Chapter 321: The Apostle's Heart
"Impossible!" Agatha dismissed Luke's words without thinking, and she turned to look at Luke with a mocking look on her face, "Only the ignorant can say such things.
Magical knowledge is vast and boundless, and even the Ancient One cannot master all the magic! Not to mention someone I haven't even heard of."
"Really? If that makes you arrogant, give it a try." Luke was unimpressed by Agatha's taunts. I looked at her and said, "I can prepare a battlefield for you to experience for yourself."
"I'm glad to expose such a clumsy lie of yours." Agatha said calmly. Although she has always been a teacher of education, this does not mean that she is a good person. Her nature and need for magic is to chase more magical knowledge and greater power.
"Come with me." Luke snapped his fingers, and several dense curtains of light appeared behind everyone. Luke stepped in first, followed by the silent Herder, Wanda, and finally Agatha, whose face was slightly solemn.
Scene transformations.
The four of them from Luke's treasure room were instantly in an empty arena.
Craggy gravel floated around them, guarding the circular area at Luke's feet, which had a radius of a kilometer.
"Mirror space? No, it should be a modified solidified magic-like one. How do you do it? Is the energy you create really that magical? Wanda has mastered it, too, but it's not doing as well as it should."
The moment she stepped into the space, Agatha was keenly aware of the power of the magic that roamed in the space around her, and she could even vaguely detect what kind of magic it was from the flow of energy. She sensed something familiar in it, one that belonged to the magic of Kama Taj.
"It's perfect. I can only count this as a variant of it. As for the level of the energy I create, it depends on who the user is and how high his authority is."
Luke voluntarily moved out of his seat, and a floating piece of rubble collapsed into a seat, and then floated behind Luke and Wanda, and after the two of them sat down, it rose high and floated away from the center of the battlefield, surrounding the battlefield as a satellite.
There were many similar gravels all around, like seats in the arena, looking messy but moving in a certain pattern.
"Are you ready?"
Feeling the magic in her body flow unfettered again, Agatha looked at the silent Heard and smiled, purple energy rising from her body, turning into a torrent of energy and rushing in the direction of Herder.
The purple torrent submerged Herder entirely, and then, like a power source, flickered for a moment, and then turned into dots of purple light scattered around.
Agatha staggered back two steps, looking at Held, who had just stretched out a hand to cut off the magic of her spell, her face full of incredulity.
If Herder chooses to use other magic to fight, resist, or even restrain herself, she doesn't care, but the other party uses a forbidden countermeasure.
It's a good, not very practical piece of magic. What is particular is to restrain the other body with the other's way. To put it bluntly, it's about using the same magic to restrain and interrupt your magic progress.
It's easy to say, but it requires a lot of knowledge of the magic you're using, and being on par with or far more proficient than the caster!
Knowledge of a certain type of magic is fundamental to its use, but it also requires a high degree of timing and power to successfully use it in the heat of battle that is constantly changing.
This is the basic root of all magical countermeasures and restraints. It's the most back-to-basic, and it's also the most shocking.
Who was the last one to use this tactic to make a big splash, defeating all the mages and wizards present and making them all have to be convinced?
It's the Ancient One!
That's why she is revered by all the mage factions as the Supreme Mage!
This is the most straightforward way to combat the strength and weakness of all aspects of magic. Whether it's magical knowledge or combat experience, as well as the use of energy, etc
and so on, all contained in it.
So once you fail, it's a failure without any excuses.
Agatha was furious, almost as if the mentor was fighting for the apprentice, and she felt intense discomfort and anger.
Energy was around her again. One magic after another turned into a rain of light as she chanted and incantations, enveloping Herder overwhelmingly.
With so much magic, many of which are dangerous spells that belong to a faction like Agatha that can only be mastered and wielded, any one wrong response will lead to a cascade of domino reactions.
Agatha didn't believe anyone could deal with such a ban under the bombardment of such a high frequency of magical attacks and cold spells.
Even if the ancient one is alive, it can't be!
She believed that the Ancient One had a corresponding way and means to deal with it, but she didn't believe that she only used this simple and terrible means to deal with it perfectly.
The ancient one is not good, and the strange mage named Herder in front of him is even worse.
However, the scene that made her childlike eyes expand because of shock was vividly displayed in front of her eyes. The other party did what she thought was impossible!
For a time, Agatha's hundreds of years of knowledge and experience were somewhat subverted.
"How did you do that?" Agatha looked at Herder in shock.
"Your biggest mistake is to use magic against me." Herder's voice sounded softly, "I am the master of magic, representing the apostle of magic. All magic is useless to me. At least for you.
It might be better to just attack me with energy instead of wasting time chanting those spells."
"It can't be! Are you a god?" Agatha shook her head fiercely, the confrontation of energy is not impossible, and she doesn't mind using the purest energy to decide the victory. But this undoubtedly means that her spell magic is useless to the other party, and she has already lost this battle of magical knowledge and means.
She does have a final means of hiding, but so what?
Again, this is not a life-or-death battle.
Agatha relentlessly used some of the spells she had created herself, but it still had no effect. The other party's response hasn't even changed.
Knowing her spell magic better than herself, the creator, this ridiculous scene unfolded in front of Agatha. Whether she accepts it or not, it has become an established fact.
"I throw in the towel." Agatha reined in her spreading magic, and she looked at Helde with a sense of surprise and longing, and she now had a desperate desire to learn from the other, or to explore the other's mind.
