Marvel's Superman Chapter 259
Advertisement
Greenwich Village, Bleecker Street.
The only person in this universe who could understand his situation without much explanation was probably the Sorcerer Supreme, who frequently traveled to observe the future.
Of course, Luke wasn't talking about Doctor Strange, who was directly erased by the snap.
After watching the spoiler, the guy was still completely helpless; everyone was gone.
The person he was looking for was actually the Ancient One who took the opportunity to retire.
"I wonder how many people are still alive in Kamar Taj."
Luke directly pushed open the door of the New York Sanctum. It was silent inside.
The flames in the fireplace rose, the teacups on the table were still warm, and a few books and some magical artifacts were scattered on the ground.
It's like, one second, everyone was chatting happily, discussing where to eat later.
The next second, they vanished. Not even getting the chance to say goodbye.
Only the lit fireplace, the unfinished tea, and the flipped books were proof of things that happened before.
"This is terrible."
Luke lamented.
Fortunately, the three time and space nodes still maintained basic operations.
Those dimensional demons couldn't take this opportunity to invade the world.
However, today, it was also a heavy loss for them.
Thanos wiped away half of life on earth, so the dead souls didn't fall into the hands of those dimension demons.
The rapidly declining population was essentially no different from that of a capitalist losing half of its productive resources for no reason at all.
This was a huge loss!
No one knew how long it would take to make up for it!
Half of the lives just disappeared. This meant that for a long time in the future, the dimension demons would have to face the embarrassing situation of deflation.
Because the soul was a common currency for the dimension gods and demons, the devil of hell and the angel of heaven,.
The former was a way of lending, building a well-established system to harvest 'wealth'.
The latter two, by contract and faith, divide the soul of mankind into two sides of a larger business.
Regardless of the means, a large population base was a necessary condition for maintaining this 'market'.
However, Thanos, who was bent on contributing to family planning in the universe, had cut the market in half.
"If Cyttorak, Chthon, and Set could enter the material world, they would definitely beat Thanos to the ground."
Luke curled his lips and entered the hall unimpeded.

He went up to the third floor.
"Master Ancient One, are you here? Umm, Strange asked me to bring you a message."
Luke stopped in front of the [Window of the worlds], bent his fingers, and tapped twice.
As an artifact with Vishanti's seal, it could also act as a communicator.
"Who are you? Strange should no longer be in this world."
Luke waited patiently for about half a minute, and the Ancient One suddenly appeared.
She held a small sandalwood fan and sized up the strange intruder with a critical eye, revealing the other party's obvious lie.
"Well, I don't know Stephen Strange yet."
Luke admitted frankly and continued, "But I do have something urgent for you, Master Ancient One."
"It's strange, I've never seen you before, yet I feel the aura of Vishanti, the scarlet glow of Cyttorak, and even the chaotic magic of Chthon ..."
The Ancient One's eyes showed a puzzled look.
Generally speaking, provoking even one of these dimensional demon gods was already a headache.
The young man standing in front of her seemed to have had contact with all three.
"To tell you the truth, I have read the Book of the Vishanti, used the temporary contract with Cyttorak, and was taken a fancy to by Chthon, and almost became the spokesperson for chaos magic."
Luke, with a light-hearted look on his face, described a series of his legendary experiences.
"Hmm, you have had a hard life."
The Ancient One didn't doubt it either but looked at Luke even more strangely.
She clearly didn't know the other party, but she had a feeling of familiarity.
"Master Ancient One, let me introduce myself. I come from another universe, the past before everything happened."
Luke directly stated.
"Because of an accident, I came to this universe involuntarily. This universe, a future timeline where everything has happened."
Superman said, a little loosely, but the Ancient One still understood.
"So, you know the me of that universe? You also entered Kamar Taj and studied the Book of the Vishanti ... You aren't the next Sorcerer Supreme I selected, are you?"
The former Sorcerer Supreme behaved calmly and didn't make a fuss.
"You do look a lot better than Strange -- physically, I mean."
"I have suggested before that he should spend more time on physical exercise. A qualified master needs a strong body."
The Ancient One had a general understanding of the theory that the universe was an infinite box, with layers nested between one another.

