Chapter 793 Unofficial decision
"If you don't want to kill him directly, he should be bleeding too much by now."
Tao Yu glanced at Bucky's miserable look. Considering the hatred between Bucky and Tony, it didn't matter what Tony did.
But since he was going to live for the time being, he probably had to stop the bleeding, otherwise Bucky would die soon.
And when she heard that Tony said that Bucky was going to be handed over to Nick Fury and asked him to find Hydra, Tao Yu also had an inexplicable funny feeling.
Nick Fury in Snake Shield couldn't even protect himself, and Bucky really didn't know what would happen if he told him.
"However, Lu Dan had already started to have doubts last time. His ability is still good. Maybe Bucky can complete the lock this time if he goes there, but it's not impossible..."
While Tao Yu was thinking, Tony's palm shot out a hot laser that looked like welding, directly scorching Bucky's wound.
Even in a brainwashed state, Bucky couldn't help but make a muffled sound.
But this crude method finally stopped the bleeding.
And judging from Bucky's physical condition, his life should be saved for the time being...
…
Although SHIELD was almost taken over by Hydra, it still has a lot of good stuff.
After Tony contacted Fury, a Quinjet arrived in Nepal almost the same day.
Then model worker Colson walked down from above.
Looking at Bucky who was no longer human, Coulson, whose hairline seemed to be higher, was also a little surprised, but he didn't say anything more. He just lowered his voice and said to the two of them.
"We have a small problem internally, and you two must know about it. After our director has locked the target, we will ask you two to help us. We want to completely bypass the mole."
Coulson said mysteriously.
"Aha, you originally came here to invite us to join the team, but it turns out that you can't even deal with the mole. It's really ironic. Is there something wrong with this guy?"
Tony said mockingly, and then kicked Bucky with his leg.
Coulson could also see that Tony seemed to have considerable resentment towards Bucky.
Just because Tony didn't take the initiative to tell the reason, he didn't really know.
"We can definitely do it, but we are just afraid that the news will leak out and something will slip through the net."
Coulson is full of confidence in Fury.
Even excluding foreign aid, we still have operational experts like Natasha and Hawkeye, so the shady insiders have nothing to fear.
The only thing I'm worried about is that it won't be completely destroyed...
After watching the Quinjet take off and then enter optical invisibility, Tony also looked back at Tao Yu
"What do you think is going on inside them? They won't slip up at the critical moment, right? It makes me want to follow him back first."
"It's impossible to tell. If you want to go back, then go back. It shouldn't be possible to find it in a short time..."
As a result, as soon as Tao Yu finished speaking, his cell phone rang, and Minato Namikaze's voice came from inside.
"Jack, we have found it, Kama Taj..."
This also left Tao Yu a little speechless. How could he find the Winter Soldier after he managed it?
Gu Yi looks very anxious...
…
Outside a quaint Nepalese-style house, Tao Yu and Tony quickly landed in front of them in steel suits.
At the door, in addition to Namikaze Minato and Stephen pushing wheelchairs, there was also a rather elegant dark-skinned figure standing on the steps.
Even though Tao Yu and Tony were flying down from the sky in battle clothes, his expression was still very plain, with a sense of Zen all over his body, and in terms of his state of mind, he seemed to be looking pretty good.
"Come on, the mage is waiting for you."
His inscrutable answer made Tony laugh a little unhappily.
"Oh, wait for us? Did you know that we will both come at short notice?"
"The Sorcerer Supreme knows everything."
Mo Du's words were still calm, but a sense of trust and even a little fanaticism could be heard in them.
This actually made Tony raise his eyebrows, and then he turned back to look at Tao Yu.
He remembered that this guy also had some mysterious divination skills, which were quite accurate.
"I have heard about the reputation of the Supreme Mage. Her abilities are far superior to mine. This is normal."
We have already arrived here, Tao Yu saved Stephen as a gesture of goodwill, and Gu Yi is not a stubborn person, so there is no psychological burden.
It is very possible that the other party knows that he is coming, and has even noticed him for a long time.
With Tao Yu's words, Tony was a little surprised.
This is the man who claims to eat the reactor.
After hearing Tao Yu's words, Mo Du turned around and glanced at him lightly, with some approval in his eyes.
In the movie universe, Mordo was pretty good before going dark.
It's just that he's a bit close to being a moralist.
Some of the things that Ancient One could tolerate, he might not be able to tolerate.
But he had just made contact with Tao Yu, so he didn't know much about Tao Yu.
A group of four people walked into the gate and walked inside along the small courtyard.
From the outside, this wooden house looks a bit like a local Nepali building, more like a 'stockade', while inside it looks more like a training ground.
At this time, there was a group of people in simple clothes, sitting cross-legged and meditating, and they were indifferent to the arrival of several people.
