Chapter 443: Banner's Plea (Third Update)

The Ancient One watched as Jerry sipped on his iced milk tea, nodding and a smile forming on her face:

"Carmen the Mage, the power within you seems to have grown even more. It looks like this journey has been very fruitful for you!"

Every time Jerry came to see her, his strength had improved a little. This time, however, the improvement was particularly significant, making her feel a surge of surprise when she first sensed his presence.

But this was a good thing for her. At least after she left, having a mage like him on Earth would ensure much greater safety.

"Truly a Supreme Sorcerer. I thought I had hidden my strength well, but you still saw through it at a glance."

Jerry put down his milk tea, unable to suppress a sigh.

He remembered that before leaving Earth, he had visited Asgard. At that time, with the improved shielding spell, Odin could no longer gauge his true strength.

But this time, his power had grown even more, and the shielding spell was even more concealed.

Despite this, the Ancient One still saw through the growth of his magic power at first glance.

He had to admit, in terms of true magical prowess, he still fell short of the Ancient One.

Of course, this didn't mean he was stronger than Odin. Odin's power came from the immense Odinforce within him, which was different from the Ancient One's type of magic. Each had their own specialties.

The Ancient One, hearing Jerry's sigh, smiled and shook her head:

"Carmen the Mage, don't underestimate yourself. While I may have the upper hand in certain areas of magic, if I don't use the Time Stone's power, your true strength is not far behind mine!"

The Ancient One spoke from the heart. Sitting across from Jerry, she could truly feel that his strength was very close to hers.

"Ancient One, you flatter me. I still have a long way to go to match you."

Jerry clearly did not agree with the Ancient One's assessment.

He knew that she was referring to his normal strength, which was the power he borrowed from the Vishanti.

In reality, the Ancient One, in addition to borrowing power from the Vishanti, had secretly taken a portion of the dark lord Dormammu's power to extend her life and prevent powerful dimensional deities from invading Earth.

If the Ancient One unleashed her full strength, even with the Reality Stone and the Power Stone, he would likely not be a match for her.

Moreover, the Ancient One was far more skilled with the Time Stone than he was with the Power Stone and the Reality Stone.

If he were to fight Odin in Asgard, he might manage a stalemate with his current strength. But if Odin drew power from Asgard, he would be no match.

"Alright, let's not dwell on this. You came to me in such a hurry, so there must be something important!"

The Ancient One didn't linger on the topic of Jerry's strength and instead steered the conversation to the main point.

Jerry didn't beat around the bush and laid out the entire plan of Ego and Thanos's quest to collect the six Infinity Stones, even placing the Power Stone on the table.

"Ancient One, this is the situation. I came to you to ask what should be done with this Power Stone. Perhaps we should store it at Kamar-Taj?"

"Kamar-Taj already houses the Time Stone, and it's not suitable to store another Infinity Stone there!"

The Ancient One immediately rejected the idea without hesitation.

Ridiculous. The Infinity Stones are both a power and a responsibility. Under normal circumstances, with her presence, guarding both the Time Stone and the Power Stone would be feasible.

Key point, now that she has decided to retire and has already informed Eternity, the plan is set.

As for her successor, Stephen Strange, although he is even more talented than she is, he still needs time to grow. It would be a significant achievement if he can protect the Time Stone, let alone the Power Stone as well.

Her strength comes from centuries of cultivation. Stephen will need a considerable amount of time to reach her current level.

"Then, how about entrusting it to King Odin of Asgard? It should be very safe there!"

Seeing Ancient One's immediate rejection, Jerry immediately understood that his previous assessment was correct. He quickly proposed a second suggestion.

Ancient One thought for a moment but shook her head.

"It's not suitable. Asgard already has the Space Stone. If you send the Power Stone there, Odin might send it to the Collector, which wouldn't be safe."

The Infinity Stones represent immense power and endless trouble.

Odin's lifespan is running out, and the prophesied Ragnarok is approaching. Ancient One knew without asking that Odin wouldn't accept the Power Stone.

"Carmen the Mage, you should continue to keep it. With your current strength, I believe you can protect them from being used by evil forces.

Besides, you have already learned how to use them!"

Ancient One smiled and pushed the Power Stone back to Jerry.

Jerry looked at Ancient One and, without further hesitation, put the Power Stone back into his ring world.

"Since the Ancient One trusts me, I will guard it along with the Reality Stone. I will ensure that Thanos's plans do not succeed!"

Jerry had anticipated this outcome.

Over the past few centuries, Ancient One has experienced countless battles and defeated numerous powerful beings, including dimensional deities like Dormammu.

Future threats like Thanos and Ego are not uncommon in her life. For her, they are just another challenge.

Now, she only wants to live out the last two years of her life in peace, then lay down her burdens and follow Eternity to explore the true mysteries of the universe.

Therefore, she is largely unwilling to take on any additional responsibilities that are not part of her plans.

However, even if Ancient One were to store the Power Stone at Kamar-Taj, Jerry would still have access to it. Given his connections, Ancient One wouldn't refuse if he wanted to study or occasionally borrow it. Once Ancient One is gone, it would naturally be his again.

The main purpose of this visit was to make Ancient One and Odin understand that Jerry is not someone who covets the power of the Infinity Stones.

This way, he can use the Power Stone openly on Earth in the future.

After discussing the ownership of the Power Stone with Ancient One, Jerry didn't stay long in Kamar-Taj. Instead, he returned to his villa in Queens with the six members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

However, before he could discuss their next move with the Guardians, his Magic Mirror, which had been dark for a long time due to his absence from Earth, suddenly lit up.

"Huh, it's actually Dr. Banner?"

This was the first time Dr. Banner had contacted him since Jerry gave him the Magic Mirror.

Opening the mirror, a face full of panic appeared.

"Oh, God, they all said they couldn't reach you, but I didn't expect it to work when I tried!

Jerry, I need your help, I... roar... Hulk..."

...
