Chapter 1132: No Choice but to Help, Gu 1's Preparations for Retirement

Ancient One walked into the portal contentedly, but Aaron was full of complaints and didn't know how to vent.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Qin asked puzzled.

“Because he had no choice.” Hela said with a gloating smile, “The Supreme Sorcerer came to him personally and made his cards clear right from the start, clearly not giving him a chance to refuse.”

Aaron shrugged helplessly, leaned his head back on the sofa and smiled bitterly, "Ancient One's dark side is well-known in the circle of dimensional demons."

“I have no choice but to help, otherwise she will contact Odin and the situation will only become more chaotic.

Odin cannot die now. He is now a lion. No matter how old a lion is, as long as it is still alive, it can suppress the tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves that are ready to make trouble.

A God King who is capable of playing the game of 'Longevity of Heaven and Earth' at any time, anyone who sees him will have to stay away from him."

“More importantly, Ancient One is also planning to retire.

In other words, she could give up at any time. If I don't help her, who knows if she will sell me out before she dies, and then I will face even greater troubles."

"Not really?" Wanda's eyes twitched slightly, "Master Ancient One doesn't look like that kind of person."

"I won't rely on someone else's character for my own safety, let alone Ancient One's character... hehe!"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Sooner or later, we will leave this universe with you.

Before leaving, it would be meaningful to help the Earth prevent a world-destroying disaster." Qin said earnestly.

“I signed a contract before, and I will help the earth solve a crisis within my ability.

Let’s do it this time! It won’t be in vain.”

"Do you need me to help you with anything?" Jean asked worriedly, "I can still contact the professor. He can get some support from the X-Men."

"Forget it! You have no idea how powerful the Lord of the Dark Dimension is. The X-Men can't even make a ripple against Dormammu's invasion." Aaron waved his hand tiredly, then silently opened the task panel.

[Prevent the dimensional demons from invading the earth until a new Supreme Sorcerer is born;

Completing the mission will reward you with 3000 magic points; there will be no penalty for mission failure; do you accept it? 】

"accept."

"I have to go to Kamar-Taj and make some preparations in advance." Aaron said in a deep voice, "Jane, help me pack my equipment. I will leave tomorrow."

"Yes, Master." Jane nodded. "Are you taking Abe with you this time?"

“No need, it’s better to keep a low profile.

This job is not easy!"

......

The next day, 177A Bleecker Street.

Aaron arrived at the New York Temple and pushed open the door and walked in.

"Welcome, Mr. Gaius." Wang said politely, "What brings you here?"

"It seems that the Supreme Sorcerer didn't tell you!" Aaron said with a half-smile, "But that's right, this matter is quite big, it's normal not to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Wang asked with a frown.

"A disaster is about to happen, but I can't tell you what it is." Aaron said mysteriously, "Aren't you a librarian? Why are you in this temple?"

"No one stipulates that librarians cannot stay in the temple," Wang said very frankly, "The temple guardians guard the temple, but it does not mean that the temple will reject others.

Usually, some magic apprentices come to clean or handle chores."

Aaron nodded thoughtfully, "I'm going to Kamar-Taj, please show me the way."

"No problem." Wang put on the ring and drew a few circles in the air. A golden portal appeared in front of the two of them. Opposite the portal was the library of Kamar-Taj. Rows of ancient books symbolized the heritage of Kamar-Taj.

Aaron's mouth twitched, and he felt somewhat speechless.

If he remembered correctly, the temple seemed to have a fixed portal. Was it necessary to open a magic portal?

After muttering something in his mind, Aaron still followed Wang into the portal.

"Will you come with me to see Master Ancient One first, or will you just wander around on your own?"

"Let's go see Master Ancient One first! I may have to live in Kamar-Taj for a while, so I have to ask her to grant me a piece of land."

"A piece of land?"

"I'm not used to living here, so I brought my own tent. Do you mind?"

"Uh...never mind."

A few minutes later, Wang brought Aaron to the training ground, where Gu Yi was holding a small fan and meticulously teaching several mages melee combat techniques.

