Superman

"You should be the supreme mage of one universe anyway, but you can still do the same if you are the supreme mage of two universes. What's the difference?"

Gu Yi curled his lips and seemed a little unhappy.

The Eye of Agamodha is the supreme artifact of Karma Taj.

There is an infinite rough stone inside, which can distort time and trace back all things.

If it had been any other mages, they would have been overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

In the end, it was Luke's turn, but he refused outright.

The Supreme Mage has no face!?

"Thank you Master Gu Yi for your kindness, but unfortunately I just want to live a peaceful life."

Luke replied rather perfunctorily.

Gu Yi obviously dug a hole waiting for him to jump into.

The Eye of Agamodha is not only the supreme artifact of Karma Taj, but also the inherited token of the Supreme Mage.

If you really want to take over, it will be equivalent to taking the initiative to take on Gu Yi's work.

Although, Luke has become the Supreme Mage.

But he still hasn't found out how deep the water in Universe 91 is.

It was only because he was forcibly appointed by Emperor Weishan, and because of the mission reward, that he sat in that position.

Judging from the current situation, this universe is definitely more complicated than the movie universe.

What if I just took over the position, and then the gods called, the Life Tribunal appeared, the five gods died, and the big event of restarting the multiverse began... What should I do?

As usual, in the face of a major crisis sweeping the universe, a superhero needs to be sacrificed first.

There was Superman and The Flash on the set next door taking the job.

For decades, one day, waiting to be sacrificed.

But if you switch to the Marvel universe, it's much more complicated.

Because there is no fixed candidate.

Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel and others have all been sacrificed once or even multiple times.

If we sum up the rules, Luke believes that the greater the reputation, the easier it is to get this hard-won precious opportunity.

After all, no one cares if you get a lunch box of junk fish.

To sum up, becoming the supreme mage of the universe is enough of a headache.

If another one comes, Luke is worried that he will not be far away from being sacrificed.

"Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Your ideas are too narrow. In addition to protecting the earth, the Supreme Mage does not need to sacrifice anything."

Ancient One seemed to have guessed part of Luke's thoughts and shook his head.

"Having some suspicion and malice towards anyone is less likely to suffer."

Luke smiled brightly when he saw the Supreme Mage putting on a magnanimous expression of "I am a positive person, how could I lie to you?"

He himself is still a beacon in the world, a light of righteousness, but he still occasionally does things... that violate the rules.

Superheroes only have a higher moral bottom line, but with certain "correct" purposes, they make big mistakes and create disasters - this has become a daily routine in the Marvel Universe.

For example, Crisis of Ultron.

No matter in the movie universe or in the comics.

The purpose of creating Ultron was good from the beginning.

However, the result was not satisfactory.

The former led to the Sokovia Incident, and later the Superhero Registration Act, sowing the seeds for a civil war.

The latter is even worse. Ultron has become the ultimate villain dedicated to eradicating all life on earth, bringing endless death and destruction to the world. It can be said to be a lingering nightmare for the Avengers.

In addition, the Illuminati expelled the Hulk, triggering the subsequent "Hulk World War".

In order to prevent the earth from being invaded, he broke into the Skrulls' planet to show off his force, and then pretended not to be able to do it but was fooled, killing everyone one by one, which led to the secret invasion incident.

Behaviors such as doing bad things with good intentions, making it impossible to end, and making innocent people pay for it are completely traditional arts in the Marvel Universe.

Therefore, Luke's trust in superheroes has always been only at a barely passing level.

Good people make mistakes too, and unlike villains, they always get the punishment they deserve.

Good people will suffer inner torture and fall into self-repentance.

But when he saves the world again, his past mistakes will be forgotten and he will still be sought after by the public.

Luke didn't think this was the right thing to do.

"So, Agamodha's judgment about you is correct. You are unwilling to sacrifice for others and have a strong sense of self. This is difficult to meet the requirements of Emperor Weishan."

Gu Yi was thoughtful and shook the wooden-handled fan in his hand.

She has no prejudice against Luke and demands sacrifices from others. She is no different from a robber.

It's just a pity that the bald mage is a man. If Superman's moral bottom line is improved, he will be the perfect successor to the Mage Supreme.

"I was appointed by the emperor. If Emperor Weishan thinks that by letting me sit in this position, he can change my mind, then the Supreme Mage shouldn't do it."

Luke said with a shrug.

The steaming tea in the cup has cooled down.

He took a sip and looked at Gu Yi calmly.

"Okay, I take back what I said before."

Ancient One put down the Eye of Agamodha in her hand, and after realizing that Luke was conflicted about words such as responsibility, obligation, and sacrifice, she seemed to think of something and raised the corners of her mouth.

"You should understand that sooner or later you will face a choice."

The Supreme Master spoke with profound meaning, and said slowly: "There is a saying in the East, if the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up."

"As you gain more power and become stronger, sooner or later you will stand in front of the entire world and the entire universe."

