"For the Book of Vishanti!" Jiang Yu declared calmly.
Hearing this answer, the Ancient One was somewhat surprised.
Jiang Yu used dreamwalking to traverse the multiverse just to find the Book of Vishanti?
Taking a soft breath, the Ancient One approached Jiang Yu. "The Book of Vishanti does not exist in any multiverse."
Hmm?
What did she mean?
Jiang Yu frowned slightly.
Mordo, standing behind him, stared at Jiang Yu. "A sorcerer who has practiced dark magic is not worthy of being in Kamar-Taj."
"I believe he has not been corrupted by darkness, and even if he has, he hasn't fully fallen yet!" the Ancient One suddenly interjected.
Mordo was momentarily stunned. "But he has already practiced the Darkhold, and even performed a dreamwalk, inviting an invasion of dimensional beings!"
"He needs the Book of Vishanti!" The Ancient One glanced at Jiang Yu. "The Book of Vishanti contains methods to resist dark corruption. I think he might need this, and for a sorcerer who possesses the Darkhold, the Book of Vishanti is of no use."
Turning her head, the Ancient One patted Mordo's shoulder. "If he can resist the erosion of darkness, then what does it matter if he practices dark magic, as long as he doesn't use that power to destroy the world!"
"But..." Mordo, who adhered to absolute justice, couldn't tolerate even a speck of dust in his eye.
However, the Ancient One directly interrupted him: "Enough, let him prove it himself now!"
Turning back to Jiang Yu, the Ancient One pointed outside. "Dimensional beings have invaded all over the world. The situation in New York is very serious. I'll leave this to you. Prove to everyone that you haven't fallen into darkness!"
"Alright! No problem!"
He would naturally clean up the mess he made.
The Ancient One smiled. "Don't use dark magic!"
"I won't!"
"After you resolve this, I can teach you a portion of the Book of Vishanti's contents, especially the parts about resisting dark corruption."
Hiss!
Jiang Yu was somewhat speechless; he didn't really need that kind of content, but it was fine.
"Master, I have another request!"
Hearing this, the Ancient One was slightly taken aback, a smile on her face: "Tell me!"
"I want to become the librarian of Kamar-Taj, or be allowed to freely borrow any magic books in the library!"
"That's absolutely not allowed, a dark sorcerer..." Mordo immediately spoke up, but the Ancient One raised her hand to interrupt him.
Looking at Jiang Yu, the Ancient One frowned slightly.
Jiang Yu continued, "If there's any forbidden content in the library, Master, you can take it away beforehand. While I'm quite interested in that content too, if you're worried, I can choose not to read it!"
"Why do you want to do this?" More than the forbidden content, the Ancient One was curious as to why Jiang Yu would make such a request.
"Clearly, dark magic has some flaws. Since there are flaws, they might not be impossible to fix. It's just that..."
Jiang Yu scratched his head. "Ultimately, I haven't been in Kamar-Taj long enough. I haven't read many magic books. If I had more magical knowledge, perhaps I could find a solution!"
This idea was astonishing.
Even the Ancient One was stunned.
Someone actually wanted to fix the inherent dangers of dark magic.
This... seemed just like Vishanti in the past. As the only magic book that could contend with the Darkhold.
It was obvious that Vishanti must have understood the Darkhold to create the Book of Vishanti to counteract it.
"Wait!" Wong suddenly looked at Jiang Yu. "You mean, you want to use your power to modify the Darkhold, to turn dark magic into a usable magic without any flaws or hidden dangers?"
Although Wong had been very angry just now, as one of Jiang Yu's few good friends...
From what he knew of Jiang Yu, that's exactly what Jiang Yu meant.
Mordo looked at Jiang Yu with a hint of mockery. "A ridiculous idea..."
"No!" The Ancient One looked at Mordo, then turned her gaze to Jiang Yu, her eyes showing admiration. "Geniuses often have unique ideas. Do you want to become the next Vishanti?"
"The next Vishanti?" Jiang Yu was startled. He hadn't thought about that; he just wanted his magic to be more perfect.
"Exactly, but your direction seems different from Vishanti's. He aimed to counteract the Darkhold, while you want to change it."
This idea was something even the Ancient One had never considered. Was this the unique way of thinking of the people from China?
Nothing is impossible to change; human effort can overcome everything.
The Ancient One really wanted to see if Jiang Yu could achieve it.
He was, in her eyes, the most astonishingly talented disciple, even surpassing Strange.
