The Motherland Comes to the United States

Gu Yi looked at Bai Ye speechlessly. The Mississippi River is already dirty enough, do you want to make it dirtier?
"Time Stone..."

Gu Yi hesitated for a moment, but shook his head: "I can't give it to you for the time being!"

"You better think about it!" Bai Ye frowned and said, "Once I fail to ascend, this world will definitely be noticed by many ancient gods. Those ancient gods are not as easy to deal with as me. They are basically evil. It doesn't matter if I die... Do you want to watch this universe perish?"

Like the underworld god Xithorn and the snake god Set, all they pursue is endless power and expansion. They take pleasure in devouring the universe, and strengthening themselves is their only goal.

Once targeted, the destruction of this universe is only a matter of time.

Even the five great gods of creation cannot protect it… I’m not afraid of thieves stealing, I’m afraid of thieves thinking about it.

"I know!" Ancient One said, "So it's not that I won't lend you the Time Stone, but I will lend it to you when the time is right. As for now, I still need to use the Time Stone to complete some unfinished business!"

"Dormammu!" Bai Ye thought for a while and asked, "Are you afraid that after you die, Strange will not be able to restrain Dormammu? Then this is simply a trivial matter. Give me the Time Stone, and I will take care of this mess of Dormammu for you!"

If Nick Fury is the Marvel Universe's number one embezzler, then the Ancient One is definitely the Marvel Universe's number one deadbeat.

The power of Kamar-Taj magicians is similar to bank loans, which are borrowed from demons in other dimensions. Ordinary magicians only borrow from Vishanti, basically without much cost, and their souls will only return to Vishanti's arms after death - ordinary people can only use Huabei to do small things.

A more powerful wizard, such as Master Mordo, can borrow a large amount of white magic from Vishanti - those who have certain assets or a stable job and good credit can get a loan to buy a house or start a company.

But if one is eager for quick success and has bad intentions, and feels that the power borrowed from Vishanti is not enough, then one can borrow power from the dimensional demon, like Casillas - if one's credit is not good enough, one can borrow from a loan shark.

But it's different for the Supreme Sorcerer, because he is basically at the level of a god, and can be on equal footing with many dimensional demons, so the ways of borrowing power for the Supreme Sorcerer are varied, and the power of dimensional demons can be borrowed at will, but she has no intention of paying it back... and when the creditors come to collect the debts, not only does she not pay them back, but she beats them up, and then borrows more money - she has a wide range of means and is protected by a big boss (Vishanti), so she can have many ways to default on her debts (such as getting rid of the creditors/robbing Peter to pay Paul).

And Gu Yi was already planning to run away - he had borrowed the power of too many people and couldn't pay it back, so he transferred his assets, filed for bankruptcy (death), and then traveled around the world with financial freedom.

It can be said that Gu Yi is the Pro max version of Accountant Jia.

It was just that Xu Daizi ran too slowly and didn't have time to escape, otherwise he would have been more cool than Accountant Jia.

...That's right, Ancient One must pay protection money to Vishanti, just like Xu Daibei, 2 trillion, can he really swallow it all by himself?
"...There's the Dormammu thing, but that's not all." Ancient One was a little embarrassed and said, "If you're willing to help me solve all of them, then we can discuss the Time Stone thing..."

"Deng Yixia! Deng Yixia!"

Bai Ye quickly stretched out his hand and shouted.

If it was just a matter of Dormammu, a dimensional demon, then Bai Ye could help Ancient One, but if Bai Ye had to take on all of Ancient One's creditors...

Damn it!
That's just a rip off!!

Bai Ye doesn't want to have countless dimensional demon enemies before he advances to the multiverse level.

Bai Ye was even certain that among Ancient One's creditors, there were definitely multiverse-level dimensional demons.

How could Bai Ye, with such a small body, handle so much debt?

"Then you should keep the Time Stone for now. It won't be too late to lend it to me after you have settled your affairs. There's no rush for things here, and I still have a long time to prepare!" Bai Ye said with a polite smile.

"That's it..."

Gu Yi looked at Bai Ye with regret. There was one less sucker to cheat.

