[You Are the True God]

The Brotherhood of SHIELD. traces its origins back thousands of years as an organization founded by human sages to combat external threats, serving as a precursor to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Many of history's great sages have been members of the Aegis Brotherhood, including Da Vinci, Galileo, Newton, Tesla, and Zhang Heng...

Plato and Aristotle, two of the three ancient Greek sages, not only joined the Aegis Brotherhood but eventually rose to leadership positions within the organization, a natural progression.

Although Forseti had limited knowledge of comics, he had heard of the Aegis Brotherhood.

"Do you have a name?" Aristotle inquired.

"Forseti," Forseti replied.

Several white-robed students approached from nearby, including the two youths Forseti had encountered the previous day.

"Teacher, are you..." The white-robed students looked concernedly at the frail Plato.

Aristotle reassured them, "The teacher is fine."

"It's you!" The young man who had clashed with Forseti the day before exclaimed, his eyes widening as he approached.

Aristotle immediately intervened, "Forseti is the one who saved the teacher. What is the meaning of this?"

"He saved the teacher?" The young man couldn't believe it.

Aristotle recounted the recent events, prompting several white-robed students to thank Forseti one after another, despite their previous disagreements.

The youth with the distinctive face said, "Hello, my name is Agamotto. I apologize for my behavior yesterday."

Agamotto?

Forseti felt a sense of familiarity with the name. After pondering for a moment, he recalled that the Time Stone was known as the "Eye of Agamotto." It seemed that this distinctive-faced youth was an predecessor of Doctor Strange.

Unexpectedly, Agamotto turned out to be Plato's disciple and a member of the Brotherhood of SHIELD.

Aristotle and the others supported the still-weak and weary Plato, inviting Forseti, "If you don't mind, please come with us to the academy."

Forseti followed Aristotle and Agamotto to Akademi Academy.

Along the way,

Although Plato was extremely frail, his eyes sparkled brightly, observing Forseti intently...

Upon arriving at the academy, Plato was escorted to rest, while Aristotle took on the task of hosting Forseti, and the two began conversing.

Although Forseti had heard of the Brotherhood of the Shield, his knowledge was limited. Reflecting for a moment, he asked, "Mr. Aristotle, earlier you mentioned the 'Brotherhood of the Shield.' What does it signify?"

"The Brotherhood of Shield was founded over two thousand years ago by the Egyptian sage Imhotep to safeguard human tranquility..." Aristotle explained.

"Mr. Plato is the ninety-sixth prophet of the Brotherhood of Aegis, and some students at Akademi Academy are also members."

After a pause, Aristotle added, "However, we are now considered rebels by Apocalypse and must remain underground. Please do not divulge this to anyone."

Forseti responded earnestly, "Rest assured, I hold Mr. Plato in high regard. I would never betray his trust."

Aristotle inquired further, "Forseti, if I may ask, where did you acquire your knowledge of magic?"

"Through familial inheritance."

Forseti kept his response brief, and Aristotle did not press for more details.

Forseti then asked, "Does Akademi Academy teach magic as well?"

"To be precise, only students who have joined the Brotherhood can learn magic from Teacher Plato. Ordinary students are unaware of magic's existence at Akademi Academy," Aristotle disclosed.

"Of course, Apocalypse has strictly prohibited magic for millennia. Countless magical texts have been destroyed, and many skilled sorcerers persecuted... Thus, our understanding of magic remains limited."

"Within the academy, only Agamotto possesses truly formidable magical abilities. He is an undisputed prodigy in the field of magic."

Forseti questioned, "Is Agamotto's magic superior to Mr. Plato's?"

"Yes, even the teacher acknowledges it."

"Boom!"

As they conversed, the sound of clashing metal rang out suddenly. Forseti turned to see several students practicing swordsmanship in an open area.

Forseti remarked, "Is swordsmanship also part of Akademi Academy's curriculum?"

"Yes, swordsmanship is mandatory for all students at Akademi Academy," Aristotle confirmed.

"Aristotle, Teacher Plato has summoned you." At that moment, Agamotto approached. "Forseti, please come with me as well."

Forseti followed Aristotle and Agamotto, eventually entering a chamber where Plato lay resting, appearing somewhat improved.

"Esteemed guest, greetings..." Plato greeted Forseti as he struggled to sit up.

Forseti also greeted him, "Mr. Plato."

The disciples nearby hastened to assist Plato.

With their support, Plato managed to half-sit on the bed before suddenly sighing, "I think of my teacher, Socrates..."

"I was only twenty-eight years old then. Teacher Socrates was accused of impiety by Certainly! Here is the revised chapter with the requested changes:

[You Are the True God]

The Brotherhood of S.H.I.E.L.D. traces its origins back thousands of years as an organization founded by human sages to combat external threats, serving as a precursor to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Many of history's great sages have been members of the Aegis Brotherhood, including Da Vinci, Galileo, Newton, Tesla, and Zhang Heng...

Agamotto?

Forseti felt a sense of familiarity with the name. After pondering for a moment, he recalled that the Time Stone was known as the "Eye of Agamotto." It seemed that this distinctive-faced youth was an ancestor of Doctor Strange.

Unexpectedly, Agamotto turned out to be Plato's disciple and a member of the Aegis Brotherhood.

Aristotle and the others supported the still-weak and weary Plato, inviting Forseti, "If you don't mind, please come with us to the academy."

Forseti also greeted him, "Mr. Plato."

The disciples nearby hastened to assist Plato.

With their support, Plato managed to half-sit on the bed before suddenly sighing, "I think of my teacher, Socrates..."

"I was only twenty-eight years old then. Teacher Socrates was accused of impiety by Cybenetus and publicly drank poisoned wine, passing away before all of us disciples. I still recall the color of the poison and the sorrowful scene of his passing."

Cybenetus is the present-day capital of Egypt, where 'disrespecting God' is equated with defying Apocalypse, who fancies himself a deity.

"I had hoped to fulfill Teacher Socrates' final wish—to overthrow the false god, Apocalypse—before I joined him."

Aristotle reassured him, "Teacher, rest assured. We will carry on your and Socrates' legacy. The false gods will eventually be brought low by our hands."

Plato fell silent momentarily, then turned to Forseti with earnestness, "Dear visitor, forgive me... For millennia, the people of this world have endured the rule of false gods. We seek to overthrow them, but our resistance is feeble."

"We need your strength. Therefore, I earnestly ask... Would you consider leading the Brotherhood of the Shield?"

His words stunned all present, particularly Aristotle, who exclaimed, "Teacher!"

Plato continued, "Though this request may seem sudden, I hold great admiration for the Brotherhood of the Shield. Yet, I am not even a member. How could I lead such an esteemed organization?"

"But you can," Plato asserted, his voice tinged with excitement despite his labored breathing, "because you are not merely a mortal. You are a true god."

Forseti was taken aback by Plato's proclamation, while the disciples exchanged puzzled glances.

Clutching his chest, Plato gasped for breath before continuing, "I once encountered a god from Titan with Teacher Socrates. From him, I learned of the truths of divinity... I know what it means to be a true god, just as I recognize the falsehood of false gods."

"I sense your power and nobility. The Brotherhood of the Shield needs the guidance of a true god to overthrow Cybenetus, the false god!"
