Chapter 0035 - Someone Who Is About to Be Struck by Lightning

Earth, in the Himalayas, a man and a woman stand on a peak somewhere in a snow-capped mountain.

The man is dressed in cloth, and he looks more energetic when bundled. The woman is bareheaded, dressed in a yellow hooded robe, and has a strange temperament. The two of them, who were so thinly dressed, were able to stand still in this snowy place, and they were obviously not ordinary peopleβ€”they were indeed not, they were mages from Kama Taj. The man's name is Casillas, and the woman's name is none other than Kama Taj's strongest, the Supreme Magician Ancient One.

Looking at the entrance of Kama Taj, the land of mages, in a small village not far away, the ancient one suddenly asked, "How is the situation?" Are all barriers gone? ”

"The mages sent to various places are reporting the situation one after another, and there is no news from a few more remote locations, but judging from the current situation summarized by Modu's side, the barrier that trapped the entire Himalayas before has indeed disappeared."

Koichi nodded and didn't speak again, but Casillas couldn't help but speak.

"Master, shouldn't we do something?"

Hearing this, Gu Yi glanced at him, and then asked lightly, "What do you think we should do?" ”

"Answers, of course!" Casillas said a little excitedly, "We have been trapped for three years at once, and we already know that this is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. Maybe Dormammu, the monarch of the dark dimension, corrupted one or more humans? We should find out who he or they are and how many people ......"

At this point, the Ancient One interrupted him.

"What do we do if we find them, if we identify them? Kill them? ”

Casillas' face was a little ugly. It took two or three seconds to adjust his mentality and take a deep breath: "Even if you don't take such extreme measures, at least you have to know why they are trapping us, right?" And how do they ......?"

"I don't care why he's trapping us, or what kind of way he's using it. I just want to know why he suddenly chose to stop at this time. ”

In fact, there are more ideas here. The other party trapped them, considering their functions as a Kama Taj mage, there were actually only two possible reasons. One is that, as Casillas analyzed, it is possible that Dormammu corrupted one or more humans in a way unknown to the mages, giving them access to the ability to trap the entire Himalayas for three years. However, not to mention that ordinary people can't have contact with Dormammu at all, and the ability to trap the entire area doesn't seem to come from Dormammu's power system, so this possibility is actually very small. Then there is only the second possibility left - the function of the Kama Taj mage lineage, in addition to defending against threats from dark dimensions similar to Dormammu, is to deal with the arrival of life in another dimension and time travelers. To be honest, the Ancient One had never encountered so-called other-dimensional beings or time travelers before, and even the history of Kama Taj rarely recorded similar cases, but this time, it may really be like this.

By the way, the ancient one remembered that many years ago there was a fluctuation similar to the invasion of alien travelers. At that time, she went to the scene of the fluctuation - the Great Lakes region of the United States to investigate, but found that it was just an alien life form that had crashed on Earth. And that lifeform later became a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the ancient one secretly observed for a while and found nothing unusual, so he stopped. It can't be that two things that have been separated by twenty or thirty years are still related, right?

These are things that Casillas does not know. After listening to Gu Yi's words, he was not unhappy when his speech was interrupted, but was stunned. The ancient one is right when he says that how some things happen is not as important as why they change suddenly. Often, this change symbolizes that things are pushed – or pushed again – to an unpredictable and uncontrollable situation, and this is especially true for Kama Taj, who has been trapped for three years. But Casillas' attention is not on this point, at least not for the time being. He noticed that the Ancient One was talking about "he" instead of "they" that he had been using before.

"Do you know who he is?" Casillas asked immediately, a slight change in his tone that even he hadn't noticed.

Gu Yi glanced at him faintly again, then turned his head and continued to look into the distance.

"I don't know who he is, but I've had a couple of brief fights with him."

"The result?" Casillas asked.

"He also seems to know about Dormammu's existence, and he needs me to stop Dormammu, so he didn't kill him." Gu Yi said with a cold face, "And I can't help him." ”

"How is this possible!" Casillas looked incredulous. "You are the most powerful mage on earth, how could that person ...... You still have the Eye of Agamotto......"

The Eye of Agomoto is a time gem among the six primordial stones in the universe, allowing the user to travel to any point in time in the past and in the future, read the experience, and even manipulate + control time and grasp cause and effect. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but the truth is that even if the Ancient One used it, he would not be able to defeat the mysterious man who trapped them for three years.

"But it's not entirely a matter of strength. There was something in that person that I couldn't understand. Gu Yi said as he muttered, as if he was just talking to himself and as if he was deepening his own thoughts. He seems to possess some kind of artifact or ability that can interfere with or suppress the effects of Agamotto's Eye. And the strange barrier that he came up with that only separates us from us and does not affect ordinary people also seems to have some kind of dΓ©jΓ  vu quality in it. ”

Hearing this, Casillas's face changed: "Dormammu? ”

"No, it shouldn't be Dormammu."

Casillas couldn't hold back and shouted: "Then who is he?" ”

Gu Yi shook his head: "Like you, I also want to know the answer." ”

At the same time, in Asgard, which is far away, the answer that the ancient one wants is not complete, but it is gradually being revealed.

One of them, Luo Luo, was tied to a chair next to a shelf filled with glass bottles of various chemical solutions. These chemical solutions are generally used by forensic technical experts in police departments on Earth, plus the lightning rod that is now erected behind Rollo, no, the lightning rod, obviously, if the mysterious leader who is excitedly operating all this is trying to replicate the process of Barry Allen, the Flash of the Justice League, who is one of the elders of the Justice League, to obtain the speed of power.

The question is, how did he know about the process? It can't be that he is like Rollo, watching comics and TV series, right? Or is he from a world where there is a real Justice League, and he is really familiar with the members of it?

All kinds of invective can't change the result of being struck by lightning, and Rollo can only change his target and try to get as many clues as possible from the mouth of the mysterious leader. The mysterious leader was secretive about his identity, but when Luo Luo asked about some other information, he didn't have much to hide. Is this really going to win the trust of Rollo and let Rollo be his copy of the Justice League's copy of the Flash?

So what the hell is he trying to do?!
