Earth-65, Nepal, Kamar-Taj.
The male Ancient One had been silently observing these Spider-n.
Lucas was being unreasonable, ordering him, his teacher, around and he blocked the signal, couldn't be found, and just ran back to Earth-404.
But what could he, as a teacher, do?
Forgive him, of course.
At most, he would just throw a few more Universes onto his shoulders later.
As the Spider-n and the male Ancient One waited, a ripple appeared in the spaceti of Earth-65's Universe.
This was the ripple of the Master Weaver, the Web of Life and Destiny.
Following the ripple, the male Ancient One's eyes lit up.
mbers of the Inheritors had arrived!
Using the positioning of the Ti Stone (fake), the male Ancient One drew a circle with his finger, opening a portal.
The show was about to begin, and he wanted to call Lucas to watch it with him.
Sparks flickered, and the portal slowly opened.
Unlike what the male Ancient One had expected, the other side of the portal was not Lucas. Instead, it was a young female sorcerer dressed in the plain white robes of Kamar-Taj.
The male Ancient One carefully observed the young female sorcerer on the other side of the portal, and after a mont of hesitation, asked, "Are you Wanda?"
Wanda looked at the male Ancient One with so annoyance.
This white-bearded old man was too impolite!
Opening a portal so casually near soone else.
Seeing Wanda's expression, the male Ancient One understood that she might have misunderstood sothing.
So he slowly began to explain, "I ca looking for Lucas. It's just that I don't know why, but it pinpointed you here. Did he give you the Ti Stone?"
Wanda believed the male Ancient One's explanation, understanding that this was likely a misunderstanding—the crucial information about the Ti Stone was known by very few people.
"I am Wanda Maximoff. Lucas did lend the Ti Stone to study for a while. Who are you, and why do you also know ?"
Wanda first answered the male Ancient One's question, then posed her own.
First Lucas, then this mysterious white-bearded old man in front of her.
Why did they all know her?
"I am the Ancient One of Earth-616."
The male Ancient One first answered the first question, then answered the second question with a sowhat strange tone.
"As for why I know you?
"The Scarlet Witch, even in the Multiverse, is renowned. Of course, you are just Wanda now, not the Scarlet Witch."
Wanda pressed on, "The Scarlet Witch? What is that? Another Universe's Wanda?"
She felt like she had found the truth behind Lucas understanding her and believing in her imnse potential.
The male Ancient One nodded. "Yes."
Wanda continued to ask, a little excited, "Then can I also beco as strong as the other Universe's Wanda in the future?"
She rembered Lucas saying that if she was strong enough, she could snatch her parents' souls back from Hell.
The male Ancient One slowly shook his head. "Hard to say, Wanda. You see, the sa person in different Universes can have significant differences. Including personality, height, appearance, and even gender, and so on."
"Take as an example, isn't the Ancient One in your Universe a female?
"If I didn't say anything, would you be able to connect the two of us?"
Wanda said, "But you are both Sorcerer Supres, both equally powerful."
The male Ancient One explained, "The Ancient One is not my real na. In many Universes, I died before becoming the Sorcerer Supre."
And, we are not equally powerful, I am stronger.
He then asked Wanda, "Wanda, why are you so fixated on power? A sorcerer should strive to maintain a peaceful heart, especially for soone like you who possesses Chaos Magic."
Wanda fell silent.
The female Ancient One had also told her this.
"Lucas said that only with great strength can I snatch my parents' souls back from hell."
The male Ancient One's face darkened. "This unfilial disciple is misleading others."
"Master, why are you speaking ill of behind my back? What did I say wrong?" Lucas's voice rang out.
The male Ancient One scolded with a dark face, "Wanda has only just begun her training, and you're setting such a difficult goal for her."
"How are you a teacher? Do you know how to teach? Do you understand gradual progress?"
Under the male Ancient One's three consecutive questions, Lucas's eyes darted around, finally managing to blurt out a sentence.
"I'm not Wanda's teacher, you are. Besides, I figured, pressure creates motivation, right?"
"I'm Wanda's teacher?" The male Ancient One asked, puzzled.
Knowing that Lucas had given the Ti Stone to Wanda, the male Ancient One's first reaction was that Wanda was Lucas's disciple. After all, that was the Ti Stone (fake), not just so random item.
"Mm." Lucas nodded.
The male Ancient One looked at Wanda.
Wanda hesitated for a mont, then said, "My teacher is indeed the Ancient One. It's just that I don't know about different Universes."
The male Ancient One nodded.
First, he admonished Lucas, "You should put less pressure on Wanda from now on. Pressure creating motivation is true, but you can't just add pressure arbitrarily like that."
"You need to proceed gradually, not try to make things grow too fast. When you have ti, you should study psychology properly."
"For an excellent Sorcerer Supre, psychological knowledge is also very important. You should know that many sorcerers encounter psychological problems during their training."
Then, he kindly said to Wanda, "Wanda, don't put too much pressure on yourself. In a few days, when I have ti, I'll go to Hell and bring your parents' souls back for you."
Normally, he would not do this, but Lucas was causing trouble.
Upon hearing this, Wanda was overjoyed, saying in disbelief, "Really?"
The male Ancient One nodded. "It's just Hell."
The heavy burden that had weighed on her heart for many days suddenly lifted, and Wanda wept with joy. She turned, hugged Lucas, and buried her head, sobbing.
The male Ancient One: "?"
Shouldn't you be rushing through the portal and hugging , your master, and crying?
Why are you hugging that unfilial disciple?
Lucas was a little flustered, he hadn't expected Wanda to suddenly have an emotional outburst.
Could it be that he had put too much pressure on her recently?
While gently patting Wanda's back, Lucas pondered in his mind.
It seems he's really not suited to be a teacher, he can't even draw a good pie in the sky.
Looking at Wanda, who was still sobbing with her head buried in his embrace, unable to stop for a while, to avoid disturbing her, Lucas quietly established a private call with the male Ancient One.
"Master, is there sothing you need for?"
The male Ancient One said, "The show here on Earth-65 is about to begin, do you want to co and watch?"
"Have the Spider-n found the Inheritors? Why didn't my button notify ?"
"No, but it's close. Anyway, there's a good show, do you want to co and watch?"
"Yes. But I need to bring a few more people, so I might be a bit late."
"Hurry, I'll try to buy you so ti."
"Okay, thank you, Master."
