Marvel: I'm just the Supreme Master's sidekick.

Chapter 06 The Eyes of the Underworld

"You don't seem very confident."

Although Gu Yi was somewhat surprised by the test results, she quickly regained her usual composure.

"Anyone would feel disheartened after being bullied for so many days."

Qin Wuying said indignantly.

"That's true, you must have gone through a lot of hardships to come into this world."

The Supreme Venerable One spoke very calmly, uttering a statement that greatly shocked Qin Wuying.

"Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know, but the Eye of Agamotto can see it."

Only then did Qin Wuying notice that the Ancient One was wearing the artifact that housed the Time Stone on her chest.

"Normally, you wouldn't bring it out, right?"

"You're right. But these past few days have been different; I need its guidance. Besides you, there's a very special newcomer who just joined."

Gu Yi pointed to the practice field outside the door.

Placing the wordless book on the table, Qin Wuying slowly walked out of the room, standing behind Gu Yi, observing the mages' training from the steps.

For mages, opening a portal using a slingshot is considered a fundamental skill.

But amidst the opening and closing of portals, there was one person who stood out from the crowd.

His hair and beard were very long, and he had to adjust his bangs with his hands from time to time so that they wouldn't cover his eyes.

Moreover, his magical skills seemed utterly terrible, and the sling ring did not react at all on his hand.

Worse still, his hands appeared to be severely injured, trembling incessantly and unable to maintain a relatively stable posture.

If it were someone else, they might consider this person to be the lowest quality mage.

But Qin Wuying, who had seen many Marvel works, knew that this was none other than Stephen Strange.

"Doctor Strange... what a coincidence."

At this time, Doctor Strange had just entered Kamar-Taj and did not yet possess the supernatural powers he would later have.

My purpose in coming here is only to treat my hands for now.

"Go and say hello to him; I think you two will get along."

The Ancient One gently pushed Qin Wuying's back, instantly teleporting him to Strange's side.

"Uh... hello?"

Qin Wuying waved in front of Strange, but the other party ignored him.

Strange was determined to learn how to open a portal, and he kept drawing circles in the air with his hands, but no matter what he did, he could only produce a few sparks.

Just as Qin Wuying was about to continue the conversation, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

Then came that annoying, familiar tone: "What are you doing! How dare you interrupt the apprentices' training!"

Turning around, I saw Mordo jogging angrily towards me from a distance.

"I didn't disturb you, it was Your Excellency who told me... Ouch!"

Before Qin Wuying could finish explaining, Mo Du kicked her to the ground.

Modu pulled out a steel whip and pressed it against Qin Wuying's throat, clearly intending to kill him on the spot.

"Who gave you permission to lay a hand on me? You're getting more and more impatient, Mordo."

Seeing this, Gu Yi walked down the steps one by one and asked Mo Du to stop.

"Your Excellency, this person has a terrible reputation and behaves badly. As an outsider, he has also spied on our secrets. He must be eliminated immediately."

"Who says he's an outsider!"

All the mages in the room were stunned, and they all looked at the Ancient One, Mordo, and Qin Wuying lying on the ground.

Clearly, the Supreme Being's sudden increase in volume startled them.

"I don't understand what Your Excellency means..." Mordo was somewhat taken aback, and loosened his grip on the steel whip slightly.

"From today onwards, Qin is officially a member of Kamar-Taj."

"But...this doesn't go against tradition..."

"Tradition? You mean that test? Mordo, you're just a purple-quality mage, while Qin's power far surpasses yours."

"No, that can't be..."

For many years since the founding of Kamar-Taj, hundreds of mages have guarded this place, among whom only a very few possess purple quality.

Modu simply did not believe that someone like Qin Wuying could defeat him.

However, the words of the Venerable One are always the most authoritative, and since the Ancient One has spoken, he cannot disobey.

There was no other way but to retrieve the weapons.

Modu looked at Qin Wuying, impatiently reaching out to help him up—

However, he suddenly realized that his whole body was stiff and he could not move.

A deep-seated fear of nothingness and darkness, like vines, slowly coils around the body, accompanied by a bone-chilling cold.

"Modu? Do you intend to disobey me?"

When Gu Yi saw that Mordo didn't make a move, he couldn't help but frown.

Not only Modu, but all the mages whose eyes fell on Qin Wuying froze in their poses from the previous second.

Apart from Stephen Strange.

"Master Gu Yi, what's going on?"

Strange, who was engrossed in his practice, also realized that something was wrong.

"This is not a time spell, and the Eye of Agamotto cannot restore them."

The Ancient One made a gesture to close the Eye of Agamotto, then quickly walked to Qin Wuying's side.

Strange stared blankly, at a loss for what to do.

Qin Wuying's eyes were emitting a chilling aura, and even Gu Yi was stunned for a few seconds when she first saw them.

"Qin's consciousness has been suppressed; we must help him free it."

She gathered a ball of energy in her palm and pressed it hard into Qin Wuying's chest.

The oppressive atmosphere vanished instantly, and Strange felt a warm current rising in his heart.

The frozen mages' legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.

"Ah! Huff—huff!" Modu slammed the steel whip to the ground, bracing himself with his hands, and panted heavily.

"Is everyone alright?"

Gu Yi looked around the scene and, after confirming that no one was actually injured, felt relieved.

"What kind of witchcraft is this? It's too dangerous!"

After taking several steps back, Mo Du felt even more dissatisfied and wary of Qin Wuying.

Everyone looked at the Ancient One, their teacher, and the Supreme Being with anticipation, hoping for a clear answer.

After all, the nausea and near-death experience just now were too real. No one could feel at ease living under the same roof as such a terrifying person.

Even Qin Wuying himself hadn't fully recovered and was still sitting on the ground, unable to get up.

"What happened? Is someone attacking the temple?"

Upon receiving the Ancient One's magical message, the assistant "Wang" rushed to the scene. Faced with the sight of many people lying on the ground, he couldn't help but assume a fighting stance.

"No, something far more serious has happened."

This is something only the Ancient One knows.

Things took a completely unexpected turn, and even the Eye of Agamotto hadn't told her that such an accident would happen.

In reality, within the illusion of the Time Stone, Qin Wuying, like Strange, could only see infinite possibilities, but not a definite future.

"The Eye of Hades of Archmage Davist, it has reappeared... but how is this possible...?"
