Chapter 736: It’s a mess(1/4)

Kama Taj, the residence of the Supreme Mage, is also the largest and most systematic mage training base in the universe.
Although it is never open to the outside world and never contacts any country or government department, many qualified people are still recruited to become apprentices every year.
Eventually become a magic user through study, meditation and exercise.
The best among them will be selected to become one of the guardians of the glorious temple.
It can be said that without the protection of the Kama Taj Master Group, the earth would have been filled with demons and monsters from other dimensions, or even directly sucked into their own domain by demons from other dimensions.
However, with the ignition of the Chrono Beacon Tower and the coverage of a large amount of magical knowledge, skills and new spellcasting environment, this place has become completely different from before.
Especially those ordinary people who suddenly awakened their magical talents because of unintentionally receiving this knowledge, are now being brought to Kama Taj for guidance.
The total number even reached close to sixty people.
Most of them were discovered at the moment when the magical power exploded, and were then brought directly to this peaceful place far away from the world through the opened portal.
Otherwise, just these guys with all kinds of strange magical abilities would make SHIELD and Nick Fury very troubled.
If it is exploited by people with ulterior motives again, there may be extreme situations where all the top leadership groups in some countries are mind-controlled or charmed.
After all, after ordinary people acquire powerful supernatural abilities, their desires will inevitably expand. The probability of becoming a responsible hero will never exceed 0.001%.
On the contrary, becoming the "ancestor" of "I don't eat beef" is closer to reality.
The Supreme Mage Ancient One brought them back to Kama Taj, not so much to teach them how to control their magical power, but to give them a psychological buffer time to adapt.
Gradually correct your mentality by getting along with similar people who possess magical power, so that you will not become arrogant or even have the idea of ​​​​ruling the earth.
What's more important is to prevent those dimensional demons from seizing on mental vulnerabilities and exploiting them.
At this moment, Ancient One was standing in the attic of Kama Taj, looking down from a high position at this group of non-traditional spell casters, with the youngest being no more than ten years old and the oldest being forty years old, gathering in the open square and being led by another group.
Daily meditation classes are conducted under the leadership of a master dressed as a monk.
This can not only calm their restless hearts after suddenly gaining magical power, but also strengthen their mental concentration when casting spells.
After several minutes, the Supreme Mage asked without looking back: "You should know that my life is coming to an end, right?"
"um, yes.
Although Dormammu has been defeated by me and even lost half of the control of the dark dimension, he is only one of the seven thousand six hundred and fifty-two reasons for your death.
In other words, the time of your death is due to your own choice, not some unexpected event.
But I'm curious, why do you have to choose death to get rid of your current responsibilities?
Wouldn’t it be better to just hand over the position of Master Supreme to Stephen Strange and then do what he wants to do?”
Zuo Si was confused and asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
As the Supreme Mage who can confront Dormammu and other dimensional demons head-on, no matter how hard he tries, he still won't be able to defeat the few disciples he has taught. That level of resistance is almost as big as the Pacific Ocean.
And the whole death process was extremely calm, as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times.
"Because only my death can cause Stephen Strange enough excitement.
Let him understand that he has no retreat and must become the new Supreme Mage.
Otherwise, the entire earth will be in dire straits.
What's more, beings like you should know that death sometimes does not mean the end, but is equivalent to a new beginning.
So I don't have any fear of death, and I know for sure what kind of process I will go through after death.
In contrast, I am more worried about how to arrange these people who have gained magical power because of your appearance.
Because my death will inevitably lead to chaos in the entire Karma Taj.
They simply cannot continue to receive asylum here.
In addition, the upcoming Chitauri invasion is also a big problem.
I understand that thanks to the vast amount of knowledge and technology you have spread, the weapons and equipment of Thanos's legions have become more dangerous and deadly than before.
To be precise, the intensity of war in the entire universe has greatly increased as a result.
Just one encounter between the Kree Empire and the Nova Corps caused the complete destruction of at least four nearby planets that originally had civilization."
When he said these words, the expression on Gu Yi's face was extremely serious.
Through the power of the Time Stone, she obviously already knows about the drastic changes that may occur in the future.
Although these changes may not necessarily happen, they are just a high probability possibility, but they are already far from the foreseeable future in the past.
Take the nearest Chitauri invasion as an example.
The earliest predicted result was that the Avengers and humanity would completely defeat the opponent with a nuclear missile, and only part of New York would be affected by the war.
The entire process did not include orbital bombing or other means at all, it was an extremely primitive and backward airborne landing, and there was not even decent long-range support and heavy firepower.
This is exactly the same as a black country in Africa that claims to have the most advanced technology on earth, but is fighting the most primitive tribal wars.
But now?
Ancient One saw the overwhelming fleet occupying the outer space of the Earth, and then activated the orbital attack array to launch a devastating strike.
With just one salvo, more than one-third of the most prosperous cities were completely reduced to ruins, and more than 400 million people became victims of orbital bombing.
The subsequent landing and occupation were easily achieved under the deterrence of the fleet's long-range firepower.
Of course, this is only a future without Zuo Si's intervention.
Therefore, the Supreme Mage is eager to understand the other party's thoughts and determine the uncertain future.
"Please don't worry. I have signed a contract with the United Nations Security Council. As long as they send out a request for help, I will strictly fulfill my obligations in accordance with the terms above."
Zuo Si gave the exact answer with a smile on his face.
"So you were ready to get involved in this war from the beginning?"
Gu Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Both of them have the ability to control time and peer into the future, so they can just ask straightforward questions without beating around the bush.
Zuo Si nodded very simply: "That's right.
In fact, I also have a fleet of my own, which can be used as a small test through this war.
And don’t you think the elites of today’s human society are too lazy?
They are always fighting for the easier-to-obtain stocks on this planet for a small profit, instead of doing their best to create increments.
I plan to use this war to open their eyes and take a good look at this dangerous universe and the cruel reality that they have been reduced to lambs.
Only when ordinary people begin to have survival anxiety will the dominant elite feel the pressure and then use huge external threats to complete internal integration.
Maybe it won't be long before the people on earth will go into space and become the overlords of the entire galaxy.
So sometimes war is not necessarily a bad thing.
After all, all powerful countries and nations today, without exception, were forged in the flames of war."
"Galactic Overlord..."
Gu Dun was stunned for a moment, and one of countless futures instantly appeared in his mind, but he quickly expelled those images from his mind.
Because in her opinion, the probability of success on this road is not high.
On the one hand, the complex power structure within humans on Earth and the conflicts between countries make it difficult for them to truly unite to form a highly centralized federal central government, let alone colonize and expand to other planets in outer space.
Maybe before we start a war with alien civilizations, we will start a war over grabbing resource-rich colonial planets.
On the other hand, the current universe is not an era where all heroes come together.
Although the huge interstellar empire established by the Skrulls has declined, the new overlord the Kree Empire is at its peak, and the emerging Shi'ar Empire is also not a soft persimmon.
In addition, there are many forces such as the Nova Corps, interstellar pirates, Asgard, Thanos' fleet, etc.
Any one of them can cause a devastating blow to humans who have just entered space.
Therefore, Ancient One does not think that this very low probability will become the future of this universe and earth.
In comparison, she was more concerned about the ordinary people in front of her who suddenly awakened to magical power.
Zuo Si obviously noticed this, touched his chin and suggested in an uncertain tone: "Maybe you can hand them over to Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D.
He is trying to form a mage team of his own, and currently has dozens of students who can cast low-level spells.
To be continued...
