I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 84 News of the Fragments of the Dark Book

"I know the gist of what happened to you."

Ye Feng gestured for Doom to sit down on the exquisitely carved wooden chair opposite him, while he himself slowly walked back to the high-backed chair behind his desk.

Afternoon sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled shadows on the polished floor.

He looked directly into Doom's eyes, his tone frank and direct: "To be honest, I'm not capable of reclaiming the soul from Mephisto at the moment."

Doom's hands on his knees tightened unconsciously, but he didn't look away, continuing to listen attentively.

"Mephisto's strength far exceeds your imagination."

Ye Feng leaned forward slightly, his hands clasped together on the table.

"In the various myths and legends of the world, even the kings of the gods such as Odin of the Nine Realms, Zeus of Greece, and Ra of Egypt, do not have the power to reach the level of Mephisto."

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Ye Feng chose to get straight to the point, refraining from making empty promises. While Doom might be fooled temporarily, he was unlikely to be deceived forever.

What he needs is Doom's willing submission.

"I understand what you mean."

"Mr. Blazer and I exchanged a few words about Mephisto. But he also said that if anyone on Earth has the hope and ability to free their soul from Mephisto's clutches, it is you."

Doom nodded slightly, his voice steady.

"Perhaps I will have that ability in the future, but I can't do it now."

"If that's your expectation, then this is destined to be a protracted battle. Furthermore, I need your absolute loyalty to the Sanctuary."

Ye Feng answered calmly, his gaze unwavering.

He looked up at Doom, his gaze calm yet carrying an undeniable sense of pressure, as if he could see through appearances and into the depths of the other's soul.

To Ye Feng's surprise, Doom did not get angry or back down. Instead, a hint of excitement flashed in his deep eyes.

Because he received a promise from Ye Feng's words: Ye Feng would help him reclaim his mother's soul whenever he had the chance.

"certainly!"

"I will offer my absolute loyalty and help you accomplish everything."

Doom stood up excitedly and bowed respectfully.

"Very good, you are now a Saint Seiya trainee."

Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction and took out an exquisite silver badge from the drawer, handing it to Doom.

"During your time in the Sanctuary, you need to find Logan and have him teach you how to comprehend the power of your cosmos. After you've mastered the training method, there's one more thing I need you to do."

Doom carefully took the badge, feeling its cool, smooth texture.

Ye Feng watched his movements, but in his heart he was thinking that Doom's intelligent mind would naturally not be made into a pure combatant.

His true battlefield should be in the laboratory where the Saint Cloths are being forged! As for Reed, there's no need to rush things. Some things require a gradual approach.

Doom bowed again, his eyes gleaming with hope. No matter how long the road ahead, at least for this moment, he saw the possibility of saving his mother's soul.

For Ye Feng, this future Doctor of Destruction might become one of the most important cornerstones of the Holy Land.

"Of course, you don't need to stay in the Sanctuary all the time; you can also take care of your own affairs."

"The Sanctuary will not restrict your freedom, nor will it require you to make any so-called sacrifices."

Ye Feng added, his tone gentle.

"I understand, thank you, Your Holiness the Pope."

Doom looked up in surprise. He hadn't expected that becoming a Saint would grant him such a great deal of autonomy.

However, he was very interested in the power of the microcosm that Ye Feng mentioned. This seemed to be a cultivation system unique to the Holy Domain.

As for their fighting strength, just look at the other members of the Saint Seiya army; their power is absolutely enviable.

"One last question."

Have you ever heard of the Dark Book?

Ye Feng suddenly changed the subject, his voice lowering.

These words startled Doom slightly. He hadn't expected Ye Feng to be interested in the Dark Book, which made him tense.

"I know, but Your Majesty—"

"The Dark God Book—"

Doom hesitated, his brows furrowing slightly.

As the bible for all practitioners of dark magic, he naturally knew of its existence.

It is precisely because we understand it that we are more aware of its dangers.

"Don't worry, I won't practice the Dark God Book."

"Besides being the Pope of the Sanctuary, I am also the next Sorcerer Supreme of the Sanctuary."

Ye Feng immediately saw what Doom was worried about, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

These words struck Doom like a thunderclap.

"What? You're the next Supreme Master?"

Doom was utterly shocked, his voice trembling with disbelief.

If before he only had expectations that Ye Feng would take back his mother's soul, now he was certain! One day in the future, Ye Feng would definitely be able to take back his mother's soul.

The title "Supreme Master" is enough to shatter all doubts. This reputation is earned by successive Supreme Masters who have guarded the real world, through their own strength.

