Chapter 93 Keeping the Appointment, Kamar-Taj

Top-floor office of the Fisker Building.

The smoke and tension of the past few days have finally dissipated, and outside the window is the still bustling traffic of New York during the day.

Today is the third day since the hearing battle ended.

The entire city of New York seemed to have collectively suffered from amnesia, and the expected retaliation was delayed.

There is no military, no S.H.I.E.L.D.

Even the usual sirens have become much quieter.

Everything was as calm as it appeared on the surface.

But this overly deliberate calmness is like an impenetrable net, making it hard to breathe.

Lynn leaned back in her large office chair, her fingertips tapping the armrest absentmindedly.

The intense fighting and standoff of the past few days have temporarily subsided like a receding tide, but the undercurrents beneath the surface have not stopped.

Just then.

A blinding golden spark appeared without warning in the center of the office.

The spinning sparks quickly outlined a neat circular portal.

The king, dressed in a dark robe from Kamar-Taj, stepped steadily out from behind the door.

The portal closed instantly behind him.

There are no extra energy fluctuations.

But the sudden appearance of "magic" was completely out of place in this building filled with blood, violence, and atmosphere.

Wang's gaze fell directly on Lynn, without a single unnecessary word of pleasantries, getting straight to the point.

"Mr. Lynn, it's been a long time."

"I've come today to ask you a question."

"What you've been doing all this time, was it to get rid of the trouble that came knocking, or was it simply that you wanted to kill someone?"

He paused, then added.

"Karmar-Taj has always focused on apocalyptic crises that could shake the very existence of the Earth, and should not concern itself with worldly disputes."

"But your current actions are already showing signs of spiraling out of control."

"Moreover, your unique nature is something even the Sorcerer Supreme cannot see through, so we must treat you with caution."

Lynn was not surprised by this.

From the day King Gu Yituo sent him the invitation, he had foreseen this day.

If you calculate the time, the three-day consideration period that was set at the beginning expires today.

So many things happened during this time that he almost forgot about the invitation from the magic side.

He raised an eyebrow and suddenly chuckled softly.

His tone carried a hint of nonchalant mockery.

"What? You'll believe whatever I say?"

"You disdain deception."

The king answered without the slightest hesitation, his gaze fixed firmly on him, unwavering.

"From the moment you arrived in New York, your style of doing things has always been head-on, whatever you want and whatever you want to do."

"It's always been out in the open. You're not the kind of person who would lie to cover up your own shortcomings, and you would never stoop to doing such a thing."

This sudden certainty and agreement startled Lynn for a moment, then she chuckled softly.

The faint, defensive edge he exuded was slightly concealed, which served as a reassurance to the other party.

"rest assured."

Lynn leaned back in his chair, his tone casual.

"I haven't reached the point of being addicted to killing, much less feel uncomfortable if I don't kill a few people a day."

But then the conversation shifted.

"However—there are always some blind people who willingly walk up to my axe and beg me to kill them."

"I can't very well refuse such a request that comes to my door."

"Right?"

The king's expression remained unchanged.

But the heaviness in my heart only deepened.

He had been searching for so long, but he still couldn't figure out the source of Lynn's power.

He was able to clearly perceive everything that had happened during this period.

just now.

He could vaguely sense the chilling killing intent emanating from Lynn, as if he were enveloped in a crimson glow.

It was an aura powerful enough to make the souls of ordinary people tremble.

When Lynn gets serious, just one look from him can freeze your blood and make your heart pound.

The number of people who died at Lynn's hands has already exceeded a thousand.

Even if he's labeled a "demon," he's not wrong.

Wang couldn't even imagine what would happen if Lynn were allowed to continue killing so recklessly—

What uncontrollable changes will eventually arise, and will it become the next crisis that threatens the Earth?

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, looked up at Lynn, and said in a deep voice.

"The three-day period that was set beforehand has come to an end."

