Chapter 134

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you!"

Meanwhile, the anger on Mephisto's face instantly disappeared, and he looked at Lin Yu with interest: "It's just a soul. Since you insist on protecting it, then I will yield it to you!"

"I just don't know which great god you are; even I have never heard of you..."

Does he want me to report my name?

Lin Yu raised the corner of his mouth, then waved his hand, cutting off the connection between Hell and Earth, and said lightly before the vortex disappeared:

"My name is Stephen Strange, and I am the next Sorcerer Supreme of Earth!"

"Mephisto, you must remember this!"

Before the words fell, the red vortex connecting to Hell completely disappeared.

The white-haired old man in the mirror dimension had a dark face, then sighed and chose to appear.

"Finally willing to come out?"

Lin Yu glanced at him, then stuffed Gwen's soul back into her body, used material shaping magic to repair her injuries, and by the way, gave her a beauty treatment, returning her to the peak of her beauty at eighteen.

After doing all this, Lin Yu clapped his hands with satisfaction and said leisurely to Peter, who was full of hope:

"Wake up~"

Gwen let out a soft moan and finally opened her eyes slowly, looking blankly at her boyfriend, who was covered in tears.

Peter was so excited he couldn't control himself, holding Gwen in his arms and constantly saying things like 'thank God.'

Feeling that familiar body temperature, Gwen finally reacted, raised her still-dizzy head, hugged Peter back, and shed tears of excitement as well.

The young couple, who should have been separated by life and death, reunited in the human world and naturally wanted to cherish the moment.

But Peter was too excited, repeating 'thank God' like a broken record, which made Lin Yu's head full of black lines, and he couldn't help but interrupt the couple:

"Remind you, my name is Lin Yu, not God!"

"It was just a joke before; there's no need to really count my credit to that old man!"

Peter froze upon hearing this, hurriedly raised his head, and changed his words to thank Lin Yu.

Gwen, who was beside him, noticed something wrong and immediately said with a face full of shock:

"Do you mean that God really exists?"

"You almost went to Hell; you tell me if he exists?"

Lin Yu replied irritably, then reminded: "That old thing is not like the one next door in DC; he's a narrow-minded bastard. I'm not from this realm, so it doesn't matter if I scold him a few times and run away, but you shouldn't learn from me!"

Peter and Gwen nodded repeatedly, indicating that although they didn't quite understand Lin Yu's words, they definitely wouldn't offend God.

The white-haired old man beside them had a darker face the more he heard, and couldn't help but say: "Shall we talk somewhere else?"

"I'm the one saying this; what are you afraid of?"

Lin Yu glanced at him, then frowned at Gwen: "I almost forgot to ask, why did you agree to Mephisto? Don't you know how serious it is to fall into Hell?"

"..."

Hearing this, Gwen froze slightly and then fell silent.

Peter saw her expression, and his pupils shrank, astonished:

"Are you crazy? You actually agreed to that demon?"

"..."

Gwen showed a struggle. After a moment of silence, she finally said with a complex expression: "Mephisto... that demon told me that after I die, you will meet a girl named Mary Jane and have a daughter with her."

"He claimed that little Parker's soul belongs to him and will inevitably fall into Hell in the future, unless..."

Lin Yu sighed: "Unless you use your own soul to exchange?"

Gwen nodded silently.

Hearing this, Peter's expression was extremely complex, filled with both being moved and guilt.

He was moved that Gwen was still thinking of him after her death, and guilty that he had led Gwen onto this dead end for his own personal feelings, and even almost made her fall into Hell.

"Silly child..."

Lin Yu touched Gwen and Peter's heads and said warmly: "You can't believe a word of a demon's words. Even if you take a step back and say you really have such a daughter in the future, don't worry."

"As long as that guy dares to come to Earth, you just go find this kind, wise, powerful, prestigious, and magical old grandfather; he will definitely help you!"

Speaking of this, Lin Yu cast his gaze toward the white-haired old man not far away.

Gwen and Peter also raised their heads, staring blankly in the direction of Lin Yu's gaze.

The white-haired old man twitched the corner of his mouth and said gloomily: "Will I?"

Lin Yu nodded seriously: "You will."

"Alright then!" The white-haired old man sighed, then said sternly, "Since Peter Parker's problem has been solved, shouldn't you and I talk properly?"

"No problem!"

Lin Yu happily agreed, then threw a jade pendant to Peter, looked at the young couple, and smiled: "Take this thing; it will protect you for me. Today's events are over; don't have any worries, go back and relax!"

As the anchor point for his entry into this world, Lin Yu naturally had to ensure Peter's safety.

Saving Gwen earlier, fulfilling Peter's wish, and now giving the jade pendant—in the final analysis, these were all measures to stabilize the anchor point of the Dimensional Gate.

Peter naturally didn't know about these things.

He accepted the jade pendant with a face full of gratitude and thanked Lin Yu again.

