Chapter 037 Are You Some Kind Of "Blessed Body"?

"Thor's Hammer?" What do you mean?! The Thor you're talking about can't be the son of Odin from Norse mythology, right?! Natasha Romanoff couldn't help but complain. Just tell me that there are mages in this world. You don't want to tell me that there's an Odin in this world, do you? Everyone from fairy tales is here?!

"Do you have any photos or something to show me?" Just as he was thinking about it, Luo Bai asked.

Natasha Romanoff nodded and took out her phone. "This is it. It landed in a small town in Mexico. Coulson has already taken people there, and now S.H.I.E.L.D. is studying it. I want to know if this thing will be harmful to the Earth. When it landed, it caused huge energy fluctuations."

As Natasha Romanoff spoke, she handed over the photo.

After taking a look, Luo Bai confirmed, "This is Thor's hammer, so Thor has been exiled by his father now?!"

"Do you know what this is?" Seeing him looking at the photo without saying anything, Natasha Romanoff asked again.

Luo Bai came back to his senses and replied calmly while eating, "It's just an ordinary hammer. You don't need to study it too much. It won't have much impact on the Earth."

A regular hammer??! That's it??! Come on, the power of this hammer when it landed was not small. There's a massive pit where it landed! Are you telling me this is just an ordinary hammer?!

Of course, for a mage like Luo Bai, it is indeed possible that this is just an ordinary hammer.

Natasha Romanoff felt relieved when Luo Bai said there was no threat. "That's good. We were also worried whether this was a warning or provocation from a certain race outside the universe to the Earth," Natasha explained.

"That's not the case. Okay, Miss Natasha Romanoff, I'm leaving." Luo Bai finished his dinner quickly and waved goodbye.

This stunned Natasha Romanoff, who had originally wanted to speak. She thought that if she visited Luo Bai today, they could have a good chat. Unexpectedly, they had only chatted for less than half an hour.

"Are you leaving so soon? To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to see you go," Natasha Romanoff said, sounding somewhat sad. She seemed to want to keep Luo Bai, but he was very anxious now.

"Then just look forward to our next meeting," Luo Bai replied.

As a yellow circle appeared, the portal opened. In the blink of an eye, Luo Bai disappeared.

This scene attracted the attention of the guests in the restaurant. "What happened just now? I saw someone suddenly disappear!"

"I think I saw that yellow circle just now. Wasn't that something reported on the news before?!"

"It's the Soul Mage!! Oh my God, I was eating in the same restaurant as the Soul Mage just now?!"

"Damn it! I didn't even ask him for an autograph!!"

Instantly, there was a lively discussion in the restaurant. Listening to the chatter around her, Natasha Romanoff couldn't help but smile. "He is really a mysterious soul mage who comes and goes without a trace," Natasha muttered.

Luo Bai left, and she lost her appetite. She got up to pay the bill.

...

At the same time, Luo Bai arrived at the main hall of Kama Taj. What a coincidence; the Ancient One happened to be meditating. Sensing movement, the Ancient One opened her eyes. She wasn't surprised to see Luo Bai coming; she simply got up and poured two cups of tea.

"Master Luo Bai, do you have a problem you'd like to discuss with me?" the Ancient One asked, handing him one of the cups of tea while picking up her own.

"Yes. Supreme Mage, I have a very important question to ask now," Luo Bai replied.

The Ancient One remained calm and said, "Don't be anxious. Sit down and talk." Then she guided Luo Bai to a seat.

After they both sat down, the Ancient One asked slowly, "Did you encounter an unsolvable problem?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Yes, Supreme Mage."

The Ancient One answered calmly, "Magic is also called secret art because it contains endless mysteries in the multiverse. It's normal to encounter problems. You may need to be patient and let the energy guide you."

"But my problem... it seems that energy can't guide me... I have to make my own choice," Luo Bai admitted.