"After you deal with the dimensional beings, you can become the librarian of Kamar-Taj, and... compared to the Darkhold!"
Looking at the black-covered book hanging at Jiang Yu's waist.
"Other forbidden books should not be forbidden to you."
"Good!" Jiang Yu nodded, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers!
A dimensional portal opened behind him.
"I'll go deal with those little troubles now!"
Mordo stared blankly at Jiang Yu. This guy didn't seem to use a Sling Ring?
Did he just open a dimensional portal so casually?
"I wish you success!"
The Ancient One no longer had any doubts about Jiang Yu, because Jiang Yu's way of thinking wasn't that of someone attracted by the power of the Darkhold; he even began to think the Darkhold was imperfect.
Such a person, even if corrupted by darkness, would only become an existence that transcends darkness.
Chapter 12: The Power of an Untainted Body
Boom!!!
More than half of the thick wall was instantly destroyed.
Tony Stark stared at the inexplicably exploding wall in front of him, completely stunned!
"What happened?"
Inside Stark Tower!
Tony was looking at the shattered wall in front of him, puzzled.
"Hey! Jarvis!"
"Are there any wires or anything else in that wall?"
Soon, Jarvis's voice echoed in the room: "Not to my knowledge, sir!"
"No?"
If not, then why would a perfectly fine wall suddenly explode?
Was someone playing a prank?
Thump thump!
The ground began to shake slightly. Tony looked at the indented floor in front of him; these were clearly some kind of footprints.
It seemed something he couldn't see was approaching him.
Tony frowned, slowly backing away.
He wasn't wearing his Iron Man suit at the moment; in other words, he was just a smart ordinary person.
Suddenly, Tony felt a huge impact in his abdomen, and he was sent flying backward.
The glass on the top floor of the tower shattered.
"It's over..."
In that instant, Tony had only one thought: he had been attacked by some unknown entity.
And if he free-fell now, his only fate would be to become a puddle of flesh.
Fuck!
Tony was cursing when he vaguely saw a blurred silhouette jump out from above and pounce directly at him.
What was this thing? It didn't look human.
It looked more like some kind of monster.
And it still wasn't willing to let him go, even in this state.
Just as Tony felt helpless...
In his eyes, Stark Tower seemed to be rapidly shifting like building blocks.
And the next second, his body stopped its rapid descent.
In the instant Tony was stunned, a huge, strangely shaped blade swung down directly at him.
A magical shield, composed of countless sparks, directly blocked in front of Tony.
"What is this...?"
As Tony curiously looked at the magical shield in front of him, the next second, the ground seemed to be suddenly pulled.
Tony felt his vision blur, and the next second he appeared hundreds of meters away from the monster that had attacked him.
A monster with blade-like arms, covered in strange spikes, and a human-like form, was roaring at Tony from a distance.
"You should go!"
Whose voice was that?
Tony suddenly turned his head, only vaguely seeing a head of black hair, a young man in a black suit, leaping past his side.
The next second, a dimensional portal appeared above Tony's head, dropping down and removing Tony from the Mirror Dimension.
Jiang Yu clapped his hands and looked at the dimensional being in front of him.
"Targeting Tony Stark, is it a coincidence? Or were you given orders by some entity?"
Jiang Yu pondered, chin in hand, but the dimensional being that had burst out clearly wouldn't give Jiang Yu much time to think.
It charged rapidly towards Jiang Yu.
Roaring, it swung its giant blade-like arm at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu looked up at it, shaking his head gently.
His left and right hands crossed, then his fingers clenched tightly.
The next second, the ground began to fold rapidly, the left and right sides quickly converging.
Like two giant walls, squeezing towards the center.
And this dimensional being, without surprise, was directly crushed into fragments by the folding ground.
Turning his head, Jiang Yu looked elsewhere; there were still many dimensional beings in New York.
Not just this one; a rough estimate put it at over thirty, rampaging and destroying in various places.
Jiang Yu took a deep breath.
He channeled his power and slammed his hand onto the ground.
The next second, the Mirror Dimension began to expand rapidly from Jiang Yu's center, encompassing the entire New York.
Meanwhile, the Ancient One, in the Sanctum Sanctorum, felt such a powerful magical fluctuation and looked out the window.
'Amazing talent!'
'To be able to pull all of New York into the Mirror Dimension without relying on dark magic!'
'Is this your power... Jiang Yu!'
