In Nepal, at the foot of the Himalayas, Kamar-Taj.
The scenery here was still as it always was, with its classic, antique charm, as if time had not changed it at all.
After Reed said goodbye to the space ability user, he followed the navigation sent by Stark and soon arrived at the door.
After knocking gently three times, the door opened in response, and a black-faced man poked his head out, sizing him up.
"Hello, I am here according to..."
Reed was about to introduce himself, but was immediately interrupted: "No need for introductions. Mr. Stark has already informed us of your situation in advance. Just come in."
Looking at the open door, Reed was a little stunned, but he still quickly followed the other person's footsteps.
Entering the interior was a spacious courtyard, where dozens of men and women in monk robes were solemnly tracing circles in the air.
With their gestures, intricate patterns bloomed out of thin air before their eyes.
Looking at these gold-edged patterns, Reed's eyes sparkled with an incredibly curious gleam of research.
But he still understood the task at hand, and compared to magic, a multiverse travel device was obviously more appealing to him.
"The Ancient One is inside. You can just go in directly. I'll wait for you here to come out," the dark-faced burly man said.
After Reed thanked him, he walked into the courtyard and saw a bald woman in an orange robe and a long-faced man chatting.
"Alright, Stephen, we have a new guest. You go back and think carefully about whether you want to follow me to learn magic," the Ancient One said with a smile.
Stephen Strange nodded wearily. The once-renowned medical master, the best surgical doctor in New York, had now become unemployed.
He had seriously studied surgery for nearly 20 years, but in the face of the life-and-death, flesh-and-bone vitality and superpowers that could directly reverse time, he was utterly uncompetitive.
Standing in front of the chariot of the era rolling forward, the final result was so bleak.
Fortunately, superpowers revitalized the already excessive productivity.
Even a lazybones, in the face of the world's lowest welfare guarantees, only needed to work symbolically for six hours to live no more miserably than the middle class of a year ago.
He, who had been drifting along as an unemployed person, suddenly received a government notice to be assigned a job, telling him to follow the map navigation to Kamar-Taj to learn magic.
With the idea of just coming to take a look, he saw the Ancient One, who had been waiting here.
Reed watched Stephen leave and sat in his previous seat, saying, "Ancient One, Mr. Stark asked me to inquire about the Reality Stone."
"The Reality Stone?" The Ancient One wore a peaceful smile, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. The Time Stone on her chest emitted a wisp of green light.
Compared to her previous habit of checking every three days or every five days, she hadn't used the Time Stone for a while.
Because this spacetime was surprisingly safe. As Bai Ye's main universe, various gods were protecting it, so she didn't need to worry about these things at all.
Next, she just needed to follow the original plan, take in Stephen, this unemployed refugee, teach him well, and pass on the Time Stone. Then, she could retire completely.
Of course, dying was impossible, or at least, she couldn't die now.
The Eternal Being had recently sent her a dream, repeatedly emphasizing that she must remain at her post and live well until Bai Ye became a being beyond this universe.
The next moment, the magic inscribed within the Time Stone was triggered, and countless futures appeared before her eyes.
Under Reed's gaze, after a few seconds, she slowly said, "According to future predictions, the Aether is already on a young man. However, he is extremely dangerous."
"If you want to subdue him, there's a chance it could lead to the destruction of Earth. To be safe, I recommend that His Majesty take action, but how to persuade him depends on you."
Reed was surprised to see her close her eyes for a few seconds and then suddenly say so much.
He nodded, indicating that he understood, and then it was time for the second matter that brought him here.
But before he could speak, the Ancient One continued, "I understand your meaning. Next, I will use the Time Stone to allow you to conduct a month of research within a projected future."
"After you come out, your second objective will be nearly complete."
As soon as the words fell, Reed felt a flash of light before his eyes. He then saw the Ancient One smile at him and say, "Go and study. After a month, everything will collapse, leaving only memories."
With that, an orange-yellow circle of light appeared, sucking Reed in. When he came to his senses, he saw that he had returned to the laboratory.
"A month of research, huh?" A hint of excitement flashed in Reed's eyes. He looked at the assistants around him and said, "Don't just stand there, bring the research reports. Let me see how far we've gotten."
In reality, one second later, after Reed reacted, he saw that he had returned to Kamar-Taj. The Ancient One was still sitting in front of him as she had been a month ago.
"Thank you for your help," Reed respectfully stood up and bowed before turning to leave.
Outside, Mordo waited for less than a minute before seeing Reed emerge from the building with a satisfied expression.
"Everything went smoothly. Thank you very much for your help," Reed said with a smile.
Mordo nodded without a smile, then led Reed outside.
At the same time, on the other side, as the competition was in full swing in the Antarctic arena.
At the same time, Bai Ye felt, amidst the barrage of gunfire, that more than a dozen ships, each over a hundred meters long, were heading towards Earth.
"What the hell!"
Bai Ye's moving figure was unaffected, but an orange halo appeared in his left eye.
This eyeball-sized halo connected to a place tens of thousands of miles away. Thus, Bai Ye's eyes could see the distant images through the halo in front of him.
His gaze pierced through the portal, making the Dark Elves' concealment seem utterly useless. He saw right through them.
"What the hell is this?"
Bai Ye questioned for the second time, recognizing the beings before him as the Dark Elves from Thor: The Dark World. He was just unimpressed with their strength.
These stinky aliens are coming to Earth to beg for food. Have I been too well-behaved in this universe? Bai Ye fell into thought.
He felt he hadn't slaughtered enough. His decision to wipe out the prison was definitely the right one, now that he thought about it.
Looking at the Dark Elves' fleet, which thought they were sneaking around, Bai Ye slightly pouted, then spat.
"Ptooey!"
In an instant, the saliva, moving at thousands of times the speed of sound, shot through the space portal, stabilized by the field.