There is a slight smell of incense in the air.
In the center of the dojo, there is a gauze-like white curtain, which simply distinguishes the place. On the other side of the curtain, there is a bald figure sitting cross-legged with his back to everyone.
Mo Du came to the curtain, bowed slightly and said
"Mage, they are coming."
"I understand, some guests, please come in..."
A calm and neutral voice came out, which made Modu have a look of surprise on his face.
"this……"
But he didn't say anything. He carefully lifted the curtain and made an inviting gesture to several people.
"The mage has been sitting here for many years and has not seen outsiders for a long time."
Judging from his shocked look, it was very likely that even one of their own could not get in.
And Tao Yu also felt that as the curtain was lifted, there was a trace of spatial fluctuation.
That is to say, the three deifications of the talent of own space affinity are placed here, otherwise I might not be able to sense it.
Although it was just a curtain, it was a self-contained space inside. The other party seemed to be here, but in fact it was so far away.
I'm afraid it's not true to say that I have been sitting here for many years.
It’s just that Tony didn’t know this, so he complained to Tao Yu curiously as he entered.
"She has been sitting there for so many years. What about eating, drinking, and defecating? Has she never taken a shower..."
However, almost as soon as his words fell, several people had already passed through the ripples.
The world in front of me quickly stretched.
Obviously before, it was just a small area divided by a curtain in the center of the dojo.
But now in the eyes of everyone, it appears directly on the top of the snow mountain!
The biting cold wind penetrated into the body, and a whistling sound came from the ears!
And the bald figure with his back to everyone was sitting on a stone platform with his body covered with snow.
Just after arriving here and losing the shelter of space, Tao Yu immediately noticed the problem with Gu Yi...
——
A stench that seemed to accompany death emanated from Gu Yi's body.
Even in the biting cold wind, Tony covered his nose.
Even though he was shocked by the transformation of this space, he still couldn't help complaining at this time.
"I really didn't take a shower..."
Stephen, who was pushed by Namikaze Minato, saw this miraculous change and looked at the magically crafted high cliff nearby.
His face was also full of shock.
The fiery excitement in his heart made him forget even the coldness around him.
If such a miracle can occur, it seems natural that it can heal oneself!
Only Tao Yu raised his hand to stop everyone, and then said in a deep voice
"Supreme Mage, what's wrong with you?"
"Guarding the abyss dimension, I accidentally got injured a little bit, but I won't die for the time being."
Gu Yi's tone was still so calm, and then he stopped sitting, stood up slowly, and shook off the snow on his body.
"The way I look now may be a bit scary, so please don't panic."
After saying that, she turned around.
Even though they had been reminded, everyone was still shocked when they saw Gu Yi's almost rotten body and terrifying face.
This isn't a human being, it's just a rotting corpse.
"Oh, don't panic. That's a good point. You deserve treatment more than Dr. Stephen now, if it works."
Tony was unable to complain for a while.
But Tao Yu also frowned a little when he looked at Gu Yi.
The Ancient One, who possesses the Time Stone and is extremely powerful in the current world, has become like this!
Is this using the Book of Darkness? Want to fight against the encroaching power of the Abyss? !
"Did you take the initiative to contact the power of the abyss? The world itself is resisting. You are just an individual in the world. Although you are strong, it is too reckless..."
Tao Yu probably guessed the reason why Gu Yi became like this.
Stephen's previous suffering may have been caused by Gu Yi's arrangements, but similarly, her current state is indeed a bit bad.
This is an independent world, and the will of the world is so strong that it can resist the invasion of the abyss for a long time.
But even so, Gu Yi couldn't stop Gu Yi from taking the initiative to commit suicide.
Perhaps she was used to resisting enemies from various dimensions, so she regarded the abyss invasion as one of the many dimensions in her own world.
The result ended up looking like this...
"Haha, it's true that I overestimated my ability to make the guests laugh..."
Gu Yi's mentality seems to be very peaceful. In fact, she doesn't care much about her own life and death, and takes it very lightly. She has persisted until now, perhaps because she is choosing what she thinks is a relatively better outcome.
Just like divination, at least in the current world, the time stone's 'predictive' ability is still quite strong.
"What riddles are you trying to solve? What is the abyss? Is it the legendary one?"
Tony interjected from the side.
"You can think of it as similar to the legendary abyss, but it is even more troublesome. It will continue to erode the world, and it is almost irreversible. But if nothing happens, it will take a long time..."
Tao Yu casually said that there were legends of the abyss in various places, so in order to avoid the trouble of explanation, it was enough for them to directly enter them.
"Oh, what should we do now? Can the old mage still save people?"
Tony pointed at Ancient One's current appearance.
But then, he saw a green light flashing on the pendant on Gu Yi's chest.
