Chapter 701 Succession to the Supreme Mage
Lockhart stood in front of the Bifrost, with the Ancient One standing beside it.
Until now, every time Lockhart looked down at the Cosmic Cube in his hand, his eyes were in a trance.
The Supreme Mage is awesome!
The Evil God has done a lot, and now even Asgard has done it.
Odin actually lent him the Cosmic Cube.
What is the Cosmic Cube?
Space gem!
To be honest, when the Cosmic Cube was taken back to Asgard by Thor, Lockhart didn't think much about it.
Only after he becomes a god, or after Odin dies, will he have a chance to obtain it.
After all, the name of Odin, the God King of Asgard and Lord of the Nine Realms, is not just a boast.
Like the Supreme Mage, he has a reputation that is displayed nakedly.
It’s unknown how many evil gods died on Odin’s Eternal Spear.
Then……
Looking at the Cosmic Cube in front of him, Lockhart still felt a little unreal.
"Supreme Mage, just lend it to me."
"No other conditions?"
Lockhart seemed a little worried and asked again.
To be honest, Lockhart was overjoyed by the dozens of dimensional fragments and various different sources of power.
But I never expected that there would be an even bigger surprise.
But it's a space gem.
In addition, after worshiping the Supreme Mage, he obtained the Time Stone.
Space in one hand, time in the other.
Oh my gosh, it’s invincible!
Lockhart was very excited and seemed to see a bright light before his eyes.
However, he still suppressed his excitement and asked the Supreme Mage.
"Don't worry, there are no conditions." Gu Yi said meaningfully.
"Besides, I discussed it with Odin."
"Asgard and Karma Taj will be officially united."
Lockhart heard this and nodded, indicating that he understood.
To be honest, the alliance between Asgard and Karma Taj was within Lockhart's expectations.
Even if Gu Yi didn't mention it, he would make such a request to Asgard after he became Kama Taj.
Of course, there is a high probability that Thor will take over after Odin dies.
However, there is nothing wrong with withdrawing money now.
The two top gods, Odin and Ancient One, are still alive and have joined forces.
For the evil god's shock, it will definitely have an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
It can buy him more time.
The thought flashed across his mind, and Lockhart looked down at the Cosmic Cube in front of him again, with unconcealable joy in his eyes.
With the Cosmic Cube, more and more comprehensive plans can be made.
And don't forget, there are clues to the third Infinity Stone on Earth.
…………
Kama Taj, Central Square.
The central square is also called the training square.
Generally speaking, mage apprentices are trained here every day.
Some key festivals or celebrations will also be held in the central square.
After all, the space here is large enough to accommodate almost all Kama Taj mages.
It's the perfect choice for hosting large-scale events.
This morning, a large number of mages gathered in the central square.
Looking from a distance, they even look like ants, densely packed and countless.
It seems that all the magicians of Kama Taj have arrived.
Of course, this is impossible. After all, the three major temples still need mages to guard them.
But now, except for the mages who need to be guarded, almost all the other mages have arrived at the central square.
Because, a milestone news will be announced here today.
That is……
"I really didn't expect that the Supreme Mage would step down."
"Thousands of years have passed. I didn't expect that our generation of mages would wait until this moment."
"..."
"Why is the Sorcerer Supreme stepping down? What will the Sorcerer Supreme do next?"
"Who is the next Sorcerer Supreme?"
"..."
"It's impossible. It's definitely a rumor. How could the Supreme Master, who has been guarding Kamal Taj for thousands of years, leave his post?"
"Yes, without the Supreme Mage, how can Kama Taj resist the evil god of dimension?"
"..."
"Have you heard that the next Supreme Mage will be Elder Byron?"
"What? Did you hear that right? Why did I hear Master Casillas?"
"Although the instructor is indeed not weak in strength, he should not be able to become the Supreme Mage. I have also heard about the guardian mage of the New York Temple and some old antiques."
"By the way, there's also Master Lockhart!"
