Besides, once magical artifacts were made, where to store them was another troublesome problem.
It would be great if he could make a storage bag that he could carry around at any time.
Something like Doraemon's Treasure Bag.
Thinking this, Zhang Yang put away Gungnir, the Tesseract, and the magic books.
He paid absolutely no attention to Berkeley's stunned gaze and utterly despairing expression.
Brother!
Wake up!
That was Gungnir!
The magical artifact of Odin, the Allfather! And you actually disliked it?!
Berkeley was dumbfounded.
Odin probably never would have imagined that the battle spear that had once followed him across countless battlefields and frightened off innumerable demons and monsters would one day be scorned by someone.
At that moment, Berkeley truly wanted to cry but had no tears.
Even now, no magical artifact was willing to follow him, so he could only use magical energy to create artifacts.
Yet Zhang Yang, even with Gungnir, still wanted to make his own magical artifacts.
The drought-stricken died of thirst while the flooded drowned.
Infuriating!
After leaving the dormitory, Zhang Yang had originally planned to visit the Kamar-Taj Library and look into Alchemy.
Then he suddenly remembered that The Ancient One had told him to come see her later.
Zhang Yang decided to visit the Sanctum first.
Inside the Ancient One's Sanctum.
The Ancient One sat at a tea table, with two cups of tea placed on it.
"Sorcerer Supreme." Upon entering the Sanctum, Zhang Yang greeted The Ancient One first.
"Mm." Seeing Zhang Yang, The Ancient One responded and took a sip from the tea beside her.
For some reason, Zhang Yang felt that The Ancient One seemed to be in a very good mood, as though she was not angry about the trouble he had caused.
That struck Zhang Yang as strange, but he was not stupid enough to bring it up.
"Sit." The Ancient One gestured toward the seat across from her.
Zhang Yang nodded and sat down.
"Do you know what that cube-shaped object you obtained today is?" The Ancient One asked Zhang Yang once he was seated.
Zhang Yang nodded. "The Tesseract."
"That's right." The Ancient One looked at Zhang Yang and explained, "At the beginning of the Universe, the cosmic gods transformed six singularities containing inexhaustible energy into six Infinity Stones. These Stones respectively govern the six fundamental attributes of space, time, reality, power, mind, and soul. The Tesseract you obtained today contains the Space Stone."
Zhang Yang looked at The Ancient One and listened carefully to her explanation.
The Ancient One continued without pause. "Every Stone is extraordinarily powerful. The Space Stone possesses Spatial Power. If its user masters all of its power, they can travel freely through the Multiverse, even the Megaverse. Naturally, they can also make anything, including planets, travel through space and time. They can even warp space and time itself according to their will."
The Ancient One was analyzing the power of the Space Gem for Zhang Yang.
This prompted a thought in Zhang Yang's mind. "Then, Master, if one could control the power of space, could one create a storage space?"
A storage space?
That was an interesting idea.
The Ancient One chuckled. "Possibly. But the Space Stone's power is not so easy to master. Within it is a complex and vast energy system. You can think of it as a fusion of science and sorcery."
Zhang Yang nodded, frowning as though he were considering something.
The Ancient One continued, "In fact, after studying sorcery for so many years, I have always believed that science and magic share common ground. You can regard magical incantations as programs or formulas. But of course, you need to use this to understand those formulas."
The Ancient One tapped her own head with a finger.
Seeing Zhang Yang's furrowed brow and silence,
The Ancient One picked up the small fan she carried with her and said, "Although you have good comprehension, the things you grasped before were merely basic magic. It is normal for you to understand cosmic-level spatial energy like the Tesseract more slowly."
"I saw you use the Tesseract today. While I was surprised that you could use it, your understanding of the Tesseract is far too limited. Using it rashly may harm you. You need to think it through carefully. Only by using it properly can you avoid being hurt and make better use of it."
"You can gradually gain insight from Kamar-Taj's Teleportation Magic. First learn the Mirror Dimension, then study the Tesseract. The meaning of magic is to follow the laws, and thereby make use of them."
The Ancient One explained patiently.
As for Mirror Dimension Magic, The Ancient One had already taught it to Zhang Yang that morning.
In truth, it was also a type of spatial power.
It was just that Zhang Yang had not yet had the chance to think over it carefully.
"Sorcerer Supreme, perhaps I should go back and think about it first," Zhang Yang said seriously.
Indeed, compared to simple basic magic, this kind of advanced magic was far more difficult.
"Believe in yourself." The Ancient One smiled at Zhang Yang. She picked up a cup of tea from the table and was about to drink when she seemed to remember something and said to him,
"Would you like some tea? Chrysanthemum tea. It clears heat and reduces internal fire."