Throughout countless ages, the Sorcerer Supreme has been the most powerful being on Earth, without exception.

Even in the age when the gods descended to earth, no god dared to cause trouble for the Sanctuary!

The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme of our time, lived for hundreds of years in human form, suppressing demons from various dimensions, and was known as the greatest sorcerer in the universe.

It's easy to imagine just how prestigious Ye Feng's title as the successor to the Supreme Mage truly is.

In other words, Doom had no contact with the Ancient One; otherwise, he would have sought help from the Sanctum Sanctorum long ago. By the time he grew up and became Doctor Doom, the Ancient One had already passed away for many years.

"That's right, the kind personally certified by the Ancient One."

Ye Feng calmly confirmed.

"So you don't need to worry about me practicing the Dark Tome. The reason I asked about the Dark Tome is because the time for its reconstruction is approaching."

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the Saint Seiya warriors training diligently in the distance: "You should know what this means."

"Even a fragment of the Dark Tome can corrupt a powerful being; the complete Dark Tome can unleash a massive tsunami of extraordinary power."

He turned around, his expression serious: "The current world order is not very stable to begin with. The extraordinary era that I created cannot have something like the Dark Book appearing, otherwise those who pursue power will stop at nothing to cultivate the Dark Book."

Ye Feng revealed one of his purposes, but he didn't tell Doom about the others.

The Dark Book involves the god of the underworld, Sithon, and the fewer people who know this, the better.

"I only heard my mother mention it a little bit many years ago."

"A dark creature in the underworld obtained a fragment of the Dark Tome, greatly increasing its power. But its whereabouts have since become unknown. Based on the information I've gathered recently, there shouldn't be many fragments of the Dark Tome appearing yet."

Doom recalled.

"Not necessarily, take a look at this."

Ye Feng took out his sacred book and gently turned to one of its pages.

Interspersed among the books was a yellowed tattered page, with mysterious runes flashing on it, like shackles, locking the tattered page tightly inside.

"This is?"

Doom's pupils suddenly contracted, because he sensed an unusual movement in the magic within his body—a resonance and vigilance of dark magic towards a power of the same origin.

"The fragments of the Dark God's Book were obtained from the vampires during a mission."

"A vampire wanted to use the sacrificial ritual recorded on this fragment to advance his power. Of course, I stopped him in the end."

Ye Feng explained.

He gently closed the holy book, and the unsettling aura vanished instantly: "But this also means that the Dark Book has begun to revive and is starting to search for a suitable host, initiating a process of reconstruction."

"Centuries have passed since the Ancient One destroyed the Dark Book. The Dark Book is being rebuilt, and the underworld will not be at peace."

"I gave you so much autonomy not only to give you time to do scientific research, but also because you've spent a long time in the underworld and know a lot about the supernatural world."

Ye Feng walked over to Doom and patted him on the shoulder.

"Once you obtain the cultivation method for the microcosm and inherit the seed of the microcosm that I gave you, you can cultivate on your own."

"At the same time, in the underground supernatural world of the United States, help me gather information about the Dark Book."

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Doom nodded solemnly. Even among the witches, the Dark Book was an absolute taboo to be touched.

Otherwise, Agatha wouldn't have been executed by the witches for practicing the Dark Book! Although in the end, Agatha drained all the witches' magic.

The same was true of Doom's birth mother. In the notes he collected from his birth mother, he discovered her fear of the Dark Book.

Aside from truly ruthless and insane dark creatures, absolutely no intelligent being would practice the Dark Book.

"You must be tired from your journey, you should get some rest."

"We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Ye Feng's tone softened again.

Doom bowed respectfully and took his leave, gently closing the office door behind him.

Ye Feng stood by the window, watching Doom's departing figure, lost in thought.

Tomorrow he plans to take Doom to visit the Saint Cloth's laboratory, hoping that they can develop a metal suitable for the Saint Cloth's material.

This world only has vibranium and adamantium, and there is no Uru steel, so Ye Feng has to find another way.

If Doom can use vibranium to research nanomaterials and form a Saint Cloth, then Ye Feng can accept the state of the Saint Cloth.

After all, the world is different, and it's unrealistic to expect a 100% perfect replica of the Saint Cloth. But an 80-90% resemblance is perfectly sufficient.

Whether it's the Marvel universe or the Saint Seiya universe, as long as one's power reaches a certain level, they can bestow blessings; it's just that the forms of expression are different.

Once he becomes a dimensional demon god, or an even stronger being, and blesses the Saint Cloth, that will be no problem at all.