"What are you going to do then?"

The Ancient One asked the key question.

"Let's talk about it when we get to that point."

Luke's answer seemed extremely perfunctory, and then he changed the topic which was both unpleasant and boring.

He put down the tea cup, expressed his intention, and got to the point.

"Making a deal with the devil, and Mephisto at that?"

After listening to the story, Gu Yi narrowed his eyes and showed displeasure.

She didn't have her own teacher. Agamodha hated evil so much that he insisted on being incompatible with hell.

However, working with the devil of hell to harvest human souls sounds like something only an evil villain can do!

"It's impossible for Karma Taj to allow it! If hell creatures are allowed to enter the world, those three holy places will be nothing more than decorations and have no value in existing anymore."

Gu Yi shook his head and refused.

Luke came up with many ideas.

Some, she would agree with.

For example, the establishment and preparation of the Magical Congress went deeper into the secular world.

But some involve bottom-line issues, so agreement cannot be reached.

"Master Gu Yi, you misunderstood what I meant."

Luke also knew that it was simply a fantasy to think that Karma Taj and Hell, the Supreme Mage and the Great Devil could sit at the same table.

Even though the two sides are not completely opposing camps, there is little room for cooperation between them.

"The final destination of the human soul is either heaven or hell."

Luke stretched out his finger and traced the outline of the ten realms.

He had read relevant information in Kamathaj's library.

It was precisely because I had done my homework that I had the confidence to convince Gu Yi.

"Unlike in religious classics, you can enjoy blessings in heaven and suffer torture in hell. In fact, heaven and hell are just two vast dimensional worlds."

Gu Yi closed the wooden-handled fan, with curiosity in his eyes, as if he wanted to know what the other party was going to say.

"The soul is currency in circulation. This statement is true in all dimensions."

Luke clicked on the map of hell and said calmly: "Whether you go to heaven or go to hell, the essence is the same."

"The soul is a consumable and cannot be recycled. In other words, once a human dies, there is no possibility of reincarnation."

"In that case, what's the difference between harvesting souls in heaven and harvesting souls in hell?"

Ancient One clapped his palms twice to express his appreciation for Luke's long speech.

She raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled: "No wonder you and Mephisto get along well. Compared to humans, you are more like a devil and good at deceiving people."

"Is this a compliment?"

The corner of Luke's mouth twitched and he asked.

“A fair review.”

Ancient One said.

The two people in the room were silent for a moment.

The Supreme Mage sitting at the top then gave an answer to Luke's previous question.

"Heaven and Hell, Kamal Taj takes no sides."

"However, the forces represented by the two camps are light and dark, and Kamal Taj leans towards the former."

"The soul flowing into hell is indeed no different from ascending to heaven. They are both used as consumables to support the existence of the dimensional world."

"But one thing is that the devils and devils in hell are born to spread the seeds of chaos and evil."

"Although heaven is... hypocritical, angels still maintain the basic principles of justice and integrity."

Ancient One rejected Luke's idea, and Kama Taj also had a stand.

Between the black and white of heaven and hell, the Supreme Mage is obviously closer to the former.

"Then introduce the three major sanctuaries."

Luke didn't give up, he guessed Gu Yi's answer.

Cooperation is never so easy to achieve.

To put it bluntly, the image work of hell is still too poor and not as bright as the surface of heaven.

"Companies need to face regulatory agencies. The three major sanctuaries can shoulder this part of the responsibility and form a constraint on hell."

Like dividing a cake, Luke took the initiative to carve out a piece and sent it to the Supreme Mage.

"The rules and regulations are determined by Karma Taj. The hell group represented by Mephisto needs to play the game according to our rules, so that most problems can be avoided."

"As for the so-called 'harvesting of souls', it's just to stamp their final destination in advance."

"This does not constitute a sinful charge."

Luke, who held his head high and his chest high and upright, paused and then said: "Even Emperor Weishan will not refuse the soul he has obtained."

"And Kamal Taj can also benefit from it."

"For example, use those reserved souls to repay the cost of casting spells."

Gu Yi said nothing.

She is thinking.

Kamal Taj's interests must not be based on the suffering of innocent people.

This is the bottom line of the Supreme Mage.

Other than that, Ancient One doesn't have many rules that need to be followed.

About hell group, about soul currency.

She could see that Luke wanted to establish a strong and stable order through this.

The prospects are great, but whether it can be achieved remains unclear.

"Next time you talk to someone, don't talk about your interest relationship so nakedly."

Gu Yi closed his eyes and then opened one.

"Kama Taj will not cooperate with hell, but any behavior Mephisto makes in the human world will be supervised by the three sanctuaries."

"As for whether your plan to form the Hell Alliance is successful or not, what will be the consequences..."

Seeing the expression and attitude of the Supreme Mage, Luke understood and answered naturally: "I am responsible for it all."
