Chapter 207 Is This a Personal Friendship?
At this moment, Qiao Ke felt the domineering rushing towards his face.
It was only then that he remembered, that's right, the position of the supreme mage is not based on inheritance in most cases.
But after defeating many competitors, it was snatched by strength.
Whoever is the final victor is the supreme mage!
Even the next inheritor of Master Ancient One is Dr. Strange, who is still a surgeon.
After he was appointed as the new supreme mage by Master Gu Yi and succeeded him, he has not rarely encountered challengers!
Master Gu Yi hasn't had any challengers trying to take her position in recent hundreds of years, simply because no one dared to try, because they all knew it was impossible to succeed!
Not to mention the various demon gods from different planes, they don't have a peaceful master, and in the end they all stay in their own territory obediently under the mighty power of Master Gu Yi, not daring to wander around the earth casually.
Even a big boss like Mephisto, the devil of hell, would only dare to do some tricks in a sneaky way, like a ghost knight or something.
Even Dormammu, who occupies the entire dark plane, only dared to come to Earth after the death of Master Gu Yi, to see if he could take advantage of it.
Even the purple sweet potato spirit Thanos who snapped his fingers and wiped out half of the life in the universe in the future dared not come to Earth to seek death when Master Ancient One and God King Odin of Asgard were there, and when he hadn't collected all the infinite gems.
All of this is because of the awe brought by her killing and strength!
"Qiao Ke, do you understand the mysterious thing of time?" Master Gu Yi asked leisurely.
This time, Qiao Ke straightened his mind and thought about it carefully: "Einstein's theory of relativity believes that time is not absolute. It produces completely different results with different relative speeds and different structures of observers, that is to say, different observation points, so the observation results are also different."
Qiao Ke has a wide range of concepts, but does not get into the subtleties, so he stated slowly: "Gravity will distort time. When we are in a massive object, such as near a black hole, the flow of time is much slower than the outside world."
Fatty Wang, who was standing behind Master Gu Yi with his hands behind his back, kept his eyes straight. Isn't this the same thing as our magic?
Master Ancient One nodded: "Einstein is a great man, I have met him, and his wisdom is amazing."
She continued: "Then do you know how variable time is?"
This has exceeded the limit of his general theoretical understanding, and he shook his head to express his ignorance.
Gu Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. She didn't pay special attention to her manners, but her movements were natural without any fuss.
"Time has too many variables and is too chaotic. With a mortal body, wisdom simply cannot accommodate so many changes."
Qiao Ke has no right to speak about this, but she can imagine that a thing feels fresh after watching it once, and it will be annoying after watching it tens of thousands of times. Like Doctor Strange, he saw more than 400 million possibilities for dealing with Thanos. For this, Qiao Ke can only express his admiration.
If he had gone through the same thing more than 400 million times, when he came out, he probably forgot even his last name.At that time, what was Thanos talking about, and who was Thanos?
"I have seen too many possibilities. I have seen a world without Waterloo, and a world where the Nazis won the World War..." She paused here, as if considering that American young people did not learn history well, she was afraid that Joko might not understand, so she changed her perspective.
Turning to look at his servant Fatty Wang: "For example, Wang, there is a timeline where his grandfather became the founding leader of the country, and he was the prince when he was born."
Qiao Ke followed her gaze, this guy with a sloppy face can also be a prince?It must be the type of bullying men and women, dirty scum!
It was also the first time Wang heard this statement, and there was a kind of look on his oily face.
Gu Yi chuckled: "However, in the current timeline, his grandfather died earlier, and his father was just a butcher."
Gu Yi sighed a little: "For example, you, Qiao Ke, in some timelines you became an upstart, in some timelines you didn't enter S.H.I.E.L.D. until you were in your 20s, in some timelines we talked, and in some timelines we didn't... There are too many changes. I really don't know how to choose at the fork in the road. I can only leave everything to fate to develop on my own."
"The big changes in the future are coming, and the world needs your strength to maintain the balance." She said the word "balance" very lightly at the end, and Qiao Ke couldn't hear her clearly. Her focus was in another direction.
"You want to teach me magic?"
"Haha..." The bald woman laughed loudly.
Qiao Ke was dumbfounded by the laughter, if it wasn't for Gu Yi's hearty laughter, or the villain's sneer, he would have sneered and ran away.
"Qiao Ke, you are not suitable for learning magic. You have your own path, which means that the infinite rough stones of the universe are compatible with your nature, and they are the most compatible with you. Only you can maximize their use and obtain their ultimate power. Your path is not in magic."
