Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone

Chapter 112 The Ancient One knew, but the Ancient One didn't care!

Before Mike's right foot even touched the ground, his vision had completely changed.

The fiery red sky of early morning has been replaced by the warm yellow candlelight indoors. The floor beneath your feet is no longer rough cement, but polished ancient stone slabs. The air is no longer filled with the fragrance of fresh air, but with the scent of sandalwood, old paper, and tea wafting from some corner.

The key point is what's behind him.

A portal emitting sparks.

At that moment, Mike had only one thing on his mind.

"Oh no!"

"He's fallen into a trap."

Clearly, the Sorcerer Supreme had already spotted him, but instead of striking immediately, he acted like a shrewd hunter, striking only when the boy relaxed and prepared to leave.

Despite his thoughts, Mike wasn't actually that panicked at the moment.

Because if the Ancient One really wanted to silence him, then the moment he stepped in, he would be met with the Ancient One's overwhelming magic.

Instead of sitting quietly behind a low tea table like this.

This is a spacious and ancient hall, with a huge arched dome covered with murals depicting geometric arrays, and the surrounding walls inlaid with countless scrolls and ancient books.

It gives people a wonderful feeling that is both scientific and magical.

Mike first turned his head to look at the fiery portal blooming behind him, then his gaze fell on the woman behind the tea table not far away.

She was a rather thin woman, giving the impression that if you punched her, she would cry for a long time.

But don't believe it.

That's an illusion, because if you punch her, you don't know if she'll cry, but you'll definitely cry for a long time.

Because women are not just anyone.

It is none other than the legendary Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One!

The Ancient One, dressed in a loose yet neatly tailored bright yellow robe, sat behind the tea table, leisurely placing a celadon teacup in her hand onto the tray opposite her.

"Don't be nervous, Mike."

As she spoke, Gu Yi looked up at Mike, who was staring at her. Her voice was not loud, but it carried clearly throughout the hall: "I have no intention of silencing him."

Upon hearing this, Mike was taken aback at first, then shook his head and chuckled. He then walked to the opposite side of the Ancient One, sat cross-legged on the futon beneath him, and greeted her, "Sorcerer Supreme."

He can't beat the Ancient One.

Before he awakened his seventh sense cosmos and became a true Gold Saint.

This wasn't something Mike confirmed just after seeing the Ancient One; it was something he confirmed yesterday after arriving in the afterlife and catching a fleeting glimpse of the snowy mountains.

The Ancient One before us is someone that no one but a Gold Saint can defeat.

Even a Gold Saint who has only awakened the Seventh Sense might not be able to defeat him; it would probably take a Gold Saint who has just awakened the Eighth Sense to do so.

Well known.

When the Ancient One was alive, Earth was chaotic, but the environment was still relatively good. However, after the Ancient One died, Earth truly entered an era of great chaos.

After all, Doctor Strange, the successor to Kamar-Taj, has no reputation in the universe or in the endless dimensions.

Unlike the Ancient One.

She is renowned throughout the universe and countless dimensions; the mere mention of the name Ancient One is enough to intimidate countless beings across dimensions.

They hesitated to approach.

Gu Yi lowered her eyes and slowly filled the teacup in front of Mike, then calmly raised her eyes.

"Please have some tea."

"Thanks."

Mike wasn't worried that the Ancient One would poison it. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and praised, "Good tea."

It's different from the tea that Jia Ying brews.

The tea from the afterlife gives people a refreshing feeling.

But this fragrance is a worldly fragrance.

The tea from Gu Yi was completely different. After Mike drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, he felt a refreshing fragrance on his soul. It was as if a gentle breeze had blown away a thin layer of dust from his soul, and he felt an instant sense of relaxation.

Mike's eyes lit up, and he pushed the empty teacup he had just finished drinking forward.

"Another one, please."

"The calming tea is only effective the first time you drink it."

Gu Yi chuckled, but despite his words, he still refilled Mike's glass.

Mike took it and drank it all in one gulp.

really.

Just as Gu Yi said, this time after drinking it, the feeling of having one's soul refreshed by a gentle breeze did not reappear.

Mike wasn't disappointed. After putting down his teacup, he looked at the Ancient One with curiosity.

"When did the Supreme Master notice me?"

"I've been watching you for a while, Mike."

The Ancient One smiled at Mike: "I noticed it when you were fighting the Dark Elf Malekith on the Arctic ice cap."

Kamar-Taj has three temples located around the world. The energy network formed by the three temples allows the Ancient One to know everything happening in the world without leaving Kamar-Taj.

not to mention----

"A power system that doesn't exist in this universe." The Ancient One's voice was very calm, as if she were talking about something insignificant: "Could you show me?"

