I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

However, Depp speculated that this time-stopping technique might not be so effective against powerful beings like Thanos or Odin.

But this will most likely slow them down or weaken most of their combat power.

This is likely why Thanos didn't dare to invade Earth while the Ancient One was still alive.

“Teacher, you are very weak right now,” Depp said.

Ancient One waved her hand dismissively and said, "I've encountered countless crises and repelled countless dimensional demons that wanted to invade Earth and even this universe. Compared to the miserable state I was in after fighting those guys, this level of damage is just enough to let me sleep a few more times."

Depp wouldn't care whether the Ancient One's weakened state was due to simply taking a few naps.

Reaching into his inner pocket, Depp retrieved a whole box of twenty bottles of concentrated life essence from his system space and handed them to the Ancient One, saying, "Teacher, this stuff can restore your energy in an instant. I remember you should have tried it."

"Yes, but I can't take it. This thing is useful to you too."

Gu Yi looked at the life-concentrated purification fluid in Depp's hand and shook her head repeatedly in refusal.

She even knew the magical effects of the white liquid in the small glass bottle in Depp's hand, and even the preciousness of it.

So when Depp handed her twenty bottles at once, the Ancient One immediately refused.

But Depp ignored him and threw the entire case of concentrated life essence over him.

After all, the Ancient One, Depp's first teacher after his time travel, genuinely helped him many times.

In the years since Depp traveled through time, the Ancient One has definitely been one of the people he cares about most.

Therefore, a mere few dozen bottles of concentrated life essence are nothing compared to the comfort offered by the Ancient One.

"Teacher, I have a lot of this stuff. If you like it, I can bring you a case whenever I have time."

After Depp finished speaking, he took out three more boxes of concentrated life essence and showed them to the Ancient One.

Hearing Depp's words, the Ancient One caught the scattered concentrated essence of life in the air. She could clearly sense the enormous life energy and spiritual energy contained in the three boxes of milky white liquid in Depp's hands.

Without a doubt, what Depp said is true; he has a lot more of this stuff.

Since that's the case, Gu Yi stopped being coy: "Alright, then I'll accept it. I have to say, maintaining my mental state is actually quite important to me."

With that, Gu Yi opened a bottle and drank it down.

As the concentrated essence of life entered her stomach and was rapidly absorbed, the Ancient One's mental and physical strength recovered at an extremely fast pace.

In Depp's eyes, the ashen look on the Ancient One's face vanished within seconds after she drank the concentrated essence of life.

Instead, her complexion was slightly yellow with a rosy glow.

“Yes, teacher. In this universe, and even in other dimensions, there are many enemies that you need to keep an eye on at all times,” Depp said. “Especially those guys from other dimensions, they are always waiting for you to become weak and tired. So, whether it is to protect this planet or to protect this world, you must take care of your health.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi smiled and said, "You seem to know... a lot of things."

“Yes, I know a lot,” Depp nodded, making no attempt to hide it. “Besides the teacher’s enemies, I also know the person you’ve been waiting for... Stephen Strange.”

"You actually know Strange!"

The Ancient One asked in shock, "But... without the Time Stone, how did you see the future?"

Depp didn't know how to explain, but he didn't want to lie to the Ancient One: "Teacher... if... um... I mean, if I said I saw these futures in comic books and movies... would you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi's face flashed with surprise, and she said, "Of course I believe you. I was just being careless. There are definitely more ways to glimpse the future than just the Time Stone."

Of course, using the Time Stone is the easiest and clearest way to glimpse the future.

Upon hearing this, Depp immediately realized that the Ancient One had misunderstood.

What I mean is that I have read stories about Marvel superheroes in comic books and movies.

After all, both Marvel and DC are fictional creations within their own comic book companies.

The Ancient One, however, believed that Depp could glimpse the future through drawing comics or meditating.

However, Depp didn't offer any explanation, which is actually quite good.

He hadn't lied, and the Ancient One hadn't realized that he might be a comic book or movie character.

“We should head to the cafeteria,” the Ancient One said. “Unless you want to miss the sumptuous lunch at Kamar-Taj.”

Depp checked the time; he still had a little over three days left in his Marvel world trip. Having lunch in Kamar-Taj wouldn't take long, so he had plenty of time.

Just as Depp was about to agree to the Ancient One's request, he caught a glimpse of Kurumi Tsuchimikado, who was crouching furtively next to a square pillar in the corner of the hall.

"Never mind, teacher, I'd better go now. Tony said he's in big trouble."

After saying that, Depp didn't wait for the Ancient One to reply and immediately opened a portal connecting to New York and jumped in.

Just after the portal closed, Kurumi Tsuchimikado, who had leaped up from a distance, flew through the air and landed directly in the Ancient One's arms.

"Damn it! That guy got away again!"

