The positions of Kamar-Taj and Sorcerer Supreme have been clear from the beginning.

Unless Atlantis plans to blow up the earth, expecting the Ancient One to take the initiative to help is just a dream.

They have never put secular society in their eyes. If not, Chitauri's fleet would never be able to invade New York.

The moment the portal opens, Sorcerer Supreme can happily send off the vanguard sent by Thanos.

As for Loki's plot and tricks, in front of the Ancient One who has read the official spoilers, they look like a clumsy trick full of flaws.

"Ancient One, I visited Sanctum today just to show you how a huge, well-prepared organization can cope with severe crises."

Luke walked to the round window and said confidently.

Sanctum has a series of protective measures to ensure internal safety.

Such as magic spells and magic traps, specially used to guard against possible intruders.

In addition, this building also has an ultimate seal, which is the circular window with four streamlines in front of Luke!

It is called "World Window" and is a powerful seal imposed by Vishanti.

It is very strong and can protect Sanctum from the ravages of supernatural forces and dark creatures.

Therefore, Sorcerer Supreme often stands here and observes the changes in the world.

"Mr. Major General, do you still want to convince me that as long as you prepare in advance, you can nip all crises in the bud?"

The Ancient One shook his head and smiled, obviously not thinking that Luke could do this.

In addition to having a strong body, a mage must also have a firm will.

Otherwise, the cost of casting the spell and the attraction of Dark Dimension will drag them into the boundless abyss sooner or later.

As the strongest among the mages, how could the Ancient One be easily persuaded and change his mind.

"I have held Eye of Agamotto for so many years. I have witnessed the changes in this world, traveled through time and space, and experienced countless terrible wars."

She spoke calmly, but her tone showed extremely strong confidence.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, Asgard and Dark Elves competed for the throne of power of co-owner Nine Realms."

"Thousands of years ago, Odin and his daughter Hela sounded the war horn and jointly led Valkyrie Legion to expand territory and conquer all realms."

"Looking back a little, the decisive battle between Asgardians and Frost Giants started at Tønsberg in Norway."

"..."

The Ancient One, who stopped in front of "World Window", looked at Luke who kept his smile unchanged, and said softly, "This is why I am indifferent to the world war and Atlantis."

"A long time will wear away a person's inner emotions. For me, life is like an endless cage with no end in sight, locking me in it."

The Ancient One sighed, his words revealing a sense of world-weariness.

Like an older social worker who works overtime all year round and is eager to retire.

No wonder later, she hurriedly transferred Sorcerer Supreme's seat to Doctor Strange Strange.

Then he left the earth through astral projection and ran to find the boss Eternity, one of Cosmic Entities.

"The rich experience that exists deep in my memory tells me that it is impossible to nip the buds of all dangers before they happen. When you eliminate a variable, it is likely to trigger a worse backlash."

The Ancient One finally concluded.

She doesn't agree with Luke's theory.

And see through the other person's true thoughts.

If we can unite Kamar-Taj, we can deepen our connection with the world.

Even go a step further and let Three Sanctuaries and S.H.I.E.L.D. led by Luke cooperate.

Then, the status of this young major general will be consolidated again.

To put it bluntly, Luke wants to seize power and tie the mage camp tightly to the chariot.

The Ancient One, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, does not reject this approach.

But she won't accept it without a good reason.

"There is no absolute truth in the world."

Regarding Sorcerer Supreme's denial, Luke was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "I would like to invite Ancient One to watch a wonderful performance to verify my theory."

"About this war at Atlantis?"

The Ancient One asked with a frown.

"Aren't you going to participate?"

Without the top combat power of Superman, Land World may have little chance of winning in the face of the gradual landing of Atlantis.

"At least there is no need for me to appear until the show is over."

Luke replied meaningfully.

He has prepared everything.

"Mr. Major General, you seem to be very confident. I have to admit, this has aroused my strong interest in the direction of this war."

A trace of doubt arose in the Ancient One's eyes. Ever since Luke created so many branches of time, the world has become even more strange and novel to her.

But even if it is difficult to peek into the future changes, if you think about it carefully, if Superman had not played, Atlantis would have won without any suspense.

"So, want to make a bet?"

Luke raised the corners of his mouth, like a croupier in a casino, and said with a bewitching tone, "I promise that I will never take action until Namor is so angry and ready to die together."

"What's the stakes?"

The Ancient One asked with interest.

"Opportunities to learn."

Luke said with a sincere face, "Actually, I have always had a dream in my heart to become a mage."

The Ancient One laughed dumbly. She took two steps back and looked at the other person carefully several times.

"Just from a physical perspective, you have the basic qualities of a mage."

Hearing this sentence, Luke felt a strong desire to complain.

Why is the basic quality of a mage judged by whether he is physically strong or not?

Are they really all berserkers?

"As for the affinity with natural elements and the talent for magic..."

The Ancient One paused and showed a strange expression.

"When you were wandering around the door of New York Sanctum, I didn't take the initiative to see you, because you were a blank sheet of paper at that time, and your absorption of natural energy and magic elements was almost zero."

"To put it bluntly, you are completely unsuitable as a mage. But -"

"I have seen many geniuses, including those with extraordinary talents like Merlin. Now you can undoubtedly become one of them."

"To be honest, if I didn't have a better candidate, I might choose you as the next Sorcerer Supreme's Inheritors."

Luke is a little surprised. Magic Superman's template is so powerful?

From a useless rookie to a magic genius?

But let's forget about taking over Sorcerer Supreme's seat.

You know, every once in a while, the trinity Vishanti will hold a Sorcerer Supreme Tournament.

To put it simply, it's a battle royale game.

Lock all the combatants in a small space and compete with each other's IQ and personal strength. There are no restrictions on the use of props and contracts.

The person who can persist to the end without being eliminated will win the honorary title of Sorcerer Supreme.

This is a very lively event in multiple dimensions!

Later, the Ancient One won the title of Sorcerer Supreme Tournament for the 22nd consecutive time, which made the devils and demons of Hell Dimension too lazy to take the time to open the market and place bets.

Over time, this multi-dimensional "World Cup" has become less popular.

Luke knows very well that Marvel World has to pay a price for casting spells, but Sorcerer Supreme is still unavoidable.

What are the consequences of borrowing money from usury?

He doesn't want to have a bunch of Dimensional Demon God come to collect debts every day.

Doctor Strange Strange Why is it called "Master of Kidney Deficiency"?

Because he loses strength at every turn.

When he is strong, he can rival the Ancient One, but when he is weak, he cannot even defeat the devil.

Moreover, long-term use of magic caused Strange to suffer from severe gastric ulcers, kidney stones and other diseases.

Although he is an excellent doctor, he still has no solution for the stubborn diseases caused by magic.

"Haha, how could I take on such a big responsibility if I am so virtuous and capable?"

Luke tactfully said that he didn't want to do this job, so it would be better to let Doctor Strange, who is more dedicated, take up the job.

"Well, you really have no interest in Sorcerer Supreme."

The Ancient One is a bit regretful.

If this young major general could be less eager for power and pursue strength, he would definitely become a qualified Sorcerer Supreme.

Alas, it seems that the time for retirement will still be postponed.

"If you want to enter Kamar-Taj to learn knowledge, no problem! The magic door is always open and no one will be turned away."

The Ancient One nodded.

"Next, Mr. Major General, what kind of wonderful performance are you going to let me enjoy?"

ps: Thanks to [Ye Zi Bo Tao] and [20171017] for the 100-point reward, show your appreciation~

ps2: I have been working overtime recently and am quite busy. I am trying to adjust the update time, sorry.