"Hey, all kinds of speculations are flying all over the sky now. I even wonder if it is the conspiracy of the evil god of dimension."
"..."
In the spacious square, mages were discussing.
Some argued loudly and their faces turned red.
Some frowned, seemingly puzzled.
Others looked worried, as if they were thinking of some bad outcome.
On the square, life is full of life, and each mage has a different expression. They seem to be full of thoughts about this supreme mage's succession ceremony.
That's right, for almost all the mages present, this is the first time they have experienced it.
Their previous generation, or even the previous generation, the Supreme Mage had never changed.
For thousands of years, it seems that the Sorcerer Supreme was not a position, but another name for the Ancient One.
At this moment, at the front of the square.
One of the protagonists of the topic, the law enforcer Elder Byron, Casillas and other powerful mages were discussing in a low voice.
"Until now, I still can't figure it out!" Byron whispered.
"I admit that Lockhart is very powerful and has made a lot of contributions to Kama Taj."
"However, I have only joined for less than three years, just over two years. In such a short time..."
Byron didn't say everything, but his unwilling tone could be clearly sensed by those around him.
As a law enforcement elder, he stands at the top of Kama Taj. If the Ancient One really steps down from his position as Sorcerer Supreme.
There is no doubt that he is definitely on the candidate list to be the next Supreme Mage.
However, he didn't hear any news.
There wasn't even a hint of warning.
Suddenly, the Supreme Mage called them in front of them and announced the news directly.
They were not even consulted.
How could Byron accept this?
Regarding Byron's unwillingness, the surrounding mages also quite agreed with him.
Although they don't think they will become the next Supreme Mage.
But there is no doubt that they absolutely do not think that a person who has only joined Karma Taj for less than three years will immediately climb to the top of their heads and even become the person who will lead them in the future.
However……
What can they do?
No one has ever violated the decisions made by the Supreme Mage.
This is the prestige and majesty accumulated over thousands of years.
They could only discuss it in low voices here, and did not even dare to say it in front of the Supreme Mage.
but……
Unlike mages like Byron, some mages also had a hint of joy on their faces.
For example, Casillas, such as Maureen, these are friends who have interests related to Lockhart.
They never dared to expect to become the Supreme Mage.
But when their best friend becomes the Sorcerer Supreme, it's a huge thrill for them.
To say they were overjoyed was hard to describe their excitement at the moment.
It is obvious to the naked eye that their future will be bright.
At this moment, the sun is gradually rising, and everyone's discussions seem to be getting more and more intense.
At this moment, suddenly...
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In the sky, a huge red flame-colored halo appeared.
At the same time, a huge aura seemed to overwhelm everyone.
The originally noisy square quickly became quiet.
Everyone raised their heads and watched the changes in the sky.
It is a halo of color floating high in the sky, and the inside of the ring is like water, with slight waves.
next moment……
A picture emerged. In a somewhat dilapidated hall, two mages were fighting with a half-broken corpse filled with a dark aura.
The fighting seemed fierce.
Laser magic can be seen everywhere, green and red lights flashing constantly.
The red flame-colored runes evolved into various magics and attacked the corpse.
The situation seemed very urgent, and the two mages were at a disadvantage.
However, it still held firm.
Seeing the dangerous scenes, the mages in the square became a little worried.
However, when Casillas saw this scene below, his eyes were a little dazed and a little incredible.
Including the surrounding mages, they all looked at Casillas.
Because the mages above were none other than Casillas and Lockhart.
This scene is exactly the scene where the two fight against Dormammu, the God of Darkness.
The battle continues, you all become more intense, and it ends with the mage winning and the Ancient One arriving.
However, everyone has noticed that among the pictures, Lockhart has the most pictures, and it seems that he has made the greatest contribution.
Soon, the picture continued to change.
The next moment, a grand hall appeared in front of everyone's eyes, looking at the familiar New York Temple and the panic scene.
Everyone seemed to realize what happened next.
How could they forget?
It didn't take long for them to go through it.
