Tony Stark hadn't really met the Gu Yi master, but he had already heard of this supreme mage who guarded the earth and was not invaded by other dimensions from Ethan.
In his impression, Master Gu Yi should look like Merlin or Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings. In any case, he did not expect Gu Yi to be a bald woman.
This is not the most unacceptable, what makes him even more broken is that this woman is taller than him!
He looked specifically at Gu Yi's feet. Although he was wearing a robe, he could see that Gu Yi was not wearing high heels, and the soles were not the type that could hold the inner height.
Looking at Ethan, who was obviously taller next to him, it was the first time in Tony's heart that he was so eager to study a special medicine for himself to strengthen his body.
"I'm sorry to hear your conversation."
Gu Yi saw that two people suddenly did not speak, and thought that she was upset because of her eavesdropping, so she simply apologized.
"I didn't overhear on purpose, I just happened to ask Ethan to talk about something."
"No, I also need to discuss these matters with you. This saves a lot of trouble." Ethan is not dissatisfied, he is guessing Gu Yi's intentions suddenly appearing in his heart.
Except for the first time he came to the Marvel Universe and was caught by Gu Yi as an alien invader, Gu Yi didn't take the initiative to appear in front of Ethan several times later.
Even if I have something to find myself, I will spread the word through other people.
What does it seem to mean to run directly in front of you like this? Ethan guessed that Gu Yi was preparing to'showdown with himself, and explained some specific circumstances to him.
As for bumping into the conversation between himself and Tony, Ethan felt that it was not a coincidence. Gu Yi must determine his position and current situation when he wanted to find himself, and he would naturally know that he was talking to Tony.
It happened that she appeared at this moment.
"I know a place like the one you mentioned. I can take you there if necessary."
Ethan nodded, Gu Yihui didn't surprise him by showing up and providing the venue she needed. She deliberately chose to take the initiative to show up at this time, just because of this incident.
"Do you want to talk to me alone?"
Tony realized that the two men were going to have some separate conversations. Although he was full of curiosity in his heart, he was not someone who had no eyesight at all. He took the initiative to give up the place and went to ask Logan to brag.
When Tony walked away, Gu Yi did not rush to express his intentions, but stood there quietly looking at Hapi and the others who laughed from time to time in the distance.
Ethan did not rush to ask, just accompany Gu Yi watching them happily eating, drinking, and laughing.
"What a happy man."
"Yup."
Gu Yi carried her hands on her back, holding a very ordinary folding fan in her hand, and slowly turning around in her hand: "Watching them happily enjoy a peaceful life makes me feel that what I have done for so many years is not bad. Not bad."
Has been hiding in the unknown, protecting the world from other planes and evil mysterious forces. Gu Yi is not just doing well.
Ethan did not comment, because he knew that Gu Yi must have something to follow.
"But I've been holding it for too long, and I can't hold it anymore." Gu Yi finally looked away and turned to Ethan: "You should have guessed this."
"almost."
Ethan didn't know what expression he should make, so he could only try to control his emotions and keep calm. Strictly speaking, he wasn't just guessing, he even ‘seeed’ Gu Yi’s future with his own eyes.
"I thought my future was doomed."
Kama Taj has a treasure called the Eye of Agomoto, whose core is the time gem, one of the infinite gems. Using this treasure, Gu Yi can see almost all possible futures.
In the countless futures she has seen, her fate is not very good. The best ending is to fight to death as a supreme mage before being completely corroded and corrupted by the dark forces, retaining her last reason and dignity. , This seems to be her best choice.
"Until you show up."
Gu Yi looked at Ethan, and Ethan's appearance made her future more uncertain. With the passage of time, many clear futures have become blurred, even with the help of the power of the Eye of Agomoto, there is no way to see it clearly.
Such a special situation surprised Gu Yi and felt a glimmer of life from it.
Still the same sentence, who can live and die? Otherwise, why did she choose to use the power of the dark space to increase her strength and prolong her lifespan?
Of course at that time she could convince herself that it was to better protect the earth, after all, she did not find a suitable heir to the Supreme Master at that time.
Later, he chose to die calmly. Although there was no way, it was also because he found Stephen Strange, the excellent heir to the Supreme Mage.
