It is actually quite simple for Superman to enhance his strength.
Theoretically speaking, as long as he turns around and rushes into the Sun, soaking in it for a few centuries, he would emerge as the invincible Superman Prime One Million.
But that is only in theory.
In reality, if he were really left motionless to soak in the Sun for a few centuries, he would probably go crazy first.
Forget it, let’s figure out who the enemy is first.
Perhaps it hasn’t reached that extent yet?
Peter looked at the Ancient One, preparing to speak.
However, as if anticipating his question, the Ancient One decisively interrupted his words: “I know what you want to ask, but I cannot tell you what we ultimately saw, and even whether I saw anything at all, I cannot say.”
Well, the old riddle-maker mode has been activated.
Peter was somewhat speechless.
These magic users are the most annoying.
Sometimes they are very nice to you, and helping you out is just a matter of a single sentence.
Other times, they speak in endless riddles, as if revealing anything would bring down heavenly wrath.
The Ancient One is like this, and Strange is too.
Truly worthy of being master and disciple.
“Fine, then do you have any solutions, Master?” Since she was unwilling to talk, Peter had no choice; after all, he couldn’t directly resort to armed coercion, could he?
Whether he could beat her was one thing, and even if he did, she might not necessarily talk, and what she said might not necessarily be true.
Furthermore, once the Marvel Universe involves certain secretive domains, some indescribable situations might indeed arise.
Therefore, it is not entirely incomprehensible.
After all, the more one says, the more mistakes one makes; revealing too many future possibilities would increase uncontrollability.
“The solution is right in your head,” the Ancient One extended her finger and tapped her head.
“My head?” Peter was somewhat puzzled.
What does this have to do with his head?
“This is related to certain operational rules in the Universe… Forget it, I’d better send you to a place. Countless knowledge, magic, and other things regarded as taboos or forgotten are recorded there. Perhaps you can find the answer there,” said the Ancient One.
“You wouldn’t be talking about Cagliostro’s Lost Library, would you?” Peter suddenly understood. Find the original chapter at g.com.
Cagliostro was one of the most powerful magicians on Earth in the 18th century of the Marvel Universe, proficient in the knowledge of the Darkhold.
The Book of Cagliostro, falsely created by the arch-sorcerer Sise-Neg, was based primarily on him, recording Cagliostro’s life and a vast amount of mystical knowledge including black magic.
In the movie Doctor Strange, Kaecilius possesses this book.
However, if he remembered correctly, this Lost Library had never appeared in the comics—at least not in the comic content Peter read before transmigrating.
Of course, it was also possible that he had forgotten.
But he remembered that this library had appeared in the What If…?
series.
This was precisely where Dark Strange was born!
In a certain Universe, in order to save his girlfriend Christine, Strange continuously retraced the timeline.
However, his girlfriend’s car accident was the absolute point in time from when Strange went from being a Doctor to the Sorcerer Supreme, so no matter what he did, he could not save Christine.
In the end, he split; one let go of the past and became White Strange, while the other secretly found a way to become Dark Strange.
Dark Strange went to the Lost Library, practiced diligently inside, devoured countless dimensional demons, and finally became a multiverse-level entity.
Looking across all Stranges, Dark Strange’s strength was also capable of ranking near the top.
He wondered if he went over, whether he would run into Dark Strange.
Right, the allies he wanted to find…
didn’t Dark Strange fit the criteria?
Could it be that the Ancient One even saw this and deliberately guided him there?
Peter was lost in thought.
Upon hearing Peter’s words, the Ancient One gave him a deep look: “As expected, you know…”
Peter smiled mysteriously, similarly giving her a deep look, and revealed a meaningful smile: “No, I don’t know…”
Ancient One:…
“No, you indeed know some, it’s just that it might not be comprehensive enough,” the Ancient One asserted.
“However, that is fine too; sending you over makes me even more at ease.”
This time it was Peter’s turn to be speechless.
To be honest, it wasn’t wrong for him to say he didn’t know.
After all, what he knew was only what he saw on TV before his transmigration. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
But his experiences during this period of transmigrating into the Marvel Universe told him that the things he saw in movies and comics could only serve as a setting for reference, but could never truly be regarded as facts.
Because reality is ever-changing, and many things will undergo changes.
For instance, the Soul Stone was indeed obtained, but the person who died changed from Black Widow to Hawkeye.
For instance, Endgame was indeed a victory, but it relied not on the sacrifice of Iron Man, but on his overwhelming strength.
For another instance, the six borrowed infinity stones were indeed returned, but the person who returned them was him instead of Captain America.
The latter two matters could still be explained by the butterfly effect of him being a transmigrator, but the first matter was completely unexplainable.
That even happened before his transmigration!
Coming back to the point, he was quite interested in this Lost Library.
Superman has low magic resistance, so he could just learn magic to make up for it!
Are you going to say Superman can’t learn magic?
But besides being Superman, he is also Spider-Man!
As Marvel’s favorite son, among the many Spider-Man variants in the Multiverse, there is indeed a Sorcerer Supreme Spider-Man!
There is also the spell-casting Spider-Man—British Spider-Man.
Therefore, wanting to learn spells was truly not a whimsical fantasy.
If he could learn a few useful spells from the Lost Library to make up for the Superman Bloodline’s deficiency in magic resistance, that would be immensely useful to him.
“Fine then, when am I going over?” Peter was also somewhat eager.
“Wait for me a moment; the library’s location is special, and ordinary magic circles cannot reach there. I need some preparation time.”
Finishing her words, the Ancient One turned around and entered the interior of the New York Sanctum Sanctorum.
After quite a while, she walked out again, holding two things in her hand.
However, she did not hand them to Peter immediately; instead, she said to him with a solemn expression: “Before you go, I must remind you that within that library exist many taboo contents, such as contents related to the Dark Dimension, taboo magic, and some knowledge involving the basic operational rules of the Universe. Just look at them, at most keep them in your mind, but after leaving that place, unless absolutely necessary, absolutely, absolutely do not use them in the real dimension!”
“Otherwise, it will inevitably bring about unimaginable consequences!”
Feeling the solemnity in her tone, Peter also nodded heavily.
Only then did the Ancient One hand the two things in her hand to him.
Peter took them and looked: one was a necklace that looked a bit like the [Eye of Agamotto], and the other was a special piece of paper drawn with Strange patterns and feeling somewhat special in texture.
Pointing at the paper drawn with patterns, the Ancient One said: “This is a one-way teleportation magic circle. After tearing the corner, the spell energy sealed inside will be activated, teleporting you to the Lost Library.”