Seeing the two people coming over, a rare smile appeared on her face.

"Thanks for coming over to help, Aaron."

"To be honest, I really don't want to come here." Aaron said bluntly, "But since I agreed, I won't escape. This is Gaius's reputation."

"I am very willing to believe in Gaius's credibility." Ancient One smiled sincerely. The promise made by Gaius was as reliable as their contract.

"Master Ancient One, I will do my best to do what I should do.

But I also hope that you won't cause me any trouble." Aaron said meaningfully that he would do the job seriously, but Gu Yi couldn't sell him out.

"That's natural." Gu Yi said easily while fanning himself.

Of course she could understand what Aaron meant, and she could only smile bitterly in her heart.

She had no intention of selling him out from the beginning to the end. Although doing so could largely prevent the Earth from being invaded by demons from other dimensions, it would also offend Gaius to death.

Kamar-Taj had no other powerful father-level figures besides her, and could not withstand Gaius' revenge.

Even if Strange had the Time Stone, it wouldn't change anything. Gaius is not affected by time. If he really gave up, the consequences might be even more serious.

"Master Ancient One, I need a small piece of open space to set up a tent. I will live there until this is over."

"Sure, pick any place you like.

If you need anything else, you can find the king. "

“We’ll talk about this later, where is Stephen Strange?

I am still very curious about his current progress in learning magic."

"Then you came at the right time."

Gu Yi made a gesture of invitation and led Aaron around a corner.

On the wide platform, Master Mordo and Strange were fighting with bare hands.

The two men got into position, and Mordo took the lead in attacking, delivering a flying back kick at Strange.

Strange leaned back to avoid the fierce attack, then quickly stepped forward, hugged Mordo and pushed him forward.

Mordo stepped back a few steps and stopped, then grabbed Strange's shoulders with his backhand and locked his neck with his arms.

At this moment, Strange hit Mordo hard in the abdomen with an elbow, took the opportunity to break free, and the close combat ended here.

"Very fast progress." Wang nodded secretly, looked at Aaron and asked, "What do you think?"

"Maybe! From an ordinary person's perspective."

The king smacked his lips and said unhappily, "Not everyone is as powerful as you, able to inflict destructive power that even magic cannot achieve with just the physical body."

Aaron shrugged noncommittally. The people in Kamar-Taj were all melee mages, so this would reduce their reliance on magic power.

But no matter how much you train your fighting skills, the improvement in combat effectiveness is limited, and magicians still have to use magic to determine their strength.

At this time, the situation on the field changed. Mordo took a wooden stick from the shelf beside him and said, "This is a magic weapon. Some magic is too powerful to maintain.

We can only inject it into objects and let them bear the burden that we cannot bear. "

"This is the Scepter of the Life Tribunal."

Zizi!

Mordo grasped both ends of the scepter and pulled hard.

The scepter extended out segments of orange-yellow energy, and with a fierce swing it hit the ground like a whip, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Snapped!

After a loud bang, the whip quickly retracted and turned into an ordinary wooden stick.

Strange opened his mouth in astonishment, looking at the scepter held by Mordo, his heart full of surprise.

"There are many magical weapons, the Wand of Watum, the Boots of Fodo..." Mordo said as he kicked his boots, and an orange-yellow magic circle flashed on the surface of the boots.

"That's really catchy, isn't it?" Strange said half-jokingly, "When can I have my own magic weapon?"

"When you're ready."

"I think I'm ready."

"You are ready only when the magic weapon thinks you are ready." Mordo said, "Now, conjure up a weapon!"

"All right!"

Strange took a deep breath, and slowly stretched his hands up and down. Several magic lines connected at his fingertips, and a strange web slowly spread out.

Before the net was completely formed, Mordo raised the scepter and swung it towards Strange.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Strange hastily defended himself with the weapons he conjured, but he couldn't help but retreat in the face of Mordo's fierce attack.

"Fight as if your life depends on it." Mordo roared and defeated Strange's weapons. Then, with the help of the Boots of Fodor, he took a few steps in the air, got behind Strange, and knocked him down with a punch.

