A circular magic array emerged from the tip of the Mind Stone scepter, brazenly unleashing thick bolts of lightning towards Mordo.
Shimizu discovered that his talent for magic was quite good.
It wasn't a big deal that he could quickly learn most conventional spells with his powerful mental strength and excellent comprehension, but when it came to spells related to wind and lightning, he was definitely a genius among geniuses.
Besides the Marvel world incarnation, Shimizu also studied magic with his main body and the DC world incarnation.
Outside the Marvel multiverse system, some spells that required borrowing power from specific dimensional demon gods could not be cast, but fundamentally, magic, like ninjutsu, was a form of energy utilization, and many aspects were common.
Most of the things that magic could do could also be done with chakra, except that the quality of chakra was not as high as the energy of a multi-level existence.
If the quality isn't enough, make up for it with quantity.
Other spells required careful calculation when borrowing power, but Shimizu didn't need to—his energy belonged to him, and it was strengthened by the Mind Stone's energy, so one unit of chakra could unleash the power of ten units of chakra.
A large amount of lightning poured out from the Mind Stone scepter, which really startled Mordo.
The difficulty of the Bolts of Balthakk was not low; it was a typical spell with a long wind-up and great power, but how could a mage who had only been learning magic for a month cast it instantly, and with even greater power than others?
Could it be the power of that scepter?
Mordo's combat experience was quite rich, and he knew that this move was not easy to receive, let alone dodge.
The Boots of Valtorr under his feet continuously stepped in the air, and with each step, a miniature circular shield array appeared under his feet to borrow power and accelerate, allowing him to retreat quickly.
At the same time, accompanied by the pinching of hand seals, the Staff of the Living Tribunal in Mordo's hand flashed with light and pointed forward.
"Winds of the Living Tribunal."
This was an extremely practical spell that could use the power of wind to form a shield to protect oneself, and it could also directly blow the wind shield at the enemy.
Under the blessing of the Staff of the Living Tribunal, a storm raged in the Mirror Dimension for a time, causing the watching mage apprentices in the distance to sway.
It was not until several mages who had learned the Rings of Galador stepped forward and jointly unfolded a shield that they blocked the aftermath.
The wind roared, and lightning intertwined.
Several portals flashing with gold edges appeared above Shimizu, and magical missiles flew out of Mordo's Staff of the Living Tribunal, continuously shooting towards Shimizu.
Shimizu also quickly drew a portal above his head, returning all these missiles.
But the next moment, mist rose.
Shimizu also recognized this spell, but hadn't learned it yet.
The Mists of Valtorr!
It seemed that Mordo knew quite a few spells related to the neutral dimensional demon gods associated with his equipment.
Valtorr represents secrecy and protection, and the mist cast with the power of Valtorr not only obscured vision, but also suppressed all sensory means with the power of Valtorr contained within.
At least Shimizu's Transparent World, which covered a range of thousands of meters, was now suppressed to only a few dozen meters.
However, he also understood Mordo's methods and strength level pretty well.
With Mordo's extreme pursuit of order and nature, he would definitely not learn those forbidden techniques that were very powerful but required a huge price and violated the laws of nature.
In other words, Mordo's strength was pretty much what he was showing now.
Perhaps there were a few other powerful magic tricks as trump cards, but his strength was pretty much at this level.
Quite strong, but a bit weak for Shimizu.
After all, he had only been using taijutsu and magic he had just learned for a month to fight Mordo, and he hadn't used his real specialties, ninjutsu and puppetry.
Relying on magic alone, he should currently be able to fight Mordo, a top-notch mage, to a 40/60 split, with no worries about self-preservation, but it would be difficult to gain the upper hand or take him down.
Stepping down, the Body Flicker Technique was activated, and Shimizu's figure disappeared instantly, causing Mordo's golden chain to miss.
The next second, Shimizu's figure disappeared from the spot.
Mordo, who was planning to take advantage of the mist to launch a sneak attack, paused, then looked at the distance in horror.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Shimizu looked at the blowing white mist, a few different expressions flashed across his face, and then he clapped his hands together, increasing the output.
