Chapter 89, Seven Cats' Adventure in Marvel (First Bonus Chapter)

"...According to the Holy Grail War 'Heroic Spirit Descent' system we got from the Type-Moon universe, each time we dreamt of another world, we were essentially drawing magic power from that world and projecting a virtual clone onto the adventurer, similar to the 'Spirit Summoning' spell in summoning magic. Our great demons and gods also descended upon the material plane in a similar way..."

Facing the letter in Firi's hand, which was filled with a list of alternative worlds, the silver dragon Miss Lulutia spoke eloquently, "...but there is a prerequisite for its application: the alternative world we go to must be a world with magic."

Generally speaking, the destination should at least be a low-magic world; of course, medium-magic and high-magic worlds are even more convenient. As for those worlds without magic or mana, this method won't work, because they can't draw mana from them to create clones.

As she spoke, she dipped a quill pen in ink and crossed out a series of non-magic worlds on the paper, including Highschool of the Dead, Gundam SEED, Fallout, Kabane of the Iron Fortress, Mass Effect, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Resident Evil, and Metro 2033.

"...Our neighbors in town want to see the skyscrapers, bright lights, cars, and airplanes of modern Earth this time. If we take them to some fantasy world similar to ours, or some remote, impoverished place on modern Earth, they'll probably be very disappointed."

Phil picked up another quill pen and crossed out medieval-themed titles such as *The Heroic Legend of Arslan*, *Pirates of the Caribbean*, *KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!*, *The Lord of the Rings*, *Goblin Slayer*, *Dark Souls*, and *The Elder Scrolls*, leaving only a few options.

"...In that case, let's go to the Marvel universe this time! The bustling streets of New York City will definitely amaze them!"

Silver Dragon Miss Lulutia finally made the final decision, deciding to go to the Marvel universe, "...I'll go to the most bustling and lively place and have as much fun as I want!"

After making the decision, Lulutia and Firi, the Totoro master and servant, lay down in their respective dens and entered the divine kingdom belonging to the goddess of sleep, Momo.

That wondrous space, composed of a vast, boundless void and countless floating islands, exuding a languid atmosphere.

—On a floating island here, six feline friends who had gone to sleep early had been waiting for a long time.

Around the floating island, there were even more onlookers, crowding together to watch the spectacle than when they last traveled through the Type-Moon world.

Next, the spacetime coordinates of the Marvel universe were determined. The dragon and the seven cats stepped onto their respective descent magic circles in turn, and then the teleportation began...

However, just as all the preliminary work was completed, the spacetime coordinates were determined, the eight transmigrators were in their positions, and Helena, the Dragon Sage in charge of the back-end operations, had completed the final adjustments to the interdimensional teleportation array and was just waiting for the magic circle to be activated, a sudden change occurred.

A young brass dragon, who looked no more than three hundred years old, stumbled over, shouting as it landed, "...Miss Lulutia! Miss Lulutia! Please wait a moment, don't teleport! I am Clark, the royal attendant, and His Majesty the King summons you immediately!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Distracted by the sudden appearance of the brass dragon, the journey of the dragon and seven cats to the Marvel world had to be put on hold.

Then, under the focused gaze of the onlookers in the Kingdom of Sleep, especially the disgruntled eyes of several elderly dragons, the poor young brass dragon trembled and almost shivered as he recounted the reason for the king's summons.

It turns out that Princess Catherine, the Golden Dragon, had just arrived in Totoro Town and had already gained the credit of "successfully organizing an interdimensional adventure." So, as soon as the little princess left the Type-Moon world, she excitedly returned to the capital, Thousand Sails City, to show off and claim credit to her father.

Then, the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, the legendary Golden Dragon "City Builder" Alaric Ingram, based on his daughter's exaggerated description, also became quite interested in the sudden appearance of "dreaming of another world," and immediately ordered the summons of the three initiators of this interdimensional adventure—the demigod Golden Dragon Harald, the silver dragon sage Helena, and Miss Lulutia, the guild master of the Totoro Town Adventurers' Guild.

The problem is that Clark, the brass dragon servant who was ordered to convey the king's decree, flew all the way to Totoro Town, only to find that the three dragons the king wanted to summon had already fallen into slumber and brought a group of cats to the kingdom of the sleeping god Momo, preparing to start the second sleepwalking interdimensional adventure!

As a result, he had no choice but to fall asleep on the spot and continue chasing the king to the kingdom of the god of sleep, where he announced the king's decree before the adventure team could set off.

—Truly a model of loyalty and dedication among dragons, and definitely an oddity among the generally goofy brass dragons.

