With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Yang Li chuckled a few times. At the same time, her shoulder was gently patted, and a stranger's aura suddenly emanated from behind her.

Reflexively, Yang Li leaned forward, quickly stood up, and swung a whip kick backward. Flames wrapped around her legs, and the lower part of her simple training clothes melted rapidly. The king's anger and majesty instantly filled the entire room.

【Word of Power: Monarch's Flame】

"Is it a custom in your area to start fighting as soon as you meet someone?"

The wind blew off Yang Li's hood, and Yang Li stared in astonishment at the bald boss who had blocked his leg with one hand, as well as the magic shield with full special effects.

Upon contact with it, the surging fire element, under the king's command, vanished without a trace.

Chapter 683, Section 738: Neutral Units in "Guardian Paradise," The Ancient One (Sorcerer Supreme)

"To be honest, although you saved me, Ancient One, I can't completely trust you. I know almost nothing about you."

Pour a cup of hot tea, and the two sit in the room across a small square table. Their brief exchange has clearly demonstrated their strength; Gu Yi is much stronger than Yang Li is now.

Therefore, to be fair, Yang Li did not do anything further.

The Ancient One could easily subdue her in her current state, but she chose not to. Instead, she sat down and adopted a relaxed attitude, which was already a great show of goodwill. Otherwise, it would be strange if the Ancient One hadn't immediately punished her given her situation.

An aggregate of evil thoughts, a division of the consciousness of an ancient god, and a vessel for human evil—any righteous person who sees her would immediately shout to slay the demon and rush up to give her a stab.

Of course, there might also be die-hard otaku who love anime and manga, after all, her current image is quite distinctive.

Her long, unstyled silver hair, a combination of Takeuchi's signature face and Tohka's gluttonous features, a mix of cuteness and heroism, and an ancestral ahoge on her head that subconsciously expresses her emotions...

Getting back to the point, Yang Li was certain that the Ancient One must have been aware of his behavior patterns, after all, with an artifact like the Eye of Agamotto, the power of the Time Stone was still very strong in the Marvel universe.

As long as she appears in this worldview, regardless of her past experiences in other places, at least we can get a pretty good idea of ​​what she's done in Marvel with this artifact.

In other words, compared to Gu Yi's understanding of herself as a film and television character, Yang Li knew very little about Gu Yi.

She was just bored in her spare time, so she watched a few Marvel movies.

"You can't trust me? Aren't you afraid I'll get angry if you just say that so bluntly?"

Gu Yi chuckled. She glanced at Yang Li's somewhat weak appearance and understood Yang Li's current thoughts.

After all, she had just suffered such serious injuries, and it's understandable that she would find it difficult to trust others after forcibly crossing worlds to get here. Moreover, her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one that inspires great fear.

"Well, to be honest, I'm quite scared. After all, I don't have the resources to challenge someone of your level, the Ancient One."

Although the Ancient One's strength wasn't apparent in the movies, her high-class status and ultimately frustrating death led some to jokingly say that the special effects were too expensive and she died due to budget issues.

But when Yang Li actually faced this ever-smiling woman, he felt a sense of pressure, not only in terms of strength but also psychologically. Beneath the Ancient One's reserved demeanor lay a power that no one dared to underestimate.

Excluding the Time Stone, the Ancient One's strength, within the Paradise system, is at least at the seventh rank.

Even if this is just the movie version of Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One!

"By the way, Ancient One, I'd like to ask, do you know how long I've been unconscious?"

Yang Li held the warm cup and took a small sip of tea. It wasn't a particularly outstanding variety, which suggested that Gu Yi wasn't the type to indulge in extravagance.

The question of time was both important and unimportant to her, because the flow of time was certainly different in different worlds, but she didn't know what to talk to the Ancient One about, so she had to change the subject.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi narrowed her eyes, her smiling gaze fixed on the uncomfortable Yang Li.

"You have only been in this world for three days."

