The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 407

"Maybe this will change your mind."

The Ancient One remained calm as she slowly opened her right hand. A green crystal emitting a mysterious glow floated out of her palm, as if guided by an invisible hand, and drifted leisurely toward Wes.

"This is the culmination of my profound understanding of the laws of time."

The Ancient One's voice was deep and gentle.

Wes's previously indifferent eyes lit up instantly.

As the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One had studied this crystal for many years. The knowledge it contained was undoubtedly an unimaginable gift, enough to make countless powerful individuals flock to it.

However, Wes was not a greenhorn after all. After the initial surprise, suspicion quickly crept onto his face.

He stared intently at Gu Yi, his gaze like two sharp daggers, as if trying to see through her thoughts and find even the slightest flaw in her expression and eyes.

Behind easily obtained benefits often lie hidden traps. Perhaps this seemingly tempting gift is actually a deadly bullet wrapped in sweet sugar.

"Don't worry, what I ask for is very simple. I just need you to lend a hand when Strange is in his most difficult time."

The Ancient One seemed to see through Wes's thoughts. She slightly raised her eyes and met Wes's gaze frankly, her eyes clear and sincere, without the slightest evasion.

"I have no other requests."

She emphasized her words and added a sentence to show her sincerity.

"Really not?"

Wes narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped forward, and stared intently into the Ancient One's eyes, trying to catch any possible fleeting anomaly.

But the Ancient One remained calm and composed, her face serene, her eyes showing no sign of lying. She stood there quietly, letting Wes scrutinize her.

After pondering for a long time and weighing the pros and cons, Wes finally nodded slowly and agreed: "I will only take action once."

Gu Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile that seemed to contain endless meaning. He said softly, "That's enough."

"Well then, farewell." Wes flashed and instantly transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from the spot and leaving only a faint afterimage.

The Marvel universe is still too complex; I've gotten a bit too cocky lately.

As he sped through the void, such a thought couldn't help but cross Wes's mind.

Perhaps without his knowledge, powerful figures from multiple universes have already set their sights on him.

This sudden thought startled Wes, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, instantly sobering him up from his previous smugness.

What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling so uneasy?

Wes pondered to himself that with his current strength, his mind was already as firm as a rock, and ordinary disturbances could hardly shake his spirit, much less allow him to let his mind wander like this. But at this moment, this inexplicable panic was like a shadow, impossible to shake off.

This is a warning! A sudden flash of inspiration struck Wes.

This was his own instinct sending him the strongest warning. In this life-or-death moment, he didn't hesitate for a moment, and decisively activated the control panel.

The next moment, Wes found himself in the world of One Piece.

"Huh? That funny little guy is gone."

A mysterious and ethereal voice quietly rang out in the void, as if it came from an endless abyss, or as if it had traversed endless time and space.

The one speaking is "Death," the source, creator, and manipulator of all life and souls in the multiverse, representing the manifestation of the concrete form of the end of all life in the multiverse, and one of the five renowned creator deities in the Marvel Universe.

He silently gazed at the spot where Wes had just left, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate layers of space and dimensions. Even someone as powerful as the Ancient One did not perceive his presence.

At this moment, in the world of One Piece, Wes clutched his wildly pounding heart, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. His face was slightly pale, and he muttered to himself, "That was close."

Although he had no idea who was watching him from behind, Wes trusted his intuition, an instinct he was born with that had never failed him in crucial moments.

This was the first time he had ever felt the breath of death so acutely; the icy, bone-chilling cold seemed to have frozen his soul.

"Phew~"

Wes took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm his wildly beating and chaotic heart through deep breathing.

"I can't go back to Marvel for now; who knows if that big shot is still keeping an eye on me."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Weiss muttered to himself, a hint of apprehension and caution in his voice.

The oppressive aura emanating from that mysterious and powerful being left him with lingering fear. Without absolute certainty, returning to the Marvel universe would be tantamount to walking into a trap, and he didn't want to risk his life.

Since that's the case, then I might as well stay in the pirate world.

This is a good time to thoroughly study the crystallized time law given by the Ancient One.

This is a rare opportunity. If he can fully comprehend its secrets, his strength will surely reach a new level, and he will have more confidence when facing unknown dangers in the future.

The world of One Piece is now divided into four parts, and the chaos is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

These four forces engage in fierce battles almost daily in their struggle for hegemony and resources, with the smoke of war lingering over various seas for a long time.

Unlike the great pirate era of the past, the wars of today are no longer small-scale conflicts between individual pirate crews, but have escalated into large-scale wars between nations, with a level of brutality that is astonishing.

In this chaotic world of war, countless innocent people suffered terribly, their homes were ruthlessly destroyed, and they were forced to leave their homes, become displaced, and flee everywhere in search of a safe haven.

Dressrosa and Wano Country became the last sanctuary amidst this chaos.

As a result, a large number of refugees flocked to these two places like a tidal wave, and in a short period of time, the population of the two places more than doubled.

This sudden population surge gave Ro and Violet, who were in charge of managing local affairs, a major headache.

They were extremely busy, having to resettle the refugees, coordinate resources from all sides, maintain local security, and ensure that the basic living needs of the people were met.

Fortunately, there was a key factor that prevented the situation from spiraling out of control: Weiss's intimidation.

His immense power instilled fear in all factions. Knowing that he was stationed in Dressrosa and Wano Country, no one dared to cause trouble there, which provided the most solid guarantee for the stability of both regions.