Of course, no matter what, as a subject of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, King Alaric still had to be given face.

So, the demigod golden dragon Harald, the silver dragon sage Helena, and Miss Lulutia, the guild master of the Totoro Town Adventurers' Guild, all began preparing to "log off," go back to take a shower, change into a formal dress, and then head to the Kingdom of Thousand Sails to meet the king. As for the cats here…

"...This mission of taking them on an adventure to another world is entrusted to you. Remember to have fun in the Marvel universe!"

Regarding this matter, Lulutia simply gave Firi this instruction before "logging off" to meet the king.

—Okay, now that the dragons are gone, only Seven Cats are left to conquer Marvel.

Watching the woman disappear in an instant, and then looking back at the six little cats staring at her expectantly, Phil felt immense pressure.

—The top players and cheat codes are gone, but the responsibility of guiding newbies has been dumped on my shoulders. How am I supposed to get anything done like this?

You see, he originally planned to rely on his "immortality" (the player's ability to survive even death) and his silver dragon master to cause trouble in the Marvel universe, play pranks on superheroes and supervillains, show off, have fun, and set off some big explosions...

How should I put it? The more reserved and honest a person is, the more they want to make a big splash after holding it in for so long!

We run an adventurers' guild, after all, so how can we lose our never-say-die adventurous (and reckless) spirit?

Just like the adventurer's motto inscribed on the plaque of the Adventurers' Guild in Totoro Town—"...For an adventurer, the most terrifying thing is not failure, but losing the courage to explore the unknown. To dare to step into the unknown, and to transform all the gains and even failures into nourishment for one's own growth, isn't this the attitude an adventurer should have?"

Chapter 90, Let's Have Fun! (Second Update with Bounty)

But now that the female lead, who was supposed to be the golden thigh and cheat code, has run away, how can Phil dare to roam freely in the Marvel world full of powerful people?

Who knows, some unknown, third-rate folk hero might just come along and beat him to a pulp.

Sigh, with no one to provide the fighting force, I guess I'll just have to suppress my mischievous impulses and focus on running the otherworld travel agency. I'll just treat it as being a temporary tour guide, waving a little yellow flag and leading tour groups to see the streets of New York.

Feline sighed softly, thinking this, but then her heart suddenly tightened as she noticed an even more critical problem:

The three dragons responsible for researching the relevant spells have all left. Who will operate these magic circles that transport people to other worlds?

What the hell? Am I supposed to stay behind to manipulate and activate the magic circle, and then let those six cats go off to play in the Marvel universe?

Rather than doing that, we might as well postpone the schedule and wait until Lulutia returns from the capital!

Fortunately, things didn't escalate to such a tragic point—before logging off, the demigod golden dragon Harald sent a message to his former pet (the dormouse Mengmeng) and his current master, the eternally sleeping goddess Mengmeng.

Therefore, a moment later, Princess Mengmeng sent an adorable dormice girl clone to take over the position of Silver Dragon Sage Helena, responsible for operating the magical equipment to teleport Firi and the six cat people in Totoro Town to the Marvel world.

However, the Marvel universe is a vast area (not just including Earth, but encompassing the entire universe). In order to avoid being thrown into the arena on Sakaar (where Thor and Hulk fought), the destroyed planet Titan, or Thanos's (Thanos's) ship, where a few cats would die without consequence, Phil must discuss with the god of sleep who operates the magic circle beforehand to determine the time and place of his journey.

"...Um, Your Highness Mengmeng, this time when I traveled to the Marvel world, I didn't want to fight and kill. Instead, I wanted to take my neighbors on a trip to New York. So, could you please set the travel location to New York on Earth?"

After losing the support of the dragon, Phil lost the ability to "go all out when in doubt" and could only try to finish his job as a tour guide as cautiously as possible.

"...Ah, no problem at all." Dormouse Girl replied with a yawn, her voice perpetually half-awake and half-asleep.

"...Uh, also, to prevent everyone's health from being affected by excessive sleep, could you please adjust the time flow between the Marvel universe and our world, for example, to a ratio of 20:1 or 30:1, so that a month has passed on the other side while only a day has passed here, or something like that."

Also, if we could pinpoint the location precisely, could you send us to the United Nations headquarters in New York, and before the teleportation, send a message to the UN headquarters informing them that a group of people from another world are coming to visit, and asking them to prepare for their arrival…”

Seeing that His Highness the God of Sleep seemed easy to talk to, Phil couldn't help but change her mind and continued to press her advantage.

