"Should we go find the Ancient One?"
In the Marvel Universe, in the basement of a school, George stood in a combat simulation training room that he had expanded a hundred times using the Untraceable Extension Charm, a slightly conflicted expression on his face.
The Fairy Sphere is extremely difficult to learn. Based on his current level of understanding, even if he devoted all his energy to this True Magic, it would probably take him seven or eight years to master it.
To improve efficiency, one must acquire new knowledge about Time Magic.
Currently, it seems that besides the Harry Potter world, only Marvel has a potential breakthrough.
And the key to this breakthrough, of course, is the Ancient One, the master of time management, Doctor Strange's mentor, and the true Sorcerer Supreme.
Marvel's True Magic is mostly Loan the power of demons from various dimensions, and the True Magic they use also originates from these demons. However, the Ancient One is an exception.
Although most of the Ancient One's True Magic was Loan the demons of various dimensions, she only borrowed and never returned it. The demons of the dimensions would even get beaten up if they came to her door.
Behind her are not only the Triune Vishanti, but also Eternity, one of the Five Great Beings.
He believed that the Ancient One's essence was close to that of a dimensional lord, True Magic that after death, following Eternity, she would probably also be considered a dimensional lord.
Therefore, some of the Ancient One's True Magic should not require Loan, such as her Time Magic.
Of course, these are just his guesses, but what he is certain of is that the essence of True Magic in all worlds is the same. If he could ask the Ancient One about the theory of Time Magic in this world...
That would definitely be of great help to him in learning Fairy Sphere.
His hesitation stemmed from the Ancient One's attitude towards him, as the Sorcerer Supreme, who could use her own magic and whose essence was similar to that of the dimensional demons of this world.
But after thinking about it carefully, it shouldn't be a big problem.
The Ancient One could use the Time Stone to see the past and future, so she might have been paying attention to him long ago.
Since no one has taken the initiative to contact him, there should be no hostility from them.
The Sorcerer Supreme protects Earth, primarily targeting dimensional demons who want to invade it. He won't interfere in matters between normal humans unless the entire Earth is about to perish.
He is, after all, human, not one of those dimensional demons.
Furthermore, in the event of a real conflict, he might not be a match for the Ancient One, but he would certainly not be powerless to fight back.
The Ancient One's power lies not only in her own strength, but more importantly in the fact that the Three Sanctums can significantly weaken the power of the dimensional demons.
When the dimensional demons left their own dimensions, their power was already weakened by more than half. After coming to Earth, their power was further weakened by the Three Sanctums, which is why they were severely beaten by the Ancient One.
Therefore, before Kaecilius summoned Dormammu to descend, he first destroyed the Three Sanctums.
When Wanda attacked Kamar-Taj, the Three Sanctums were essentially useless.
He is a human born on Earth. Although he is an experimental subject, he is not a dimensional demon god, Three Sanctums have no effect on him.
Now he can transform into a dragon using Animagus, greatly increasing his strength, and he still has a certain ability to protect himself.
"Let's go check out the New York Sanctum first!"
In the end, George decided to go see the Ancient One. If things really worked out, it would relieve a weight on his mind.
Otherwise, not knowing the Ancient One's attitude towards him would have made him somewhat uneasy.
I pushed open the door and walked out of the training room, onto the school grounds.
It's afternoon now, and the students are in class. In the past few months, the school has had more students and more teachers.
After the annihilation of Project Insight in Washington and the subsequent public unveiling of the school to the media, Esper from all over the world have been arriving at the school.
Among them are children sent by their parents, as well as adult superpowered Esper are ostracized because of their superpowers.
After being screened by the professors' Psychic Abilities, those who pass become students, teachers, and school staff, while those who fail are dismissed.
The Superpower Academy has now become a sanctuary for Esper around the world.
Here, at least they don't have to worry about being captured by the local government and various organizations to be subjected to experiments.
As George spread his wings, preparing to fly towards the New York Sanctum, a rainbow descended from the sky, and Thor appeared on the lawn in front of the school.
Good afternoon, George!
"Is everything resolved?"
Seeing this, George smiled and asked.
Two months ago, Thor finally managed to lift Mjolnir through his own efforts and regain the divine power that Odin had sealed away.
Now he travels back and forth between the Asgard, the Superpower Academy, and Jane's residence, and sometimes he also enthusiastically cracks down on some criminal gangs.
"It's all taken care of. There was a minor disturbance in Jotunheim because of Laufey's death, but I've already gone there to calm things down."
As he spoke, he changed out of his Thor into a suit and transformed Mjolnir into an umbrella.
"Oh, it's already five o'clock. I need to hurry. I'm going to see the newly released movie 'The Cabin in the Woods' with Jian Yue today."
"The Cabin in the Woods. Hmm. Okay, enjoy the movie."
George thought back to the movie and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Vanished without a trace!"
He flew into the air, invisible, and headed towards the address of the New York Sanctum from the movie.
He remembered that in the movie, the New York Sanctum was located in Greenwich Village, in the heart of New York City, at 177A Bleecker Street. He wondered if the New York Sanctum in this universe would be different.
If it's not right, it doesn't matter; he can go directly to the Kamar-Taj headquarters in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.
Or you could use Tracking Charm to find it, but that seems a bit impolite.
"This should be the place."
He quickly found a three-story Victorian-style townhouse made of brown sandstone, with France Baroque architectural design and a duplex roof, according to the house number.
There is a circular skylight in the roof of the villa, with four curved lines.
Although the entire villa was shrouded in powerful True Magic, George could still sense the powerful magic hidden within.
"Ding-dong!"
Upon arriving at the villa's entrance, George reached out and pressed the doorbell.
A moment later, a black man dressed in Mage's robe opened the door.
He wasn't surprised by George's appearance, but smiled and said:
"Is this Mr. George? The Sorcerer Supreme is already waiting for you."
"Did the Sorcerer Supreme know I was coming?"
George raised an eyebrow.
He knew that the Ancient One possessed the Time Stone, was proficient in Time Magic, and could glimpse different possibilities of the future, but she was not omniscient or omnipotent.
Just like Doctor Strange could see 14,000,605 futures where he was fighting Thanos, it was because he used Time Magic specifically for that battle.
Otherwise, he should have foreseen the dangers of Thanos's future attack and Scarlet Witch's Blackened much earlier.
The fact that the Ancient One knew he was coming and was already waiting here shows that, as he suspected, Ancient One had indeed been paying attention to him for a long time, but had not taken the initiative to contact him.