"..." Zhang Yang said, "N-No, thanks..."
For some reason, the moment he saw that chrysanthemum tea,
Zhang Yang thought of Thor's butt. He wondered what Thor's reaction would be if he woke up and discovered what had happened to it...
Zhang Yang was lost in thought.
Just then, an enraged roar suddenly echoed through Kamar-Taj.
The Ancient One smiled faintly. "Looks like he's awake. Come, let's go take a look."
"What exactly did you do to me?! You mortals of Kamar-Taj! You ignorant savages!"
In the dead of night, a pig-slaughtering scream rang out from Kamar-Taj's guest hall.
The fury woke Mordo, who had been sleeping in the adjoining room.
Rushing over, Mordo saw that Thor had apparently regained consciousness. He lay sprawled on the bed, radiating rage!
"You shouldn't move around. Your wound will split open," Mordo hurriedly soothed Thor.
Thor was Odin's son, after all. His status was extraordinary.
Kamar-Taj could not afford to offend such an arrogant prince.
But Thor did not seem to appreciate it.
A man like Thor, accustomed to fighting on battlefields, normally did not care much about injuries.
Even with a bandage wrapped around him, he could continue fighting.
But the problem now was that Thor could tell the location of this injury was particularly... strange.
Not only did it leave Thor unable to exert strength, every movement hurt terribly.
It was the kind of pain that made every muscle in his body tense up whenever he moved.
"Remarkable. You woke up after just one night?" Before Thor could speak, Mordo said again.
As expected of an Asgardian, his constitution was truly incredible.
Such severe injuries, yet he had awakened after being unconscious for less than a day. It was astonishing.
"So can you explain to me why my wound is on my butt?!" Thor glared furiously at Mordo. Although he could not move now, he could clearly feel the pain coming from the injured area.
Thor genuinely could not understand it.
Why was his wound actually on his butt?
What had he even gone through? Why had his butt disappeared after one sleep?
"This... perhaps you should be glad your wound isn't in the front," Mordo said awkwardly.
"Oh, I think I should use my hammer to flatten this barbaric place of yours..." Thor roared in fury.
He reached out, seemingly intending to summon Mjolnir. Yet after waiting for a long time, his hammer did not fly into his hand as it normally did.
Thor froze, then roared at Mordo, "Where is my hammer?! Shit, where did you put my hammer?!"
"Here." Sensing Thor's rage, Mordo helplessly pointed at the floor.
At that moment, the once-majestic hammer had become a pile of scrap metal scattered across the floor.
Only the hammer's handle remained intact.
"How is that possible?!" Thor was shocked when he saw the pile of scrap metal on the ground.
He cried out, picked up the handle from the floor, took one look at it, and went still.
His hammer had actually... shattered?!
Thor was utterly bewildered.
He clearly remembered that after learning the Tesseract had been stolen, he had asked Heimdall to investigate.
After discovering that Kamar-Taj's magic had taken it, he had traveled to Kamar-Taj alone.
When he saw that he was about to arrive while crossing the Bifrost, Thor had wanted to use Mjolnir to intimidate the people of Kamar-Taj first, so he threw his hammer out of the Bifrost.
But before long, he was shocked to discover that his hammer had flown back—and was speeding directly toward him.
Thor had prepared to dodge, but the instant he turned around, he felt a sharp pain behind him. It was as though his butt had been struck by lightning. Then the hammer knocked him unconscious and sent him crashing to the ground.
Wait, struck by lightning!
Could it be?!
Thor suddenly understood. The intense lightning energy he had sensed before passing out had come from Mjolnir exploding on his butt?!
No wonder the wound on Thor's butt was not only painful but numb, as though he had been electrocuted!
These beasts!
"You're awake?" Just as Thor was raging, a gentle voice sounded beside him.
Thor looked up and saw a bald woman walking toward him.
Two people followed behind the bald woman.
Thor would never forget those two, even in death!
One was named Wong, and the other was Zhang Yang!
During the Battle of New York, those two had used some strange ability to make Thor run down the street carrying his hammer while shouting, "I want to find my mother! Mother! Thor is so scared!"
Someone had even recorded it and uploaded it online.
Thor was now practically the biggest celebrity on the internet.
His nickname was Crazy Hammer Bro!
"It's you two! So you're people from Kamar-Taj!" Seeing Wong and Zhang Yang, Thor flew into a rage.
"Looks like none of you Kamar-Taj people are any good! During the last Battle of New York, you took Hulk away. This time, you stole the Tesseract from Asgard! You've gone too far!"
