I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

But I can't detect any trace of the power gem's aura at all.

Could it be that Depp was scammed and received a fake?

However, the kind-hearted Ancient One did not point this out directly, so as not to cause Depp any emotional harm.

She planned to wait until Depp brought the Power Stone over and examined it before making a decision.

"Come to the main hall to find me."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, he stood up and took a step forward.

Without her making any movement, the portal automatically created the instant her straw sandals-clad feet were about to touch the ground.

When the Ancient One stepped into the portal and entered the sorcerer's palace in Kamar-Taj, the portal disappeared automatically again.

Seeing the Ancient One open and close the portal so smoothly and effortlessly, Depp was immediately filled with longing.

"Perhaps this is the level that the Sorcerer Supreme can achieve."

Depp reached into his pocket and then took the Power Stone from the system.

The moment the Power Stone appeared in Depp's hand, a glint flashed in Gu's eyes; she sensed the power stone's fluctuations.

Ancient One looked at Depp curiously and asked, "You actually have a way to completely conceal the aura fluctuations of the Infinity Stones?"

Gu Yi was shocked.

It's important to know that even the Power Stone, hidden inside the Orb of Destiny, was detected by the Ancient One, who was countless light-years away.

But if Depp hadn't taken out the Power Stone, he wouldn't have even sensed its presence.

This is simply unbelievable!

Gu Yi subconsciously touched the Eye of Agamotto on his chest. Even the first Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto, could not completely conceal the fluctuations of the Infinity Stone.

After all, the Infinity Stones represent the integration of the singularity fragments from the very beginning of this universe, and are the most fundamental power of this universe.

Even the gods cannot compare to it.

Depp understood why the Sorcerer Supreme was so shocked, and then said, "Yes, perhaps it has something to do with the ability to travel between two completely unrelated planes."

Gu Yi nodded upon hearing this, "It seems that this is the only explanation."

Depp opened his palm, and the Power Gem, radiating a soft purple glow, floated in his hand like a well-behaved child.

Gu Yi glanced at it and immediately confirmed that this was the real Power Gem.

What are you going to do with it?

Gu Yi asked.

Depp smiled slightly, it seemed his plan had worked.

Depp deliberately took out the Power Stone's onion system space in front of the Ancient One to show her that he had a way to completely block out the fluctuations of the Infinity Stones.

In other words, the Infinity Stones are safer in Johnny Depp's hands than in anyone else's.

Whether Depp puts the Infinity Stones in the system space or takes them back to the DC universe, Thanos will not be able to detect the presence of the Infinity Stones, and therefore will not be able to track or obtain them.

This is good news for both Earth and the entire universe.

Yes, that's what the Ancient One would definitely think.

The Ancient One's current reaction is much in line with what Depp had envisioned.

After all, the Ancient One was asking Depp how he wanted to deal with the Power Stone, not herself.

Depp pretended to ponder for two seconds before saying, "I think... since I can completely block the fluctuations of the Infinity Stones, it is naturally my duty to preserve and protect the Power Stone."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi smiled with satisfaction.

"As expected of the apprentice I chose, he is indeed a responsible person."

“Since you’ve chosen to guard the Power Stone alone, you must continue to face Thanos’s threat.” The Ancient One took out a silver ring and handed it to Depp, saying, “This silver ring can increase your casting speed and spell effects. Keep it.”

"Thank you, teacher!"

Depp put away the Power Stone, reached out and took the silver slingshot, examining it closely.

The new suspension ring is entirely silver, but there is a chance that a pale green mist will swirl around it.

Clearly, this thing is not made of ordinary silver.

As for the material, Depp put on the Mirror of Information, and information about the new ring immediately appeared before his eyes.

Silver pendant ring,

This is a high-grade hanging ring forged by experienced sorcerers of Kamar-Taj using snow silver ore, a specialty of the Himalayas. It can significantly enhance the wearer's spellcasting efficiency and magical power.

Furthermore, because it is made of snow silver, the silver ring also has the effect of calming the mind and resisting certain mental attacks.

In addition, the magic arrays and patterns engraved on the silver ring are more mysterious and complex than those on the previous brass ring.