Therefore, she could quickly accept the facts as Luke presented them and asked questions.
If it was Doctor Strange, Luke would definitely have to spend time explaining what 'another universe' was and what 'past' actually meant.
That guy hadn't been at the top for long, completely unskilled in the workflow for the Sorcerer Supreme.
"I need your help, Master."
Seeing that they could communicate with each other normally, Luke went straight to the point and made his request.
He was worried about whether the Sorcerer Supreme, after her retirement, would talk and laugh with Eternity.
Fortunately, the Ancient One stayed on the earth and didn't leave.
"I'm afraid I can't help you."
The Ancient One shook her fan and whispered.
"Half of the creatures in the universe are wailing and weeping, and their existence has been completely erased. But I am just a long-dead person, who can only watch silently, wait quietly, unable to do anything."
Luke raised his eyebrows. He knew that the Ancient One, at this time, had lost her physical body and was currently appearing in the form of a soul.
As early as in the previous story, the other party faked her death in the hand of Kaecilius and successfully retired early.
She gave Doctor Strange the Sorcerer Supreme post and the responsibility of protecting the earth.
"You have chosen Strange, and he saw the exact ending from countless futures."
Luke suddenly remembered that the six Infinity Stones had been collected, so it seemed that he could finish the task ahead of schedule.
"Everything can be changed and corrected. The Avengers will accomplish this arduous task."
"I'm willing to help so that they could make fewer detours and fewer sacrifices."
"But in return, I would like you, Master Ancient One, to give me the coordinates of this universe and some detailed parameters."
This was why Luke came to the Ancient One in the first place.
If we were to ask who was the most likely person to hold the deep secrets of the universe, it was definitely the Sorcerer Supreme!
Vishanti was an ancient god, and they were closely related to Eternity.
Luke had no information about the box other than the number on the small box.
If he wanted to make another smooth space-time trip, he needed to know the coordinate data of that universe, which was convenient for modeling and calculation --Tony Stark and Bruce Banner had to do the following work.
"All right, now I completely believe that you're a traveler from another universe."
The Ancient One was slightly surprised.
In theory, it was impossible for anyone other than the holder of the Time Stone, the Sorcerer Supreme, who had access to the Eye of Agamotto, to know where the future was leading to.
However, based on Luke's words, Ancient One determined that her opponent knew no less than she did.
"By the way, what's your name?"
The increasingly relaxed former Sorcerer Supreme asked.
"Luke Cavill, in my universe, everyone likes to call me 'Superman'."
Luke replied.
"I can agree to your request."
After a long time of contemplation, the Ancient One nodded her head.
The death of her body had no effect on a great master like her.
As long as her soul remained intact, the Ancient One could still travel the universe in her astral projection form.
This was much more liberating than the hard life of being at her post every day and not being able to leave without permission.
"Strange will lead the Avengers from this bad ending to the only correct choice."
The Ancient One's face was grave, and she spoke in a deep voice.
"Luke, you are an insurance policy to make sure they complete their mission."
"In exchange, I will tell you what you want to know as a reward."
Luke's mouth hooked up a smile. No matter what time, as long as a reasonable argument was given, the Ancient One was always the best one to talk to.
"Then I'll see you next time, Master Ancient One, and I'll complete the deal."
He conveniently borrowed an unowned hanging ring from the table on the third floor.
Skillfully drew a magic circle and opened a portal.
"I'll go to Wakanda first to talk to Steve. I hope he will treat me as a friend, not an enemy."
Looking at Luke walking into the portal, the Ancient One's soul had a strange glint in her eyes.
"Stranger, I hope you won't make things worse."
She stopped at the Window of the Worlds for a few minutes.
The illusory soul burst out with a flash of light and disappeared.

A Forgotten Hero
(author: This is gonna be a long synopsis I apologise. This should be a prolouge but as you will see I have a seperate prolouge, please forgive me. This fiction as a warning beforehand is as basic as it comes, prettymuch following all story conventions of both the mecha and school life genres. I am mostly writing this to figure out my writing style before I begin something truly creative and uique. I dont wanna ruin something I worked hard on by being illiterate. Also illustrations are at a minimum because all I have access to is MS paint.) In the year 2028 humanity (accidentally) created the means to travel great distances through space in a short period of time. This has led humanity down the road of great technological advancement and also led to the spread of humanity across their home system and just begiining first steps upon other solar systems planets. In the year 2033 the human colonies in space broke from the chains of their old countries creating hyper advanced societies disregarding nationality and any other defining factor. Two space societies formed the Solar Empire a monarchic society with its capitol on the moon Titan which controeld the entire human home system aside from Earth which still remained divided into seperate contries. The other was the Extra-solar Leauge. A mysterious society outside of easy contact range with any other humans besides themselves. To help with construction and other work outside of sealed and breatheable atmospheres of their cities and ships the Solar Empire and Extra-Solar Leauge created what became known as Advanced Movement Shells(AMS). These machines are best described as huge exoskeletons or "mechs", and they aided greatly in getting things done by increasing strength, durability, and the amount of tools able to be used. They also aided in quelling rebellions among extremist groups forming in these new societies. Finally in the year 2050 the Solar Empire having divinated their emperor, and now beliving themselves to be their religions chosen people, the Solar Empire declared a holy war of conquest against all the nations of Earth in order to conquer it under the idea that all humanity was required to bend to their divine emperors rule. The first month of the war whent badly for earth as the divided nations fell one by one due to the Empires superior weaponry among other technologies which made their forces nearly invincible. The AMS were used to great effect due to their almost "magical" level of technological advancement. Some nations able to put up some kind of defense created their own versions of these technological terrors. From there the war became a brutal stalemate and suddenly was won by the forces of earth. Why this is still hasn't come to the light of the common man, but one thing is for certain it took a heroic effort from one, or many people to win it for humanity...

GLADIUS // Eret X Reader
PHANTASM SERIES BOOK 4---Gladius, (noun): (in ancient Rome) a short sword.---Eret perked up as soon as you and Simon walked into the room, a wide and welcoming smile coming onto his face. He was softer looking than his father had been, but you could still see some of the similar traits. He had a head of thick dark curls, and the same sharp jaw that his father had had. He wasn't as bulky though - he was tall and thin - and his face was a lot more open. What separated him most from his father's likeness though was the colorful cape, and the large mirrored glasses he wore - swirling with colors reflected from the room. He stood from his seat when Maven let the doors swing shut behind her, that wide smile still on his face. "You must be the embassy.""And you must be King Eret." You said, stooping into a bow. "Oh, there's no need for that." Eret said as you rose from your bow. He stepped down from the dias where his throne sat - colorful cape trailing behind him - and came to stand in front of you, taking your hand instead. "I'm not really one for formalities." He grinned, shaking your hand. His palm was warm against yours, and you could feel some slight callouses - most likely from practicing his sword work.