"Because one day, maybe it will be so."

"Is this his magic?" Aaron looked at Ancient One in confusion, as if asking, are you so confident in giving him the position of Sorcerer Supreme?

"All Strange needs is some training. Fighting can help him grow quickly." Ancient One said calmly, "There will be such an opportunity soon."

"I hope you won't get into trouble."

Ancient One smiled without saying anything, then waved his hand and called Mordo and Strange over.

"Gaius, why are you here?" Strange asked in surprise, "Are you here to see me?"

"In a sense, I did come to see you."

"What?"

"That's not important. What's important is that I have to live in Kamar-Taj for a while." Aaron rubbed the space ring on his hand, took out a package from it and threw it to Strange, "Find a place with good lighting and help me set up the tent."

"Tents. It's not like Kamar-Taj doesn't have any empty rooms."

"I am a germaphobe. I don't want to be squeezed in with a bunch of rough guys like you."

"That doesn't mean we have to live in a tent!"

"My tent is a little different from the tent you understand. It is... a magic tent. Do you understand?"

"Can't you just do it yourself?"

"Is this how you talk to your benefactor?"

Strange's face twitched, and he smiled awkwardly but politely, "I'll take it."

Strange left with the storage bag. Aaron shook his head helplessly, "Master Ancient One, how long will I need to live in Kamar-Taj?"

"It won't be long."

"Supreme Lord." Mordo frowned and asked, "Do you want Gaius to come here because something is going to happen?"

"Darkness is about to invade. I asked him to come here to strengthen the defense of the earth."

......

A few hours later, Aaron leisurely served dinner in the luxurious tent that was cast with a traceless stretch spell.

Pan-fried shimmering silk fish, jewel-like meat, and a serving of diamond crystal figs as a dessert can be considered luxurious.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Aaron carefully checked the barrier of the tent. After confirming that no one was secretly spying on him, he flashed into the spiritual dimension.

The thought entity and its thirteen relatives had all sat down in their respective seats. When they saw him appear, they all stood up and greeted him.

Aaron pressed his hand, motioning everyone to sit down, and then got straight to the point: "I called you all to a meeting today because I have something important to announce."

Snapped!

Aaron snapped his fingers and the book of prophecy floated in the air.

"I turned to the latest prophecy and let everyone take a look at it so that they can be mentally prepared."

"Yes, great master."

The pages flipped quickly and soon reached the latest prophecy.

"The Ancient One, the guardian of the Earth and the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, is about to fall."

"Eh?" Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this it?"

"The prophecy you saw was from yesterday, and this one is from today." The thought body reminded.

"Forget it, it's all the same." Aaron said nonchalantly, "Let them see yesterday's prophecy as well!"

"Yes." The prophecy book turned a page, "Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Dimension, is about to invade the Earth."

"As you can see, these two prophecies can be summed up as the invasion of the dark dimension, and the Ancient One will die as a result."

"Supreme Sorcerer, I remember you said that the Supreme Sorcerer is a god-father-level strongman." Lorelai asked with some doubt, "A god-father-level person shouldn't die so easily!"

"Rather than saying she was killed, it's better to say she wanted to retire with the help of death." Aaron sighed speechlessly, "Ancient One stole the power of the dark dimension for a long time to protect the earth from being invaded by other dimensions, but gradually she herself became the coordinate that pointed out the location of the earth for the dark dimension."

"So that's why she decided to... commit suicide?" Banner asked in surprise, "She's a great man!"

"Haha! Do you think she is great?"

“Isn’t it great?”

"Tsk!" Aaron smacked his lips and explained patiently, "Like Lorelai said, it's not so easy to kill a Heavenly Father, especially one who is proficient in magic."

"Death was chosen by Ancient One herself, but in fact, it was just the abandonment of her physical body. Her soul can still travel the multiverse."

"She died cleanly and put an end to everything, but she left the mess to her apprentice, who is qualified to become the Supreme Mage..."

"Strange?" Carter Slay asked doubtfully, "It can't really be him?"
