Marvel: Starting with mastering the Dark Book

Jiang Yu frowned, and magical runes appeared on his hands.

Push both hands forward.

The ripples that surged from the ground pushed back towards the Ancient One.

Within the mirror space he created, Jiang Yu was even able to reflect the attacks he launched using the space.

The magical runes reassembled, and the power of various dimensions was mobilized and fused by the Ancient One.

The moment the hands were clasped together, the floor, which had been surging like waves, returned to its original state.

At this moment, Gu Yi looked at Jiang Yu with an expression of admiration on his face.

Jiang Yu is now fully capable of serving as the Supreme Mage.

In the brief moment of Gu Yi's daze.

The dimensional portal opened again, and four smaller portals appeared around her, followed by four magical longswords landing on the ground.

While the Ancient One was still wondering about the obvious deviations in the magical swords' attacks, she was still looking at them.

Magical patterns emerged from the four magical longswords.

The Ancient One was stunned when she saw these magical patterns.

Because this is a defensive barrier magic!

The next second, four longswords emitted light, and a beam of light shot straight up into the sky above the mirror space.

Gu Yi looked at the barrier that had formed around him, and for a moment he didn't know how to express the shock he felt.

Barrier magic can actually be used like this?

It's a pity that the Ancient One didn't watch Naruto, otherwise she would have understood that a magical version of the Four Red Flame Formation wasn't actually that surprising.

All it takes is a clever combination of dimensional portals, energy constructs, and barrier magic.

However, ordinary people probably cannot create such a complex magical structure.

For Jiang Yu, who possesses the Eye of Truth, it's as simple as eating and drinking.

"So, you just intend to trap me?"

Ancient One smiled.

Jiang Yu grinned as well, "Of course it's not just that!"

Gu Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She felt her connection to the various dimensions was weakening; this was not just a barrier, but a closed, independent dimensional space.

Just like how she used the Eye of Agamotto to seal Jiang Yu in an independent dimension.

This pillar of light can be seen as an independent dimension, a dimension constructed by Jiang Yu, and its powerful reality manipulation magic makes it completely impossible for the Ancient One to alter or break it.

unless!

Invoke the power of the Dark Dimension.

It is easy to seal off the power of other dimensions, but it is almost impossible to seal off the dark dimension.

As Gu Yi looked at Jiang Yu, a dimensional portal suddenly opened, and Jiang Yu reached out and grabbed the Eye of Agamotto from Gu Yi's chest.

The next second, they snatched the Eye of Agamotto.

Gu Yi was taken aback. Jiang Yu was actually able to touch the Eye of Agamotto. Without the incantation, Jiang Yu should not have been able to touch it.

However, when she tried to open a dimensional portal to leave, she found that it didn't seem to work.

"Which dimension's rules I modified? Although it shouldn't be difficult for you to crack, it will still take a little time."

Jiang Yu looked at the Eye of Agamotto in front of him.

The Time Stone.

If I don't snatch this thing, my magical version of the Four Crimson Flames Array will probably be broken in the next second.

Because they cannot draw upon the power of other dimensions, apart from the Dark Dimension and powers similar to the Infinity Stones, nothing else can break through their Four Crimson Flame Barrier.

However, Gu Yi did not rush out but looked at Jiang Yu.

"How do you know the incantation about the Eye of Agamotto!"

This question was also difficult to answer. Jiang Yu sighed, "Anyway, I already know. Teacher, you didn't necessarily have to ask!"

After saying that, Jiang Yu put on the Eye of Agamotto and made an opening gesture.

The Eye of Agamotto slowly opened.

At this moment, Jiang Yu was looking at the Time Stone.

'Is this the power of the Time Stone?'

Chapter 8 The Power of Time

Within the mirror dimension, the magical version of the "Four Crimson Flames Array" constructed by Jiang Yu soared into the sky, completely isolating this space.

Within the barrier, the Ancient One's expression was more solemn than ever before. She could feel that her connection with all dimensions outside the barrier had been greatly weakened, except for the Dark Dimension.

Outside the barrier, Jiang Yu looked down at the Eye of Agamotto in his hand.

As the incantation is chanted and specific hand gestures are performed.

The metallic eyelids slowly opened, revealing the dazzling eye within.

A gemstone that emits a soft green light.

Time gem!

The river of time flowed before Jiang Yu.

past.

just now.

future.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath, his mind highly focused, and the Eye of Truth was activated to its limit at this moment.

“So that’s how it is… Time isn’t linear, but a dimension that can be distorted, folded, or even reversed…” Jiang Yu murmured to himself.

The Eye of Truth frantically analyzed the information about the laws emanating from the Time Stone, transforming this knowledge, which was as unfathomable as a heavenly book to mortals, into a form that Jiang Yu could understand and absorb.

