Chapter 320: Open One Eye, Close One Eye
"Anyway, you should be the supreme mage of one universe, and if you are the supreme mage of two universes, you will do the same. What's the difference? ”
Gu Yi pursed his lips, seemingly a little unhappy.
The Eye of Agamodha is the supreme artifact of Kama Taj.
Inside is an infinite primordial stone that can warp time and go back in time.
If this were to be replaced by other mages, I am afraid that they would all be ecstatic and nod their heads in agreement.
As a result, it was Luke's turn, but he refused outright.
Supreme Mage doesn't want to lose face!?
"Thank you for the kindness of the ancient one, but it's a pity that I just want to live a peaceful life."
Luke replied rather perfunctorily.
The Ancient One had obviously dug a pit waiting for him to jump in.
The Eye of Agamodha is not only the supreme artifact of Kama Taj, but also the inheritance token of the Supreme Mage.
If you really want to take over, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to take on the work of the ancient one.
Although, Luke has become a Supreme Mage.
But how deep the water in the 91 universe is, he still hasn't figured it out.
It's just that he was forcibly appointed by Emperor Weishan, and for the task reward, he sat in that seat.
This universe, judging from the current situation, is definitely more complex than the cinematic universe.
In case he just took over the seat, and then the Celestial Group called, the Life Court appeared, the five gods hung up, and the big event of restarting the multiverse began...... So what to do?
As is customary, in the face of the great crisis that has swept the universe, a superhero needs to be sacrificed first.
There's Superman on the set next door, and The Flash takes on the job.
Decades are like a day, waiting to be sacrificed.
But in the Marvel Universe, it's a lot more complicated.
Because there is no fixed candidate.
Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel and others have all been sacrificed once or even many times.
If you sum up the rules, Luke thinks that the greater the fame, the easier it is to get this hard-won and precious opportunity.
After all, no one cares about the miscellaneous fish collar bento.
To sum up, being a Supreme Mage of the Universe is enough of a headache.
If there was another one, Luke feared that he would not be far from being sacrificed.
"Don't use the heart of a villain to live the belly of a gentleman, your thinking is too narrow, except for protecting the earth, the Supreme Mage does not need to sacrifice anything."
Gu Yi seemed to guess some of Luke's thoughts, and shook his head.
"There is some suspicion and malice towards anyone, and it is not easy to suffer."
Luke smiled when he saw the Supreme Mage put on a frank expression of "I'm a positive person, how could I lie to you".
He himself is still a beacon on earth, a light of righteousness, and he does not do it once in a while...... Something that violates the rules.
Superheroes are just a little higher in morality, but with some kind of "right" purpose, they make big mistakes and create disasters - this has become the daily life of the Marvel Universe.
For example, the Ultron crisis.
It doesn't matter in the cinematic universe or in the comics.
The purpose of manufacturing Ultron was good at the beginning.
However, the results were not satisfactory.
The former led to the Sokovia Incident, and later the Superhero Registration Act, which planted the seeds of civil war.
The latter is even worse, as Ultron becomes the ultimate villain dedicated to destroying all life on Earth, bringing endless death and destruction to the world, a lingering nightmare for the Avengers.
In addition, the Light will banish the Hulk, triggering the subsequent "Hulk World War".
In order to prevent the earth from being invaded, he broke into the Skrull's planet to show his force, and then pretended to be unable to force it, but was grassed, and sent the heads one by one, which led to a secret invasion of the big event.
Similar to doing bad things with good intentions, making it impossible to end, and making innocent people pay for it, is completely the traditional art of the Marvel Universe.
As a result, Luke's trust in superheroes has always been only at a barely passing level.
Good people make mistakes, and unlike villains, they always get the punishment they deserve.
Good people will suffer from their hearts and will fall into self-repentance.
But when he saves the world again, his previous mistakes will be forgotten and he will still be sought after by the public.
Luke didn't think it was the right thing to do.
"Therefore, Agamatus is right in judging you, you are not willing to sacrifice for others, and you have a strong sense of self, which is difficult to meet the requirements of Emperor Vishan."
Gu Yi thought for a moment and shook the wooden-handled fan in his hand.
She has no prejudice against Luke, demanding sacrifices from others, and is no different from a robber.
It's just a pity that the bald mage has a little higher moral bottom line, and that is the perfect supreme mage successor.
"I was originally ordained. If Emperor Weishan thinks that if I sit in this position, I can transform my mind, then the Supreme Mage should not be. ”
Luke said with a shrug.
The steaming tea in the cup has cooled down.
He took a sip and calmly looked at Gu Yi.
"Okay, I'll take back that sentence from before."
The Ancient One put down the Eye of Agomodha in her hand, and when she realized that Luke was resistant to the words duty, obligation, and sacrifice, she seemed to remember something, and the corners of her mouth hooked.
"You should understand that sooner or later you will face a choice."
The Supreme Master was meaningful, and said slowly: "There is a saying in the East that when the sky falls, there is a tall man on top. ”
"The more power you get, the more power you have, and sooner or later you will have to stand in front of the whole world, the whole universe."
