Collapse of iron, but I am the Supreme Strange

The ceiling began to deform at this moment. The complex patterns on the top began to rotate and expand, undulating like waves, and finally stood up, revealing a wider space on the upper level.

Dan Heng frowned. At first he thought that the stairs were rising into the air, but he soon discovered that he did not feel any change in gravity, which meant that the surrounding space was descending, and everything in the temple was moving downward with them as the center.

"Don't stop," An Yi said, "The stairs will adjust the position of the temple according to your footsteps. When you reach the top of the stairs, you will reach your destination. The temple is very high. There are no restrictions of height and gravity here. I have been stacking higher and higher."

"Isn't that an elevator?" Xing suddenly asked, "It's used to take people to the upper floors of a building."

"It's not like an elevator. You just need to press a button and you don't need to move around. If you step back and forth in the elevator, people around you will think you are crazy." An Yi said: "Of course this staircase can also be automatic, but I think it's better to move more."

So Xing took two steps at a time and rushed up, and everyone quickly reached the upper floor.

The second floor is a museum-like hall - the hall is filled with various objects protected by glass covers, and there is a nameplate on the table used to place the objects with a brief introduction.

The floor is made of white marble. Unlike the gorgeous style of the first floor, the overall style of this floor is simple and solemn.

"Oh, these are all my collections." An Yi shouted, and then he took the lead and walked over: "The good things I collected from various worlds - ah, not entirely good things, some worthless but very memorable things to me are also left here."

This room was even larger than the previous lobby, and it stretched as far as the eye could see. The collections were neatly stacked in rows, stretching to the end of the field of vision.

"How many things have you collected?" Sanyueqi shouted, "This is too much!"

"Because I have been to many, many places," An Yi sighed and said to her, "Xiao Sanyue, I am actually much older than you think. I just look young, but I am actually an old guy. And... if I stay in one place for such a long time, it will be a very scary thing. So I have traveled to many universes. My footprints are spread across thousands of different worlds. Each of these collections represents a unique memory of me in that world."

An Yi’s words startled Dan Heng slightly.

"Immortality..."

He talked to himself with a thoughtful expression.

Xing walked back and forth among these collections. She pressed against the glass cover and looked inside.

There is a broken round shield inside with a five-pointed star symbol in the center.

A large piece was missing from the upper part of the shield, as if it had been smashed by some sharp weapon with brute force, and the cracked part was very sharp.

Xing lowered his head and looked at the words written on the booth.

[In memory of Steve Rogers' heroic performance in the fight against Thanos]

"Ok?"

Xing tilted her head, she didn't know Steve Rogers, nor did she know Thanos.

She then walked forward, where a more interesting object was placed.

In this booth, there is a high-tech battle suit, which is in red and gold colors, with faint blue light emitting from the gaps. However, this battle suit only has the upper part. Below the waist is composed of particles that are constantly rotating like a vortex, which looks quite cool.

Xing stared at these rotating particles with great curiosity and let out a slight sound of admiration.

The name of this thing is written on the table below——【Mark85】

"Oh... looks amazing."

Xing sighed slightly, then looked at another display case next to her.

The thing in this display cabinet is not that cool. It looks like a deformed and thickened version of a flashlight, or like a part removed from some machine.

It lay quietly on the stand, emitting a blue light.

Xing couldn't figure out what it was for, so she lowered her head and read the words underneath the stand.

"Mr. Tony Stark has a warm heart."

Xing tilted her head in confusion. She always felt that there was some story behind this thing.

She continued walking forward, and this time there was a hammer in the cabinet, a hammer... that was broken and then put back together?

The handle of the hammer was still intact, but the upper part was completely shattered and covered with cracks. When Xing put his hand on the glass, there was crackling sound of lightning all around.

"Meow Meow Hammer?" Xing looked at the words on the nameplate below: "What a cute name."

