Dad's Gonna Suffer, She Got Anxious

In the Mirror Dimension, on a floating open space.

The bald, old nun, her robes stained with blood, Lin Hao admitted he was the one who did it.

After quickly creating distance, Lin Hao stood ready, not rashly charging forward. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but his intuition told him the bald, old nun wouldn't be that simple.

In the movies, this guy actually got sneak-attacked, stabbed, and then fell out of a building to his death. It was like a joke, completely disrespecting his status as a universe-level powerhouse, wasn't it?

Seeing Lin Hao didn't fall for it, Ancient One felt a bit disappointed. The power from the Dark Dimension quickly enveloped her entire body, and her wounds vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Heh, now that's more like it!" Lin Hao sneered.

"You are too dangerous!"

Ancient One stared at Lin Hao, reiterating her point: "The S.P.E.A.R. having you will only bring disaster to Earth and humanity."

"Disaster to your daddy America, you mean?"

Lin Hao mercilessly exposed her, questioning, "You should know what nationality the Ancient Ones from other universes are, right?"

"I am a person of Earth, the Sorcerer Supreme!"

Ancient One sternly emphasized her identity.

"Guarding Earth and protecting humanity from other dimensions is my duty."

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be such a great internationalist!"

Lin Hao sarcastically retorted with an exaggerated expression: "But don't you know that true internationalists were destroyed by your fathers a hundred years ago?"

"Since you've placed your stance at the height of all humanity, why are you stopping me today? Am I not a person of Earth? Haven't you always stayed out of Earth's internal conflicts?"

"What? Just because the winner isn't your daddy, you're throwing a fit?"

"If the Ancient Ones from other universes saw this, wouldn't they be ashamed?"

Faced with Lin Hao's mockery, Ancient One was speechless.

She had been paying attention to Lin Hao for a long time, personally witnessing him continuously strengthening the S.P.E.A.R.'s foundation. She had initially adhered to the rules and refrained from interfering because she hadn't seen Lin Hao do anything out of line in the timeline.

It wasn't until this time, when she glimpsed a hazy future by peering into the timeline, that she was horrified and changed her expression, which is why she stepped out to stop Lin Hao.

Perhaps due to Little Devil, Lin Hao's heavenly secrets were obscured, causing Ancient One to be unable to see his karma over the past years.

It wasn't until the outbreak of this final battle that America was likely heading towards a dangerous future, which allowed the old nun to see a hazy glimpse of the future.

"Mr. Lin Hao, since you like other universes, why don't I send you there?" Ancient One had made up her mind.

For her father, and for the values she steadfastly upheld, Ancient One didn't mind breaking the Sorcerer Supreme's code of conduct.

This bald, old nun even dared to draw power from the Dark Dimension to prolong her life, showing she was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Her steadfast values could be seen from her skin color and appearance, just like Nick Fury.

As long as people on Earth stayed put, even when facing alien invaders, they, the superheroes and the Sorcerer Supreme, would come out and drive them away.

After success, they could enjoy the cheers and admiration of ordinary people. As for the innocent victims, they were caused by aliens, so what did it have to do with them?

The advanced technology and powerful magic they possessed were only used to increase the strength of the "protectors" and engage in passive defense, never thinking of improving humanity's overall strength to launch active offense.

The outside world was too dangerous and not suitable for you.

When something happened, ordinary people just needed to wait patiently for the savior to arrive, and not always think about striving for self-improvement.

How easy, how pleasant?

This was a conflict of ideologies, irreconcilable.

Hearing this, Lin Hao became solemn and immediately became extremely cautious.

The bald, old nun was really going to do it!

Just then, another golden halo suddenly appeared beside Lin Hao. After using his Kenbunshoku Haki to foresee the future, Lin Hao didn't dodge.

Zheng Xian led the way out, followed by an elderly person in a Taoist robe, with Sabre standing beside him.

As soon as the three walked out, Sabre immediately threw the "Spear of Imhotep" in his hand to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao flashed and caught it, his heart greatly reassured.

The Holy Spear, which had only appeared golden due to its material, now shone brilliantly and radiated golden light when it fell into Lin Hao's hands.

