Chapter 41: The Sorcerer Supreme
Chapter 41: The Sorcerer Supreme
A bald woman in a yellow robe slowly walked out from the orange-colored space door.
She was Sorcerer Supreme, who had guarded Earth for a thousand years, The Ancient One!
"Strange..." Ancient One frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why did Chthon\'s aura disappear?"
As early as when Chthon descended to Earth, she had deliberately blocked the energy fluctuations of black magic and temporarily blinded Ancient One\'s Time Stone to prevent her from stopping all of this by observing the past and future timeline.
However, the plan that was supposed to be perfect was unexpectedly broken by Lod.
The great destructive power of sword\'s cremation could no longer be hidden from Ancient One the moment the summoning magic array was destroyed.
Before Ancient One could think about what was going on, he was interrupted by a sudden roar.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
A beast-like roar resounded through the entire sky!
"Is that... a human?"
Ancient One looked towards the source of the voice, but then his expression froze slightly, because it was a strange creature she had never seen before.
She saw Lod...
No, the current him could no longer be called Lod!
The white bone mask covered his face, and the two red dots in his dark eyes suddenly opened. The terrifying Spiritual Power was like a sharp blade, violently rubbing against each other. The rising heat wave made his figure look a bit illusory and blurry.
"This kind of ominous feeling..."
Ancient One sized up the energy-shrouded Lod, Ancient One looked at Lod and prepare to engage in a battle.
In her thousand years of life, she had resisted countless magical creatures, but she had never seen such a strange creature!
Brutal, destructive, fierce, and other negative emotions were bundled up into one creature, as if this monster in front of her was born to destroy!
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
A roar that shook the heavens and earth, accompanied by rolling waves of air, spread out!
A monstrous killing intent erupted from the scarlet eyes of the beast. Lod, who was half hollow, suddenly stepped forward. The ground was unable to withstand this violent impact, and in an instant, it collapsed layer by layer, creating a huge crater!
Swish!
Lod suddenly disappeared. In the next second, he appeared in front of Ancient One, and his zanpakuto slashed out with great force!
"In the name of the Mountain Emperor - the Red Ring of Raggador!"
Almost at the same time, a red ring appeared in Ancient One\'s hands, forming a shield made of magic.
This was a basic technique that all mages of Kamar-Taj knew. It was a spell with a low requirement but a high ceiling. When used in the hands of different people, it had different effects. In Ancient One\'s hands, its defense was naturally far stronger than other mages!
Clang!
The collision between sword\'s blade and the magic shield instantly caused the energy to surge and explode. It was as if several missiles exploded in the sky, setting off a visible storm that swept the dark clouds away.
After the billowing smoke and dust dispersed, Ancient One was unscathed, only his yellow robe was stained with some dust.
"Roar -"
Half hollow transformed Lod growled. The pitch-black cero suddenly condensed at the tip of his finger, his target was Ancient One and the city behind her!
"Huh?"
The expression on Ancient One\'s face finally changed slightly. "This is... the dark energy of Chthon?"
Boom
A dark flash tore through the sky. The terrifying destructive power penetrated through layers of space, stirring up tidal ripples, like sparks hitting the earth!
"Expand - Mirror Dimension!"
Ancient One muttered softly as she clapped her hands together.
Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng!
The surrounding space suddenly rippled with layers of glasses.
The scenery in front of her continued to flip and expand like a kaleidoscope, presenting a magnificent scene after multiple mirrors being folded!
Mirror Dimension!
Only the high-level mages of Kamar-Taj could use spatial spells.
They could pull the caster and the enemy into the mirror dimension together. The destruction caused inside this dimension would not affect the outside world.
There were two purposes for doing so.
First, it could protect the existence of sorcery and not attract the attention of ordinary people.
Secondly, it could protect the real world from the otherworlder.
"In the name of Mountain Emperor, Shield of the Seraphim!"
Ancient One opened her hands, and orange-yellow magic sparks jumped. With the pentagram as the base, they arranged themselves automatically, quickly outlining a complicated magic pattern!
The Seraphim Shield was an all-around high level defensive spell. In the movies, only Dr. Strange had used it once. He had once blocked the impact of a spaceship for everyone. From this, it could be seen how powerful her defense was.
However, Dr. Strange who inherited the title of Sorcerer Supreme not long ago, compared to the Ancient One who had been inherited it for a thousand years, whether it was magic, experience, or ability, she was way more powerful.
Finally.
The black cero collided with the golden shield!
Rumble!!!!
The ominous Cero exploded in the sky, and the black light instantly blazed!
For a moment, the black light covered everything, and the entire world was dyed black.
The violent fluctuations in space shook as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake. Ripples spread out in circles, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire sky above Manhattan.
A shockwave visible to the naked eye rose and overlapped like a tide, finally transforming into a meteorite that could destroy the heavens and earth, fiercely smashing into the ground!
Fortunately, this was the Mirror Dimension.
If this energy blast were to explode outside, it was likely that half of Manhattan would be destroyed!
Whoooosh ---
The raging energy storm slowly dispersed, and the figures of both sides appeared.
One side was Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One. Her expression was indifferent, without a trace of emotion, as if she did not care about the enemy in front of her at all.
The other side was Lod, who had already turned into half hollow. The Spiritual Power around him was like the smoke after burning. He slowly rose up, and white bone armor appeared on his body. He began to move in the direction of Ancient One!
"Let me see, what exactly are you?"
Ancient One said lightly. From her hands appeared a complicated array of connected lines, and the eyeball-shaped metal ornament hung on her chest slowly floated up.
The eye-shaped metal ornament was the object that Sorcerer Supreme was guarding - the Eye of the Agamotto!
"In the name of the Agamotto - Time Reversal!"
Numerous green rings engraved with complicated runes wrapped around Sorcerer Supreme\'s wrists. The magical energy gathered in front of her chest formed a pattern that looked like an eye!
At this moment!
Everything in the world was no secret in her eyes. Whether it was in the past, present, or even the future, she could pry into it!
But a moment later...
Ancient One was stunned. Her calm heart seemed to be broken by a stone, and sweat dripped down from her cheeks. "This is impossible... The Time Stone can\'t see its past?"
The Eye of Agamotto had failed!
Out of the hundreds of timelines that she had observed, none of them had this strange monster within them!
It was as if... it had never existed!
Only things that did not exist could not be observed by time!