"Wind Release: Tornado Hurricane!"
The power essence of the Mists of Valtorr was very high, and a single Wind Release: Great Breakthrough was a bit difficult to blow away.
Fortunately, Shimizu's mastery of Wind Release was extremely high.
Even without the blessing of airflow manipulation, he could already be considered the top Wind Release master in the ninja world, not necessarily much worse than Danzo from the neighboring village.
Mordo was stunned, looking at the huge storm in front of him, and then at the Staff of the Living Tribunal in his hand.
Whose hands did the Staff of the Living Tribunal fall into to produce such a powerful storm?
Buddy, didn't you just learn magic for a month? How come I've never seen this spell? Are you the illegitimate son of the Living Tribunal or something?
Mordo gritted his teeth, and then poured more arcane energy into the Staff of the Living Tribunal in his hand, first laying down a layer of the Shield of Seraphim in front of him to buy himself time, and then began to chant.
He could also unleash this kind of storm!
Even stronger!
As long as he was willing to pay more to the Living Tribunal through the Staff of the Living Tribunal.
"Pa!"
Mordo, who had just uttered two words, suddenly felt something pat his forehead.
"Are you crazy! Brat!"
The Ancient One appeared behind Mordo at some point, scolding and complaining, looking like he was rage-quitting after losing repeatedly in a game.
Then he patted Mordo's head twice, and with the other hand, he casually opened a portal, reaching out to pat the back of Shimizu's head.
Then Shimizu dodged it.
The old man Ancient One blew his beard and glared, and out of displeasure, he gave Mordo another flick on the forehead.
Mordo: ...
"Sorry, Master Ancient One, Walt and I were just sparring."
Mordo bowed ninety degrees to the Ancient One very respectfully, with a shamefaced expression.
Thinking that Master Ancient One had just risked his life to deal with those enemies, and now had to run back to clean up his mess, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"You call this sparring? If you had continued just now, you would have had to lie in bed for a month."
The Ancient One pointed at Mordo and scolded.
If you, an experienced and combat-effective thug, are lying in bed, how am I going to slack off next month?
"Sorry, Master Ancient One, I was reckless."
Mordo said in a low voice, his eyes involuntarily glancing at Shimizu who was dusting off his butt and walking over.
You used such a powerful spell, how come you're not even a little bit affected?
Aren't we learning the same kind of magic?
Could it be that you're really the biological son of Vatuumb?
Those apprentice mages who followed into the Mirror Dimension to watch the excitement also lowered their heads one by one and came over to pay respects to the Ancient One.
"Master Ancient One."
Shimizu, shamelessly, gave Ancient One a bright smile.
Ancient One rolled her eyes at Shimizu.
"You're quite capable, even Mordo isn't your match."
"Ahem, Master Ancient One teaches well, what capabilities do I have, you know it best."
With the Time Stone, Ancient One must know what I'm capable of.
"Enough nonsense, you know how much of your ability you learned here at Kamar-Taj, since you're so capable, then do more serious things for me."
"Master Ancient One, please feel free to instruct me!"
Without a mistake, a first, a launch, an inner, a content, a looking!
Mordo immediately stood up straight.
Shimizu: … …
I knew this old man was here to find a coolie.
"Well, good, then let's just go this time, Mordo, Woote, you guys tidy up later, take people to New York, and cooperate with the mages of the New York Sanctum, they detected spatial fluctuations of a Hell-like dimension there, there may be demons descending there, you go and solve it."
Ancient One yawned, waved at the two, and suddenly stopped again.
"By the way, Woote, come over here!"
"What's the matter?"
Ancient One brought her mouth close to Shimizu's ear and whispered:
"Have you considered acquiring Blizzard Entertainment? Can you let me beat up their planning team at that time?"
"I also really want to beat them up, but Blizzard Entertainment has now merged with other companies, it would be a big loss if I were to buy it, it's a big loss, or wait two years, my personal assets are rising very fast now."
