In countless parallel universes, Tony Stark has indeed held the position of Supreme Mage, and even done it well.

It was in the comic universe, and now Ethan is in the cinematic universe.

However, the Cinematic Universe explicitly mentions the Multidimensional Universe, and Ethan is not sure if there is a parallel world where Tony Stark takes over the position of Supreme Mage.

What's more, the Ancient One was able to see countless possibilities for the future with the help of Ago's Eyes, which is estimated to include the future of Tony taking over this position.

"I still think the style of painting is weird. ”

"He is not a person who can be willing to hide incognito and protect the world in the dark. If he inherits the position of Supreme Mage, it will bring about a sea change for Kama Taj. ”

Ethan could hear it, and the Ancient One was worried that this change would make the existing mages of Kama Taj resistant, so Tony was not her first choice.

Who was the first choice? Stephen Strange, of course, who successfully transitioned from a doctor to a mage in just a short period of time.

There are still a few years left before the doctor gets into a car accident and then looks for a cure for his hands, which means that the ancient one is now ready to solve his own problems immediately, and if he fails, this gap will need to be filled by Ethan.

"I don't think it's a good idea. ”

"You can stay here for a long time, just a few more years. ”

For a top-level mage like the Ancient One, it wasn't too difficult to know Ethan's condition.

Unless Ethan used some means to shield the ancient one's induction into himself, it was impossible for the mana fluctuations in his body to hide from this Supreme Mage.

As for the question of not staying in a certain world for too long, Ethan originally thought that if he continued to study and master, he would be able to break through that tipping point sooner or later.

As a result, after arriving in the Marvel Universe, he found that due to the space-time anchor, his space-time pointer had a closer connection with the world, and as his mastery of space-time energy deepened, he no longer had too many restrictions in the Marvel Universe.

This is good news, he doesn't have to worry about his new ship being built before he has to return to the sea world, and he can wait here for the completion of his magic version, Prince Eugen.

But I finally got the free and easy time, should it be wasted in the position of the Supreme Mage?

"I don't want to be hidden in the shadows to protect the world. ”

To put it mildly, the whole explosion of this world has nothing to do with him, at most he will save those who have a good relationship, and he is not yet a virgin to care about the survival of the whole world.

Ancient Yi smiled and didn't speak, and Ethan said that he didn't want to be a Guardian, and that wasn't a problem. In fact, when many people are suddenly faced with such a choice, they will not say that they will definitely give everything to defend the world.

But many people who say this have taken action at critical moments, which is more trustworthy than people who say a bunch of beautiful words and disappear at critical moments.

In the eyes of the ancient one, Ethan is such a person.

Tony Stark, who could become the heir to the Supreme Mage, as well as Stephen Strange, who came into her sight.

When he learned of the Supreme Mage's responsibility, Strange said, 'This is my business, I'm here to heal my hands!', but when the world was facing a crisis, he stood up resolutely, a mage who had just learned magic for a short time, and could even be called a rookie.

Negotiating with Dormammu seems interesting to outsiders, but Strange is actually killed again and again in the time loop, and he could have broken the time loop and chose to serve Dormammu, or simply chose to die to get free, but he didn't, just to protect the world from harm.

Tony Stark also often said that he was not a saint who could sacrifice himself to protect the public, but when necessary, he could also risk his own life and carry a nuclear bomb to the Zitari mothership - although this did not happen in this universe, the Ancient One saw it through the eyes of Agamotto.

"You don't have to worry too much. ”

Looking at the smile of the ancient one's 'I've seen through everything', Ethan felt very stressed, and he decided to reveal some hole cards.

"Actually, I'm pretty sure I'll solve your problem. ”

Whether it is to fight the erosion of the magic of the dark space or to cut off the connection of the dark space, Ethan is not sure enough, but he can choose an easier way: protect the soul of the ancient one and abandon this body that has been eroded by the darkness.

The mages of Kama Taj have a very deep study of the soul, and a master of the level of the ancient one can control the separation and fusion of his soul and body at will, and even use some characteristics in the soul state to assist in cultivation: for example, Stephen Strange uses the slower time (or faster reaction speed?) of the soul state to gain more learning time, so he can grow up in a very short time.

