At this moment, Lin Feng, who had just finished writing in his diary, was rubbing his hands together, having specifically taken a bath before preparing to draw a prize. He was all about the ritual.
He had to draw something good this time; today was the day he'd escape his streak of bad luck.
"Draw!"
Lin Feng said.
In front of him, a translucent spinning wheel spun rapidly, and after a moment, it finally stopped in one of the sections.
"Ding, this round of the draw is complete. Congratulations to the host for drawing a magic book, Kamar-Taj Magic: From Beginner to Master (Part 1)!"
Lin Feng stared at the magic book that suddenly appeared in front of him, and was immediately a little dumbfounded. What was this thing?
He immediately took the magical book. It was an exquisitely crafted book with a simple, antique design and a faint glow of energy. When he opened it, he found that it contained the magic of Kamar-Taj.
First was the Meditation Technique, the foundation of Kamar-Taj magic. Through this technique, one could establish a connection with certain Dimensional Gods, and then borrow the magical energy needed to cast spells from these Dimensional Gods.
The so-called debt that Kamar-Taj mages had to repay was due to this. The more you "borrowed", the more you had to pay back later.
Of course, there were those like the Ancient One, who had become so powerful that what could you even do if she "borrowed" from you?
The Ancient One had not only "borrowed" from Dormammu, but also from the Vishanti, and ultimately escaped the debt by faking her death.
In addition, the book recorded three spells.
The first was the Portal, which Lin Feng had been longing for. To be precise, its official name was the Dimensional Door. With this portal, he could go wherever he wanted. Didn't Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, open a portal from Titan back to Earth?
It was absolutely unstoppable. No need for spaceships anymore.
That's just how unreasonable magic-based abilities were.
The second one was the Mirror Dimension, the very spell that ultimately led to the Ancient One's tragic demise. Yes, that's right, the spell that burned through the special effects budget and forced the Ancient One to make an early exit.
The third was the Shield of the Seraphim, a defensive spell hailed as the strongest magical shield. Its defensive strength increased with the user's power, capable of warding off both physical and magical attacks, directly addressing Lin Feng's weaknesses.
Upon seeing this book, "Kamar-Taj Magic: From Beginner to Mastery (Volume 1)," Lin Feng was overjoyed. He had indeed successfully escaped his unfortunate circumstances; this was a massive win.
These were the magical abilities he had longed for.
He had been envious of those mages' abilities for a long time, but he dared not seek out the Ancient One to learn, fearing it would affect the timeline.
It wasn't just the Ancient One, a powerhouse of the celestial level, that he feared. More importantly, he was afraid of altering the timeline, which could potentially prevent Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, from becoming Doctor Strange. It wasn't impossible.
As long as it wasn't the so-called sacred timeline, anything could happen to the various timelines.
Then, who would deal with Dormammu?
Also, if Doctor Strange goes astray and becomes a Dark Strange, who's to blame?
That's why he always avoids the magic side.
Now he can be certain that his timeline isn't normal; it's even been invaded by characters from the DC world, like Wonder Woman. Normally, this should make him a heretic in the eyes of the TVA.
His feelings toward the TVA are also complicated. If the TVA were still so dominant, his timeline might have been erased from the start, leaving him unable to even speak.
Especially when he first transmigrated; he was just an ordinary person, and they could have erased him from the source, leaving him powerless.
He doesn't even know if Kang the Conqueror has been killed by Loki because the concept of timelines in the Marvel world doesn't develop gradually over time.
Instead, an entire timeline is formed in an instant. Right now, even though he hasn't been erased, it might just be that it's not the TVA's time to act yet. Once they do, they'll erase him from the source.
Who knows if the source of his timeline has already been eliminated? As a downstream element of the timeline, he can't sense what's happening upstream.
The feeling of having your fate completely controlled by others was truly awful.
But the existence of the TVA had its advantages. The timeline was completely nailed down by Kang the Conqueror, so there was no need to worry about any accidents. One by one, the villains would eventually be defeated by the superheroes, and ultimately, justice would prevail over evil.
That was the mainstream narrative of the movies.