Lin Yu waved his hand indifferently and turned to look at the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man nodded and immediately pinched a magic formula, wanting to open the mirror dimension.

But before he could raise his hand, the surrounding space began to crack, and mirror-like cracks spread rapidly along the space, separating them and Peter's duo into two worlds in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the dimensional magic he was about to cast appeared in advance, the white-haired old man's movements froze, and he couldn't help but look at the smiling Lin Yu.

"As expected..."

He sighed: "You've already been to the Kamar-Taj of other universes, haven't you?"

Lin Yu smiled: "Not only that, I've also seen another version of you, but compared to you, the strength of that female Ancient One is far worse!"

"Not much worse."

Ancient One raised her hand, used her index finger and thumb to make a fingertip universe, and said modestly: "Just a little bit, perhaps!"

Lin Yu nodded: "There is a saying: 'With great power comes great responsibility.' Since you are so strong, why not take on a bit more and protect the anchor point of the Dimensional Gate for me?"

"..."

Ancient One twitched the corner of her mouth and sighed: "It seems you have a lot of opinions about me!"

"Of course!" Lin Yu stared at Ancient One, "You are the Sorcerer Supreme of this universe and have such powerful strength, yet you sat by and watched Gwen die, and almost let her soul fall into Hell!"

"Is this what a Sorcerer Supreme should do?"

Ancient One said sternly: "Then you have misunderstood me. If you hadn't appeared suddenly, I would have taken action in secret to banish that old bastard Mephisto from Earth!"

"And Gwen?"

"Naturally, she would go to Heaven to enjoy blessings."

Lin Yu said with a dark face: "So she still dies?"

Ancient One sighed: "Although Mephisto is a bastard, he wasn't wrong about one thing: Gwen's death is indeed an extremely important turning point in Spider-Man's life."

"And the Spider-Man of this universe will participate in various multiverse-level events in the future."

"His fate is widely connected; if it weren't necessary, I wouldn't want to interfere easily..."

Speaking of this, Ancient One paused, glanced at Lin Yu, and said: "The Dimensional Gate is not a physical object, and the channel connecting to the Hell Dimension doesn't exist in reality either. Aren't you curious why Peter can see it?"

Yes, Lin Yu was also confused about this.

After a little thought, he hesitated: "Because of spider-sense?"

Ancient One nodded: "Almost. To be precise, it's the Spider Totem!"

After speaking, she began to explain the existence of the Spider Totem to Lin Yu.

This is a multiverse supernatural deity belief created by the ancient goddess Neith.

It has a close connection with a mysterious power called the 'Web of Life and Destiny.' The so-called Spider-Verse, as well as those major events that gathered many different Spider-Men, basically arose because of these two.

"So that's how it is!"

Lin Yu thought thoughtfully: "According to this, my anchor point is quite important; it not only involves a single universe but can also affect the fate of other parallel worlds."

"Yes!"

Ancient One said with a grim expression: "Now can you understand why I didn't take action?"

"No!"

Lin Yu answered without hesitation, then said irritably: "It would be one thing if it were the Ancient One of the universe next door, but you old guy, you're so strong that even I'm not sure I can take you down. How could you worry about this little change?"

"That's because I am compassionate and have the multiverse in my heart!"

White-haired Ancient One said earnestly: "You don't know, the trouble in this universe is much more than the one next door. Countless evil dimensional demon gods are coveting the Earth I protect—of course, I'm not talking about you!"

Lin Yu: "..."

You could have left that sentence out!

Ancient One continued to complain: "Especially this Mephisto, he's very cunning, cultivating ghost-fire teenagers on Earth all day long. With my own strength, protecting this universe is already the limit; I really don't have the energy to deal with multiverse-level crises."

"If you don't believe me, look, I'm so tired that I'm cultivating the next generation of Sorcerer Supreme, preparing to retire directly in the future!"

... Is that so?

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, his consciousness covered half the Earth, and sure enough, he saw Strange sitting cross-legged and practicing in Kamar-Taj.

Ancient One smiled and said: "The first time I saw you, I knew you weren't an ordinary dimensional demon... Lord of Dimensions!"

"Look at you, since you're here, why not stay for a hundred or eighty years? The collection here is no less than the one next door, and I even have the original Book of the Vishanti. Why not borrow it and take a look?"

The original Book of the Vishanti?

Lin Yu was tempted when he heard this, but still vigilant: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Ancient One said sternly: "Of course, it's to entertain the distinguished guests of Kamar-Taj properly!"

"Nonsense!" Lin Yu sneered, "Strange has already worshipped you as his teacher, and Dormammu is coming soon, right?"

"You're keeping me here at this time because you want to use my power to deal with the Dark Dimension?"

Seeing Lin Yu was so difficult to deal with, Ancient One simply laid his cards on the table: "Anyway, I've already put the chips on the table; just say whether you're doing it or not!"

"That goes without saying?" Lin Yu said without hesitation, "Lead the way!"
