Chapter 160: Smart People Doing Stupid Things
, The Genie Starting from Marvel
"No need to be too serious, all sit down and chat." The Ancient One waved her hand, and several chairs appeared under everyone, without any trace of casting spells, as if these chairs were originally in this position.
Ivan Vanko placed the communication equipment on the small bench in front of him, aimed the camera at the Ancient One so that Cobb could see clearly, and then sat on the side honestly, without any intention of bristling.
All other heroes had the same mood as him now, even more honest than when they were in kindergarten facing teachers when they were young.
"If you have any questions you want to ask, just speak up, I will try my best to give you the answers." The Ancient One said with a smile. When facing these people in front of her, her attitude was completely different from when facing Loki.
Everyone was silent for a long time, and Rogers raised his hand. "Supreme Sorcerer, may I ask, did you not participate during the previous world wars?"
The Ancient One shook her head. "For internal activities that will not cause the collapse of civilization or the destruction of Earth, the Supreme Sorcerer and the Masters of the Mystic Arts will not participate. This is a rule. Our main task is to resist dimension demon gods who peek at Earth, such as Thanos or Dormammu."
"Who set the rule..." Rogers muttered. As an old soldier who had experienced World War II, he was extremely dissatisfied with this rule.
"Me." The Ancient One replied without concealment. "Any other questions?"
Rogers put down his hand. "No more."
"Supreme Sorcerer, may I ask, is the Chitauri fleet included in the objects you don't interfere with?" Tony asked immediately after. He was more concerned about the things in front of him now. There was no need to talk about the past; they couldn't travel through time anyway.
The Ancient One nodded. "If it's just a simple fleet, we generally won't interfere on a large scale, unless Thanos comes along, or the Black Order under him comes, exceeding your limit of endurance."
A cosmic fleet is within our endurance range? You think too highly of us!
Tony's mind was full of complaints, but he didn't say these words. He also knew how to speak according to the atmosphere; he just didn't usually look at it. "Then can you introduce this Thanos and these fleets to us?"
"Regarding the situation of the Chitauri fleet, Loki exaggerated. Because Asgard's border troops couldn't just watch them cross the border. After passing through layers of defensive lines, even without Odin's command, those fleets would at most have half left. You need to pay more attention to Thanos and Dormammu." The Ancient One emphasized.
"In this universe, the mainstream way of civilization survival is to coexist with the indigenous gods of their own mother planet, promoting the strength of the gods while the civilization progresses, so as to maintain necessary military deterrence. However, there are exceptions, such as Earth, where the indigenous gods died because of accidents before Odin conquered the Nine Realms. For another example, Titan, where the universal strength of individuals and the extreme development of technology make them not need the help of indigenous gods."
The Ancient One continued to introduce some situations in this universe to these people in front of her. You have to hand over the work before retiring. "Thanos was once a member of Titan, but he believed that the disputes in the universe were because there were too many people in the universe. He led by example, slaughtered Titan clean, and prepared to kill half of the life in the entire universe through some way."
Hearing this, Johnson, who had studied biology, couldn't help it. "No way, is there no biology in the universe? When environmental pressure remains unchanged, when the population is half, it is generally when the population reproduction efficiency is highest. Is it possible that this research result has a large difference from the big environment in the universe?"
The Ancient One looked at Johnson. The Genie's badge was blinding in her field of vision. "There are differences, because not all organisms are bisexual reproduction. However, the difference is not too big. It can only be said that when smart people do stupid things, they are either paid or have other interests."
Johnson closed his mouth. That makes sense.
"Then Dormammu, the Dark Dimension he is in is also an exception, an existence that mainly develops by devouring life in other dimensions. In terms of individual martial power, he is about the same as Thanos, but this is without considering the blessing of the Dark Dimension behind him." The Ancient One continued. "Dormammu and Thanos are the two main enemies Earth currently faces."
Cobb had something to say now. "Your Excellency, what is so special about Earth that it is worth the attention of these existences?"
"The attention is far more than these people."
The Ancient One pointed to Constantine. "Hell Dimension, Mephisto."
Then she drew a circle toward Johnson and the others. "Transcendental existence, the Genie."
Immediately after, she pointed to Thor and Loki who were arguing not far
Finally, she gestured toward herself, "Myself and the Vishanti, as well as more demon gods hidden even deeper; the specific reasons are inconvenient to disclose."

"Then how should we resist these two demon gods?" Ivan Vanko asked immediately after.
"Not you all; it is that a portion of you will resist Dormammu, while another portion will mainly resist Thanos. You can discuss the specific reasons in private," the Ancient One explained.
Ivan Vanko looked to the side and discovered that Johnson and the others were all silent.
Natasha really couldn't sit still anymore. Even if it could be endured, once the Chitauri fleet arrived, it would cause immense damage to Earth's civilization. "Your Excellency, Supreme Sorcerer, regarding this fleet matter, can there really be no leniency?"
"If I show leniency now, after I die, who will show leniency for you?" the Ancient One retorted, then continued, meeting everyone's incredulous gazes, "My natural life is already nearing its end, and having guarded Earth for five hundred years, it is time for me to retire. As for Odin, his lifespan is also nearing its end. Thanos is just waiting for us to pass away, and then he will come to dance on our graves."
Everyone present stopped speaking; after all, who had the standing or the face to blame a top-tier mage who had guarded Earth for five hundred years?
"Logically speaking, I should not appear now, but the original timeline has been disrupted to the point of being unwatchable. Therefore, I will provide a safety net for you once. If you truly cannot win, you can come to the Himalayas to find me, and I will rewind the time of the Chitauri fleet by one year," the Ancient One said, disappearing from before everyone.
"Everyone, let's get moving. We have at least a year or more of time," Rogers stood up from his chair; a warrior would never choose to retreat.
"What if Woody leads people out to cause trouble at this time?" Johnson asked aloud. Hydra had been temporarily dealt with, and the only other force on Earth capable of causing a major incident was Woody.
Just then, the shadows nearby began to squirm, and a digital voice recorder was spat out from within.
Woody: "Earth is the great divine domain of my Lord; it shall not be violated by others!"
Baron Strucker had been nearby the whole time, originally there to collect information on these people for Woody. However, after the Ancient One appeared, he discovered that not only had he been locked onto by the Ancient One, but he had also become a messenger.
The Ancient One's meaning was also very simple: if you dare to come out and cause trouble at this time, this day next year will be your death anniversary.
The Ancient One was truly prepared for this. Since she had already entered the fray, if Woody had no sense of the situation, she would force-kill this villain in the play regardless of the cost. Those who block my retirement shall die!
