Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

However, if beings from another world kidnap the lives of beings in this world, then as their guardian, she must step in.

“If you want to fight me and destroy the whole of New York City, then go ahead, I don’t care,” Rhodes said.

Just kidding, I'll transform into a dragon and you can try me.

Although you have defeated countless demons from other dimensions, I still have a last trump card to save my life.

I can't beat you, I can run away anytime!

But before you run, I'll definitely give you a big one.

The Ancient One knew perfectly well just how powerful the creature in front of her was, and how much of a threat the evil flame-like being beside him could pose to New York City.

"What do you want?"

“Not only do I want to take these two guys with me, I also want you to give me some of the power of the Time Stone,” Rhodes said.

Please, you delivered yourself to my doorstep. Just pretend you didn't see it and let me leave!

You insist on coming out so I can extort money from you.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi frowned again.

I'm going to die soon, what if this guy comes again?

The new Sorcerer Supreme is no match for him. Neither Stephen Strange nor the King has grown up yet, and the latter hasn't even come looking for her!

Chapter 135 I'm here to negotiate, Ancient One, Life Blessing Magic

"I will allow you to take some items, but the people you kidnapped must remain. You cannot harm any life in our world, and as for the power of the Time Stone..."

"I can't give it to you, and you know I have the Time Stone, so you should know that no matter what damage you cause, I can use it to repair it," the Ancient One finally said.

In fact, if the other party causes great damage, she can still use the Time Stone to repair it and restore everything to its original state.

The Time Stone possesses immense power.

Using the power of the Infinity Stones once is fine, but what about a second time? A third time? Do I have to use the Time Stone to repair it every time this thing causes damage?

Gu Yi wasn't confident he could keep the other person, which was the most important thing.

After the other party quietly left last time, the Ancient One had already reinforced some of the spatial protective barriers on Earth to ensure the safety of the three great temples.

But this guy came again without a sound, once again infiltrating her world, so the Ancient One knew clearly that she couldn't stop him from entering this world.

If we completely offend the other party this time, will we or our successor be able to deal with the other party's retaliation next time?

As the guardian of the entire Earth, the Ancient One has many important missions to fulfill. In the Dark Dimension, there are many beings even more evil than her, all vying to devour the Earth; they are utterly destructive demons.

The other party was not an evil demon god, but more like a mage, although the magic he practiced was very strange.

Therefore, if there is an opportunity to negotiate, she will prefer to choose negotiation to avoid fighting. She will not choose to fight unless absolutely necessary.

"I don't want your Time Stone, I just want a portion of its energy. That won't cost you anything."

"And as you've seen, I possess the power to destroy a city with ease, but I am not inherently an evil demon god. On the contrary, I am a nature-based deity." Rhodes smiled and said, as a surge of life energy appeared in his palm.

Negotiation is naturally the best option. Although I'm not afraid of fighting, I'll have to retreat afterward, since the power of the Time Stone is too unpredictable.

"Are you a deity of the natural life system? I doubt it! Although you have a very powerful life force and the power of nature within you."

"But there is also an extremely evil power, though very weak, and that little guy beside you, it's a thoroughly evil being," the Ancient One said.

The other party's body does indeed contain a life force, but when he first came, his entire body was filled with an evil force, a very evil force, as if it were the nemesis of life and order.

Everyone has secrets, and aren't you the same?

"You also possess powerful dark forces within you; I can sense them, even surpassing my own power," Rhodes said.

The Ancient One did not deny this, stating that she wanted to extend her lifespan to protect the Earth.

She also absorbed a portion of the dark power, and this dark power constantly eroded her soul.

“Here’s what we’ll do! I’ll give you a complete recipe for the Extinction Potion. I obtained the recipe from several years in the future using the Time Stone. It’s a modified version by Hydra. Release these two ordinary humans, and I will erase their memories. They have their own destinies to live,” the Ancient One said.

If they were two ordinary people, the Ancient One would naturally not interfere, but these two people are related to Tony Stark's fate.

It was a life-changing experience for Tony Stark, a spiritual evolution, and even a trial that would determine whether he and Pepper Potts could successfully be together.

Even without this crisis, it's hard to say whether Iron Man would upgrade his armor in the future, and many things in the future would have been different.

Tony Stark's future is crucial, and so is the future of his daughter with Pepper Potts.

If he disrupts what Tony Stark was originally supposed to go through, then perhaps the future Iron Man won't have that 1% chance of winning that war.

Therefore, the Ancient One's bottom line was that Rhodes could not be allowed to take the two doctors away; they had to follow their original destinies.

The target is the Extremis virus, which is no problem for her. She can use the power of the Time Stone to travel to a parallel timeline in the future and obtain a perfect formula for him, or even a large batch of finished products.

“No problem, this deal is on. My ultimate goal is the Extremis Virus serum, so what about the power of the Time Stone?” Rhodes asked.

"I still don't know your surname."

“You may call me Rhodes, the Azure Dragon Demigod.”

“Alright, Mr. Rhodes, please come with me to Kamar-Taj, how about we discuss this in detail?” The Ancient One opened a portal and said.

Rhodes smiled, handed the two kidnapped doctors over to the Ancient One, and then crossed the portal. He figured that even if he took the two doctors to the One Piece world, he would still need to find a way to subdue them before letting them start their research. It was better to just get the stuff right away!

