American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 154 Supreme Mage
Kamartaki, a mysterious place hidden deep in the Himalayas, is a paradise away from the hustle and bustle, like a forgotten paradise. It is located between high mountains and deep valleys, surrounded by winding mountains and endless forests, and shrouded in clouds and mist, as if it is a fairyland suspended above the clouds.

Stepping out of the portal, Gu Yi pulled Xiao Xian to this magical holy land.

"Go gather everyone, I have something important to announce." Master Ancient One said to the servant at the door.

Xiao Xian followed behind Ancient One, curiously looking at the situation inside Kamartekhi. Low houses and spacious courtyards were scattered in an orderly manner, and the roofs were covered with green tiles, shining in the sun. The walls were carved with complex patterns, showing the wisdom of ancient civilization and the mystery of the magic world.

The most eye-catching is the main hall located in the center of Kamateki. The top is decorated with golden eaves, and two stone statues stand guard in front of the door, making it look solemn and sacred.

If nothing unexpected happens, these two stone sculptures can be activated by magic and fight against foreign enemies when they invade.

There is another point that Xiao Xian is particularly concerned about, that is, after refining the space core, even if he returns to the real world, Xiao Xian can still sense the power of the hell space, and can even consume the origin of the world to cast spells in the real world. Of course, the consumption of casting spells in the real space is much greater than that in the hell space, and he cannot do whatever he wants like in the dimensional space.

At this moment, in Kamar-Taki, Xiao Xian felt that his connection with the hell space had become extremely weak, and the energy required to cast spells had increased several times.

Of course, this doesn't make much difference to Xiao Xian. Anyway, he has little origin in his world now, and he is reluctant to use it in the dimensional space, let alone in the real world.

Soon, the mages gathered in the hall from all directions, each of them with curiosity and expectation on their faces. They stood or sat, surrounding the center of the hall, waiting for the Ancient One to appear.

As Gu Yi and Xiao Xian walked into the hall together, all eyes instantly focused on them. Gu Yi glanced at the mages below the stage and said

"I have called you all here because I have something extremely important to announce."

"As you all know, Kamar-Taki and the world are facing unprecedented challenges. However, I am getting old and increasingly unable to cope with the situation. I know that I don't have much time left. Therefore, Kamar-Taki needs a new Supreme Sorcerer to guide us and protect the world. After a long period of consideration, I have decided that Xiao Xian will be the next Supreme Sorcerer."

This decision, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, caused a huge wave. The expressions of the mages varied, some were surprised, while others showed subtle dissatisfaction. Wang and other senior mages were particularly shocked. They looked at each other with complicated emotions in their eyes. But in front of the majesty of Ancient One, they dared not express anything openly, and could only exchange glances with each other tacitly.

Ancient One's voice sounded again:
"I know this decision may be difficult for many people to accept. But please believe me, this is a well-considered choice. Although Xiao Xian is a newcomer, he has all the qualities required to become the Supreme Sorcerer. I hope everyone can give him support and help. Of course, if you have any objections, you can speak up now, otherwise just shut up forever and accept this decision. Our Kamar-Taki ethos has always been to value everyone's voice."

When Gu Yi finished speaking, the initial silence and hesitation were replaced by a wave of approval and support.

"We fully support the decision of the Supreme Mage!" A senior mage stood up, his voice firm, echoing in the hall.

"Master Xiao Xian is the one chosen by our Supreme Mage, so we will naturally support him with all our strength!" Another mage quickly echoed, his eyes firm, as if expressing his infinite trust in Ancient One and his expectations for Xiao Xian's future.

"The Supreme Sorcerer has always been our guide, and his choice is undoubtedly the wisest. Master Xiao Xian, we look forward to your leadership!" Wang Ye hurriedly stepped forward to express his approval of Xiao Xian. Looking at the reactions of the crowd and then at the smiling Ancient One, Xiao Xian understood how high the authority of Ancient One was in Kamar-Taki. However, Ancient One's high authority did not mean that he would have such a high authority if he succeeded the Supreme Sorcerer.

Xiao Xian now knew almost nothing about the magic world except for some common sense that came with the Hell Space. It was no exaggeration to call him a magic novice, and it was reasonable for these people to be dissatisfied with him as a magic novice.

Now that Ancient One is still here, no one will say or do anything, but when Ancient One fakes his death and escapes, running away to wander the multiverse, these people probably won’t be able to hold back.

"Come with me, I will pass the Eye of Agamotto to you and teach you how to use it." Gu Yi looked at the performance of the mages, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Xiao Xian.

"Yeah." Amid the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of everyone, Xiao Xian followed Gu Yi out of the hall.

After Gu Yi and Xiao Xian left the hall, the tension and silence in the air gradually faded away, replaced by whispers and whispers.

The king and several other senior mages gathered in a secluded corner, their expressions filled with worry and dissatisfaction.

"Who is that guy? Where did he come from? Do you know?" A wizard said very dissatisfiedly. Originally, after Carl Amadeus Mordo left, they were the ones with the greatest hope of inheriting the title of Supreme Sorcerer, but they did not expect Xiao Xian to show up halfway.

"It seems like he is a superhero outside." Another senior wizard frowned and said, "And he seems to be a person with super powers. I haven't heard that he can use magic."

"What? He can't even do magic. How can he be the Supreme Sorcerer?" A white-bearded wizard immediately expressed dissatisfaction upon hearing this.

Another wizard seemed even more indignant: "This is a disrespect to all of our efforts. Many of us have made countless efforts and sacrifices for Kamartekhi. Now, an outsider, just because the Ancient One values ​​him, wants to become our leader? This is simply ridiculous!"

"With his support from Ancient One. Who among you dares not to obey Ancient One's orders?" Wang said coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction. He was the one with the greatest hope of becoming the Supreme Mage among a group of senior mages. In his opinion, Xiao Xian had completely snatched his position.

"Then we must naturally obey the orders of the Supreme Sorcerer." The White Bearded Sorcerer looked at the direction where Ancient One left with fear, and said in his heart.

"Since it is the order of Master Gu Yi, we must obey it. However, if Xiao Xian cannot take on the position of Supreme Master after Master Gu Yi passes away, we cannot sit idly by."

After thinking for a moment, Wang said to everyone, what he meant was, since we can't beat Gu Yi now, we should pretend to agree first, and when Gu Yi is dead, we will find a chance to defeat Xiao Xian.

"I think the king's suggestion is very good." The white-bearded wizard nodded in agreement. He didn't have the courage to oppose Ancient One in person, but when Ancient One died, he still had the courage to oppose him again. Not only that, but it was very strong.
