"Please!"
The black mage did not answer George's question, but merely smiled and stepped aside.
He didn't know who George was, but the teacher Galadriel sent him to the door to meet someone, and he would naturally follow Galadriel's instructions.
As for George's question, Galadriel did not instruct, and he still felt that it would be better for him to avoid being good at answering.
"Thank you, what is the name of the wizard?"
George didn't expect the black mage to give an answer, and stepped into the sanctuary, following the mage to the guest living room.
The New York Sanctuary apparently used magic similar to his seamless expansion spell, but not as exaggerated. The overall internal area felt about three to four times larger than the actual villa.
The interior decoration is very retro, with various ornaments and hanging decorations giving a mysterious feeling.
Some of the decorations have obvious magical fluctuations, indicating that they should be magical items with certain special functions.
"You can call me the Mordo Wizard."
The black mage led the way, maintaining a smile.
As they entered the living room, a middle-aged bald female wizard in white robes appeared in front of George. The wizard was brewing tea, and when she saw George enter, she smiled gently.
"This is the Supreme Wizard."
The black mage made a brief introduction to George and then stepped out of the living room.
"George Wizard, please sit, would you like some tea?"
Galadriel pointed to the seat in front of her, poured George a cup of tea.
Sitting in the chair, George picked up the teacup and said:
"Thank you!"
"I know what you're here for, I can agree to it, but there's a condition."
Galadriel didn't beat around the bush; she spoke very simply and directly.
She had observed George for a while and had seen many possible futures for him, knowing his character.
Now, this simple and direct form of communication should be the most appropriate.
George put down the cup and didn't answer immediately. He realized that since he had decided to come to Galadriel to learn time magic, he had completely been taken over by Galadriel's initiative.
But a few seconds later, he also showed a smile:
"I want to know what the condition is first."
It doesn't matter who holds the initiative; what's important is whether the outcome of the deal will satisfy him.
If the outcome of the deal satisfies him, he doesn't care who holds the initiative.
In fact, before coming, he should have anticipated this. Facing a person who is proficient in time magic and possesses the Time Stone that can peek into the future, it was inevitable that he would not be able to take the initiative.
"People often say that the future is unpredictable and changeable, but actually, our world has already been predetermined with all its stories in the river of time when it first appeared."
Any unexpected and changes will be corrected, and eventually, it will return to the original trajectory.
But that was in the past, and now it's different.
A guy sacrificed himself, making it so that the stories of every universe are no longer fixed and unchanging, and there are more possibilities for development."
Galadriel lightly sipped her tea and looked at George:
"My successor, the next Supreme Wizard, is named Stephen Strange, and you have met him."
Originally, in this universe, he had a fixed destiny node that, if followed, would lead to something very bad.
I don't want to see the resulting development, I want to change it.
"And you are the one I've seen with the most possible changes in your future, and if you're willing, maybe you can change that node."
Hearing Galadriel's words, George was taken aback, his mind racing as he quickly recalled all the information about the Marvel universe from his past life, and then suddenly widened his eyes.
"Ah, so that's why!"
He was somewhat surprised that despite changing so much, no one from the Time Agency had come to correct him.
It turned out that at this time, the Loki from the parallel timeline of the movie universe had killed off the Conqueror Kang in the Time Agency and become the god of stories.
Moreover, he roughly knew which universe he was in.
According to Galadriel's words, he guessed that the universe he was in was most likely the one that was destroyed by the dark sorcerer.
In the Blackest of the Black Keys universe in 2016, Stephen Strange did not become paralyzed from the car accident, but his girlfriend Christine did die in a car accident.
After defeating Dormammu and mastering the power of the Time Stone, he had the idea of using it to go back in time and rewrite his girlfriend's death, and did so.
As a result, no matter how he tried to change things, his girlfriend Christine could not avoid her fate of death.
Because it was precisely because of his girlfriend's death that he went to Kamchatka to find Galadriel and became the Supreme Wizard, mastering the power of the Time Stone to return to the past.
If his girlfriend had been saved and hadn't died, he wouldn't have gone to Kamchatka to become the Supreme Wizard, nor would he have used the Time Stone to go back in time and change this event.
So the death of his girlfriend is his destiny node, the node that made him become the Supreme Wizard, obtain the power of the Time Stone, and also something that he cannot change no matter what.
But Blackest of the Black Keys still didn't want to give up, went to the lost Cariostro Library, and found a way to break through his destiny node.
That is by defeating and absorbing the demons summoned from various dimensions, even the dimension gods, to gain terrifying magical power that surpasses the level of a single universe.
In the end, he did indeed gain multiverse-level power and forcibly changed the destiny node, but it also led to the collapse of the entire universe.
"If I agree, what do you want me to do?"
"I won't ask you to do anything, as long as you agree, the change will begin, and there will be a possibility for it to develop in a good direction."
Galadriel said with a smile.
George is the person she has seen the most future possibilities for, and with each visit, there are even more possibilities. The entire future of the universe affected by him has more possibilities.
Although the current development of the universe is no longer bound, destiny nodes are not something ordinary people can influence, especially with regard to some important figures in the universe's fate.
Only someone like George, who is special, has a chance to succeed.
"Okay, since that's the case, I agree."
George nodded without hesitation.
Even if this is the universe of Blackest of the Black Keys, he would find a way to change it after learning about it, regardless of whether Galadriel guides him in time magic or not.
He doesn't want Blackest of the Black Keys to destroy the entire universe.
He also understands Galadriel's meaning, saying that there are many possibilities for change in him, because he has avatars in different worlds, and his strength is constantly increasing, naturally, his impact on this universe is also increasing.
Because of his power, the destiny nodes of many people have actually been changed.
The most obvious is Wolverine and Professor X, who should have died, now living well.
