"Oh? How so?"
Ancient One raised an eyebrow and spoke in fluent Chinese.
"Haha! Sorcerer Supreme's Chinese is very authentic!"
Michael rarely heard his familiar hometown accent and immediately burst out laughing.
Regardless of whether Ancient One truly had Chinese blood, at least, having lived for centuries, she truly mastered many languages!
Hmm..., when I copy and manifest Ancient One's abilities later, I'll copy this old guy's language abilities too!
Michael thought silently to himself.
At the very least, the universal language of the Marvel Universe must be copied! Michael never believed that everyone in the entire Universe spoke English!
Michael decided to show himself and meet the Ancient One, but it wasn't just to display his strength; Michael naturally also coveted the Ancient One's vast knowledge!
Although Michael didn't think highly of the Vishanti's magic, in terms of Space magic and Time Magic, they indeed had their strengths.
By analogy, it was enough to bring Michael sufficient enlightenment and improve his magic!
"Why does the Sorcerer Supreme ask when she already knows?"
Michael set down his teacup and smiled faintly. "With Sorcerer Ancient One's abilities, she must be able to sense that more and more Dimensional powers are once again beginning to erode Earth.
Although the entire Earth is enveloped and defended by a magic net formed by three magical sanctums, since it's a net, there are naturally loopholes.
As a Space Mage, my perception is only clearer. On the entire Earth, the Dimensional monsters trying every means to break through the magic net, or even bypass it to descend upon Earth, are not few."
In fact, after becoming a Space Mage, the moment Michael returned to Earth this time, he sensed the magic net, or rather, the magic array, that enveloped the entire Earth!
The main reason was that the magical fluctuations of the three sanctums were simply too active. Michael had every reason to believe that any Mage could feel it, let alone a Space Mage like him!
"Of course, this is insignificant to the Mages of Kamar-Taj, who have ample means to deal with it, let alone Sorcerer Ancient One herself! In fact, beyond this, there are other Mages and warlocks who are also diligently hunting down Dimensional monsters.
But this is only temporary, isn't it?"
"With your ability to foresee the future, you cannot be unaware of what Earth will face in the future!"
Michael pointed meaningfully at the artifact on the Ancient One's chest...
"You know what this is?"
Seeing the direction Michael was pointing, the Ancient One's calm expression, which had remained unchanged until then, couldn't help but become serious as she looked at Michael with curiosity.
The Ancient One had sufficient confidence that, under layers of magical restrictions, the Time Stone would not leak even a trace of power for anyone to perceive. This confidence came from the restrictions set by successive Sorcerer Supremes!
But if it weren't for the blessing of the Time Stone, the eye of agamotto as a magical artifact itself would actually just be a very ordinary magical artifact.
If one didn't already know what it was, others would definitely overlook it due to its ordinary appearance.
Of course, anything worn by the Sorcerer Supreme, no matter how ordinary, would attract sufficient attention from others!
Because the last time in the desert, due to the lack of the eye of agamotto's assistance, she suffered a backlash from Time Magic, the Ancient One had been carrying the eye of agamotto with her for the past few days, for any unforeseen needs!
This was also why the Ancient One dared to appear before Michael, a Mage who was clearly very powerful in spatial abilities.
"Of course! The God of the Vishanti lineage, the famous Agamotto, possesses the power to see through, and even travel through, the River of Time!"
Michael did not deny knowing what this thing was; in fact, there was an undisguised fervor in Michael's eyes.
The Time Stone! Who, knowing what this thing is, wouldn't covet it?
"You came for it?"
The Ancient One's expression began to grow solemn, and at the same time, she prepared to act, her robes already beginning to billow.
The Ancient One did not deny what Michael said about the power of the eye of agamotto, but instead cautiously re-examined Michael.
The eye of agamotto, for Kamar-Taj, and for every Sorcerer Supreme, is not merely a simple divine artifact of the Vishanti lineage.
From the moment the Vishanti Trinity obtained the Time Stone, Kamar-Taj's mission has been to protect this gem from being taken by outsiders.
If Michael's goal was the eye of agamotto, then Michael would naturally be an enemy of Kamar-Taj, and thus an enemy of the Ancient One!
"Yes! And no!"
Michael gave an ambiguous answer.
"Don't be nervous! Don't be nervous!"
Michael pressed his hands down slightly, urging the Ancient One to calm down. "I do want what's inside, but I won't forcibly take it from you. Please believe my promise as a Mage! I can guarantee, as a Mage, that I will never snatch that thing from you, or even from the Mages of Kamar-Taj!"
"Actually, to be honest, this thing on Earth is also one of the reasons why Earth is being encroached upon by various Dimensional powers, isn't it? I believe that through that thing, you have a general observation of the future, and naturally know how much external attention this thing will attract."
"It's not that I look down on your descendants; once you are gone, they won't be able to keep such a treasure!"
"How about we make a gentleman's agreement? One day in the future, if a powerful entity comes to snatch that thing and they can't protect it, or if one day a powerful enemy invades and Kamar-Taj is powerless to resist, please ask me to intervene, and the fee for my intervention will be this thing."
"Of course, if you or they are unwilling, it doesn't matter. I can wait until that thing is taken away, and then I'll just go snatch it myself."
Michael showed the Ancient One a big smile, as if he was about to engrave 'I am a good person' on his face! ...
"I observed you using the eye of agamotto, Archmage Qi Jun!"
The Ancient One was completely unmoved by Michael's smile. "But, besides... mist, it's still mist!"
"You should know that by tracing the River of Time, one can even see those... ancient cosmic beings, Gods, who once wreaked havoc across the Universe!"
"But I cannot see your past, I cannot see your future, and I cannot even see your present!"
"If you weren't standing in front of me, I wouldn't even believe that there are existences that the eye of agamotto cannot observe!"
The Ancient One's words contained a hint of undetectable shock!
