Chapter 990: Fate’s Favor, Teaching the Patronus Spell in a Dream
“There are countless people with super powers in this world, and a magician who cannot use magic is like a cavalryman without a warhorse; his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Even if I gave myself the identities of a regenerator and alchemist, it would only allow me to rationalize the use of physical strength and alchemical items, but it could only solve some minor problems.
But big troubles cannot be solved by physical strength and alchemical props alone, such as Magneto, Apocalypse, and the many demons hidden in the darkness.
So I need an agent, one who can use magic and protect me to a certain extent.
I was originally planning to choose one of my followers, but you appeared in my sight in time, and your ability barely met my requirements, so... you became my follower. "
Little Naughty nodded, not quite understanding, but a question popped up in his mind, "I can't help you with anything now."
"I don't need your help now." Aaron waved his hand and said, "According to the contract, I will not assign you tasks that are beyond your ability.
So your first priority is to stay in the mutant school honestly, eat, drink, and play every day, but don't slack off in your studies."
"So simple?" asked the naughty boy in surprise.
"When I need you, you must respond to my call at any time."
"Like an undercover agent in a movie?"
"You can't say that. You are at most a rookie right now." Aaron said very bluntly, "But I will also cultivate your abilities and teach you magic."
Hearing this, the little naughty boy suddenly became excited. This surprise came so unexpectedly!
Magic! No one is uninterested in magic.
"When will you teach me?"
"When you go to bed every night."
"Isn't this inconvenient?" Little Naughty looked at Aaron in doubt. Going to the girls' dormitory late at night? He didn't look like a pervert!
Aaron rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "I wouldn't go to the girls' dormitory so late at night. I wouldn't do such a dirty and tasteless thing."
"So you want me to sneak out and look for you?"
“That’s not the case.
When you go to sleep every night, I will pull you into your dreams, and you can learn magic in your dreams."
"Can you do this, too?"
"Of course I can, who do you think I am?
Every three months I would call my followers to hold a meeting in the spiritual world and obtain some intelligence through them.
Otherwise, I would spend most of my time at home, and my understanding of the world might not be as good as yours!
By the way, the next meeting will be in a month and a half. I will notify you then so that you can attend it in time."
"Um...how many followers do you have?"
"Not many, only eleven if you are included." Aaron counted on his fingers, "Ak Moens, Ramon Lancelot, Naga Shatir, Ger, Lorelai, and Slytherin were arranged by me on Bohart Star.
If one day we can no longer live on Earth, that planet can be a fallback.
Besides them, I also have some arrangements on Earth.
Frant Custer, a former member of the Marine Corps, now reports directly to Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and specializes in doing some inexplicably dangerous jobs for him.
Bucky Barnes, a former member of the Howling Commandos, is a contemporary of Captain America Steve Rogers and his life-long brother. He is now a temporary worker for the Sentinel Special Service, responsible for capturing those unscrupulous mutants.
Bruce Banner, you should have heard of the Avengers!"
"The Hulk also signed a contract with you?" Little Naughty asked in disbelief, "He is also your follower?"
Aaron shrugged noncommittally and continued, "Jane Volturi, former vampire noble, is now my personal maid."
"Jane is a vampire?" The little rascal swallowed nervously. He felt like he had survived a disaster when he thought about how close he had been to a vampire before.
"Don't make a fuss. She signed the same contract as you, and you will be colleagues in the same group from now on.
Also, you don't have to worry, Jane has gradually gotten rid of her vampire identity and can 100% suppress her desire for blood, so you won't become her food."
The little rascal forced a stiff smile, "I hope so!
By the way, isn't the composition of the Gaius Group a bit complicated?"
"It has to be complicated, so that we can collect intelligence!" Aaron said as a matter of course, "SHIELD can get in touch with extraordinary events at the first time, the Sentinel Special Service can effectively obtain information about mutants, vampires can keep abreast of the movements of the dark world, and the Avengers... Dr. Banner has a relatively high degree of freedom, and can transmit some intelligence to the Avengers when necessary.
As for you... a rookie among magicians, the key is to study hard."
Little Naughty: ...
"Excuse me, why did they become your followers?"
“Frank’s entire family was killed and their home was destroyed, and I gave him the direction for revenge.
Bucky was brainwashed by Hydra and killed many innocent people. I helped him remove the brainwashing program and gave him a chance to atone for his sins.
Banner was made because if Hulk got out of control it would cause a disaster, so I had him reconcile with Hulk and be able to control the transformation freely.
I redeemed Jane from the Volturi family with a drop of vampire blood, but I gave her a new life."
After hearing this, Aaron's image in Little Naughty's heart suddenly became taller, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief.
He is definitely an egoist, but it can be seen that he is also a kind person.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"Nothing."
"Okay, I wish you a good dream tonight." Aaron said with interest, "Fox, send her back!"
The moment the words fell, the sound of a phoenix was heard, followed by a ball of fire that enveloped the little rascal and took her out of the divination house.
Crunch!
The door on the right suddenly opened, and Hela walked over slowly, sipping a glass of juice.
"Congratulations, you've fooled another one."
"This is fate's favor." Aaron said mysteriously.
“Haha!” Hela sneered. “What a joke. Gaius actually believes in fate?”
“This is fate’s favor to her.
Also, let me correct you, it’s not that I don’t believe in fate, I just believe that the fate that is unfavorable to me is feudal superstition.”
Hela: ...
......
Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters.
As the night deepened, the naughty boy, who was full of worries, also fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the surrounding environment had changed drastically.
The bed, pillow, dormitory, school, and even the entire night sky disappeared, replaced by an endless sea of golden clouds.
"Wow!" The little rascal stared at the fantastic scene in front of him, with golden rays of light falling vertically from the gaps in the clouds, and every ray of light was synonymous with beauty.
