Chapter 016 If You Are Lucky, You Can Do Whatever You Want?!
Inside it is an artifact known as the Time Stone.
In the Marvel universe, there are a total of six Infinity Stones. They are the stones of time, power, space, reality, soul, and mind.
These six stones are located in different places and are guarded by various individuals.
The original Time Stone is in Kamar-Taj, guarded by the Supreme Mage of all generations, which is why the Supreme Mage is also referred to as the Guardian of the Time Stone.
Now that the Ancient One has given the Time Stone to Luo Bai, could it be that she wants him to become the Supreme Mage?!
Although he has great talent, how long has he been learning magic? He hasn't received formal training from Kamar-Taj.
Did the Ancient One really give him the Time Stone so easily?!
Despite his confusion, Luo Bai replied, "I will protect it with my life, so this is given to me?!"
"Yes," the Ancient One nodded, handing over the Eye of Agamotto.
Luo Bai accepted it, still puzzled, and began to study it carefully.
"The Eye of Agamotto is a magical artifact used to carry the Time Stone inside. The Time Stone can control the power of time."
"Manipulating the power of time requires a certain amount of magical energy, which might be difficult for you at this stage, but with your talent, it should only be a matter of time before you master it."
"To open the Eye of Agamotto, you need to use a specific spell. This is to ensure the safety of the Time Stone. The spell is quite complex, created through the efforts of all the Supreme Mages throughout history. I will teach you the spell, but you must not share it with anyone else; only you and the future Supreme Mage should know it."
The Ancient One patiently explained the function of the Infinity Stones and how to use them. Considering that the Eye of Agamotto required a spell to open, she felt it was important to teach Luo Bai.
But before she could say anything, Luo Bai instinctively used magic to mimic her gestures.
With a flash of green light, the Eye of Agamotto opened instantly.
Ancient One: "????"
Luo Bai: "????"
The two stared at each other for a full minute, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Luo Bai could clearly see the shock in the Ancient One's eyes and her mouth gradually widening in disbelief.
"How did you open it?!" After what felt like an eternity, the Ancient One finally regained her composure and asked.
Luo Bai responded sheepishly, "Supreme Mage... I want to say that I'm blind... do you believe me?!"
The Ancient One said nothing, but her expression seemed to convey, "Do you expect me to believe that?"
Although she knew this was hard to accept, Luo Bai truly was blind to the specifics!
Knowing the plot, he understood that a spell was needed to open the Time Stone. Because of this, he had started fiddling with the Eye of Agamotto as soon as he received it, trying to figure out how to open it.
Unexpectedly, he had actually succeeded!
Not only was his luck remarkable, but he had also unintentionally bypassed a spell?!
"Supreme Mage, I'm really confused... Actually, I've always been quite lucky," Luo Bai explained sincerely.
The Ancient One furrowed her brow and asked, slightly puzzled, "Luck... good?"
She knew that it was fortunate for a mutant to have a girl with super abilities among them, but could one simply fall under Agamotto's spell through sheer luck?!
The Ancient One didn't quite understand, but she decided not to delve further into it, recognizing that Luo Bai needed to be informed about the spell.
"It's fine if you know how to do it; just proceed. The information you want is in the library." The Ancient One regained her composure and spoke calmly.
Seeing that she wasn't pursuing the issue, Luo Bai felt extremely relieved. After securing the Eye of Agamotto, he planned to leave the temple.
As he took a few steps, the Ancient One suddenly stopped him: "You should return Thor's weapon to him. Asgard and Kamar-Taj have never interacted, so it's better to maintain peace."
Luo Bai nodded in understanding.
Now that he had the Time Stone, why did he still need that hammer?
With this thought, he immediately used teleportation magic to send the hammer back.
After taking care of everything, Luo Bai left.
Once he was gone, the Ancient One stared blankly at his retreating figure and couldn't help but complain, "How lucky can one be to possess the right spell?"
The Ancient One pondered this.
In the distance, someone was even more puzzled than she was at that moment.
...
Asgard.
Thor sat at the dining table, trying to make sense of the situation.
"How could I have such a large hammer and not notice its absence? Where did my hammer go?!" Thor roared, his frustration causing him to smash a wine jar on the ground.
No way, this couldn't be real!
He had just been drinking with his friends!
And while drinking, his hammer vanished?
"Thor, could it have been stolen?" one of his friends suggested.
"Impossible! Only I can lift that hammer! It can't be stolen!" Thor replied firmly.
"But you tried to summon it so many times just now, and the hammer didn't respond at all!" his friend reminded him.
Most artifacts are bonded to their owners, including Thor's hammer.
In the past, if Thor reached out to summon it, the hammer would fly to him from anywhere.
But now, his hammer didn't respond?!
Thor was just as surprised as his friends.
"I could summon it before... Why can't I now?!" Thor muttered, curious about where his hammer had gone.
"I have to find it!" he declared, standing up to search for it.
At that moment, a small yellow circle suddenly appeared in the air.
Someone noticed and shouted, "Look, what is that?!"
Instantly, everyone's attention shifted to the yellow circle.
Before they could investigate further, they saw a hammer being thrown out of the portal.
Thor quickly caught it with his hands.
At first glance... wow, isn't this my hammer?!
"Hammer!! This is my hammer!!!" Thor shouted excitedly.
The people around him cheered as well.
Everyone was thrilled that Thor had retrieved his hammer, including Thor himself.
But amid his joy, Thor realized something was off.
"Wait, what happened with that yellow portal just now?! Teleportation?!" Thor questioned.
"It looks like teleportation," a friend beside him agreed.
Thor frowned.
Someone was bold enough to reach into Asgard?!
"Does anyone know what just happened with that teleportation?!" Thor asked.
But everyone shook their heads.
After all, no one knew who had sent the hammer and then vanished without a trace.
Few had witnessed such power.
"This doesn't seem to have originated from Asgard," someone pointed out.
Thor frowned again.
He realized that the power he sensed definitely didn't come from Asgard.
"Someone managed to reach Asgard unnoticed and almost take my hammer?!"
"I must find this person! Let's go to Heimdall and ask him about it. He has the Eye of Heimdall, which perceives all things. He must know who invaded Asgard just now!"
"I will find this person!" Thor exclaimed as he led his friends toward the Rainbow Bridge.