"Xing!" March Seven's voice rang out from the side: "Come quickly! Look at this——"

"Hmm?" Xing moved closer to Xiao Sanyue, and the two of them leaned against the glass together, staring at the things inside with wide eyes.

"I can't see clearly, what is this?" Xing asked. The objects in this small glass cabinet were too miniature.

"It's a piece of clothing!" San Yue Qi answered. Her ability was the best in the train group. "It's a piece of clothing that's only... only one centimeter in size. It's so small! It seems to be a motorcycle suit, and there's a strange helmet next to it!"

Xing's eyes were getting tired from staring at it, but she still couldn't see it clearly, so she shook her head, blinked her dry eyes, and looked at the nameplate below:

"Scott's combat uniform?" Xing asked in confusion, "Huh? Is there really anyone who can wear it?"

"Only an ant can fit through this size!" Sanyueqi shouted, "Xing, let's go take a look at this—"

There was a small device in another booth. The two girls didn't recognize what it was, but they could tell that it was used to launch some kind of substance.

"Peter Parker's web-shooter." March Seven read the following words: "Web?"

"Well, this Peter Parker, can't be a spider?" Xing scratched his head.

"Spiders don't need a launcher to shoot webs, okay?" said March 7.

Sanyueqi and Xing walked along the aisle and saw a dark blue cube placed in a glass cover, emitting a very beautiful light.

"Cosmic Cube?" Sanyueqi glanced at the nameplate and asked, "What is this thing for?"

"It also says... Do not move, it's dangerous." Xing leaned over and said, "It contains a [Space Gem]. But what is a Space Gem?"

Xing and Sanyueqi were a little confused. These things didn't even come with instructions. Perhaps only An Yi himself knew their original purpose.

Dan Heng, An Yi and Clara stood together. Dan Heng looked at the display case beside him and raised his head slightly.

"Is this also in your collection?" Dan Heng pointed at the item and asked An Yi, "A tablet computer?"

Clara leaned over and whispered the words on it.

"Shiting Box?" She tilted her head: "Brother An Yi, what is this for?"

"Well... this is a bit complicated to explain." An Yi replied: "Originally, there was one - no, two cyberlolis living in here. I used magic to create two bodies, pulled them out and stuffed them in. I kept this tablet as a collection."

"What about that one?" Dan Heng looked at another counter.

There was a strangely shaped dagger floating in the glass cabinet, a bit like a trident.

"That's the Flying Thunder God Kunai." An Yi replied, "It's for a friend of mine who likes to go home."

"Like going home? Oh... that's a bit confusing." Dan Heng shrugged: "But you really have everything here."

He also walked forward along the aisle, scanning the dazzling array of exhibits while reading the words on the nameplate below:

"Antidote for mineral sickness. Boxed, made in Rhodes Island."

"FUZE's dong dong dong? What does dong dong dong mean?"

"Power Boy's prosthetic limb. Oh well, a prosthetic limb, can this also be used for collection?"

"V's prosthetic body? Ah, it's really worth collecting."

Dan Heng rubbed his eyes, then raised his head and looked to the right. The exhibits over there were all some kind of weapons, so he scanned them one by one.

"Black Dragon Annihilation Blade?"

"Dante's magic sword?"

"Immortal Slash?"

"Altaïr's Hidden Blade..."

"Master Chief's Mjolnir armor, well, it looks like a big one."

"What is this... a divine body transformed into a sword?"

"Kratos' Leviathan Axe?"

"The Triforce, the Bloodthirster, the Infinity Blade, the Last Whisper..."

Dan Heng couldn't help but sigh: "Your collection here is really bizarre."

"In the infinite universe, there are also infinite interesting worlds." An Yi replied: "Let's go. March - Star -"

An Yi called the two girls back and said, "We should go to the next place. If we stay here, you won't be able to see all the collections even if you spend three days and two nights here."

He led a few guests up the stairs again. Xing and Sanyue looked like they hadn't seen enough, but An Yi still let the temple sink down and took them to the next floor.

"The room on this floor," An Yi shouted, "is where I practice magic props."