But she found that when the vitality reappeared in front of her, she couldn't really ignore it.
"I'm just a person after all."
Losing to his desire to survive seems to mean a huge failure for Gu Yi who has been hiding in Kama Taj's practice.
But in Ethan's eyes, this is nothing at all, it is completely normal.
"Even gods don't want to fall."
"I'm so glad to hear you say that."
Ethan's words seem to express his attitude: he is willing to help Gu Yi survive.
He hasn't spoken much, but is actually thinking about what to do.
Gu Yi's idea is actually not difficult to guess, he thought of so many possibilities from the beginning.
If you want to survive, let Ethan help her solve the erosion of the dark power while retaining her current ability to use the magic of the dark space;
Completely get rid of the shackles of the dark space, cut off the connection with the dark space, and then solve the problem of her death when she loses the almost endless supply of magic power;
Or even more completely abandon everything now, keep her soul after death, and then use special means to regain life.
The third Ethan felt unlikely, because Gu Yi shouldn't know that he had mastered the means of resurrection, and the wizards of the Marvel Universe seemed to have never studied such spells.
So the biggest possibility is the first two:
The first type is too difficult. The magic of the dark space is almost endless. As long as Gu Yi connects to the dark space and obtains power from it, it is almost inevitable to be affected by the almost endless power and corrode.
The solution he wanted was actually very simple, as long as Gu Yi could master the same level of magic power that could resist this kind of power.
This method is relatively easy to do when the magic power in the ancient one is not strong. Now the magic power in her body is huge and amazing, and it even has a certain degree of symbiosis with her. Doing this in this state is different from killing her directly. Not big.
In addition, the magical power of the dark space is almost endless. After all, that is the power contained in a whole plane, and the power that can fight against it is not so easy to find.
"Is there only one option to cut off the connection with the dark space?"
Cut off the connection with the dark space, and Gu Yi’s power has lost its source. The magic in her body can still keep her alive. As long as she is guaranteed not to die because of this, the dark magic in her body will gradually weaken, naturally. There is no need to worry about erosion.
This is probably what Gu Yi hopes Ethan will do.
In fact, Ethan guessed the same, Gu Yi did not hold too many unrealistic expectations, as long as Ethan could save his life, it was enough.
The remaining problems, including the influence of dark magic on her, can be solved by herself.
"That's still dangerous, right?"
Risks always exist. Cutting off the connection with the dark space is not as simple as cutting off a water pipe. It may also cause an overreaction from the dark space ruler Domam.
Gu Yi was able to smoothly extract magic power from the dark space, and there was no Domam's conspiracy in it, and I was afraid that even Gu Yi himself would not believe it.
She felt that it was Domam's plan to let herself fall. As long as she, the Supreme Mage, fell into the darkness, Domam could successfully obtain the earth he coveted for a long time.
So Domam would never sit back and watch Gu Yi get out of his control. Once the contact with him was cut off, the strong man would definitely do something.
Given the closeness of Gu Yi's connection with the dark space, I am afraid that Ethan won't have time to respond. Gu Yi has completely died out, and even his soul can be saved.
In fact, in countless futures that Gu Yi has seen, he has made this choice, but the final result is not very good. Only the appearance of Ethan made this future change, so she wanted to give it a try.
"You don't need to feel any pressure. It doesn't matter if you fail, but if you fail, I need your help."
Master Gu Yi did not rely on the help he had given many times at the beginning to ask Ethan to meet his expectations. In her opinion, it is her luck that Ethan can help herself, but her destiny if he can't help.
"What's busy?"
"If I die, I hope you can serve as a supreme mage and protect this world from being invaded by mysterious forces."
"amount"
Ethan didn't expect it to be such a request, but he was really not interested in the title of Supreme Mage, and once this duty was taken over, it would be difficult to remove it.
"It only needs to be replaced for a while. Although Taj Kama does not have a qualified successor, I can see that several very suitable candidates have embarked on the path of destiny. Taj Kama will soon A new Supreme Master will appear."
When talking about this, Gu Yi looked far away deliberately, and Ethan followed her gaze and saw Tony Stark who was joking with Logan.
Wait, is there something wrong with this plot development?
