Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

With that thought in mind, Peter sneered and instantly activated the power of the Horse Talisman.

Under the influence of the horse talisman's light, the restless power within his body was seized and instantly refined.

With the combined blessing of the Horse Talisman and the Phoenix Power, it was quickly purified into a strengthening energy that was entirely beneficial to Peter and flowed into Peter's limbs and bones.

An unprecedented feeling of energy welled up within Peter.

Peter could clearly feel that his physical strength had undergone an epic leap.

Without any hesitation, Peter looked directly at Tony and said:

"Tony, now, right now, fire a shot at me, at full power."

"No, even the maximum power is not enough. We even had to use the artifact components I gave you."

Tony felt like he was going crazy when he heard this:

"Dude, are you serious? This isn't the way to commit suicide, is it?"

"If I accidentally mess this up, I'll become a sinner to the whole world."

"Don't worry." Peter patted his chest casually.

When have I ever done anything I wasn't sure about?

Seeing how confident Peter was.

After gritting his teeth, Tony finally made up his mind:

"Damn it, I'll fuck you! The chance to go all out on you is extremely rare!"

As he spoke, Tony began to frantically gather energy, just as Peter had said, even using the component of the artifact turret.

Golden energy was frantically gathering on the shoulder-mounted cannon barrel.

Ultimately, it transformed into a blinding golden beam of light that hurtled towards Peter.

Wherever it passed, the earth was instantly vaporized, and the surrounding land faintly showed signs of molten lava, demonstrating just how terrifying the power of this blast was.

It's no exaggeration to say that if this shot were fired into space, it could at least blast through an asteroid!

But even with such an attack, Peter didn't even try to defend himself.

He didn't even use Armament Haki; he simply raised one hand and used a symbiotic mode with about 50% concentration to make his hand enormous, attempting to take the blast head-on with it.

About ten seconds later, the energy in Tony's energy cannon was completely depleted.

The moment the golden light dissipated, everyone looked at Peter with tension.

When the smoke cleared, everyone present gasped in shock.

Peter's legs dug two deep furrows in the ground, yet he remained firmly in place, maintaining the posture of catching the light cannon with one hand.

His body remained unchanged, except that the energy from the light cannon burned a hole through his palm, revealing the white metacarpal bones inside.

Around the metacarpal bone, fine symbiotic tissue seeped out from the charred flesh and blood and wriggled wildly. Before long, it filled the flesh and blood in the palm of the hand, and there was no trace of the previous injury.

After absorbing the Black Death Sword, his physical strength became terrifyingly powerful!

Peter's breathing quickened as he looked at his hand, which had been completely restored in the blink of an eye without even using the Horse Charm.

He was now absolutely certain that even if the Celestials buried deep within the Earth were to resurrect immediately, he could fight that Mahjong Head Celestial for three hundred rounds without a clear winner!

"Fuck!" After letting out a long sigh of relief, Tony couldn't help but swear again when he saw Peter was unharmed.

This is absolutely outrageous!

He finally managed to... well, okay, the enhancement was all given to him by Peter, so he actually completed the enhancement quite easily.

But no matter what, this was an attack powerful enough to destroy an asteroid, yet it only managed to pierce Peter's palm.

This is outrageous!

You're making me, the mighty Iron Man, look useless!

Beside him, the Ancient One, though not exactly dumbfounded, had a look in his eyes that others couldn't decipher.

Seemingly sensing the Ancient One's gaze, Peter turned his head, his eyes meeting those of the Sorcerer Supreme.

Noticing the Ancient One's hesitant expression, he thought for a moment and then simply spoke:

“Ancient One, now that the crisis has been resolved, how about we go to our Avengers Tower for a visit?”

The Ancient One's eyes flickered, clearly understanding Peter's unspoken meaning, and she smiled and nodded:

"I couldn't refuse their kind invitation."

After Gu nodded, Peter turned his gaze to Wanda, who was hiding behind the crowd:

"As for you, although you didn't seem to contribute much in this battle, it's more fun to celebrate with one more person."

Upon hearing this, Wanda's eyes lit up at first, but then she deliberately shook her head, feigning aloofness, and said:

"I...I'm not interested in those kinds of occasions."