Then Gu Yi's entire scene was like a slide being played backwards, and the image became extremely ghostly.
Various twitchings continued, with overlapping layers appearing.
At the same time, there was a constant sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, as if there were endless resentful spirits flying out of her body, surrounding and circling.
This made Tony immediately on guard, and the steel suit once again covered his whole body.
"Hey, something's wrong with her. Is she possessed?"
"No, she is warping time to restore herself."
Although Tao Yu's talent on the time side is slightly inferior to that on the space side, he is still not weak after three deifications!
You can clearly feel the chaotic time distortion around Gu Yi.
That kind of complex operation of reversal, interspersion, and twisting is much more complicated than the time stop at one's own limit.
It seems that she is constantly cutting it up, cutting out the bad pollution on her body piece by piece, and throwing it into other time dimensions.
Use your own individual self, which has not been contaminated in the past, to share this pressure.
After the epileptic slideshow continued for a while, and with a shake of the head, all the rotten flesh on her face seemed to be shaken off, and then it returned to its original normal appearance.
"Make the guests laugh."
Starting to shift space is actually an exaggeration, but it is not incomprehensible.
Tony can accept the theory of space folding and jumping.
But the picture in front of me really surpassed the original three views!
Damn it!
"No smile, no smile. I was presumptuous at first. Master, please forgive me."
Tony bowed with his hands together in a less than standard way.
I seemed a little offended at first...
"Actually, Mr. Stark, you were originally one of my choices. You have the potential to become the Supreme Mage."
Gu Yi didn't care about Tony's presumption, because she knew Tony's character very well.
Holding the Time Stone, she has seen too much...
"Can Master still observe the future normally?"
Tao Yu asked curiously here.
She also doesn’t know if she has any involvement in the future she sees.
Gu Yi seemed to know exactly what Tao Yu wanted to ask, and just shook his head and said
“Ever since I ventured into contact with the abyss, there have been serious problems with the Eye of Agamotto. Although some predictions can still be made, they have all become fragmented and the future has been blurred.
"But if I hadn't also been eroded, this feeling would actually be pretty good..."
Gu Yi felt a little emotional.
The reason why she chose to take over was that, in addition to Stephen being valued by her, the feeling of loneliness in the river of time was also an extremely important reason.
To put it simply, it is actually depression.
The time gem had some connections due to its contact with the abyss. After being affected, Gu Yi actually felt more relaxed.
Then she took a deep look at Tao Yu and said
"Moreover, no matter which fragment I see, there is no trace of you as a guest in it. You seem to be completely independent from the world, and you are a true outsider."
Hearing Gu Yi's words, Tao Yu also felt that it was quite normal. Whether it was his status as an outsider, his own habit of divination disturbances, or his own divinity, it was possible that such changes would occur.
"So I finally changed my mind. Although Stephen is the best game-breaker in history, he is still in the game. Only you, my guest, can shoulder such a heavy responsibility..."
Tao Yu was still nodding beside him, but after hearing this, he suddenly became a little confused.
What's going on?
"So I want our guests to become the next Supreme Mage and protect the world."
"Me? Forget it, I don't have such a burden."
Tao Yu waved her hand, "It's better to capture your Stephen as a cow horse. I'm just a passerby in this world."
"...The Eye of Agamotto, the Book of Vishanti, and the Book of Darkness will all be handed over to the guests as the inheritance of the Supreme Mage."
"Protect the world? This is indeed what I need to do after being approved by Thor's Hammer. It sounds good..."
Tao Yu looked serious.
I never expected that I was originally thinking about the Mind Stone, but now it seems I can get the Time Stone first?
——
[Time Gem·Eye of Agamotto·Contaminated Heart of the World]: The origin of time when this universe was born holds the secret of endless time and is controlled by secret methods. Part of the origin of time can be utilized. Power, contaminated by the abyss, caused time chaos...
Tao Yu held the Eye of Agamotto in her hand, her eyes a little dazed.
The Time Stone is very strange. Tao Yu feels that he can directly absorb its power and use it to fill his new talent. This rich power of the world is much better than the two previous fragments that were less than one percent. .
Taken as a whole, if the six infinite stones are gathered together, the new talents will definitely be activated.
The key is that after the Infinity Stones themselves are absorbed, they will definitely bring some additional benefits to themselves.
Just like the Silmarillion and the Stone.
Although it won’t be too exaggerated after leaving this world, it is definitely not bad.
Otherwise, with the unique characteristics of the origin of the current world, the Time Stone, after leaving purely as an item, apart from absorbing it, it is almost the same as those paperweights in the Time Administration.
But on the other hand, if I don't directly absorb it for the time being, I can still use the control methods passed down by the Supreme Mage to utilize its power in this world.
