The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 86 The Director Betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D.!

When faced with the Ancient One's invitation to become the next leader of Kamar-Taj, Du Mu neither agreed nor refused.

Gu Yi also kept her promise and still allowed Du Mu to freely enter and exit the library.

Not only that, she also arranged a place for Du Mu in Kamar-Taj, which also has WIFI coverage and a charging socket, just in time to charge his phone.

In the days that followed, Du Mu continued to stay in Kamar-Taj to improve his magical knowledge and also unlocked the map of Kamar-Taj.

During this time, he returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters once, only to find that Nick Fury was still not in his office and he could not contact him at all.

Since there were no NPCs giving out daily quests, he simply spent all his time in Kamar-Taj.

As time went on, Du Mu gained a deeper understanding of Kamar-Taj.

As Queen Frigga once said, most sorcerers need to borrow energy from dimensional lords to cast spells, and the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are no exception.

However, they generally practice a type of white magic, whose energy comes from the Triune Vishanti. This magic is relatively gentle, has a lower cost, and is easier to repay debts, making it a representative of conscience among dimensional demons.

As for the Ancient One, Du Mu really couldn't figure out the details of this Sorcerer Supreme.

He suspected that the other party was probably practicing more than just white magic, and might also be involved in other forbidden magic with even greater consequences.

After all, the other party also has the title of "famous deadbeat in multiple dimensions", and doesn't seem like someone who only relies on white magic to get by.

But this is enough to prove how awesome the Ancient One was.

Anyone who dares to default on a debt to a dimensional demon must either possess extraordinary strength, have a powerful background, or both.

Time passes quietly.

After a period of diligently watching videos and reading books, Du Mu finally barely met the requirements for learning some basic magic.

It's worth mentioning that he doesn't need to borrow energy from dimensional demons like other mages, but instead uses magic directly by consuming mana, although the effects will differ slightly from the original spells.

Perhaps because he was influenced by the illumination spell when he activated the blue bar, the magic that Du Mu uses seems to have a light attribute.

Du Mu raised his hand, attempting to cast the spell he had just learned.

The next moment, a surge of pure white energy flowed from his hands, gradually condensing into a lightsaber in them!

The lightsaber was bright all over, looking like a super-powerful light tube, and was extremely dazzling.

"Why is my magic sword different in style from everyone else's?"

Du Mu's expression was somewhat complicated.

Other people's magic has cool special effects, but his magic is just pure light pollution, so bright that you can't even see the outline of the sword.

"Is this magic for lighting?"

A voice suddenly came from behind.

Du Mu turned around and saw Gu Yi curiously examining the lightsaber in his hand, not knowing when she had arrived.

His lips twitched: "No, this is a magic sword!"

Where are the hilt and blade?

"."

Du Mu couldn't answer that, since even he hadn't found it.

Du Mu immediately changed the subject: "Master Gu Yi, where did you go the other day? I've been looking for you but couldn't find you."

He wanted to ask if becoming the Sorcerer Supreme would make him so powerful, and if so, he would simply take over the position. But he never even saw her.

"A guest recently came over, and I went to entertain him."

The Ancient One didn't offer any further explanation, her gaze remaining fixed on the lightsaber, and praised, "Such a rich aura of light! I knew I wasn't wrong; you truly have great potential."

Du Mu asked in surprise, "You can sense this energy?"

"No, I can see it. It can't be dark because it's so bright. That doesn't make sense."

Du Mu: _

Master Ancient One, you should spend more time fighting dimensional demons and less time playing games.

Why is the Sage Supreme acting like an internet-addicted old man, spouting gaming jargon all the time?

Du Mu dismissed the lightsaber in his hand and said speechlessly, "You came all this way to see me, not just to see the new magic I've learned, right?"

Gu Yi shook her head: "Of course not. I came to remind you that someone outside is looking for you."

"Someone's looking for me?" Du Mu was slightly taken aback. Kamar-Taj only had WiFi; there was absolutely no cell phone signal.

His phone was constantly out of service, so naturally he couldn't receive any outside contact.

The Ancient One smiled and said, "Yes, you should leave Kamar-Taj. It's not too late to come back after you've finished dealing with what you have to do."

"Alright, I'll go back and see what's going on."

Du Mu nodded.

Actually, he wasn't in a hurry to learn magic. If he had nothing else to do, he wouldn't be leisurely grinding for skills here.

He then opened the map and clicked on the coordinates of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to teleport.

Just as Du Mu disappeared from the spot, another figure suddenly appeared beside Gu Yi, an old man with a wrinkled white beard.

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and chuckled, "How about we discuss it again? You give him to me, and I'll give you my Strange. That way you'll have two Stranges, double the fun, what do you think?"

Gu Yi shook her head: "I don't think it's very good. Besides, your Strange won't have a car accident for a long time. By then, I'll have already logged off."

The white-bearded old man waved his hand: "It's alright, I can control the car to hit him in advance, or if that doesn't work, I can drive the car and hit him myself."

Gu Yi: "."

"If that doesn't work, he can stay with you on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and come to me on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. We'll give him a day off on Sundays, how about that?"

Gu Yi: "."

Seeing that Gu Yi remained unmoved, the white-bearded old man shook his head regretfully.

"Sigh, you've really struck gold this time. If only he had come to me from the beginning. But you'd better be careful. There are 1400 million Ancient Ones waiting to be drawn up. There aren't many Ancient Ones like me who don't like to snatch people up."

Gu Yi: "."

Of all the characters in the Ancient One series, you are the one I need to be most wary of.

When Du Mu returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, he immediately sensed that something was amiss.

Unlike usual, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents all looked serious and walked hurriedly, as if they were facing some important mission.

Du Mu casually stopped a passing agent and asked, "What happened?"

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent didn't recognize Du Mu and instinctively tried to break free, only to find that he couldn't.

He was about to get angry when he saw Du Mu show off his S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 7 agent badge, and he immediately became respectful.

"Sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you just now."

Du Mu urged, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what happened."

The other party seemed slightly surprised: "Sir, didn't you receive the notification? S.H.I.E.L.D. has issued a Level 8 event alert, and the entire operation is now in a state of war."

As the saying goes, the bigger the matter, the fewer words are needed.

A full alert at S.H.I.E.L.D. means a major event has occurred, and the higher the alert level, the more serious the situation.

Du Mu has been playing this game for so long, and he has never encountered an event alert of level 5 or higher.

A Level 7 event is a global crisis that would require the deployment of large-scale war-grade equipment from S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with.

As for a Level 8 incident, I simply can't even imagine it.

Could it be that aliens are attacking Earth?
But this agent only had Level 4 clearance, and knew nothing when questioned further.

Du Mu simply let go of him, took out his phone and saw that there were dozens of missed calls, most of which were from Coulson.

He immediately called back, and the other party answered almost instantly.

"Village chief, I have something to ask you."

Du Mu had barely opened his mouth when Coulson abruptly interrupted him: "Agent Du Mu, it's an emergency! I urgently need your assistance!"

Colson's tone carried an unprecedented anxiety and urgency.

Du Mu became even more curious: "Tell me first, what exactly happened?"

Coulson took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The director has betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D."

Du Mu: "???"