Three days later, Yang Li breathed a sigh of relief. This period of time was not long, but it exposed some problems and allowed her to obtain more useful information.

She knew perfectly well how serious her injuries were; they couldn't possibly heal naturally in just a few days. Only by using the abilities of the first-generation species to cocoon herself in place and sleep for hundreds or thousands of years could she possibly recover in a relatively weak state.

The Ancient One not only rescued herself, but also clearly underwent some treatment, which allowed her to recover quickly. The method of treatment remains unknown.

"Thank you for saving me, Master."

"There's no need to be so polite. I saved you for a reason, partly because of the mission and partly because of my own selfish reasons."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yi slowly raised her right hand, revealing the back of her hand beneath her sleeve. Yang Li's eyes widened at the sight of the sword and shield brand that symbolized the 'Watchers of Paradise'.

At the same time, as the characters appeared in the air, the Ancient One slowly spoke.

"You from the outside world, my name is Ancient One, a mage who protects the Earth, a neutral unit of 'Paradise Watch', with the special privilege of 'Guardian'."

……

[Judges, welcome to 'Watchful Paradise'!]

[You have lost your Paradise Mark. After passing the qualification test, we are extending an invitation to you. Would you like to join 'Guardians of Paradise'?]

[Judge - Strength Level: 6. Actual Combat Strength: 7.]

[Based on the qualification check, if you are willing to join 'Guardian Paradise', you will undergo the 'Crown of Sanctions' trial mission. This position has the same authority as the 'Abyss Paradise' Destroyer!]

The judge may refuse the invitation.

……

"emmmm"

Yang Li was somewhat bewildered. Not long ago, she was forcibly removed from 'Abyss Paradise' because something had invaded her, and then she was betrayed.

There were three leaders among the intruders. She sensed the presence of Azathoth and Nyarlathotep, and the third one was likely Shub.

To be honest, she wasn't really interested in the invitation from 'Watchtower Paradise', but remembering the way 'Abyss Paradise' had behaved, she knew she'd likely get messed with if she refused. After all, wasn't the Ancient One sitting right across from her?

"You can refuse; it's all up to you. 'Watch' isn't like 'The Abyss'."

Perhaps sensing Yang Li's thoughts, Gu Yi smiled and shook her head. There was a reason why 'Watch' was ranked last in Paradise.

Being too lenient is also a bad thing.

After all, once a war breaks out, the four amusement parks are lined up together, and 'Guardians' is basically at the bottom of the pack, getting crushed. The overall strength of the contractors is not outstanding, and they don't have any special features. Except for a few exceptionally strong ones, they are all weaklings.

"Ancient One, why did you choose to become a neutral unit of 'Watchmen'?"

The concept of neutral units has appeared around Yang Li; Merlin and Scáthach are both neutral units of the 'Abyss'.

However, the Abyss Paradise signed a contract with them to fight against the Ancient Gods who could invade at any time. It seems that because Yog-Sothoth directly sealed off the spacetime of the Type-Moon world, the Abyss Paradise was unable to pull them over...

"I will continue to protect the origin world of my own existence in countless parallel worlds destined for chaos. For this, I made a deal with a being called Watcher to exchange for the power to continue protecting it."

These days, all sorts of time travelers and contractors are emerging one after another. The Ancient One once fell into deep thought because of the future she saw through the Time Stone.

In retrospect, this choice made sense. Whenever a contractor was coming to carry out a mission, she would be notified in advance, and she would take the opportunity to check the resumes of these visitors, and then keep an eye on a few potential troublemakers.

This world has become much easier to protect.

"By the way, I wonder if you'd be interested in becoming the Sorcerer Supreme?"

"???"

PS: 1. This is the second update today.

Section 739, Chapter 684: Recuperation and Meditation

Time passed slowly, and in the frigid Himalayas, Yang Li built a residence for himself, where he quietly recuperated.

In her previous conversation with the Ancient One, she learned that she had been found in the vicinity and taken directly back to Kamar-Taj. In fact, the Ancient One's disciples were unaware of her existence. Ultimately, Yang Li chose to leave Kamar-Taj.