Qiao Ke's face was full of embarrassment, and he couldn't believe it, thinking that Gu Yi was deliberately dodging and perfunctory himself.
Fatty Wang not far away also looks like you are blunt and unbearable.
"Magic never belongs to this world. The stronger the magic power you use, the more violent the world will fight back against you. It is a power that tempts you to commit crimes. When you use it, you must resist its temptation and must against the oppression of the whole world."
After Gu Yi finished speaking, she looked down, her gaze seemed to penetrate time and space: "I let them strengthen their bodies, hoping to minimize the harm of magic to themselves, but unfortunately they don't understand my painstaking efforts."
Qiao Ke thought to himself, he couldn't tell whether Gu Yi's words were true or not, but this theory was similar to that of DC Constantine next door. Both masters of magic advocated the use of magic with caution, and don't use it if you can.
After explaining the dangers of magic, seeing Qiao Ke listening intently, Gu Yi smiled slightly.
"You have your own path, and you don't need to force magic, which is not as beautiful as you imagined. In the thousands of experiences I have observed, you have a deep relationship with Thanos, many alien civilizations, Asgard God's Domain, etc. Follow the time to naturally get those opportunities that belong to you."
In order to protect the earth, Mage Ancient One borrowed a lot of Dormammu's dark magic power. The dark traits have been eroding her mind, but this old man is struggling to protect the earth. Now the old man is tired and tired.
Wandering on the timeline every day, even though the magic power is still strong, her soul is overwhelmed, and her thoughts are extremely negative. In short, she wants to rest.
Master Gu Yi gently blew his tea: "When I first grasped the time gem, I couldn't wait to check some futures, but all I saw was darkness, and a darker and more hopeless future."
"But after seeing you appear just now, I seem to see the dawn in the haze. I think, you are the variable that can bring hope to this universe."
Qiao Ke, who had been listening silently, bowed slightly and saluted the other party: "Teach me, master, maybe I am not selfless, maybe I am not a real hero, but I will try my best to protect everything I cherish."
Qiao Ke doesn't think he is a hero. If saving people is easy for him, or if it is of great benefit to him, he certainly doesn't mind.
But on the other hand, if you want him to risk his life to save people, that's not his style.
And now that he is an intern agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., he still has to do his normal work, doesn't he?
Master Gu Yi smiled slightly, not commenting on this, but not only did he have a bit of bad taste in his heart: If you have always maintained enough reason, instead of being a hot-headed hero, being a good person everywhere, and doing everything to put the safety of human society as the most important thing, how can you not be considered a real hero?
Mage Ancient One seemed to suddenly think of something: "By the way, Qiao Ke, I think I really need some help from you. I am also very interested in creatures from other worlds and their power."
Qiao Ke looked confused, not knowing what the other party was talking about.
Alien creature?What is a real alien world?In this cosmic system, he feels like a frog at the bottom of a well, how little he knows!
Seeing Qiao Ke's expression, Master Gu Yi seemed to realize something.
She reached out to touch the time gem on her chest again, and then she raised her hand and snapped her fingers: "Master Hamill, I need two Himalayan snow monsters."
Ten seconds later, an equally golden spark circle portal opened beside Mage Ancient One.
Then a one-armed old man used magic to transport two long-haired giant humanoid monsters that were almost three meters high and walked in.
After putting the two Himalayan snow monsters, which looked like white long-haired gorillas, on the ground, the one-armed old man bowed to the ancient mage, and then went back into the fire circle wheel portal again.
Ah!
If Qiao Ke remembers correctly, this old man named Master Hamill should be the father of the fat man who brought tea just now. Their family has been serving the Supreme Master's servants for generations.
Don't ask why the fat man is called Wang and his father is called Hamill, this is something ordinary people really can't explain.
From the beginning to the end, the two snow monsters that looked huge and muscular, probably much stronger than the current Joko, stood still like wax figures.
They haven't even moved their eyeballs, obviously they don't know what kind of magic has restricted their bodies' ability to move freely.
Qiao Ke, on the other hand, looked at Master Gu Yi inexplicably, and couldn't understand what she meant at all for a while.
But Mage Ancient One smiled slightly. She first threw the black-red gemstone condensed from the energy extracted from "Erica" into the mouth of one of the snow monsters, and then raised her hand to summon a golden long knife, which was directly stuffed into Qiao Ke's hand.
