Chapter 671: The Powerful Eternity (Second Update)
Chapter 671: The Powerful Eternity (Second Update)
"Sphere—Unleash!"
Having just landed on the hospital rooftop, Jerry immediately activated his sphere, enveloping himself within it.
At that moment, the Ancient One's soul had already separated from the body, using the most powerful time magic to temporarily freeze the entire Earth's time.
If Jerry didn't activate his sphere to isolate the Ancient One's time magic with countless laws, he would also be temporarily frozen within the time magic.
"Quickly return to your body, let me operate on you, or you'll run out of time!"
"Time is relative. You haven't yet adapted to the identity of a mage. I've spent countless time exploring the future and preventing countless terrible disasters. However, it seems that I am destined not to survive this time."
After isolating the Ancient One's time magic with his sphere, Jerry used his powerful hearing to overhear the conversation between Stephen and the Ancient One below.
The Ancient One used his death to make Stephen understand the responsibilities of the Supreme Mage and then brainwashed him, shaking Stephen's resolve to return to being a doctor.
The Ancient One's theory, summarized by Jerry, was that being a doctor could only save one person, but being the Supreme Mage could save the entire world.
How could a man in his thirties be a match for someone hundreds of years old? After a few rounds, Stephen was completely defeated and agreed to take over the position of Supreme Mage after the Ancient One's death.
The Ancient One, having achieved the desired result, released the time magic and disappeared before Stephen.
"Everything arranged?"
On the hospital rooftop, Jerry looked at the Ancient One's soul that had appeared beside him and retracted his sphere.
The Ancient One smiled.
"Everything is arranged. Please take good care of Stephen and Kamar-Taj in the future."
"Of course, we might meet again someday!"
Jerry nodded and smiled in return.
The Ancient One was going to follow Eternity, not truly dying. Once Jerry's strength reached the level of Eternity, he would naturally come into contact with Eternity, and then he could see the Ancient One again.
"I believe in you. You are the most talented mage I have ever seen, without a doubt."
The Ancient One had a high regard for Jerry's strength and potential.
"Alright, it's time for me to go. He's here to pick me up!"
As the Ancient One spoke, Jerry's pupils suddenly contracted. He sensed an overwhelmingly powerful force, one he couldn't even begin to describe, appearing beside him.
This force was so vast, so immense, and so irresistible, as if a mere touch could utterly annihilate everything about him.
Straining with all his might, he slowly turned his head. A bizarre humanoid being appeared before his eyes.
Or rather, it couldn't even be called a being. It merely looked humanoid, but its face was indiscernible. Only within the massive shadow could countless stars and black holes be seen flashing intermittently.
Jerry knew that this must be Eternity, a supreme existence at the multiverse level.
According to legend, Eternity is the embodiment of the entire multiverse. Each individual universe has its own Eternity, and each of these individual Eternities is a cell of the multiverse Eternity.
He has three siblings: Death, Infinity, and Oblivion. However, they are all him, just different facets of the same being, much like a person with multiple personalities.
"Goodbye, Carmen!"
Seeing Eternity appear, the Ancient One waved to Jerry and then transformed into a beam of light, entering Eternity's massive body.
Jerry stood still, staring at Eternity in front of him.
The pressure from Eternity was immense, so much so that Jerry dared not make any sudden movements, fearing that the other party might notice something amiss.
After all, only he knew that he was not a native of this world but had been sent here by the creator of the Panel, which he still carried with him.
Originally, as a peak Celestial, he felt that the Multiverse-level beings were powerful, but he had no concrete understanding of their strength, so he didn't take them too seriously.
It wasn't until he faced Eternity, and possibly just the Eternity of a single universe, that he realized just how powerful a Multiverse-level being truly was.
The power of a Multiverse-level being was so great that it made him doubt whether his Panel, which had never been detected before, could remain hidden this time.
Mostly, he hadn't expected Eternity to appear here, so close to him.
"You seem a bit strange!"
Just as Jerry stood there, motionless, waiting for Eternity to leave, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
This voice immediately caused cold sweat to break out on Jerry's forehead.
"Has he noticed?"
This was Jerry's first thought.
However, he soon relaxed when Eternity's second voice rang in his mind:
"But you're quite impressive, very promising. If you ever want to follow me, you can call my name!"
With these words, Eternity's massive form disappeared from the spot.
When Eternity first saw Jerry, he indeed felt that something about the human seemed off, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
He didn't dwell on it, though. While he was the embodiment of the Multiverse, it didn't mean he could control everything within it. There were still things he couldn't fully understand.
For example, emotions. He sometimes found himself in special moods and even argued with his siblings.
His appreciation for Jerry was genuine. His purpose was to ensure the healthy development of the Multiverse, and he admired beings with the potential to maintain the order of the universe.
"Finally gone!"
Once he could no longer sense Eternity's presence, Jerry let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the rooftop railing.
It's hard not to feel pressured when you encounter a being who could crush you with a single thought, especially when you have a secret you can't share with anyone.
If Eternity discovered the secret of his Panel, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Imagine if one day, in his own dimension, he suddenly discovered an intruder from another world, and he had no idea how the intruder got in. What would he do?
Given his nature, he would undoubtedly imprison the intruder, interrogate them with severe torture, and probe their soul to understand how they entered his world without his knowledge.
Thinking about this, Jerry suddenly felt a wave of fear.
Fortunately, when he brought Hermione here last time, they didn't encounter Eternity, and Kuro and the others were still in his ring world.
Otherwise, if a person with the aura of another world had been seen by Eternity, with Eternity's power, the discrepancy would have been immediately noticed.