Seeing that there's no way to cause trouble on this trip to the Marvel world and all I can do is travel, how can a self-funded trip be as enjoyable as a publicly funded one?

If one could manage to obtain the status of an alien diplomatic representative, with the Marvel universe's government departments handling all the hospitality... then lavish meals at public expense, luxury hotels, and travel in luxury cars would be the bare minimum. And in the hotel room at night, there might even be "physical bribes" from beautiful women—even if one couldn't actually have sex due to not being fully developed, enjoying the soft, fragrant embrace of a beautiful woman wouldn't be bad!

Phil couldn't help but imagine the dreamlike scene of being kissed (￣︶￣)/hugs~rubbed~lifted up high by many beautiful young ladies.

"...The flow of time can be adjusted this time. But...the United Nations headquarters? What is that place? Where is it?"

Dormouse tilted her head curiously and asked in a very cute tone.

—As always, His Highness the Sleeping God's every move and word is still so adorable.

Hey, you're already this cute, why are you still playing the God of Sleep? Just switch to being the God of Cuteness!

Phil silently complained to himself, while at the same time feeling a bit of a headache about the problem with the God of Sleep.

"...The United Nations headquarters...well...how should I put it? It could be considered the highest governing body in that world, kind of like our...the Pantheon?" Phil said, somewhat troubled. "...As for the exact address, I can't really say!"

In fact, Phil did have some recollection of the United Nations headquarters building on First Avenue in Manhattan, New York. But the question is, whether the United Nations headquarters in the Marvel universe is still in the same location in real-world New York, or has moved elsewhere... only heaven knows.

Anyway, in the Marvel universe, the United Nations has never been an important place (laughs).

—In the real world, there's no Stark Industries headquarters in New York, just as there's no S.H.I.E.L.D. triangular building in Washington, D.C. Similarly, in the Marvel universe's New York, the United Nations headquarters might have a different location.

"...In short, please send the notification to the world's highest-ranking official over there!" Phil could only say in the end.

His Highness the God of Sleep nodded in agreement to the request, and soon announced that he had found the target and issued a notification.

So Phil, along with his six cat-like neighbors, happily stepped onto the teleportation array and set off for a trip to the Marvel universe.

However, the reality of this Marvel journey was probably not as smooth and easy as Phil had imagined.

Because there is a rather subtle difference in thinking between him and Hypnos regarding "who is the highest-ranking official in the Marvel universe".

According to Phil, the announcement about their upcoming arrival on Earth (the Earth in the Marvel universe) should be sent to the UN Secretary-General or the President of the World Security Council (S.H.I.E.L.D.'s direct superiors). If all else fails, sending the announcement to Nick Fury, that bald guy, would also work.

However, in the mind of Hypnos, a deity living in a magical world, the highest administrator or guardian of the Marvel universe doesn't seem to be S.H.I.E.L.D. or the United Nations, but rather... the Kamar-Taj Order led by the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme!

Therefore, she set the recipient of this announcement to be the Ancient One.

The message she sent to the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, using magic was straightforward and unadorned.

It's so simple that it can be summed up in just one sentence.

"...A bunch of kittens are coming to play over here!"

Chapter 91, The Ancient One: A Mysterious and Impressive Master (Third Update with Bounty)

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, on Earth, in Kathmandu, Nepal, at the southern foot of the Himalayas, lies the headquarters of the Secret Order, Kamar-Taj.

In Marvel comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the portrayals of the Ancient One and Kamar-Taj are completely different.

According to Marvel comics, the Ancient One is a Tibetan who has lived for over 500 years and possesses powerful magic. Kamar-Taj is a Tibetan village located on the northern slopes of the Himalayas, somewhat similar to a modern Buddhist academy of Lamaism, or a low-budget miniature version of the Potala Palace.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, seemingly due to the highly sensitive nature of the Tibet issue, Kamar-Taj was moved from the Tibetan Plateau north of the Himalayas to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, on the southern slopes of the Himalayas. The Ancient One was also transformed from a white-haired, long-bearded Tibetan elder into a bald Anglo-Saxon woman, seemingly the daughter of a British colonist who conquered India.

Of course, to accommodate the change in identity and gender, the Ancient One's age was reduced from over five hundred years old to two or three hundred. Furthermore, the Sorcerers Supreme before the Ancient One, especially the founder of Kamar-Taj, also disappeared from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Kamar-Taj, which was moved to Nepal, became the "Marvel version of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" personally established by the Ancient One.

—In other words, the current magic system in the Marvel Cinematic Universe only appeared around the time of the Qianlong Emperor… That’s pretty naive!