After all, according to the Ancient One's teachings, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj despise the existence of dark forces, and she has the evil aggregate 'Evil of This World' within her, so it wouldn't be surprising if she were to be ambushed one day.

Although none of those sorcerers could defeat her except for the Ancient One, the Ancient One saved her, so she couldn't very well kill those sorcerers, could she?

Yang Li was afraid that if someone ambushed her, she would lose control and fight back. These delicate mages, even if they had mastered melee combat, couldn't withstand a single blow from her. It wouldn't be surprising if they were sent flying out of Kamar-Taj with a single slap. Only the Ancient One, that freakish melee mage, could hold her down and beat her.

"Phew~ Is the snow still not stopping?"

Living directly in the mountains near Mount Everest, deep within the mountains, and isolating himself from the world by creating a protective barrier, is something probably only Yang Li would do.

After all, Chinese people all dream of becoming reclusive masters. Who knows, one day they might guide someone who happens to wander in, offering a few pointers that reveal their otherworldly and ethereal qualities. Just thinking about it is quite wonderful.

If the Iron Man 1 storyline hadn't ended long ago, she would definitely have gone and pretended to be a master. Anyway, Tony is a rich man with plenty of money, and the enemies are a bunch of weaklings. It wouldn't be difficult for her to make a few hundred million with a little effort, and she would become a 'super rich person' in no time!

It's a pity I didn't have that opportunity, but I still have to have the dream of being a hermit; after all, I'm not a salted fish.

Therefore, Yang Li deliberately made some minor flaws in the barrier; otherwise, only someone like Gu Yi could enter, and it would be completely impossible for an ordinary person to accidentally break in...

Watching the snow fall through the barrier, Yang Li held a cup of freshly brewed black tea and lazily lay on the small round table in front of her, feeling extremely sleepy.

Since her origin was damaged, she has been cocooning and sleeping all the time, relying on the light and heat from the dragon bone cross. She has also become quite voracious, possessing both the stomach of a Saber King and the physique of a gluttonous elf. Barbatos, Floros, Amon, and Baal's earnings from their jobs are almost not enough to support her.

"Floros, go out for a bit and buy some black tea. I'm almost done with mine."

"..."

The man who was making a bomb trap outside the cabin twitched his mouth wildly upon hearing this. Looking at the host body, who looked like a salted fish, he seriously suspected that all 72 Demon God Pillars had lost their minds to save her.

Speechless, Floros still dutifully set up the trap. After all, it was a Grand Bomber, and this one had been extremely effective, sending a large number of demonic Masters to their deaths and into freezing.

It should be quite effective as a trap.

However, shouldn't we add something else, such as good spatial teleportation capabilities?

Floros fell into deep thought. After all, light bombs were unlikely to hit people, but if the enemy could be forcibly moved into the trap's range, that would be nice!

With this in mind, Floros decisively contacted Barbatos and asked it to bring him a cup of black tea after he finished his work. He then continued to focus on researching bomb traps, striving to ensure that no one would have the chance to 'accidentally' step into the barrier and meet Yang Li.

Wang can only be... cough cough, it's nothing.

"Ugh, I'm so bored. Is there any kind soul who could send me an Infinity Stone to cheer me up?"

Yang Li, who can change size at will, lies sprawled on the table, twisting and turning, squinting like a salted fish, the kind of boredom that makes her hair grow.

(Gaitia took a picture)

"Emmm, I wonder if there's a Solomon in the Marvel universe. I should go and look up some mythology sometime."

Solomon, a cold and inhuman king, was blessed with divine wisdom. With the help of the restraint force, Yang Li used his Spirit Origin, the Ten Commandments, and Paradise access to successfully extract the fate line about Solomon from Roman. In other words, Roman is now the pure Roman Archaman.

And just as fate would have it, she took Goetia with her and disappeared from the Type-Moon world in a one-for-one exchange.
