Chapter 373 - 370 | Working Part-Time Is Impossible.
"Luke, thank you!"
Howard's soul was stuffed into its body. When he opened his eyes, he immediately hugged Luke.
"Provoking Mephisto, the Lord of Hell is also a talent."
The latter was speechless. Every time he took Howard out, he would inevitably get some unexpected gains.
Last time in Paris, it was the Corvinus family and Selene.
When they arrived in Las Vegas, without fail, he met Mephisto.
"Since I met you, my luck has been really bad."
Howard threw back the blame.
He thought that if it weren't for Luke, he wouldn't be a trouble magnet.
"If you could restrain the impulse to have fun and control your lower body, there wouldn't have been so many accidents."
Luke cast a contemptuous look. He still remembered the bloody case in Paris caused by Howard's date.
Howard smiled shyly and promised, "I'm determined to devote my energy to science in the future, and at best, I'll occasionally indulge in … sex."
After two lessons, it really left some kind of trauma in him.
"You'd better find a way to get married and shoulder that important responsibility."
Luke smiled. He wanted to see Tony Stark born.
Although he had seen him once in that other world, it was the middle-aged Iron Man.
"Marriage is the grave of love. If you walk in easily, you'll never get out."
Howard shook his head. According to the mainstream values of the Land of the Free, getting married late wasn't a big deal.
But after marriage, they had to maintain faithfulness in public at least and couldn't play outside arbitrarily.
"Marriage is the grave of love. So, if you don't get married, wouldn't you die without a burial? "
Luke mentioned an old saying and whispered, "I have a feeling that you will find your grave soon."
Howard didn't believe it. He was still a staunch bachelor.
"I've already told Mephisto. You can have fun in this hotel, and I'll take care of the bill."
Luke said a few words and opened a portal to Kamar Taj.
"Really? Then can I … talk to those sexy dealers?"
Howard, who just said that he would focus all his energy on scientific research, was instantly excited.
"No."
Luke gave an answer and walked straight into the portal.
Sure enough, it was even more unreliable to expect a pervert to change its nature than talking to the devil about following the rules.
"Not afraid of being drained…"
Luke muttered.
He ignored Howard's question, mainly because of the other's body.
The succubi of Hell were recognized as 'juicers', which were much more terrible than a female vampire.
Not to mention Howard's small stature, even Captain America, a big strong man, would be squeezed dry by those legs, greatly injuring his vitality.
This wasn't nonsense. The second-generation Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, had fallen to hell once.
While he mowed down the devils, at the same time, he didn't forget to solve his physical needs.
As a result, he met an adult succubus, then —— Johnny was squeezed to the point that he couldn't even release Hellfire, almost ending up being eaten.
Therefore, Luke turned down Howard, but it was actually for his sake.
Looking around on Earth, the only one who could compete with a succubus was probably Superman.
"But I'm a decent person."
Luke stepped into Kamar Taj. 'And, how could a Sorcerer Supreme sleep with a succubus?'
'If words get out, I might be expelled from the sanctum by the Vishanti.'
He could imagine a small dramatic scene happening at that time ——
'On the contrary, a young Sorcerer Supreme in cahoots with Hell would be banished from Kamar Taj!'
'Yes, leaving Kamar Taj, there would be no place for him in the magical world. Let's see how I will live from now on!'
Luke smiled crookedly and recited cliché lines ——
'Kamar Taj is looking for death!'
Then, 'The four-dimensional demons are in control', 'this is a slap to the blind Vishanti'. Being the Superman of the Marvel Universe, he could simply say anything he wanted.
"What are you doing standing at the door, smirking?"
The Ancient One, who had returned from a business trip and was back on duty, asked curiously.
From her perspective, Luke seemed to be thinking of something delightful, and his mouth was smiling crookedly.
"It's nothing, it's nothing…"
Luke withdrew his distracting thoughts and waved his hand.
"Master Ancient One, you weren't in Kamar Taj before; where did you go?"
He and the Ancient One of this world were old friends.
Entering the room, he poured himself a cup of freshly brewed tea.
There was no constraint in his actions.
"You have become the Sorcerer Supreme. Don't you know what I was doing on a business trip a while ago?"
The Ancient One's gaze lingered on Luke for a moment, her eyes flickering slightly, seemingly a bit surprised.
She already had the idea of passing the position of Sorcerer Supreme to the other party.
Judging from the qualifications, potential, and work style, Superman was the right choice.
Just as the guardian of Earth and the leader of the Kamar Taj, becoming a Sorcerer Supreme still depended on their nature and heart.
Luke, a chaotic neutral, it was difficult for him to get the Vishanti's approval.
Then again, Stephen Strange, the son of destiny who wasn't born yet, was destined to take over the Sorcerer Supreme position.
She could only dream of early retirement.
"I'm just a temporary agent. This seat will be handed over to Strange sooner or later."
Luke was very compelling. The Vishanti most likely wanted something when choosing him.
"Ah, although I don't know what happened to the universe where you became the Sorcerer Supreme, your thinking should be correct."
The Ancient One said in a slow, gentle voice.
"Vishanti has … requirements for one's character. A guy like you, who doesn't obey the rules and often does amazing things, will probably have a hard time getting past Agamotto, who's an old-fashioned guy. His nature would clash with yours."
As the Ancient One said so about her teacher, there were no inhibitions in her words.
"Indeed, he looked very reluctant."
Luke recalled Agamotto's tone and expression at that time, which vaguely revealed a sense of helplessness.
"Don't worry too much; just think of it as a deal. There are many advantages to being the Sorcerer Supreme. Besides the power given by Vishanti, you also have the right to command the Temple of the Three and access to the full power of Kamar Taj, including the magical weapons."
The Ancient One picked up the Eye of Agamotto hanging around her neck and said in a tempting tone, "Theoretically, this could also belong to you."
"I can't afford it. Master Ancient One, you'd better wear it yourself."
Luke didn't even think about it and simply refused.
The Ancient One made it clear. She saw that he had inherited the Sorcerer Supreme position from Earth-91, so she also wanted to take this opportunity to retire.
If he was greedy enough to take the Time Stone in the Eye of Agamotto, he would have to assume the responsibility of guarding the Earth.
'No, thank you!'
When the time came, he would have to act like a firefighter. Whenever the Avengers were in trouble, they would have to call him to solve it. If the Earth were on fire, they would have to call him for help.
Before crossing over to this world, he was already a 9 to 5 social slave. After crossing, he was expected to continue to work for the Vishanti?! No, Thank you!