"I have come here on the orders of the Sorcerer Supreme to formally invite you to Kamar-Taj."

Lynn's face showed a knowing look; just as he suspected.

He knew that this peace was never the end, and new things would always come knocking, making it hard for him to even catch his breath.

A few ripples inevitably stirred in my heart.

He was naturally curious about Kamar-Taj, known as the magical sanctuary of Earth, and even more curious about the legendary Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One.

This attitude is very important to him.

After all, Lynn himself knew that what he had done did not seem like the actions of a "good person" in the eyes of the world.

Not to mention, the Ancient One is widely recognized as the greatest sorcerer on Earth.

If the other party really wanted to attack him, with his current strength, he would most likely have no chance to fight back.

Even though he had taken all precautions during this time, he couldn't guarantee that he would be safe from the Ancient One.

Immediately, Lynn looked at the system prompt.

The 7-day cycle was completed today.

【Crown Guard】.

A solid cloak that is entirely dark black.

The fabric appears as soft as silk, yet it possesses extremely strong physical defense and considerable magical resistance!

In addition, there's the [Anti-Magic Stone Fragment] I obtained some time ago.

This is almost all the trump cards he can currently use to deal with powerful magic users.

Lynn sighed silently in her heart.

The pressure from the Ancient One was so immense that he dared not even sliver of hope.

"I see."

Lynn stood up and stretched.

"I'll go with you."

He had intended to go alone.

After all, he knew very well what Kamar-Taj was.

Even when Doctor Strange first entered the Holy Land, he still had to endure a lot of hardship.

Not to mention Frank, who has no magical background whatsoever.

But what Wang said next made both him and Frank, who had been standing silently beside him, pause in surprise.

"Take him with you."

The king's gaze fell on Frank.

I added a sentence.

"This is the order of the Supreme Master."

"His presence has also affected many things, and as your friend, he should go with you."

The moment the words fell.

Frank's eyes lit up instantly, and he tightened his grip on the shotgun.

He could sense Lynn's tension and pressure during this period.

They also knew that Kamar-Taj was the most mysterious magical sanctuary on Earth, hiding countless unknown dangers.

He never intended for Lynn to face this alone from the beginning.

He hadn't spoken up until now, fearing that he would only be a hindrance since he had no magical foundation.

Now that His Holiness the Venerable Master has personally agreed, he naturally has no reason to refuse.

He didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Lynn first!

His eyes held both a questioning gaze and an undeniable firmness.

He didn't speak until Lynn nodded slightly.

His tone was resolute.

"I'll go with you."

Lynn rubbed her temples somewhat helplessly, but did not refuse.

He doesn't really have the confidence to refuse any of Kamar-Taj's arrangements right now.

Moreover, he understood Frank's thoughts better than anyone else.

"OK."

Lynn glanced at Frank and said casually.

"Then you go drive, we—"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang interrupted him.

Wang Yijiu kept her face expressionless.

He spoke in a very serious manner.

"Given Mr. Lynn's current fame in New York, he's under constant scrutiny wherever he goes."

"You just drive out like that, completely openly?"

"Not only will it expose your whereabouts, but the location of Kamar-Taj is also at risk of being revealed."

As he spoke, under the watchful eyes of Lynn and Frank, Wang raised his hand and drew another golden portal.

Behind the swirling sparks, one can vaguely see the ancient eaves and bluestone paths, which is the outline of Kamar-Taj.

"Please, both of you."

Wang stepped aside to make room and gestured for them to move.

Lynn's face darkened for a moment.

So his earlier comment about driving was just nonsense, and he even got a serious lecture from the monk.

But his gaze couldn't help but fall on the rotating portal, a hint of undisguised curiosity flashing in his eyes.

This was the first time he had ever been so close to it, and he was even about to step into the legendary magical portal himself.

A picture flashed through his mind instantly.