Gu Yi altered the other person's memories, restored the situation in the laboratory, and then left with Rhodes.

"Please sit down, Mr. Rhodes. What would you like to drink? Coffee, black tea, green tea? Or perhaps some alcohol?" The Ancient One changed her clothes and led Rhodes into a large living room, speaking as she did so.

There were many monks around, all looking at the guest that the Supreme Monk had brought back today with curious expressions.

"A cup of tea will do," Rod said.

Gu Yi nodded and gave instructions to the mages under his command.

Soon, a mage brought over two cups of tea and respectfully handed them to Rhodes.

"Please use!"

Rhodes smiled and nodded. After the sorcerer who served the tea left, Rhodes looked at the Ancient One and spoke.

"Then let's talk! Let's reach an agreement that satisfies both parties and is beneficial to both."

“You possess immense energy, even transcending mortal life. I want to know why,” the Ancient One said.

"You want to ask why I changed so much this time when I was so weak last time I came here, and my power was an extremely evil one, right?" Rhodes took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

The Ancient One did not deny this, but looked at Rhodes calmly and nodded.

It's really strange. When the other party came last time, any mage sent from here could have easily handled it, but this time, even we're not confident we can defeat them.

In just a few short months, what exactly did this person go through to achieve a transformation in their life level, directly surpassing the concept of mortals?

"Hehe! Ancient One, this has nothing to do with our deal, please forgive me for not being able to answer."

"I have a very special spell called Nature's Blessing, which can increase the lifespan of a living being," Rhodes said.

As a demigod of the wilderness who controls the power of life and manipulates several elemental forces, Rhodes possesses a blessing ability that can bless a mortal life form and enhance its vitality.

Furthermore, if one becomes more powerful in the future, these blessings can be altered, for example, granting the recipient control over natural attributes and magic, or even the manipulation of elemental forces.

"You mean... you want to use this blessing to exchange for the energy of the Time Stone?" the Ancient One asked.

“That’s right, I want to make a deal with you. I can bestow a natural blessing upon you, allowing you to live for several more decades.”

Your Kamar-Taj mages possess extremely powerful magical abilities.

And I happen to possess a powerful magical ability that I can exchange with you.

"How about we learn some magic from another world from each other?" Rhodes said.

The technology of teleportation, and the technology of opening mirror spaces, are both extremely useful to Rhodes.

"Thank you! I don't need any blessings or anything like that. If I wanted, I could live a very long time." Ancient One shook her head and directly refused Rhodes.

She absorbed power from the dark dimension, and could live a very long time if she wanted to. With the Time Stone, she could also foresee future fortunes and misfortunes. If she didn't want to die, she would never have died.

“I only want the energy of the Time Stone. If I don’t get what I want, I will be very disappointed, and when I’m disappointed, I get very angry. Believe me, Ancient One, you don’t want to see the consequences of my anger,” Rhodes said with a smile.

"I can let you access the Time Stone, but only for one day, and I will stay with you during that day in exchange."

"You may come to our world in the future, but you must not harm the civilians of this world, nor cause great destruction to our world," the Ancient One said.

She could accept it as long as the other party didn't want to steal the Time Stone; if they could promise not to cause destruction in this world, that would be good too.

“I can agree to that, but if anyone provokes me, I won’t hold back,” Rhodes said.

“Sure, as for magic, I can teach you a spell to open a mirror space. You probably want to learn that, right?” the Ancient One said.

The opponent possesses extremely powerful spatial abilities, but it seems he doesn't quite know how to use them yet. He will naturally comprehend the ability to create a subspace sooner or later.

It would be better to do him a favor now.

"Hahaha! I enjoy talking to intelligent people, Ancient One. I will grant you or someone you designate a life blessing, allowing them to live for several more decades."

"This promise is valid indefinitely. If you don't want it, you can give it to someone else. How about you teach me the spell to open the portal?" Rhodes said.

"OK! Deal."

“Ancient One! Don’t you want to experience the magic of other worlds? Very powerful and amazing magic.” Rhodes smiled and then took out a book containing fel magic.

It contains detailed instructions on how to receive fel energy infusion to become a warlock, as well as various fel magic spells. Rhodes even infused it with a trace of fel energy, making it possible for someone to undergo fel energy infusion and become a warlock.

“Look! The spells on it are very peculiar; they are magic from another world,” Rhodes said.

“No! I can sense how dangerous the magic on it is, even the energy is dangerous. Thank you, we don’t need this.” Ancient One frowned and pushed the fel energy manual that Rhodes handed her back.

"Haha! Power itself is neither right nor wrong; the key is how you use it. Didn't you yourself accept a power from the dark dimension?"

"Believe me, this power may be evil, but it won't control your mind," Rhodes said.

Looking at the fel magic book that Rhodes handed her, the Ancient One hesitated for a moment before ultimately choosing to refuse.

The statement that power itself is neither right nor wrong might fool ordinary people, but it's not something you can fool yourself with!

Practicing dark magic can indeed distort the user's mind; this is no joke. Countless mages have fallen from grace after coming into contact with the power of the dark dimension.

Seeing that the other party refused, Rhodes did not say anything more and took back the book of fel magic. It seemed that his idea of ​​tempting the Ancient One to learn some fel magic had failed.

“If you give me some of those life magic spells, then I might be willing to trade,” the Ancient One said.

She didn't want evil magical energy, but she still really wanted some normal magical power.
