Chapter 010: Sorcerer Ancient One, Though Late, Arrives
Su Yi returned to the Villa, preparing to count his gains.
Suddenly, in the air before him, sparks of Fire erupted, forming a circle.
A circular portal, about 1 meter in radius, appeared in front of Su Yi.
The moment Su Yi saw the portal, he knew it must be Sorcerer Ancient One.
His intervention to save Tony Stark must have caught the attention of Sorcerer Ancient One.
Sure enough, a bald Sorcerer with an extraordinary demeanor stepped out of the portal.
One of the guardians of the World, Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi, though late, had arrived!
"Su Yi, I need you to come with me!"
"Of course, Sorcerer Ancient One."
Su Yi directly called her by her name, and Sorcerer Ancient One didn't find it Strange at all.
She just motioned for Su Yi to go first, stepping through the portal.
Su Yi stepped through the portal, curiously observing everything before him.
This must be the sacred land of Sorcerers, Kamar-Taj.
It looked quite ordinary, nothing particularly special.
Sorcerer Ancient One seemed to read Su Yi's mind, "This place itself is nothing special."
"Would you like some tea?"
"Although I don't have the habit of drinking tea, I can't miss Sorcerer Ancient One's tea."
Su Yi naturally took a seat and accepted the cup of tea that Sorcerer Ancient One pushed towards him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Sorcerer Ancient One also sat down, cutting straight to the point without further ado.
"I have always guarded this World and constantly observed the future. A few days ago, I noticed a change in the timeline; the future became unobservable, no longer certain."
"I realized that something incredible had happened."
"It wasn't until today, when you appeared in the desert and saved Tony Stark, that I understood you are the root cause of all this."
"You, are you not from this Universe?"
Su Yi couldn't help but marvel, Sorcerer Supreme is indeed Sorcerer Supreme, truly powerful.
In front of Sorcerer Supreme, Su Yi had nothing to hide.
"That's right, I don't know why, but I just appeared in this Universe."
"In any case, I bear no ill will towards this World."
"This will also be my home from now on, so when this World faces danger, I will also step in to protect it."
Sorcerer Ancient One could perceive Su Yi's thoughts and naturally confirmed that Su Yi was not lying.
However, Su Yi's appearance made the future uncertain.
It could develop in a good direction, but there was also a chance for worse things to happen, which made Sorcerer Ancient One ponder more deeply.
"Your physical qualities in all aspects far exceed those of ordinary people, and your abilities are also very good."
"With your addition, this World will surely gain an extra layer of strength."
"However, your appearance is bound to bring about more changes and more powerful enemies."
In contrast, Su Yi was much calmer, quietly sipping his tea, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"Sorcerer Ancient One, you have seen a great deal of the World."
"Someone who dares to borrow power from Dormammu, and even dares not to return it, would he still be afraid of these things?"
"No matter how bad the future gets, there's always a way to deal with it."
"Just give me three to five years, and by then, I'll definitely be able to suppress Thanos with my bare hands and solo Dormammu."
Sorcerer Ancient One saw Song Chuan's strength; his physical qualities in all aspects far exceeded those of ordinary people.
He even possessed a Symbiote Suit and the ability to teleport.
Such strength would certainly not be a match for Thanos and Dormammu.
However, Su Yi was very confident, full of conviction, even believing he would become as strong as a god.
Sorcerer Ancient One couldn't see through Su Yi's "cheat" and didn't intend to press further.
Su Yi's words also put her at ease.
Su Yi's appearance would only enhance the protective forces of this World.
Whether it was Thanos, Dormammu, or other Villains, Sorcerer Ancient One trusted Strange and the Avengers.
"You're right, there's indeed nothing to worry about."
"With Strange, the Avengers members, other Superheroes, and you, this World is not so fragile as to be easily broken."
"Even if changes occur in the future, I believe you will definitely be able to handle them."
Su Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing he might have offended this great deity.
Although Su Yi's strength was already formidable, it was certainly not comparable to the person before him.
Fortunately, Sorcerer Ancient One was quite friendly.
Su Yi also planned to take this opportunity to learn more insider information.
"Sorcerer Ancient One, do you know about the Time Variance Authority founded by Kang the Conqueror? They operate outside of time, guarding the so-called Sacred Timeline to prevent time branches?"
"Kang the Conqueror? Time Variance Authority?"
Sorcerer Ancient One waved her hand, and a long stream of time appeared as she began to explain.
"I know a bit about the Kang the Conqueror you mentioned; he comes from the future."
"After developing time travel devices, Kang became obsessed with traversing timelines."
"Because of your appearance, the future has become unpredictable."
"Even he cannot fully comprehend this era, and there will be significant discrepancies."
"Moreover, with the protection of the Infinity Stones, he cannot easily conquer this World."
"And he is, after all, just an ordinary person; interfering with time, even playing with it, will ultimately incur an immeasurable cost."
With Sorcerer Ancient One's explanation, Su Yi felt relieved.
Without the existence of the Time Variance Authority, he didn't need to worry too much.
"Then, are there really Mutants, Inhumans, and Eternals in this World? And what other Superheroes will appear in the future?"
"These, perhaps, you will need to discover for yourself."
Not getting an answer, Su Yi was a little disappointed.
In any case, he would take things one step at a time; he would surely learn more information eventually.
"Alright, actually, I don't have much interest in exploring."
"I think, when the important moment arrives, they will reveal themselves."
"I just need to wait for the opportunity and then become stronger."
"If Sorcerer Ancient One has nothing else, I think I should go back. I have an appointment with Mary Jane, and I need to go back and prepare in advance."
Sorcerer Ancient One suddenly spoke, "Your talent is good; have you ever thought about learning magic?"
"Learning magic?"
Su Yi suddenly remembered what Sorcerer Ancient One had said to Strange: he is the most outstanding among us.
Then in the movie, Wong acted more like a Sorcerer Supreme than Strange.
In terms of talent, Ned mastered the portal with ease.
"I'm not someone who can settle down to learn magic. Strange is very talented; he is your successor."
Sorcerer Ancient One didn't insist, "Since you are unwilling to learn magic, I won't force you."
Su Yi prepared to leave, "Then, Sorcerer Ancient One, see you next time. If you need any help, feel free to come find me."
"I think so."
Su Yi, without another word, chose to teleport back to his room.
After returning, Su Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, is this Sorcerer Ancient One?"
"She really feels unfathomable, making one feel immense pressure."
"But it's good; she seems to maintain goodwill towards me."
"Next, let's see what reward I get for saving Tony this time."
