The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 496: Supreme Mage

Until this moment, Zhu Haomiao finally understood the seriousness of the situation...

However, he just wanted a convenient power for mobility and didn’t want to involve himself in too much Cause and Effect, much less bear responsibility!

In a daze, Zhu Haomiao wondered if the Ancient One had some sort of scheme?

Like trying to groom him as the next "Supreme Mage"?

Seeing me, Stephen Strange doesn’t seem so appealing anymore, right?

Secretly complaining, Zhu Haomiao suddenly had a plan.

No way, I don’t want to be stuck on Earth as a babysitter, that’s another price!

Gotta think of a way to leave!

This broken Supreme Mage position, let whoever wants it get it!

With determination, Zhu Haomiao thought about finding an excuse to slip away, and not long after, a perfect opportunity appeared before him.

"According to the latest news, the chairman of Stark Industries, Tony Stark, was recently attacked by terrorists and disappeared in Afghanistan..."

Seeing the news on TV, Zhu Haomiao’s eyes lit up, and he unhesitatingly found Wang An.

"I have matters to attend to, need to go out for a while!"

"Huh? Where are you going? When will you be back?"

"The return date is uncertain, I’ll come back to see you when I can. Oh, say goodbye to the Ancient One for me."

Casually waving, Zhu Haomiao turned to leave, but suddenly felt a tightness on his wrist.

He looked back to see the Ancient One, neither male nor female, elegantly and divinely beautiful, holding his hand, with clear eyes and the Eye of Agamotto on the chest emitting a flickering green light.

"Did you see something?"

"......"

A moment of hesitation gave the Ancient One the answer, who sighed softly.

"This is an important fate node, everything in the future starts from here, any slight disturbance might lead to a collapse of the outcome..."

"You promised me you wouldn’t mess around."

Zhu Haomiao: "......"

After several seconds of silence, the black-clad youth looked sincerely into the Ancient One’s eyes.

"I’m just going to watch the fun, won’t interfere too much with the evolution of fate. Maybe, I’ll be able to correct some uncontrollable factors..."

Upon hearing Zhu Haomiao’s suggestive words, the Ancient One’s heart was moved, and after a few seconds of hesitation, gently released his wrist.

"Don’t betray my trust."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao merely chuckled and stretched out his hand: "A gentleman’s word."

Clap~

Gripping the black-clad youth’s hand, the Ancient One solemnly nodded: "Swift horse with whip."

Buzz~

The Eye of Agamotto once again burst forth with mysterious green light, its complex mechanical structure swiftly rotating before coming together with a crisp sound.

Having reached an agreement, Zhu Haomiao smiled and bade farewell, turning around as his wide cloak gently unfolded into a pair of magnificent black wings.

He crouched, pushed off with his legs, and his wings suddenly flapped downward, with a bang, a milky white disc-shaped sonic boom exploded above Zhu Haomiao’s head, his whole person instantly disappearing into the depths of the clouds.

Behind him, a group of mages from Kama Taiji stood wide-eyed and speechless, some of whom had believed in Christianity instinctively crossed themselves on their chests.

"God, what did I just see?"

"A Fallen Angel?"

......

On the other side, the Ancient One looked complexly towards the clouds, speechless for a long time.

Behind him, Wang An quickly recovered from his shock and, after a moment of hesitation, couldn’t help but lean in to whisper.

"Master, does he also have the ability to see the future?"

From the conversation between the two just now, Wang An had already keenly sensed the key point.

Zhu Haomiao sensed a major turning point in fate, which is why he suddenly wanted to leave.

Gazing afar at the sky, the Ancient One sighed calmly.

"I don’t know."

"You don’t know?!!"

Are there things even an Supreme Mage doesn’t know in this universe?!!

"He is the Anomaly, a ’variable’ not belonging to this universe, a monster stirring the long river of time..."

"Not only him, but many small ’variables’ have descended upon Earth..."

Speaking of this, the Ancient One slightly furrowed his brow, murmuring to himself.

"I hope he truly can correct these uncontrollable ’variables’..."

............

Flapping his wings, energy surged through Zhu Haomiao’s body, and he transformed into a black light ripping through the atmosphere, with a sonic boom like thunder.

Spirit, Essence, and Qi seemed to be consumed like a flood, but Zhu Haomiao had no qualms, unable to resist letting out a joyful laugh. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Hahahaha, thrilling!"

A sharp turn, diving down from ten thousand meters high, followed by rapidly rising, Zhu Haomiao was like a child with a new toy, eager to play and try it.

Buzz~

Suddenly, a chilling sensation appeared on his back, Zhu Haomiao’s heart stirred, instantly realizing someone had locked onto him.

A few dozen seconds later, a long missile chased from behind, the rapidly sprinting black-clad youth was surprised.

Thunderbolt 15?

Swish~

With fingers like swords, a blur of Sword Qi shot out, precisely hitting the guidance head of the missile.

"Shattered Moon"!

Boom!

A violent shockwave from the explosion sounded behind, Zhu Haomiao’s Divine Thought activated, wrapping his whole body in invisible gray-white threads, the wildly dispersing aura immediately disappeared and hid.

Just as the True Qi had consumed most of it, Zhu Haomiao slowed his speed, like a bird hiding in the clouds.

A few minutes later, a fighter jet more sci-fi than a J-20 flew by not far away, tearing through thick clouds, circling the nearby area.

"Airspace clean, the target disappeared, suspected downed, requesting ground confirmation."

"Radar signal vanished, ground troops dispatched, please return."

"Received."

Faintly overhearing fragmented whispers, Zhu Haomiao hovered within the clouds, looking complicatedly at the distant sci-fi fighter jet.

Waiting for the others to go far, Zhu Haomiao flapped his wings, transformed into a black light, and streaked across the sky.

This time, with the authority of Sloth for concealment and slowing down the energy response, the waves all along were absorbed, Zhu Haomiao safely saw the desert.

Finding a ruined small town, the black-clad youth silently landed, his pair of black wings gently folded, reverting to a cloak.

"Hello, could you tell me what place this is?"

Stopping a female passerby, Zhu Haomiao smiled, a pink glow flashed in his eyes.

When the gaze met hers, the woman’s eyes slightly unfocused, subconsciously murmured.

"This is Kazakhstan..."

Zhu Haomiao: "......"

Damn!

No wonder there were high-tech fighter jets coming at me!

I flew the wrong direction!

Realizing he had crossed more than half of Xinjiang, Zhu Haomiao painfully slapped his forehead, realizing the severity of the problem.

Flying in the sky without navigation won’t do!

"Diao Chan."

"Chirp~"

A snow-white fluffy ball appeared from somewhere and swiftly climbed onto his head.

"Go fetch a cellphone back."

"Chirp~"

Just a few seconds later, the vanished Diao Chan reappeared, holding a phone resembling an Apple device and handed it to Zhu Haomiao.

"Good job."

But a moment later, Zhu Haomiao discovered, without fingerprint access, he couldn’t turn it on.
