Chapter 51: Kamar-Taj! Ned's Talent!
Green Scar Hulk only wanted to determine a victor with Sentinel, and during the battle, he was still distracted protecting ordinary people who were affected. So, it's unknown who among them is the strongest, but their potential is certainly limitless! Hulk has the opportunity to unleash infinite potential and grow, while Sentinel needs to resolve the Void to unleash infinite potential.
"You can go find him and invite him to join us, but don't be too eager to clash with him! There are still people on Earth who can restrain him now."
"Someone can restrain him? Who else is stronger than him?"
"The Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj: Ancient One, but it's not her, it's Vishanti behind her! Knowing too much now won't do you any good. Sentinel won't lose control and destroy Earth for now! First, get the Illuminati Base ready, then invite members to join!"
"Sorcerer Supreme? Alright… Perhaps our first action should be to help me solve my palladium poisoning problem! Otherwise, I might not live long."
"There will be a way…"
After a moment of thought, Jiang Bai instructed Tony, mainly fearing that Tony's sharp tongue and arrogant personality would lead to a conflict if he found Sentinel. To reassure Tony, he also informed him about the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One! However, the current Ancient One cannot restrain or deal with Sentinel.
Even if she possesses the Time Stone, her chances of winning are not great when energy reaches a certain peak. Time and space will lose meaning, and Ancient One only uses time, she does not control time! Only Vishanti, behind Kamar-Taj, can truly suppress and fight Sentinel.
With Sentinel's appearance, Ancient One likely already had contact with him, and perhaps even helped him suppress the Void! Otherwise, with such an unstable factor that could destroy the entire Earth at any time, Ancient One would certainly pay close attention. This is also why Jiang Bai is not worried about Sentinel losing control for the time being.
He asked Tony to set up the Illuminati Base first, which would be simple with his financial resources, it just required site selection! After hearing Jiang Bai's instructions and explanation, Tony nodded, looking at Jiang Bai with surprise. He hadn't expected Jiang Bai to know so much.
If it weren't for Jiang Bai, he might not even know that person's codename, let alone their real name! Then Tony jokingly brought up his palladium poisoning problem. Jiang Bai nodded, still not telling him about the new element.
He planned to tell Tony when he was at his wit's end, partly to make Tony owe him another favor, and partly to make Tony gain a deeper understanding of life and change because of this incident, transforming him from a playboy into a superhero.
Earth must be protected. Although he is a transmigrator, Earth is also where he lives, equivalent to his home! He naturally wouldn't let others destroy his home, which is also why Jiang Bai agreed to form the Illuminati with Tony.
Not long after, a gold and red armor soared from Jiang Bai's Villa, flying towards his own Villa! This scene was also witnessed by some Agents nearby, who then reported it to Nick Fury! Yes, even though he couldn't enter Jiang Bai's Villa, he still dispatched Agents to monitor from a distance.
"Jarvis, create a file called: Illuminati! This file is my private file and will not be uploaded to Stark Industries' information network. Also, find a hidden location suitable for building an underground Base!"
[Okay, sir! Several farms near the coast in the New York suburbs are suitable for building an underground Base. These farms can be used as cover! Do you need to acquire these farms?]
"Show me the holographic terrain and images, I want to see them!"
[Okay, sir!]
"Alright, this location. Acquire these farms in the name of Stark Industries!"
...
After Tony left the Villa, he began to consider who would be beneficial to him and the organization if they joined the Illuminati, and he quickly thought of one person. That was Black Panther of Wakanda! In this situation, T'Chaka should still be the King of Wakanda, and T'Challa is not yet the King of Wakanda.
In that case, the other party is very likely not to join the Illuminati. Wakanda's technology surpasses that of other countries by hundreds of years, and they might even easily deal with Titans. If that's the case, the other party might indeed look down on the newly formed Illuminati.
Because of this, he could only temporarily put aside the idea of inviting the next Black Panther, T'Challa. However, the future Stephen Strange and Thor seem like they could be invited to join! But it's still too early for now. Thinking of Stephen Strange made Jiang Bai's expression very strange.
Because Ancient One once said that Stephen Strange had the strongest magic talent in a thousand years and would surpass her in the future. However, in one Spider-Man timeline, a small chubby boy named Ned Leeds, who was with Peter Parker! In that timeline, he used Stephen Strange's Sling Ring and with a casual wave following his gesture, sparks of a portal appeared in the air.
Later, he even opened a portal using the Sling Ring without chanting any spells, and it was a portal to other parallel Universes! When Stephen Strange first learned portal magic using the Sling Ring, Ancient One threw him into a snowy mountain, and he almost couldn't come back.
But he took much longer than Ned, which made Jiang Bai start to wonder if Ancient One was wrong? Compared to the two, isn't Ned's talent stronger? Perhaps there's a destiny in the unseen; it was Stephen Strange who appeared in the timeline, not Ned Leeds.
He is quite optimistic about Ned Leeds; such a magic genius, if Ancient One doesn't want him. He wouldn't mind taking Ned Leeds under his wing. As for magic, Kamar-Taj is not the only place in this World that practices magic; even the Black King of the former Hellfire Club knew magic.
To be precise, it was sorcery; the form and name were different, but the essence was no different. Both are performed by borrowing power from other Dimension Demon Gods or one's own strength. This is also why the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are called close-combat sorcerers.
That is because their magic power cannot support them in using magic recklessly, and borrowing power from other Dimension Demon Gods requires a price. Not every sorcerer can be like Ancient One, using her background and the Time Stone as a deadbeat.
But some people are willing to lend it to her, even Dormammu, the master of the Dark Dimension, who constantly wishes to invade the real World, is like this! If Ancient One were to be corrupted and lured by his Dark Energy.
