Ancient One!!!

Fanny dismissed the titanium alloy pan in his hand. He thought about coming into contact with Vibranium one day; he might be able to diversify his arsenal. He then checked on Red Skull, who lay unmoving on the ground, and checked the experience he had gained.

It was not much different from what he had expected. The experience that Red Skull had gained was not as good as Mordo, but not by much. It was about 0.85 Mordo.

This was already a satisfactory level for Fanny. Red Skull was only a human that was injected with a serum. Moreover, he was decades out of practice, and his body was not his own.

The experience he gained from Red Skull solidified Fanny's intent to stay and gain experience here for a while.

After all, the sixth skill he had obtained was still immature—Blue-Eyes White Dragon would not be of much use in the upcoming alien invasion of New York.

If possible, he wanted to extract the seventh skill or evolve Blue-Eyes White Dragon before leaving.

"Are you alright?" Fanny asked with concern at Red Skull, who finally got up after a long time.

Red Skull shook his head with a frustrated face. "I lost!"

"It's okay; there had been many people who lost to me. You don't have to feel embarrassed."

Red Skull obviously wasn't happy with the way Fanny comforted him, but he had already expected this battle to result in his loss, so he didn't feel too bad.

And thus, Fanny temporarily settled down on Vormir.

Without materials, Fanny had to dig a big hole into the mountain and make a bed out of stones. It was barely livable, but with some simple items made with Ars Magna, his suffering was lessened.

The problem wasn't in residence but in the lack of living beings.

Red Skull was the only living creature on the entire planet of Vormir, and even that was debatable. Fanny had no other existence to communicate with.

Red Skull aside, Fanny could not spend all his time fighting. He spent some time strolling around the planet, but his boredom peaked after a week.

"How could you endure this kind of torturous existence on your own?" Fanny looked at Red Skull, who was sitting by the altar in a daze. That former Hydra leader had been on this planet for seventy years. Fanny had no idea how Red Skull had survived.

"To be honest, I spent most of my time sleeping."

Fanny rolled his eyes. That solution was out of the question for him.

"Let's go climb the mountains together. I'll take your photos!" Fanny took his mobile phone out of boredom and opened the camera app. He took a few photos of the distant scenery as souvenirs.

He didn't have to worry about the battery running out with Ars Magna's Creation, but there was no way to connect the signal all the way to Earth.

"No need. I have seen every mountain on this planet," Red Skull refused, shaking his head. He was too familiar with everything on Vormir, so he was too lazy to look at everything all over again. Fanny had also told him that they would continue sparring for the next few days, so while he looked like he was daydreaming, he was actually thinking about tactics and strategies to defeat Fanny.

Fanny sighed. He was honestly so bored, but it was only an hour since the last battle. Red Skull didn't seem to have recovered from the defeat yet.

The only thing that Fanny had left to do was to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon and start feeding it. The second star was almost fully manifested from the last time its body was destroyed by the energy of the Soul Stone.

At the same time, on Earth.

Skye hung up the phone, her face filled with worry. Fanny had never gone dark for such a long time.

Fanny had told her that he would be gone for a week. Yet throughout the week, her countless call had been unable to reach him.

A week passed, and still, there was no answer. She was extremely worried, especially with the vague words that Fanny had left her with.

After thinking for a while, Skye finally called Pepper again.

"Fanny?! I didn't see him. Tony had been with me, and Dr. Banner was cooped in the laboratory. None of us had met him."

Pepper's answer only worsened Skye's worries. After careful consideration, she finally decided to visit New York's Sanctum on her own that evening.

"Hello, I wish to talk to Mage Daniel."

Although everyone in Kamar-Taj knew Fanny, they might not know Skye, even though she had also stayed there for a while.

"Please wait for a moment." The mage guarding the temple looked at Skye and left to report the situation to the master of the Sanctum.

"Miss Helsed, why are you here?" Daniel soon went downstairs, surprised to see Skye.

"Fanny has disappeared for a week. This is the first time he suddenly disappeared like this. May I trouble you to ask the Sorcerer Supreme for an audience, Master Daniel?"

Daniel's face became serious when he heard what Skye said. As a Master of Mystic Arts, he understood better than anyone how dangerous this world can be. He immediately told Skye, "Come with me!"

Daniel brought Skye all the way to Kamar-Taj. They met the training Mordo on their way.

"Miss Helsed, where is Fanny? Why are you alone?" Mordo was a little surprised to see Skye on her own.

"He disappeared. I couldn't reach him for the past week," Skye explained to Mordo with a look of worry on her face.

"He told me that he had something to do, and it might take a week," Mordo said while frowning.

"I know, but it had been a week. And he had never gone completely dark like this," Skye said. She believed that no matter how busy Fanny got, he would still contact her if he could.

"She wanted to ask Sorcerer Supreme to see if she knew the situation," Daniel explained to Mordo from the side.

"I will take her there!" Mordo nodded at Daniel and then led the way for Skye to Ancient One.

Even Ancient One couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the situation from Skye and Mordo. "He is missing?"

"You don't know where he went as well?" Skye began to feel anxious. She had thought that Fanny was under a special mission from Ancient One, but judging from the reaction, it was obviously not the case.

"Don't worry, Miss Helsed," Ancient One comforted Skye, "Fanny is very powerful. He won't die so easily. Maybe he was simply delayed by some incident."

Skye finally calmed a little after hearing Ancient One's words—as well as recalling Fanny's mysterious power.

"Master Mordo, take Miss Helsed to rest. I will inform you immediately if I find Fanny."

"Yes!" Mordo bowed respectfully and left with the worried Skye.

Ancient One watched the closed door after the two left. She then began to use a spell to look for Fanny—and a strange symbol began to appear between her eyebrows.

Mages borrow energy according to their ability, but who said that it had to be returned?!

Dormammu felt his power being plundered and shouted furiously in the dark dimension,

"Ancient One!!!"
