My Marvel Superman Girlfriend.

"Is this New York City?" hope Nian looked up and could see the iconic skyscrapers of the city center in the distance.

This should be located on the edge of downtown New York, not so bustling, with golden sunlight bathing the quiet and orderly Western streets.

The Ancient One walked straight to the side of the street, where a church-style building stood, five or six stories high, with a large, retro clock on the front of the top floor.

Blick Street, 177A.

The Ancient One led Xinian into the church building. The interior was dimly lit, and everything was ancient and mysterious. Monks in robes hurriedly came down the wooden steps to greet them: "Greetings, Supreme Master!"

He glanced at the boy standing next to the Ancient One with surprise, not expecting the Sorcerer Supreme to bring an ordinary person, especially a child, into this place.

This is the first time in decades.

“This is the New York Sanctum, one of the three sanctums. This is the sorcerer Daniel, the guardian of the New York Sanctum,” the Ancient One introduced to Xinian.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Daniel," Xinian greeted politely.

Hello, little friend.

Daniel responded quickly, asking curiously, "Sorcerer Supreme, is he our future junior brother?"

The Ancient One did not respond, but instructed, "Go and practice. I'll keep an eye on the New York Sanctum."

"Yes, Your Holiness."

Daniel nodded quickly, without asking any further questions. He bowed once more, then swiftly opened a portal and disappeared into the sanctuary.

Now, the vast New York Sanctuary fell completely silent.

The Ancient One formed an unknown hand seal, causing ripples in the space like those on a glass mirror, which quickly disappeared back into the space and returned to calm.

"Take that out first."

The Ancient One gestured to the Rubik's Cube in Xinian's hand.

Xinian immediately handed over the Rubik's Cube he was holding in his right hand. The Ancient One conjured several magical golden threads that wrapped around the iron-plated Rubik's Cube. The blazing red-hot golden threads continuously flickered sparks, melting the iron plating. Accompanied by beams of blue light, the gilded Rubik's Cube was restored to its original shape.

Its perfect cube shape, with its own dazzling blue light, is transparent and mysterious inside, containing unknown and powerful energy.

Crimson gold threads lock the blue Rubik's Cube in place.

"How much do you know about it?" The Ancient One glanced at the Rubik's Cube, then looked up at Xinian and asked.

hope Nian shrugged and said bluntly, "I know this thing was found by Red Skull, the leader of Hydra, in a pyramid tomb during World War II. They called it the 'Cosmic Cube,' and Hydra used it to mass-produce infinite energy. After World War II, the Cube has been under the control of S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. has been secretly researching it."

"Iron Man's father used it to discover a new element, which is why Hydra took notice of him."

"More than a decade ago, someone even tried to use it to create a light-speed engine, which indirectly led to the 'death' of a female air force pilot, Carol Danvers."

"Then a few months ago, the alien god Loki used it to open a portal to the other side of the universe, which triggered the Battle of New York."

……

This is all the information that Xinian obtained from Hydra last night.

The Cosmic Cube—throughout the history of human technology, its presence has always been felt behind the scenes!

Just like the mother box of Apokolips!

Yet it's completely different from the mother box...

"The Cosmic Cube—many people only know its surface."

The Ancient One gently shook her head, and with a pull of her hands, the golden threads of Mars immediately tightened, and the Tesseract began to crack!

Xinian's eyes widened in surprise.

The outer shell of the Cosmic Cube shattered completely, turning into blue light energy and dissipating, revealing the hidden core within.

A gem the size of a thumb!

To be more precise, it's a sapphire!

The gemstone radiated a brilliant blue light, its power unfathomable, and it was suspended in mid-air, suppressed by the golden threads of Mars!

The Ancient One murmured, "In the beginning of the universe, there was only chaos. The Big Bang created six elemental crystals, which roamed the nascent universe—these are the Infinity Stones!"

"Each Infinity Stone possesses a specific attribute."

"Sapphire—space, ruby—reality, topaz—mind, amethyst—power, orange—soul, and emerald—time!"

As the Ancient One explained, she continued to cast spells, conjuring golden threads of fire that wrapped around the sphere in Xinian's left hand.

The sphere's metal continued to melt, and its core, which could not be melted away, was clearly a gemstone as well!

However, the gemstone is yellow, and it is equally dazzling and breathtaking!

"I see. So these two are the Space Stone and the Mind Stone, and the Tesseract and the Mind Stone are just their carriers." Xi Nian's eyes lit up with realization, and he suddenly asked excitedly, "Sorcerer, does that mean that collecting all six Infinity Stones can grant any wish? Or summon a dragon or something?"

"A wish? A dragon?"

