For thousands of years, the Ancient One has used dark energy to prolong her lifespan, but fearing that the dark energy would corrupt her personality, she used most of her power to suppress this power. For thousands of years, the Ancient One and Odin have protected the Earth, one using her power to suppress the dark power within her.
The other one was in an even worse situation, desperately suppressing his daughter with his primal power. Neither of the two Skyfather Level figures protecting Earth was able to truly unleash their full potential.
Of course, this is also what is meant by "heroes emerge in times of chaos." It is precisely because of the intertwined crises from within and without that so many extraordinary heroes have been born on this small planet.
That said, Qin Xiao completely disregarded the magical power that the Ancient One thousand years, and a single glance from him triggered the dark power within her body.
Black energy surged the Ancient One the top of the Ancient One One's head. Less than a meter above her, a faint spatial fluctuation appeared, and a small crack appeared in the distorted space, as if there were a powerful range hood on the other side. All the dark energy rushed towards this crack.
Qin Xiao could even sense that on the other side of the rift, in an unknown Dark Dimension, a powerful and terrifying dark creature coveted this world.
"Snort!"
Qin Xiao's expression changed, he snorted coldly, his right fist clenched slightly, and the Ancient One's body suddenly opened up. The black energy on his body was at least ten times more violent than before, surging upwards. At the same time, the Ancient One's body rapidly aged.
After all the dark energy had left, the Ancient One had become like a dried-up corpse, except for a faint glimmer in her eyes; otherwise, she was no different from a dead person.
" Dormammu! I don't have time for you this time. I'll find your dimension this morning and destroy your lair. As for this place, keep your covetous eyes to yourself!"
Qin Xiao waved his left hand toward the crack, instantly smoothing out the space. At the same time, all of Dormammu's followers on Earth, led by Kaecilius and who had defected from Kamar-Taj, and who were also the coordinates of its dark power, were instantly wiped out by Qin Xiao. The dark power dissipated along the crack.
Those cracks were smoothed out by Qin Xiao with a single thought, and Dormammu instantly lost his coordinates in this world, a furious roar echoing through the void.
However, none of this affected Qin Xiao anymore. After dealing with the dark energy, Qin Xiao struck out with his palm towards the Ancient One. Blue and green light flashed simultaneously on his palm. The green light directly enveloped the Ancient One's body, while the blue light isolated the Ancient One's soul.
The time manipulation was activated, and the Ancient One's body visibly returned to the state it had been in when the two had first met. Then it changed again, from being in her forties or fifties to being in her thirties, and then continued to change towards a younger appearance.
Judging from Qin Xiao's appearance, he seems intent on directly adjusting the Ancient One's body to its optimal age.
"That's enough, Qin Xiao! It's good to be young, but I can't show my face looking so immature. This is just right!"
The Ancient One spoke.
She looked to be in her early thirties, and with the Ancient One's own aura, she was both glamorous and composed, which was just right for the Ancient One at that time.
"Actually, I'm really curious about what you were like when you were sixteen or seventeen!"
Qin Xiao stopped what he was told, but chuckled and teased.
The Ancient One rolled her eyes. Whether it was because she had become younger or because she had witnessed Qin Xiao's actions, with no dark energy in her body and no longer worried about Dormammu's invasion, the Ancient One's eye roll was incredibly charming and alluring.
Qin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then awkwardly touched his nose and said...
"Don't you dare flirt with me, I have a girlfriend!"
"Roll!"
The Ancient One casually pulled a golden energy whip from the void and lashed it out at Qin Xiao.
With a crisp "crack!", a blue light automatically flashed from Qin Xiao's body, turning the Ancient One's attack into a shower of sparks. He then used his hands to hold down the twin siblings who were about to retaliate when they saw that they had been attacked.
" The Supreme The Ancient One is my elder. She's just joking with me. Don't you dare touch her!"
The twins' expressions softened as soon as Qin Xiao finished speaking.
"A decent subordinate, whose loyalty was fueled by the Infinity Stones?"
The Ancient One looked the twins up and down and immediately saw the problem with them.
"That's right, I don't know why this happens. As soon as the energy gathers, it automatically turns into this."
Qin Xiao was also somewhat helpless. Although subduing the two was a good thing, the method he used inevitably had some minor regrets.
"This isn't your fault. Just like Dormammu's dark energy, it can create fanatical loyalty in people. That's its deliberate control. No one could have predicted this. Protect this world well, and don't let down the power the universe has given you."
The Ancient One became serious.
"Judging from your tone, are you preparing to retire? There are still many things waiting for you to handle."
Qin Xiao offered a compliment.
"You are now capable of protecting this universe. If needed in the future, I will appear. After so many years of hard work, I need to quickly complete the inheritance of the title of Sorcerer Supreme and travel to various parts of the universe to see the world."
A rare look of happiness appeared on the Ancient One.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly and said nothing.
Indeed, with Qin Xiao's current strength, he is invincible in this universe. As for the enemies he will face in the future, Qin Xiao believes that the Ancient One will definitely appear when needed.
As soon as Qin Xiao emerged from Kamar-Taj, the three of them appeared before the Bifrost Temple in Asgard.
"Qin?"
The moment Qin Xiao and his companions appeared, Heimdall appeared behind them.
Heimdall, even more wary, picked up his divine sword.
The three people in front of him, especially Qin Xiao, gave Heimdall an incredibly powerful and unfamiliar feeling. Even Odin in his prime had never given Heimdall this feeling.
"Qin, you..."
Heimdall gripped his sword tightly.
There was no way around it; Heimdall's eyes could see a certain degree of the origin. In the past, when facing Odin at his peak, Heimdall felt like he was facing a galaxy, but today, facing Qin Xiao, he felt like he was facing a universe.
The overwhelming pressure emanating from the very soul left Heimdall speechless.
