Chapter 558: "Honorable Retirement"
History took a big turn and returned to square one, and with the unanimous consent of King, Master Hamill, Daniel, and others, "Doctor Strange" Stephen Strange was designated as the next Supreme Mage.
Just like the ancient one said, Strange was a natural mystic, and the speed of his progress in the way of arcane art made Lu Xiao also amazed.
Although Wanda broke through the bottleneck one step ahead of time and temporarily surpassed Strange in strength, as she said, the Scarlet Witch who used the magic of chaos was not an orthodox mystic after all, and could not be recognized by everyone in Kama Taj.
Strange has rich experience in social practice, and his arrogant and conceited character has gradually been smoothed out in the process of concentrating on cultivation, and Lu Xiao believes that he can become a qualified Supreme Mage.
There are elders led by Master Hamill to guide Strange, and after Lu Xiao relieved himself of his heavy responsibility, he floated away with Yongzhen lightly on the grounds of seclusion and recuperation.
When he went to the Avengers headquarters to say goodbye to Rogers and Stark, all the Avengers thanked him for his efforts and hoped that Lu Xiao could live a peaceful retirement life in the future.
Lu Xiao's farewell ceremony, which was also attended by Nick Fury, said with some emotion: "I didn't expect you to retire before me at a young age, the world is really impermanent." ”
Lu Xiao smiled disapprerovingly: "Engaged in a dangerous job like ours, it is already considered lucky to be able to leave your life and retire safely." ”
Bidding farewell to the Avengers, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen left the earth, and the last stop came to the dwarven planet, Nidavel.
Lu Xiao, who was hanging his left hand, greeted Ai Cui who had been waiting in the palace for a long time with a smile: "Ai Cui, I'm bothering you again this time." ”
Ai Cui on the throne glanced at Lu Xiao's left hand: "I don't have to act here, will I still need a battle armor for the disabled and retired?" ”
Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a full set of acting, and I did get seriously injured when I destroyed the Infinity Stones." ”
Atri shook his head disapprenosingly: "Okay, I don't bother to pursue it, come with me." ”
After the battle, Thor told Atri about Lu Xiao's desire to build a new armor.
Thor took out all the Uru metal left over from the last smelting of Thanos' weapons, and Atri also melted down Thanos's vibranium armor to obtain a batch of vibranium of extremely high purity.
"Well, this is the armor you want."
Hanging from the armor stand is a matte finish of dark black light armor.
Outwardly, this armor is very thin, looking like it is more agile but less defenseless.
But in reality, armor made with both vibranium and Uru metal has incredible defense, and is extremely resistant to both physics and spells.
Referencing the design of the Black Panther Warframe, Atri installed special weapons that poured energy on the cuffs on both sides of the Warframe.
When the attack of the battle armor reaches a certain limit, Lu Xiao can expel the accumulated energy at one time, causing damage to the enemy in the form of a high-pressure energy flow.
In addition to Lu Xiao's battle armor, Ai Cui also used the remaining materials to make a sleeveless lining of the same material for Yongzhen at Lu Xiao's request, further increasing Yongzhen's survivability.
After handing over the armor and lining, Atri asked with interest, "By the way, aren't you going to Asgard to say goodbye to Thor?" ”
"Nope."
Lu Xiao shook her head without hesitation: "I have already said it last time, and I will see you again in the future." ”
Ai Cui glanced at Yongzhen funny: "I can't see it, you kid is quite dedicated...... Well, I'll wish you all the best of luck. ”
……
The biggest reason why Lu Xiao didn't go to Asgard was not as righteous as he said, mainly because of the Light Elf Queen Honora.
After the countries of the Nine Realms officially established diplomatic exchanges, Asgard followed the example of the countries of the earth and sent permanent diplomatic ambassadors to the kingdoms, and at the same time ushered in the permanent diplomatic missions of each country.
The Light Elf Ambassador received the Queen's order that once Lu Xiao appeared in Asgard, he would immediately report his news to Alfheim, and Honora would rush to capture the target as soon as possible.
Lu Xiao didn't understand why Honora was so obsessed with herself, and finally the well-informed Frigga explained the reason to him.
"The fertility rate of the light elf clan is extremely low, and Honora, who was born into a royal family, can only conceive once in her life, and of course she will want to choose as strong men as possible to conceive offspring to ensure the dominance of the royal descendants over the elven kingdom."
"Lu, the strength of your vitality is the only one I have ever seen in my life, and Honora can also see this, so it's no wonder that she will never forget you."
One thing to say, Lu Xiao was a little worried about the light elf queen who had been hungry and thirsty for an unknown number of years, so she simply couldn't see it.
After arranging everything and getting the new armor, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen's journey in the Marvel world should almost come to an end.
"Aletea, have all the automatons been destroyed?"
Altheia: "Yes, I have personally confirmed that there is nothing left behind, and it will not affect the course of the development of this world. ”
Before returning to the Overworld, Eijin specifically asked the two Shikigami if they would like to follow her on a trip to various worlds.
Fenrir had no nostalgia for the world where Hela was gone, and when Tamamo was still bowing his head and muttering, he agreed to leave with Yongzhen.
“…… To be honest, I don't fully understand the concept of parallel worlds yet. ”
Tamamo had been locked up in a shrine for more than 400 years, and after returning to the world, it took a lot of energy for her to digest the concept of countries and planets, and the parallel world in Eijin's mouth was beyond her comprehension.
Lu Xiao explained: "In fact, there is no essential difference between the relationship between the various parallel worlds and countries and planets, but the cost of travel is higher. ”
"If you still have nostalgia for this world, we won't force you, and maybe we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
Lu Xiao hadn't had time to calm down and comprehend the "gift" given by the Infinity Stones, but he had a hunch that after absorbing the power of the Space Stones, he should be able to freely travel back and forth to the worlds he had been to before without the World Return Scroll in the future.
Even...... I can choose the time to enter the world to a certain extent.
"No, no."
After hesitating for a while, Tamamo finally made up her mind.
"400 years of captivity have made the familiar world extremely strange, and the people and things I am familiar with have long been unrecognizable, not to mention ......"
Yuzao turned his flawless face, which was so beautiful that he was seductive, to Lu Xiao: "If you want to recover your strength at your peak, following you is the best choice." ”
Lu Xiao and Yongzhen glanced at each other: "I won't break my word, I will restore you to the nine-tailed state as soon as possible after returning to the main world." ”
"Now that you've made up your mind, let's get ready, we're going to go."
'System, return to the Overworld. ’
System: "Command received, return countdown, 10, 9......"
"0, teleportation begins."
'Goodbye, Marvel. ’
