Chapter 135: I came to discuss terms, Ancient One, Life Blessing Magic

I allow you to take some items, but the people you kidnapped must stay; you cannot harm the life of this world; as for the power of the Time Stone.

I cannot give it to you, and since you know I have the Time Stone, you should know that no matter what destructive consequences you cause, I can use it to repair them. Ancient One finally spoke.

Actually, if the opponent causes massive destruction, she can still use the Time Stone to repair it, restoring everything to its original state.

The Time Stone possesses extremely powerful power.

However, using the power of the Infinity Stone once is okay, but what about a second time? A third time? Does this guy have to have me use the Time Stone to repair after each of his destructions? Ancient One lacks confidence in leaving him; this is the most important.

After the opponent silently left last time, Ancient One had already reinforced some of Earth's spatial protective barriers, ensuring the safety of the three great sanctuaries.

But this guy actually came silently again, sneaking into my world once more, so Ancient One clearly knows that she cannot stop him from entering this world.

If this time we completely offend him, then can we or our successor really handle his retaliation next time?

As the guardian of the entire Earth, Ancient One has many important tasks; in the Dark Dimension, there are many existences more evil than this guy, all plotting to devour Earth; they are utter destruction demons.

The opponent is not an evil demon, but more like a sorcerer's existence, although the magic he cultivates is quite strange.

So if negotiation is possible at times, she would prefer to choose negotiation to avoid battle; if not absolutely necessary, she will not choose battle.

I don't want your Time Stone either; I just want a part of its energy, which causes you no loss?

Moreover, you saw that I possess the power to easily destroy a city, but essentially I am not an evil demon; on the contrary, I am a nature-system deity. Luode smiled and spoke, while a life energy appeared on his palm.

Being able to negotiate is naturally best; although I'm not afraid of fighting, after fighting I would have to withdraw, after all the power of the Time Stone is too strange.

You are a nature-life system deity? I doubt it! Although you have strong life force and natural power inside you.

But there is also an extremely evil force, albeit very weak, and the little guy beside you is completely an evil life. Ancient One spoke.

Indeed, the opponent's body does contain a life force, but when he first came, his whole body was filled with an evil force, a very evil force, as if it were the nemesis of life and order.

Everyone has some secrets, and you are no exception, right?

You also have strong dark power inside you; I can feel it, even surpassing my power. Luode spoke.

Regarding this, Ancient One did not deny it, in order to prolong her life to guard Earth.

She also absorbed a portion of dark power; the dark power constantly erodes her soul.

Like this! I'll give you a complete recipe for the Desperation Potion; I obtained a formula from a few years in the future using the Time Stone, which is an improved version by Hydra; you release these two ordinary people, and I will erase their memories, for they have their own destinies. Ancient One spoke.

If they were just ordinary people, Ancient One would naturally not intervene, but these two are related to Tony Stark's fate trajectory.

It is a life experience of Tony Stark's spiritual evolution, even concerning him and Little Pepper, whether they can successfully get together, a tribulation experience.

Even without this crisis, it's uncertain whether Iron Man will upgrade his armor in the future; many future things will be changed.

Tony Stark's future is crucial, and so is his and Little Pepper's daughter's future.

If we let him disturb what Tony Stark originally had to experience, perhaps in the future that Iron Man would not have that 1% chance to win that war.

So Ancient One Sorcerer's bottom line is that she cannot let Luode take these two doctors away; they must follow their original destinies.

The opponent's target is the Desperation Virus; that's no problem. She can, via the power of the Time Stone, go to a future parallel timeline to obtain a perfect formula for him; even a large batch of finished potions would be fine.

No problem, this can be done; my ultimate goal is the Desperation Virus potion, so how about the power of the Time Stone? Luode spoke.

I still don't know your honorable surname.

You may call me Azure Dragon Demigod Luode.

Okay, Mr. Luode, please come with me to Kamar-Taj; let's discuss in detail how? Ancient One Sorcerer casually opened a portal and spoke.

Luode smiled, handed over the two doctors he had kidnapped to Ancient One Sorcerer, then crossed the portal; these two doctors were taken to the pirate world, still needing to find a way to subdue them before letting them start research; it would be better to directly obtain ready-made stuff! On Ancient One's side, she slightly altered their memories, then restored the laboratory's condition, and then left together with Luode.

Have a seat, Mr. Luode, what would you like to drink? Coffee, black tea, green tea? Or alcohol? Ancient One Sorcerer changed clothes, brought Luode to a large living room, and spoke.

Around there were many sorcerers, all curiously observing; the Supreme Sorcerer today brought back a guest.

Just a cup of tea will do. Luode spoke.

Ancient One nodded and ordered her subordinate sorcerer.

Soon, a sorcerer brought two cups of tea and respectfully handed them to Luode.

Please enjoy!

Luode smiled and nodded. After the tea-serving sorcerer left, Luode looked at Ancient One and spoke: Then let's talk! Talk about a result satisfactory to both sides and beneficial to both.

You have enormous energy on you, even transcending mortal life; I want to know why? Ancient One spoke.

Are you asking why, last time I came I was obviously weak and my power was an extremely evil force, but why has it changed so much this time? Luode took a sip of tea, smiling, and asked.