"Wait two years?"
Ancient One stroked her beard.
By that time, Strange will be about to take the throne! She'll be about to meet Vishanti and the Eternal God!
"Why don't you hurry up, like this, I'll use the Time Stone to see when it's most suitable for you to buy, please, I really want to beat them up before I die!"
"Then you should beg me, I have to spend so much money, you have to give me some benefits, right?"
"Hmm… …"
Ancient One stroked her chin and began to think.
"I can let you go to the artifact storage room to choose a collection, but there can only be one!"
"No way, at least five."
How could one be enough?
Old thing, you're thinking pretty well.
Ancient One scratched her beard, wanting to refuse, but remembering how disgusted she was when playing games just now, she was unwilling.
"Like this, two, no more, and I'll tell you the location of a treasure, how about that?"
"You can't just give it to me directly, just tell me the location?"
Shimizu looked at Ancient One with contempt.
"I can't get it."
Ancient One shook her head and said simply.
"Old man, you can't get it, why can I get it, I'm not as good as you."
Ancient One touched her nose.
"That thing is not in this universe, you have to go out, if I go out, who will protect the earth from the invasion of dimensional demons!"
"In other words, you can't handle those dangers without the Time Stone, so you're telling me this, so that means, excluding the Time Stone, you're not as strong as me?"
"Hey, you're quite the dreamer, why don't we find a time to try?"
Ancient One smiled at Shimizu.
"Forget it, I respect the old and love the young, under normal circumstances, I don't bother with old things over five hundred years old, I agree."
Shimizu planned to listen to what Ancient One said first.
At worst, just treat it as spending money to buy two magical artifacts.
But it's not entirely spending money, because if I really want to acquire it, the money spent is still in my hands in other forms of assets, with two magical artifacts attached.
In addition, he also really wants to beat up the planners of certain games.
"Okay, as for the things, I will open the artifact storage room for you later."
Ancient One smiled, waved at Mordo and others, and said loudly:
"Mordo, you take people to New York to investigate first, Woote and I have some things to explain."
"Yes, Master Ancient One."
Mordo glanced at Ancient One, then took a deep look at Shimizu, bowed, opened a portal, and left the Mirror Dimension with the apprentice mages.
Ancient One waved her hand and began to use illusion magic to cast a holographic slideshow.
In an instant, Shimizu seemed to be in the universe and starry sky, and his vision suddenly rose, the entire universe was compressed into a point, and then this point became a line.
This represents the timeline.
One timeline after another, intertwined with each other, but distinct.
"The multiverse is vast and boundless, not all dimensions are human-centered, and not all dimensions are as colorful as the universe we live in, such as Dormammu, the master of the Dark Dimension, was born from a flame-related dimension, is a member of the energy body life Faltine, until he was expelled and exiled by nature, he entered the Dark Dimension and controlled it."
Ancient One used illusion to show Shimizu the image of the Faltine race.
(Dormammu's mother, Sinifer)
"The treasure I want to tell you about is in a dimension called Antu Wahe, but now people tend to call it Altos Dimension, because of a person named Altos."
"Millions of years ago, Antu Wahe was a dimension with a highly developed technology and magic civilization, where people were good at summarizing the laws of nature, and from it they understood the Antu Wahe runes with the mysteries of nature, which is a kind of text similar to the Asgardian Rune runes, with the ability to carry power."
"Until one day, Antu Wahe gave birth to a great mage named Altos, who was eager to use runes to carry all the mysteries of knowledge, so he wrote a Book of Altos, and hoped to use it to master everything in the world, including the secrets of time and space, and use it to control the dimension, ascend the divine ladder, and become the god of the multiverse."
Shimizu looked at Ancient One's slideshow, his forehead full of black lines.
At the beginning, the picture Ancient One showed was very grand, but when introducing the Altos Dimension, it began to become abstract.
Playing in the form of cartoons.
Ancient One seemed to understand Shimizu's gaze.
"I haven't been to that dimension, how would I know what it looks like."