"Magic props?" Sanyueqi was a little curious.

"Yes, that is, the magic weapons." An Yi replied: "These magic weapons are a bit... dangerous. If you are not careful when using them, it is possible to blow the temple up into the sky. So listen to me--"

An Yi said to everyone: "I hope you won't make trouble. Don't touch or knock over anything, and don't eat anything inside - no matter how delicious it looks, okay?"

After repeated instructions, An Yi led everyone down the stairs and came to the room where the magic weapons were stored.

The floor here is made of dark oak, and the room has an antique feel, which is much more low-key than the first two floors.

There were all kinds of props that had never been seen scattered around the room, various objects were hung on the walls, and the table was filled with all kinds of strange items of all sizes.

In the very center of the room, there is the only object covered in a large glass case.

"Eh?" Xing looked at the thing, then turned to look at An Yi beside him: "Isn't that your cloak?"

"Yes!" March Seven shouted, "A flying cloak, but it's red!"

Good feeling

Chapter 4: Magic Testing Ground (2k)

"Yes...a flying cloak." An Yi looked up at the large glass cabinet in the center of the room.

He walked forward slowly and put his hand on the glass.

The red cloak was floating quietly, and slowly raised one corner of it and pressed it against the other side of the glass, as if shaking hands with An Yi through the glass.

Clara followed behind An Yi, raised her head curiously and looked at the cloak inside.

Then the magic floating cloak also leaned down slightly, as if looking at Clara's small figure.

"Well, the Magic Float Cloak is very fickle." An Yi lowered his head and said to Clara, "And he will only follow the wizards he recognizes. But you seem to have attracted his attention. So, maybe you will be very talented, Clara."

“Eh? Me, me?” Clara pointed at herself and said flatteredly: “Clara…Clara will try her best.”

"But why do you have two flying cloaks?" San Yue Qi suddenly asked An Yi, "What does this one have to do with your black cloak? How did you get these?"

"...This black cloak." An Yi turned his head and looked at the black and gold cloak on his shoulders: "I stole it, and I killed the previous owner of this cloak."

".....ha?"

After these words were spoken, everyone looked somewhat surprised.

"Hey, don't look at me with such strange eyes," An Yi smiled: "This is a long story - I once told you that I devoured many dimensional lords and dimensional demons, right? I said it in the office of the Black Tower."

"Yes, I remember." Dan Heng replied.

"That's right," An Yi pointed to the cloak behind him with his thumb, "This guy was once followed by a big cockroach, and that cockroach was a supreme wizard from a dark dimension."

"You...you ate cockroaches?!" Sanyueqi was stunned.

"No, not eating in the physical sense, but [devouring]." An Yi explained: "And I have zero tolerance for bugs. I will never let this thing enter my body, so I just drained its magic power and snatched the cloak - I mean, took it from me."

An Yi's words made everyone nod slightly and remain silent.

"Take what you want, take what you want." An Yi added: "From the current situation, it is obvious that it likes me more than the cockroach."

"Then...what about that red cape? Where did you get it from?" San Yue Qi asked with her hands on her hips, "If you already have a cape, why do you need a second one? One to wear and one to keep?"

"The red one is..." An Yi paused: "It's a relic of my best friend."

"——Huh? Relics?"

San Yue Qi raised his eyebrows, then touched his head a little embarrassedly: "Ah... Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

"It's nothing." An Yi shook his head: "It happened a long time ago. I have accepted the reality a long time ago."

An Yi paced back and forth around the glass display case, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"His name is Strange." An Yi said, "He is the previous Supreme Sorcerer. He is also an excellent surgeon. Oh, I really miss the days with him."

An Yi uttered such sentimental words, but just when he was about to say something else, a loud clattering sound suddenly occurred, shattering the serious atmosphere in the room.

So everyone turned around and looked towards the place where the sound came from, only to see Xing standing by the table, holding a small diamond-shaped part in his hand and showing an awkward smile.
