Marvel's Superman

Chapter 126 - 123 Time Settings, Three Questions.

"You are very strange. "

Sorcerer Supremes\' eyes glowed slightly, and there was a rare hint of doubt on her pale face, where it was hard to distinguish her gender.

In this world, there are not many things that could puzzle the Ancient One.

She has an Infinity Stone and can foresee future changes and see through the fog of fate.

"General Cavill, your soul belongs to a human being, not creatures of other dimensions. This is a fact that has been confirmed after repeated examination -- there is no smell of sulfur and no crimson glow. "

Luke saw the Sorcerer Supreme subconsciously twitched her nose. He was somewhat speechless.

\'The soul has a smell? Can you smell it?\'

He, a non-magical world outsider, indicated that he didn\'t understand it very well.

"Before you took Rome, you had no magical talent at all, let alone learning black magic -- but now you\'re different, and your efficiency at drawing on natural energy is terrific. "

The Sorcerer Supreme narrowed her eyes; she didn\'t quite understand why Luke had suddenly gone from being a non-magical human to a highly gifted magical amateur.

If the other party signs a contract with the Vishanti trinity, he will pass the threshold of becoming a grandmaster in sorcery.

"As for Dormammu, he hasn\'t come out for a long time. Mephisto -- after I destroyed one of his human incarnations in Greece last time, I guess the cunning demon had to take some time off …"

Listening to the Sorcerer Supremes\' words, as if it was a family history, talking about the Marvel world\'s dimensional gods. All the big shots were said one after another.

Luke\'s mouth twitched; he could only say that she was an ancient one!

Talking and laughing with these big bosses every day, up to the dimensional demon gods, down to the devils of hell, you had to respect her.

The title of the strongest sorcerer on earth is well deserved.

"So, the … Temple of the Three couldn\'t figure out where I came from?"

Luke picked his eyebrows and kept his face calm.

If the Sorcerer Supreme knew of a certain chatty mercenary who could break the fourth wall, she would probably know where he came from -- provided that perhaps the unborn Deadpool had not been canceled.

"That\'s right. "

The Supreme Master sighed as if with some regret.

This is a problem she has never encountered before. Luke\'s soul didn\'t belong to this world, but she couldn\'t find a specific origin.

All kinds of strange things that don\'t make sense at all!

Even the grandmasters of the Temple of the Three had difficulty in giving a reasonable explanation.

"After a period of investigation, I initially think that you are human, not a creature of another dimension. This is a problem. Because you don\'t belong to this universe, but you also don\'t belong to the multidimensional world."

"So according to the rules, the Temple of the Three can\'t dispose of you at will. Every human soul should be respected and protected. Just like the sorcerers guarding this planet, this is our mission and cannot be violated. "

"After some discussion, the Temple of the Three chose to observe quietly, and I often watched your movements from Karma Taj. "

"General Cavill, if you hadn\'t shown something unusual, you probably wouldn\'t have seen me in your life -- until the moment you held the Infinity Stone. "

Luke remembered Red Skull and the plane incident when he vaguely felt as if he was being watched.

That should be the Sorcerer Supreme herself.

"The moment you grasp the Tesseract, the space stone -- the timeline diverged into countless streams, destiny became obscure, the future with many possibilities kept changing, and fell into a precarious and chaotic state. "

The Sorcerer Supreme looked at Luke sitting across from her; there were complex emotions in her eyes.

She didn\'t seem to expect such a consequence. Souls from other dimensions, or otherworldly beings, were not uncommon in the three sanctuaries.

Some of them were harmless, while others were threatening.

The Temple of the Three has its own set of rules for disposal, either receive or destroy them.

But Luke is unique; he doesn\'t belong to any of them.

This caused the sanctuaries to fail to deal with the situation on time, which led to worse changes.

"Then what should I do now?"

Luke asked curiously.

After noticing that the Sorcerer Supreme wasn\'t showing any apparent hostility, he became much more relaxed.

There was still vigilance in his heart, but his words were more casual.

