Marvel: It Starts with a Spell

“Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga”

In Italy, among the mountains, the black factory collapsed and black-feathered crows pecked at the broken corpses.

The azure light exploded, and a figure emerged from it. It was Li Huang. He had been able to initially control the energy fluctuations during transmission, so that it no longer exploded every time it was transmitted, destroying the surrounding area.

"Caw, cackle, cackle--" Flocks of crows flew into the sky. Li Huang sniffed the stench in the air. A document appeared in his hand. He looked through it carefully to make sure he was not in the wrong place.

"Damn, this place has become a ruin." Li Huang threw the file back into his personal space and prepared to transfer it again.

A golden halo appeared out of nowhere, with a circle of golden sparks flying everywhere. Opposite the golden halo was another space, from which a bald man in a golden robe walked out.

"Master Ancient One!" Li Huang's pupils shrank and he subconsciously initiated mind transmission. The next moment, Li Huang appeared in front of the ruins of a black factory.

"Caw, cackle, cackle—" Flocks of crows flew into the sky, and the golden portal beside them opened. The Eye of Agamotto hanging around the neck of the Ancient One was still emitting a green light.

Li Huang then realized that there was no way he could defeat the Supreme Mage in front of him. After all, she was the recognized Supreme Mage in the Nine Realms and the guardian of Midgard (Earth). Her magical powers and experience were beyond his reach.

The blue light on Li Huang's body dissipated, and he bowed slightly and said, "I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Gu Yi smiled: "It's a smart choice."

Li Huang showed a bitter smile, "I still know myself well when facing you."

The Ancient One's attitude was very gentle. He turned his right hand and a golden-edged portal appeared beside the two of them. The Ancient One invited them, "Would you like to have a cup of tea?"

"It's my honor." Li Huang followed Master Ancient One into the portal.

Li Huang didn't notice that when he walked into the portal, Master Ancient One's hand trembled.

At this time, Ancient One secretly increased his mana output: "It's worthy of being a space gem." Ancient One sighed in his heart.

In Kamar-Taj, an ancient Tibetan architectural complex, a group of wizards were curiously looking at the man who came back with Ancient One. Seeing that his clothes were torn and the left half of his body was emitting a bright blue light, people couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Follow Master Ancient One up to an attic.

"Please sit down, Li Huang, and try this green tea. I don't know if you can get used to drinking Tibetan tea, so I made this for you."

Li Huang took the teacup with both hands and took a sip: "It's very delicious, thank you."

Are you kidding? This is the tea brewed by the Supreme Sorcerer. Do you dare to say it doesn’t taste good?

"Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Huang put down his teacup, a little suspicious.

Master Ancient One smiled and said, "I have seen your future."

"My future?" Li Huang was shocked.

"To be precise, it's your past and future, Li Huang. Your past is disappearing, and you are a person without a past." Master Gu Yi's expression was calm, but her words shocked Li Huang.

Li Huang pondered secretly, "I don't know if it was the 'past' when I was killed by the Ranger, or the original 'past' of this body."

Master Ancient One continued, "Your future is being obscured by the weight of time. I cannot see the more distant future through the Eye of Agamotto, and the future that I can see also has countless forks in the road..."

Li Huang drank some tea to calm himself down.

Ancient One did not stop and continued: "Your body is disintegrating and will be transformed into a new space gem container."

"Puff!" Li Huang spat out a mouthful of tea all over the floor.

"Sorry, what did you say?" Li Huang looked at Master Ancient One in disbelief, hoping that he had heard it wrong, or that the other party had said it wrong.

"What I mean is that your body is transforming into a container for the Space Gem." Master Ancient One said seriously.

"I will be the vessel for this thing?"

"Yes, you will gradually become the new [Living Cosmic Cube], and you have also noticed that your body will gradually disintegrate. Please imagine what it would be like if your brain would constantly disappear and then be reconstructed."

Li Huang couldn't help but think. If he was lucky, he wouldn't have any serious problems. At most, he would turn into a blue light man with particle disintegration effects on his body. If he was unlucky, he would most likely turn into an idiot or an intermittent idiot, and it would be better to die than to live.

Thinking of this, Li Huang looked at Gu Yi: "Are you here to help me?"

Gu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes and no, I can help you, but I can't help you with the problem of the space gem."

"Why?" Li Huang was puzzled. If Ancient One wanted to see him become an idiot, then this Supreme Sorcerer was really shameless.

"Your future is inextricably linked to this gem, and you cannot leave this gem now." Gu Yi stood up and looked at the sky through the window.

"If you insist on using the Eye of Agamotto, you can only send your consciousness back to the past or the future." said Master Ancient One.

"Can't we go back to the time when Red Skull and I were teleported to the ice field and I was injected with the super soldier serum?" Li Huang asked unwillingly. This time the injection of the super soldier serum was successful, and he also obtained the Space Gem. If he could modify the unknowable fusion of the Space Gem with himself, it would be perfect.

Master Gu Yi glanced at Li Huang and said, "Why don't you take a look for yourself to see what happened when you were on the ice field..."

"Ah?" Before Li Huang could react, Master Gu Yi gently slapped him on the body.

Li Huang suddenly felt like he was drowning, as if his soul was flying away. The surrounding scenery turned into flashes of light, passing through day and night, and passing through countless scenes. Li Huang saw an ice field and a source of azure blue light.

Li Huang saw himself and the Red Skull throwing the Cosmic Cube at him.

He then injected himself with the super soldier serum and passed out. The cosmic cube was branded on his chest, and the blood under Li Huang dyed the ice field red. As the potion took effect, Li Huang's whole body began to turn red. The increased body temperature melted the ice under him and he sank into the ice field. As time passed, his body temperature dropped and he was frozen.

During this process, the Cosmic Cube remained tightly attached to Li Huang's chest. Just when Li Huang thought that this was all he had experienced after falling into a coma.

Under the ice field, Li Huang's body began to collapse, and a large amount of flesh and blood proliferated. Clumps of flesh and blood were breaking through the ice layer. The Cosmic Cube was wrapped in the proliferating flesh and blood. The flesh and blood were stirring, as if something had happened inside. Then there was a confrontation between the monster-like wriggling flesh and blood and the Cosmic Cube.

As his flesh burned, Li Huang seemed to smell a disgusting smell of barbecue. Waves of blue energy exploded in Li Huang's body, blasting his body into pieces, but it soon grew again. The original container of the Space Gem, the Cosmic Cube, shattered at some point and instead climbed over Li Huang's body, beginning to disintegrate and reconstruct in a particle state...
