Chapter 957: Reaction
Based on Thorâs statements, itâs clear that Thor believes that the Ancient One has taken an interest in Lin Rui and plans to make him his successor.
However, itâs important to note that the Ancient One is indeed searching for a talented inheritor in preparation for his âretirementâ, but he did not have Lin Rui in mind as a candidate. The Ancient One is aware of Lin Ruiâs identity and knows that he lacks any aptitude for magic.
âAre you saying that Jackson still has the potential to become a sorcerer?â Tony asked in disbelief after hearing Thorâs words.
In Tonyâs perception, Lin Rui already possesses a great deal of strength and potential. Every time Lin Rui goes through some experience, his strength increases.
The last time Lin Rui fought Hulk, even though he was defeated, it was enough to see that he had a great deal of confidence in his own strength. If Lin Rui still has a great talent for magic, it would be extraordinary.
âHe must have some potential, otherwise, why would the Ancient One treat him so favorably? And didnât the Ancient One sorcerer rescue him when he was teleported away from Earth last time? From what my mother said, the Ancient One probably used⊠â Seeing Tonyâs surprised look, Thor continued but stopped midway.
Thor also knew that he almost talked about the situation of the Time Stone in the hands of the Ancient One, which is something they cannot discuss now.
âIs that so? Is the Ancient One really that powerful?â Tony disregarded Thorâs sudden silence as he was more interested in the strength of the Ancient One sorcerer.
If it was truly the Ancient One, the Sorceror Supreme, who placed value on Lin Rui, then as the person responsible for Jackson Lin, a talented high school student, Tony must always be aware of who the other party is.
âCanât you tell from the title alone? Not just anyone can be called the Sorceror Supreme! Itâs safe to say that itâs thanks to the Ancient One that the Earth has been able to develop steadily to this dayâ Thor replied with a challenging raise of his eyebrows.
Itâs important to note that the Earthâs Ancient One is a powerful individual on par with Asgardâs Odin. Additionally, Odinâs health is gradually declining while Ancient Oneâs condition is obviously much better than Odinâs.
âIs he really that powerful? Then why didnât I see him take action during the Dark Elf invasion this time? The weird guy who fought with Venom last time actually showed up.â Hearing Thor says that the Ancient One is so powerful, Tony said lightly.
Although Tony didnât show it, he already had some doubts about this Sorceror Supreme named Ancient One in his heart. Although Lin Rui was also very mysterious, Tony considered himself the elder of this mysterious young man, and he was the first to know what was happening.
And now that the Ancient One has suddenly appeared, and itâs possible that he had his eyes on Lin Rui, Tony has an inexplicable feeling that his excellent protĂ©gĂ© will be taken away by someone else.

âEarth Sorcerers donât involve themselves in everything. This time, the Dark Elves invaded Earth and it wasnât their concern, but there were still Sorcerers who helped, so you should be satisfied!â Thor said helplessly when he saw Tonyâs expression.
âWell, if that kid Jackson knew someone so powerful like Ancient One then he shouldnât have kept it from us!â Tony said angrily, not wanting to continue discussing this topic.
âUm⊠then you can talk to Jackson about it when he comes back,â Thor responded lightly, noticing Tonyâs change in mood.
Tony: ââŠâ No one knows when Jackson will come back, and Tony wonât talk to him about it at that time.
Tony and Thor talked about something else, and Tony got up from the sofa. Tony already knew what he needed to know, and SHIELDâs team had been waiting outside for a while. Rogers, who had flown over from Washington, was also on his way.
Ka Ka Ka!
Tony stood up and quickly donned the Iron Man suit.
He then looked at Thor, who was still sitting on the couch.
âIâm going back first. People from SHIELD should come to you later. You can handle it. Anyway, they wonât make things difficult for you. If you really have a way to find Jackson, then go,â Tony said, finishing his sentences before turning and walking towards the window.
Boom!
Tony then flew straight out the window of Thorâs apartment. By looking at the direction Tony was flying, it seems like he was planning to intercept Rogers from Washington. In any case, Tony has already understood the situation, so thereâs no need for Rogers to come over in person.
As for the SHIELD agents downstairs and the surveillance team across the street, they will also receive news from the headquarters, and they will not have much of a reaction to Thorâs return.
âSHIELD, it seems that my hammer is still with them. Maybe this time, I can retrieve what belongs to me,â Thor whispered to himself as he looked at Tonyâs back which was about to fly away.
Then, he pulled out his phone and started calling Jane Foster. A few days ago, because of the battle, Destroyer sent Jane Foster to a safe place, and Thor didnât have time to say hello to her when he returned. Therefore, Thor now thinks that his ex-girlfriend should not be angry with him and may want to get back with him.
Beep Beep
âHey! Jane! Iâm back! Iâm back on Earth!â Tony shouted excitedly as soon as the phone was connected.
âCrack!â
Beep Beep
âŠ
Brush!
When Thor took the phone away from his ear with a dazed expression, Tony had already flown into the sky. In the direction of his flight, a Quinjet was rushing toward him. After spotting Tony, the Quinjet slowed down noticeably.
A few seconds later, Tony had already flown to the Quinjet carrying Captain America. Then, the bottom cabin of the Quinjet opened and Tony flew right in. Not long after Tony entered the Quinjet, the jet turned around and flew towards the Stark Industries building in downtown New York, landing on the top floor of the building.
After that, Rogers and Tony disembarked the plane together and walked into the luxurious living room on the top floor of the Stark Industries building. What they talked about that day, remains known only to them.
However, just after ten oâclock in the evening when Bifrost landed in New York, a very strong earthquake occurred in the SHIELDâs first-level base in New Mexico, it was accompanied by a very strong lightning reaction. This incident caused the earthquake to be felt in a radius of 100 kilometers and all power was cut off.
