Chapter 153: The Battle with the Ancient One
"Yes, magic."
Peter said to Uncle Ben, "But it's not the kind of magic you performed when I was a child. ”
In the memories of his predecessors, he remembered that Uncle Ben was very good at magic.
Pull out a coin from behind your ear, or pinch your nose and let yourself sneeze and you will "squirt" the coin onto the table by sneezing.
"No matter what kind of magic it is, Peter, it's meant to make people happy or show goodness, this"
Uncle Ben looked at Aunt Mei and shook his head, "It won't be magic. ”
Peter didn't speak, just frowned and stared at Aunt May's uncomfortable expression.
Suddenly, his eyes froze.
The bat, which was entrenched near Sunset Park, suddenly passed the news about the Ancient One to himself.
The bat, which has its own consciousness and doppelganger, has discovered the trace of the ancient one at this time.
"Gwen, you stay here to take care of Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben, I'll go out first, don't go out, wait for me to come back."
After saying a word to Gwen, Peter hurried out of the living room.
Although he had no feelings for the mage, perhaps he could tell him what was going on in New York.
Why are so many people trapped in nightmares?
And what is the existence of the guy who expelled himself from the dream?
After exiting the living room, Peter transformed into a swarm of bats and dissipated in place, heading towards the destination where the Ancient One had been discovered.
Near Sunset Park, a swarm of bats regrouped and took on human form.
Peter stood in the park, looking around.
There were no people around, only shadowy trees, benches in the shade, and garbage cans not far away.
Peter surveyed his surroundings for a moment, then turned around.
Where there was no one behind him, a figure appeared.
A bald woman in a yellow monk's robe, the Ancient One, stood in front of Peter with her hands behind her back, smiling at him.
"Are you looking for me? Mr. Parker. ”
"Almost."
Peter looked at the other party and said slowly, "Do you magicians like to stand behind people without making a sound?" ”
Facing this Supreme Mage of unknown strength, Peter's expression was solemn.
"I've been here all along, but you haven't seen it, Mr. Parker."
"Uh-huh, are you telling me about psychological effects? The Ancient One. ”
Peter's brow furrowed, and he said to the other party.
"I never trust a theory, but I never deny a theory unilaterally."
Gu Yi put his hands behind his back, took a step closer to Peter, and said, "I have been standing here, an objective existence, not your imagination, not your imagination of psychological effects. But the specific presentation of the medium, sometimes. You can't see it. ”
"You mean your soul?"
Peter said calmly, "I'm sorry, I really don't have much interest in your so-called soul. ”
"But you, Mr. Parker, your soul is amazing!"
The Ancient One Master walked up to Peter, looked him in the eye, and said, "Your soul is connected to countless numbers, still and in motion, moments and eternities, all by your peer, and you can connect countless possibilities, countless possibilities that have not yet arrived. ”
"Really?"
Peter's expression was slightly surprised, "What a surprise! ”
"Mr. Parker, don't you think so?"
The Ancient One asked him with a smile.
"No, I just heard that the Supreme Mage is the most powerful mage in the world, so I'm surprised that the mage gave me such a high evaluation."
"So."
Peter paused for a moment and continued to ask the other party, "Can I understand that the Ancient One Mage has been spying on me?" ”
"No, I just know."
Gu Yi shook his head and said: "Time is infinitely long for me, when I step on the long river of time, my eyes will more or less stay in a corner, so at a certain moment, I saw you." ”
She didn't seem to care too much about the wariness Peter exuded on her.
Instead, he was unusually interested in Peter himself.
"I thought that a bad person like me would not care much about the Supreme Mage."
Peter said in a slightly surprised tone.
He felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be able to see through his heart.
The feeling made him uncomfortable.
"Bad? The concept of bad and good is never simply defined, I prefer to believe in the power of emotion, the power to maintain human support, if this kind of thing exists forever, how can it always be biased in a certain direction? ”
"If you lose your emotions and become vassals, you will fall into the trap of good or evil."
The Ancient One Mage had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Sounds unfathomable."
Peter nodded, and after confirming that the other party had no ill will towards him for the time being, his inner vigilance was lowered by half.
But unexpectedly, in the next second, the ancient one mage suddenly slapped a palm at himself!
Peter immediately reached out to block the attack.
In the spatial area where the two of them were, with the palm that Gu Yi struck, the air suddenly fluctuated.
The space around the fluctuating air is strongly distorted.
