This was true. He had indeed never seen a space gem, because after it was directly drawn into a card, it had been placed in the card space and had never been materialized.
"I understand." Ancient One looked at Kyle deeply, turned his right hand, and the eye-shaped pendant necklace on his hand disappeared out of thin air again.
Kyle looked at Ancient One's empty hand with a little regret, and said, "I wonder if Master Ancient One can give you a price for your magic device. I have a friend who really likes to collect these kinds of rare treasures."
This time it was Gu Yi's turn to be stunned. He shook his head and said, "This thing is priceless and only belongs to the right person."
"Then am I the destined one? Master, why don't you give me that magic device..." Kyle said more and more.
He now understood that Ancient One had sensed that the Space Gem had disappeared from the Cosmic Cube, and had come all the way to investigate.
Indeed, as the guardian of the earth, they are kind-hearted and will only take action against foreign invasions that are harmful enough to the foundation of the earth. There is no need to make him a "weak and ignorant" war hero who "defends the country".
"You have a murderous nature and are definitely not the one for you." Gu Yi refused and turned back as if he was about to leave.
Kyle was anxious, and quickly chased after him, trying to persuade him to stay, saying, "No! Master Ancient One, it doesn't matter whether you give me the magic device or not, how about you teach me magic? Or, on behalf of the country, I will treat you to a cup of tea before you leave?"
Just as Kyle was about to enter the three-meter card-drawing detection distance behind Ancient One, Ancient One simply waved his hand, and the fine and bright sparks of light spun into a wheel, tearing a circle of exit in the space in front of him.
Ancient One took a step forward and stepped into the magnificent and marvelous Martian circle, and the figure in white robe quickly disappeared from it.
"Wait!" Kyle narrowed his eyes, pedaled hard, and quickly jumped out of the Mars wheel...
On the busy streets of New York.
"Fuck!" An office worker carrying a briefcase and a newspaper was walking hurriedly. Just as he lowered his head to look at his watch, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out in front of him. He was so scared that he sat down on the ground, and the things in his hands fell to the ground.
"Who is it?" The man in the suit looked up with a curse, and when he saw the mysterious man wearing the familiar iconic night battle suit and looking around, his eyes subconsciously shifted to the New York Times spread on the road.
The cover of the newspaper's large banner showed a cold-blooded young man standing in front of the captured German presidential palace. His muscular figure in a black battle suit was exactly the same as the man who suddenly appeared on the street.
After a brief moment of stagnation, the man in the suit burst into an excited shout like a pig being slaughtered: "It's Major General Kyle! The real person!!"
"Huh?" Kyle, who had just come out of the mirror world, had not yet reacted. After a brief sensation of traveling through space, he was surprised to find that he was back to the bustling streets of New York, surrounded by dense and numerous pedestrians.
When the suit gentleman called out, the entire street fell silent, and countless pairs of surprised and fiery eyes focused on Kyle at the intersection.
"It's broken!" This was Kyle's first thought, and he also realized that he was now fully covered in the Venom suit on the battlefield...
His second thought was:
"Old woman, I will remember this mistake!"
Chapter 87 Cosmic Variables
"Really General Kyle?!"
In just a few seconds, the streets of New York were in an uproar.
The passers-by around Kyle, regardless of gender, age or status, walked forward excitedly after seeing him, and soon formed an exaggerated wave of people, surging forward madly, wave after wave.
"Damn Ancient One, can't the exit be more low-key..." Kyle gritted his teeth and rushed to the commercial building next to him without any hesitation. With a leap using his super jumping ability, he jumped directly onto the sign on the second floor of the commercial building.
[Climbing] Skill activated!
He stepped directly towards the wall above. The soles of his feet seemed to be covered with a layer of faint black light with extremely strong adsorption power. After stepping, his feet were firmly fixed on the wall of the building, so that walking on the wall was like walking on flat ground.
With just a few simple jumps and sprints, the retreat and escape movements were smooth and seamless.
It took Kyle less than three seconds to successfully climb up the ten-meter-high mezzanine structure of the commercial building, and he quickly disappeared behind the wall.
Only the crossroads below the commercial buildings were jammed with people and vehicles, and countless fanatical shouts resounded through the sky above New York city.
Half a minute later.
Kyle, who had transformed himself into a venom-like office worker, walked down another street with lingering fear. At this time, many passers-by had just reacted and were talking about rushing towards the direction where he had just exposed himself. Even police cars were dispatched on the road to maintain order.
"It's General Kyle. He just showed up on the pedestrian street of the commercial building!"
"Where is it?! I want General Kyle's autograph!"
"Get lost, General Kyle is mine!"
"General Kyle was so quick. I heard he climbed up a ten-meter-high floor and ran away."
"You must have heard it wrong! My friend said that he jumped directly onto the top floor of a commercial building and disappeared!"
"Brother, the commercial building seems to be a hundred meters high, but since it is General Kyle, maybe he can really do it..."
Kyle listened to the excited discussions of passers-by and couldn't help but smile bitterly, almost pulling the brim of his hat down to his sunglasses.
In this age when there were almost no idol stars, as the first superhero and an officer who was a symbol of national conquest and power during World War II, the people's fanatical worship of him reached an unprecedented level.
"This has its pros and cons..." Kyle touched his chin. Initially, he just wanted to gain a foothold in this Marvel world, build a career, and then slowly think about how to deal with future villains.
Now it seems that the fame of this superhero is a bit too much, making it impossible for him to keep a low profile.
"After World War II is over, it will be time to consider the retirement of heroes. Otherwise, even personal actions will attract the attention of various organizations around the world." Kyle thought secretly, recalling the deep fear and powerlessness he had felt when facing Ancient One just now.
"Ancient One, it shouldn't be that simple, trust me. Before you get the skills to master the Space Gem, you can't easily take it out of the card space and use it."
"Also, the power created by the Ancient One, the magical abilities of the monks of Kamar-Taj, I must try to draw them in the future!"
Kyle made a secret decision, his blue eyes flashing, and he strode away from the noisy street area behind him and walked towards the street where his home was.
At this time, Kamar-Taj, a hidden residence opened up in a building space somewhere.
The bright sparks spun into a wheel, revealing a circular tunnel of space that people could walk through. With his hands behind his back, Gu Yi stepped out.
"Master Ancient One."
In the hall that looked like a dojo, a black male monk had been waiting there for a long time, and he bowed respectfully to Gu Yi who had returned.
Gu Yi smiled and nodded.
The black monk said with a hint of doubt: "The Master has not left Kamar-Taj for nearly a hundred years. It is a rare trip for a major general of a country."
"Major General Kyle, he is not an ordinary person." Ancient One frowned slightly and said softly: "His body seems to have merged with a symbiotic life form from an alien planet. Even if you use magic to read his thoughts, you can only hear the chaotic voice of the symbiotic life form."
The black monk said sternly: "Alien life form? Do you need me to deal with it?"
"No need. That symbiotic life form does not have enough ability to threaten the earth. Also, you have to know that the enemies we really need to be vigilant against are." Ancient One reminded him, and then walked out of the gym hall.
"Kyle from the United States? If I have a chance to go to the United States, I must give him a good try." The black monk muttered to himself and memorized the name in his heart.
Ancient One came to an underground library, put the Eye of Agamotto into a book-shaped storage box, placed it on the bookshelf together with those forbidden magic books, and sealed it with magic chains.
There was one other odd thing about Kayle that she hadn't told any of the mages.
