The Hogwarts Professor at Marvel

Chapter 686 Two Choices Given by Gu Yi
why?
A good dream world, Lockhart's strongest ability, the foundation of becoming a god, why did he just give up?
After hearing the problem of the system.

A calm smile appeared on Lockhart's face, and he whispered, "I want to find another way forward!"

Remember, Lockhart took Thor to meet the Ancient One?
At the moment when Lockhart took him away, Gu Yi reminded him through sound transmission.

What you are abandoning now is the cornerstone of your future strength.

At the time, Lockhart didn't quite understand.

But the supreme mage specially reminded that it must have its meaning.

He also thought over and over again, since he joined Karma Taj, everything related to Ancient One.

Gu Yi helped himself to sign a contract with Emperor Weishan, and put forward contract regulations like loopholes for himself.

Gu Yi agreed.

Afterwards, he presented his books on Chaos Magic as gifts.

I also sent my own handwritten experience on the relationship between gods and believers.

After that, every time I ask for advice, I will more or less point out the direction of my practice.

There is also the last chance and firm attitude that Gu Yi said.

Lockhart already understood.

The final choice given by Master Ancient One is right in front of him.

Or choose to become the god of the Marvel world and continue the relationship between the gods and believers in the past.

Or, choose to give up and find a new path.

It seems like an easy choice between the two.

Become a god, only the power of the gods is well known.

Obtain eternal life, have the authority of rules, and control the lives of thousands of believers.

He is only one step away from becoming a god.

The prototype of the world that fallen mages like David spent thousands of energy hoping for.

He already has it, and as long as he cultivates the dream world logically, an unimpeded path to becoming a god will be in front of him.

And what about another option?
Find a very new path for mages.

Hundreds of millions of years in the Marvel universe have not found a new path.

In addition, even if a new path is discovered, it will be hostile to the gods of the multiverse of the Marvel world.

Probably most gods don't care.

But even if there is only one percent, or even one ten thousandth of the gods, it is unacceptable to Lockhart at this stage.

This is Lockhart's choice.

To be simpler, the ancient one let Lockhart choose.

Whether to integrate into the original god system of the Marvel world, or choose to create a new path and break the gods' control over the mage.

And Lockhart chose...

"Host, I understand what you mean."

"Congratulations, you have found your mission!"

The mechanical sound of the system sounded, and a faint smile appeared on Lockhart's face.

Seems like it's because of what the system says congratulations.

Or, the system didn't stop him or mock his overreach.

Yes, Lockhart chose option 2.

Give up the road to becoming a god that is within reach, and choose a tortuous road that does not know the way forward.

Mephisto and Dormammu on the side were puzzled and confused.

Because they didn't hear anything just now, this time, it wasn't Lockhart who made the move.

It's the power of the system.

"System, thank you for your help."

"You know my character."

"Just now, I told you what I want."

"So, what do you want?"

Speaking, Lockhart pointed to Mephisto and Dormammu beside him.

"If you want to obtain more original power, I believe that in the future, we will cooperate very well."

Who is friend and who is foe?
This is a very good question.

The system helps yourself, must it be a friend?
Not necessarily.

But must it be the enemy again?

This is not necessarily the case.

Friend and foe is itself a very vague choice.

But there is a criterion for judging.

If, in the case of conflict of interests, no matter how good a friend is, it will only turn into an enemy in the end.

In the case of the same interests, it is possible to become friends.

The so-called friend and enemy strategy proposed by the great man.

Make friends many and enemies few.

Its core is to tap the common interests of both parties.

The more points you can dig, the more friends you will have.

That's what Lockhart is doing now - he's trying to build a mutual good for himself and the system.

Because, what he does next, if the system is willing to help...

"What do you think? Host." The familiar mechanical voice of the system sounded: "I'm curious, in your eyes, what purpose I might have."

Although the voice was mechanical, it still couldn't hide the system's smile and curiosity.

Lockhart didn't answer, but actually looked at Mephisto and Dormammu.

Pointing at them, he answered irrelevantly and said: "These two, it's a bit annoying to keep them."

"Or, you'd better swallow it."

This time, Lockhart's voice fell on the ears of Mephisto and Dormammu.

They are naturally unwilling.

Although sacrificing an avatar is a price they can afford.

But sacrifice in vain, naturally reluctant.

"My friend, don't rush to act." Mephisto said quickly: "I probably understand the relationship between you."

"What Lockhart can offer you, we can do as well."

"Maybe you have special resources when you are Hart, but that doesn't mean there is no possibility of cooperation between us."

"I know you may be concerned about betrayal, deceit."

"You have to believe in our sincerity. We have many means to maintain fairness between both parties."

Dormammu also said repeatedly: "Don't rush to do it, anyway, we are all restrained now."

"Let's hear what we have to offer."

"Our accumulation of 10 years is not a joke."

"The original power of our two incarnations is our meeting ceremony..."

"..."

They try to persuade the system to stop.

It's just an incarnation, but the value of sacrifice has to be sacrificed.

After the system heard it, it took a special look at Lockhart's expression.

But finding Lockhart's indifferent demeanor, he couldn't help feeling bored.

next moment……

call!
The purple-gold ball of light transformed by the system suddenly grew bigger.

In less than a second, it passed through the bodies of Mephisto and Dormammu.

Simultaneously with each other, the two bodies suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the system was reduced to its original size.

Flying in front of Lockhart, he continued.

"Now, let's talk."

Lockhart took a deep look, Mephisto and the location where Dormammu disappeared.

It seems that I want to feel that the means I left in the hands of the two have any effect?
However, when the system sound sounded, Lockhart said without hesitation, "Of course."

"System, as I said before, I am very grateful."

"Your ability is very strong."

"Especially in the early stages of my journey, without your help, it would be very difficult to ensure my safety."
