He originally thought he would have to explain more, but unexpectedly, after Ancient One finished listening to his words, she just nodded thoughtfully and did not continue to dwell on this issue.
This made Peter let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
He actually wasn’t sure whether his current self could really beat Ancient One.
After all, people always say that Superman has low “magic resistance”, and Ancient One is one of the top-ranked existences in terms of spell cultivation among mortals in the Marvel Universe.
However, Little Spider’s magic resistance seemed to be quite high after all.
MCU Spider-Man could bounce back Jean’s mind control; although that Jean was still in her infancy stage, this was already very awesome, as Hulk was controlled to the point of having zero ability to resist at all.
Spider-Man from the Zombie Universe was also the only zombie hero who recovered his sanity on his own.
The original Tobey Spider-Man could wear Venom like clothing.
Spider-Man from the Ultimate Universe could be immune to Vampire viruses and so on.
However, even so, before actually fighting, he was still not sure.
Anyway, of course it was still better not to fight if he could avoid it.
Peter first returned the time stone to Ancient One.
Watching him pinch the time stone directly with his fingers, Ancient One’s mouth twitched slightly.
She took the stone and placed it back into the Eye of Agamotto.
“Sorcerer, besides returning the stone this time, I also have something I want to consult you about,” Peter said.
Ancient One nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
Thus, Peter told Ancient One about the matter regarding the demonized virus.
“Oh right, Stephen also had me bring this to you.”
As he spoke, Peter took out a book, turned it to a certain page, and handed it to Ancient One.
This book was the one Strange saw in the library of Kamar-Taj, which likely recorded the demonized virus.
Ancient One took the book and glanced at it, and her expression instantly became serious.
“World-Destroying Virus…”
“The things recorded on this are very similar to the manifestations of the demonized virus, but unfortunately the content is too little, so I wanted to ask if you, Sorcerer, know anything about it, or if there is any solution.”
Ancient One glanced at the contents of the ancient book once more, then closed the pages and handed it back to Peter: “When Banner came, I already told him that this kind of behavior of yours is extremely dangerous.”
If one cast aside the sensory halo additions of protagonists like Iron Man and Captain America, the time hijacking plan was actually a very selfish plan to begin with.
In the original work, Ancient One had already said that the six infinity stones are the foundation of every Universe.
If even one is lost, the reality dimension could lose its balance, thus causing various issues.
Moreover, during the process of returning from the future, they themselves also produced some irreversible impacts.
For instance, the Aether Particle inside female Thor Jane’s body was extracted and turned into the Reality Stone.
Afterwards, naturally, there was no way to restore it back to the fluid state of the Aether Particle.
When Peter came to return it, he could only place it beside Jane.
Presumably, Captain America did the same when he came back to return it in the original work.
This deviated from the plot of Thor 2.
The most serious thing was that when seizing the space stone, due to an accident, the Tesseract holding the space stone was taken away by Loki.
Loki used the Tesseract to leave directly, causing the plot trajectory to completely collapse.
Ever since, a derivative Universe with a completely different outcome emerged, and finally, the spin-off series Loki appeared.
As for the consequence of this derivative Universe, because it affected the Sacred Timeline, it was directly pruned by the Time Variance Authority.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, the time hijacking plan was gambling one’s own fate with the safety and well-being of six other parallel Universes.
If not for Iron Man’s sacrifice, and the following Thanos snapping that finger, not only would the main Universe be destroyed, but the other six Universes would also suffer a devastating catastrophe!
However, saying anything now is useless, since things have already developed to this point.
What they could do was try their best to solve the problem.
“Things have come to this, let me first confirm what this actually is,” Ancient One’s hands transformed two magic circles, the Eye of Agamotto hanging on her chest began to rotate slowly, and her entire body floated up cross-legged along with it, “During this period, don’t let anyone disturb me.”
Peter suddenly understood.
It seemed Ancient One was also going to cast the “Head-Shaking Great Technique”.
Oh no, it was the Shake-Bald-Head Great Technique.
Without any accidents, what Ancient One was using right now was the skill Strange used back then on Titan in Avengers 3, utilizing the time stone to view future visions.
However, to Peter’s disappointment, Ancient One did not perform the “Shake-Bald-Head Great Technique”.
After entering this state, her figure seemed to have entered a virtualized state, instantly appearing as numerous overlapping Ancient Ones, and instantly returning to just one. The source of this chapter is novelping(.)com.
It looked much more elegant than Strange.
This is more like what a Sorcerer Supreme should look like.
During this period, Peter directly unfolded his Superman Field, enveloping the entire New York Sanctum Sanctorum to prevent any blind-eyed fellows from disturbing them.
As for taking action, that was unnecessary.
Traveling to the past was already a bit troublesome; if he were to rashly alter the plot, it would only bring about more trouble.
Besides, the original plot was already a good ending, and there was no need to change it.
After a while, Ancient One finally withdrew from that illusory state.
“How is it, Sorcerer, is there any result?” Peter hurriedly asked.
Ancient One descended, her legs standing on the ground, her head tilted slightly backward, closing her eyes in silence for a moment.
Only then did she open her eyes once more, looking at Peter with a gaze filled with wisdom and a hint of solemnity.
“Very bad, even worse than imagined.”
“It’s in chaos, at least 5% of the entire multiverse is already in a state of chaos!”
Peter scratched his head, feeling somewhat puzzled by Ancient One’s phrasing.
Ancient One looked slightly helpless and popularized some knowledge for Peter: “Do you know how many Universes there are?”
Peter shook his head.
Even if someone had read the comics, they wouldn’t know this kind of thing.
Ancient One said: “The Universe has ten integer dimensions, and our World is located in the third integer dimension, also known as the reality dimension.”
“However, between the second integer dimension and the reality dimension, as well as between the reality dimension and the fourth integer dimension, there also exist many non-integer dimensions.”
“Among them, the Dark Dimension is the most famous non-integer dimension, being a collection of multiple non-integer dimensions.”
“This belongs to the vertical worldview.”
“This Universe is multifaceted; like the Universe where you are located, it is a Sacred Timeline.”
“But if some accident occurs, it is possible to split a new timeline from the Sacred Timeline, which is the derivative Universe of the Universe where you are located.”
“Every accident will give birth to a derivative Universe.”
“Some derivative Universes will perish, while others will become a new individual after developing for a period of time, which are numbered Universes.”
