Chapter 520: You Come and Be a Supreme Mage!
Although the terms of the transaction were negotiated, Stark and the American team who came from another time and space only got the time gem belonging to the ancient one for the time being, as for the mind gem and the space gem, Chris's argument was that his subordinates had already mastered Loki's whereabouts, and as long as they waited for a few days, they would soon be able to catch Loki and grab the gem.
Of course, this is just Chris's excuse, because except for his people, almost everyone thinks that the Mind Gem and the Space Gem are in Loki's hands at this time, if they are taken out directly, doesn't it show that there is collusion between him and Loki?
And Chris's rhetoric did not arouse the suspicion of anyone other than the ancient one at all.
Especially after crossing the foursome, it was no wonder that Chris would propose a deal with them, it turned out that he had already mastered the whereabouts of Loki and the gem.
However, they still have considerable doubts about whether Chris's subordinates can really catch Loki and grab the gems, after all, they have also fought with Loki and know each other well, although Loki's own strength is a little weak, but it is not ordinary cunning, not so easy to deal with. Thinking of this, the American team and Stark from another time and space immediately said that they could help, but Chris decisively refused.
Just kidding, Temo Loki is basically half of his little brother now, how can he not be "caught"? It's easy to get you involved.
And in the face of Chris's persistence, the crossing foursome can only choose to believe him, what can you do if you don't believe it? Could it be that they relied on themselves, in the time and space where the line of this world was completely deviated, to find a mage with a space gem all over the universe? It's desperate to think about, okay?
As for waiting for a few days, it is not a matter for them, because of the particularity of quantum travel, no matter how long they have been in this world, their own world has only passed for a short moment. And they've been waiting for five years, and they don't care about waiting for a few more days.
However, if they can't get the gem after a few days, I'm afraid they will really have to take a risk and make a second crossing.
And Chris didn't let them just do it, but asked Stark in this time and space to arrange for them to go to Saturn to play, one is to let Stark in another time and space gradually become their own parents in this world, and on the other hand, Chris is not worried that a few of them will stay on Earth, in case the other party finds out what is wrong, it will not be fun, so Chris also specially arranged for Frank to secretly monitor several people.
Soon, Stark in this plane left with four visitors from another time and space, but when Chris wanted to leave with the banshee girl, he was left behind by the ancient one.
In the hall, Ancient One and Chris sat opposite each other.
The banshee girl was taken by Mage Daniel to visit the temple, and the other mages also exited the hall under the order of the Ancient One, so there were only two of them left in the hall, and the atmosphere became a little tense for a while.
But Chris wasn't flustered.
That's right, the ancient one has indeed broken through, and it is no longer the peak of the ninth level during the battle in South America, and it needs the help of the Time Gem to fight with the pseudo-tenth level of the tenth-level battle, but the tenth level of the Eight Classics. This was already evident when Chris walked into the door of the New York Temple, and it was already evident from the obscure aura emanating from the ancient one.
This is obviously not good news for Chris, after all, the festival between the two sides is obvious.
But Chris is also different from the past, because of the strength that he has absorbed the power gem and the soul gem that has soared to the ninth level, Nova who is secretly on call outside the New York Temple, and Fei Ji and Wolazun, who are holding space gems and can support at any time on the planet Tatooine, are Chris's confidence.
Of course, more importantly, at this time, the Ancient One had already handed over the Time Gem to the American team in another time and space, so Chris believed that the Ancient One did not mean anything to him.
But it's true that my heart is full of doubts.
Because the performance of the ancient one today is really strange, from the very beginning, when he and Stark flickered through the foursome, they cooperated with him very much, and even sent out the time gem in advance in order to guarantee themselves.
This kind of behavior, which is very different from the past three times and twice against himself, is obviously very abnormal.
So Chris was a little confused for a while about what kind of medicine was sold in Gu Yi's gourd.
It's impossible that his charm has reached the point where the old **** of hundreds of years is full of spring, right? Hiss...... Thinking of this, Chris couldn't help but look at the ancient one's gaze strangely...... Well? Looking at it this way, although this old witch is bald, she is actually not ugly, is she? And although he is hundreds of years old, as an extraordinary person, the appearance of the ancient one is also very young, not as old as what Chris saw in the movies in his previous life.
