"Stark, stop studying that damn Dracula thing and start studying this." Ji Yuan patted Stark on the shoulder and handed him a long, silver, rectangular object.
"What is this?" Stark unconsciously took it and examined it carefully against the light.
"A weapon, a very powerful weapon. Study it yourself, but remember not to point it at people. I'm taking Dracula with me now." After saying that, Ji Yuan drew a circle, and opposite him was the familiar Kamar-Taj.
Stark looked at the high-tech weapon in his hand with great curiosity, then plunged into the laboratory.
On the other side, as soon as Ji Yuan stepped out of the portal, Gu Yi walked over with a smile.
"Ancient One, I'm back again. How do you stop this thing from becoming the source?" Ji Yuan asked, lifting the Dracula in his hand.
"Follow me." Gu Yi waved and led the way.
Once inside the quiet room, she slowly said, "Actually, it's quite simple to stop him from becoming the source. Just put him back at the point where Xisorn's return was sealed."
"Is it that simple? Has anyone done this before?" Ji Yuan was a little skeptical.
Gu Yi nodded and said, "The key lies in the process. The node that seals Xisorn back to the real dimension is extremely dangerous. It contains the most powerful dark corruption, and very few people can withstand it. Basically, they lose themselves before they even reach their destination."
"Within the seal's range, any rituals involving Sithon will lose their effect, including vampire rituals."
"I see." Ji Yuan suddenly realized that this made perfect sense. Xisone's power couldn't even be unleashed, let alone a ritual.
"Alright, take me there. I've left this thing there so it won't come out and disgust people."
Gu nodded and casually drew a picture; the other side of the portal was a hall exuding a thick aura of darkness.
The moment those dark auras sensed the portal, they surged toward it, then retreated swiftly upon contact with Ji Yuan, as if they had encountered some kind of natural enemy.
Ji Yuan gave him a disgusted look; the dark aura opposite him made him feel very dirty.
A pure white light emanated from his hand, purifying the temple opposite before leading the Ancient One inside.
As soon as he stepped through the portal, a terrifying roar reached his ears, and four pitch-black monsters with blood-red eyes lunged at Ji Yuan.
"Get out of my way!"
The shouts, mixed with telekinesis, sent the four monsters spinning and howling as they plummeted off the cliff outside the temple.
"Are those the guardian beasts of this temple?" Ji Yuan asked.
He knew they were guardian beasts, but the tainted aura made him unsure whether they were good or bad before.
Gu nodded: "This temple is a gateway node in the universe, the easiest place for Xisorn to return, and it was once a holy site for dark magic. However, after those dark magicians were defeated, this place became the place to seal the gateway for Xisorn's return."
"Those beast spirits were originally the guardians of the seal, but they were later corrupted by dark magic. However, they still instinctively prevent others from getting close."
"So this is the Scarlet Witch carved on it?" Ji Yuan asked, looking at the huge stone carving.
In his mind, this seemed to represent some kind of prophecy.
Gu Yi glanced at Ji Yuan with a curious expression: "Yes, but actually the Scarlet Witch hasn't appeared yet. The construction of this temple comes from a prophecy."
"Legend has it that in the future, a 'Scarlet Witch' with chaos magic will descend, she will become the perfect host for Sithon, and destroy the multiverse."
"It's actually the girl you mentioned who needs my help, right?" Ji Yuan said confidently.
"That's right, she is the child in the prophecy, but it seems the prophecy will fail now," the Ancient One said with a smile.
"Oh? You're that confident?"
Looking at Ji Yuan's smile, Gu Yi suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next moment, Ji Yuan said, "I guess I'm saving the world, right? Since that's the case, can you lend me something to take a look at?"
"What is it?" Gu Yi's premonition grew stronger.
"The Book of Vishanti, actually I'm also quite interested in magic."
"this……"
Gu Yi's eyes flickered, and suddenly she had a good idea. She hesitated and said, "The Book of Visanti is a sacred object of Kamar-Taj. Every generation of the Sorcerer Supreme has said that this book can only be read by the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj and his most trusted disciple."
"Although I trust you, you are not a disciple of Kamar-Taj. If I were to entrust you with the access to this information, it would be disrespectful to the Sorcerer Supreme and a violation of the ancestral teachings."
"And I believe that even without this book, you would still have gone to save that child, wouldn't you?"
Ji Yuan said with a playful look, "What nonsense are you spouting? I don't believe you."
Gu Yi: "..."
She felt like all her words had been wasted.
"Okay, you can look it up, but could we exchange something small?"
"What kind of exchange?" Ji Yuan asked with interest.
"I want you to be the one to borrow magic from Kamar-Taj." The Ancient One finally uttered the words she had been holding back for so long.
"You want me to be your creditor? Or the kind who borrows and never pays back?" Ji Yuan deliberately widened his eyes.
Gu Yi was speechless for a moment, wondering in his heart: How did Ji Yuan know that she never paid back?
After calming herself down, she said without changing her expression, "How could I not return it?"
Ji Yuan smiled enigmatically: "I know you won't pay it back, but... I can lend it to you."
"But," Ji Yuan emphasized.
"If the person who borrows the magic undergoes any strange changes, don't blame me for not warning you."
Ji Yuan knew the characteristics of his own power. Borrowing power from another dimension would often be affected by its origin. He wasn't sure what changes his Ultraman power would bring. He decided to make arrangements first, in case it changed the species, the Ancient One wouldn't come after him.
Actually, lending out power is quite good. The Kamar-Taj mage borrowed Ji Yuan's power to bring positive emotions, and he could also gain something from it. At this stage, the accumulation of positive emotions is too slow. Otherwise, he wouldn't have studied the Book of Vishanti, which contains magic for dimensional travel. He had to give it a try.
Gu nodded, barely able to suppress his smile. If he had known it was this simple, he should have spoken up sooner. His research on this God of Light could have come in handy.
"I definitely won't contact you, so it's a deal."
"make a deal!"
Both of them wore smiles of satisfaction, as if they had gotten a great deal.
"So what do we do with Dracula now? Just leave him here? Wouldn't that be a bit hasty?" Ji Yuan asked.
The Ancient One said, "Just use any power you have to create a box. The barrier here is maintained by Kamar-Taj, and I will sense any intrusion immediately."
"OK."
The Ultraman's Wish Ring in Ji Yuan's hand flashed, and a pure white coffin with a combination lock appeared out of thin air, while the surrounding darkness receded like a tide.
Regardless of whether the password is correct or not, the person who touches it will be sucked into the coffin to become Dracula's roommate, and then receive Ultraman's iron fist of justice.