But after the TVA ceased to exist, countless possibilities emerged. For example, the Avengers battling Thanos. Out of fourteen million possible futures, only one resulted in victory. And even that couldn't be directly stated, otherwise, it wouldn't work. In other words, the Avengers had to be wiped out over fourteen million times to achieve victory just once.
The future was completely uncertain. It was possible that Earth would be devoured by Dormammu, conquered by Asgard, conquered by the Chitauri, or even that the entire universe would be brought to collapse by Doctor Strange, and other such reversals.
Even beings like the Celestials weren't safe. He needed to be even stronger, at least reaching the level of a single universe, breaking free from the constraints of the timeline. To put it in more Eastern fantasy terms, he needed to "step outside the Three Realms, and not be among the Five Elements."
So, he was also very troubled right now.
But now that he had another channel to learn magic, that was great.
Lin Feng immediately checked it out, silently recording the Meditation Technique in his mind, and then recording the other three spells. He then locked the spellbook and diary together in a safe.
Lin Feng began to try the Meditation Technique, following the instructions for breathing, meditating, and practicing.
According to the magic book, it usually takes a long time for ordinary people to vaguely sense those extraordinary existences, and then communicate with them to gain something.
But Lin Feng felt it immediately the first time he meditated. His mental perception expanded infinitely. He didn't know if he was naturally gifted, or if it was because his body had undergone two modifications, making him different from ordinary people.
The first time, he felt as if he was in a vast universe. Then, powerful auras and energies in the distance, like giant stars in this universe, shone and attracted his attention.
It even felt as if countless low voices were whispering in his ear, tempting him to communicate with them.
Among them were majestic and solemn energies, chaotic and disordered energies, and many evil, terrifying, and corrupting energies.
Lin Feng immediately realized that these should be the three major factions of magic: White Magic, Black Magic, and Chaos Magic.
White Magic was the source of magic power for the mages of Kamar-Taj, and also the legendary trinity of gods, the Vishanti.
These three ancient gods are the source of all White Magic users and the fundamental power that maintains order in the world.
As for so-called Black Magic, the masters behind it are Dimensional Gods similar to Dormammu. Many of them are evil and corrupted gods who were defeated and exiled during the ancient wars on Earth.
Dormammu is just one of them.
There's another faction, the so-called Chaos Magic. Behind these spells stand Chaos Gods. Many of these Chaos Gods have been dead for many years, so much so that Chaos Magic was considered nonexistent for a long time. Even Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, didn't believe in Chaos Magic until Scarlet Witch emerged.
These powerful beings now seem to have discovered something extraordinary and are frantically surging towards Lin Feng, whispering in his ear, trying to get him to borrow their magic.
Of course, once he borrows their magic, he'll have to pay it back.
Lin Feng is very puzzled. Generally speaking, the Meditation Technique of Kamar-Taj can only communicate with the Vishanti. Many magicians need summoning rituals related to the respective gods to contact other Dimensional Gods.
For example, Kaecilius obtained a summoning ritual for Dormammu from the magical books of Kamar-Taj.
Each Dimensional God communicated differently; it was highly unlikely that a situation like Lin Feng's would occur, where everything was mixed together. It was also possible that this Meditation Technique was the result of a system modification.
Faced with the temptations of these Dimensional Gods, Lin Feng immediately thought, "Only children make choices; I want them all!"
Anyway, owing one was the same as owing a hundred; there was no difference.
As for being chased for the debt in the future?
Who would beat whom was still uncertain. Just like the Ancient One, her strength had reached the point where she could drive away Dormammu, who came to collect the debt, so she wasn't afraid of being chased.
Anyway, he had a long life. Just injecting the Super Soldier Serum would likely allow him to live securely for over two hundred years; this was based on Captain America's lifespan.
Furthermore, after being modified with the Homelander template, his life essence was further enhanced. Even compared to Thor, a long-lived member of the Asgardian royal family, living for a few hundred years should be no problem.
By that time, who knew how many good things he could draw, perhaps even surpassing these Dimensional Gods.
If that day came, he would simply shrug his shoulders and innocently look at them, "I borrowed it with my ability, why should I return it?"
Wasn't that reasonable?
Lin Feng immediately contacted all the Dimensional Gods he could sense and absorbed their powers into his body, continuously transforming them into magic.
