Marvel: My Sign-in System-Chapter 266: C258

On the contrary, the Ancient One has always been a sensible person. She is more of a seeker on the path of knowledge. She became the Supreme Mage and guarded Earth for thousands of years, all because of responsibility. At certain times, she would become more indifferent, treating everyone and everything with extreme rationality. Rational to the point of perversion.

Even when dealing with her betrayed and fallen disciple, Kaecilius, she might have felt loneliness and self-blame for a moment. But as time passed, she would return to being that cold and rational seeker again.

For example, if history changed and Leon appeared, she would observe it closely to see if it would have an indelible negative impact on the future, because Earth's existence is very special. So special, in fact, that once something happens to the Earth, it could affect her as well.

She wanted to pursue eternity, but she didn't want to leave any trouble for herself. With the appearance of Leon and Wanda, she changed her original idea and allowed Wanda to become the Supreme Mage. The simplest reason was that Strange was good enough, but Wanda was even better. As the owner of Chaos Magic, her talents surpassed Strange's.

Does the Ancient One really not know about Wanda? Having traveled through the multiverse, she has seen various versions of Wanda. The biggest reason she was able to abandon Strange in favor of Wanda was because Wanda's fate had changed.

The appearance of Leon completely altered Wanda's fate and character. Wanda would now be more mature and determined. She would no longer be the unstable Scarlet Witch who was most likely to be out of control. Instead, she had a family, emotions, and a more "perverted" and talented Leon by her side.

After several years of observation, the Ancient One began to interact with Leon and Wanda. Otherwise, she would have mercilessly eliminated everyone, except for Wanda's twins, including Leon. This wasn't just about being responsible for the universe—it was also about being responsible for herself.

Leon understood this well, but he didn't point it out. Both sides generally knew each other well, both foxes with thousands of years of experience. They maintained only a superficial alliance of interests. The Ancient One invested in Wanda, and Leon and his family wanted people for people, positions for positions, resources for resources, and knowledge for knowledge. In return, Leon and Wanda provided a stable rear, and, as "friends" and "mentors," could offer help when appropriate.

He spoke naturally.

"I think Wanda and the others will be very happy if they can be praised by Master Ancient One."

"Ha, that's not necessary," the Ancient One said with a smile, shaking her head. "You know them better than I do. They won't be very happy with anyone else's praise except from you."

Leon raised the corners of his mouth and said nothing, because what the Ancient One said was indeed true.

After a while of silence, the Ancient One spoke softly. "You've caused quite a stir in many places recently. It's been shocking. Many have set their sights on you. Although Mephisto won't reveal it, you've made too much noise, and your identity won't stay hidden for long."

"Therefore, you'll definitely be under the watchful eyes of many soon." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

This was a reminder from the Ancient One. To put it bluntly, it was Mephisto—the "blasting hammer" of Leon's trip to Hell. This influence spreads immediately. After all, Mephisto is the ruler of Hell. No matter who opposes him, or even his so-called "allies" in the community of interests, everyone recognizes Mephisto's status and strength. But such a powerful figure was suddenly beaten by an unknown individual.

This was akin to a farmer from an unknown country bursting into the White House and beating the president in the office.

Don't be fooled by how the impact of Mephisto's defeat was portrayed to Leon and the Ancient One—across the multiverse, he has great fame in many dimensions. You can imagine how strong someone must be to beat up Mephisto. Regardless of whether Leon had any plans or not, a powerful man with an unknown rise will naturally draw attention.

Of course, Leon knew this, but he didn't dwell on it. Because sooner or later, he would reach this point. It was just a matter of time.

"Master Ancient One just wants to give me a reminder?" Leon asked, returning the question.

"As a fellow disciple, can't I remind you?" The Ancient One's response was playful.

Leon laughed loudly. "Then I have to thank you."

"The best thank you is for you to give me a safe retirement."

"Then I can't do that. Maybe I'll speed things up during this time." Speaking of this, Leon's eyes were filled with ambition. That fighting spirit and domineering presence stirred something in the Ancient One's heart. She knew very well that the man beside her seemed to have never interfered with human society or sought to rule the Earth. He was difficult to read, almost Buddhist in nature.

But beneath this calmness, there was an immense ambition that she couldn't even imagine. This kind of ambition also made the Ancient One firmly believe that Leon's future would lead him to become an extraordinary strongman, reaching levels unimaginable to others.

With a touch of self-mockery or helplessness, she touched the Eye of Agamotto on her chest.

"Because of your appearance, time is no longer a game. It's like a pool of turbid water, and you can no longer see the scene clearly beneath it."

"That's fun, isn't it?" she continued. "Although you can see the future and obtain important information, you lose the surprise of what's to come."

"That's why I want to retire. I don't want to be caught in a storm that no one can predict."

The Ancient One lowered her hand, then paused, changing the subject. "What do you think of Thanos?"

Leon raised an eyebrow. "Master Ancient One seems very sure that I must know him?"

"In my eyes, I believe you know some things better than I do. To be honest, if I hadn't been observing you, I would've thought you were the reincarnation of an ancient god." The Ancient One glanced at Leon with a strange look, as though she were studying a freak.

Leon's origin was still a mystery to her. She had yet to find the reason behind his existence. He was like someone from ancient texts—born to know things, or perhaps a god born into this world.