Upon hearing this, Mike chuckled and said, "Why not?"

The words fell.

boom!

His inner universe ignited instantly.

moment.

Without warning, the energy of the microcosm burst forth from Mike's body, and a flamboyant energy outline, like a lion's mane, rose around Mike.

Each ray of golden light gleamed with a sharp, piercing edge.

A domineering and majestic phantom of a lion loomed in and out of sight, seemingly merging with Mike, the lion's golden pupils blending with Mike's pupils.

The Sixth Sense universe appeared above Mike's head, flowing like a real cosmic nebula.

"Use yourself as the universe, and activate the power of the universe for your own use."

"A remarkable power system."

The Ancient One remained seated cross-legged on the futon beneath her, raising her eyes to gaze at the cosmic power Mike displayed, and calmly offered this comment.

Then there is no more.

She had no intention of seizing Mike's power, nor did she want Mike to hand over the method for cultivating this power.

Mike has his own path to walk.

She has her own path to walk.

"No wonder you wanted the Reality Stone and the Mind Stone."

"but----"

Ancient One paused here, then looked at Mike who had withdrawn his power: "The power of the Infinity Stones is indeed great, but don't become addicted to them. However, you seem to know this, otherwise, a cup of calming tea cannot remove the dust left in your heart by the Mind Stone."

Mike nodded in response to the Ancient One's reminder: "I have never used external means to enhance my power."

Again.

The power you gain through your own cultivation is truly yours, and no one can take it away from you.

Therefore, he only uses the Reality Stone to materialize his own universe, and only uses the Mind Stone as an igniter to ignite his own universe.

The power gained through external means will one day be taken away by those same external means.

Wait a moment.

After saying that, Mike suddenly seemed to remember something and couldn't help but look at the Ancient One.

He did not rely on any external force to enhance his power.

But the Supreme Master before us is different.

Dead mouth.

Why bring up something so sensitive? Are you really going to be silenced?

Don't worry.

The Ancient One glanced at Mike with her calm eyes, seemingly seeing through his thoughts, and said in a cold voice, "I will not silence him, and from the moment I borrowed Dormammu's power, I was prepared to pay the price."

Mike didn't respond to the Ancient One's topic.

If the Ancient One in front of him had similar power, he could discuss this topic.

But not now.

Mike coughed, and without caring whether it was awkward or not, changed the subject: "The Sorcerer Supreme summoned me here, wouldn't..."

"Just buy me a cup of tea."

Gu Yi's expression remained calm: "You've been looking at me all day, seemingly wanting to meet me, yet also seemingly afraid to meet me, so I decided to bring you here to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Mike's lips twitched slightly.

He had just imagined countless reasons why the Ancient One had suddenly brought him here.

But he never imagined that the reason Gu Yi brought him here would be so simple.

It's simple, even a little mischievous.

"----All right."

Mike thought for a moment, then said quite frankly, "I was judging a gentleman by my own petty standards."

He was looking forward to meeting the Ancient One because he was curious about the Sorcerer Supreme who made his first appearance and then disappeared.

He was worried about meeting the Ancient One because he was afraid that she would realize he was an outsider and impose some kind of rule on him or expel him from the country.

But it is quite obvious.

He's overthinking it.

Gu Yi knew.

Gu Yi didn't care.

Just then, Skye's voice rang out from the fire portal behind her, which was still open.

Mike snapped out of his daze, glanced at the statue, and then looked at the Ancient One sitting cross-legged opposite him.

"Supreme Master————"

Take care.

Gu Yi smiled and said something, showing no intention of keeping Mike.

As she said.

She noticed that Mike both wanted to see her and was afraid to see her, so she pulled Mike over for a quick look, without any other particular intentions.

Mike didn't fully believe it until he reappeared on the roof of the afterlife and watched the Spark Portal disappear behind him.

Gu Yi simply wanted to see him; she had no other intentions.

Is that really true?

Mike watched the Spark Portal disappear behind him, and couldn't help but think to himself.

after awhile.

He shook his head.

Forget it.

Whatever.

There's no point in thinking about things that haven't happened yet. At least if we look at what has already happened, as long as the outcome is good, that's enough.

The Ancient One's cup of calming tea completely resolved the last remaining hidden danger left by his previous use of the Mind Stone to ignite his inner universe.

At this moment, Mike no longer had any desire for the Mind Stone.

Not only that.

He once again felt his own realization that his sixth sense universe could be frozen, and it began to operate continuously once more.

Therefore, judging from this result alone, Gu Yi was a friend, not an enemy, to him.

This is enough.

Mike made his final decision, composed himself, and then turned and walked downstairs.

Its daybreak.

Time to go to Wakanda.
