American comic book: Absolute Spider-Man

Ned has demonstrated a certain degree of magical talent in both comics and movies.

Peter planned to take him to the Sanctum Sanctorum and shamelessly beg the Ancient One to teach him some magic. He didn't expect him to become a powerful sorcerer, but at least he could open a portal to escape to a safe place when facing danger.

As for Harry, he was the one who gave Peter the biggest headache.

The Osborn family seems to be cursed; in different timelines, they always end up becoming the Green Goblin for various reasons.

In some universes, the reason for the existence of a family with a hereditary disease is that they have to rely on the Green Goblin serum with severe side effects to prolong their lives, which eventually induces schizophrenia and gives birth to a second personality, namely the Green Goblin.

In some universes, the problem stems simply from this family's unreliability. Norman was abused and subjected to domestic violence by his father from a young age, leading to mental instability.

Even after becoming the head of a giant corporation, Norman was still unable to escape the trauma of his family of origin, and he passed on the pain to his son.

He took great care of Harry materially, but out of his hatred for weakness, his obsessive expectation of a perfect heir, and the distorted replication of his own childhood experience of domestic violence, he subjected Harry to extreme mental suppression, control, and emotional abuse.

This resulted in Harry being extremely well-off materially, yet extremely impoverished and even deformed spiritually.

Both father and son will eventually come into contact with the Green Goblin serum for various reasons and become Green Goblin one after the other.

Regardless of whether Norman and Harry are in this world or not, Peter doesn't want to see them repeat the mistakes of the Osborn family in other universes.

If Harry really does have some serious genetic disease that needs to be cured, the Extremis virus is definitely more reliable than the Green Goblin serum.

Of course, I'm not referring to the unstable version that causes people to spontaneously combust and explode, but rather the perfect version that Tony improved.

Perfect timing. Judging by the timing, Tony should be facing Killian's Extremis Legion soon.

Let's make things difficult for Tony first.

……

In front of 177A Blick Street.

Looking at the dilapidated exterior of the building, Ned complained to Peter, "Peter, is this really the New York Holy See? Have you come to the wrong place?"

"No, this is it."

Peter said to the door, "Open the door!"

The gate remained unmoved.

Peter stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Open the door, Master Supreme, I know you're watching."

The gate remained closed.

Peter, hands on his hips, roared, "Sorcerer Supreme, I'm here to negotiate!"

As if helpless against the visitors, the scene finally changed, transforming from a dilapidated building into the solemn and majestic New York Sanctuary.

The door opened, and Wang looked at Peter as if he were a piece of rotten soap, saying helplessly, "Come in, the Sorcerer Supreme is waiting for you."

Peter patted the dumbfounded Ned on the shoulder: "Come on, don't just stand there like an idiot."

In the main hall of the Sanctuary, the Ancient One, dressed in a yellow sorcerer's robe, stood quietly in the center, with a black man in a sorcerer's robe waiting beside her.

Seeing the three approaching, Gu Yi said to the person beside him, "Modu, I've chosen a student for you. Are you willing to accept him?"

Mordo bowed slightly to Gu Yi humbly: "I will obey your orders, Master."

Gu nodded and said to Peter, "I know why you've come, but I was initially going to refuse."

Peter spread his hands: "But judging from your posture, you don't seem to be trying to refuse."

"Your existence has brought too many variables to the future of this world."

"There must be some things that His Holiness the Supreme Master would like to see."

"But there are also many changes that I don't want to see."

"However, I can grant your request. Kamar-Taj welcomes those with magical talent who are willing to contribute to maintaining the balance of the world to join us."

The Mage Mordo walked up to Peter and Ned, scrutinizing Ned with a critical eye, as if searching for something special about this student whom the Sorcerer Supreme had assigned to him.

Unfortunately, he didn't see any outstanding qualities in this carefree, chubby boy.

This is probably the difference between him and the Sorcerer Supreme; the Sorcerer Supreme's vision can discover potential qualities that he cannot see.

He said to Ned, "My name is Mordo, and I will be your mentor on the path of white magic from now on."

Ned didn't reply to Mordo, but instead looked hesitantly at Peter, asking him to make a decision for him: "Peter, I..."

Peter was speechless. Did they really think Kamar-Taj was a place where just anyone could go?

It's already a favor that they're willing to take you as a student, but instead of immediately bowing to your teacher, you come to your good buddy for advice first.

Why do I suddenly feel like this fat guy is a bit embarrassing?

Peter looked at Ned seriously and said, "Ned, from now on, you must diligently learn magic from Mage Mordo. Treat him as the person you respect most, understand?"

"Understood." Ned bowed to Mordo. "Hello, uh..."

Mordo said kindly, "You can just call me mentor."

"Greetings, mentor," Ned said loudly while bowing.

Looking at the unreliable-looking chubby boy in front of him, Mordo thought that this might be the test that the Sorcerer Supreme was giving him.

"I cannot let the Sorcerer Supreme down!" Mordo made up his mind.

He then used his slingshot to open a portal and slapped away Ned's hand as he tried to touch the sparkling portal frame: "Come with me."

Peter watched the two leave, and the portal closed in his sight.

While Mordo's character is difficult to assess, he is not a major problem as Ned's magic mentor.

Peter looked at the Ancient One: "Thank you for the Sorcerer Supreme's generosity."

The Ancient One walked up to Peter and said, "No need to thank me. As you probably know, magic is not a one-sided thing of giving or taking, but a transaction between two parties that is equal or unequal."

"Yes, then may I ask, what does the Sorcerer Supreme require of me in return?"

The Ancient One said with a half-smile, "Join Kamar-Taj."

Peter: ?

He asked, "Is Kamar-Taj short-staffed? Why are they even recruiting Spider Totem?"

"Karmar-Taj worships Vishanti, and the spider totem can be considered a choice of the gods of Nes, while Nes and the Vishanti goddess Oshutu are mother and daughter."

The Ancient One spoke matter-of-factly: "The addition of the Spider Totem to Kamar-Taj is equivalent to cross-unit deployment within a company; it's not anything heretical."

Peter smiled. "So, the Ancient One thinks I have magical talent?"

Gu Yi nodded: "Yes, after your soul merged with a foreign memory, your spiritual power became exceptionally abundant and resilient, and your ability to resonate with multiple dimensions and perceive magical energy far surpasses that of ordinary people."

"The threshold of magic that ordinary people take years to reach, you have a natural shortcut for. This talent brought about by the fusion of memories is excellent material for learning magic."

Peter agreed with the Ancient One's statement.

Ancient One added, "Of course, you also have a precious quality that a sorcerer needs most."

"Oh?" Peter asked curiously, "What quality?"

Gu Yi gave a meaningful smile: "You've got a thick skin."

Peter: ?