Compared to last time in Wakanda, the golden light emitted by the Holy Spear was even stronger this time.

Seeing this golden light, Ancient One was filled with surprise and uncertainty: "How can he make the Holy Spear emit such strong divinity?"

"Because Imhotep was a person of Earth!"

Zheng Xian, as if seeing through Ancient One's confusion, explained to her: "Unlike the alien gods you believe in, he is a true person of Earth, a person of Earth who was revered as a god by the world for his merits in resisting alien invaders!"

"Clearly, Imhotep's philosophy is different from your passive defense ideas. His consciousness, which has remained to this day, favors Lin Hao's thoughts."

"Therefore, Lin Hao can ignite the divinity of the Holy Spear."

The bald, old nun's face darkened. She glanced at the Holy Spear again, then carefully observed the unremarkable old Taoist behind Zheng Xian. She actually turned and walked into the newly opened golden halo.

Lin Hao, holding the Holy Spear, was filled with killing intent. He looked at Zheng Xian: "Boss, let's chase after her and take Kamar-Taj! We'll strip the old nun and send her to your room."

Being dragged into a trap for no reason, how could Director Lin not be angry?

Zheng Xian glared at him: "Although she is the weakest Ancient One in the multiverse, no one in our universe can replace her for now. We can only rely on her to hold off the dimensional demons first."

Lin Hao glanced at the old Taoist behind him, his gaze meaningful, his face full of disbelief.

It seemed that Director Zheng, like Director Hei, could summon external aid with a single shout, and it might not even be aid from this universe.

"Those who play with time will be played by time," Zheng Xian glared at Lin Hao.

"Our people don't have high magical aptitude, not like her."

Zheng Xian, in a rare moment of teasing Lin Hao, said, "If you could learn magic, we might consider creating a new Kamar-Taj."

"Don't bring that up, or I'll still respect you as my boss!" Lin Hao's expression changed immediately.

This was undoubtedly the biggest setback Lin Hao had faced since his rise to prominence. He had tried to learn the magic preserved by S.P.E.A.R., but unfortunately, there was no reaction at all.

Whether it was dark or light magic, it showed no interest in him.

Those dimensional overlords were like stingy misers, unwilling to lend even a single strand of power to Lin Hao.

"The little girl you adopted eight years ago has strong magical talent. If you really create a new Kamar-Taj in the future, she can take over as the Sorcerer Supreme," Zheng Xian added, knowing Lin Hao was like a donkey that needed stroking.

"She's almost an adult. I'll send her to you then."

"Alright, I have another big show to put on here. Send me back first," Lin Hao said, holding the Holy Spear in his hand with a grin. "Let me borrow it for a bit. I'm afraid that old nun will come back."

"The higher-ups have spoken. The item will be kept with you for now," Zheng Xian reminded him. "Don't you dare lose it!"

It was rare for the S.P.E.A.R. system to have someone who could unleash the divinity of the Holy Spear. Naturally, they had to make the most of it. Moreover, Lin Hao himself was exceptionally strong. With the Holy Spear in hand, even the Ancient One was helpless, so there was no need to worry about it being stolen.

If Lin Hao were to throw the Holy Spear into the dimensional space opened by Little Devil, even Imhotep would be stumped.

After a delay, Lin Hao reappeared above the White House. He recalled the black videotape, inserted it into the VCR, and Sadako, clad in red, appeared.

"Let's go, I'll take you to perform a play," Lin Hao said, possessing Sadako.

The sun was high in the sky, and countless tourists crowded the streets of Washington, shouting incessantly.

The American army was on high alert.

Suddenly, a red figure appeared on a relatively empty street behind the crowd and began walking towards the White House.

The female version of the Ancient One is quite disgusting to both fans and non-fans of Chinese culture, so she was set up this way.

When Marvel filmed "Doctor Strange," they wouldn't portray the powerful Chinese Ancient One from the comics. Otherwise, the North American market, their largest box office, might not buy it, leading to huge losses, right?

Anyway, this Ancient One is just a tool to pass on power to Strange. It's fine to portray her like this.