But just then, a hand silently landed on her shoulder.

The Mantis Woman approached Wanda at some point, her antenna-like antennae waving curiously at her. She then leaned close to Wanda's ear and whispered something in her ear.

I can sense your emotions.

The Mantis's tone was incredibly naive, yet its destructive power was comparable to a nuclear bomb:

“Peter has too many girls around him. If you keep waiting for him to come to you, it will be difficult to get the result you want.”

Upon hearing this, Wanda's entire face flushed red, from her neck to her ears.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I never thought about such a thing!" Her voice trembled.

The Mantis Woman blinked her big eyes: "But your emotions tell you that you really want to go."

Wanda: "..."

Now they don't even have the room to be stubborn anymore.

She stole a glance at Peter, who, seeing that she hadn't responded, simply looked away. Then she looked at the Mantis woman, who was waiting for a reply with an innocent expression. After hesitating for a long time, she finally gave a barely perceptible reply:

"Since... since I've already been invited, then... I'll reluctantly go and take a look."

The Mantis nodded in satisfaction, her antennae twitching with delight, and her eyes were full of smugness as she looked at Gwen and the others.

……

Not long after, at the banquet in Avengers Tower.

After a few rounds of drinks, Tony and the others were having a great time, each of them loudly boasting.

At that moment, however, the Ancient One quietly appeared before Peter:

“Mr. Arbitrator, there are some things I would like to say to you privately.”

Peter looked up at the Ancient One's calm and expressionless face, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Before long, the two entered a private room together.

Once the door is closed, the noise outside is reduced to a muffled background sound.

The Ancient One silently observed Peter, as if making some kind of decision. After a long while, she took a deep breath and spoke:

"Mr. Arbitrator, have you ever thought about what it takes for a person to live for hundreds of years?"

Peter had a vague idea of ​​the answer, so he spoke directly:

"Senior, just say what you want to say."

Gu looked at him, and after a long while, finally uttered two words:

"Dark Dimension, Dormammu."

Chapter 411 Sorcerer Supreme Gwen?

Upon hearing the Ancient One mention those two words, Peter couldn't help but think to himself, "Just as I expected."

"As the Sorcerer Supreme, my duty is to protect the Earth and prevent Dormammu's dark dimension from invading."

Ancient One slowly began to recount the origins of the Sorcerer Supreme:

"Early in my life, I always adhered to my duties."

"But later, as time went on, I gradually realized that things were not as simple as I thought."

"Due to the development of the times and technology, people's understanding of magic is decreasing, and the number of outsiders arriving at Kamar-Taj is decreasing year by year."

"Most of them are weak-willed and have difficulty even mastering basic magic, let alone inheriting my mantle and taking over the position of the Sorcerer Supreme."

"I am getting older and older, but a suitable successor has never appeared."

"In order to defend Earth, I had no choice but to steal the power of the Dark Dimension to prolong my life."

Gu Yi's voice was very soft, but her body trembled uncontrollably as she spoke:

“I have violated the taboos that I should have followed as the Sorcerer Supreme, and betrayed the core precepts that I set for myself.”

“I teach each of my disciples to stay away from darkness, yet I myself drink poison to quench my thirst day after day.”

She said this with a blank expression, but Peter could feel how heavy the thing underneath was.

"I thought I would have to continue to live on, burdened by this sin, in shame."

At this point, the Ancient One raised her head, and an unprecedented light shone in her eyes as she looked at Peter.

"But today, I have witnessed your power."

“You are far more powerful than me. With you here, Earth no longer needs a gatekeeper who forcibly prolongs its life by stealing from the Dark Dimension.”

As she said this, a relieved smile curved her lips.

"So I think it's time to put an end to this crime."

After hearing what the Ancient One said, Peter fell silent.

To put it bluntly, once the Ancient One saw that Peter was capable of fighting Dormammu, he wanted to completely sever his ties with the Dark Dimension and end his long lifespan of several hundred years.

After hearing everything the Ancient One had said, Peter did not try to persuade her to continue living.

Under normal circumstances, living alone for hundreds of years is already a form of torture.