Hiss...... If this is true, then what should I follow? Or should I start with?
"I'm running out of time!" Just as Chris was thinking nonsense, the Ancient One finally spoke.
Then Chris looked confused and waited for a long time to come to such a sentence?
"I think you should have felt it, I've broken through!" The Ancient One continued.
"That's right!" Chris nodded, waiting for the other man's next step.
"But you should also know that this is not a good thing for me!" Gu Yi said with a wry smile.
Chris's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood why the Ancient One would say that.
For the vast majority of transcendents, breaking through to level ten is definitely a great thing, because level ten represents the transformation of the entire life level, whether it is strength or lifespan, it is a earth-shaking change.
But the situation of the ancient one is different, the reason is that in the process of her past cultivation, in order to increase her lifespan, she absorbed too much of Dormammu's dark power, and this power from the dimensional universe controlled by Dormammu is naturally a deep imprint of Dormammu.
When her strength was still low, with her own willpower and the suppression of the power of the three major temples, Dormammu could not have a fatal impact on her, but as her strength became stronger and stronger, Dormammu's will will have more and more influence on her, and the final result was that the ancient one was completely blackened, not only that, from the moment the ancient one accepted Dormammu's power, her upper limit was also sealed at the same time, because no matter how she cultivated, her strength was firmly stamped with the label of Dormammu, and it would never be possible to surpass Dormammu, It can only be that after being assimilated, the power from cultivation is also cheaper than Dormammu.
It's like you can never expect to work for Daddy Ma to surpass Daddy Ma, but your salary and bonuses will be taken back by Daddy Ma's "Happiness with Salary".
And she can still resign if she works for Ma's father, Gu Yi can't even resign, because the result of her giving up the dark power is that her strength will explode, her life will be exhausted, and she will die on the spot.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you, and this sentence is the most appropriate way to describe the current situation of the ancient one.
"So what?" Chris asked after thinking about it, but there was a secret slander in his heart, you want to die and it doesn't matter to me? Could it be that because you are short of time, you want to ask me for a child?
Hesitating about the past holidays, he didn't sympathize with the ancient one, not to mention that the road was chosen by himself, who was to blame?
But to some extent, Chris's belly slander can really get to the point.
It's also thanks to the fact that Chris is strong enough now, and he is good at hiding his heart, otherwise the ancient one knows the dirty thoughts in this thing's heart, and he probably has to fight hard to release Dormammu and die with him.
Of course, it is impossible for the ancient one to look at Chris, let alone have any children, but it is true that he wants an heir.
"My time is running out, so Kama Taj urgently needs an heir, but unfortunately several of my disciples are not very angry, the best Casillas has fallen into darkness, Mordo is too stubborn and prone to extremes, and the king's heart is not firm enough to be suitable as an assistant." Ancient One said.
"But what does this have to do with me?" After listening to Gu Yi's words, Chris lost his previous calmness, his eyes began to wander, and he seemed to have anticipated what Gu Yi was going to say.
"You know that Strange should have been the disciple I was destined to be, right?" Gu Yi said as Chris expected.
"Ahem, Strange? How can it be? Hahaha, he is a good friend of mine, if he can become your disciple, I will be too late to be happy! Chris snorted.
"Really? How about I go to him after today and take him as a disciple? Although he is stubborn, it is normally difficult for me to convince him directly, but I think with a little bit of a spell, this situation may change, after all, he is just an ordinary person now! Gu Yi said with a light smile.
Hearing this, Chris's face became a little cloudy, of course he didn't want Strange to inherit the Supreme Mage, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately developed medical technology, wouldn't the purpose be to prevent Strange from coming into contact with the Mysterious Realm? But he didn't expect Gu Yi to say this directly...... Even now he was already thinking about whether to let Nova do it...... Of course, it was not against the Ancient One, but against Strange.
"Chris, I know we've had some misunderstandings in the past, but I'm sure it's not unsolvable, isn't it? There's no need for you to be so wary of me. Seeing Chris's expression, Gu Yi put away his smile and sighed.
