"Here, a toast to the freedom of the Johnny brothers!"

Tony Stark stood in the middle of the newly decorated room, raising his glass and cheering to the crowd as if his own brother had been freed, but in reality, he and Johnny had only known each other for three days.

It's not for nothing that Playboy can become the darling of New York's high society, this guy's social skills are simply superb, and Johnny Blazer, who is relatively weak in this regard, was obviously moved by Tony's enthusiasm, and he and his dressed girlfriend Rosan, as well as Pepper Potz standing next to Tony, as well as Master Strange and Dr. Palmer sitting on the sofa raised their glasses at the same time.

Even Professor Charles, who has always been quieter, raised his glass in response, although he has been abstaining from alcohol for many years, and the other unsmiling fellow is Cyber sitting alone at the bar, well, full of a kind of single dog resentment, but recently Miss Thief, who has a little ambiguity with him, has gone to England to do his "business" again, so he is still a poor single figure now.

As for Catherine, the little girl who sat next to him and drank juice obediently, please, no one would think that this minor would be Cyber's partner.

"Wow, you're really good at throwing parties, Tony!"

Strange hugged Dr. Palmer, who had been with him for the bleak years before, and said to Tony and Pepper, "This banquet is simply the best." ”

Yes, it was a small banquet held in Tony's luxurious villa, to celebrate the victory in the hard-fought battle three days ago, and to celebrate Johnny Blazer's regaining his freedom, in the previous battle, he killed nearly a thousand evil spirits, and exceeded his promise to the Ancient One, and today, he will receive his soul.

Ten years ago, after he gave his soul, today, this long journey is finally coming to an end, he didn't know what it meant to him, but now he knows that it means everything.

"Speaking of which, you're in the mage camp, I mean..."

Tony scratched his head, unable to remember the awkward name for a moment, and Strange kindly reminded, "Kama Taj!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The playboy took a sip of his wine, "Kama Taj, don't the mages there attend the banquet?

This ingenious question stopped Strange, and Cyber turned around, leaned back against the bar, and helped the mage out.

"In fact, the Ancient One holds two very large banquets every year during the Spring Festival and Thanksgiving, and it is said that there will also be guests from outside the territory to attend, and for the magical world, they are the two most indispensable banquets of the year, and by the way, they will also invite some special mortals to go there. ”

Seber drank the wine from his glass and pointed to Professor Charles, who was sitting on the side, discussing the concept of soul with Johnny.

"As far as I know, the Professor has been there at least three times! ”

Tony suddenly looked at Professor Charles with envy, in the eyes of this engineering man, outsiders probably mean aliens or something, don't get me wrong, he is just envious that the professor can see aliens with his own eyes.

But in fact, in this city, there are many aliens who are unknown to ordinary people living peacefully, of course, this has nothing to do with our book.

The women gathered in another room chattering, Tony, the playboy, knew how to please women, he had prepared gifts in advance that would make them pick their eyes, so the men were free to get together to brag and chat, very relaxed, after the big war, this relaxation was necessary.

"Buzz"

A golden light lit up in the open space in front of Tony's villa, and everyone who was chatting stopped, straightened their clothes, and prepared for the arrival of the Supreme Mage, especially the local master Tony, who wiped his face and tried to make a more solemn atmosphere, this is the Supreme Mage, and any mortal who knows her identity will be honored by her arrival.

Only Cyber was still that lazy appearance, there were some secrets between him and the Supreme Mage, and the existence of these secrets allowed him to deal with his connection with the Ancient One in a contradictory friendship, and of course, the necessary etiquette must be followed.

It's his respect for power.

The Supreme Mage, who was still wearing the white robe that had not changed for a thousand years, stepped out of the portal of light, followed by her most trusted Mage Mordo, but this old-fashioned guy also changed into a neat suit today.

"Nice place to stay. ”

The ancient one who walked into the house smiled and nodded to Charles, then looked at Tony, "You are a very gifted person, Tony Stark, I know what you want to ask, but I can't tell you, I can only say that your fate will be ups and downs in the future, that is its baptism, and it will come soon, you have to be prepared." ”

Tony, who was called to break his heart, scratched his head a little embarrassed, he just wanted to speak, Gu Yi stretched out his finger,

"This year's Chinese New Year dinner, everyone present will receive an invitation letter as a reward for your contribution to the world, and as for the trade fair before the dinner, you can ask Charles, who is a regular there. ”

After speaking, Gu Yi's expression became more serious, she is a resolute person, although she cares more about etiquette, but it is just a matter of habit, she will not be bound by etiquette, she stretched out her hand, and Master Mordo took out a ring carved in the shape of a devil's head from his arms and put it in the mage's hand.

The Ancient One motioned for Johnny to step forward with his eyes, and the latter took a deep breath and stepped forward in Roshan's encouraging gaze, standing in front of the Ancient One with his hands down.

"I thought you would paint for 10 years, or even longer, to fulfill your promise, but I have to say that you did more than I could have imagined. ”

The Supreme Mage stretched out his hand, and the aura of seven blessings flashed on her arm, this scene made Catherine, Roshan, Dr. Palmer and Little Pepper Potts couldn't help but widen their eyes, this was the first time these women really saw the existence of high-level magic, after the aura faded, the outer layer of the devil's ring placed in the mage's palm flashed a strange purple light.

