The Ancient One frowned: "There are not as many artifacts as you think. ”

Although she didn't need a single artifact, only the cosmic treasure "Eye of Agamotto" was enough, as a Supreme Mage, she knew far more about artifacts than most people.

An artifact requires not only extremely precious materials, but also corresponding manufacturing technology.

The material of Thor's hammer is the unique material "Uru" of Asgard, which is made from the remains of stars, which involves the most secret and important inheritance of Asgard, which requires the craftsmanship of Asgard and the magical heritage of Asgard.

The same goes for the other artifacts.

Although Kama Taj has quite a few artifacts, these artifacts actually existed long before she was born, and each has its own origin.

Some of them were made by the first generation of Supreme Mages "Agomoto", and the other part was trophies of previous mages.

Like the bow of Apollo and the arrow of Apollo.

These artifacts are not easy to make, and some of them are even related to the magical entities of the multiverse.

Unfortunately, although she is confident that she is the most powerful Supreme Mage after Agomoto, she has no knowledge of making artifacts.

If it's just a standard equipment like "Hanging Ring", as long as she is given enough good materials, she can make as many as she wants.

But the artifact?

I really can't help it.

For thousands of years,

Successive mages have accumulated a lot of artifacts, but they have also lost a lot of artifacts, such as the "Ball of Agomoto", which is still eating ashes in Odin's treasury.

Kama Taj and all the artifacts of the three major temples combined, there were probably less than 30 pieces, most of them were ordinary artifacts, and there were not many of them at the level of the levitation cloak.

This mouth of yours is 10 artifacts?

Gu Yi decisively refused: "The artifact chooses the owner......"

Before the words fell, he saw Lao Wang's innocent face: "I know, I won't force them, it's all voluntary." ”

Gu Yi's eyes were instantly attracted by the calfskin belt around Lao Wang's waist.

The transformation of the Crimson Magic Belt could not escape her eyes, and the strange energy flowing in it, as if she had seen it somewhere, belonged to the highest level of the universe, similar to the energy of the Rubik's Cube of the universe.

The ancient one was dumbfounded.

Needless to say, the attraction of this energy to artifacts is irresistible, except for cosmic treasures, no artifact can be resisted, including the Eternal Spear.

Thinking of the scene in the New York Temple, she said lightly: "The number of mages in Kama Taj is far less than that of hundreds of years ago, and the progress of science and technology has limited the development of magic. The number of mages is decreasing, and the power of the temple is not strong enough. Without artifacts, we can't hold the Earth. Once Dormammu invades Earth, the consequences are far more serious than you think. ”

The smile on Lao Wang's face gradually retracted.

The dark dimension is beyond the monolithic universe and belongs to the additional dimension within the multiverse, where the higher energy is the same level as the highest level of monolithic cosmic energy.

As the master of the dark dimension, Dormammu's strength is superior to that of the Heavenly Father, and even the Ancient One had to rely on the power of the Time Gem and the Three Sanctuaries to resist Dormammu's invasion.

No single force in the universe can inflict damage to Dormammu, including the Infinity Stones.

The Time Gem can manipulate all time within the monolithic universe, but the dark dimension is even more transcendent than the quantum realm, where time and space are different from the monolithic universe.

Even the later Doctor Strange could only use the power of the Time Stone on himself, using his own time loop to harass Dormammu, and he himself did not have the ability to resist even a second in front of Dormammu.

The Time Gem has no way of influencing Dormammu.

Basically, it can be considered that these are two equal levels of existence.

Even if Thanos got the six gems, he couldn't wipe out Dormammu.

In this case-

If 10 artifacts were really taken away, causing Dormammu to successfully invade Earth, who would resist at that time?

Anyway, Lao Wang has no confidence.

He even suspected—

Even if the Titans are summoned, they may not be able to deal with Dormammu in his heyday, at least it will be difficult to defeat, and it is more like a mortal enemy who is fighting against each other.

So—

"What do I get?" Lao Wang asked.

There has to be a payoff, it's a deal.

Lao Wang will definitely leave this universe in the end, and not taking the Infinity Stones with him is a promise related to the entire universe, and if he wants to agree to this condition, the Ancient One must pay a sufficient price.

If you don't want an artifact, you want something else.

