American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

Black Widow's gaze flickered.

She secretly observed the ancient and elegant architecture in front of her.

Kamar-Taj!

The legendary world of magicians!

She never expected that she would have the opportunity to visit Kamar-Taj in her lifetime.

"Now I can show off to Clint when I go back."

Just as Black Widow sighed, a round-faced middle-aged Asian man appeared in front of her and Chu Xiu.

"The Ancient One is waiting for you."

"But I have to remind you, she doesn't seem very happy today."

Wang patted Chu Xiu's shoulder.

Then he walked away with a smug look on his face.

"?"

Chu Xiu wanted to say: "What does it have to do with me if she's happy or not?"

But he remembered that he came to ask for help.

So he swallowed his words.

"You wait outside, I'll go in alone."

Chu Xiu left Black Widow outside and pushed open the door.

He entered the hall.

Sure enough, the Ancient One was already waiting inside.

But she had no expression, and it was hard to tell her emotions.

"Are you here to ask for my help?"

"Yes."

Chu Xiu nodded.

He walked forward and took out the hard drive containing Doctor Strange.

"This guy uploaded his consciousness to the network and became a digital life form."

"But I think... even if a person becomes a digital life form..."

"He should still have a soul, right?"

That's right!

Chu Xiu wanted the Ancient One to use the "Dark Seal Palm" to extract Doctor Strange's soul from the hard drive.

Because Doctor Strange and Ultron were fundamentally different.

Ultron was an artificial being, without a soul.

But Doctor Strange was different.

He was a human when he was alive.

Even if he died and became a digital life form, he should still have a soul.

As long as Doctor Strange's soul could be extracted from the hard drive.

Chu Xiu could use it as leverage.

And then he could use various black magic and curses on his soul.

That way, even if Doctor Strange betrayed him, Chu Xiu had enough means to deal with him.

But the prerequisite was that the Ancient One had to help.

Because Chu Xiu had never learned the Dark Seal Palm and didn't know how to use it.

He had even searched the library of Kamar-Taj but couldn't find any similar magic.

Because of this...

Chu Xiu had suspected more than once that the Ancient One was hiding something!

Intentionally keeping a few moves from him!

"Chu Xiu, I'm glad you thought of coming to me when you encountered trouble."

"But you took the Eye of Agamotto, and I'm not happy about that."

The Ancient One said as she reached out her hand to Chu Xiu.

"Give it to me."

Chu Xiu was stunned.

Leader, wasn't it you who left it here and let me take it by default?

Why are you changing your tune now?

"I know what you're thinking."

"Yes, I intentionally left it behind for you to defend yourself."

"But now you've used it up. You've already subdued Hela, and you're about to conquer the Spirit Prison."

"It's time to give it back to me."

As soon as he heard the word "give it back," Chu Xiu felt uneasy all over.

No way~

I still have to save the world!

Boss, let me use it for a little longer.

Chu Xiu held onto the Eye of Agamotto. Although he didn't say a word, the Ancient One clearly understood what he was thinking.

"Don't even think about it."

"The Time Gem is not meant to be used like this."

"Your misuse has caused the emergence of multiple time branches."

"This will lead to disastrous consequences."

After the Ancient One finished speaking, she looked up at Chu Xiu.

With a serious tone, she said:

"Regarding the current crisis."

"I know you want to use the Time Gem to travel back in time and prevent Tony Stark from creating Ultron."

"But..."

"I have to remind you."

"Don't forget about your uniqueness, you are different from others."

"The first time we met, I told you that the Time Gem cannot see your past and future. Do you know what that means?"

"What does it mean?"

Once again, Chu Xiu heard questions about himself and time from the Ancient One.

He put away his frivolousness.

Became serious.

"It means you are independent in the timeline!"

"You do not exist in the past and future! You only exist at the moment!"

"For example..."

"If someone wants to travel back in time to kill you before you grow up."

"They would be wasting their time."

"Because in the timeline of the past, you as a person do not exist."

"So..."

"If you want to travel back a few days ago to prevent Ultron's birth."

"At the same moment, the Chu Xiu who was in the underworld talking to Hela would disappear with your arrival."

"You would create a completely new timeline."

"In that timeline, Ultron may not appear, but Hela would not know you, and the border of hell would still be Belast's territory."

"Do you want to become like that?"

The Ancient One finished speaking.

Then she picked up the tea next to her and took a sip.

While drinking tea, her gaze was still observing Chu Xiu's expression.

Snap!

Suddenly!

Chu Xiu forcefully took off the Eye of Agamotto.

With a snap, it heavily landed on the table in front of the Ancient One.

"Take it away, take it away!"

"Don't let me see it for a moment!"

"Love whoever you want, I don't want to experience the infinite loop of subduing Hela again."

Seeing the Eye of Agamotto being slammed on the table by Chu Xiu.

The Ancient One's eyelid twitched.

She quickly picked up the Eye of Agamotto and discreetly checked it.

This kid...

Why did he slam it so hard?

"Cough, cough."

After confirming that the Eye of Agamotto was not damaged by Chu Xiu's slam.

The Ancient One coughed lightly and picked up the hard drive containing Doctor Strange from the side.

A gentle tap.

A magical wave of 963 appeared.

The next second, a translucent figure flew out of the hard drive.

"What is this?"

Doctor Strange in his astral form looked around in shock.

The data in the hard drive stopped processing.

It was like a dormant state.

So for Doctor Strange, he was in the disk in the underground base one second, and the next second he was...

"Wait!"

"I have a body!?"

Only now did Doctor Strange realize.

He was floating in the air in the form of a human!

Just that he was semi-transparent!

"???"

"What did you do to me?"

Doctor Strange looked at Chu Xiu in shock.

Chu Xiu didn't answer Doctor Strange's question.

Instead, he turned to the Ancient One.

"Do you have any black magic that can control a person's soul and make them disintegrate and lose consciousness?"

"If you have, it would be best to bring a few more."

"Yes."

Doctor Strange in his astral form,

watched the Ancient One and Chu Xiu's question and answer.

Then, in a moment, a nightmarish scene appeared in front of Doctor Strange.

Chu Xiu's eyes turned crimson, and his whole body was covered in evil aura.

Like a devil walking out of hell.

His left hand was black magic!

His right hand was an evil curse!

He grinned!

Approaching Doctor Strange's soul.

"Hehehehe..."
