Chapter 769: The Three Ancient Powers (Second Update)
Chapter 769: The Three Ancient Powers (Second Update)
New York Sanctuary.
"Seriously, you don't have a single cent left?"
Wang, wearing a Kamar-Taj sorcerer's robe, looked at Stephen, who was descending the stairs, with a speechless expression.
Stephen stuffed his hands into his pockets, stopped, and shrugged.
"The attachment to material possessions is a betrayal of the spirit."
"I'll pass that on to the guy at the grocery store, so he only gives you spiritual sustenance."
Wang rolled his eyes at Stephen's words and began to search his pockets, a smile appearing on his face.
"Fortunately, I still have two hundred."
"Dollars?"
Stephen paused.
"No, rupees."
Wang glanced at the coin in his hand and replied.
Stephen thought for a moment.
"Two hundred rupees, how much is that in dollars?"
"About one and a half dollars."
Wang gave an embarrassed smile.
Stephen's mouth twitched slightly.
"Whatever you two want to eat, I can treat you."
At that moment, the sanctuary's door suddenly opened, and a handsome figure walked in with a smile.
Seeing the figure, Stephen and Wang's faces lit up with surprise and joy.
"Jerry, it's been a while since we last saw you. I didn't expect you to come here to visit us."
Since the last battle in the Wasteland against Thanos, Stephen had returned to Kamar-Taj to continue his role as the Sorcerer Supreme.
Unlike Tony and others, who spent most of their time in the Wasteland, as the Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen was required to be stationed at Kamar-Taj and the major sanctuaries unless a major crisis arose. This was to ensure he could quickly respond to any dimensional beings from other worlds who might invade and pose a threat to Earth.
Earth, being the center of this universe, is also the origin of many ancient gods and dimensional deities. It frequently attracts beings from other universes or dimensions.
The responsibility of Kamar-Taj is to address any such threats as soon as they appear, preventing them from causing destruction on Earth.
"I want a tuna sandwich."
Knowing that Jerry was a wealthy man, Wang unhesitantly ordered his favorite lunch.
"No problem!"
Jerry waved his hand, and a top-tier tuna sandwich appeared in his hand.
Wang looked at the tuna sandwich in Jerry's hand and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Transfiguration Spell, it's such a useful magic, but I always find it hard to master."
In the library of Kamar-Taj, there was a magic book left by Jerry, containing many spells he had learned in the Harry Potter world. The Transfiguration Spell was one of them. However, this systematic magic was extremely complex and differed significantly from the principles of magic in Kamar-Taj. Despite Wang's good aptitude for magic, he couldn't easily grasp it.
Not all mystic sorcerers are as talented as Stephen. Most mystic sorcerers at Kamar-Taj specialize in only two or three types of magic, and those are usually combat-oriented.
Moreover, the magic power they borrow must be repaid.
"I've studied it extensively, but for some reason, the food I transfigure always tastes bad, though the beer I transfigure is decent."
Stephen also sighed.
Jerry's magic book had taught him a great deal, and he could transfigure one type of food into another, but creating food out of thin air was still a challenge.
And there are too many magic books in Kamar-Taj. This kind of magic that doesn't help in battle isn't worth spending too much energy on.
"You just lack a bit of technique, which I can help you with."
Jerry waved his hand, and a table appeared, laden with food and drinks from all over the world.
"Let's sit down and chat. I also need your help with something."
After a satisfying meal, Jerry explained the purpose of his visit to the New York Sanctuary to Stephen.
It was similar to his previous visit to Peter, where he wanted to use Stephen as a medium to open a portal to the multiverse connected to Stephen.
However, this time it wasn't to steal other Earths from different universes, but to find Professor X.
Yes, the mutant headmaster of Xavier's School for Mutants, who possesses telepathy.
The reason for seeking out Professor X was that Jerry wanted to access the universe dominated by the X-Men to obtain one of the three ancient powers of the Marvel universe: the Phoenix Force.
In the Marvel universe, there are three extremely powerful ancient forces: the Chaos Force, the Phoenix Force, and the Fairy Force.
The Chaos Force is the source of Wanda's power and that of the multiversal deity Thane, who had previously attacked him.
Thane was definitely too powerful for him to handle now, and while Dormammu might be possible, even then, he could only defeat the latter, not prevent the escape.
The Fairy Force was too powerful and had its own consciousness, enjoying the consumption of star systems and universes. If Jerry encountered it now, he would likely have to flee for his life.
The only force that he could currently obtain and absorb was the Phoenix Force, an ancient power born at the dawn of the universe.
The complete Phoenix Force is one of the top multiversal powers, but it has always been in a dispersed state, residing in hosts across different universes.
Most of these hosts are a mutant named Jean Grey.
So, the person Jerry ultimately needed to find was not Professor X, but the Omega-Level Mutant Jean Grey.
However, in the Earth of this universe and the dozen or so Spider-Man universes he had visited, Jean Grey did not exist.
Finding Jean Grey, who has been host to the Phoenix Force, in over a million Marvel universes without a medium would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
So, Jerry thought of Doctor Strange, Stephen.
If he remembered correctly, in one of the parallel universes where Stephen is from, there is a universe with the Illuminati, and one of the elders in the Illuminati is Professor X.
In universes where Professor X exists, Jean Grey is likely to be present as well.
Even if the Jean Grey in that universe is dead, he could still use Professor X to enter other universes with Professor X, and there would surely be a Jean Grey who is alive in one of them.
Once he found a living Jean Grey, he could use her as a medium to find all the Jean Greys in other universes and collect the Phoenix Force within them.
Even if he could only gather a small portion of the Phoenix Force, it would still be enough to transform and rapidly grow his ring universe.
Actually, before coming to the Sanctuary, his first thought was to find Wanda's brother, Quicksilver, and he did indeed go to find him.
However, after several traversals, he discovered that Wanda's brother, Quicksilver, and the Quicksilver from the X-Men world, who is Magneto's son, seemed to be different individuals, sharing only the same nickname.
