Rune Stone.

It continuously absorbed the magic power from its surroundings.

As if, once charged, it would allow the mysteries of Rune Script to be witnessed once more.

However, the charging speed was extremely slow. From the Prehistoric Mythological Era until now, it had probably only just reached the threshold for use, leaving the Rune Stone covered in dust.

Chen Ji's eyes shifted.

He possessed an Alpha-Level mutant ability. Not only could he absorb energy, but he could also release it!

Then...

Could the magic power he possessed charge the Rune Stone?

No time like the present!

Chen Ji grabbed the Rune Stone and mobilized all the magic power in his body, immediately pouring it into the stone!

In an instant.

The Rune Stone shone once again.

Whirlpools of energy emerged one after another.

Chen Ji's consciousness once again appeared within a magnificent space, where countless starlights flickered, dazzling and brilliant.

Yet he did not sit and wait. His consciousness transformed into a giant hand and directly seized a rune!

Boom!

The rune immediately struggled with all its might, letting out a violent roar.

It tried to escape Chen Ji's grasp.

However.

It could never break free from his capture!

The magical rune, like a dancing sprite, appeared before Chen Ji. It radiated dazzling light and revealed a peculiar form.

Chen Ji's eyes lit up.

He actually understood the meaning of this rune mark!

'Pierce.'

'Wonder.'

'Protection.'

'Hidden vigor.'

That was right!

Every rune mark could convey a different meaning. By combining different magical runes, one could unleash unparalleled energy!

Asgard.

It was precisely through Rune Magic that it had firmly held the top position in the Nine Realms.

Odin had thus become the king of gods, his fame resounding throughout the Nine Realms. He was hailed as the ruler of the Aesir!

Asgard had been founded long before Kamar-Taj!

The First Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto, had already faded away, while Odin still ruled Asgard.

If Odin had not fallen...

Thanos would never have dared to launch the Infinity War!

Chen Ji understood well that biting off more than one could chew led nowhere.

Before long, he voluntarily withdrew from the rune space. Keeping the rune mark he had deciphered firmly in mind, he immediately sketched it onto a sheet of paper.

The next second.

The paper flashed with light.

As if it had gained unbreakable power!

Its texture became as hard as iron.

It could actually slice through the wooden table!

"Hiss."

"Rune Magic..."

"It really is inconceivable."

"A single rune mark could turn decay into something miraculous and give a sheet of paper the hardness to cut through a wooden table?"

"If I mastered every rune, wouldn't that mean I might even become Odin?"

Chen Ji secretly rejoiced.

No matter what, he had gained an unprecedented benefit!

Without Daniel Drumm's recommendation, he probably would never have discovered the Rune Stone.

This favor...

He would remember it!

If Kaecilius rebelled and Master Daniel Drumm found himself in danger, Chen Ji would absolutely not stand by and do nothing!

Chen Ji lived by one principle: repay kindness with kindness, repay grudges with grudges!

[Due to your actions, you have brought about a major turning point in Asgard's fate. Luck Value reward: 200 points.]

"200 Luck Value!"

"A major turning point in Asgard's fate?"

"What's going on?"

"I've never even been to Asgard..."

Chen Ji froze.

Could his theft of Rune Magic have already drawn the attention of the king of gods?

Or had mastering Rune Magic automatically made him one of the Aesir?

Hiss.

Chen Ji's heart jolted.

Asgard.

This was one of the most dangerous places in the universe.

There was no second!

In the not-too-distant future, it would also face four crises of extinction!

Loki's rebellion.

The Dark Elves.

Ragnarok.

And... Thanos!

The more glorious Asgard was now, the more ruined it would be in the future!

Even the surviving Asgardians would huddle on a small island in Norway and establish New Asgard.

It would directly become a tourist attraction!

Thor and the Scarlet Witch could even be tied as the most tragic male and female leads in the cinematic universe!

Both orphaned, separated from their loved ones, lonely and alone!

However...

With his accumulated Luck Value, he was only 30 points away from upgrading a Blue Entry!

[Name]: Chen Ji [Identity]: Guardian Mage [Talents]: Academic Prodigy (Blue), Grandmaster (Blue), Self-Taught (Blue), Fortune After Misfortune (Blue), Crowd Favorite (Blue), X-Factor (Purple), Half a Move Ahead of Heaven (Black), Covetous Burden (Black). [Luck Value]: 975.9

Killing just one creature at the level of an Intermediate Aberration.

Would be enough!

Chen Ji forcefully suppressed his urge to draw a prize.

He shifted his gaze toward the entries.

[Academic Prodigy], [Grandmaster], [Self-Taught], [Fortune After Misfortune], [Crowd Favorite].

They were all Blue Entries.

So, which entry should he upgrade?

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

I've chosen you!

[Self-Taught]!

[Self-Taught] (Blue): You possess astonishing talent in the mystic arts. No matter what secret art it is, you can understand it as easily as reading lines on your palm, and you may even receive instruction from spiritual beings.

A Blue Entry only took effect in the field of mystic arts.

If it were upgraded into a Purple Entry, wouldn't it be able to apply to the field of runes?

Chen Ji's heart raced.

He could hardly wait.

But at that moment.

A low, mournful, drawn-out shriek suddenly rang out!

It spread through every corner of the New York Sanctum!

Dusk fell outside the windows.

A blood-red setting sun blanketed the earth.

In an instant.

All the Guardian Mages left their rooms and gathered in the main hall of the New York Sanctum!

Naturally, Chen Ji was not absent. He moved far faster than the other Guardian Mages.

Because... the sounding of Vishnu's Conch.

Represented the appearance of a spiritual being!

The greater the disturbance caused by the conch, the stronger the spiritual being was!

This was the first time he had heard Vishnu's Conch!

"Drumm!"

"I haven't heard that sound in a long time!"

"Take a look at the Cosmic Cauldron."

"Find out where the spiritual being appeared."

The bearded mage Doran wore a grave expression.

He was not as rough as he looked.

If the appearance of a spiritual being was not dealt with in time, it would surely bring disaster and catastrophe upon reality!

Even weapons of mass destruction might not be able to restrain a spiritual being.

Because the two did not belong to the same system at all!

Only magic could defeat magic!

Naturally, Chen Ji understood that as well!

"Move aside!"

Master Drumm urged sharply.

Then Sally Valence was startled and instinctively took several steps back.

The pitch-black cauldron beside her immediately drifted down.

As Daniel Drumm infused it with magic power, twisted traces of space appeared at the bottom of the cauldron, instantly revealing an image of the spiritual being!

"Move out!"

"We absolutely cannot let the spiritual being devour living creatures!"

A cold glint flashed through Daniel Drumm's eyes.

He immediately opened a Mystic Portal.

Leading the Guardian Mages through it.

In an instant.

A thunderous roar, like that of wolves and tigers, rang in their ears.

In a remote town.

A massive, burly beast could be seen ahead, wielding a sickle. Its entire body was covered in stitch marks, and foul-smelling pus occasionally flowed from its chest as it slaughtered everything in its path!

The monster's appearance made one's blood run cold!

It looked as though it had been pieced together from countless corpses.

There were humans among them, as well as animals!

Faint, agonized whispers could be heard.

They struck straight at the depths of the soul!

"How is this possible?!"

"A Stitch Monster?"

"An evil wizard must be controlling this Stitch Monster from behind the scenes!"

David Simmons saw the key at once!

A Stitch Monster.

How could it stitch itself together?

The answer was obvious!

This had to be the work of some evil wizard!

Perhaps the true mastermind behind it was even a Demon Lord!

A new author seeking support. Thank you, dear readers! Love you all!