If Bai Ye dared to take on her debt, she would die right now and follow Vishanti and Eternal.

There is no other way now, I have to do it myself.

"Since you have made this decision, I will not force you." Ancient One said slowly: "I will deal with my affairs as soon as possible... In addition, if the Time Stone is lost, it will be difficult for Kamar-Taj to resist the covetousness of those dimensional demons for the earth. They may take the opportunity to act. At that time, you may need to lend a hand and help... You don't want this earth to be swallowed by the demons, right?"

"That's for sure!" Bai Ye nodded and said, "I have also made a lot of bets on this earth, such as the Osborn Group, the Galaxy Group, and Ultron... I have done so much, but I am not here to make wedding dresses for those demons! Don't worry, if a dimensional demon invades, I will help!"

"Very good, your words are enough." Gu Yi nodded with satisfaction, a rare smile on his face: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I will go back to Kamar-Taj, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with."

For example, there is a lord of the dark dimension who is ready to test her.

I just borrowed some money from your dark dimension. Is it necessary for you to come to my house every day to ask for it?

If I had money, I would definitely pay you back, but I don’t have any!

I don’t have money for you, and I don’t give you my life either!

If you dare, beat me to death!
"Um... can you give me a copy of your Kamar-Taj's Basic Magic Encyclopedia?" Bai Ye asked, "I have always been interested in magic, and I want to try to see if I can learn your Kamar-Taj's magic!"

"You..." Gu Yi stared at Bai Ye for a long time and shook his head: "I'm sorry, you don't show any talent for magic. Magic is not something that everyone can master easily. It requires talent, perseverance and long-term practice. Without talent, even if you are given more magic books, it will be difficult to achieve anything. So, I suggest that you focus on the areas you are already good at and continue to improve your strength..."

A genius like Strange is unique on the entire earth. Otherwise, how could he become the Sorcerer Supreme after the Ancient One’s death not long after he arrived in Kamar-Taj?
Gu Yi paused for a moment, as if he remembered something, and added: "Well, that's not right. You seem to have some talent for learning black magic, but I'm not good at it. Sorry, I can't teach you."

Bai Ye rolled his eyes and stared at Gu Yi: "We are all family, so there is no need to pretend, right? You are not good at black magic... Then who else in this world is good at black magic?"

Upon hearing this, Ancient One's face darkened and he threw away his robes. His tone was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Nonsense! Kamar-Taj is the holy land of white magic. We are committed to maintaining the balance and harmony of the world. Skills like black magic that are full of destructive and evil power are contrary to the philosophy of our Kamar-Taj..."

"Okay, okay! I understand. There are some things that can be done but cannot be said, right?" Bai Ye gave Gu Yi a look and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"

"I definitely don't have a book on dark magic here." Ancient One pondered and said, "But when I fought Mephisto before, I got some ancient magic books from him. I haven't had time to open them yet, and I don't know what they are for, but I can give them to you."

"Speaking of which, Mephisto and I have some hatred. Well, then please ask Master Ancient One to give me these magic books. I will see if I can find out Mephisto's flaws. If he dares to invade the earth again next time, I will definitely teach him a lesson!" Bai Ye said perfunctorily.

Mephisto is to blame for everything, he understands.

When he does bad things, he likes to put the blame on Mephisto.

Ancient One waved his hand, and subtle ripples appeared in the air. Then, piles of heavy magic books appeared out of thin air, piling up like a mountain, and even Bai Ye was almost crushed.

"Fuck! So many? This... Mephisto is really not a good guy! How on earth did he come up with so many black magic books? This is clearly causing trouble for the world!" Bai Ye said in surprise.

Ancient One nodded in satisfaction. He said, "Mephisto is one of the oldest dimensional demon gods. His mastery and research of black magic has reached an unimaginable level. These books are just the tip of the iceberg of his huge magical knowledge base... You may not understand them, so you can discuss them with the little girl next to you."

Bai Ye knew of course that the person Ancient One was talking about was Wanda.

He picked up a book of black magic and flipped through it casually. It was filled with annotations - "On How to Resolve the Debt of the God of the Underworld, Sithon".

