Chapter 154 The Perfect Woman
Chapter 154 The Perfect Woman
"I understand what you mean, you just feel a little uncomfortable, right?"
Lynn smiled.
"From any perspective, you seem to be the next Sorcerer Supreme, and the Ancient One has always groomed you as her successor."
"Then suddenly a former successor appears, and you're bound to feel a little uncomfortable. These are normal emotions; no explanation needed, I understand."
Strange's face darkened. "How come I never noticed before that you were so sharp-tongued?"
Lynn stopped Strange, who was about to leave.
"You know what, you've really come to the right person this time."
"Others may not know, but I know exactly what's going on with Casillas."
Strange looked at Lynn with some confusion.
"How do you know about the Ancient One's disciples?"
Lynn spread his hands.
"You've forgotten what happened in the previous timeline."
"By traveling to a different timeline, I learned many secrets."
It has to be said that going to a timeline that no one knows about is a perfect excuse.
Many things Lynn learned later could be explained using this excuse.
"Strictly speaking, that is indeed the case. Kaecilius was indeed groomed by the Ancient One as her successor."
"But then some unexpected things happened."
Lynn shook his head and sighed.
"Casillas was also a genius, but he was too arrogant and overestimated himself."
"He actually thought he could resist the temptations from the dark dimension, so he recklessly went to study the magic of the dark dimension."
"If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The magic of the Dark Dimension isn't really anything special."
"I feel that what you said is not quite correct."
Strange said, frowning.
"Dark magic is indeed very dangerous, and it has the power to tempt people and corrupt them."
"Casillas really shouldn't have overestimated himself by studying dark magic."
Lynn chuckled and shook his head slightly.
"Yes, yes, you're right, but didn't you learn all of that from books?"
"Can you guarantee that all the knowledge you learn from books is correct?"
"Besides, there are many things in this world that are not recorded in books."
Do school textbooks tell you the truth about how the world works?
Slanch frowned slightly.
Although Lynn's statement was correct, he was still reluctant to admit it.
"Come on, Strange. Think about the primitive era of Earth's development. Didn't those mages ever study the magic of the Dark Dimension?"
Even orthodox mages must have some understanding of the magic of the dark dimension.
"If you don't understand or know how to use it, how can you prevent dark magic from harming ordinary people?"
"Not to mention, in certain situations, magic from the dark dimension can often play an unexpected role."
"Or do you really think that the Ancient One never touched dark magic?"
There is no fundamental difference between magic; the difference lies only in the mind of the user.
Lynn said calmly.
"Because the power of dark magic is borrowed from dimensional demons, and dimensional demons only want to devour more dimensions and universes."
"Naturally, these dark magic spells sent from dimensional demons often possess extremely strong devouring and destructive power."
"The demons of those dark dimensions lent their power to humanity simply so they could devour more dimensions."
"If someone lends you money with the intention of saddleing you with high-interest loans, what do you think will happen to you?"
Lynn said calmly.
"Well, so only truly exceptional geniuses, one in a million, can throw back the cannonball hidden within the sugar-coated bullet."
Only the sugar coating remained.
"It's a pity that many of them are self-proclaimed geniuses, but in reality they are all idiots."
"Casillas is one of them."
Strange found Lynn's statement hard to accept, but he knew that this was the nature of the world.
Compared to traditional mages like Kaecilius, Strange, a mage who came to the profession later in life, is actually more mature.
It must be admitted that while the Ancient One possessed exceptional magical abilities, her skills in training disciples were somewhat lacking.
It is indeed somewhat out of touch with the times.
In particular, the traditional methods of training mages have significant flaws.
Their worldview is too narrow, and they can't accept many things.
On the contrary, it is people like Strange, who came to this field later in life, who, because of their good education and complete worldview, are able to view various forces more effectively and rationally.
"I understand."
Strange nodded.
"I've heard some rumors lately that are related to Casillas, so I'm a little worried."
"However, knowing who Casillas is will allow me to be better prepared to guard against him."
You shouldn't worry too much.
After seeing Strange off, Lynn remained standing in the same spot.
He sighed heavily.
"Having watched for so long, isn't it time for you to come out, Ancient One?"
"very nice."
The Ancient One slowly emerged from the shadows.
"You've made great progress lately. It seems your new girlfriend has taught you a lot of new things."
Lynn rolled her eyes.
"Come on, if you keep slacking off like this, I'm going to protest."
"If you don't teach your own students properly and instead dump them on others, do you think you're a qualified teacher?"
Gu Yi didn't take Lynn's complaints to heart. Instead, she sat down in front of Lynn and waved her hand, and a table appeared in front of them.
"Please sit down."
