The Ancient One turned her gaze towards Fang Mo and said, "I am open to negotiating conditions as well."
"Are the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj incapable of affording it?" Fang Mo replied, placing his hand on his forehead. "No, what I an is... Look, I'm not a malevolent person. I simply wish to touch it. What harm could co from that? I believe my sincerity is evident, right?"
"So, according to you, this attitude qualifies as sincerity?" inquired the Ancient One.
Fang Mo couldn't help but scratch his head and responded, "Madam Ancient One, I don't think you want your disciple, Strange, to face any trouble, do you? I hope you carefully consider my suggestion and allow to touch your Ti Stone. Please don't underestimate ."
"That doesn't sound very friendly," remarked the Ancient One.
Upon hearing this, a perplexed expression crossed the Ancient One's face. "But are you absolutely certain that you only want to touch the Ti Stone and not take it away from ?"
"If possible, of course, I would like to borrow it for a few days," Fang Mo shrugged, not lying. "I want to make a wish using the Infinity Stones. But I've heard that you need to collect all six of them. Rest assured, I will keep my word and definitely return it to you once I'm finished."
"Are you sure?" the Ancient One looked at Fang Mo and asked.
"I'm sure," Fang Mo nodded. Understanding the usage of the Ti Stone was complicated, and one had to learn the related spells to fully comprehend it. However, Fang Mo was genuinely too lazy to delve into those intricate matters. This preference could be observed from the ga itself; he particularly disliked complex and tedious modules.
Even if he truly desired the Infinity Stones, Fang Mo's first choice would undoubtedly be the Power Stone.
Leaving aside the other reasons, it was straightforward and direct. Simply embed it into a weapon, roll up his sleeves, and get down to business.
However, what surprised Fang Mo was the Ancient One's sudden shake of the head.
"I have observed the future multiple tis," the Ancient One spoke slowly. "With over ninety percent probability, you do not return the Ti Stone, and you even leave this world with it."
"What?!" Fang Mo was taken aback. "No, why would I do that?"
"I cannot see the specific images," continued the Ancient One. "As a ruler of a dinsion, you control a mysterious and ancient unknown world. The laws of ti do not apply to you. The reason I glimpsed those futures was that I saw the futures of other individuals connected to you, not yours."
"I'm a ruler of a dinsion, that's right," Fang Mo muttered, his eyes twitching. He essentially owned the entire Minecraft world as a backstage. Upon careful consideration, it seed to align with the setting of the Lord of Dinsions. He had simply never thought about it before.
"The last scene I can see is you shattering Strange's confidence and courage," the Ancient One slowly continued. "You take the Ti Stone from the Eye of Agamotto and place it inside a pocket watch. Since then, no subsequent Sorcerer Supre possesses the Ti Stone."
"Huh? A pocket watch?" Fang Mo was montarily stunned but quickly grasped the idea.
Yes, that was the equivalent exchange item in the Equivalent Exchange mod.
The Watch of Flowing Ti, an artifact said to "control ti at will," resembled items like the Eye of Agamotto.
The principle behind this object likely involved interfering with the curvature of ti through the density and energy of dark matter. However, it is worth ntioning that this item differed from the Void Ring. To fully utilize its functionality, EMC energy needed to be consud.
Fang Mo speculated for a mont, thinking that this might be the reason he acquired the Ti Stone.
Perhaps he later obtained the Watch of Flowing Ti artifact but, since he hadn't unlocked the Equivalent Exchange mod itself, he lacked the EMC value. Consequently, he scoured the world in search of sothing that could substitute for the EMC value to power the pocket watch. In the end, he discovered that the Ti Stone seed capable of fulfilling that role, so he simply used it as a battery.
If that were the case, then he genuinely had to take the Ti Stone.
However, the Ancient One would undoubtedly not allow it.
It wasn't because she was being obstinate or anything, but the Ti Stone did hold imnse significance. In the Doctor Strange storyline, without the Ti Stone, Stephen Strange wouldn't have possessed the qualifications to negotiate with Dormammu. In such a scenario, the entire Earth would have been consud by the Dark Dinsion, resulting in the end of the world.
"Well, how about this..."
Fang Mo pondered for a mont and then proposed his suggestion to the Ancient One beside him, "What if we reach a compromise?"
"Let's hear it," the Ancient One responded.
"You bring out the Ti Stone and allow to study it," Fang Mo suggested. "As a cost, I won't take the Ti Stone for now, and I'll let Strange use it against Dormammu."
"And then you approach Strange to acquire the Stone?" the Ancient One looked at Fang Mo. "You know I won't live much longer, so you plan to go to Strange after my passing to obtain it."
"Well, what do you suggest, then?" Fang Mo shrugged. "The Ti Stone is important to as well, but as the Sorcerer Supre, it's your treasure. I don't want to forcibly take it... But you sorcerers who play with the Ti Stone always enjoy negotiating conditions, right? That works for . We can discuss and establish a price when the ti cos."
"But let clarify beforehand, I'm not Dormammu. When I talk about negotiating conditions, I an a proper negotiation. If you attempt to manipulate ti loops, don't bla for retaliating."
"No, you've misunderstood."
After hearing Fang Mo's words, the Ancient One suddenly shook her head. "I have no intention of making things difficult for you."
"Oh?" Fang Mo looked at her in surprise. "What do you an?"
"Since the mont you arrived in this world, I have already noticed you," the Ancient One spoke slowly. "I know that you control an ancient and unknown Dinsion. Initially, I thought you were like other dinsional demons, wanting to devour and destroy this world, and I was planning to expel you as soon as possible. However, for so reason, I felt a sense of unease."
"So I used the Eye of Agamotto to peer into the future. Do you know what I saw?"
"What did you see?" Fang Mo grew curious.
"It was revenge from another world," the Ancient One replied. "Once you are killed, banished, or imprisoned by or anyone or anything else, you will unleash terrible revenge upon this world."
"In all the futures I observed, you subrge the land, shatter the sky, tunnel through the Earth's core, cause a collision between the Moon and the Earth, and even bring so kind of terrifying bacteria from that world, along with indescribable entities capable of collapsing the universe."
"Neither the Sanctum's barriers nor ti loops can prevent you from departing or descending into this world."
"The planets of the entire universe beco contaminated, everything crumbles, and no one can withstand your hostility and rampage. Your atrocities are known from Xandar to the Kree civilization. Every ti you are killed or defeated, when you return, you grow even stronger, carrying more seething malice and hatred."
"Eventually, even the Celestials, Cosmic Entities, and 'others' beco incapable of matching your power."
