The California government undoubtedly launched a thorough search for Valmont and the Black Hand Gang he led.
News of the Fire Demon's revival also spread like a hurricane to every corner of the world.
Ambitious individuals in the Marvel Universe, hidden Dark Magic Warlocks, criminal organizations, and Evil Cults all began to stir.
It was as if an invisible hand was stirring up chaos.
The Sacred Timeline's altered state also alerted the Ancient One.
"Why did this brief astral projection…"
"Lead to such a terrifying crisis upon my return?"
The Ancient One suddenly opened her eyes, and the endless starry universe swirled within her pupils, only to vanish in an instant, like an illusion.
Buzz.
The bald, gleaming Ancient One suddenly formed a hand seal, and the Eye of Agamotto, the artifact floating on her chest, immediately burst forth with a dazzling, eye-catching light.
A verdant, vibrant gem immediately plunged her into a mysterious and wondrous realm.
Countless timelines appeared before the Ancient One.
The past and future, which were originally clear, had become a void, all blank at this moment.
"The Ancient One."
"A distinguished guest is visiting."
"The visitor calls himself Luo Pei!"
Outside the door.
A burly, muscular Black man gave a gentle, gentlemanly reminder.
Unbeknownst to him, the Ancient One, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, felt a surge of turbulent emotions in her chest, causing her to leap to her feet.
Panic, fury, nostalgia, and reminiscence all surged through her.
"Dragon Fighter Luo Pei…"
"He's already ascended to the Great Heaven…"
"Why, after a thousand years, would someone impersonate him?"
The Ancient One composed herself slightly, then tidied her attire and pushed open the door to the Kamar-Taj secret realm.
Suddenly, her eyes glazed over.
A tall figure in ancient Eastern attire came into view.
It perfectly matched the image in her memory!
Even the smell and magical fluctuations were exactly the same!
"Senior Brother Luo Pei?"
The Ancient One asked in surprise.
"Didn't you ascend to the Great Heaven?"
"And join the ranks of the immortals?"
"According to the agreement of the Council of Gods, you are not allowed to descend to the mortal realm easily..."
The moment she spoke, she suddenly realized something unusual.
The Dragon Fighter, Luo Pei, had a lifelike rat tattoo on his chest!
The Rat Talisman!
It could animate inanimate objects.
This was a magical artifact left behind by the Fire Demon.
No wonder the Dragon Fighter had reappeared.
It was all thanks to the Rat Talisman.
"Ancient One."
"The Fire Demon has returned, but his whereabouts remain a mystery. I need your help."
"I must reseal him so I can rest again!"
The Dragon Fighter's expression was grave, his gaze resolute, and he spoke with a firm voice.
The two Sorcerer Supremes met again, a truly epic encounter.
However, even the Ancient One, who controlled the Infinity Stones, couldn't grasp the chaotic and inverted Sacred Timeline.
The only one who could locate the Fire Demon, Professor X, hadn't recovered from the excruciating burns and couldn't use Cerebro.
Even if he could, Professor X probably wouldn't provoke Shendu again! After all, Professor X founded the Academy for Gifted Youngsters and needed to consider the students' safety.
The Shadow Ninjas, who came and went without a trace, had recently appeared frequently near Westchester, New York, with no intention of concealing their actions.
Even without an active attack, it caused widespread panic.
Cyclops, the leader of the X-Men squad, was having a terrible time.
At this moment, Cyclops finally understood Professor X's worries.
He really shouldn't have offended Shendu!
"Scott."
"Tell all the students to stay in their dorms."
The bald old man, paralyzed in both legs and seated in a wheelchair, suddenly looked grave and looked towards an area at the end of his vision.
He saw a tall and imposing young man from the East, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, actually stepping directly into the gates of Xavier's Mansion.
Charles Xavier.
That's Professor X's real name.
Thanks to his family's inherited wealth, he was able to take in so many mutant orphans and keep the X-Men operational.
Originally, Professor X and the World Security Council Secretary-General had a subtle understanding.
However, due to the resurrection of the ancient Fire Demon, the balance was gone!
Sentinel Services subsequently launched a series of countermeasures, forcing Professor X to comply and hand over the Talismans.
"It seems there's no need to communicate with the Council Secretary-General," Professor X said with a wry smile. "Shendu is here, and the Academy for Gifted Youngsters is about to be engulfed in flames."
Shendu?
Shendu's here?!
The entire X-Men team's expressions changed upon hearing this.
Immediately, everyone saw the handsome young man strolling towards them.
He looked like a cool male model from a fashion magazine, without any hint of menace, appearing harmless instead.
"This is Shendu?"
"Or an envoy representing Shendu?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Then, they saw a thin and frail figure walk towards the handsome young man they'd never met.
John Allerdyce!
Codename: Pyro.
He has the ability to control fire! However, the downside is that John Allerdyce can't create fire, so he must always carry a lighter to use his abilities effectively.
He's a troublemaker at the Academy for Gifted Youngsters.
He's rebellious and has a fiery temper.
"Quick, stop Pyro!"
Professor X tapped his wheelchair, reminding everyone.
Because his injuries hadn't healed, Professor X didn't dare to use his abilities forcefully.
Otherwise, it would lead to further tearing of the brain's nerves, increasing the risk of illness.
Even if Professor X possessed the Dog Talisman, which symbolized eternal youth and immunity to fatal harm, that didn't mean he could escape the torment of disease.
Only the combination of the Dog and Horse Talismans would truly grant immortality! ...
