Chapter 1045: Spider-Man’s Archmage Partner?
"Oh~" Peter and Ned couldn't help but exclaimed in unison after hearing Noah's introduction. They stared at the mysterious ring in front of them with surprise in their eyes. Even Spider-Man Peter, who had long been accustomed to all kinds of magical things, could not suppress his excitement at this moment. This was the excitement of seeing something new.
"So, is this for me?" Ned was a smart man. Combining the series of events that had just happened, he instantly understood Noah's intention, and a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Peter was also curious. Ned had a talent for magic? But this was probably the only time Noah and Ned had met recently. He couldn't figure out how Noah knew about this.
"That's right, Ned. Peter, the power of time has given me the ability to foresee the future. Among the countless intertwined future scenes, I once glimpsed a timeline where you, Ned, grew up to be a great wizard. That's why I know you have an innate magical talent." Noah explained. Of course, this statement was just made up by him. In fact, he knew Ned's talent from the plot of the movie he watched in his previous life.
As for Ned Leeds' future, the movie did not give a definite explanation, after all, the story of the Spider-Man series was still developing at the time, and the subsequent plot was still unclear. But Noah knew that in the comic setting, Ned would become Spider-Man's villain in the future, codenamed "Ghost", and he would be the third generation of this title.
That might have been one of Ned's possible futures, but in this changed world, there was no chance of that happening.
"The power of time?" Upon hearing this unfamiliar yet intimidating term, Peter and Ned were both shocked, feeling awe-inspiring in their hearts.
"Come on, try it on, Ned." Noah raised his hand and threw the ring towards Ned. Seeing this, Ned hurriedly stretched out his hands and hurriedly caught the ring steadily.
He first carefully examined the structure of the ring. The simple material and mysterious patterns made him feel awed. Then, Ned carefully put the two rings on his index and middle fingers, as if he was treating his favorite assembly model at home.
"Is this how it should be worn?" Ned raised his head and looked at Noah, asking with a little curiosity and nervousness.
"It doesn't matter. Just do whatever you want." Noah smiled and explained, "There is no strict restriction on how to wear the ring. After all, some people can still perform magic even if they don't have palms."
"What then? What should I do?" After Ned put on the ring, he continued to ask Noah with full of expectation and confusion. Although Noah said he had a talent for magic, Ned had no idea how to perform magic.
“Okay, next, close your eyes, empty your mind, focus all your attention on the ring, and try to communicate with the ring and the mysterious power hidden behind it with your heart.” Noah said, and a deep yellow light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The power of the Mind Stone quietly took effect, and Noah's voice became ethereal in Ned's ears, as if floating from the distant sky. Ned's heart, which was originally agitated by excitement, instantly became calm and relaxed after hearing Noah's words. He subconsciously followed Noah's instructions, although he had no idea how to communicate with a ring on his hand with his heart.
"I seemed to see a light, a space full of light... and a human-shaped figure emitting light. He seemed to have three heads? Or three faces..." Ned closed his eyes and muttered to himself, as if he was narrating the strange scenes he had witnessed one by one.
Peter was puzzled. What strange thing did Ned see? Could magic have such a magical effect that it could make people see glowing figures?
Noah raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself, "Is this the special treatment for a magic genius?" His original idea was to let Ned establish a contract with Vishanti's dimension through the hanging ring like the mages of Kamar-Taj, so that Ned could use Vishanti's power.
However, listening to Ned's description at this moment, his consciousness seemed to have directly entered the dimensional space. That glowing figure with three heads or three faces? Isn't that the Trinity of Vishanti? Ned's talent is so high? It actually made Vishanti interested and met Ned in person.
However, if you think about it carefully, this does not seem difficult to understand. When Noah first watched the movie, he also thought Ned's talent was exaggerated. After all, when Ned first wore the ring, he just moved his fingers a few times while talking to Peter's girlfriend MJ, and sparks of a portal suddenly burst out in the air.
Later, when they noticed this abnormality, Ned kept muttering that he wanted to see Peter, and then he opened a portal, and it was a portal across the universe, directly summoning the Amazing Spider-Man from another universe. This talent is really exaggerated.
"Very good. Next, I will teach you a basic magic that all Kamar-Taj mages know - portal." Noah nodded slightly. Since Ned had already "met" with Vishanti, Vishanti would surely not be stingy in giving him energy support. So, Noah told Ned the knowledge of portal magic orally without reservation.
Although according to the original plot, Ned can open the portal with a strong will even if he has not systematically learned portal magic, but Noah is well aware of the risks. If he does not have the relevant knowledge, the portal opened by Ned is likely to lead to some unknown and dangerous places, such as an alternate dimension full of evil forces, or a dimensional realm occupied by powerful dark creatures.
While Noah was imparting knowledge to Ned, Peter on the side listened very attentively. He was wondering if he would also have this ability.
"Okay, now, clearly imagine the place you want to go in your mind, such as a room in your own home." Noah continued, "Hold the palm with the ring in front of you, and draw a circle with the other hand to outline the shape of the portal."
Ned heard this and subconsciously followed Noah's instructions. As his palm slid, an invisible force seemed to be stirred in the air, and a dazzling magic spark suddenly splashed out of thin air. Then, a circle of circular portal patterns emitting faint light began to slowly emerge in the air, like ripples on the water, gradually spreading outward.
"Oh my god!" Peter exclaimed in surprise, but he knew that he could not disturb Ned at this moment, so he suppressed his exclamation very low, but it still could not hide his excitement.