As soon as Depp put on the silver ring, he immediately felt a cool sensation enter his body from the ring.

Clearly, this power is the key to why the Silver Ring can help users resist mental attacks.

This time, Depp's fingers trembled slightly, and the portal immediately appeared before him.

Compared to before, the speed has increased by almost double!

I have to say, this is really a great product!

Depp pondered to himself that perhaps the Ancient One was able to open the portal without casting a spell because she used a more advanced slingshot.

After all, in the Marvel movies, even Doctor Strange needs to make a gesture to open a portal.

Depp said, "Thank you, teacher, you are so generous."

Gu Yi smiled and said, "Compared to the sacrifices you have made to protect this world, this is nothing at all."

At the same time, Depp's pupils contracted.

He saw the information on the ring on the Ancient One's hand.

Brass pendant ring,

The standard equipment for Kamar-Taj mages is the most basic hanging ring, nothing special.

The Ancient One was only using a brass ring?!

Depp immediately realized that his previous thoughts were far too naive.

As the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One's power is beyond doubt. For her, using magic is probably as natural as eating and drinking.

Opening a mere portal requires absolutely no effort!

Depp knew,

The seemingly frail woman before me possesses a true power sufficient to destroy the entire Earth, or even the entire universe.

Even Thanos dared not come to Earth to wreak havoc because of her existence.

This is the Ancient One, Marvel's most powerful sorceress.

Faced with the powerful Ancient One, Depp asked his own question.

"How do you manage to open a portal without using gestures?"

Upon hearing Depp's words, the Ancient One walked up to him and said, "A true sorcerer doesn't need to cast spells; everything is within your heart."

"Everything...is in my heart?" Depp, at this moment, could not understand the Ancient One's words.

However, this still gave Depp some inspiration.

Depp bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, my teacher. I will go back and think about it carefully."

"So where are you going now?" the Ancient One asked. "Are you going to say goodbye to Tony Stark, or to your company in New York, or... back to the other world?"

As she spoke, the Ancient One drew a portal and brought over the orange juice from her room.

Then, completely disregarding her sophisticated image, she started slurping her drink right in front of Depp, sticking to her habit.

Depp was speechless upon seeing this.

Teacher, just how much do you like drinking orange juice?

"I'm planning to go to the company now, then spend a few days with Tony, and finally go back to the other side."

Depp has never really paid much attention to his business dealings with Marvel.

As a hands-off boss, Depp felt it was necessary to come here and see just how big his company had grown.

And then there's Quentin Baker, the mystery writer. I've been keeping him out of the loop for almost a year now, and I wonder what his mental state is like.

To be honest, Depp is quite worried about this guy.

After all, if this guy turned into a mystery guest because of my neglect, it would make me feel a little bit frustrated.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient One said, "Perhaps you won't make it to lunch in Kamar-Taj."

"Lunch?" Depp said. "No, I'd love to wait until I've eaten before I leave."

Gu Yi gently stroked Agamotto on her chest and said, "Lunch will probably be ready in about forty minutes. I think I can check your current strength first."

As soon as Gu Yi finished speaking, Depp found himself and her suddenly falling into a desert.

It was obvious that the Ancient One had opened a portal beneath Depp's feet without him noticing.

Depp crashed to the ground from the great height, creating a large crater, and the shockwave blew surrounding rocks and sand far away.

Looking around at the swirling darkness in the sky, Depp immediately knew that this was no longer Earth.

It seems that the Ancient One sent herself to a planet even more desolate than Morag.

There is absolutely no sign of life here.

Opposite Depp, the Ancient One touched the ground with the toe of his left foot, without causing the slightest damage or disturbance.

“Although I don’t know why, the speed at which your power is increasing is beyond my comprehension,” the Ancient One said. “But you don’t seem to have gained the control to match it.”

Control?

Depp, who had just stood up, was taken aback when he heard what the Ancient One said.

However, he immediately understood the meaning behind Gu Yi's words.

Because of the system, the speed at which I gain abilities and the speed at which my abilities are enhanced are like riding a rocket.
