Soul, that's a very magical thing.
Perhaps in the past, Saber would have doubted whether the soul really existed, but after his trip to Las Vegas, he no longer had any doubts because he could see the soul with his eyes. As long as he wanted, he could even see the whole process of a soul from the moment of death to the dissipation of the body.
But his own soul … Is it really that special?
"What's the matter? Master, are you kidding me? "
Saber patted his arm and looked at Ancient One, "You didn't actually use any force, did you?"
The communication between the two was completed entirely in Chinese. Faced with Saber's inquiry, Ancient One stretched out his finger and motioned for him to be quiet. She silently sat back to the chair, picked up the teacup on one side, blew gently, and then closed her eyes. After a few minutes, she spoke.
"I probably understand, you are special … No wonder Mephisto would rather risk being captured by me and take the risk of taking your soul … You are special, unique!"
Ancient One opened her eyes and pointed to Strange whose soul had flown out of his body and wandered to an unknown place, "I used the same strength of the Soul Guiding Formation. You see, his soul has left his body, but your soul is not affected at all …"
"Isn't that because I am much stronger than him?"
Saber said. Sorcerer Supreme shook her head and opened the book on the table.
"This has nothing to do with power, Seiber. Even if Charles was in front of me, I would still be able to push his extremely powerful soul out of his body. However, perhaps only you … In this world, you're probably the only person that I can't do anything about."
Ancient One raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"I guess this is because the boundary of the parallel universe was broken and you were affected during that journey, but at the same time, it may also be the effect of those chaotic X genes that were eliminated. In short, you are now a person with a fusion of soul and flesh, and the power of the soul is scattered in every corner of your body. This is the first time I have seen such a special case in my life."
Sorcerer Zhi Zun heaved a sigh of relief. She narrowed her eyes, her face full of realization.
"If Mephistos really took away your soul, then he could use your body as a vessel to contain his complete devil soul … Then he would become a great demon king that would forever hide in the world. I might not even be able to discover him … So that's how it is. Is this his real scheme?"
"But what's the point?"
Saber spread out his hands in confusion. "Even if he possessed me, his strength is still not worth mentioning compared to yours. You don't have to worry at all. As long as he dares to show his face, you can crush him with a finger!"
"That's right. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be a big deal. He's just a lone Great Demon King. However, this is an eventful time. Saber, the current situation is very delicate."
Ancient One's tone softened, and a ball of light appeared in her palm, which quickly formed the appearance of the earth. Outside the planet, colorful light gathered in the starry sky and soon wrapped the earth, which looked a little shocking.
"The war in the Nine Realms has resumed. The Frost Giants are eager to try their hand at Asgard. The war between the Death Zone and the Green Lantern Corps has never stopped. There's also the chaotic lower Hell, Mountain Paradise that has been trying to stir up bigger waves so that they can return to the world. The Evil God Domumu, and even the Devourer of Stars that is so powerful that even I am amazed by it, that ancient existence has suddenly changed its direction. They are trying to occupy a place on this ancient and mysterious planet … All of this seems to have gathered together and suddenly exploded."
She sighed, rubbed her forehead, and said with a pained expression, "That's right.
"And each of them is ten times more difficult to deal with than Mephistos …"
"The most important thing is that the Eye of Agmoto seems to have foreseen something. Its connection with me has become obscure, causing my power to decrease. The power of the agreement has also decreased. In this case, it's an uncontrollable factor that may have a loophole …"
Sorcerer Supreme put the book in her hand on the table. With a wave of her left hand, an antique sandalwood fan appeared in her hand. Her voice also became playful.
"I can heal you, Saber, but in an equivalent exchange, I think you should also promise me something."
Saber smelled that something was wrong. He tried to argue, "I can serve you, Sorcerer Supreme. I don't mind being a pawn for a more powerful force, but …"
"No …"
Ancient One said in a light, meditative tone, "I haven't figured out what to do yet, but I will come up with an appropriate exchange, whether it's for you or for me … Also, do you think I'm discussing this with you?"
As soon as he said that, Seiber's hair stood on end. He instinctively turned around and rushed towards the window, wanting to escape from here. However, Gu Yigen didn't move at all. A round, sparkling teleportation door opened right in front of Seiber's eyes. Caught off guard, Seiber fell into the teleportation door in a sorry state.
Bang!
Saber's body crashed into the cold and heavy snowflakes. Ancient One's final voice also sounded in his ears.
"This is the rule of Kamar-Taj. You have to reach the Land of the Holy Spirit by yourself … It's above the world, the final destination of the soul … Climb up, you and I both know that this won't be difficult for you."
The light of the portal flashed behind him. At the last moment, the exquisite wooden box was thrown out and smashed into the snow beside Saber. He looked up and saw the heavy snowflakes dancing in the sky. He stood up with the box in his hand and looked back. There was only a white world between heaven and earth.
This … was the spine of the world, the most sacred and the worst place between heaven and earth.
Saber jumped around in the snow like a madman, madly pointing his middle finger at the sky. However, he didn't dare to curse out loud in the end. Other than the whistling cold wind and the snowflakes between heaven and earth, there was nothing in this damned place that would respond to him.
He grabbed the wooden box from the ground with a gloomy face, casually identified the direction and began to run towards the top of the mountain.
This place may be a fatal challenge for ordinary people, but for him, it was not much more difficult than the night road in Gotham.
