Luke, who returned home with a full load, opened a transmission channel and arrived at Kamar-Taj.
Before leaving Universe-1024, he entrusted S.H.I.E.L.D. to Sorcerer Supreme.
Although, according to the Ancient One's salty personality, she may not always be like a nanny to keep an eye on and deal with problems.
But if you want to know what happened during the time you left, Sorcerer Supreme is the most suitable person to contact.
The other end of the portal happened to be the open space of Kamar-Taj.
At this time, a group of new apprentices stood in several rows in twos and threes.
Under the leadership of the mage, they learned how to use Sling Ring to open the portal.
"Old Wang, long time no see."
Luke Seeing the chubby Wang with a serious face, he smiled and said hello.
The other person was holding a stack of books and seemed to have just come out of the library.
Unlike the universe where he became Sorcerer Supreme, the king of this world is still very young.
His face was not so round, and he was unsmiling, as if someone owed him money and hadn't paid him back.
"Who are you? Don't you know that Kamar-Taj is not allowed to drink alcohol at will!?"
Young Master Wong saw that Luke was dressed differently from many mages in Kamar-Taj, and he was supporting a woman smelling of alcohol with his right hand.
He couldn't help but frown, and with that round face, he wanted to yell at such behavior.
Kamar-Taj does have status classes, such as Sorcerer Supreme, and then his direct disciple, the manager of Three Sanctuaries... and so on.
But the atmosphere this time around has changed.
Because the Ancient One has never paid much attention to rules, she advocates speaking freely and freedom first.
This has greatly lowered Kamar-Taj's income threshold and greatly increased the number of apprentices.
Of course, it will also bring other problems.
For example, going astray and being tempted by Dark Dimension.
Not everyone can control themselves in the face of power.
Young little Master Wong belongs to that type of people who are relatively conservative and value rules.
He did not become presumptuous because of Sorcerer Supreme's tolerance.
"I forgot, you are not that hotpot Old Wang."
Luke raised an eyebrow, and he equated Old Wang in the Sorcerer Supreme universe with hot pot.
There is no other reason, just because the other party's dipping sauce is so good.
During those days when I was working for Stephen-Strange, eating hot pot and simmering meat, and then supervising Doctor Strange to do exercises were my biggest expectations every day.
"Is the Ancient One here?"
Luke ignored little Master Wong's surprised look and asked directly.
He glanced left and right, but did not feel Sorcerer Supreme's aura.
As the top expert among Nine Realms, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Odin.
The Ancient One should be like a bright torch shining in the eyes of Luke.
"It's Mr. Cahill here. Long time no see. You are still as charming as ever."
Before little Master Wong could scold Luke for his arrogance, Hamir Shi Shiran came over with a broken arm.
He knew Superman, and he knew the importance better than Xiao Wang, a stupid young man, so he came over immediately.
Hamir wears clothes similar to Daoist robes, and his words and deeds are quite ancient. He is a friendly elder who has practiced in Kamar-Taj for many years.
"King, this is Superman, War Hero who is respected by the world, and Kamar-Taj's always welcome guest. You should show your respect."
Hamir glanced at little Master Wong and signaled the other party to step back.
Then he stretched out his hand and invited Luke to enter the central hall.
The celestial copper ball was constantly rotating, and its surface glowed like lava.
If you look closely, there are many signposts and areas marked.
Logically speaking, Kamar-Taj should not allow outsiders to enter such an important place without permission.
But the relationship between Luke and the Ancient One is not simple. Hamir has heard of the gossip.
Most of them are spread from the devils in hell or the corners of the dark world.
Similar to "The Secret Affair of Sorcerer Supreme and Superman", there are more than a dozen versions, with various tastes, suitable for all ages.
Of course, Hamir would not believe those unfounded rumors.
He just noticed that Sorcerer Supreme's attitude towards Luke was indeed somewhat different.
The secret contact between Three Sanctuaries and S.H.I.E.L.D., and the quiet establishment of Magical Congress.
In the past, no matter how dare the Ancient One dared to challenge the rules, he would not have attempted such a huge change.
"Sorcerer Supreme went to the outer dimension not long ago. It seems there is something urgent."
Hamir said unhurriedly.
"But before she left, she specifically asked Three Sanctuaries to pay attention to S.H.I.E.L.D. and beware of possible trouble."
Luke nodded slightly and said seriously, "Thank you for your hard work, Master."
As expected, the Ancient One lived up to his reputation as a master fisherman and left everything to others.
"Extra dimensions?"