"Your Excellency laughed, I don't remember any misunderstanding between us." The performance of the ancient one is too weird, and Chris decisively turns on the mode of opening his eyes and talking nonsense.
"Whew...... Okay, Chris, let's be blunt, I know you have a great prejudice against me, and even the whole Kama Taj, and you want to destroy the whole Kama Taj, just like you destroyed Attilan and Wakanda, and if I'm not mistaken, your next target should be Atlantis, and as for Kama Taj, you just don't want to do it for the time being because you are afraid of losing too much. Seeing that Chris kept pretending to be garlic, Gu Yi simply picked it out.
And the straightforwardness of the ancient one also made Chris's expression completely cold, Attilan and Wakanda are not strange, Chris never thought that he could hide from the ancient one, but he even knew that his next target was Atlantis...... Hehe, is it a time gem again?
"So, are you ready for a complete showdown with me? I just don't know if I want to grasp the banishment this time? Or just kill me? Chris sneered.
"I can't kill you, I can't trap you, and I can't banish you. So I want to negotiate terms with you! The Ancient One confessed.
"Interesting, really interesting! Is it because of the Time Gem? At this time, Chris finally got up, and the amount of information revealed in the ancient one's words was a bit large.
"Are you finally willing to talk to me?" Gu Yi didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Prove your sincerity!" Chris said after a moment's thought.
"I've already given it, haven't I?" The Ancient One took a deep look at Chris and said, "Or will you give me back the Time Stone?" ”
Chris was a little embarrassed when he heard this...... No wonder the Ancient One gave the gem so happily before, indeed, if Chris grabbed the Infinity Gauntlet in another plane, how could he possibly return the Time Stone to the Ancient One? He wondered how Gu Yi could make such a mistake, he could only say that he was a villain in the belly of a gentleman, but as an excellent businessman, being thick-skinned is the basic skill "Ahem, okay!" So what do you hope for besides the Time Gem? And what do I get? ”
"What I want is simple, and that is to ensure the legacy of Kama Taj! It's up to you what you get! Gu Yi said with a deep gaze.
"What do you mean?" Chris frowned.
"How about you becoming a Supreme Mage?"
"Ahem, your Excellency, this joke is not funny at all!" Ancient One's words almost made Chris's heart beat twice, what are you kidding? Let me be the Supreme Mage? Is it April Fool's Day?
"Of course I'm not kidding, the Time Gem has already been given to you, as long as you have the reason, I can always hand over my life's learning to you." Gu Yi said very seriously.
After confirming that the ancient one is not joking, Chris also recovered to his normal color, calm down and think about it, the ancient one's idea is really very operational, as long as he becomes the successor of Kama Taj, then Kama Taj is his own force, and the contradiction between the two sides naturally no longer exists, and also as the successor of Kama Taj, Chris will definitely pass on the spell to his descendants or subordinates, after all, Kama Taj's many spells are still very practical, so that Kama Taj's inheritance is naturally impossible to break, It's a breathtaking thought, and Chris is really excited.
"Hey, aren't you afraid that I will become a supreme mage and slaughter your disciples and grandchildren? How stubborn those guys are, I don't think you don't know, right? I don't think they'll do my bidding, and didn't you say Frank was some Kama Taj Destroyer before? Chris smacked his lips.
"Posterity has its own posterity, my time is running out, I can't shelter them forever, and many times, destruction also means new life, doesn't it?" Gu Yi said meaningfully.
“…… Well, if you are a teacher like you, they are unlucky! Chris shrugged.
"You also said that I am only their teacher, not a master, and I think you should understand the difference!" Gu Yihun didn't care.
Chris was stunned when he heard this, and then understood that although with the changes of the times, the word teacher will be used when talking about master or teacher, but in fact, English and Chinese are the same, master and teacher are two words.
Teacher is just a teacher, and teacher should be another word that many people are familiar with...... Master, the difference in meaning is very big.
Do you want to promise the ancient one? After three seconds of silence for the disciples of the Ancient One, Chris was once again in a tangle.
