhen, go separate them."
Yongzhen agreed in a funny manner, and used the shrinking stance to break into the martial arts training ground.
With his right hand, he grabbed the scepter of the Court of Life wielded by Strange, and with his left hand, he formed half of the "Lin" seal to immobilize Wanda. Yongzhen took control of the situation within one second of entering the scene.
This is because Wanda is willing to cooperate, otherwise it would be difficult for Yongzhen to really stop her in his haste.
"Sister Yongzhen? You're back!"
When Yongzhen returned, Wanda immediately put aside the idea of teaching her junior brother a lesson, enthusiastically took Yongzhen's arm, and chatted with her about something.
"Huh~"
Finally not embarrassed, Strange let out a sigh of relief.
“Well done.”
Lu Xiao walked up from behind, smiled and patted Strange on the back: "I can see that your magic power has been condensed a lot, and your control has been significantly strengthened. It seems that you have not wasted your efforts during this period.
