If this admission were to become public, it would truly be the laughingstock of the world. Who was the Ancient One? The renowned Sorcerer Supreme! Thanos, who had been lurking in outer space and coveting the Infinity Stones on Earth, didn't dare to invade the planet, the symbolic center of the Nine Realms, until after the deaths of both Odin and the Ancient One. But here she was, in front of an unknown young man, saying, "I am not as good as you."
Aaron played with his long fingers in a bored manner, raising one to make a point.
"Your life was stolen from another Mephisto; you can't sustain it now."
The Ancient One's face showed a flicker of surprise, but then quickly returned to normal. "As expected of a master of darkness, you can see through my essence at a glance..."
With that, the Ancient One produced a parchment book that radiated a hideous dark power.
"This is the Book of Cagliostro, left in the human world by Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aaron took the book into his hands.
"Don't open it!"
Before the Ancient One could react, Aaron opened it directly.
Hmm... ancient text... I don't understand.
But Aaron didn't say these words out loud; it would have been too undignified. The book was written in ancient demonic language that could only be deciphered by the chosen few of this world. The woman in front of him, having acquired such power, had already transcended the limits of a human. In the context of this world, she was a hidden god.
"Is the aura on it the Mephisto you mentioned?"
Aaron was suddenly interested in the owner of the book. After all, this extra-dimensional Mephisto was also a master of dark forces, just like himself. And the saying "a mountain cannot have two tigers" came to mind. Aaron was now intrigued by Dormammu.
"Yes, his name is Dormammu..."
Aaron radiated a strong fighting spirit toward Dormammu. The Ancient One seemed to be looking at an entity of the same caliber as herself. Does this person have the ability of a "Celestial Father"? The level of a Celestial Father is equivalent to the main god of a planet. The extreme darkness Aaron released in that moment seemed to meet, or even surpass, that standard.
It seems I've found a true master today.
The Ancient One was old, and her desire for life and power had significantly suppressed her original abilities. If she continued to absorb energy from the Dark Dimension, she would eventually become Dormammu's puppet. So now, she needed someone else to protect the world in her place, and the man in front of her was her best choice.
"Ancient One, summon him." Aaron finally put the book down and looked at her with cold eyes. "I want to see what this Mephisto, who has mastered the power of darkness, looks like!"
"Huh?" The Ancient One was taken aback. "Mr. Aaron, we can't summon him here. The seal energy in the New York Sanctum is too weak. If he breaks the seal, it will bring an endless crisis to the world!"
"Then we'll go to your Kamar-Taj..."
Aaron's figure vanished from her sight.
"????"
The Ancient One was stunned! This man, his speed!
Before she could even react, she felt a disturbance in the magical circle she had placed over Kamar-Taj. So fast? She needed to use her Sling Ring to open a portal, but this man's speed...
She reluctantly opened a red portal, but before it was even fully open, she felt a powerful pressure coming from the other side.
"Mordo! Stop!!!"
Aaron had arrived at Kamar-Taj first but hadn't yet entered the building. Suddenly, a fireball appeared right in front of him. In that same direction, someone cast a Mirror Dimension spell toward him. If he hadn't known the Ancient One was still in New York, he would have thought it was a trap set by her.
But it wasn't.
"Hmph! Who are you!"
With Aaron's cold snort, the Mirror Dimension shattered like a fragile mirror. On the ground of Kamar-Taj, a bald magician didn't back down. He immediately used his Sling Ring to cast a variety of high-level spells at Aaron.
Unfortunately, none of them hit him. It was as if a demon had suddenly appeared, a demon he couldn't possibly handle.
"I found you," the black magician suddenly heard a whisper. The figure in the sky vanished from the range of his magical lock.
"Ice Shard!"
Suddenly, four magical circles appeared above, in front of, behind, and below Aaron. Then, two more appeared on either side of his body. Green plants emerged, blocking his path. From the other magical circles, several chilling ice spikes shot out.
"Mordo! Stop!!!" The Ancient One's voice had not yet faded.
Aaron grinned. "So your name is Mordo..."
A strange light appeared in his light-blue eyes, and Mordo's body instantly froze.
"You are very lucky; I will remember you."
It seemed that everyone whose name was remembered by Hades, the King of the Underworld, was destined to die. Mordo died, inexplicably.
When the Ancient One arrived, Mordo's body was already disintegrating. In her eyes, Aaron hadn't even made a move.