A car sped past where the two were standing, but it did not affect them in any way.
Clearly, Lynn was once again pulled into the Mirror Dimension by the Ancient One.
"How should I put it? You two are truly master and disciple; you even have the same way of talking to people."
Lynn sat down casually.
He drank the tea that Gu Yi had prepared in one gulp.
The moment Lynn took a sip of the tea, his eyes lit up.
"Wow, what a find! This tea is something special."
"In the multiverse, there is a planet with an extremely rare type of tea leaf, which can only produce two leaves at a time."
"I specially brought some tea with me on this trip, and you are the first person to enjoy this kind of tea."
"Hmm, not bad."
Lynn nodded repeatedly.
This was good stuff, so he simply poured the tea leaves into his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them.
"It's definitely good stuff. Get me two pounds later."
Ancient One's forehead twitched at Lynn's words and actions.
To avoid accidentally punching Lynn to death, the Ancient One quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for helping me resolve Strange's inner conflict."
"If it were me, I really wouldn't know how to talk to him about these things."
Lynn waved his hand dismissively.
"If you really want to thank me, then don't even think about shirking your responsibilities."
Gu Yi glanced at it.
"You—you noticed?"
Lynn nodded.
"Anyone who isn't blind can see the air of old age about you."
"To be fair, even if you want to choose a side, you don't have to be so extreme, do you?"
Gu Yi gave a bitter laugh.
She discovered that Lynn seemed to know her better than she had imagined.
"I—I only have this one choice."
Ancient One wanted to retire, but given her outstanding sense of responsibility, she couldn't afford to give up her life.
She will never be able to truly let go of Earth.
Therefore, if the Ancient One truly wanted to retire, she would only choose to give up her own life.
"Don't worry, death is just the beginning of another great adventure."
Gu Yi said softly.
"The way you're saying it is exactly like something out of a cryptic old man I know."
Lynn complained.
"Yeah?"
Gu Yi smiled slightly.
"Then he must be a great mage."
"Let me make this clear first: if you really want to retire, don't blame me for treating your apprentice like a beast of burden."
"Young people should definitely exercise more."
Gu Yi nodded in complete agreement.
"Well, you old folks really know how to talk."
"But you can do whatever you want."
"Before the Sorcerer Supreme, I was still a woman. Don't you know that mentioning one's age is a major taboo for a woman?"
"Women can be very petty."
Lynn's expression froze.
"Just pretend I didn't say that."
"I admit I was wrong, okay?"
Gu Yi smiled.
"But speaking of which, I do have a favor to ask you."
"In the end, this is also a way of repaying you for helping me explain this matter."
"What's wrong?"
Lynn was a little curious.
"Come with me to pick something up."
A moment later, Lynn and the Ancient One stood in the vast universe.
"What do you need to pick up that's worth me coming all this way with you?"
"What's the rush? You don't have anything to do on Earth anyway."
"It can't be that you can't bear to part with your girlfriends, can it?"
Gu Yi joked.
"Just come out with me to clear my head."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Since we're already here, what else can Lynn say?
"So how long are we supposed to wait here?"
"They're here."
Gu Yi looked up and a golden spaceship appeared in front of the two of them.
"Our people have arrived."
As Lynn followed the Ancient One into the spaceship, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
This was the first time he had ever seen such an extravagant spaceship.
The entire spaceship was gold, even all the interior decorations and control components were gold.
This gold-colored hue is not glaring; on the contrary, upon closer inspection, one can discover a unique kind of beauty in it.
Moments later, the two landed on a golden planet.
The entire planet has a golden texture, and even the trees and flowers here seem to be made of gold.
Lynn even discovered that most of the buildings on this planet were constructed of gold.
Gold is not a particularly rare metal in the universe, but as one of the metals with a high atomic number,
Gold was a fairly common precious metal in most civilizations.
Although most civilizations have no shortage of gold after entering the space age, there are very few civilizations as extravagant as this planet that uses gold to build all its structures.
In the entire Marvel Universe, there is only one civilization with such a high degree of worship for gold.
"Respected Dharma Master, we meet again."
Ayesha sat on her throne and greeted the Ancient One.
Lynn looked around.
"You have such connections?"
The Supreme Star is a planet entirely golden. The civilization inhabiting this planet possesses extremely advanced technology, and the color they worship most is gold.
They even transformed their skin to gold.
After glancing at Ayesha, Lynn quickly looked away.
Lynn used to think that the idea that beauty has nothing to do with skin color was utter nonsense.
He just likes white.
But now that Lynn has seen Ayesha, he thinks that gold isn't actually unacceptable.
The key point is that the aesthetic sense of the Supreme Beings is indeed impeccable.