"I'm so angry," said Tsuchimikado Kurumi.

When she looked up and realized she had fallen into the arms of the Ancient One, she was immediately stunned, then looked away and said, "T-Teacher."

Gu Yi looked at the little girl who had rushed into his arms, stroked her hair, and smiled indulgently.

-----

New York, Stark Tower.

Tony showed no surprise at Depp's sudden intrusion into his bedroom.

For several years, they faced Depp's sudden intrusion.

Tony was already used to it, whether it was the bedroom, the living room, or even the bathroom.

"Have you finished your business?"

Tony said, wrapped in the blanket.

Depp nodded, picked up a sandwich from the table, took a bite, and said, "Yes, your sandwich tastes good."

“Of course, these are fresh sandwiches.” Tony asked, “How many more days can you stay here this time?”

"About three days."

Depp stuffed the rest of the sandwich into his mouth; he was starving.

He trained intensely for a week in the time-stopped space created by the Ancient One, almost draining all the energy from his body.

However, since there was no danger or mission at the moment, Depp did not use the Life Concentrate directly.

Instead, she plans to eat more and then get a good night's sleep, just like the Ancient One did at the beginning.

"I told you to eat slowly, don't choke!" Tony quickly got up, poured Depp a glass of water, and said, "Do you need me to prepare a big meal for you? Judging from your appearance, what have you been through these past few days?"

“I really need your big meal, dear Tony!” Depp downed his glass of water in one gulp and said, “I’ve practically lived through an entire movie these past few days.”

Yes, it's Guardians of the Galaxy.

“A movie?” Tony chuckled, clearly not believing Depp’s nonsense, but then he changed the subject and asked, “Do you remember your own company, and that special effects expert who got kicked out of my company?”

"You mean Quentin Baker?"

"Depp asked."

At the same time, he thought to himself, Tony actually mentioned this guy who was completely insignificant to him. Could it be that this guy has caused some trouble again?

“That’s right, it’s him!” Tony nodded. “This guy is so bored he’s practically going crazy. He’s been frantically asking Pepper and me these past few days, begging us to ask you when we can give him a movie script and funding. He’s practically going insane from boredom.”

“He’s really eager to prove himself,” Depp said. “In that case, I’ll go talk to him after I finish your meal. I have to admit I’ve been ignoring him for too long; it’s time to give him a good thrashing.”

Soon, one delicious dish after another was delivered to Tony's bedroom.

The waiters were even wearing white shirts and black vests.

If Depp hadn't known he was in Tony's private bedroom in Stark Tower, he would have even doubted whether he was in a five-star hotel.

Roast chicken, roast fish, roast steak, cheese bread, roast suckling pig, caviar sushi, and stewed mushroom soup.

One dish after another was laid out in front of me, all of them extremely high in calories.

Clearly, Tony paid special attention to Depp's current condition when ordering food, as he needed a lot of high-calorie food to replenish his energy.

Depp's eyes lit up as he looked at the food on the table, and without saying a word, he began to devour it.

In front of Tony, Depp doesn't need to worry about his image at all, and vice versa.

"Eat slowly, my God, are you a wild animal?"

Tony was speechless as he watched Depp carrying a suckling pig leg in one hand and a roast chicken in the other.

Not to mention, just over ten minutes later, Depp had eaten the entire table of food.

Even the spices in the mushroom soup were swallowed by Depp.

"Is your stomach connected to an interdimensional portal?" Tony asked, sitting in a chair with his nightcap drooping over his eyes. "Are you full? Should I order another table?"

Depp looked up, wiped his greasy mouth, and asked, "Really?"

"Sure! Of course! I'm just worried you won't have enough to eat."

Soon, the second table of food that Tony had ordered was also devoured by Depp.

Depp wiped his mouth, patted his round belly, and said, "Tony, you're really my best buddy."

Tony pointed to Depp's greasy mouth and clothes, as well as his round belly, and asked, "You go to your company like this?"

"Of course not!"

With that, Depp closed his eyes and began to focus on digesting the food in his stomach.

Chapter 307 Movie

Depp's digestive system began rapidly breaking down the food in his stomach into energy and nutrients.

Tony looked at Depp's shrinking belly and his eyebrows almost twisted into a knot.

"What kind of digestion speed is that?" Tony said. "Damn, if I could do that, I wouldn't need to rely on the gym to maintain my figure!"

After digesting his food, Depp opened his eyes and said without any mercy, "I have to say, Tony, compared to other superheroes, your physique is indeed not up to par."

"Fuck off!"

Tony, his pride wounded, yelled, "Go back to your lousy comic book company and go check on the guy I fired!"

Depp wasn't angry when he heard this, but instead said in a cheeky tone, "When the movie is released, we'll still need your connections to smooth things over."