She wanted to know what the other party could do all of this. She also wants to learn and master this power!
"Is it over so quickly?" Wanda was a little dazed when she returned to the venue.
"The collision of magic, if it is not a life-and-death fight, then these few encounters are enough to see who is strong and who is weak. It's not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong, but only if he gives you a chance." Agatha said.
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Luke to the side, "Where did you find her?" Why had she never been heard of before? I think that if the Ancient One is still around, she will probably have to give up the position of Supreme Mage to this Herder Mage. She's close to, or herself a magical god."
"This is a bit exaggerated, although the Ancient One Mage doesn't mind, but the appearance of Herder is inseparable from the support of the Ancient One." Luke waved his hand.
"What do you mean?" Agatha was vaguely aware of the strangeness in her words. What does it mean that the Ancient One Master doesn't mind? Isn't the Ancient One dead for a long time? The current leader of Kama Taj is the successor of the one named Stephen Strange.
With the dark lord Dormammu as the [Trial of Emperor Weishan], he successfully guarded the atrium under the opponent's hand, and thus succeeded to the throne.
"Looks like you're not very well-informed." Luke glanced at Agatha meaningfully, "It's no secret that the Ancient One is not dead, or rather, she is alive in some strange form
and still alive and well."
"Fake Death?" Agatha thought of this possibility in an instant, and muttered to herself in distraction, "I should have thought of how she could have died so easily, or at the hands of her own apprentice."
"Is she an apprentice of the Ancient One?" Thinking of Luke's previous words, Agatha, who had come out of her state of absence, glanced at Herder and asked Luke in a low voice.
"It's a bit biased to think so, but it's okay." Luke said, "She is the work of creation that combines all the knowledge of the ancient mage.
I recently broke through a technical problem and successfully made her. Unique."
"Manufactured? Isn't she a human being?" Agatha only felt that the impact she had received today was greater than the sum of her hundreds of years of life.
A strange, suddenly appeared, magical skill and knowledge so deep that it made her feel terrible, enough to make her feel horrified, only to be told by the man in front of her: This mage who made her feel terrible was just a creature?
Who could have made such a terrifying mage?
God of magic?
Is the strength of the ancient one really that strong?
"It depends on how you understand it, if you think she is life, she is life. But if you look at it harshly, she's still a long way from her real life." Luke replied.
"Did the Ancient One make her? Or are you?" Agatha's eyes wandered over Luke and Huld's bodies. Originally, she thought that her disciple Wanda was the closest person to the source of magic, so she spared no effort to cultivate her, teaching her how to control and tame her own violent and dangerous power. But looking at Herder now, she felt a strong sense of confusion.
"The Ancient One is busy with her own rite of enlightenment." Luke didn't finish, but the implication was already revealing who the real maker was.
However, Agatha did not grasp the meaning of Luke's words, she was only shocked by the information Luke revealed.
"The Ancient One is preparing for his own rite of enlightenment?" Agatha shouted. Wanda on the side also looked sideways. As a member of the Avengers, she still knows something about the Ancient One. She knew that the Ancient One was powerful and terrifying in terms of magical attainments, but becoming a god?
"After the White Magic of the Visan Emperor and the Black Magic of Sithorne, the third magical concept god based on elementals and psionic powers." Luke spoke calmly about the earth-shattering information for Agatha.
Luke didn't care about the Ancient One borrowing his energy to become a god. Now the new energy is enough to support the sharing of several demon gods.
What's more, if it weren't for this, why did the Ancient One refuse the solicitation of many great gods and pay so much for the energy bank and him to run?
This also means that the other party is completely planning to tie up with him, which is closer than the Trinity of Emperor Weishan.
Odin is also a little greedy for the current state of the Ancient One, so he will learn from the Ancient One to abandon Asgard and the Nine Realms and show his attitude.
This is the transformation of an entire hierarchy and system of power.
Agatha was silent. She thought about her previous thoughts now, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness and shame in her heart.
"Will the mages of Kama Taj switch to the Ancient One's spells in the future?" Although Wanda is also shocked, compared to her relatives and friends, her personality does not care about these external things. She just asked with some curiosity.
"It's up to the Ancient One Mage himself. But from what I know of her, she probably wouldn't do that. It also takes time for a new system to be established and matured." Luke Road.
"That's why she appeared?" As if she understood something, Agatha glanced thoughtfully at the silent and quiet Herder.
"She was created to help the Ancient One mages record and parse all kinds of magical knowledge and energy, and was created as a magic processor. That's why I said she wasn't a whole life." Luke said, "After the Ancient One mage didn't need her anymore, I transformed her core a second time and became what she is now."
"That is
She's just a tool, isn't she?" Agatha's eyes lit up.
"That's right." Luke thought for a moment and nodded. At the beginning, it was a core, and it was used as an intelligent magic supercomputer, which was indeed a tool.
Now?
For Herder, the core that has been remodeled may be regarded as an energy core, or a magical heart.
It has been tainted with too much of the aura of the Ancient One, and if there is no accident, it will become the equivalent of the [Book of the Emperor of Weishan] and the [Dark Divine Book].
The difference is that Luke gave it a shell and life.
"How can I get access to your energy and learn from this Herder mage?" Agatha collected her mood and spoke up.
She didn't think about the question of whether to grab it now, but how to get Luke to agree to accept her. She didn't expect to be the new magic god like the ancient one, but she could always be the first mage under the gods, right?
