Chapter Ninety-Six: The King
"Ancient One Master?"
Chen Sheng was about to take a sip of hot tea in the same way, but this name made his arm hover over his chest.
"That Ancient One, did you know I was coming?"
A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind for a moment.
"Can you ask anything?"
Chen Sheng said.
"Yes, I'll know it."
Wang nodded.
“... Excuse me, what does it mean that Kama Taj no longer has a Supreme Mage. ”
Chen Sheng did not forget the main purpose of his visit.
"Although I don't know why you don't even know this, but the Ancient One, he is our Supreme Mage."
Wang still had the same expression, and said in a calm tone.
"However, he died in the fight against the dark forces."
"That was before Thanos invaded this world."
“... So the Time Primordial Stone was taken away without the protection of the Supreme Mage? ”
Chen Sheng probably understood.
It's just that he couldn't figure it out, that ancient one looked unfathomable, and he didn't know who would defeat such a powerful supreme mage.
"Who is Master Stephen Strange?"
He asked coldly.
"Strange is a disciple of the Ancient One."
Chen Sheng thought for a moment, and the arm hovering over his chest moved again, holding the porcelain cup, and taking a sip of the slightly hot fragrant tea.
No wonder, the sources of his power seem to be people closely related to the Time Primordial Stone.
This Strange Master is probably the successor of the next generation of Supreme Mages, right?
But judging from the current results, it is clear that he has not guarded the Time Stone.
"Can you tell me more about Thanos?"
Wang nodded and said.
"Of course. It all started with a big green guy falling from the sky. ”
The teacup at the long table gradually cooled slightly.
Chen Sheng sat on the ground and listened quietly to Wang's story.
Occasionally, he would ask questions.
And the king will answer him as well.
However, since he was not a member of the Avengers, and he needed to guard the temple from being attacked by evil from other dimensions, he did not participate in the final war against Thanos.
But he roughly knew what was going on, so he told Chen Sheng everything.
It was a cosmic invasion.
And Stephen Strange, who participated in this battle for the Infinity Roughstone, did not return.
The Rough Stone of Time was also taken away.
And most importantly, it's not just the world that has taken half of its population.
It's the entire universe, with a snap of a finger, wiped out of half of its life.
Chen Sheng was speechless for a long time.
In the king's later account, he told Chen Sheng that after that terrible disaster, the original stone disappeared.
Here's the news brought by the Avengers.
After wiping out half of the life in the universe, the Primordial was destroyed by Sanos.
And Chen Sheng already knew this.
"The Infinity Primordial is the embodiment of the supreme origin in our universe, not only have we lost half of our living beings, but I am also worried about whether our universe will be able to cope with the prying eyes and coveting of other multiverses after losing the primordial stone."
At this point, the smile on the king's cheeks finally retracted, and in its place was a look of deep worry.
"This is no longer just a problem of the earth, and may even be related to the safety of the whole universe."
"That Thanos thought he was saving the universe by doing so, but in fact, he was bent on dragging the universe into endless danger."
"What a complete lunatic..."
When the king talked about this Sanos, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Why is there always these incomprehensible guys in this universe jumping out and making a mess of things..."
"King, king?"
Seeing that the other party fell into a long sigh, Chen Sheng couldn't help but remind him twice.
"Ah, I'm sorry, where did I just go?"
Wang stopped sighing as if talking to himself, and looked at Chen Sheng again.
"Why did you know I was coming? What did the Ancient One Master say to you. ”
Chen Sheng asked.
“... In fact, I don't even know what your name is. ”
The king replied.
"But the Ancient One once summoned me to a special one, and told me that soon after we lost the Primordial of Time, a mysterious mystic mage would come to Kama Taj, and he asked me to return to Kama Taj when everything was settled, and wait for this man to arrive, and unconditionally help him answer any doubts he had, and... One thing for you. ”
"I didn't quite believe it at first, how could we lose the Time Primordial Stone under the leadership of the Supreme Venerable?"
The king smiled wryly and shook his head.
"But soon after, the fall of His Holiness took place."
"And then, we literally lost the Primordial Time Stone we were guarding."
'Is the Ancient One sure I'll come back...?' ’
Chen Sheng was thoughtful.
He couldn't help but think of the deep eyes of Gu Yi in the secret realm of time.
However, he was not too surprised, after all, that person had once held an intact Time Stone, and his own Dao was probably not enough to see in front of this Supreme Venerable.
"My name is Chen Sheng."
Chen Sheng briefly introduced himself.
"King, why do you conclude that the person who is waiting for the ancient one is me?"
"What's so difficult about this, I know all the mystic mages in the world."
The king looked at him with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
"But I've never seen you."
"And as soon as you entered Kama Taj, I felt the exuberant arcane energy in you, and you are already a real high-level arcane mage."
“... We've only just reached this level. ”
Chen Sheng said very modestly.
Can he not be modest, after all, all his strength comes from Kaihang...
It's completely different from the arcane mages who have upgraded from normal hard meditation.
"It's already pretty good, you can reach this level at this age, and to be honest, I've only seen this terrible talent in Strange."
Naturally, Wang didn't know the true source of Chen Sheng's strength, and he even wondered if Chen Sheng was the ancient master who had left something behind in order to hide something for the future.
A candidate Supreme Mage hidden in the shadows, while Strange is on the surface.
However, he didn't dare to ask anything directly, Gu Yi explained to him, he only answered unconditionally, but he didn't mention what he wanted him to ask.
Therefore, the king will only act strictly according to the words of the Supreme Venerable.
"Alas, after the flickering incident, our group has also suffered varying degrees of losses, and the three sanctuaries can only barely be defended now, but there is not a single high-level mage left."
Speaking of sorrow, the king began to sigh again.
The First Vein of Secret Art is now at some risk of declining, the Supreme Venerable who led all the mages and apprentices is gone, and the new successor has not yet been able to inherit the title of Supreme Mage, and as a result, the people are gone, and even the time gems that have been guarded by the First Vein of Mystic for thousands of years have been taken away and destroyed.
He never dreamed that it had only been a few years, and the ancient secret art had been subjected to these great changes one after another.
Even if Wang Yuan's arrogant personality is at this moment, there is always a trace of sorrow in his heart that cannot be erased.
“.....”
Chen Sheng was silent for a moment, and then asked.
"The Ancient One Master left me something?"
"That's right, if you don't have any other questions, please come with me."
The king calmed down, restrained the sadness on his face, and stood up. Let's read the book network on mobile phones, please visit 『』, the full text is free to read online
