"Master Ancient One, have you gone through menopause?"
The girl, with the pure curiosity of a child, blinked her large eyes and asked.
"..."
Upon hearing this question, the Ancient One, who was about to turn a page in her spell book, suddenly froze her hand mid-air. A look of astonishment clearly appeared on her face, for although she had lived nearly a thousand years, no one had ever asked her such a question before.
Nevertheless, being a Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One was still very composed mentally.
She carefully observed the girl for a moment and then looked up at Fang Mo, who was not far away, pondering for a while before she quickly responded.
"She... is your companion, right?"
The Ancient One asked Fang Mo, who after a long pause, looked a bit surprised: "Wow, you can tell?"
"Actually... I heard it."
A helpless expression faintly appeared on the Ancient One's face: "She is very similar to you, and besides, she is not in a human form. One can guess what's going on here without much thought."
"Since you've figured it out, let me introduce her to you."
Unlike the Ancient One's resigned demeanor, Fang Mo seemed quite pleased. He slowly walked over from a distance and pointed to the little demon next to him: "This is my partner, the little demon. Of course, if you define her according to your Kamar-Taj view of Dimensional Demons... she would be considered my dependent."
After introducing his partner, Fang Mo then pointed at the Ancient One, turned to his companion, and said, "I guess I don't need to introduce her, do I?"
"You heard the question I just asked her, so you know it's not necessary."
The little demon shrugged.
"Oh, right."
Hearing this, Fang Mo nodded.
But when it came to the question just asked, Fang Mo suddenly looked up again at the Ancient One: "But really, the question she just asked... I'm also very curious, so could you clarify it for us?"
...
Hearing Fang Mo's remark, the Ancient One also started to feel a bit of a headache.
"What, why are you silent now?"
Seeing that the Ancient One did not respond, Fang Mo could not help but speak again: "What? Is it because the question is too personal, so it's inconvenient to tell me? No worries, I can become like a magnetic rail too..."
...
"The powers of the Dark Dimension not only extend life but can also heal all pains."
After being persistently questioned by Fang Mo, the Ancient One finally spoke: "The magical system of Kamar-Taj is such that we draw energy from other dimensions to perform magic, dealing with disabilities or incurable diseases that modern medicine cannot currently address. We can persuade our bodies to overcome them."
Although the Ancient One spoke very cryptically, both understood the implications clearly, indicating that her bodily functions were still very normal.
The more this was the case.
The more Fang Mo admired her.
You know, girls are usually very irritable for a few days each month because once the stomach pain starts, all sorts of negative emotions surge.
Fang Mo had a girlfriend before and knew that sometimes they really can't control themselves.
Yet the Ancient One managed to endure nearly a thousand years in such conditions.
Normally, if a girl starts her period at thirteen and goes through menopause at fifty, that's about thirty-seven years of dealing with periods.
On average, if it's quite regular, excluding various unforeseen circumstances, the stomach would hurt about four hundred times, and considering three days of pain each time, that's about thirteen hundred days of pain in a girl's life.
But the Ancient One was quite exceptional, assuming she only lived for over eight hundred years, that would still amount to nearly thirty thousand days of pain. Think about it, that's really suffering.
She diligently guarded the Earth for nearly a thousand years.
Yet in the end, not even one person reminded her to drink more hot water.
According to Fang Mo's thinking, this Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, perhaps no longer wanted to live and planned to have Strange replace her, possibly stemming from a thought during a period because it was just too emo, enduring such discomfort while still having to guard against dimensional demon invasions every day, which naturally led to her despair.
And she chose Strange, perhaps precisely because he was a man, free from such troubles.
"Damn! The power of Dormammu is indeed terrifying!"
At this thought, Fang Mo also immediately shouted, "The Dark Dimension is extremely perilous, and even the Sorcerer Supreme Her Excellency has shed blood there for nearly a thousand years. This has been recorded in the annals of history as... the Thousand-Year Blood War!"
"So you convinced your own body to turn the Müllerian ducts back into ovaries?"
Apart from Fang Mo, the little demon beside him also showed a face of surprise; "Wow, that's impressive, is Kamar-Taj's magic always this unreasonable? Then can I also convince my body not to have periods? You know... that thing is really annoying."
"Then you could try seeking his help."
Upon hearing this, Ancient One directly pointed at Fang Mo.
"...Huh?"
However, upon hearing Ancient One's words, the little demon was momentarily stunned, but she quickly recovered and a strange expression appeared on her face: "Not... Are you the Sorcerer Supreme or the Supreme Dark Sorcerer? Why don't you have a child with Dormammu?"
"What? What are you talking about?"
Seeing the other's reaction, Ancient One's face seemed somewhat troubled: "What I mean is, Fang Mo has already devoured Dormammu's Dark Dimension, and he is now one of the most powerful dimension sorcerers. If you want to use magic to stop your menstruation, you can totally borrow his power..."
"Ah..."
Upon hearing this, the girl was also momentarily stunned.
"Moreover, as far as I can see, you don't seem to be bothered by such matters," Ancient One thought for a moment and added, "After all, you appear... very young."
"Pfft...Pfft..."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Fang Mo also struggled to contain his laughter, shaking uncontrollably as if sieving chaff.
"Um!?"
The little demon raised an eyebrow and suddenly turned to glare fiercely at Fang Mo.
