Kamateki.
Li Jie and Ancient One stood opposite each other. This was the first time Li Jie had made such a request. When Ancient One first met him, she had said that she was old and needed to train some successors.
It was impossible for the Earth to remain under his umbrella forever. Someone had to stand up for him.
However, back then, Li Jie did not think too much about it. Today, he stood before Ancient One and said, "I hope that one day, the name of Nightcrawler will resound throughout the universe and inspire awe."
This sentence was not a simple sentence, but it contained many deeper meanings.
During this one year, Li Jie experienced things that he had never experienced in either his past or present life. Various shocks and ideological baptisms.
There were things from Spider-man, Punisher, Vampire, Captain America, Logie and Thor, Tony Stark, Ancient One, various mutants … … and so on.
Li Jie's words and actions had changed the course of the world, but at the same time, he had seen many different things in this world, met many different people, and heard many different thoughts.
Perhaps for this world and Li Jie, this change was mutual.
It was just like how he wanted to shake the universe. This was an idea born after many things came together.
Li Jie raised a pair of special metal gloves on his hands. They were pure black in colour and looked like a combination of medieval knight gloves and modern technological gloves. It gave off a retro and technological feeling.
"What is this?" Ancient One glanced at Li Jie's gloves. She could feel the powerful power contained within the gloves.
"A pair of gloves containing the Ten Rings of the Lord Man," Li Jie said. "After the Battle of New York, Tony Stark found these rings. He handed them all to me. "
"A selfless person," Ancient One commented with a smile.
Li Jie nodded. "Yes, a selfless person. He told me that if anyone in the Illuminati were to betray the organization one day, even if it was him, Tony Stark, I would use this power to kill him! "
Li Jie tried to sound as indifferent as possible, but Ancient One could still see the flicker in Li Jie's eyes.
"This is a kind of responsibility, and also a kind of trust that cannot be let down," Ancient One looked at Li Jie and said, "So, because of this, you want to become stronger?"
Li Jie said bluntly, "Yes, maybe I can escape responsibility. Maybe I don't care if I die with a good reputation or a bad name."
"In fact, I don't even know if everything I'm doing right now, breaking the old order of the world and establishing a new order, or even pushing forward the era of the universe and so on, is it right or wrong? But I never cared about these things. When I took my first step, there was no turning back. "
"This is the path I've chosen, and I'll walk it without hesitation. I don't like those who praise me, and I don't get angry at those who criticize me. "
"I want to change the world, and I gather like-minded people. Even if I barge into hell and want to blow up the places of demons. Even if I design the Battle of New York and put on a good show in front of seven billion people. I won't have any regrets. "
"But I still don't know until today. I might not care about anything, but I can't not care about trust. This pair of gloves is a trust that I can't refuse. When I took it, I understood that some things have to be shouldered by me. "
Li Jie clenched his fists. Now that many things were on track, he needed to start improving his strength.
The key point was that he had already grasped a very important thing. A videotape!
Through the constant search of the hacker Ceng Chu, a member of the Night Watch, he found a videotape of a traffic accident that happened in 1991 among the sea of information in the modern world.
It was a car accident that happened when Howard Stark and his wife were on their way to another city. But this was not a simple car accident, it was caused by someone. The initiator was a secret agent department of the former Soviet Union, and the executor was a good friend of Captain Steve Rogers, a former member of the Howling Commandos: Bucky Barnes (Bucky and Barnes were reversed in the previous article).
Barnes Bucky didn't die in the Arctic Circle Battle during World War II. He was frozen like Captain Rogers.
After that, he was found by Soviet experts, and a famous but failed [Winter Soldier Project] was launched.
Tony Stark's parents died in the hands of Captain Rogers's close friend. This was one of the keys to the irreconcilable conflict between Tony and Rogers, the leaders of the two factions in the Civil War of Heroes.
In this world, if the two didn't break up, it might not only be a confrontation between the leaders of the two factions, but it might even tear the Illuminati apart.
This was what Li Jie absolutely didn't want to see, so he needed to let the two sit down and talk when necessary. At the very least, they couldn't fight.
So he needed prestige, and he needed to use it to improve his strength.
But it wasn't easy to gain prestige on Earth. He couldn't go around in this world in a high-profile manner, and there weren't brainless villains everywhere who caused big incidents for him to slap their faces.
The way to gain prestige was not that easy. So far, the biggest prestige Li Jie had gained was from the video [I'm For All, All For Me].
But this kind of video couldn't be repeated, and it wouldn't be able to gain much prestige if he did it again. Pouring chicken soup on the Internet every day would only backfire.
So Li Jie set his sights on another place. It's not easy to gain prestige on Earth? But it didn't say that it was not easy to gain prestige in the universe!
If he could achieve the position of Ancient One and let the Nine Realms know his name, would his prestige decrease?
So Li Jie came to find Ancient One this time. He needed to improve his strength as soon as possible. At least in the short term, his goal was to have enough energy to use the One Ring without having to wither a few times. This couldn't be done in battle. Reaching the level of the Lord Man's strength was a small goal.
Ancient One looked at Li Jie, stared at him for a while, and then said, "In that case, I need you to do something. With your current strength, you can already guard some nodes in our world. It's not easy to maintain a super-stable barrier. There will always be some arrogant fish that slip through the net. Are you willing to become a [Guardian]? "
Li Jie nodded. "If you trust me."
Ancient One looked at Li Jie. He took out a special-shaped pendant from his arms, very much like the Eye of Agemos that he hung on his chest. Ancient One said, "This is a magic artifact of the Sorcerer Supreme, not the Ring of Sorcery that I gave you. It's just a token of mine. If you wear this [Guardian] pendant, you can borrow some of my power to step into the intersections of some of the Earth's dimensions.
"There will be monsters from other dimensions that threaten the safety of Earth. You need to expel them or kill them, "Ancient One said in a business-like manner.
Li Jie lowered his head and said, "I'm willing to become a [Guardian]."
Ancient One asked Li Jie to kneel on one knee. He solemnly put on the special pendant for Li Jie and said, "I hope you don't let down the name of the previous owner of this [Guardian] token."
Li Jie was a little curious. "Who was the previous owner of this pendant?"
Ancient One shook his head. "Every hunter's name is a secret." He didn't answer Li Jie's curiosity.
Li Jie played with his newly acquired pendant, which looked really similar to the Eye of Agephoros that was full of mysterious aura and colors on Ancient One's chest. There was an English letter [Di] engraved on the back of the pendant. It might be the previous owner's code name.
As for the specific mission of the [Guardian] and the specific use of the pendant, Ancient One told Li Jie to come back tomorrow to learn. Ancient One said that he was a little tired today. Although Li Jie was curious, a strong person like Ancient One shouldn't be tired, right? But he still respectfully left Kamateki.
After Li Jie left, Ancient One waved his hands, and another door suddenly appeared on the wall of his room. It was a tall and simple bronze door that seemed to have stood there for more than a dozen centuries.
On both sides of the bronze door were carved two totem patterns. On the left was a spear, and on the right was a strong shield.
Ancient One pushed the door open and entered. It was a huge space, but it was very dark. There was no light except for a few candles on the desk in the center.
Ancient One didn't care about anything else. He just walked step by step to the desk in the center. On this relatively large desk, there were four statues that were about 50 centimeters tall standing erect.
Three of the statues were wearing the same pendants as the one Li Jie had just taken, but these three pendants were damaged and cracked.
There was also a line of small words engraved at the foot of the pendants. [Zhang Heng], [Isaac Newton], [Galileo Galilei]
The only statue without a pendant was engraved with [Leonardo di Pierre-Da Vinci].
