It's about to begin

Time flows like water, and days pass one by one. In the blink of an eye, the old year is bid farewell and the new is welcomed. Feeney has grown another year older, and simultaneously entered the dangerous year 2010. If not for his intervention, the world would have entered its Chaos Era starting from this year.

What followed was a barrage of events: the Iron Man Battle, the Norse Mythology Descends, an Alien Army invasion, Intelligent Life to Extinguish Humanity, and more, all erupting at once.

In April, Feeney had been at Kamar-Taj for nearly a year. The peaceful rhythm of life had allowed his strength to grow steadily, and he was even not far from his Fourth Draw.

Just as he was becoming somewhat immersed in this life, a piece of news shattered the tranquility, even causing him to accidentally spark a Portal while practicing spells.

"It's been a year, Iron Man is missing, and I still can't even open a damn portal."

Looking at the Eye of Agamotto in his hand, Feeney felt utterly dejected. For the past year, he had almost abandoned learning all other spells to focus solely on this one, and still, he hadn't succeeded. He felt that Master Ancient One's assessment of his talent as mediocre was a gross understatement.

The news of Tony Stark's disappearance made it impossible for Feeney to remain comfortably in Kamar-Taj any longer, as he had to start considering the safety of his family.

Actually, since the New Year, he had been urging his aging parents to retire, but the two, who considered themselves still young, were unwilling to agree and kept delaying.

Now that Iron Man was about to debut, Feeney dared not let them continue their leisurely work in New York. Who knew when a Nuclear Bomb might be dropped.

If they absolutely refused to leave New York, Feeney would still have to make them move. Over the past year, he had gone through immense hardship and finally managed to buy a house next to the New York Sanctum.

Only here in all of New York could he feel somewhat at ease.

"Why do we have to resign and move there?"

His parents were completely bewildered by Feeney's request, and Skye, too, didn't understand why Feeney insisted on the whole family moving.

Facing his parents' Doubt, Feeney hesitated repeatedly, and finally gritted his teeth and began to explain, "New York will be very dangerous in the future, and that place will be very safe for a long time!"

Feeney's father, Eli, thought Feeney meant he was worried about them being old and said with a smile, "You brat, you weren't even born when we came to live in New York. I know New York better than you do."

Seeing this, Feeney sighed and helplessly used the now much more proficient Raggadorr's Ring. Looking at his stunned parents, he said, "Believe me, you don't necessarily know it better than I do. This world is about to become more dangerous than you can imagine."

"Also, I forgot to tell you, I'm a sorcerer!"

After so many years together, Feeney was 100% sure that his parents wouldn't have any reservations about his identity as a sorcerer, or think he was a Monster or anything.

That's why he told them frankly and directly, without needing to weave any well-intentioned lies.

"When did you learn this?" Eli looked foolishly at the Raggadorr's Ring in Feeney's hand and reached out to touch it, but Feeney dodged.

"In the last year or so. Skye knows too," Feeney said after thinking for a moment. Anyway, as long as they believed him, there was no need to explain too clearly. And he had indeed only started learning magic last year.

Eli and Vera turned to look at Skye, who was also somewhat slow to react. They opened their mouths, suddenly seeming unsure of what to say.

"But what does this have to do with danger?"

Eli asked sternly. As a Lawyer, he often grasped the key points in the details. He was somewhat worried that these dangers might be related to Feeney.

"Do you believe in aliens?"

Feeney heard the meaning behind his father's words and explained, "The duty of sorcerers is to protect Earth from invasion. There are many beings in outer space who have long coveted Earth."

"In the coming years, they are likely to make some moves. The place I'm asking you to go to is a Sanctum established by sorcerers. If there's any danger, they will protect you."

"What about you?"

Upon hearing this, Feeney's mother's first concern was not for herself, but for him. She asked nervously, "Are you going to resist those aliens too? Will it be dangerous? Do we need to notify the army?"

"Don't worry, I'm actually quite strong. As for the country, there should be corresponding organizations," Feeney reassured them with a smile, then replied, "If necessary, I will definitely have to go. If Earth is gone, we'll all be finished."

At the very least, if the matter of Dormammu could be prevented, Feeney would certainly not let him descend. At the very least, he wouldn't place all his hope on 'negotiating terms'.

Although Feeney spoke lightly, his parents couldn't help but feel a wave of worry. However, they finally agreed to the move. Afterward, they meticulously questioned him about Kamar-Taj.

Having resolved the safety issue for his parents, Feeney finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had a fairly good relationship with Master Daniel of the New York Sanctum and had specifically mentioned to him that his parents might be moving.

As the youngest sorcerer in Kamar-Taj, the Sorcerer Breeder, and Ancient One's most favored disciple, these identities were enough to earn him respect from many sorcerers.

There was a reason why Feeney was so eager to resolve his parents' situation. Although his strength seemed to have grown rapidly over the past year, he was still far, far from being a match for big shots like Dormammu, Thanos, and Ego.

Not to mention the Hulk and Thor, he wasn't even entirely sure he could defeat the soon-to-debut Iron Man.

Therefore, Feeney needed to improve his Strength, and Combat was the best method. After Iron Man debuted, Earth would no longer lack enemies. So, he had to resolve his worries to be able to focus wholeheartedly on improving.

Actually, to be precise, in the past year at Kamar-Taj, Feeney's greatest improvement wasn't in 'Possessed by Evil Spirit', but in the rarely used 'Golden Great Deduction Technique'.

What restricted the effect of the 'Golden Great Deduction Technique' was the Sanctum that prevented Earth from being invaded, meaning the power of the sorcerers.

After Feeney became a sorcerer, he deeply understood this power. It was like studying the enemy. While he might not necessarily surpass the enemy, he could understand how to defeat them better.

The 'Golden Great Deduction Technique' was like this. Although he hadn't practiced it desperately, once he understood how the sorcerers' power hindered its effect, it naturally improved.

Although Ancient One had warned him that the power of the 'Golden Great Deduction Technique' was very dangerous, she had actually never restricted Feeney from using it. On the contrary, she had even helped him once.

However, the deeper his understanding of the 'Golden Great Deduction Technique' became, the more he understood Ancient One's words back then.

"Magic that changes reality according to one's Idea." This was indeed a terrifying power. Perhaps as Feeney grew stronger in the future, a mere lapse in concentration could lead to various consequences.
