NOVEL WEB Chapter 79: Chapter 79
Sylvie rolled her beautiful white eyes at Kurohane, then gently set down her teacup. She stepped through the portal and into the Mirror Dimension, a pair of eyes staring intently at Kurohane, eager to see if he was a man of his word.
Bang—!
A sharp shot exploded directly in front of Sylvie's forehead. Her tough Frost Giant skull withstood the bullet, yet her smooth skin was still blackened on half her face by the sprayed gunpowder and hot air, and her entire body fell backward, landing on the ground with a dull "thump"!
Even the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, hadn't expected Kurohane to actually fire, and his movements were fluid and incredibly fast. There was no action of drawing a gun at all, he simply raised his hand, and then a pistol appeared in it!
Kurohane didn't even look at the fallen Sylvie, but stared at his weapon with a pained expression!
It missed!!!
The weapon that had accompanied him all the way from the Middle East back to the United States had actually missed today!
Sylvie rose from the ground with a graceful carp leap. Since the pistol wasn't fully functional, the original bullet's power wasn't great, and coupled with the physical differences among humans, she grabbed Kurohane's collar, her small face smudged dark. "What's wrong with you? Why did you shoot without saying a word!"
Kurohane had just stowed the misfiring pistol into his Space Ring, then pulled out another, immediately aimed it at Sylvie's forehead, and clicked off the safety with his finger!
"I won't ask about anything else, I'll only ask about the device that can open a portal with the Cosmic Cube, how did that thing get to the top of Stark Tower? Why were you standing next to the Cosmic Cube? Give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll shoot you again!"
Sylvie: (shocked).
"I'm telling you, it was due to the influence of the Space Stone's energy, when I came to this world, I appeared right above Stark Tower," Sylvie replied, her eyes wide. "How that device got up there, I don't know! What do you think of that explanation?"
Sylvie's large eyes blinked, and the hand gripping Kurohane's collar naturally loosened. She even carefully straightened Kurohane's clothes, revealing her white teeth—because her face was covered in black dust, her teeth looked especially white!
"Not good enough!" Kurohane scoffed.
Kurohane truly didn't have a good impression of this female Loki, but seeing her green expression, he knew she clearly hadn't been defeated by society yet. The Time Variance Authority (TVA) probably hadn't had time to find her, she had only accidentally entered his world while time-traveling, otherwise, she would have found a way to escape long ago!
And this kind of cross-over was uncontrollable. Under the influence of [Super Vision], Sylvie had absolutely no secrets in front of Kurohane. Although these eyes couldn't shoot laser beams or anything, using them as X-rays was no problem. Kurohane instantly saw all of Sylvie's internal organs. Aside from a sword sheath, there was nothing else on her body!
Kurohane: (surprised, then grinning). Nice figure!
"I know you helped Dr. Erik Selvig open the portal for the normal development of the timeline. This was so you could avoid the pursuit of the Time Variance Authority, and also to keep my world's timeline from being forcibly erased by the Time Variance Authority, so I'm too lazy to pursue it anymore." Kurohane put away his pistol. "That shot earlier has settled the score."
"Great!!!"
As soon as Kurohane finished speaking, Sylvie enthusiastically agreed. Now she was genuinely afraid, she had seen Kurohane's performance over New York with her own eyes. That ability to enlarge, and the ability to absorb fire, even in the Multiverse, were very powerful existences. And he also had the Holy Scar bestowed by the Holy Dimension! In other words, even if Kurohane died, his soul would be received by the Holy Dimension, and then he would gain eternal life and formidable power!
Perhaps he would even leave a magic spell in the Book of Vishanti later, named something like Kurohane's Whip... What's more, the Ancient One in this world was too strong!!! She had tried to escape over thirty times, but every time she got out of the Sanctum door, her next step was to arrive beside Ancient One, which was far beyond her comprehension!
Actually, this had also been planned by Kurohane when he wanted to skip out on things. If Kurohane couldn't escape, then of course she couldn't either.
"But it's not good to let you stay on Earth unsupervised," Kurohane began, his tone more relaxed now. "Is there anything you want to do yourself? Have you ever thought of working as a waitress at Golden Arches? Or a cashier or something?"
Kurohane's mind involuntarily drifted to the content of the Loki TV series. Sylvie's hoped-for peaceful life, I once wanted to be a waitress at Golden Arches, cleaning tables and selling burgers every day.
"A waitress? Why would I be a waitress? I am Odin's daughter, the God of Mischief of Asgard!" Sylvie raised an eyebrow and looked at Kurohane with disdain. Then, seeing Kurohane clench his hand, her face immediately transformed into a smile, which looked odd with the remaining soot on her face. "If possible, I hope to become a disciple of the strongest Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, and become part of the great Kamar-Taj in the future, protecting this Reality!"
Ancient One: (faintly smiling). Kurohane: (shocked).
She's quite good at flattery, isn't she?! As expected of the God of Mischief! This woman must not be allowed to stay! The one who will be in charge of Kamar-Taj can only be... only me for a short time! As for how to hand over this position to Stephen Strange in the future, Kurohane just needs to follow Ancient One's routine!
"In a few days, I'll be going to Asgard," Kurohane announced. "Odin the All-Father sent Thor to invite me, I'll take you to Asgard with me. I don't think they'd mind adopting another daughter!"
Kurohane decided to toss this hot potato to Asgard, and most importantly, his previous encounter with Odin hadn't been very pleasant, so when going to Asgard, it would be better to have two, or perhaps three, hostages! Better safe than sorry!
Sylvie lowered her head. She hadn't seen Odin and Frigga in a long time. Psychologically, she was somewhat resistant, but also a little hopeful! This universe was different from the one she lived in. If she stayed on Earth, she wouldn't have much freedom. Given Kurohane's and Ancient One's attitudes, they might confine her in the Mirror Dimension for the rest of her life!
"Alright, I agree. When are we going to Asgard?" Sylvie asked, a resigned tone in her voice.
"Wait a few days. The Battle of New York has just ended. We'll go after handling a few other matters." Kurohane himself also needed time to rest, and then he had to fight Endgame. Even the most capable person couldn't work non-stop!
"Teacher, open a portal for me, I want to go home, shower, and sleep!" Kurohane said to Ancient One, sounding utterly exhausted.
