"It's good to be confident, but I still want to remind you, this time, the situation is not a small matter," The Ancient One drank her tea slowly, but her words made Kurohane's back tingle. "Personally, I suggest you wear the Infinity Gauntlet and three Infinity Stones."
Then Kurohane decisively opened Wanda's palm, went to the shelf, and took the Infinity Gauntlet. After putting the Mind Stone in it, he put on a full-body armor made of Uru.
Seeing Kurohane busy arming himself, Sylvie and Wanda were bewildered. The braggart who had just boasted a moment ago had now turned into a coward who was busy preparing. His change in attitude made people laugh. Kurohane carefully checked his equipment and found there was nothing else he could reinforce.
"Master, can you give me a little information?"
"If I could say it, wouldn't I have told you earlier? I'm not Doctor Strange, I can't ignore the laws of the multiverse."
"Well, in the end, I have to rely on myself." Kurohane stretched his arms and legs, then turned around and smiled at the worried Wanda. Without looking back, he walked into the portal, and his figure disappeared along with the portal.
Wanda immediately turned and stared at The Ancient One. "Master The Ancient One, Kurohane will be fine, right?"
"What else could happen to him? I was just trying to scare him just now," The Ancient One replied. She looked at Wanda, who was wearing a red leather jacket and jeans, and smiled with satisfaction. "Do you want to become stronger?"
"Of course!"
"Then from now on, you can call me master!"
"Hello, master!"
Sylvie's eyes on the side also lit up. She stared at The Ancient One with twinkling eyes. Although she had learned a lot of magic in Asgard, there were not many opportunities to learn with The Ancient One. She had to seize this opportunity!
"Master! Can I also listen in?"
"Of course."
After Kurohane entered the portal, the scene in front of him completely shocked him! There was a group of different versions of Loki, sitting together with sad faces. The Loki from his universe was the most insignificant because his divine power was sealed. He couldn't use magic, and his physical fitness was only comparable to ordinary people. No matter what he did, he could only play a supporting role.
Kurohane's arrival was like a stone breaking the calm water, attracting everyone's attention. An old Loki wearing a green bodysuit frowned and stared at Kurohane. "Which universe are you from, Loki? Why are you wearing such a yellowish color? Where is the green you're supposed to be wearing?"
"Loki, the greatest magician of the Nine Realms? That's interesting!" Kurohane didn't care who these Lokis were. He just wanted to bring the Loki from his universe back with him. He quickly walked to Loki's side, lifted him up, and smiled. "You didn't think I couldn't find you if you hid here, did you? Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Kurohane's arrogant attitude annoyed most of the Lokis. Even with the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Stones in his hands, he couldn't intimidate them. They were in a place where they couldn't use any magic, and the Infinity Stones were just beautiful stones. They all stood up and stared at Kurohane with unfriendly expressions.
"Ooh! Calm down, all you Lokis, this guy has more than just Infinity Stones. You don't want to get beaten by him. This guy won't hold back when he hits!" The Loki who was held by his collar by Kurohane reached out, trying to stop the other Lokis from defying Kurohane. He wasn't worried that Kurohane would get beaten, but he was worried that Kurohane would get too excited and beat up innocent children as well!
Ouch!
A crocodile wearing a stag helmet appeared out of nowhere and pounced toward Kurohane, opening its mouth wide toward Kurohane's crotch! Kurohane smiled, extended his left hand with the Gauntlet toward the crocodile Loki's mouth, and directly landed a punch on its stomach!
Belch!
"This crocodile leather glove is quite good, and there's a helmet as a decoration!" Kurohane put down the Loki from his universe, then walked toward the other Lokis with a grim smile. When his power grew, Kurohane decided he wouldn't tolerate any bullying, he would fight first, talk later! The final truth of the matter was not important, at least not now.
"Shut up, or I'll accidentally hurt you."
"Okay! I won't move!" The Loki from Kurohane's universe stood there obediently, not moving an inch, watching Kurohane charge into the crowd. He beat them one by one, making them cry, without using any magical power. Kurohane's speed and strength were not comparable to these Lokis. There were more than a dozen Lokis, but they couldn't even escape. The one who ran the farthest was the child Loki. Even the Loki who was the only one to kill his brother Thor couldn't run away. Although he escaped after Kurohane caught the crocodile Loki, he still couldn't escape the fate of being hit on the head by the crocodile!
The fight was one-sided. After thirty seconds, only Kurohane was standing. Looking at the fallen Lokis, Kurohane was very satisfied with his work. Then he asked the standing Loki, "What's going on? What are you planning with so many Lokis gathered?"
"Um... Loki, the God of Stories, needs help, but the only one who can help him is a Loki, so that's why we were summoned here."
From Loki's mouth, Kurohane finally understood the story. In a parallel universe controlled by the God of Stories, the birth of Ultron killed most of the superheroes. After controlling the six Infinity Stones and killing all humans, in order to save the universe, the remaining superheroes let Wolverine travel back in time to kill Dr. Hank Pym, the person who created Ultron. They wanted to change the future, but it was not easy for Wolverine to change the past alone. He needed a lot of effort, and the numerous time travels affected the stability of time. If left alone, all the parallel universes would collide, and everyone would be destroyed in the end! The God of Stories said this must be stopped immediately!
"Wait, I feel a little familiar with this plot... Hold on!" Kurohane interrupted Loki's story and rubbed his temples. "Isn't this the 2015 Secret Wars?!"