Luke was moved in his heart and continued to ask, "Is there any crisis?"
Sorcerer Supreme has always been responsible for the safety and order of this universe, how could he skip work without saying anything.
As a veteran who has jumped out of Single Universe Box and even traveled across the multiverse, Luke naturally knows where the outer dimension is.
Sorcerer Supreme has had business trips before, but that was limited to the dimensional world of this universe.
For example, dimensional spaces like hell, border, Dark Dimension.
Extra dimensions usually refer to a strange world that exists in another box outside the universe.
"Sorcerer Supreme didn't say it clearly, but she mentioned it vaguely. Mr. Cahill, you will meet her soon."
Hamir smiled slightly and said frankly.
Luke thought for a moment and had a guess, but couldn't be sure.
"How has S.H.I.E.L.D. been operating over the years?"
He did not dwell on the riddle given by Sorcerer Supreme and got to the point.
"Everything is fine and calm."
Hamir was concise and concise. He thought for a moment and then added, "With the management of Peggy-Ms. Carter, there is nothing visible on the surface."
"But privately, some minor troubles continued, involving political struggles, power struggles, etc. Kamar-Taj was not good at dealing with these, so he did not intervene."
Having said that, the broken-arm mage used magic projection to reveal the recorded world events and turmoil.
Luke looked attentively and remained silent.
When the third pole of the world disappears, many changes will naturally occur.
Fortunately, the direction of the world has not yet been turned into a mess by his butterfly, and everything is out of control.
After the Cold War, Red Empire still disintegrated and collapsed.
A fierce conflict broke out between Leviathan and Hydra.
These two mortal enemies were eventually merged into S.H.I.E.L.D..
After entering the peaceful stage, Howard-Stark held a wedding and bid farewell to the life of a single noble.
Captain America and Winter Soldier retired together, returned to Brooklyn, and then bought a house in Long Island.
Under Luke's prepared plan, White Queen successfully promoted Mutant Registration Act.
Cahill's Academy for Gifted Youngsters officially entered the public eye and recruited a large number of new students.
Some of the most outstanding children have become prestigious youth leaders in Mutants.
For example, Charles-Xavier obtained a professor's degree and stayed at the Mutant Academy as a teacher.
There are also Erik-Lehnsherr who choose to join X-Force and travel around the world.
Compared with seniors like White Queen, Wolverine, and Sabretooth, they are more energetic and motivated.
One expresses his own opinions by attending various lectures and speeches, and making public appearances on television programs, and actively seeks further rights for his compatriots.
A Mutants who likes to show strength and seize power, and thus uses his personality charm to unite the group of Mutants who are similar to him.
"They are all your students, Mr. Cahill."
Hamir said with a smile.
So far, the bronze statue of Superman still stands in the Mutant Academy.
Every student who steps onto campus will spontaneously come to pay their respects.
This became a tradition that every freshman would observe.
Luke was so sad that he broke out from World War II and participated in the Super Soldier plan together with Captain America.
Then defeat Axis of Evil, the Aryan reinforced warrior...
Along the way, I have unknowingly stood at the top of the world.
The two young leaders of Mutants are his students.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was built by him, and Hydra was defeated and incorporated before it made waves.
Even Iron Man, who turned on Marvel Cinematic Universe and made the Afghan cave a famous check-in place for every traveler like him, has only just reached adulthood.
And his father, not only did not die at the hands of Winter Soldier's Iron Fist, he also registered the name "Iron Man" early, making Tony-Stark only the second generation.
Beyond the earth, in the universe.
Collector, Grandmaster, these two brothers who are both Cosmic Elder, have experienced the power of Superman.
Luke-Cahill, that terrible human on Earth.
As soon as he returned, he was already famous in the galaxy, and his name was Nine Realms.
After that, Ronan the Accuser of the Kree Empire was beaten to the point of paralysis by General Zod.
From then on, he will imprint this place on the earth deeply in his heart, and he will never dare to be arrogant at all.
Captain Marvel, who originally had to go through a lot of twists and turns, was brought back by Luke.
Everything is changing.
Of course, as the biggest villain, Thanos, who should appear with a sense of oppression, may not be able to punch Luke down now.
Even if he collected six Infinity Stone, put on his gloves and played the Snap.
Superman, who is already at the peak of this Single Universe, will not have any fear.
Of course, if that Mad Titan can cheat, he can get Heart of the Universe and open the door to Omniverse.
Or over time, it can become the ultimate form of Emperor Thanos.
That's a different matter.
All in all, Luke is not only standing at the top of the human world, he has even reached the end of Single Universe.