It's as if the air has become a tangible structure, stretched and twisted by a pair of invisible hands, and at the same time, the space is in a state of collapse and atrophy, and the irregular stretching changes the spatial structure.
At the same time, there was a scorching heat, and a mysterious aura emanated.
The mysterious and amazing aura that rushed to the face immediately began to spread throughout the park area.
Air distortion and stretching changes come and go quickly.
After releasing the scorching aura, it disappeared immediately.
Peter's expression was serious, feeling the change in the energy of the space around him.
He knew that he had been pulled into some mysterious space by the Ancient One.
"What is this? Did you open the wormhole? The Ancient One. ”
Peter, with a solemn expression on his face, asked the other party.
The space magic that the Ancient One Mage had just cast, he could explain it scientifically.
"It looks a lot like the Lane Si Serin effect."
Peter's gaze cooled, he looked at the other party, and said slowly:
"Information is also a light wave, and when it is transmitted in different space-times, it forms a rotating wave and distorts in space-time. Any area that is passed through by this space-time wave will be stretched and twisted like a noodle. ”
"Structural stretching also emits a large amount of hot gas at high speeds. However, I have seen this kind of simulation demonstration in physics theory class before, but I didn't expect to see the real space-time wave effect now, which looks really spectacular! ”
The Ancient One Mage was not embarrassed by the "sneak attack" just now.
A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "That's your contradiction, Mr. Parker, your body, your abilities, come from science, you can occupy and simulate those people's bodies, have their memories, but the opposite. ”
There was a complicated look in her eyes, "Your soul is at odds with science. What a paradoxical existence, it makes you fall into complex problem thinking. ”
"That's your soul, whether it's yours alone, or whether it's a patchwork of countless souls with memories that you have."
As her words spoke, the space around Peter changed.
On the ground he occupied, countless hands emerged from the dirt and grabbed at him.
The palms of those who were killed by themselves, grabbing their ankles and running along their bodies, tried to climb up.
Peter snorted coldly.
As black lightning spread from the surface of his body, countless arms crawling on him all turned into dust in an instant.
"Soul? I never think about these contradictions. ”
He stretched out his hand, and the many illusions born of the distorted space, including the constantly changing or stretched or distorted space around him, were all shattered in an instant.
"The so-called soul and the supernatural, if you force yourself into such doubts, then it is easy to be troubled by them."
Peter used the talisman of life to shatter the illusion that the ancient mage had imposed on him, and then said slowly:
"Uncle Ben told me that magic is just a skill that makes a difference, and as long as you try to achieve it in a certain way, then it's a kind of magic."
"If you abandon this mystery and have a firm heart, this subjective will existence, this magic, this . . The so-called supernatural, you will see clearly what is inside. ”
Peter said coldly to the Ancient One.
He believed that magic had always been driven by a psychological effect, that is, by subjective idealism.
Of course, that's not to say that magic doesn't exist.
Rather, he believed that the premise of magicians using magic was that they were unwavering, more concentrated, and had a positive psychological effect, which led to the birth of magic.
The magic of the Marvel world also follows this doctrine, and the power of idealism combined with the spiritual power of the outside world is combined to give birth to magic.
And this "spiritual power" from the outside world seems to be a bit illegal.
Peter is strong in his heart, even if he devours countless people and inherits many memories, he is still mentally strong, so he never falls into this kind of mental predicament.
A strong soul, a strong psychology that does not hesitate, and a life talisman acting on the soul allows him to see through the soul illusion created by the ancient mage.
The other party wants to test his soul, but he will not stop so easily.
Peter raised his right hand, and in the stunned gaze of the ancient one, the bloodstone ring emitted a beam of red light, and shot towards the other party.
Gu Yi reacted quickly and reached out and waved forward.
"Boom!"
The place where the two were standing changed.
The ground changes in inclination at an angle of ninety degrees.
The beam of light emitted by the bloodstone shot out obliquely and disappeared into the sky.
In the next second, Peter moved in front of the Ancient One Mage, and swung his palm forward violently.
The Ancient One mage stretched out his hand and instantly condensed into a magic circle, resisting Peter's attack.
"Bang!"
A dull voice rang out.
Gu Yi took two steps back.
With a "click", the place where Peter was standing began to crack.
And where the ancient one stood, the "boom" rose.
"Stunning! Mr. Parker, you have no doubt about yourself. ”
The Ancient One mage put his hands behind his back, and the corners of his mouth still smiled, "Even if you don't know all about the universe, I am still amazed by your performance. ”