Their technological capabilities are extremely advanced, and everyone possesses an exceptionally natural beauty, a beauty determined from their genes, with absolutely no trace of external intervention.
Especially as the most esteemed priestess on the entire Supreme Star, Ayesha exudes an aura of perfection.
The perfect golden ratio is perfect no matter which angle you look at it from.
The only regrettable thing is that Ayesha doesn't have much of a human touch.
Rather than saying that Ayesha lacked humanity, it would be more accurate to say that she possessed more divinity.
Because the people of Sovereign believe their race is perfect, and they pursue the most perfect things.
Therefore, Soverein is also known as the Supreme Star.
Upon closer inspection, one can discover that all the buildings on the entire planet Sovereign perfectly conform to the golden ratio.
As the highest-ranking person on the entire planet Sovereign, Ayesha was perfect in every way.
As the High Priestess, as the most perfect of all, Ayesha had to be aloof, untainted by worldly affairs, and devoid of any human emotions.
Only such deification could be worthy of his status as a perfect person.
Looking at the expression on Ayesha's face, Lynn couldn't help but shiver inwardly.
This kind of person is good-looking, but unfortunately, they lack humanity.
How did you come to know the people on this planet?
Lynn muttered to himself beside the Ancient One.
Gu Yi glanced at Lynn.
"Ordinary people may not know me, but the truly top civilizations in this universe have all heard of my name to some extent."
Lynn immediately understood.
To ordinary civilizations, Earth is nothing more than a primitive, barbaric planet.
But those top civilizations and top experts all know that there are people on Earth who are absolutely not to be trifled with. Simply put, if your status and position are not high enough, you don't even have the right to know the identity of the Ancient One!
Soverein is not considered a top-tier civilization in the entire universe.
However, their outstanding technological capabilities, along with certain special reasons, led them to meet the Ancient One once.
In addition, the genetic modifications they made to themselves resulted in a remarkably long lifespan for the inhabitants of the entire planet Sovereign.
Therefore, their respect for the Ancient One has been passed down through generations.
"So what are we here for? Have they run into some trouble that requires the personal intervention of a Supreme Mage like yourself?"
Lynn was very puzzled.
For Earthlings, the Ancient One is undoubtedly a respectable sorceress, but for other civilizations in the universe, her reputation is somewhat...
Calling it infamous is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's definitely not a good reputation.
After all, the Ancient One fought many battles against alien giants in order to protect Earth.
Peace and courtesy cannot earn respect; only violence can.
Otherwise, why wouldn't any of the top powerhouses dare to steal the Infinity Stones even though they knew they were on Earth? Was it because they were kind-hearted?
Yes, I'm talking about you, Thanos.
While exchanging pleasantries with the High Priest, Gu Yi turned to Lynn and explained.
"When I was traveling before, I happened to run into them and they were having a little trouble, so I took the opportunity to help them out."
"To express their gratitude, they have been wanting to invite me to visit Sovereign, but I haven't had much time, so I declined."
"However, now that Strange is protecting Earth, and what we need is related to the most important thing, I simply accepted their invitation to take a trip to Sovereign."
Lin Mian immediately understood.
With that, the two finished exchanging pleasantries.
Led by High Priestess Ayesha, a banquet to welcome Lynn and the Ancient One began.
Perhaps it was because of the yellow sorcerer's robes that the Sovereigns treated Aunt Gu with great respect, but they didn't treat Lynn with the same respect.
It's because his clothes weren't golden yellow.
Although he didn't know what the Ancient One wanted him to retrieve, Lynn didn't care what others thought of him since he was just getting free food and drinks.
Besides, the Sovelin aliens look down on Lynn, and Lynn looks down on this bunch of brainless idiots.
He truly couldn't understand how a race's worship of gold could become so morbid that it would even change their own skin color.
Lynn said she couldn't understand it and was too lazy to try.
To show her respect for the Ancient One, Ayesha invited her to stay on Sovereign for a while after the banquet.
Gu Yi was also thinking about this, so she naturally agreed without hesitation.
However, the look in Ayesha's eyes when she looked at Lynn was truly hard to describe.
However, out of respect for the Ancient One, Ayesha didn't say anything more.
Suddenly, a golden maid ran in, approached Ayesha, and said a few words.
Ayesha thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.
She turned to the Ancient One and gave him an apologetic smile.
"We have some things to attend to. Please allow me to have my maid escort you to rest."
"We have been poorly received and have been treated with great disrespect."
"It's alright."
Gu Yi indicated that she didn't care.
"If you don't mind, please allow us to watch you handle the matter from the sidelines."
"If possible, I wouldn't mind having my disciple lend a hand."
Lynn rolled her eyes.
When did I become your disciple?