Even the Ancient One was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Each Infinity Stone possesses a different specific attribute, and each one is fought over by different civilizations in the universe, to the point that they are eventually controlled by the power of the stones, leading to the destruction of civilizations and the fall of planets. Not to mention collecting all six Infinity Stones, whose powerful energy is enough to destroy half the universe!"

"OK then."

Xinian was deeply disappointed. He no longer felt as excited as before when he looked at the gemstone; his joy had been in vain.

"Master, do you want the gems? If so, I'll give you both," hope Nian said readily.

Ancient One: "..."

Xinian's idea was very pure.

He originally took the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter from the Battle of New York to prevent them from causing secondary damage.

Now, although we know the importance and nature of the gems, we also know that the Infinity Stones are difficult to control and will ultimately destroy the user, directly or indirectly.

and so.

The Infinity Stones are a hot potato for Xinian; it would be better to hand them over to the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, to avoid causing trouble.

The Ancient One solemnly replied, "Now that you have obtained the Infinity Stones, it means the stones have chosen you—you are now considered a guardian of the stones, and you can no longer leave them lying around carelessly; you must safeguard them properly!"

She took out a silver pendant necklace from the sleeve of her black robe. With a strange spell, the metal pendant seemed to open, revealing an empty groove inside, into which a golden thread held a space gem—

Click click!

The metal pendant closed, sealing the space gem inside, preventing the blue light from escaping.

Gu Yi pointed with his hand.

The silver metal necklace floated forward and landed around the boy's neck.

hope Nian: "..."

Chapter 208, Xinian's Gemstone Artifact: Knowing the Past

New York Sanctuary.

A faint beam of light shone through the gaps in the window into the empty and silent interior of the church. There wasn't even a speck of dust in the air. The strange and ancient Western architecture and interior decoration seemed unchanged for hundreds of years.

The main hall on the first floor.

Xi Nian looked down at the silver metal necklace around his neck, his eyes twitching slightly. He felt that the Ancient One was even more reluctant to deal with trouble than he was, so she used this method to shirk her responsibility.

I really don't want to be a gem guardian!

After all, in most stories, these are characters who are targeted by the villains.

The Ancient One said, "I sealed the Space Stone with a magical artifact and added a layer of magic to make it look more like an ordinary silver necklace. You can wear it like this, and no one will notice."

"Can I not wear this gemstone necklace...?" Xinian casually fiddled with the pendant, looking distressed.

The Ancient One was at a loss for words.

The Cosmic Cube, the Space Stone.

If it were released into the outside world, it would cause unimaginable upheaval and chaos; it is a priceless treasure that countless civilizations in the universe would covet...

Only today's teenagers feel disgusted and want to get rid of it.

As if worried that Xinian might just casually toss the gem into a storage cabinet at home afterward, the Ancient One quickly said, "The magical artifact necklace became the carrier of the Space Stone. Although it basically served to imprison and seal, the artifact also gained the elemental properties of space as a result."

"Wearing it, even an ordinary person can use spatial magic to a certain extent."

Master Gu Yi gestured to Xinian: "Try holding the pendant of the ritual implement."

hope Nian tried it after hearing this.

As he grasped the cold, metallic pendant of the necklace, a faint, mysterious blue light began to emanate from between his fingers—

Compared to the previous destructive energy, the current energy is clearly much milder.

A magical feeling welled up in Xinian's heart.

“This is…” hope Nian’s eyes showed surprise.

The Ancient One explained, "This magical necklace records the places you have been. The moment you hold it, no matter where you are, it can allow you to cross space and arrive at that recorded point."

"No distance restrictions?"

Yes, there are no distance restrictions.

The Ancient One nodded slightly: "Even if you are tens or hundreds of millions of light-years away, on the other side of the starry sky, you can cross over directly as long as you hold it. However, it can only be used three times a day."

This magical artifact's function is basically teleportation...

A thought struck hope Nian, and he asked curiously, "What if I were in another dimension?"

"..."

The Ancient One looked at him silently and said calmly, "You can try."

"Then forget it."

hope Nian shrugged, having no intention of trying it out. He tucked the necklace pendant inside his clothes, sighed, and said, "Then I'll reluctantly wear it."

"As for the other gem..."

The Ancient One's profound gaze fell upon the Mind Stone, still exposed to the air and radiating a hazy yellow light: "I will also craft it into an artifact to imprison and conceal the gem's power. However, each person can only wear one gem artifact; otherwise, the two gems will revive under continuous resonance. You can choose a powerful enough gem guardian to bestow upon her."

"Before that."

The Ancient One paused for a moment, then asked Xinian, "Could I borrow this gem for a while?"

"Borrow gemstones?" Xinian asked, puzzled.