Regarding this, Ancient One Sorcerer did not deny it, but looked at Luode with a calm expression and then nodded.

Indeed it's strange; last time the opponent came, casually sending a sorcerer here would have sufficed, but this time after he came, even I lack confidence to take him down.

In just a few short months, what has the person before me experienced to actually complete a life-level transcendence, directly surpassing the concept of mortals? Hehe! Ancient One Sorcerer, this has nothing to do with our transaction; please excuse me, I won't answer.

I have a very special spell called Natural Blessing, which can increase a living being's lifespan. Luode spoke.

As a wilderness demigod who controls life force and simultaneously manipulates several elemental forces, Luode possesses a blessing ability that can bestow a blessing on a mortal-level life form, enhancing its vitality.

Even if I become stronger in the future, these blessings can still be changed, for example, allowing the recipient to master some natural-attributed power and magic, or even manipulate elemental forces.

What do you mean? You want to use this blessing to exchange for the energy of the Time Stone? Ancient One asked.

"Exactly, I want to make a deal with you; I can bestow Natural Blessing upon you, letting you live several decades longer."

"Your Kamar-Taj sorcerers possess tremendous magical power."

"I also happen to have a strong magical power, which can be exchanged with you."

"Let us learn each other's spells from another world; what do you think?" Luode spoke.

Portal technology, as well as the technology to open mirror space, are both very useful for Luode.

Thanks! I don't need blessings or anything; if I wanted, I could live a long time. Ancient One shook her head and directly refused Luode.

She has absorbed power from the Dark Dimension; if she wants, she can live a long time; possessing the Time Stone, she can also foresee future fortune and misfortune; if she didn't not want to live, she would basically never die.

I only want the energy of the Time Stone; if I don't get what I want, I will be very disappointed, and when disappointed I become very angry; believe me, Ancient One Sorcerer, you won't want to see the consequences of my anger. Luode revealed a smile and spoke.

"I can let you come into contact with the Time Stone, but only for one day, and during that day I will accompany you, as an exchange."

"In the future you may come to our world, but you must not harm this world's civilians, nor cause massive destruction to our world." Ancient One spoke.

As long as the other party isn't trying to seize the Time Stone, she can accept it; if they can promise not to cause destruction in this world, that's also fine.

"I can agree to that, but if someone provokes me, I won't hold back." Luode said.

"Sure, as for magic, I can teach you a spell to open a mirror space; you probably want to learn that, right?" the Ancient One said.

The other party possesses very strong spatial power, but they don't seem to know how to use it yet; the ability to create a subspace will eventually be naturally understood.

It might be better to do him a favor now.

"Hahaha! I like talking to smart people, Ancient One; I will grant you or a person you designate a blessing of life, letting them live decades longer.

This promise is permanent; if you don't want it, you can also pass it to someone else, and teach me how to cast that portal-opening spell?" Luode said.

"OK! We have a deal."

"Ancient One! Don't you want to try magic from another world? Very powerful magic." Luode laughed, then took out a book recording fel magic.

It details how to receive the fel infusion to become a warlock, includes various fel magics, and Luode even infused a strand of fel energy into it, allowing a person to undergo the fel infusion and become a warlock.

"Take a look! The spells on it are very peculiar, entirely from another world's magic." Luode said.

"No! I can feel how dangerous the magic on it is, even the energy is dangerous; thank you, we don't need this." the Ancient One frowned and pushed back the fel manual Luode handed over.

"Haha! Power itself is neither good nor evil; the key is how you use it. You yourself have also accepted a power from the dark dimension, haven't you? Believe me, although this power is evil, it won't control your mind." Luode said.

Looking at the fel magic book Luode handed over, the Ancient One hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to refuse.

Power itself is neither good nor evil; that saying might fool ordinary people, but not oneself! Practicing dark magic indeed twists the user's mind—this is no joke; many mages have fallen after contacting the dark dimension's power.

Luode saw the other party refuse, didn't say more, took back the fel magic book; it seems the plan to tempt the Ancient One into learning some fel magic failed.

"If you give me some of those life magic spells, I could accept some exchange." the Ancient One said.

She doesn't want the evil magical energy, but she still wants some normal magical power.

"Hahaha! This kind of life-energy spell, I can bring some spellbooks next time, and we can do some magical exchange." Luode said.

After returning to Azeroth, one can also find time to learn a bit of druidic ability, even some monk spells; as a wild demigod, Luode can easily master the power of the life profession.

Moreover, there are still hundreds of druids under one's command!

"Hmm! I'll fetch the Time Stone now; you can absorb its power for a day and night, during which I'll stay here." the Ancient One said.

This is a beginning of mutual trust; if Luode dares to play any tricks, she can conveniently respond here.

"No problem; I can also learn from the Ancient One how to open portals and mirror space." Luode said with a smile.

"I promise to teach you; next time remember to bring some of those life magic spells." the Ancient One said with a smile.

Soon the two arrived at a secret chamber; the Ancient One took out the Eye of Agamotto, revealing the Time Stone inside, and let Luode begin absorbing its energy.

While Luode absorbed the Time Stone's energy, he also began learning from the Ancient One how to open portals and the mirror space ability.

These two spells are the most practical.
