American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 155 Magical Genius
Ancient One led Xiao Xian through the maze-like corridors of Kamar-Taki, and finally came to a hidden secret room. This secret room was hidden deep in the ancient library, and was surrounded by various protective spells to prevent unauthorized people from breaking in. Ancient One waved his hand gently, a flash of light passed, and the heavy door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside the secret room.

The interior is full of ancient atmosphere, with relics of ancient civilizations and various magical symbols hanging on the walls. In the center is an ancient wooden carved table, on which are scattered various ancient scrolls and mysterious magical objects.

Gu Yi pulled Xiao Xian towards the table, then took the Eye of Agamotto from his chest and placed it in the middle of the table.

Then the Ancient One taught Xiao Xian how to use the Eye of Agamotto correctly, including the spell to activate it, how to focus the mind, and how to use it. The Ancient One emphasized the importance and potential risks of each detail.

"Remember, those who play with time will eventually be played by time. It's best not to use this unless it's absolutely necessary." After giving Xiao Xian a final reminder, Gu Yi signaled Xiao Xian to try to pick up the Eye of Agamotto according to the method that Gu Yi had taught him.

"Does this spell require Vishanti's energy? I am a dimensional demon god after all. It's inappropriate to worship someone else's pier, right?"

Xiao Xian asked Gu Yidao, no matter whether it is Marvel or DC, magicians have to pay a price for using magic, and Xiao Xian does not want his soul to be marked by Vishanti.

If an ordinary person, even a superhero, visited Vishanti, he might not be noticed by Vishanti. But if someone like me visited the dock and signed a loan agreement, he would definitely be discovered.

Even though he lacked the origin of the world, Xiao Xian was not willing to borrow from Weishandi. Loan sharking was a thing that would definitely be a loss unless the borrower was like Gu Yi who had no intention of paying it back.

"Of course you can. Just modify the spell slightly. Replace Vishanti with your own words in the prayer part." Gu Yi looked at Xiao Xian with admiration. To become a powerful wizard, the most important thing is to be bold and careful. When you can get something for free, do it. When you can't, you must be cautious.

"Is that all? No need to modify the directional ritual?" Xiao Xian was very surprised. Is it so easy to modify magic? Even if he is a dimensional demon god in the hell space, with a lot of black magic knowledge, can directly read the spell and understand the meaning of each part of the spell, it can't be so simple, right?

"If you pray to yourself, do you think you won't receive any message, or are you unwilling to lend energy? If you like, you can delete all the directional rituals and just point directly to yourself." Gu Yi asked Xiao Xian, who looked puzzled.

"Well, what you said seems to make sense." Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian had to admit that Ancient One was right. The essence of magic is to borrow from the dimensional demons. Praying to Vishanti and others is white magic, and praying to Mephisto and the demons of the hell dimension like himself is black magic.

As a dimensional demon god, with dimensional space as his energy source, Xiao Xian did not need lengthy rituals to cast spells. After all, those things were used to strengthen the signal, increase the probability of contacting the dimensional demon god and passing the other party's credit review.

What kind of ritual do I need to contact myself? As the chairman of the company, how can I not get business done when I come to the company?

If Xiao Xian had mastered this magic, he wouldn't even need to release it through normal prayers, he could just consume the world's origin. In fact, if it was in a dimensional space, Xiao Xian didn't need to understand any magic principles, he could just use his ability to make his mind come true to consume enough world's origin to achieve a similar effect, but that was too crude, the world's origin consumed was not at the same level as using magic.

The wizard's magic is obtained by mortgaging his life and soul, so he is very stingy in using it. No, it should be called thrifty.

Just like the water ball spell, using the ability to make thoughts come true to directly create the world origin needed for a water ball out of thin air, and the energy consumed by the wizard using magic to guide the water vapor in the air to condense into a water ball, the two are completely on a different order of magnitude.

There are many similar ways of saving in the wizard's spells, such as controlling the flow of energy, how to reduce energy consumption, etc.

If it is an old-fashioned dimensional lord like Mephisto or Dormammu, the energy saved in the details of simply casting the ability to make your wishes come true may far exceed that of ordinary spells. However, as a newly appointed dimensional lord, Xiao Xian's ability in this regard is still far behind, and directly casting the ability to make your wishes come true is really not as energy-saving as using spells.

Changing the object of prayer to himself, Xiao Xian cast a spell, picked up the Eye of Agamotto from the center of the table, and pinched his magic fingers to control the Eye of Agamotto to open, revealing the green time gem inside.

"Very good." Seeing this, Gu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "As expected of a dimensional demon god, you have a strong talent for magic."

"The consumption is a bit high. I've just started out and I feel like I can't afford it at all." Feeling the reduction of the world's origin, Xiao Xian hurriedly closed the Eye of Agamotto. In just a short while, Xiao Xian lost the world's origin worth ten ordinary souls.

Thinking of the Ancient One and Doctor Strange in the movies, and the various cool special effects when they fought, Xiao Xian finally understood why so many dimensional demons were lurking on the earth and hated the Ancient One or Doctor Strange.

How much debt did they borrow? How much money did they fleece from other dimensional demons? It's okay for Ancient One, it's more like robbing than borrowing. If Doctor Strange wasn't the Sorcerer Supreme who was responsible for protecting the Earth and dealing with the souls that could devour a large number of Earths, would this guy still be able to get a loan?
"When it comes to divine artifacts, this level of loss is very small. This is after I optimized it. Also, the demons in other dimensions often devour entire planets or even worlds, so these souls are nothing." Gu Yi explained to Xiao Xian, implying that Xiao Xian was too poor.

"What can I do? I just pulled a few people and they were marked by the world's will." Xiao Xian curled his lips and said helplessly, doesn't he want to have a lot of world origin to squander? He also swallowed planets and even worlds. He just pulled a few people and they were marked by the world's will, and he also attracted Ancient One. If he continues to do this, I'm afraid that Uncle Swallow and the Celestial God Group will come to talk to him.

"You can go to other worlds to get some free stuff. Not every world is as strong as ours." Gu Yi pointed at Xiao Xian and said, "Although the souls in weaker worlds may be of lower quality, it's good enough to have them."