"Only the soul?"

The mages of Kama Taj had never considered this practice, they were free to detach the soul from the body, but the connection between the body and the soul was very close and subtle, and it did not mean that separation was separation.

Even in the state of the soul out of the body, the death of the body can be a fatal blow to the soul: it is almost common sense that the soul must depend on the body to exist.

Even if these mages who have specialized in cultivation have more powerful souls, their souls will also die out after they have no body, or they will be recruited to places like Hades.

Whether it is to die or be sent to the realm of the dead by the power of the rules, it is impossible to survive completely in soul form.

The Ancient One did not directly dismiss Ethan's words, but curiously asked for details.

With her insight and knowing Ethan's origins, she does not have such a huge sense of rejection for unknown knowledge, but has a thirst for new knowledge.

The content of the next chat was more like two different factions of mages, discussing completely different spell systems and knowledge, and the ancient one finally understood how Ethan wanted to solve his own problems.

Whether it's surviving purely in soul form or reinventing a new physical body, it's a good choice.

What's more, the body may not be destroyed, and if he seems to have died in an accident, Dormammu may not notice anything abnormal.

After waiting until she is out of the limelight, Ethan can do some of the work on her corpse and then resurrect her soul from the new body to life.

Even if the original body can't be used, Ethan also gave a solution.

The same method that was going to be used on Howard Stark and Maria Stark worked for her, using some genetic samples to create an artificial embryo.

Then use technology to cultivate them to grow quickly, and send their souls into this embryo at the right time, such a resurrection may be better than resurrecting directly with spells.

Gu Yi never thought that she could do this, not that she didn't understand the development of science and technology in this world, but that she was used to thinking from the perspective of magic and habitually ignored the power of technology.

"That's fine. ”

The advantage of this is that she doesn't have to do anything in a short period of time, and she doesn't have to solve her own problems in a hurry. She just had to let things go and die at the right opportunity.

Ethan can protect her soul, she just needs to arrange the affairs of Kama Taj in advance, and then wait quietly for the opportunity.

According to the future she sees, the best chance to die happens to be the time after she has chosen an heir and even completed the teaching, so that she can rest assured that she can step down from the position of the Supreme Mage, and there is no need to worry about the void period and the earth will fall into crisis.

"In that case, it seems that we need the help of this Iron Man. ”

Tony Stark has money and skills, only he can provide enough technology and equipment to cultivate a new body, and the new body also needs various equipment to assist if it wants to grow quickly, and the process in between is also very troublesome. It's not as simple as just finding an oven and throwing the embryo in, setting it for a minute, and then stinging, and everything is done.

"I'm sure he won't refuse. ”

At this time, it shows the benefits of the ancient one's previous offer, Tony Stark got the benefit from the ancient one, he is always embarrassed to refuse such a small favor, right?

But for Tony Stark, is the problem that money can solve?

So after listening to the general situation, Tony nodded directly in agreement.

The Ancient One provided a venue for Ethan to recall the souls of his parents, and when he cultivated a new body for his parents, he also cultivated an additional body for the Ancient One, which can be regarded as taking what they need, and both parties are satisfied, and there is no reason to refuse at all.

By the time a few people had talked about everything, the barbecue party had long since dispersed. And believing that it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, Ethan who thought of it simply asked them to go to the small space just mentioned, and Ethan was ready to solve the simplest thing today: summon the souls of Howard Stark and Maria Stark back.

Tony is also a man of action, and he doesn't feel inappropriate at all, because he and Ethan are both this kind of character, so they will be so compatible.

In the small space provided by the Ancient One, Ethan did not make much effort to successfully recall the souls of the Starks, and then after the two souls got into the cross in his hand, Ethan immediately dragged Tony and rushed into the portal that the Ancient One had opened in advance.

The moment the portal closed, he could clearly feel the terrifying fluctuations coming from behind him: it was the terrifying energy released by the destruction of space, and if he moved a little slower, he would have to face this terrible situation.

If he really had to face that kind of strong impact, Ethan was not sure that Tony was dead.