"I would like to know what choices you are facing, Master Luo Bai," the Ancient One asked, her curiosity piqued.

Looking into the Ancient One's sincere eyes, Luo Bai took a deep breath. Then he released the teleportation magic and took out the "Dark God Book" sealed in the teleportation space.

"Supreme Mage, this is the choice I face," Luo Bai said.

The Ancient One was stunned. "!!!!!" Goodness! Isn't this "The Book of Darkness"??!!!

For a moment, Luo Bai saw the Ancient One's surprise. She wasn't surprised that Luo Bai would come to her; after all, every mage encounters problems while learning magic.

Although Luo Bai's talent was strong, it was normal for him to face obstacles. Due to her teaching experience, the Ancient One initially remained calm until Luo Bai revealed the "Book of Darkness."

The Ancient One was taken aback. I thought you couldn't learn anymore. I didn't expect you to be selected by "The Book of Darkness"?!

Now the problem is serious. "Where did you find this book?!" the Ancient One asked.

Luo Bai answered truthfully, "I was eating in a restaurant when I found this book placed on the sofa. When I saw the book, I realized something was wrong. When I opened it, I discovered it was the Book of Darkness."

Luo Bai gave such an honest confession mainly because he believed in leniency for confessing. He thought the Ancient One would understand him. After all, to a certain extent, the Ancient One was his mentor, and she had experience in learning black magic, so he trusted she would give him the correct guidance.

Frankly speaking, since arriving in the Marvel world, the person Luo Bai trusted the most was the Ancient One. She had given him the Time Stone. That alone was enough to convince Luo Bai that the Ancient One genuinely wanted to train him. So, he could only seek help from her.

Perhaps because of the sight of the "Book of Darkness," the Ancient One was silent for a moment. After all, this book is not easy to obtain.

The Ancient One knew very well how many wizards with ulterior motives in the wizarding world sought the "Book of Darkness." They would do whatever it took to find it.

But do you think Sithorn is a philanthropist? Will he just give it to you because you want it? No, as an ancient god, he also has requirements for choosing believers. Thus, it's difficult for most mages to find this book, despite their efforts.

Unexpectedly, Luo Bai found it.

Although this is a black magic book, it must be said that it is also a magical book. Thinking of this, the Ancient One fell silent. After a long pause, she said, "I don't know how to help you with this matter."

There was genuinely nothing she could do. The "Book of Darkness" choosing Luo Bai meant that he was being targeted by Sithorn. It's similar to how Emperor Weishan might come to bless Luo Bai; now, it's equivalent to Sithorn giving him a blessing.

Is Luo Bai some kind of "blessing body"? Are so many ancient gods chasing him to bless him?

Thinking of this, the Ancient One explained, "I can't help you; only you can help yourself. A mage will face many choices in this life, and no one else can interfere with those choices; they can only rely on themselves. This is your destiny; you must choose for yourself. But no one can stop Sithorn from watching you."

The Ancient One letting Luo Bai make his own choice surprised him.

"Supreme Mage, Karma Taj has prohibited learning witchcraft and black magic. Aren't you going to stop me?" Luo Bai asked.

The Ancient One was silent for a moment before slowly explaining, "This restriction applies to other mages, but you are the future supreme mage. No one can stop you, not even me."

After saying this, the Ancient One looked somewhat serious, as if she had remembered something. Before Luo Bai could speak, she continued, "What's more... if we want to protect the Earth, sometimes we have no choice."

No choice.

This statement conveyed the Ancient One's helplessness. She also understood that the power granted by Emperor Weishan was weak compared to the black magicians in the universe. The power provided by Emperor Weishan was simply insufficient.

However, if the Supreme Mage wants to protect the Earth, it's not easy to face the threat of the entire multiverse alone.

Ultimately, human mages are merely accessories to the multiversal gods. The most important thing is to choose the right god and stand in the right camp.

So, the Ancient One chose to pursue eternity.