"Mephisto sealed your soul in his favorite ornament, and now it's yours, the effect of the soul contract is irreversible, but as long as you hold this ring, no one can take your soul away, Johnny... Accept what you deserve. ”

Johnny Blazer was a little nervous, he glanced at the calm ancient one, and then put his eyes on the ring that shone with purple light, he picked it up, and put it on the fingers of his left hand with some trembling, at the moment when the ring was trapped, a red hellfire suddenly rose from Johnny's feet, and quickly wrapped his whole body, the pain of the flesh being burned in an instant made Johnny can't help but let out a muffled snort, every time the evil spirit transforms will suffer the pain of burning his body.

But again, any pain, as long as you get used to it, is not so terrible.

And this powerful power blessed on his body made him involuntarily enter the state of Evil Spirit Rider. The burning skeleton made the women exclaim again, but the next moment, the flame rolled, transforming from crimson to a quiet blue, and the irritability and scorching heat characteristic of the flame were also smoothed out in an instant, and the skeleton wrapped in blue flames patted its face humanely, and the flames faded.

A Johnny Blazer, who was no different from just now, appeared on the scorched floor, and he looked at Tony with some embarrassment.

"I'll make amends!"

"It's okay! I really can't get enough of this scene..."

Tony waved his hand with a smile on his face, "It's much more interesting to watch you transform than in any magic movie." ”

"How do you feel about getting your soul back with your own hands? man?"

Strange stepped forward and slapped his left hand on Johnny's shoulder, and as he spoke to Johnny, he handed a glass of wine to Master Mordo, who looked at him, reached out to take the amber liquor, and raised his glass to Johnny, as if celebrating his rebirth.

"I don't feel anything... Let's be honest. ”

With a helpless smile on Johnny's face, he reached out and grabbed Rosan's arm, "I thought that with the soul I would be able to make Zatanos sober up a bit, but now it seems that I still have to continue to work hard, the spirit of revenge is still not very sober, but I now at least have some power to fight back, and I won't worry about being directly controlled by it." ”

"Which power is easy when you get it?"

Cyber walked over with a cigar in his mouth, casually stuffed a bottle of juice into Catherine's hand, replaced the wine glass that the little girl secretly picked up, and drank all the wine inside, Catherine jumped behind him with teeth and claws, strangled his neck, but it did not affect Cyber's words,

"Having a soul means that your hope of being bound has been opened, and your life has entered a new phase, Johnny, now have a good fight with that madman's soul, and let it see who is the real warrior. ”

He stretched out his fist and swung it into the air, this action made all the men laugh, he was always so tough and refused to admit defeat, but the more cyber like this, the more secure it was, and the ancient one who was sitting on the side of Professor Charles suddenly turned around, and her voice sounded in the house,

"Uh... I'm going to borrow Cyber and give us 2 minutes!"

"Huh"

The Supreme Mage, the figures of Cyber and Catherine hanging on Cyber disappeared in place at the same time, this scene made the others stunned for a moment, but between the identity of the other party, everyone quickly didn't care, that adult would not suddenly rise up to kill Cyber, right?

"Vomit"

The first time he experienced the teleportation technique, let the little girl run to the corner of the gorgeous palace in front of her with her stomach covered her stomach, retching, the terrible vertigo made Cyber a little unbearable, he shook his head, looking at the Supreme Mage who had walked to the center of the gorgeous palace, he couldn't help but ask,

"Where is this?"

"This is the control hall of the dimensional barrier I set up..."

The ancient one stood in the center of the palace, stretched out his hand to fiddle with the quaint ornaments in front of him, Cyber raised his head, and saw that the top of the palace above his head had turned into a sky full of stars in an instant, and even the walls of the entire palace had become the appearance of the Void Star Boundary.

"Look there!"

Ancient One stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, and when Cyber looked up, he saw that in this dazzling starlight, a black crack that made people's scalp tingle was appearing, and the starlight seemed to be repairing the crack, but every time the crack was just erased, the black speck-like existence would reappear.

Cannot be erased...

"Is that a rift in the rampart?"

Cyber asked softly, and Gu Yi nodded, "Rifts like this, this dimensional barrier that has been maintained for 1,000 years is everywhere, this wall, it's about to collapse, Cyber, do you know what will happen next?"

"Invasion of the Gods?

"No, that's just the best outcome... Do you know why the earth is so special, so special that the gods will have to regain their hands on it even for 1,000 years?"

The Supreme Mage sighed and said tiredly, "Because this planet is a rare place of origin in the entire infinite universe, in other places outside the region, every time the place of origin is discovered, it leads to a thousand-year war, and no civilization can survive that kind of extinction war, only here, this planet, still maintains a naturally developing civilization, which contains too many secrets." ”

"Above the gods, there are unimaginably powerful gods, the court of life that all gods fear, and even the giant beast that is said to have been born in the void, this world has never been quiet..."

"But these... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it?"

Cyber closed his eyes, "I'm worthless to you, and you don't need to pay so much attention to me, or are you still hiding something from me?"

"No, you're a traveler from a parallel world, there's nothing mysterious about it!"

The ancient one vetoed Cyber's speculation, she waved her hand, and the quaint sandalwood fan that she often took out to play with appeared in her hand, and she looked at this antiquity that had accompanied her from her apprenticeship to the present, and had been infected by the power of the Supreme Mage for a long time, so that this fan also had special abilities.

The Ancient One threw the fan to Cyber, who took it in his hand for some reason.

"You prefer to talk in a hired way, don't you? Now, Seber Hawk, I hired you to do a few things for me! I may not be able to change the reality that the wall is going to fall, but we can make it come a little later and make us more prepared... That's the commission I paid in advance. ”

"Interested in making some extra money?