Before her mutant powers awakened, she made travel plans for herself and researched many famous attractions. She was sure that the scene before her could never be seen on Earth.
"Welcome to my spiritual world." Aaron's voice came from behind. He was wearing a black wizard robe, and a smile was faintly visible in his eyes.
"how do you feel?"
"It's beautiful, the kind of beauty that is hard to describe." Little Naughty said incoherently, "If I'm not dreaming, I want to stay here forever."
Hearing this, Aaron smiled with satisfaction, "You will realize this wish, because this is my future kingdom of God."
Little Naughty was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this a dream?"
"The dream is just a convenience for me to guide your consciousness." Aaron explained patiently, "This world is derived from my spiritual space. Although it is only an illusory world and cannot descend into reality, I will have the ability to transform it into a real world after I become a god.
And I will also create excellent lives in this world, making it a truly magical country that belongs only to me."
"The Creator of the Mind?" The little rascal suddenly realized something. "Is that what it means?"
"Well, you're smarter than I thought."
"What about the Lord of Shadows?"
"You are more curious than I thought. My other followers don't have so many questions.
But I don't mind satisfying your curiosity, but don't tell anyone else." Aaron smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
With a muffled sound, wisps of dark red mist suddenly appeared above the sea of clouds.
The light was gradually swallowed up by the fog, and a dark atmosphere filled the air. The whole world seemed to be covered by a layer of haze.
Roar!
Countless dark creatures flew out from the void, swimming freely, and their scarlet eyes made Xiao Taoqi feel cold all over.
"What kind of monsters are these?"
"They are the natives of the Shadow Dimension." Aaron explained concisely, and then he withdrew the power of the Shadow Dimension, and his spiritual world became fantastic and colorful again.
"According to the intelligence I have obtained in the past few years, at the beginning of the universe, the magic power was completely divided up by the ancient gods.
Except for a very small number of gifted races who are born with the qualifications to practice magic, the rest of life who want to learn magic can only contact the ancient gods through special means and borrow their power.
But magic is not borrowed for free, it is only natural to return it.
If the creditor is kind, he will not ask you to pay it back for a while, such as Kamar-Taj on Earth.
The wizards of Kamar-Taj worship Vishanti, and they protect the earth from magical harm. As long as the borrowed amount is not too large, they are acceptable ways to repay the debt.
But upright ancient gods are only a minority after all, and most creditors are rather black-hearted. Borrowing magic from them is like borrowing usury.
The price may be a certain organ of the body, one of the five senses. The benefits will be compounded and compounded. If you delay it for too long, your life will be slowly harvested and your soul will become their meal. "
"My life and soul seem to be in your hands!" The little rascal had a sad face and seemed confused about his future.
"You are disrespectful." Aaron snorted in mock displeasure. "You can call me by my name when there are outsiders around, but what should you call me when there are no outsiders around?"
The little rascal immediately chose to follow his heart, "Master."
"You know what's good for you." Aaron smiled with satisfaction and continued, "None of the ancient gods are easy to deal with. The weakest are the Heavenly Fathers, and there are also some powerful single universe-level ones.
In addition to the ancient gods, there are also some demons who occupy special dimensions, also called lords of dimensions.
For example, God occupies heaven, Satan occupies hell, and Dormammu occupies darkness...
There are strong and weak Lords of Dimensions. The strong ones can even make the Ancient Gods fear them, while the weak ones are probably only at the level of Sub-Fathers. "
"And your master, Aaron Gaius, controls the Shadow Dimension. All the dark creatures in the Shadow Dimension are my people. They are naturally worthy of the title of Shadow Ruler."
"I see."
"Your curiosity has been satisfied, it's time to get back to business!"
The little rascal came back to his senses and nodded excitedly, "What kind of magic should I learn?"
"I know a lot of magic." Aaron said with a little pride, then took out a black wand and pointed it casually at the sky, "Let me give you a simple demonstration."
"Misty!"
Wisps of white mist flowed out from the tip of the magic wand and covered the entire sky in the blink of an eye, greatly reducing visibility.
Aaron waved his wand again, and the clouds and mist instantly dissipated, "This is a spell, a spell to control the weather.
The right spell, a good wand, and enough magic power can instantly cover a city in fog.
But at my level, I don’t need a wand or a spell, I only need powerful magic to change the celestial phenomena.”
"Me, can I do it too?" the little rascal asked immediately.
"You can't. Although I have sealed a lot of magic power in your body, it takes talent to cast spells without a wand or silently, and you obviously don't have such a talent."
"I've thought about it carefully. There's only one spell you need to learn."
"What spell?"
"The Patronus Charm! An ancient and very difficult super defensive magic."
"Eh?" The little rascal wondered if he had heard it wrongly. "I'm just a beginner! Is this something I can learn?"
"You will learn it sooner or later if you study slowly. But you must never use the Patronus Charm unless it is absolutely necessary."
"why?"
Aaron shrugged, "I'll show you how."
As soon as the words fell, the shadow dimension descended on the top of the mountains again. Countless dark creatures seemed to understand what their master meant, and they all bared their fangs and pounced on him.
"Call the gods to protect you!"
Dazzling silver holy light flickered and released from the front end of the magic wand, and a transparent raven flew out from the light, supporting a large sacred area. All dark creatures were isolated outside the area.
The next moment, the raven made a low cry, spread its wings and circled in the air.
The silver holy light began to spread outward layer by layer, creating ripples in the space.
The dark creatures, however, seemed to have seen their natural enemies and fled madly into the distance.
However, their escape speed was obviously not as fast as the power of the guardian god. After being caught up by the holy light, they turned into black gas and quickly dissipated. The sky that was covered by darkness also returned to its normal color.