However, Ancient One's casual toss brought a lot of trouble to Seiber after more than an hour.
It was when he turned around a snowy peak while cursing. Without any warning, a gorgeous sword light appeared in front of him. At that moment, Saber's breathing stopped for a second. He could feel that everything between heaven and earth was quiet under this sword. Even the sound of the wind and the falling snow stopped.
The sword filled his vision in an instant, but the moment before the blade touched his body, Saber suddenly reacted and blocked the wooden box behind him.
Bang!
It was as if he was hit head-on by a construction hammer, and his whole body fell down the snowy mountain behind him. And the next moment, in the flying snow, a surprised voice sounded.
"Huh … Not an enemy?"
Swish!
A chain quickly wrapped around Saber's waist and pulled him back from the air with his arms numb. It wasn't until Saber landed on the ground again that he saw the user of the amazing sword just now.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in solemn black clothing. He had black hair, yellow skin, and a pair of eyes that exuded a solemn aura. He was draped in a black fur cloak, and in this world, it seemed that only this touch of black was unforgettable.
"Who are you?"
A two-finger-wide Willow Blade was pressed against Saber's neck, and the cold aura woke him up. Saber looked around and found that there was no one else in this place, so he asked directly.
"Who are you?"
The man narrowed his eyes. He looked up and down at Saber for a few seconds, and finally retracted the Willow Blade. Saber didn't see how the Blade disappeared at all, which was scary. With Saber's current strength and that pair of special eyes, to dazzle him, the speed must be amazingly fast.
The man curled his lips and turned away.
"Are you a guest of Ancient One? Let's go, there will be a war here soon. "
"War? Who and who? "
Saber asked curiously. The guy glanced back, and the cold gaze in his eyes made Saber's [Beast Perception] subconsciously activate, and the whole person took a few steps back. The man turned around and walked out. Saber quickly reacted and strode after him.
The two people walked and stopped like this until ten minutes later, the guy disappeared into a hidden cave. Saber stayed in place for a moment, and finally followed. He could feel that the guy was a ruthless character, and he was not the kind of person who would be very curious, but there was no other way. There was only one easy way to go up the mountain, so he had to bite the bullet and follow.
Inside a small cave, a bonfire was already lit. That cold man sat beside the bonfire and was wiping his lancet. Seiber walked past the cave and glanced at the bonfire. He thought for a moment before walking in and sitting beside the bonfire. He spoke as if he was very familiar with the place.
"You look like a huge organization. You see, I'm a single traveler. I won't cause trouble. I'm not interested in your affairs. I'll leave at dawn, okay?"
The man rolled his eyes and glanced at Saber. He didn't seem to want to talk to him, but after ten minutes, he frowned and thought for a moment. Finally, he took a deep breath and took the initiative to open the conversation.
"I know you … Saber Hawke, you've done several big things in the United States recently. I heard that you made Nick Fury very embarrassed? Then you're a bit capable. "
Saber's eyes widened. These words were said in Chinese, and he asked subconsciously.
"How do you know so clearly? At that time, I don't remember there was a fourth person present besides Professor Charles and Nick Fury! "
"We have our own channels and methods … As for who we are …"
The man put away the knife, took out a black ID from his arms, and shook it in front of Saber's eyes. "Strategic Offensive Counterattack and Special Operations Security Bureau … Abbreviation, Heavenly Sword Bureau, I'm a LV8 agent of Heavenly Sword Bureau, you can call me Mr. Quan."
“！！！”
Saber's expression was dull. This was definitely the first time he heard this term. He pondered for a moment. "What's your relationship with SHIELD? Why are even the names so similar? "
Hearing this question, the agent who called himself Mr. Quan smiled, his eyes were full of contempt and pride.
"Don't compare them with us. You are also a member of the real world. You should know how fragile the peace of this world is. In the face of the invasion of special forces, SHIELD only needs to do a good job of defense. The counterattack mission has always been completed by us."
He reached out and poked the bonfire in front of him with a branch and said meaningfully.
"This has never been a world where you don't fight back when you are beaten …"
When Saber heard this unusual introduction, he couldn't help but rub his forehead. After a moment, he spread out his hands.
"You could have just driven me away without telling me this. It seems that I have walked into trouble myself. Say it, mysterious Mr. Quan, what do you want me to do?"
"Great!"
Mr. Quan patted the non-existent dust on his arms, his eagle-like sharp eyes staring at Saber.
"You have some power in Gotham, right?"
"Yes."
Saber hesitated for a moment and nodded. "A small gang. It's okay to fight against the police, but it's absolutely impossible to subvert them."
"Don't worry! I won't let you do anything beyond your ability. "
A glint flashed across Mr. Quan's eyes. "I need you to investigate something. It's about the missing and possibly dead agent of the Sky Sword Bureau. His name is Yao Fei. According to the last news he sent back, he came in contact with a shipwreck victim. That person is very famous in Star City … Oliver Quinn. Do you know him?"
Saber nodded.
"He's an ignorant and incompetent playboy! He and I … Well, we had a small conflict. "
"Very well. If Oliver reappears in Star City, I hope you can help me find out what happened to Yao Fei …"
Mr. Quan clenched his fists. In the light of the fire, there was a flash of determination on his face.
"We can't let our brothers … leave without knowing the reason for their deaths! If he dares to touch the blade, he must bleed … "
