Chapter 686 Two choices given by Gu Yi
Why?
The wonderful dream world, Lockhart's strongest ability, the foundation for becoming a god, why did he give up like this?
After hearing about the problem with the system.
A calm smile appeared on Lockhart's face and he whispered: "I want to find another way forward!"
Remember, Lockhart took Thor to meet the Ancient One?
When Lockhart was leading him away, Ancient One reminded him through a message.
What you give up now is the cornerstone of your strength in the future.
At the time, Lockhart didn't quite understand.
But the Supreme Mage’s special reminder must have its meaning.
He also thought repeatedly about everything related to Ancient One since he joined Kama Taj.
Gu Yi helped him sign a contract with Emperor Weishan and put forward loophole-like contract regulations for himself.
Ancient One agreed.
Later, he gave away his own book on chaos magic.
He also sent me his specially handwritten experience on the relationship between gods and believers.
Every time I asked for advice after that, it gave me more or less guidance on the direction of my practice.
There is also the last chance and firm attitude mentioned by Ancient One.
Lockhart already understood.
The final choice given by the ancient master is right in front of you.
Or choose to become a god in the Marvel world and continue the relationship between gods and believers in the past.
Or, choose to give up and find a new path.
Between the two, it seemed, it was an easy choice.
Become a god, only the power of gods is well known.
Gain eternal life, have the authority of rules, and control the lives of thousands of believers.
He is one step away from becoming a god.
The prototype of the world that fallen mages like David spent countless efforts to pin their hopes on.
He already has it. As long as he cultivates the dream world in a logical way, an unimpeded road to becoming a god will be in front of him.
And what about the alternative?
Find a very new path for the mage.
The Marvel world hasn't discovered a new path in billions of years.
In addition, even if you discover a new path, you will be hostile to the gods of the multiverse of the Marvel world.
Probably most gods don't care.
But even if there is only one percent or even one ten thousandth of a god, it is difficult for Lockhart to accept it at this stage.
This was Lockhart's choice.
To put it simply, the Ancient One let Lockhart choose.
Should he integrate into the original god system of the Marvel world, or choose to create a new path and break the control of the gods over the mage.
And Lockhart chose...
"Host, I understand what you mean."
"Congratulations, you have found your calling!"
The mechanical voice of the system sounded, and a faint smile appeared on Lockhart's face.
It seems to be because the system said congratulations.
Or maybe the system didn't stop him or mock him for overestimating his abilities.
Yes, Lockhart chose option 2.
Give up the path to godhood that is within reach and choose a tortuous road with no clue of the way forward.
Mephisto, and Dormammu on the side looked confused and confused.
Because they heard nothing just now, this time, it wasn't Lockhart who took action.
But the power of the system.
"System, thank you very much for your help."
"You know my character."
"Just now, I told you what I wanted."
"So, what do you want?"
With that said, Lockhart pointed to Mephisto and Dormammu beside him.
"If you want to get more original power, I believe we will cooperate very well in the future."
Who are friends and who are enemies?
This is a very good question.
If the system helps you, must you be a friend?
uncertain.
But must they be enemies?
This is not necessarily the case.
Friends and enemies themselves are a very ambiguous choice.
But there is a criterion.
If there is a conflict of interest, no matter how good a friend is, he or she will eventually turn into an enemy.
If you have the same interests, it is possible to become friends.
So-called friends and enemies strategy proposed by great men.
Make friends more numerous and enemies less numerous.
The core lies in exploring the common interests of both parties.
The more points you can dig, the more friends you will have.
This is what Lockhart is doing now - he is trying to build mutual benefit for himself and the system.
Because, what he does next, if the system is willing to help...
"What do you think? Host." The familiar mechanical voice of the system sounded: "I am very curious about what purpose I may have in your eyes."
Although the voice sounded like a machine, it still couldn't hide the system's smile and curiosity.
Lockhart didn't answer, but actually looked at Mephisto and Dormammu.
Pointing at them, he answered the question and said, "These two are a bit of an eyesore if you leave them alone."
"Otherwise, you'd better swallow it."
This time, Lockhart's voice fell on Mephisto and Dormammu's ears.
Naturally they were unwilling to do so.
Although sacrificing an avatar is a price they can afford.
But it is natural to be reluctant to sacrifice in vain.
"My friend, don't rush to take action yet." Mephisto said quickly: "I roughly understand the relationship between you."
"What Lockhart can offer you, we can do the same."
"I may have special resources when I was working on Hart, but that doesn't mean there's no possibility of cooperation between us."
"I know you may be worried about betrayal, deception."
"You have to believe in our sincerity. We have many means to maintain fairness for both parties."
Dormammu also said repeatedly: "Don't rush to take action, anyway, we are all restrained now."
"Why don't you listen to what we have to offer."
“Our accumulation over hundreds of thousands of years is no joke.”
"The original power of our two incarnations is our meeting gift..."
"..."
They tried to persuade the system to stop.
This is just an incarnation, but the sacrifice has its value.
After the system heard this, it looked specifically at Lockhart's expression.
But seeing Lockhart's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but feel bored.
next moment……
call!
The straight purple-gold light ball embodied by Systematicity suddenly grew in size.
In less than a second, it passed through the bodies of Mephisto and Dormammu.
At the same time, their bodies suddenly disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, the system returned to its original size.
Flying in front of Lockhart, he continued.
"Now, you can talk."
Lockhart took a deep look at the location where Mephisto and Dormammu disappeared.
Did the method of trying to feel himself on the hands of two people have any effect?
However, when the system sounded, Lockhart did not hesitate and said directly: "Of course."
"System, as I said before, I'm grateful."
"Your abilities are very powerful."
"Especially in the early stages of my time travel, it would be difficult to ensure my safety without your help."