"You have the energy of the Cosmic Cube left in your body. 70 years ago, you absorbed some of the energy of the Rubik's Cube of the universe, and these energies allowed you to open the space-time passage and return to the current point in time. ”

Ancient One's gaze stayed on the necklace on Lao Wang's chest: "Your necklace is a cosmic treasure similar to the Infinity Stones, and it requires a lot of energy to use. It does not belong to this universe, and it is impossible to draw the energy of the universe itself like the Infinity Stones. ”

Lao Wang's eyes narrowed slightly.

He understood something.

"Do you have a way to give me enough energy?" Lao Wang's gaze moved downward, landing on the Eye of Agomoto on Gu Yi's chest.

"I can't use the Time Stone to absorb a large amount of cosmic energy, which will affect the laws of time, cause damage to the universe itself, and it will also easily attract the attention of powerful beings in the multiverse and the advanced civilizations of the universe, but I have other ways."

The Ancient One said: "Although Dormammu is the master of the dark dimension, I have the means to obtain a large amount of dark energy from the dark dimension, but I must first make sure that your necklace can absorb dark energy and will not cause harm to you. ”

"You can try." Lao Wang frowned, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

The ancient one stretched out his hand and pointed,

A dark energy emanated from within.

This energy is essentially the same as the energy in the Dark Book, the Hellfire of the Ghost Rider, and even the shadow energy of World of Warcraft, but in some different forms.

Lao Wang smiled slightly.

The Heart of Azeroth unleashed a pillar of azure light that enveloped the dark energy and completely engulfed it in less than a second.

The Ancient One's eyes were unblinking, staring at the Heart of Azeroth.

She could only perceive the disappearance of the dark energy, but not its current state, whether it was imprisoned, stored, or transformed, it was completely unclear.

But at least one thing is certain:

That necklace is indeed a cosmic treasure of the same level as the Infinity Stones, and it really has the ability to deal with the energy of the dark dimension!

"I will perform a dark ritual to summon the energies of the dark dimension to this world."

Gu Yi said: "How much energy you can absorb depends on your ability. ”

Lao Wang was still thinking about the question just now, and said, "Dormammu won't stop it?" ”

"Whether it's me or Casillas the Zealot, or someone else summoning the energy of the dark dimension, Dormammu will not stop it, because this energy is harmful to the body, it will eat away at our bodies and souls, and we will continue to pull us into the dark dimension, and eventually become a part of Dormammu."

"I have the ability to promise that I won't fall into the darkness, but this method still takes a lot of damage to me, so for a maximum of 10 years, I must cut ties with the dark dimension and abandon this body. Your necklace will not be eroded by dark energy, but there is one thing I want to remind you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Dormammu hasn't noticed you yet. But once your necklace absorbs the energy of the dark dimension, it will attract his attention. Ordinary artifacts are useless to him, but cosmic treasures are different. ”

Gu Yi said: "He will do everything he can to take away your necklace, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

"It doesn't matter." Lao Wang smiled.

Dormammu is no more powerful than the Void Lord, and he can't really come into this world.

Nothing to be afraid of.

"As soon as Dormammu finds out that your necklace is not eroded, he will immediately cut off the ritual. It is simply impossible to absorb the energy of the dark dimension in this way in the future. ”

The Ancient One said, "So you only have one chance. ”

Lao Wang nodded.

"Let's get started." Ancient One said.

"Wait."

Lao Wang looked at Gu Yi: "You just said that the energy of the dark dimension will cause damage to your body?" ”

"Yes." The Ancient One replied.

Lao Wang was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Presiding over the dark ritual, the dark energy is actually transmitted to your body first, and then to my necklace?" ”

"Yes." The Ancient One replied again.

"In this case, won't it also cause damage to your body and even shorten your life?"

Lao Wang frowned slightly: "You don't have to do this. ”

"Everything has a price, and that's the price I pay." The Ancient One smiled.

Lao Wang shook his head: "This price is too expensive." ”

"Lifespan is not important to me, losing my body is liberation, and the eternal god has been calling me."

Gu Yi persuaded seriously: "So you don't have to care, it's my choice." You know, I've always wanted to die. ”

"I still can't bear it." Lao Wang sighed.

"Then do your best to protect the earth."

Gu Yi looked to the sky: "After this ceremony, if I want to live a few more years, I can't do it again." The heir of the Supreme Mage has not yet appeared, and the little girl you want me to teach has not yet come, and it will take time. ”

Lao Wang was silent for a moment, his voice was flat but firm: "I'm here, no one wants to invade the earth." Thanos can't, and neither can Dormammu! ”

"That's what a guardian does. Director Wang, the earth depends on you. ”

Gu Yi raised his hands: "It's not early, let's start." ”