He hadn't forgotten that this seemingly rigid mage had used this very portal to sever Black Dwarf's arm with a single strike.

If the king were to suddenly shut down the portal halfway through his journey, wouldn't he be disemboweled?

Lynn gave Wang a meaningful look, said nothing more, and took the lead in walking towards the teleportation portal.

The instant he stepped halfway into the portal.

A faint reminder came from behind, Wang's tone carrying a subtle, unspoken meaning.

"Once inside, don't wander around."

"And don't touch anything indiscriminately."

Until Lynn's figure completely disappeared into the portal.

Only Frank and Wang remained.

Frank raised his shotgun expressionlessly.

He raised his hand and removed the bandages from his hand, revealing a hand covered in calluses and scars.

He slightly flexed his knuckles, which made a soft cracking sound, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

Meeting the king's gaze, he stepped into the teleportation portal.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

Kama Taj.

Lynn stood in a quaint courtyard.

-

Underfoot are smooth bluestone slabs worn by time, and all around are wooden buildings with a strong oriental feel.

The eaves are upturned and the pillars are mottled.

The air was filled with a faint scent of incense, completely isolating it from the hustle and bustle of New York.

This is the legendary Kamar-Taj.

Beside him stood a bald woman wearing a bright yellow robe.

She had no expression, her eyes and brows were calm.

But those eyes held a profound and expansive understanding of the universe and the passage of countless timelines.

It was the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth.

What made Lynn's pupils shrink suddenly was...

Frank and Wang stepped into the portal behind him —

He was standing less than three meters in front of the two of them!

But the two people seemed completely oblivious to them, passing straight through their bodies.

There wasn't even a pause.

It was as if the two of them were merely two non-existent phantoms.

He could even hear Frank and Wang talking clearly, every word distinct.

Where is Lynn?

Frank's voice tightened instantly!

The moment he landed, he whirled around and aimed his shotgun directly at the person next to him.

The gun was pressed firmly against the other person's chest.

His eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent, and he entered a state of full combat readiness.

Frank looked around.

There was no one in sight.

There were only two cups of tea that were still steaming.

It was also the first time he had ever felt a sense of horror.

Is this Kamar-Taj?

Wang frowned.

He raised his hand to push the gun away, but found that Frank's hand was as steady as a welded iron block, not moving an inch.

He could only slowly withdraw his hand and speak calmly.

"Don't be nervous, it's the Supreme Master who wants to speak with him alone."

"He is safe, you don't need to worry."

97

In mirror space.

Lynn's face darkened again upon hearing this.

Not to mention that he was pulled into this mirror space in a daze as soon as he stepped into the portal.

They were completely unaware of when they had been infected.

Let's just talk about the Supreme Sorcerer before us who wields the power of both time and space—

Wang's words, "There's no need to worry," —

That's a huge joke.

Just a second before stepping into this place.

He probably also felt that even if he was no match for the Ancient One, he would at least have room to maneuver.

At worst, they'll find a way to escape.

But now that he has personally experienced this silent and seamless manipulation of space, he has finally come to fully understand just how powerful the Ancient One truly is.

As expected of the Sorcerer Supreme who could confront Dormammu and protect Earth for hundreds of years, he is a powerful being at the multiverse level.

He didn't even have a chance to resist.

Moreover, even the King, who specializes in "space magic," possesses such exquisite skills.

The Supreme Mage before them, however, was a top expert in both the realms of time and space, the pinnacle of dual cultivation of physical and magical arts.

In ordinary stories, being able to possess even one of these qualities already makes one a chosen one, and the protagonist is one of them.

But the one in front of me—

However, he cultivated both to the extreme of the universe's rules.

Lynn sighed helplessly to herself.

Just like Xiao Yan, who clearly belongs to the Yunlan Sect and is only at the peak of the Dou Wang level, he still has to face Yun Shan, who is a three-star Dou Zong.

And now, Yunshan has been replaced by Huntiandi.