If you take another step forward, you will face existences like Cosmic Entities, Annihilation Insectoids, Living Tribunal, Beyonders, Molecule Man...
"It's been... an amazing journey."
Luke Looking back at the past, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness similar to that of an old man.
Thinking of this, he no longer has the slightest interest in Skrulls and Three Great Galactic Empires on Earth.
As for Hell's Kitchen, Avengers, street heroes, and superheroes who may appear in the future, they are even less excited.
Villain destroys the world?
With Superman here, no more conspirators or careerists will dare to risk their lives to cause trouble.
A crisis of earth destruction breaks out?
With Superman here, it is the safest and most dangerous place in the galaxy.
Even Hydra, the most dedicated evil person on the set of Marvel, chose the unimagined path of "join if you can't beat him".
The rest of the guys should go to bed early.
"Is this why I find it boring?"
Luke sighed silently in his heart.
When all stories become dull and routine;
When New York City people no longer have to worry about aliens coming and super villains appearing;
When the existence of Superman finally makes the meaning of superhero existence less important than before;
Maybe, everything should be over.
"Hamir, I handed over this drunk... female drunkard to you and told her to come to New York to meet her when she wakes up."
Luke left Captain Marvel at Kamar-Taj, he didn't want to delay any longer.
It's time to give those friends you haven't seen each other for a long time a big surprise.
"No problem, I will ask the waiter to come over and take good care of this... lady."
Hamir nodded in agreement.
After briefly recalling the past, Luke took a deep breath and opened the transmission channel to S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
Magic spark Blink, he slowly walked in.
Unsurprisingly, no one moved into his own office.
All the furnishings and furniture were in pristine condition and spotless, and must have been cleaned regularly.
Luke sat on the large seat, turned the back of the chair and looked out the window.
What comes into view is Potomac River, the artificial lake in Constitution Park, and the Lincoln Memorial...
After reliving the feeling for a moment, S.H.I.E.L.D., who had returned again, pushed the door open and walked out.
Maybe it's because it's getting darker and it's time to get off work, or maybe it's because the security system is tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
Luke didn't meet anyone, let alone strict obstruction.
He relied on facial recognition and had a smooth journey to the commander's office of Peggy-Carter.
The lights are still on.
Luke didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open gently.
Just as he imagined, the heroic female commander was working at her desk.
A few strands of blond hair hung down, covering his smooth forehead.
His steps were very light and did not alarm the other party.
Who is the most powerful human being in the world trying to get close to quietly.
Even the best agents and the best killers can't detect it.
"Peggy..."
Walking to the desk, Luke shouted in a low voice.
He looked at the other person with tender eyes, trying to see the surprise in those beautiful raised eyes.
However——
Not really!
After just a moment of shock, Peggy-Carter touched Walter PPK automatic pistol stuck under the table as quickly as possible.
Quickly pull the trigger and fire three consecutive rounds accurately at Luke.
One shot on the forehead and two on the chest.
The metal bullet that was discharged at high speed hit Luke's skin.
The deflated Negasonic Teenage Warhead fell weakly to the floor, making a crisp sound.
"Damn Skrulls! Don't even try to impersonate him!"
Peggy stared and said angrily.
While retreating, he also fired all the bullets in the pistol at once.
"Peggy, how can I... prove that I am who I am?"
Luke looked stunned and quickly understood what happened.
He was helpless because those Skrulls gang had ruined the surprise he had deliberately created.
The return welcome to Superman was neither a warm hug nor a passionate kiss.
Instead, they were cold bullets with a caliber of 7.65 mm that could not even scratch the skin and even had no feeling at all.
ps: Four thousand words, let alone short.
ps2: Also, I didn't say it was going to be unfinished, eunuch, I meant that this book has entered the final stage.
Because through my previous writing about Original Sin and Sorcerer Supreme Tournament, I found that readers are not very interested in major comics events. At least this is what the backend subscription data shows. I have said many times in the group that the peak data of this book comes from Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is the plot of Avengers: Endgame, and then Flashpoint Paradox, Watchmen, have... I don't know how to describe it. I also posted screenshots of the subscription in the group, and the difference is more than half.
Everything you do requires feedback. During the two previous updates, I stayed up until one or two o'clock, or even three o'clock every day. This is what you can see from the update time. At that time, I laughed at myself as "Netherworld Schedule".
But when the data feeds back to you when readers don't like to read it, then these efforts are meaningless.
So next, I will finish the main plot and end it well.
With that, good night.