[You are experiencing the wonders of the Time Stone; your proficiency in Reality Manipulation Magic has increased by 1000.]

[You have grasped the mysteries of time magic; your proficiency in reality manipulation magic has increased by 1000.]

【you……】

Gradually, miraculous changes began to occur within Jiang Yu's body.

A magical pattern, emitting a faint green light and resembling a seed, quietly took shape deep within Jiang Yu's soul.

You have grasped the mystery of time and successfully condensed the Seed of Time within your body.

It shares a similar effect with Wanda's chaotic magic, which is capable of distorting reality.

Wanda's power can simulate some of the power of the Reality Stone, while the Seed of Time that Jiang Yu is currently condensing grants him some of the abilities of time magic.

Although this power is far less powerful than the real Time Stone, it cannot freely travel through the river of time.

But it allowed Jiang Yu to seemingly influence the fluctuations of time around him.

The moment the Seed of Time took shape, the Ancient One inside the barrier suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Gu Yi sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar fluctuation in time, originating from Jiang Yu outside the barrier!

"He...he actually analyzed the power of the Time Stone? And he succeeded?!" A huge wave of shock surged through the Ancient One's mind.

This was beyond her comprehension. The Eye of Agamotto had been handled by countless Sorcerers, and no one had ever dared or been able to do this.

This can't be described as genius; this is simply monster!

If Jiang Yu is allowed to continue his research like this, no one knows what terrible consequences might occur.

Jiang Yu, who is uncorrupted by the Dark Book and can control the power of time, may be a more uncertain threat to the entire multiverse than Dormammu.

"Yu, stop right now!" Gu Yi's gentle expression vanished.

The true Sorcerer Supreme is no joke.

A pure golden magical energy gathered in her hand, but the next second...

Strands and strands of deep, ominous purple patterns seeped out from the void, entwining with the golden energy.

This is power from the dark dimension!

In order to protect Earth, the Ancient One borrowed the power of the Dark Dimension from Dormammu to extend her lifespan.

But at this moment, in order to stop Jiang Yu, to retrieve the Time Stone, and to break through this damned barrier.

boom! ! !

A destructive torrent of golden and purple energy suddenly erupted, slamming violently into the pillar of light barrier.

Jiang Yu's meticulously constructed barrier was weakened by this attack, which combined the power of the Supreme Mage with the power of the Dark Dimension.

It trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface.

It lasted only a few seconds before shattering completely with a crisp roar!

The powerful shockwave shattered the buildings in the mirror dimension, and the Ancient One's figure, carrying an unparalleled aura, instantly crossed space and appeared in front of Jiang Yu.

Her eyes were cold.

"Give it back to me!" the Ancient One shouted, her magical folding fans reappearing, her attack several times more ferocious than before.

Jiang Yu smiled slightly, took the Eye of Agamotto off his neck, and held it in his palm.

"Teacher, please don't get so agitated."

He had already achieved his goal and didn't really want to fight the Ancient One to the death.

The reason for stealing the Eye of Agamotto was simply to experience the power of the Time Stone up close.

However, no one expected that the Seed of Time would be condensed unexpectedly.

It seems that Jiang Ye has not yet fully developed the power of the Eye of Truth.

However, the Ancient One's attacks did not stop there.

But the next second, Jiang Yu seemed to want to try out the feeling of his new power, and the Seed of Time in his soul emitted a green light!

From the Ancient One's perspective, Jiang Yu's movements seemed to pause strangely.

In that fleeting pause, Jiang Yu's figure had already easily floated back several meters, just managing to dodge her attack.

Gu Yi's pupils contracted sharply. She knew that it wasn't that Jiang Yu's speed had increased, but rather that her own time had been slowed down in an extremely subtle way!

"you……"

"Teacher, as I said, I just wanted to do some research."

Jiang Yu shrugged, a relaxed smile on his face.

"If I really wanted to take it, do you think you could have broken my barrier so easily just now?"

Gu Yi stopped attacking, her complicated gaze falling on Jiang Yu.

She slowly extended her hand, and Jiang Yu cooperated by handing over the Eye of Agamotto.

As she put the Eye of Agamotto back on her chest, the Ancient One's unease only intensified.

The disciple before her had grown to a level she could never have predicted.

"What did you just do?"

Gu Yi stared intently at Jiang Ye, as if trying to see right through him.

Unfortunately, at least the current Gu Yi can't do that anymore.

Jiang Yu's lips curled up slightly. "Teacher, the power of time is truly wonderful. I never imagined that time could be controlled in this way!"

Upon hearing this, the Ancient One frowned and gently touched the Eye of Agamotto on her chest.

If she wasn't mistaken, Jiang Yu hadn't used the power of the Time Stone at all.
