The Ancient One is here

A few days later, Alex was relaxing in his room while Emma was informing him about various important things he needed to know.

" ... And I have also tracked down Loki's location. But he seems to be very cautious and instead of leading in the battlefield himself , he is hiding in a remote place. "

Emma said.

" Well, I guess he is learning from his mistakes. Hahaha, anyway , did you find those two siblings from Sokovia that I asked before ? "

Alex asked.

" I'm sorry sir. But I have already checked all our shelters and there is no such person at all. "

" Hmmm, it seems they are already under Hydra at this time. But it's not a problem. After we start taking action, we'll clean up Hydra along the way. "

" Alright sir. I would try to hack into Hydra databases and search for them. On another note sir, Black Widow Natasha Romanoff was spotted in one of our shelters. Do I have to take any precautions? "

" Oh ? It seems that Fury can't wait any longer. But indeed it's almost time. Emma, summarize the current war status of earth. "

" Yes sir. Currently a total of eighty seven countries all over the world have already fallen while a lot more are already at their limits. A lot of hidden organizations have also surfaced during this time and risen to prominence. A few of the powerful ones are Wakanda, Ten Rings organization and there are also a few local superheroes too. "

" It seems that the Ancient One still hasn't taken action. I was already prepared to have a one on one with her. "

Alex has not even finished speaking when red warning alarms started ringing in the whole base and a yellow coloured portal appeared in the room in front of Alex.

" Don't worry. You won't have to fight me yet. At least not till you decide to destroy the whole Earth. "

The Ancient One that Alex was speaking of stepped out of the portal.

" Well, your timing is really very good, Sorcerer Supreme. Welcome to my secret base. Need some tea or coffee ? "

Looking at her , Alex was indeed a bit surprised but not really afraid. Meanwhile he also ordered Emma to shut down the warning alarms and inform everyone to not disturb him for the time being.

" Thank you very much for asking but I just drank a cup of tea before coming here. "

The Ancient one rejected his offer just like normal people do when they visit someone's house.

" Alright then. I don't like to talk about the bush. Let's get straight to the point and tell me your purpose for coming here ? "

Alex also got serious and questioned the Ancient one . He didn't want to talk about philosophy with her and finally end up falling in a cage woven by her words.

" You are pretty impatient I see but no matter. As for my purpose, it's related to what the Observer told you. "

Ancient one said calmly.

" What ? You know about this too ? Wait, did he tell you this himself ? "

Alex was really surprised this time . Originally he thought that he was the only person who knew this secret.

" No, he was not the one who told me . You should also know about their strict rules. It's already breaking a lot of the rules by informing you alone. "

The Ancient One said.

Hearing this Alex calmed down. Indeed Observers or Watchers had these rules.

Billions of years ago, the technologically-advanced extraterrestrial race known as the Watchers decided it was their duty to help the universe's less advanced races. In their first such experiment, proposed by Ikor, a delegation of four brought atomic energy knowledge to the planet Prosilicus. The Prosilicans accepted the gift, but used it to develop nuclear weapons and engaged in an auto-genocidal war. Ashamed of their actions, the Watchers vowed never again to interfere in the affairs of other races.Instead, they passively observe and record events for those who will come after the universe ends.

Uatu is the Watcher assigned to watch over Earth from his home in the Blue Area of the Moon. He is an altruist and has bent or violated his oath on numerous occasions to aid humanity. And that time he warned Alex about the upcoming threat was also one of those times.

In fact , Alex didn't remember something like what the observer told him ever happening in the original marvel storyline. But then again, the moment he appeared in this world, it had already branched off to a new timeline , so no use guessing over that . Thinking of this

Alex returned to the topic and looked at the Ancient One.

" So how did you know? "

Alex asked confused.

" I saw flashes of the future with the help of time stone. However, for some unknown reason, as the time advances forward , it's getting more and more blurry. "

Ancient one said.

" So that's how it is. Well, if you already know about it, then what are you going to do next ? "

Alex asked while looking at her.

" I... I am already very old and my time is also reaching its end. Besides I have already dragged it for too long. So don't expect much help from me. "

" You mean... "

" Well, the watcher must have choosen you for a reason and I don't think I am wiser than him. Thus I would still leave it to you. But I will try to delay it as much as I can and buy enough time for you to be fully prepared. "

The Ancient One said with a smile.

" I see. Don't worry, I won't let your efforts go to waste."

Next Alex and the Ancient One discussed a few more things before she left.

....

On the other side of the galaxy.

Captain Marvel also got the signal that Fury sent over.

" Well, it seems something bad has happened back on Earth. But before going I have to take care of this mess first. "

Carol looked at the battlefield in front of her and then rushed in without further ado.

....

Meanwhile back on Earth.

Natasha has also finally infiltrated one of the Illuminati shelters. In fact, over the past few days, she has already understood the whole framework of this facility. She has also tried to investigate about the leaders of this organization on her own but unfortunately she hasn't gotten any substantial results till yet.

Unknown to her, Alex already knew about her the moment she entered the shelter and all her movements from then onwards were also within his eyes.

It's just that it wasn't the time for them to enter the stage yet , thus Alex let her be for now and decided to wait for a while before meeting her.

After all, the beauty of Black Widow is not hidden from anyone and he won't be lying that he likes it too.
