Bab 292: Chapter 291
The bald woman was none other than the Sorcerer Supreme herself:
The Ancient One!
In the Marvel Universe, she was the most powerful human on Earth!
At this stage, no one on Earth was stronger than her!
Her power lay in her mastery of formidable magic.
Because of her presence, many dark dimension creatures and powerful races from the cosmos dared not trouble Earth.
Even Thanos only began planning his invasion of Earth and the retrieval of the Infinity Stones after her death.
At this moment, a red glow flashed over the Ancient One's body...
It turned out that Scarlet Witch, noticing Chen Ye's grave expression, had made a move, using her chaos magic.
Quickly, Scarlet Witch's face showed a look of surprise.
She realized that her chaos magic, when applied to the Ancient One, had no effect whatsoever.
It was as if it had entered another dimension!
"Aha!"
The Ancient One looked at Scarlet Witch, smiling slightly. "Wanda, your magic is fascinating, and your potential is immense. I hope you learn to harness it well."
Scarlet Witch was even more shocked. "You know me?"
"Of course, in the future, you become a powerful warrior, but your fate has already been altered."
As she spoke, the Ancient One turned her gaze to Chen Ye.
"Ronan Anderson, at your service, Sorcerer Supreme!"
Chen Ye bowed slightly, showing utmost respect.
This person was someone he couldn't afford to offend, and someone truly worthy of respect.
Chen Ye had no intention of becoming enemies with the Ancient One.
Her entire life had been devoted to protecting Earth; she was the great guardian "god" of the planet!
Calling her a god wouldn't be an exaggeration.
In terms of raw power, the Ancient One might not even lose to Odin, the All-Father!
"It seems you know me."
The Ancient One smiled as she looked at Chen Ye. "Ronan, that isn't your real name, is it? Can you tell me your true name?"
"I'm sorry, Sorcerer Supreme, but I cannot reveal my true name."
Upon hearing this, the Ancient One's tone grew slightly stern. "It seems there is an unfathomable entity behind you."
Chen Ye remained silent.
In a major quest world, it was forbidden to disclose any information about the Reincarnation Space.
Violators would be eliminated.
Suddenly, the Ancient One spoke again, "I know why you're here to see Stephen Strange, Ronan. You don't need to worry; I'm not here to stop you."
Hearing this, Chen Ye was quite surprised.
He knew the Ancient One could see the future, so she must have foreseen tonight's events.
He thought she had come to intercept him and protect her disciple.
He didn't expect the Ancient One to say she wasn't here to stop him.
The Ancient One smiled. "Ronan, I can see part of the future, and I can see that you have a courageous and fearless heart. I once had high hopes for Stephen, but since you appeared, Earth will be safer. So, whatever you intend to do, I won't stop you."
Chen Ye was stunned.
The Earth is safer with me around?
"Then why are you here tonight?" Chen Ye couldn't help but ask.
"Just out of curiosity!" The Ancient One smiled. "Ronan, you have quite an extraordinary talent. Those who come from the same place as you, they will all be surpassed by you in the future. I hope you stay true to yourself and use your power wisely."
Chen Ye was at a loss for words.
In front of the Ancient One, who had lived for over a thousand years, he still seemed a bit immature.
At this moment, the Ancient One stood up, as if preparing to leave.
"Ronan, I hope you don't unduly influence Stephen. He is, after all, the future leader of Kamar-Taj."
"Rest assured, I will leave soon and won't affect his destiny," Chen Ye replied.
Hearing this, the Ancient One nodded and smiled. "You are welcome to come and have tea with me anytime. You know where to find me."
"Alright, it's a deal."
"Oh, and Ronan, a word of advice: don't go after Thor. You will anger the All-Father and bring great trouble upon yourself. That old man isn't as easygoing as I am."
After saying this, the Ancient One drew a golden spell circle in front of her, stepped through it, and vanished.
Seeing this, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were both astonished.
"Master, who was she?" Scarlet Witch asked.
"A powerful sorcerer, a wise person, and someone worthy of great respect!" Chen Ye sighed.
Putting aside her status, the Ancient One's deeds, silently resisting the dark dimension and protecting Earth in this universe, were indeed deserving of admiration.
...
Chen Ye then frowned.
The Ancient One's warning before she left had made him cautious.
Chen Ye did indeed have plans to make Thor acknowledge him as his master.
He had assumed Odin wouldn't know about it while Thor was on Earth.
But it seemed things were more complicated than he thought.
As the All-Father and a super-strong deity at the Skyfather level, Odin's powers were immeasurable.
And as Thor was the prince of Asgard, Odin clearly wouldn't allow his heir to bow to anyone else.
But without Thor, Chen Ye's plan would be greatly impacted...
Just then, the lights in the living room suddenly turned on.
The future "Doctor Strange," Stephen Strange, was standing on the balcony with a gun in his hand, looking down at everyone.
"Hey! I don't know who you people are, but get out of my house! I've already called the police!"
Stephen Strange threatened fiercely.
But Chen Ye and the others could tell that the guy was really scared.
Chen Ye didn't want to waste time talking to Stephen, so he waved his hand, and Quicksilver dashed forward.
There was a sudden gust of wind.
In the next moment!
The gun in Stephen's hand was gone, replaced by a banana.
"Hey! A banana isn't going to scare anyone," Quicksilver joked.
"What?" Stephen looked down, stunned. "What the hell is this?"
He remembered holding a gun, so how did it turn into a banana?
Before he could think too much, Stephen quickly realized he couldn't control his own body anymore.
"Oh, God!"
Under Scarlet Witch's chaos magic, he slowly floated toward Chen Ye.
Then, Chen Ye employed his usual tactic: he first used the scepter to control Stephen Strange, then ordered him to swear allegiance.
After a series of moves, Chen Ye gained another loyal follower.
"You have recruited a subordinate. Current task progress: 4/10!"
…
(Author note : Using the scepter to avoids dragging out the narrative. Otherwise, if I had to give long speeches for each recruitment, this quest would end up being hundreds of thousands of words, which I'm not interested in writing, and I'm guessing none of you want to read either.)