"Such a grand display from the Supreme Master—"

"What's the meaning of giving me this 'baptism of fire' and trapping me here?"

Lynn was the first to look away.

He turned to look at the Ancient One beside him, his tone tinged with a hint of probing, yet also concealing a sharp edge he was unwilling to conceal.

"What's wrong?"

"Even Kamar-Taj disapproved of what I was doing and specifically called me over—was it to wake me up and tell me to stop?"

Gu Yi did not answer immediately.

She simply looked at Lynn quietly, her gaze gentle, yet seemingly able to penetrate all appearances and reach the depths of his soul.

She has used the Eye of Agamotto, the power of the Time Stone, more than once.

To try and peek into Lynn's past and future.

But each time, all I could see was an endless expanse of chaos, or rather, nothing at all.

She has met visitors from other dimensions of the multiverse and has also encountered beings from higher dimensions.

But no one has ever been as completely isolated from the observation of time as Lynn, with no source or trace to be found.

Gu Yi gently shook her head and finally spoke.

Her voice was calm and gentle, yet it carried a sense of detachment, as if she had surveyed the world and experienced countless life and death events.

Every word carried a heavy weight: "No."

"How many people have you killed? Their lives are insignificant compared to the survival of the entire planet."

"Even insignificant."

Her words were so blunt they were almost cruel, yet they instantly revealed Kamar-Taj's core stance.

Lynn, a "devil" in the eyes of the world who commits all kinds of evil.

Compared to Dormammu, the Dark Dimensional Lord who could devour the entire Earth, they are not even dust.

And these are the beings that she, the Ancient One, faced.

As for Lynn in her eyes—

It's nothing more than child's play.

Lynn raised an eyebrow slightly.

He certainly knew what the Ancient One was referring to.

At the same time, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least for now, it doesn't seem to be because of these things.

He didn't speak, waiting for what would follow.

The Ancient One's gaze fell upon him.

She recalled that moment at the mouth of the Hudson River when she felt an unusual energy fluctuation.

That thrilling feeling, which he still can't forget, is the second reason why Lynn came here.

"I called you here just to see the stone you took out to deal with Dario Agger at the mouth of the Hudson River."

Although the tone sounded very gentle and calm.

But Lynn knew.

This carries an air of utter irrefutability.

"I'm very interested in it, can I take a look?"

The moment the words fell.

Lynn was silent for only a moment, then without the slightest hesitation, he reached into his pocket.

He took out the [Fragment of the Anti-Magic Stone] that shimmered with a faint gray luster and held it out in his palm.

The moment he opened his palm.

The [Anti-Magic Stone] in his hand seemed to be drawn by some force, flying uncontrollably toward the direction of the Ancient One.

Lynn did not stop him, nor could she stop him.

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, any refusal or resistance is futile.

He was well aware of his current strength; there was still an insurmountable gap between him and the Supreme Sorcerer of the multiverse level.

only----

The moment the Ancient One touched the Anti-Magic Stone, her gentle expression suddenly froze.

For the first time, those eyes, which had seen through countless timelines, revealed undisguised astonishment.

And that fleeting change in expression—

But Lynn saw it all.

The unease that had been suppressed by absolute power suddenly dissipated, replaced by a playful smile.

This seems like a very interesting thing.

The effect of the [Forbidden Magic Stone Fragment] is very straightforward.

It is to restrain magic and dark magic.

Perhaps no one in Kamar-Taj knows the Ancient One's background, but that doesn't mean he doesn't.

The Ancient One possessed the power of Dormammu.

Immediately.

Lynn had a vague guess in his mind.

The [Anti-Magic Stone] has a greater effect on suppressing dark magic than he imagined!

After all, compared to the Ancient One, Dario was on a completely different level.

This is good news for him.

"What—is this stone something special?"

"Is it important to the Venerable Master?"

Lynn asked with a smile.

A
