Ultraman Noah from Marvel

14. Ancient 1 God Observation Diary

"How about it? Do I look like a seasoned mage now?" Ji Yuan hovered in the air, his magic cloak radiating a holy light.

"So alike, so very alike." It was hard to tell whether Gu Yi's tone was praise or just perfunctory.

"What do you mean, 'like'? Where's my staff? Are you pretending to be senile?" Ji Yuan landed on the ground and demanded the staff that Gu Yi had promised him.

Gu Yi blinked, thinking he could get away with it, and with a flick of his finger, a wooden staff landed in his hand. He said, "Come, esteemed archmage, this is a scepter forged by the World Tree."

Ji Yuan took the scepter, saw the words engraved on it, and resisted the urge to break it in half. He said, "This is the World Tree Scepter you were talking about?"

A line of small characters was engraved at the end of the scepter: "This scepter was crafted by the World Tree."

If this hadn't been made from a random tree branch by the Ancient One, Ji Yuan would have eaten the staff.

Gu Yi smiled and said, "Isn't that right?"

Ji Yuan was speechless. Gu Yi's skin was really thick. No wonder she could become the Sorcerer Supreme. But he was too lazy to argue. After all, he only had a staff to make his image as a sorcerer more complete. Using a proper staff would be a waste.

"Alright, the magic cloak is enough. Bye-bye." Ji Yuan said and plunged into the magic circle. He felt that Gu Yi's gaze was a little strange, and Gu Yi's emotions were concealed by magic. Gu Yi was definitely up to no good. It was better to run away first.

After Ji Yuan left, Gu Yi took out a magic book and quickly wrote something down in it.

Diary of the God of Light:

He has a favorable view of humanity and seems to think that He is human. When He thinks that He is human, His physiological structure is no different from that of humans (He has a certain degree of ability to change reality).

His power has a great restraint on evil forces, seemingly overwhelming them in terms of personality (lawful good).

He possesses a certain ability to read minds; please use magic to conceal your inner turmoil before making contact.

He possesses both divinity and humanity, with divinity prevailing, but currently there is a tendency for humanity to suppress divinity.

He possesses the power to expel all external forces, not limited to the body, soul, or mind.

He enjoys playing roles.

He seems to exist in some kind of realm, and magical creations that come into contact with Him will be affected, with their attributes altered and their abilities enhanced.

Daily Bugle:

"Several more people have died in Hell's Kitchen."

Today is the third day since we returned from Kamar-Taj. Ji Yuan sat in a chair at the psychological clinic, drinking tea and reading the news in the newspaper.

It's normal for people to die in Hell's Kitchen, and normally there wouldn't be any reports. But today's report is in the pictures in the newspaper, where each dead person has two holes in their neck, as if they've been drained of blood by some kind of wild beast.

"Ding ding ding..."

Ji Yuan put down his newspaper and answered the phone: "Hello, this is Noah Psychological Clinic."

"Hello, Dr. Ji Yuan." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hmm? Fury, what good news do you have for me now?" Ji Yuan recognized Fury's voice.

"Um... cough cough, I'd like to ask you for a favor," Fury said carefully.

Ji Yuan keenly sensed the presence of US dollars and coldly said, "What kind of help? Pay as needed."

"Damn it..." There was some static on the other end of the phone. Fury said calmly, "Coulson recommended you to Stark's secretary, Pepper. They'll be coming to you soon to treat some psychological issues. I hope you won't treat his physical ailments."

"One million." Ji Yuan's tone left no room for argument.

"Okay, Mare Fakr." Fury hung up the phone.

A short while later, Ji Yuan received news that one million had been deposited into his account. He could roughly guess why Fury had done this.

It's simply that he's afraid that if he heals Stark, it will disrupt his plan to bring Stark into the Avengers. So now Stark is probably caught in a dilemma: whether or not to look at his father's notes.

Not long after, the roar of a sports car rang out in front of the clinic, and a beautiful woman got out of the car and hurried into the clinic.

"Hello, are you Dr. Ji Yuan?" she asked tentatively, extending her hand. "I'm Pepper Potts, Stark's assistant. Coulson recommended me to come see you."

Ji Yuan stood up and shook hands with Pepper: "Hello, Miss Pepper, may I ask who the patient is?"

"It's my boss, Stark," Pepper said urgently.

"No rush, Miss Pepper," Ji Yuan reassured Pepper. "You can tell me first what exactly happened at Stark."

Ji Yuan secretly calmed Pepper down; she was very anxious.

Pepper sat in her chair, rubbing her eyes. "Ever since Tony escaped and came back, he's become a completely different person. He's become irritable and short-tempered, and he often talks to himself. He hasn't slept for several nights..."

"Oh, Miss Pepper, don't worry, I think I have a way. We can go there now," Ji Yuan said reassuringly.

Pepper wiped her eyes and led Ji Yuan into the car.

Ji Yuan understood that Stark was probably deeply poisoned, facing pressure from other shareholders and unspeakable feelings for Pepper, and was on the verge of collapse. The contradictions and conflicts were causing insomnia, irritability, and even hallucinations.

Upon arriving at Stark Tower, Ji Yuan immediately noticed Stark's physical condition; he was practically withered and decayed. If the poisoning issue wasn't resolved soon, he probably wouldn't live much longer. His mental state was also in complete disarray, a veritable collection of contradictions.

Ji Yuan gestured for Pepper to wait outside. Pepper glanced at Stark worriedly, then turned and went outside.

Ji Yuan sat opposite Stark, looking at his messy hair and bloodshot eyes, and said, "Mr. Stark, I think I know what you're thinking."

"Oh, I've seen plenty of unscrupulous doctors like you. Even your medical license is fake. I never imagined such a shrewd agent as Coulson would be fooled by you. You'd better put on an act; I'll pay you an acting fee. Otherwise, I'll expose you!"

Stark had apparently investigated Ji Yuan and discovered that he had forged documents and used a false identity to work as a psychologist, and he condemned Ji Yuan's deception of Coulson.

Ji Yuan was speechless. He had already joined S.H.I.E.L.D., yet Fury didn't even lock his identity. He would definitely charge him a few million more next time.

Ji Yuan spread his hands: "Mr. Stark, sometimes a medical license doesn't mean anything. Since you've investigated me, you must know that every patient who has been treated by me has given me rave reviews."

"Hehe, who knows where you found these actors? I think you'd be a good choice to become a director."

Ji Yuan ignored Stark's sarcasm and slowly approached Stark, whispering, "A big boy who doesn't dare to express his feelings."

Stark's eyes widened, clearly stunned by those words.
