The Death Knell

Gu Yi's answer was beyond the doctor's expectation. He thought it would be some other good character, but he didn't expect it to be his fists.

He suddenly looked embarrassed.

As for mages, isn't this the same as choosing a chief among barbarians?

Su Ming knew that this was true. In every dimension, Emperor Weishan would hold a battle for supremacy every few years.

The process is to lock all the participants in a small space and let them play battle royale. There are no restrictions on means and strategies. Props and contracts can also be used casually. The winner takes all.

There is no need to kill everyone, but the person standing at the end is the Supreme Mage of this dimension.

Only with enough power can we maintain the security of the dimension and the earth, otherwise this would not be the Marvel Universe, but the Virgin White Lotus Universe.

Even if you are a good person throughout the world, you will not be chosen if you have no power.

It's just that Gu Yi is too strong now. If she participates in the battle, the other players will simply abstain, so she has been firmly seated as the Supreme Mage.

The battle for supremacy in the main dimension is like a fiction.

If Gu Yi wants him to take over, she only needs to take him to participate in the battle next time, and then she takes the initiative to admit defeat. The position of Supreme Mage will be recognized by Emperor Weishan and fall on Su Ming.

With just two contestants, what else is there to say?

What? You said he is a warrior and not a mage? Ancient One will make you realize the truth. Whoever she said is a mage must be...

"No, thank you for your consideration, but I have no sense of responsibility at all. If you ask me to protect the earth and squat in the temple every day waiting for someone to knock on the door, you might as well kill me."

Su Ming would not accept her kindness.

Magic is truly valuable, but the supreme price is even higher. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.

Occasionally, for self-protection or to be in a good mood, it is okay to mix in and defend the earth, but it is not necessary to make a living. The Supreme Mage has to open one eye while sleeping to prevent being attacked by some evil god. This is not Su Ming. The life you want.

"It's a pity. After all, that gem told me that you had a great experience and you protected a world."

Gu Yi put down the tea cup and sighed. She had been thinking about letting go of this burden for a long time.

Deathstroke is a human on Earth who has been recognized by the magic floating cloak, has the strength to defeat almost all mages, and is immune to psychic magic.

So what is the difference between the Supreme Warrior and the Supreme Mage? Even if you are not good at magic, with the Time Stone, you will have at least tens of thousands more years to learn magic. Are you still worried about not being able to learn it?

But Su Ming doesn't want to learn at all. It's best to rely on yourself for many things. Evil gods and demon gods are unreliable. Magic is borrowed from their power. What if they are not willing to lend it to you? This is not the case in comics.

Not to mention the side effects.

Gu Yi looked at Su Ming, who had a look of rejection, and sighed. Those who could become the Supreme Mage were not willing to do so, but those who were not qualified to become the Supreme Mage were scrambling to be the first.

What a weird circle.

The Druid doesn't want to be the Supreme Mage at all, and he often hides in another dimension before the battle for the Supreme.

Jibo had rebelled, and it was only a matter of minutes before Gu Yi wanted to capture him, but she wanted to see how much power he could gain and whether he could become the Supreme Mage, but he couldn't, and he just flew away with his butt in his hands.

Modo is talented and has a paranoid sense of justice, but his personality is too extreme and his strength is average, not enough to take on important responsibilities.

Casillas is a newbie. He is too realistic, but it is easier for him to surrender to the enemy because of his strength and give up the earth to the enemy.

Ancient One admitted that he was a little anxious.

Deathstroke was very easy to operate as the Supreme Mage. He was the strongest warrior she had ever seen. He was almost the same as the legendary Chosen One. Whether it was brute force or magic, he only needed to knock down the enemy.

Moreover, Deathstroke has no bottom line compared to her, and doesn't care about image or anything like that when using tactics. Tactics are dirty but useful. Protecting the earth requires means, and she does the same.

It's a pity that I was rejected.

Gu Yiping calmed down and put away his regret. If she could persist for a few decades, let's see what happens. If there was still no other suitable candidate after several decades, Ancient One would simply commit suicide and leave his last words to Emperor Weishan to appoint the next Supreme Mage.

Although this operation makes the supreme position a bit unstable, Emperor Weishan can just admit it. Even if Deathstroke wants to refuse, he can't refuse...

Su Ming, who had no idea what Gu Yi was thinking, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem, I'll take my leave then. You're quite busy here, aren't you...?"

