Chapter 7: Unexpected Visitor
Busy time always passes quickly. Eric has been staying in his secret laboratory since he got the super soldier serum. When he came out again, it was already December 25th.
Christmas is here, the streets are full of Christmas trees, Santa Claus decorations, everyone's faces are beaming, and children are running around happily in Santa hats. The festive scene is very similar to his past life.
Magneto does not have the custom of Christmas, and Eric also did not inherit this tradition. He just stayed in the laboratory for too long and came out to breathe.
The transformation of the Jade Bed has finally been completed. It uses a magnetic field to generate specific electromagnetic pulses to stimulate the brain nerves, hypothalamus, pituitary gland and other tissues to produce or inhibit specific hormones, thereby controlling people's emotions. This is a very practical little skill. In the Emperor Thanos Universe, he once used this skill to interfere with Tony Stark's brain nerves and make him instantly coma.
The Howards also survived, but Eric did not irradiate them with life rays, but put them into a simplified version of the cradle of regeneration, which is the "coffin", which has a feeling of being buried together...
The regenerative cradle guarantees their basic survival, but there is not enough energy supply, and their cell transformation can only proceed at the speed of a snail. This is Eric's intention, so that he can observe the effect of the medicine more carefully and collect data.
The disappearance of the Howards caused a lot of shock. Major media rushed to report. Tony Stark released a reward of hundreds of millions of dollars. The Pentagon directly sent the army to search. Unfortunately, in the end, except for the crashed car, what else? None were found.
The only camera that could capture what happened was destroyed by Eric long before the incident.
Thinking about his layout carefully, there was nothing missing, Eric sighed in relief, he was going to rest for two days, adjust his mental state, and then inject the medicine.
In order to welcome his upcoming new life, Eric happily bought a red wine and prepared to start a meat meal. Magneto is very self-disciplined about his diet. In his later years, he hardly drank a drop of alcohol. When Eric took control of his body, he was busy planning to run away, and he had no leisure time to enjoy it, so he had not smelled alcohol for decades.
"Want to invite me for a drink? Mr. Magneto?" A voice suddenly sounded behind him. Eric's hairs stood upside down, his supernatural powers agitated, and the magnetic field protection was instantly activated, controlling metals within 100 meters, ready to attack at any time.
"You are a little nervous, relax, Mr. Magneto, if you don't want to drink, we can also have a cup of tea." The voice sounded again, and Eric only felt a flash in front of his eyes. and he instantly left the noisy New York neighborhood and came to a restaurant. In the quaint study room, the red wine in his hand has also become a cup of tea, exuding it's fragrance.
At this moment, he regained his senses and carefully looked at the person next to him, the yellow monk's robe, the bright bald head, and Eric recognized her with just one glance.
"It turned out to be Master Sorcerer Supreme." Knowing who it was, Eric breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he could not hide the fact that he was traveling through the universe, and Ancient One would look for him sooner or later. he breathed, took a sip of the tea, which was very fragrant and refreshing, "Tea is good."
"Of course, this is a tea from a tree cultivated by Kama Taj itself, If you like it, I can give you more" Ancient One sat cross-legged opposite Eric, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
"That's great!" Eric drank the tea in the cup with a smile, but the tea in the cup slowly rose back up.
"Tea is not like this, you should taste it carefully, feel the life of tea, the joy of germination, the passion of blooming, the bitterness of picking, the refining of tea making, and the perfection of brewing."
Hearing this, Eric took a sip again, savored it between his lips and teeth, swallowed slowly, opened his mouth and inhaled, a fragrance suddenly made his mind clear.
Ancient One nodded approvingly, "It seems that Mr.Magneto also understands the tea ceremony."
"Respected Sorcerer Supreme, did you arrest me just to invite me for tea?" Eric shook his head, put down the teacup, and looked directly at her, "Also, I'm not Magneto, I'm Viscount Charles Lehnsherr."
Ancient One was silent for a moment, then waved her hand.
"Three months ago, our universe was penetrated by a powerful energy. I began to think that another dimension demon was wreaking havoc again, but I didn't expect someone to actually penetrate the barrier between the two parallel universes."
Eric stared at the vision in front of him, and saw two hazy light clusters the size of balloons floating in the air without affecting each other. Suddenly, a thin line was connected between the two light clusters.
Ancient One waved her hand again, and the illusion suddenly magnified. The originally thin silk thread became a vortex with the thickness of the arm. The two light clusters were connected to each with the vortex, and colorful energy flowed in the vortex.
"The connection of the two universes is equivalent to puncturing the two balloons at the same time, and then sticking them together, the possibility of both universes exploding is more than 90%, Viscount Lehnsherr, I admire your courage very much!"
Eric looked at the vision in front of him, and was immediately apprehensive. He didn't know this at that time. He only wanted to escape, and he didn't have the mood to care about the big things in the universe. Besides, he didn't have such a high vision...
"It didn't blow up..." Eric whispered.
"Of course it won't explode. There are higher-level existences who will help you fill this hole." A/O controlled the illusion to turn half a circle. From this angle, you can see that the passage between the two universes suddenly deformed and broke open, then the energy returns to their respective universes, the holes in the two universes are repaired, and everything seems to have never happened.
Eric frowned, his eyes fixed on the illusion for a moment, "Can I see it again?"
A/O didn't say anything, and played the illusion again. This time, he also carefully adjusted the color of the light group to make the passage more conspicuous, then one can see that there was an invisible giant hand on the passage, waving randomly.
"Sure enough, what I felt at the time was not wrong..." Eric muttered to himself. When he was passing through the universe channel, he vaguely felt that someone was watching him. Of course, it was not because he was strong that he felt it, but that powerful presence allowed Eric to know his presence.
There are many existences in the Marvel Universe that can achieve this level, but there seems to be only one who has a reason to take action, "That one, why did he take action?"
"His mind is not something we can speculate." A/O waved his hand to put away the illusion, "At first I thought that he needed you to do something to send you here, so I didn't go to you directly, but after these days of observation, I think you seem to be just an idle chess move by Him."
"Idle chess? Hoho, how can I be qualified to be his chess piece." Eric smiled bitterly.
"Don't belittle yourself. In the entire multiverse, not many people know of his existence. Just based on this, you are already ahead of most people."
Eric was silent, Court of Life! The manager of the Marvel universe, except for OAA, he is biggest boss.
"Can you tell me about that universe? What the hell happened there? Even through the Trinity I still can't get in touch with the Supreme Sorcerer there. There is a powerful force blocking it." , A/O didn't want to talk more, and changed the topic.
"You can contact the Supreme Sorcerer of other universes!" Eric was shocked. He knew that Ancient One was very strong, but he did not expect her to be so outrageous! That is a parallel universe, and communicating across parallel universes is something that can only be done by a multiverse-level existence!
Could it be that the ancient one has reached the multiverse level?