The power of the Time Stone is very powerful, but it is difficult to control this power. In addition to things like the Infinity Gauntlet, the Ancient One can only start by wrapping the Time Stone with the Eye of Agamotto.
"But unfortunately, although I am not afraid of contamination, its ability is indeed severely restricted before it is absorbed."
Tao jade is not afraid of contamination, but there is no way to clean the gems without absorbing them.
And now that he has only obtained the Eye of Agamotto, Tao Yu cannot directly mobilize the power of the gem. He must first conduct some systematic study here.
Also staying to study were Stephen, Tony and Namikaze Minato...
"My situation is indeed not good. I may not be able to teach you personally for a long time. For the early basics, you can ask Modu, Wang and Casillas for advice. Stephen's injury can also be replaced through learning..."
After taking off the Eye of Agamotto and giving it to Tao Yu to hang on his body, Gu Yi began to sit back on the stone.
"I have placed both books in the library in advance and explained them. Guests can pick them up when the time comes. The Dark God Book has no language restrictions and can also confuse people. It is best to wait in the back..."
"I see."
Tao Yu hung the Eye of Agamotto on his chest, wore a hanging ring on the finger of his left hand, and held Thor's Hammer in his right hand. Wearing a steel suit, he felt that the buffs on his body were almost complete.
"Hey, I wonder if Loki will come here at this time, I'm a little hopeful..."
…
On the streets of Nepal, Rocky walked around and around like a headless fly.
After seeing the repetitive road ahead like a ghost wall, there was a little panic in his eyes.
As an outstanding mage, Loki knew that he had entered a powerful spell. He never expected that there were such powerful people on the earth!
Fortunately, the caster didn't seem to have any ill intentions, he just kept walking in circles, and he seemed to be able to leave as long as he turned his head.
"That mortal holding Mjolnir came to this place because of this mage? What on earth do they want to do?!"
Originally, Loki, who thought he was sure of himself, thought he could show his holiness in front of mortals, but now he felt a huge pressure.
It was unexpected for Mjolnir to be picked up by a mortal.
As a result, we encountered an even more unexpected situation here!
"Perhaps it was not an accident that the hammer was picked up..."
There was a bit of shock and anger in Loki's eyes, as if things were not going the way he wanted.
But facing that powerful spell, he was unable to break it.
In the end, he could only stop moving forward and actively retreated to leave the circular place.
"Heimdall!"
With Loki's roar, the Rainbow Bridge fell down, shining Loki in it and taking him back to Asgard.
When crossing the Rainbow Bridge, Loki also felt a little resentful.
"This matter won't just be settled like this. Although I don't know where you are a mage, you must pay a price for humiliating the king of Asgard like this!"
In this way, my stupid big brother wants to spend his life as an ordinary mortal, but it is not possible.
What if this mage and the person who picked up the hammer want to help him rise to power and come to fight with him?
We still need to cut off the troubles!
…
In a Zen courtyard, except for Stephen who was still sitting in a wheelchair, Tao Yu and the other three were sitting cross-legged, listening to a fat man with a rather cheerful appearance in front of them explaining some basic knowledge.
"The so-called source of magical power usually comes from four different channels. The first is one's own energy, represented by the power in Mr. Jack's body.
“The second type is the energy of the cosmic environment, which can also be regarded as natural energy. According to records, this comes from the gods who created the universe.
"The third type is the energy from another dimension. However, different dimensions are usually accompanied by darkness and ominousness. We mages are strictly prohibited from using it. The fourth type is Mr. Jack's hammer, which uses the energy of magic instruments..."
As a mage who has guarded the library for a long time, Wang may not be as good as Mordo and Casillas in terms of strength, but he is extremely solid in basic theory and is just suitable for getting started.
As he spoke, he also raised the hand with the hanging ring and began to slowly draw shapes in the void.
A light like electric welding flashed in the air, and a long whip with electric light began to slowly take shape along with the king's hand.
Even though they had seen the magic of Ancient One before, both Stephen and Tony still seemed quite interested.
Gu Yi and Wang have already mentioned to Stephen that the best way for him to be in good condition now is to use mental power instead of nerves to control the body. Although he is still in a wheelchair, there is hope ahead, and Stephen's That frustration was gone.
"Now I use the hanging ring to communicate with the energy of the universe with my own spirit, and form my own weapon. This is what you need to learn in the early stage, especially Stephen. If you want to stand up again, you have to learn to communicate with yourself spiritually. …….”
Wang looked at Stephen in the wheelchair and emphasized.
But at this moment, the sound of quarreling came from outside the house.
"Modu, don't stop me. I just want to see who can win the respect of the Supreme Mage, that's all. Aren't you curious yourself?"
There was a slightly unruly voice, which seemed to have been specially raised in order to be heard by the people inside...