"understood!"

Bai Ye probably understood that the reason Ancient One gave him these books on dark magic was not because of his intention but because of Wanda.

Wanda is a follower of Sithon and a host of chaos magic. She is a very dangerous existence. Once Sithon invades, he will use Wanda as a carrier to project into this universe, and even Bai Ye will have difficulty dealing with it.

Ancient One was also worried about Wanda's problems after her death, so she gave Wanda these magic books in advance so that Wanda could learn how to resist Sithon's divine descent.

When it comes to paying off debts, no one is better than the Ancient One. She owes debts to countless dimensional demons, but she is still able to live happily until now and escape in time. If Wanda could learn one-tenth of the Ancient One's ability to pay off debts, then from a mere Sithon, wouldn't she be able to borrow as much power as she wants and not have to worry about paying it back?
If Wanda's power can be used for the right purpose, the universe will have an extra layer of protection!

Bai Ye put all these black magic books into his Samsara Eye, smiled and nodded, saying: "Don't worry, I will discuss these magic books with Wanda."

Letting Wanda learn these black magic books is a win-win situation for all three parties. Wanda wins, Bai Ye wins, and even Ancient One wins. As for who loses... it is irrelevant!

Before, Bai Ye was also considering what Wanda’s next path should be. If he continued to follow the path in the "Book of the Darkhold", he was afraid that Wanda would be possessed by Sithon.

Now, Ancient One has come to Wanda's rescue. With these black magic books carefully annotated by Ancient One, Wanda can verify the "Dark Book" and continue to become stronger after avoiding the trap left by Sithon.

Gu Yi smiled slightly and waved his hand to open a space door.

"By the way, please give me some books on white magic. If I can't learn white magic, Wanda can learn it!" Bai Ye shouted.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi was slightly startled, then turned around, thought for a moment, and waved his hand gently. Suddenly, volumes of white magic books that were as white as snow and emitting soft light emerged like mushrooms after a rain, filling every corner of the room.

"If the little girl is willing to learn white magic, then I will definitely not be stingy." Ancient One threw three hanging rings to Bai Ye and said, "White magic, black magic, walking on two legs is definitely much more stable than walking on one leg."

After saying that, Gu Yi turned and left.

Back to Kamar-Taj.

"Master Ancient One, you are back!"

Strange, with an apple in his mouth, greeted Ancient One with a smile.

Originally, Ancient One was quite satisfied with Strange's outstanding talent and hard work, but when she thought of Wanda and Daylight who had already reached the peak of Heavenly Father, and then looked at Strange... he was too slow!
"Strange, come to my room later, I will love you well!" said Ancient One with a stern face.

"what?"

Strange was confused.

I don't know what's wrong with the Supreme Sorcerer!
"Strange's progress in training is still too slow. We need to give him more effort!"

Ancient One thought to himself.

The duty of the Supreme Sorcerer is to protect the Earth from invasion from other dimensions of time and space.

Before Strange appears, is there anyone who can take over this mission from Ancient One?
No.

Mordo's thoughts are too conservative and extreme, and he might turn to evil someday;

The most talented disciple, Kaecilius, defected to Dormammu, greatly increasing the pressure on Ancient One;
The king's abilities are generally limited. Although he is loyal, he is unable to handle important tasks.

Only Ancient One saw the appearance of Strange and knew that Strange was the one capable of taking over her mission.

She just had someone drive a car to break Strange's hands, and then took him in as her apprentice.

Until Strange grows up and demonstrates enough ability and responsibility to take over her mission, Ancient One can leave peacefully.

For Ancient One, who has lived for thousands of years, death is not the end, but a kind of relief. So before dying, Ancient One's soul left his body to appreciate the beauty of lightning.

After fighting the dark world alone for many years, Ancient One can finally put aside his responsibilities and pursue higher truths.

Ancient One sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that little Osborn is such a jerk and the little girl is a time bomb... maybe they can replace me as the Sorcerer Supreme as soon as possible and let them wait for Strange to grow up." (End of this chapter)
