Ch. 321Pulling Up the Grass by the Roots (1/5)
After Might Guy defeated Six Paths Madara, the Avengers and government officials wondered why he had not pursued Madara back to Earth. Wu Chen explained that the Ancient One’s arrival had changed the situation, leaving the heroes to consider the power and history of Earth’s ancient protector.
- The Avengers celebrated Might Guy’s victory but questioned why he let Madara Uchiha escape and wondered who the bald figure in space was.
- The Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the United States government worried that Madara might return and cause another disaster.
- Wu Chen explained that the Ancient One had appeared and claimed he had learned about her through his twin brother, Wu Chén.
- Wu Chen described the Ancient One as a centuries-old Sorcerer Supreme who protected Earth and had earned Odin’s respect.
- Wu Chen said the Chitauri had avoided Earth because they feared the Ancient One, though he had invented that explanation.
- The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. believed the Ancient One was formidable because she had crossed the void and challenged the tenfold-strengthened Eight Gates Guy.