It is the scene of the dimensional invasion. This is the battlefield where the Twilight Evil God invades the New York Temple.
What they saw next was Lockhart holding the Eye of Agamotto, suppressing the Evil God of Dusk.
Watching Lockhart construct a time and space cage through the Eye of Agamotto, constantly recycling the time of the Twilight Evil God.
Suppress it completely, even the God of Twilight has no ability to resist.
Many mages secretly smacked their lips.
Of course, there are also many mages who are shocked by the ability of the Eye of Agamotto.
The power of time seems a bit unsolvable in their eyes.
The picture continues to change.
In the next scene, the evil god Mephisto appears.
In the broken mirror space, Thor, Iron Man, fought with Loki and others.
And Lockhart's enemy is naturally the evil god Mephisto.
Seeing Mephisto escaping in embarrassment, many mages felt secretly happy.
Mephisto, the king of hell known for his cunning, many mages have suffered losses.
Seeing him in such a mess was like drinking ice water on a hot summer day
In one word, cool!
Next, there are scenes of Lockhart invading dimensions and so on.
By now, almost everyone has realized who the next protagonist is.
In other words, who is the next Supreme Mage?
There is no doubt that it is Gilderoy Lockhart, the protagonist of the high-altitude scene.
If we talk about before, some people said that Lockhart is the next Supreme Mage.
They will just feel dissatisfied.
Why, the mage who had just joined them not long ago was standing over them and leading the Kama Taj that they were proud of.
But I saw the scenes that kept emerging in the sky, and watched the scene of Lockhart leading a group of mages into the world of gods to fight the evil god.
They had to admit that Lockhart was indeed stronger than them, or that Lockhart's contribution in fighting the evil god had robbed them of too much.
At least, few mages dare to say that they have repelled or even defeated the evil incarnation.
And not just once, but multiple times, and with increasing ease.
what does that mean?
They are clear.
Even Byron and others in front couldn't help but fall silent when they saw these scenes.
Of course they knew these things, but hearing about them and seeing them with their own eyes were completely different things.
As time passed, the high-altitude scene gradually disappeared, and the sun came into view again.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yi appeared quietly on the high platform in front of the square, looking at all the mages below with a smile on his face.
"Fellow mages, I have watched you step by step until you reach this point."
"Every mage plays an indelible contribution in safeguarding the earth."
Everyone present listened to Gu Yi's voice quietly, and no one spoke.
"For thousands of years, I have seen generations of mages continue to make sacrifices. Only with the current Kama Taj, can we have the current peace."
Ancient One's voice was very calm, but it revealed a deep nostalgia. It seemed that everyone felt the years that generations of Kama Taj Masters had devoted to the earth.
"For thousands of years, I have remembered the faces of those mages again and again, and then forgotten them again and again."
"To be honest, I'm a little tired."
"I want to rest too!"
Gu Yi's voice was a little low, but it also revealed some expectations.
"But I know very well that everyone respects me as the Supreme Master, so I am naturally responsible for Kama Taj."
"I won't rest until I have the right person in place."
"So, in these hundreds and thousands of years, I have observed one mage after another."
"finally……"
"I met a suitable mage who can lead the Kama Steps to a brighter path."
"This mage is my successor-Gilderoy Lockhart!"
When Ancient One finished speaking, Lockhart appeared beside Ancient One at some unknown moment.
But there was silence in the square, as if affected by Gu Yi's words.
But soon, sparse applause broke out.
It was taken by the mages headed by Casillas.
Soon, other mages also clapped their hands, and for a moment, the entire square was filled with strong applause.
Lockhart's expression was dull when he saw this scene.
He naturally knows that many people have doubts in their hearts
This is normal.
After all, the timing of his joining Karma Taj was indeed a flaw.
However, these are minor issues.
Sitting in the position of the Supreme Mage, he has many methods to make people feel at home.
At the same time, Gu Yi's voice sounded again.
"I declare that Lockhart will take over the position of Supreme Mage of Karma Taj!"