I can't sit anymore. This is like a pot coming from the sky. If I have to sit and chat for a while, I don't know what Gu Yi will think. If she suddenly becomes unreasonable like an ordinary woman, it will be troublesome.

"Hey, you don't listen to me. Watch me beat your chest with the power of Emperor Weishan and the Time Stone..."

It's scary. Although Gu Yi's character is not like that, but now she is suppressing the cost of casting spells. What if she suddenly goes insane?

So it's better to escape first and return to New York quickly to see if Gin or Gang Leader Qiao has any information.

"Stay." Gu Yi raised his palm to signal Su Ming to wait: "You will be provided with some help here."

"Huh?" Su Ming stopped again. If there is any benefit, he must stay. But didn't he say before that he couldn't help?

As if aware of his doubts, Ancient One explained: "I said that the 'people' of Kama Taj will not help you. The rules are the rules, but if they are not people, then it is a different matter... ."

The three people's eyes fell on the magic floating cloak. It shook as if it was electrocuted and turned towards the Supreme Mage. But Gu Yi nodded firmly.

The cloak swayed for a while, as if hesitating, then it flew to the side of the Supreme Mage, handed the gem to Gu Yi and asked her to keep it for her, then it flew behind Su Ming, draped it directly on his shoulders, and became motionless. .

The corner of Su Ming's mouth twitched. After putting on the cloak, Gu Yi, what's the matter with that flash of light in your eyes? Why are you looking at me like a son-in-law? ! I don’t want to be the Supreme Mage!

Gu Yi shifted her gaze and watched the tea in the teacup ripple. She changed the subject: "I can't answer your questions. There are more than just Karma Taj on earth. There are magicians. You go to the London Temple and walk for a while." , there is a mage there who will also help you, and I will send him a message."

Su Ming frowned and recalled, a British mage... There is indeed no problem in terms of position, but the strength is not enough? I am not traveling now.

But that's it, it's always a good thing to have a mage.

"Okay, thank you. Oh, I also took your symbiote with me. It wants to follow me."

Gu nodded, it was nothing more than an experimental subject. The symbiote 'dragon' hundreds of years ago was defeated by Thor and split into many symbiote spores, which were scattered throughout the earth.

Organizations with a little bit of background have one or two that they use for research.

This symbiote has been kept in Karma Taj for a while, but nothing has been researched. Besides, she knows where the symbiote planet is, and she can just catch the symbiote if she wants.

"This may be its fate. Anyway, I believe you have the ability to take good care of it."

"Also, I have another question. I always feel like I'm being targeted by something. The scientists in my company, you know..." Su Ming let the symbiote cover his face, and then put on the helmet. , after seeing Gu Yi express his knowledge, he continued to ask: "They seem to be under a confusion spell. My scientific research cannot go in many directions. Do you know what's going on?"

Gu Yi pondered for a moment and leaned on the chair to regain his strength: "First of all, I have never heard of your so-called confusion spell. Secondly, I don't know much about technology, but it is also a great power. And it’s hard for outsiders to see the true face.”

"Is that so..." Su Ming nodded. This was also a strange thing, and he had no clue.

"However, generally such incomprehensible things are either related to time or cause and effect, and the world will not target any one person. Would you target a grain of dust on the roadside? Have you thought about it and thought that someone is using hostility to You are frustrated, but have you considered whether you or your friends might do this in the future?"

Gu Yi added some of her thoughts. She couldn't see clearly about this matter. It was like there was a fog around Deathstroke. Many things about him were unclear, including herself, because of her contact with him. , fate is also blurred.

Originally, she had used the time stone to see her successor, but that face seemed to have disappeared in the long river of time. She saw and lost it again, which is why she was so melancholy.

It's not that Su Ming hasn't thought about it, but there are too many suspects and he has no clue.

"Okay, it's just a little doubtful. It's not a big deal." Anyway, things will be answered one day, and he will have his own solution at that time: "I'll leave first, and you can have a good rest."

He and Holloway walked out of the side hall. As long as they asked anyone, they could go to the London Temple through the fixed portal. If the British mage was good enough, he should be able to find out the news about Namor soon.

Gu Yi waved his hand, and the incense burner in the side hall was lit together. She watched the two figures leave through the green smoke, with a strange expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
