Adam thought about her offer.
He didn't have a shred of doubt that he would fight for Earth. After all, whether he was Dimensional Lord or not, Earth was his home.
Causing mass destruction wasn't something he would love to do. Unless he was forced, he wouldn't choose such a path.
But not favoring mutants was something hard to agree on. After all, he was a mutant first, then Dimensional Lord second.
Despite turning himself into one, he was still a mutant at core.
His situation was similar to Franklin Richard's, but his reality manipulation conflicts with Eternity.
As he thought about it, he suddenly realized something.
If he could help Earth defend against other Dimensional Lords, why couldn't they help him conquer those dimensions?
After all, if he could conquer those dimensions, he would not only gain the magical energy but also the dimension itself.
Then, he would no longer need to be worried about shrinking his dimension.
"I can agree, but on one condition!"
Adam replied.
"Let's hear that!"
Ancient One didn't agree immediately. Although she had the Time Stone, she couldn't see his future.
Otherwise, she wouldn't need Eternity's help to locate him.
"Once those Dimensional Lords, Hell Lords attack Earth, I can help you defend Earth, but in return, you will help me attack them."
Ancient One narrowed her eyes and asked.
"Are you trying to get their dimensions? Don't forget! They are almost invincible in their own dimensions. That's the nature of a Dimensional Lord."
Adam nodded his head and replied.
"I know that. And, it doesn't really matter. I will not attack them until I am sure of defeating them."
"But I am afraid other-dimensional lords and hell lords will stop me from completely killing them."
"That's where I need you to stall them long enough."
Hearing that, Ancient One stared at him for a moment before she burst out a chuckle.
"You overestimated the nature of these beings. They do not care if you kill one or two or even several of those."
"In fact, the more you kill them, the easier it becomes for them to gain more parts of their dimensions and even souls."
"But I will help you block them. So that you can completely swallow their universe into yours."
She said and raised her palm. A scroll appeared in her palm and opened itself.
Soon, several words appeared on the scroll.
"This is the contract of the Living Tribunal. Once you sign this contract, you mustn't break the terms of this contract, or you will be judged."
Hearing that, Adam almost broke a sweat from his back.
He never expected her to take out the contract of the Living Tribunal.
He didn't know whether it existed or not. He only knew Living Tribunal was the Multiversal God.
He couldn't even fight Eternity. How could he have the guts to fight the Living Tribunal?
After holding the scroll, he read every single word. Only then did he confirm that the terms were exactly as they had discussed.
He was going to sign the contract when the Ancient One stopped him and rolled her eyes.
"Mr Adam, you are just a clone. This must be signed by the real Dimensional Lord."
"By the way, do you have any title for your Dimensional Lord?"
This led him to confusion.
He hadn't thought of the title of his real body. He always thought of calling himself Adam.
But now that he thought about it, it wouldn't make sense to use that name.
After all, he was going to claim the souls of other beings. He wasn't a normal human anymore, not even just a mutant.
More importantly, he had already agreed not to favor mutants over humans.
But this term was blurred. He couldn't support mutants if they fought humans.
But he could still help mutants in other things. So, only when humans and mutants fight was he allowed to interfere and help mutants.
Thinking about it, he decided to come up with a proper name for his real body.
'Martial God? Void Lord? Supreme Lord? They feel quite cliché. I need something more interesting.'
He thought for a moment before a new idea came to his mind.
'Kurama!'
'All hail Kurama!'
'Kurama is a tailed beast who gives his Chakra to Naruto. My real body is a Dimensional Lord who gives his energy to the clone.'
'Kurama can give different abilities to Naruto. My real body can give different abilities to the clone.'
'Kurama lives within the sealed space, my real body lives within a closed dimension.'
'And more importantly, I should be able to use purple energy as a Chakra, giving me abilities similar to Naruto.'
'Of course, the main reason is simply in the honor of Kurama, who lived inside Naruto until his death.'
'Although this name isn't that scary, it's the name that touches my heart.'
"Kurama!"
As he said, he created a portal and sent the contract to Kurama.
"Kurama? Is that the name of your real body?" Ancient One was a bit surprised by this name.
It didn't feel menacing like other Dimensional Lords.
Adam nodded his head and said.
"From now on, my real body's name will be Kurama. I will still go by the name of Adam Grant."
Soon, the portal reopened, but this time, Adam didn't feel much consumption of his energy.
This was great. Because every single portal would cost him enough energy to use telekinesis for an hour.
"Good!"
Ancient One took the contract with a gentle smile on her face. Now, she didn't need to worry about this new dimensional lord.
She wasn't truly concerned about other Dimensional Lords. They would do their best, but every time, they would be defeated by the heroes and Strange.
But the same couldn't be said for humanity and their battle against mutants.
If Adam weren't a mutant, based on his nature, she wouldn't have used the contract.
But considering that Adam was a mutant, she felt it necessary to use a contract.
Otherwise, if Adam sided with the mutants, it would completely end humans.
Even if Adam wasn't a bad person, he would rather have humans suffer than let mutants go through such suffering.
Of course, she didn't know Adam had already planned something else for mutants.
"By the way, Ancient One, can you give some basics on Magic?"
Ancient One was about to use the portal to leave when she heard Adam's request.
She speechlessly stared at him.
What kind of Dimensional Lord would ask for magical knowledge from Kama Taj, a holy land that swore to protect the world from Dimensional Lords?
Of course, Adam knew that, but he had to get the knowledge of systematic magic from somewhere.
He didn't need to worry about energy since he had that, but different magic would help him do different stuff.
And Kama Taj was simply the holy land of magic. They even had Black Magic Books.
"Now that we are friends, shouldn't you help a friend?"
Adam cheekily asked.
Ancient One rolled her eyes but didn't reject him. Instead, a new idea was formulated in her mind.
Every single magician in their universe borrows magical energies from higher-dimensional beings.
The problem was the cost and result.
Black Magic costs a lot and gives good results. White Magic costs a little bit gives bad results.
If one wanted to use White Magic at its peak, they must choose to become a spokesperson of the Vishanti, selling their souls to them.
If one wanted to use Black Magic, they must sell their souls to evil beings.
The problem was that Ancient One didn't want to sell her souls so easily. Even if she did sell her soul, it would only go to the highest bidder.
So, she not only used White Magic but also Black Magic, but her soul was already connected to Eternity.
That meant as long as she could bear the influence of Black Magic, neither side would be able to claim or control her soul.
And after her death, Eternity would claim her soul.
She had this luxury, but not everyone from Kama Taj had this power. So, finding another source of power was a good thing for Kama Taj.
Especially when this power source was neither white magic nor black magic. It was simply neutral magic.
Or, rather, it was simply Kurama's Magic.
Thinking about it, Ancient One placed her palm forward and said.
"Can you let me feel your energy?"
Adam nodded. He had already signed a contract with her, so he didn't mind letting her know the power of his energy.
When Ancient One felt the purple energy enter her body, the space around her started shaking.
She realized her White Magic and Black Magic were being devoured by this energy.
These magical energies came directly from the higher dimensions, but they were being eaten without any regard.
Feeling such changes, she immediately opened the Mirror World, and they immediately entered the Mirror World.