Although it sounds like the Temple of the Three is having a hard time with his existence, the Sorcerer Supreme doesn\'t seem to know how to fix it.

"I don\'t know. "

The Sorcerer Supreme shook her head. She is not omniscient and sometimes confused.

"This is the reason why I came to find you. "

\'Finally getting down to business.\' Luke thought.

Frankly, he would like to reach a consensus with the Sorcerer Supreme.

In this way, his existence can become reasonable and legitimate. Then the Temple of the Three will not restrict and supervise him.

Superman is indeed powerful. But, punching Mephisto, kicking the dimensional demon god, may not end well.

Unless Luke can immediately pull out the ultimate Superboy-Prime, or Silver Age Superman, the card that could go against the heavens.

"When you had an unexpected and massive impact on the future, I tried to go back in time and try to … change it. "

Luke\'s eyelids jumped, and although the Sorcerer Supreme spoke politely, he still noticed the cold meaning between the words.

Change things?

Does it mean using the Time Stone to go back in time and \'fix\' him?

"No, no, no. You misunderstood what I meant. "

The Sorcerer Supreme seemed to guess Luke\'s thoughts, shaking her head and smiling, "The past is unchangeable; when it happens, it becomes a fact. If I go back to the past and kill you in the cradle, it wouldn\'t affect you now; it will only open up a new branch for the line, a world without you. "

Luke frowned. He seemed to remember, Marvel Studios\' time settings are a little different from other movies.

If you go back to the past, you can change the setting of the future.

"So, what did you do?"

Luke suddenly found that the Sorcerer Supreme was an interesting person to chat with, not refusing to answer any questions, not to mention using vague language like other mystics.

Most prophets like to hide the correct answers in confusing words.

"I can observe the future. Your appearance has brought more than 6,300 different possibilities to the timeline, and the number continues to grow. "

The Sorcerer Supremes\' eyes looked quizzical. In those futures she saw, the other side caused both good and bad impacts.

"I wanted to choose the best one and fix it as the only ending. But you can\'t do that. There are no definite answers in countless branches. Sometimes you become the hero of the whole world, and sometimes you become the public enemy of all people. Anyway, you would always shake the world as a whole. But there is one thing in common. No one can stop you in the future, Luke."

"The power you have is unprecedented, and the room for growth is frightening. I can\'t reach the end of time and see with my own eyes what you will finally become. "

Luke pursed his lips. It was all like a simulation game with countless choices.

Every decision leads to a different direction for the story.

"This is why I came to find you. Something like a routine inquiry. "

The Sorcerer Supremes\' eyes slightly condensed, and with a serious face, she said, "Since there is no other way to solve the problem, let\'s go back to square one and have a face-to-face conversation. "

"Tell me, Luke, what is your purpose?"

Luke, who had been listening seriously for a long while, figured out what the Sorcerer Supreme was thinking.

She can\'t use the time stone to smooth out the impact he brought, so she had to speak face to face to determine his intentions and whether his presence would endanger earth.

Just like immigration, the authorities would ask various questions before you could obtain permanent residency.

\'To be honest, I feel like it\'s more like an exam. \'

Luke smiled and replied, "Survival is my first goal. "

"Then live a relaxed and secure life, without being distracted by other surprises. "

The Sorcerer Supreme was silent, seemingly using magic to confirm the truth of these words.

A moment later, she asked the following question, "What do you think of human beings?"

"A complex creature. The noblest morals and the most despicable means will be embodied in them."

Luke picked up the whisky on the table and drank it in one gulp. The cold liquid refreshed him.

"I am not some anti-human madman who takes pleasure in depriving others of their right to live. I like to drink Coke, often taste whisky, and occasionally go to Chinatown to eat Chinese food … No matter how powerful I am, I can destroy the planet with one punch. Still, I always need to satisfy my desires, power, position, and material enjoyment. These are not things I could get by killing and enslavement. "

"The last question. "

The Sorcerer Supreme nodded, seemingly agreeing with Luke\'s statement.

"What will you choose when you encounter a crisis? To protect the planet under your feet or to abandon it?"