"..."
Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately straightened his face and quickly pretended as if nothing had happened, turning to enjoy the scenery beside him.
"You old pervert..."
The little demon bit her teeth while staring at Fang Mo, but soon she sighed helplessly and turned to explain to Ancient One: "Actually, he is the one who transformed me into this, I didn't originally look like this, it was his refining..."
"Hey, hey, you can't just say whatever you like!"
Fang Mo immediately started to explain: "Originally, you just threw a bunch of memories at me, and when I snapped my fingers, I didn't think of anything, it was you who changed like this, okay? Besides, when we were in the dream, you weren't in your own form either, still cosplaying as the Blonde Princess..."
"Nonsense, I was playing a game in my dream."
The little demon retorted unwillingly: "The character from my dream is originally designed like that, I just happened to be dreaming about adventuring inside, you don't understand anything and just talk nonsense... And who said what I gave you was memory?"
"Ah? Isn't it?"
Hearing the little demon's explanation, Fang Mo was also surprised: "But when I checked, it was just a bunch of memories..."
"That's because you're an idiot."
The little demon rolled her eyes: "I know what you were thinking when I first sent you a photo, you were grinning and saying 'hehe, even small ones are cute, you probably didn't think of anything good when you snapped your fingers, right?'"
"You better not slander me out of nowhere."
Fang Mo said somewhat guiltily: "Well... if you don't like how you look now, haven't I told you about the custom Steve function? You can just create a new appearance for yourself."
"...Well, never mind."
However, what Fang Mo didn't expect was that the little demon shook her head unexpectedly: "Let's just leave it as is."
"But don't you dislike it?"
Fang Mo touched his head.
"Well... it's not that I completely dislike it," the little demon shrugged and said, "Mainly because this way, you can't have any crooked thoughts, right? Otherwise, I'd directly slap a bucket on your head."
"...6."
Hearing her explanation, Fang Mo didn't know what else to say.
All he could say was this damn little thing, truly understanding him too well after being his partner for so many years.
"Can I interrupt you two for a moment?"
Fortunately, at this moment, the Ancient One timely spoke up. She turned to Fang Mo and asked, "So, you've brought her here... The Infinity Stones must have been collected already, right?"
"Yes, indeed."
Fang Mo nodded directly, as there was really no need to hide or hold back such matters, as anyone with clear eyes could see.
"Then can you return the Time Stone to Strange now?"
The Ancient One nodded and then suddenly said.
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Fang Mo suddenly remembered and was momentarily stunned.
"Hm?"
Seeing Fang Mo's expression, the Ancient One seemed to have realized something, and her brow furrowed, realizing that the situation was not as simple as she thought: "What's wrong, has something unexpected happened?"
"Well..."
Fang Mo's gaze began to wander.
"Just tell the truth," the Ancient One said, feeling a bit of a headache and massaged her temples, "I am already dead, so I can't really do much to you, can I?"
"Cough cough, that's right."
Fang Mo coughed awkwardly and said, "Originally, I indeed intended to return the Time Stone to Strange, I can assure you of that, but... an accident happened when I snapped my fingers with the Infinity Gauntlet, and all six Infinity Stones exploded."
"..."
The Ancient One fell silent upon hearing this.
"I can't be blamed for this," Fang Mo quickly spread his hands and clarified, "I didn't know the Infinity Stones would explode. Logically speaking, I still have a module that hasn't been unlocked on my side, which is especially important to me, yet I ended up sabotaging myself."
"The Infinity Stones are the six singularities that remained after the universe's big bang."
The Ancient One sighed helplessly, "They play a crucial role in the balance of the universe. Now that you've destroyed them, this universe will become increasingly unbalanced..."
"Well, it doesn't really matter, right?"
Fang Mo couldn't help but speak up, "If we go by the Sacred Timeline... the destruction of the Infinity Stones is destined, it's just that in their setting, it was Thanos who destroyed them, but here it's me, I don't see any difference."
"Sacred Timeline?"
The Ancient One was also stunned upon hearing this, "What is that?"
"Huh? You don't know?"
Fang Mo looked up at the Ancient One, somewhat surprised.
But soon, he realized again, yes, this Ancient One really didn't know about the Sacred Timeline.
If he remembered correctly, in the original Avengers 4, the Avengers traveled back in time through the Quantum Realm to borrow the Infinity Stones, and the Ancient One had stated on the spot that she would not lend them.
Her reason was simple, because if the Infinity Stones left her world, the universe would become unbalanced.
If she had known about the Sacred Timeline then, she naturally wouldn't have refused them, since the Sacred Timeline is just the correct script, but as it turned out, she really didn't know until later when Dr. Banner told her that Strange had given the Time Stone to Thanos in the future, and she was completely baffled.
Afterwards, she decided to trust the future Strange's judgment and lent the Time Stone to Banner.
From what was shown in the movie.
The Ancient One might really not know about this thing.
"So you see..."
Indeed, just as Fang Mo thought, upon hearing this term, the Ancient One indeed seemed a bit confused, "What exactly is the Sacred Timeline?"
"That's a long story."
Fang Mo stroked his chin, trying to explain as succinctly as possible, "Basically, it's like a script, and then there's an organization that supersedes individual universal timelines, hoping that the timelines of the entire multiverse will follow their script…"