"What are you going to do then?"
The Ancient One asks the crucial question.
"We'll talk about it when we get there."
Luke's answer was perfunctory, and then diverted from the unpleasant and uninteresting subject.
He put down the teacup, brought up the idea, and got to the point.
"Doing business with the devil, and Mephisto?"
After listening to the narration, Gu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked unhappy.
She didn't have her own teacher, and Agaroda was so jealous and hateful that she had to stand up to hell.
It's just that teaming up with the great devil of hell to harvest human souls sounds like something that only an evil villain can do!
"There's no way Kama Taj can do it! Allowing the creatures of hell to enter this world, the three sanctuaries are equivalent to decorations, and they no longer have the value of existence. ”
The Ancient One shook his head and refused.
Luke has come up with a lot of ideas.
Some, she would agree.
For example, the formation of the Magic Congress is more deeply rooted in the world.
But there are some that involve the bottom line, and then there is no agreement.
"Ancient One, you misunderstood what I meant."
Luke also knew that it would be a fool's dream to have Kama Taj sit at the same table with Hell, the Supreme Mage and the Great Devil.
Even if the two sides are not completely opposites, there is little room for cooperation.
"The final home of the human soul is either heaven or hell."
Luke stretched out his finger and sketched the outlines of the Ten Realms.
He was in Kama Taj's library, and he had read the relevant materials.
It was precisely by doing his homework that he had the confidence to convince the ancient one.
"Unlike in religious texts, where you go to heaven to enjoy happiness and go to hell to suffer, in fact, heaven and hell are just two vast dimensional worlds."
The ancient one closed the fan with the wooden handle, and there was curiosity in his eyes, as if he wanted to know what the other party was going to say.
"The soul is the currency in circulation, and this statement is true in all dimensions."
Luke pointed to the map of hell and said lightly: "Whether you go to heaven or go to hell, the essence is the same. ”
"The soul is a consumable and cannot be recycled, that is, once a human person dies, there is no possibility of reincarnation and reincarnation."
"In that case, what is the difference between Heaven harvesting souls and hell harvesting souls?"
The Ancient One slapped his palms twice in appreciation of Luke's tirade.
The corners of her mouth curled up, and she chuckled, "No wonder you and Mephisto get along, you are more like a devil than a human, and you are good at demagoguery." ”
"Is this a compliment?"
The corners of Luke's mouth twitched, and he asked.
"Fair assessment."
Ancient One said.
The two men in the room were silent for a moment.
The Supreme Mage, who sat at the top, then answered Luke's previous question.
"Heaven and hell, Kama Taj is not on either side."
"However, the forces represented by the two camps, both light and dark, Kama Taj leans towards the former."
"The soul flowing into hell is indeed no different from ascending to heaven, it is all used as a consumable to support the existence of the dimensional world."
"But one thing, the devils of hell, the demons, they are born to sow the seeds of chaos and evil."
"Heaven though...... hypocrisy, but the angels still maintain the basic principles of righteousness and integrity. ”
The Ancient One rejects Luke's idea, and Kama Taj also has a position.
Between the black and white of heaven and hell, the Supreme Mage is clearly closer to the former.
"Then bring in the Three Sanctuary."
Luke didn't stop there, he guessed the Ancient One's answer.
How can cooperation be so easy to facilitate.
To put it bluntly, the image of hell is too poor, and it is not as bright as the surface of heaven.
"Companies need to face regulators, and the three sanctuaries can take on that responsibility, putting a leg on hell."
Like a cake, Luke took the initiative to carve out a piece and send it to the Supreme Mage.
"The rules and regulations are set by Kama Taj, and the Hell group, represented by Mephisto, needs to play according to our rules so that most of the problems can be avoided."
"As for the so-called 'harvesting souls', it's just to give them their final destination and stamp it in advance."
"It doesn't constitute a charge of evil."
With his head held high and his righteous and awe-inspiring spirit, Luke paused, and then said: "Even Emperor Weishan will not refuse the soul in his hand. ”
"And Kama Taj can also benefit from it."
"For example, use those reserved souls to pay the price of spell casting."
The Ancient One did not speak.
She was thinking.
The interests of Kama Taj must not be based on the suffering of innocents.
This is the bottom line of the Supreme Master.
Other than that, the Ancient One didn't have many precepts to follow.
About the Hell Syndicate, about Soul Currency.
She could see that Luke wanted to use this to establish a strong order that tended to be stable.
The prospects are promising, but it remains to be seen whether they will be achieved.
"The next time you talk to someone, don't talk about the relationship of interest so nakedly."
The Ancient One closed his eyes, then opened one.
"Kama Taj will not cooperate with Hell, but Mephisto will be under the supervision of the Three Sanctuaries for any act he does on earth."
"As for whether your plan to form an alliance of hell is successful or not, what will be the consequences......"
Seeing the Supreme Mage's expression and attitude, Luke understood, and naturally answered, "It's all up to me." ”