In comparison, not to mention Azeroth with its magical history spanning 20,000 to 30,000 years, the British magical world of Harry Potter, which has been passed down from the Greek and Roman era, or even the Japanese Onmyoji techniques in Onmyoji, they can all surpass the newcomer Kamar-Taj in terms of historical depth.

The short duration of its historical transmission leads to a lack of foundational knowledge, which in turn results in a deficiency in understanding. And magical practice, in particular, places great emphasis on the accumulation of knowledge. The time the Ancient One spent creating and practicing magic was far too brief.

Therefore, the level of magical research and application of the Kamar-Taj Order is considered very rudimentary and immature in the eyes of the powerful figures in the high-magic world. Although the Ancient One herself may have been very powerful, the power of one person alone cannot support a magical system.

Moreover, the Ancient One herself wasn't a good teacher, and her apprentices were all incredibly unreliable. Forget about collaborative effort in creating a magical system; they couldn't even master the basics the Ancient One taught them. Their skills were extremely limited, and despite a lifetime of hard training, they remained mere cannon fodder. Their fighting style, aside from drawing circles to open portals, basically consisted of conjuring two large swords with magic and then swinging them around in a wide arc.

In other words, the wizards in the Marvel universe are similar to Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings, following the melee combat style.

Of course, no matter how new Kamar-Taj is to the magical sanctuary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this English-speaking, white female version of the Ancient One remains the supreme guardian of the entire magical realm on Earth in the Marvel universe (movie version), equivalent to S.H.I.E.L.D. on the magical side.

For centuries, under the leadership of the Ancient One, Kamar-Taj has worked diligently, not only resisting numerous attempts by otherworldly beings to spy on Earth and holding off the invasion of Dormammu, the ruler of the dark dimension, but more importantly, preventing sorcerers from interfering with the mortal world.

—If the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, hadn't established the rule prohibiting sorcerers from having too much interaction with the secular world, the technological explosion and industrial revolution in the Marvel universe might never have happened, and human civilization might not have achieved the rapid development it has since the 19th century.

On the contrary, the entire Earth could very well become a caste society like India, ruled for generations by a small group of magician families, who would condemn all science as heresy and use every means to stifle progressive thought in humanity, ultimately leading to the stagnation of human civilization and even its slow demise...

The Marvel universe did not become an eternal magical version of the Middle Ages, thanks in large part to the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, and his self-discipline as a sorcerer.

However, while Kamar-Taj and S.H.I.E.L.D. may be comparable in terms of combat power and contributions to human civilization, Kamar-Taj, lacking financial acumen and resources for swindling funds, is far worse off than S.H.I.E.L.D., which can collect protection money from the entire world.

For example, the Ancient One's prized disciple, the round-faced Old Wang (definitely not the handsome Old Wang), holds a position in Kamar-Taj at least equivalent to Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D., yet he only receives 3 rupees (less than three dollars) a day for lunch (see the dialogue in Avengers: Infinity War)...

It is evident that, although both are bald, the Ancient One's financial resources seem to be far inferior to those of Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

(However, considering the standard of living in India, a daily lunch costing 200 rupees is definitely not considered poor.)

Since the Ancient One founded the Sorcerer's Guild in Kamar-Taj, she has used her unparalleled magical talent to deal with countless invasions of Earth by otherworldly demons and quell countless conflicts and upheavals.

However, as the years went by, in the endless competition and struggle, she gradually began to feel exhausted.

—In order to maintain her extraordinary lifespan and powerful magic, the Ancient One had to draw power from the Dark Dimension and use it for her own purposes.

However, the power of the Dark Dimension is not something that ordinary mortals can easily dabble in. While these malevolent forces did extend the Ancient One's lifespan, they also continuously eroded her body and soul.

With her own formidable strength and superb skills, the Ancient One is currently able to suppress the side effects of these evil forces while utilizing the power of the Dark Dimension. However, as time goes by and her soul ages, she is beginning to feel increasingly powerless.

If this trend continues without being curbed or reversed, her ultimate fate will likely be to fall into demonic possession.

However, at that very moment, she suddenly received a strange, nonsensical announcement from the endless void:

"...A bunch of kittens are coming to play over here!"

This couldn't help but arouse great suspicion in the usually deep-thinking Ancient One...

Chapter 92, Cats in New York (4000 words in two combined chapters)

"...A bunch of kittens are coming to play over here!"

This magical communication, with its inexplicable origin and nonsensical content, has become the Ancient One's biggest problem recently.

Although at first glance it sounds like a cute little girl's greeting, in the eyes of the experienced Ancient One, it was not so simple.
