Chapter 425: Crystal Ball

"This sword is unusual." Bai Ye picked up the sword, and the symbols on the sword gradually flickered. "It seems to be an artifact with some kind of special power."

Pym walked over to White Night, observing the sword intently. "Perhaps this is the guardian of Asgard, and may have a strong connection to the secrets of this altar."

The two set the mysterious sword aside and continued to investigate the rest of the altar. Around the altar, the symbols on the walls begin to become intricate and orderly, as if telling ancient legends.

At the same time, they delve deeper into the chamber under the altar. Walking into the chamber, they found more Asgardian symbols carved into the walls of the chamber, as if it were an ancient worship space.

"This chamber may have been used for sacrificial rituals." Pym speculated that they continued to search the Chamber of Secrets for clues. "And that hole could be the starting point of the space-time portal to Asgard."

Suddenly, the ant camera sent a signal of abnormal movement. Pym sees on the screen that the ants are discovering a hidden door on the other side of the chamber. "We may have more to discover."

The two quickly walked to where the ant was and discovered the hidden door.

The symbols on the doors are full of mystical power, telling ancient legends. White Night pondered, trying to connect the symbols to the words he had previously found in parchment scrolls and in the laboratory. Pym focused on the analysis of the structure of the door and possible mechanisms.

After some hard work, they finally found an activation mechanism. White Night gently touches a specific part of the symbol while Pym fine-tunes the door. With a low roar, the hidden door slowly opened, revealing a deeper area.

The moment the door opened, an ancient and mysterious aura rushed to the face, as if leading to another time and space. White Night and Pym exchanged glances for a moment, strengthening each other's resolve.

When they stepped through the hidden door, they suddenly entered a large, ancient cavern. The caverns are filled with Asgardian energy, and the walls are carved with intricate symbols and ancient legends.

Deep in the cavern, the two discover a mysterious altar. The altar is home to an array of ancient artifacts, including a glimmering crystal ball and a parchment scroll that chronicles the rituals of time and space.

The crystal ball was placed on the altar, and the surface was as clear as a transparent crystal, emitting a faint glow. White Night and Pym surround the altar, focusing their attention on the mysterious crystal ball.

The crystal ball is about the size of an orange and has a round shape overall. The surface is as smooth as glass, but the energy contained in it gives a sense of mystical power. Through the crystal ball, they could see a series of faint images reflected in it.

"It looks like a device for storing energy." Pym muttered to himself and scanned the crystal ball with a professional instrument. "Let's see if we can decipher the images."

The two of them leaned close to the crystal ball and gazed at the image that appeared inside. Scenes from Asgard flash in the video, with towering palaces, stately shrines, and sacrificial ceremonies. Each frame carries a strong historical atmosphere, as if you can travel back in time to ancient Asgard.

"It's an ancient piece of history, probably sometime in Asgard." White Night stared at the crystal ball, trying to make sense of the message it contained. "Maybe we'll be able to learn more about the Cloaked Man and Loki through this."

He touched the surface of the crystal ball lightly and felt a faint fluctuation of energy. He closed his eyes, as if trying to make some kind of connection with the energy contained in the crystal ball.

At this moment, he seemed to see some blurry images, some ancient rituals and mysterious scenes.

Pym further scans and analyzes the crystal ball in an attempt to unravel its mysteries.

As time passed, they gradually felt a time-traveling atmosphere from the images, as if the crystal ball recorded the energy of a special moment.

"This crystal ball may be a kind of storage device in time and space, capable of recording important moments in Asgard." Pym put the scanner back away, his eyes deep. "We may be able to use it to gain a deeper understanding of the history and secrets of Asgard."

White Night nodded, and they decided to leave the crystal ball in the cave and wait for the follow-up research. The two then turned their attention to the parchment scroll on the altar. The text on this scroll is still an ancient symbol and a mystical language, but they have gained some experience in studying the parchment.

Hakuya took out a special pen and began to carefully record the symbols on the scroll. Pym calls on advanced equipment in the lab to perform precise scanning and analysis of these symbols. They worked together to try to restore the message contained in this ancient document.

As the work progressed, they gradually gained a preliminary understanding of what was on the scroll. This text seems to describe a special kind of space-time ritual that involves the mystical elements and space-time portals of Asgard.

"This space-time ritual could be the key to connecting Asgard and the rest of the realm." Pym flicked his fingers over the words on the scroll, his eyes shining with thought. "We need more clues about the specific process and purpose of this ritual."

White Night is equally curious about what is on the scroll. They speculated that perhaps this space-time ritual was inextricably linked to the appearance of the Cloaked Man and the space-time anomalies in the wasteland.

"We need more information, and maybe find clues through crystal balls and other artifacts from Asgard." White Night frowned and thought, even though they had already made some discoveries, the whole mystery was still huge and complicated.

After agreeing on a plan to continue their research, they decided to leave the cave for a while and return to the lab. White Night, carrying the parchment roll and Pym with the crystal ball, carefully walked through the hidden door back to the altar's chamber.

Outside the cavern, they were once again confronted with the desolate sight of the wasteland. However, at this moment, their hearts are full of curiosity about the unknown and the expectation that the mystery will be solved. Beneath the ruins, the ancient secrets of Asgard seem to be about to be revealed.

Traveling through the wasteland, they came to the laboratory. White Night placed the parchment roll on the research table, while Pym carefully placed the crystal ball on a special device, ready to further analyze the energy within.

"We have taken an important step, but more information is still needed." White Night groaned, he knew that this adventure was full of unknowns and dangers, but they had no hesitation in solving the mystery of Asgard.

"As long as this mystery can be solved, whether it is Loki or Proxima Centauri or Ultron. You should be able to get answers. ”

Hank Pym said quietly.
