Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Thinking of this, Wanda quickly lowered her head and pretended to drink tea, trying to hide the barely suppressed smile on her lips.

Gu Yi put down her teacup. She glanced at Wanda, who was lost in thought, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, before turning to Azu.

"I only sensed the power of the Asgardian gods. But the source of that power was a human, which is very rare, especially on Earth."

"While I can certainly foresee the future, I rarely use that ability, Mr. Starr."

"Why?" Wanda couldn't help but interject. "If we had that ability... I mean, if we could see the future, wouldn't we be able to prevent many disasters?"

"Disaster?" Gu Yi smiled, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "Child, the future isn't a straight highway. It's a tree with countless branches."

"Every peek, every change made based on foresight, may give rise to new branches, that is, new timelines, and who knows whether new disasters will arise in the new timelines."

"Unless you're like an ascetic, strictly following the predetermined script step by step to maintain that so-called 'outcome.' But that's exhausting, and... very boring."

"And now..." Gu Yi sighed, "...I already have enough to worry about."

"Therefore, I prefer to live in the present."

"A wise choice." Azu nodded. "Since you haven't read the script, I'll be frank."

Azu reached out and put his arm around Wanda, as if showing off a proud work of art.

"I've brought you a student."

"Wanda Maximov. Exceptionally talented, with unlimited potential. I think your courses would be a good fit for her."

"I'd like her to study with you and learn some decent magic."

Wanda immediately sat up straight, looking nervously at the Ancient One.

Gu Yi's gaze slowly shifted to Wanda.

"Feel sorry."

She refused decisively.

"Why?" Wanda asked anxiously, instinctively.

Gu Yi picked up the teacup and gently blew away the foam.

"There is no place for you in the future I have envisioned, my child."

"Accepting you will not only disrupt the established course, but may also trigger unforeseen chain reactions."

"Change means risk."

"And right now, the last thing I need is risk."

Wanda's eyes dimmed instantly.

Instead of getting angry at being rejected, Azu let out a soft laugh.

"A predetermined trajectory?"

"Ancient One, we are both intelligent people. Don't try to fool me with those childish platitudes."

He held up one finger and pointed to the sky.

"You should know better than anyone that we are no longer in some so-called 'sacred timeline'."

Many things are different now.

"Like me," Ah Zu pointed to himself, "I'm sitting here drinking your milk tea. Was this ever in your 'script'?"

Gu Yi paused slightly in her teacup, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.

"The original script has been torn to shreds," Azu continued. "The predetermined trajectory has changed; what's the point of clinging to an ending that no longer exists?"

The Ancient One fell silent.

She looked at Ah Zu, her eyes filled with a sense of relief.

"yes……"

Gu Yi let out a long sigh, as if exhaling centuries of pent-up emotions.

"You're absolutely right, Mr. Starr."

"Actually, starting two years ago... I realized I couldn't see a future."

"The once clear river of time has become a fog."

As she spoke, she suddenly revealed a genuine smile.

"This both confused me and gave me a sense of freedom I had never felt before."

Wanda, standing to the side, was completely confused.

"Um..." she cautiously raised her hand, "What is the Sacred Timeline? And what's this script all about?"

She looked at Azu with some panic.

"Anthony...is it because of me? Is it because I messed something up again?"

"Shh-"

Azu turned around and gently pressed his finger to Wanda's lips.

"The sacred timeline, huh..."

"There's a group of bored people who created a script that dictates when you'll be born, when you'll suffer, and when you'll die."

"If you don't act according to the script, they'll cut you out."

Wanda shrank back as she listened: "That sounds terrifying."

"Yes, it's terrifying."

Ah Zu laughed, a wild and unrestrained laugh.

"But now, I won't agree."

"I've already torn up the script."

"No one in this world can dictate your destiny."

"There is no predetermined tragedy."

Azu looked into Wanda's eyes and said earnestly.

"As long as I'm here."

"Your future only has the one path I want you to take."

That is... to do what you want to do and love who you want to love.

"Oh... Starr." Wanda's heart melted.

Looking into Azu's deep blue eyes, she felt as if she had fallen into the sea, yet she had no desire to struggle at all.

"Hint! Gained 5000 special popularity points! (From Wanda Maximoff)"

"I'm sorry to interrupt you..."

Gu Yi, oblivious to the romantic tension, interrupted this display of affection.

"But I must say, the magic flowing through her body is not ordinary magic. It is chaos magic."

"Disorder, distortion, and alteration of reality."

Ancient One stretched out her hand, and a golden magic circle lit up in her palm, full of geometric beauty.

"Karmar-Taj practices white magic. It constructs rules and defends dimensions."

"These two are like water and fire, disorder and order."

"If we force her to learn white magic, the two completely opposite forces will clash within her, which could very well lead to disaster."

As she spoke, Gu Yi's gaze suddenly turned to Azu.

That look in his eyes was like that of an expert who had discovered a rare, unpolished gem.

"But, Mr. Starr."

"You are different."

"Huh?" Azu was taken aback.

"I felt it the moment you stepped onto this rooftop."

Gu Yi stood up and walked to Azu's side.

"There is an amazing quality hidden within your body."

It has no attributes, no inclinations. It's like a blank sheet of paper, on which any language can be written; like a universal interface, compatible with any energy.

"Your affinity for magical elements is unlike anything I have ever seen in my life."

The Ancient One's eyes shone brightly as she extended her hand to Angus, offering a formal invitation.

"How about... you become my disciple?"

"If you're willing, I can give you the position of Sorcerer Supreme..."

"Stop! Stop!"

Ah Zu quickly waved his hand and even moved his chair back, as if he were avoiding some salesperson.

"Ancient One, please wait a moment. I appreciate your invitation, but I must decline."

He pointed to his iconic Stars and Stripes uniform with an absurd expression.

Imagine that scene.

"I am a citizen of my homeland. I fly in the sky, without heat vision, without fists."

"Instead, you're just making circles with your pinky finger?"

"This is completely against my public image! I'll lose all my fans!"
