Chapter 315: Chapter 159: Kamar-Taj Magic, Arishem Appears! (Part 1)

In the Kamar-Taj library, pale golden spatial runes flowed within Alex’s palm.

He had just completed the reverse deduction of the Seventh-Tier Spatial Folding Technique, modifying a mystic art that would take an ordinary Kamar-Taj sorcerer a century to master into an offensive method capable of tearing through dimensional barriers.

The hovering runes abruptly collapsed, turning into countless golden particles that dissipated into the air. Standing to the side, Strange’s blue eyes contracted slightly in shock, his voice carrying unbelievable awe.

"Your learning speed... is simply a blasphemy against magic."

Alex smiled faintly but said nothing. Saints were taught from childhood to concentrate their power entirely on their attacks.

This was especially true for the Aquarius Saint, who was capable of freezing molecular motion.

Magic, in essence, was the precise control of power and the borrowing of divine strength.

These two aspects were exactly what Alex excelled at the most.

Learning the Kamar-Taj mystic arts was not difficult at all for a Gold Saint who had awakened the Eighth Sense.

"As a Protector, learning to this extent should be enough!" Alex said indifferently.

Strange smiled and shook his head. It was more than enough; if he learned for a few more days, Alex could even become an instructor. This way, he could be considered to have fulfilled his promise to the Ancient One.

He bowed slightly to Alex.

"Greetings to the Protector!"

Alex smiled. This indicated that he had officially become the Protector of Kamar-Taj.

At that moment, the communication seal at Wong’s waist suddenly lit up, the dazzling golden light illuminating his tense face.

"Found them! It’s the energy fluctuation of the Eternals. They’re hiding in the Arctic Circle, inside a crustal fissure in Spitsbergen!"

"Wait, I’ve been discovered. Help... Help!... Ah!"

The three men did not hesitate for a second. Strange raised his hand and opened a portal. On the other side of the golden portal was the blizzard-swept Greenland ice sheet.

Alex was the first to step through the portal. The biting cold wind, carrying ice shards, rushed at his face. The ice layer beneath his feet was hundreds of meters thick. The environment here made Alex somewhat nostalgic, as if he had returned to his own Temple of Ice.

Before his eyes, an alien spaceship lay hidden beneath the thick glacier.

It was presumably the vessel the Eternals used to travel to Earth millions of years ago.

Not far away on the ice sheet, the Eternals were engaged in a battle with the Kamar-Taj sorcerers.

As the Protector of Kamar-Taj, Alex naturally wouldn’t sit idly by. The situation before him was akin to Specters beating up Bronze and Silver Saints right in front of him.

"How dare you?"

A golden light surged around Alex.

Boom!

An invisible shockwave spread outwards with him at the epicenter.

In the next second, it was as if a pause button had been pressed on the entire ice sheet.

The cosmic energy beams gathering in Ikaris’s eyes froze in their sockets, and the afterimages left by Makkari’s high-speed movements halted in mid-air.

Ajak, the leader of the Eternals, was raising her hand to heal Gilgamesh. The fingertips radiating healing light were a mere half-inch from his back.

The pale golden Cosmo materialized into physical chains, instantly binding Ajak’s limbs and torso. Alex took a step forward, resting his right hand lightly over the crown of her head. The power in his palm caused Ajak’s entire body to stiffen.

The powerful bodies that the Eternals prided themselves on were now completely immobilized, like insects trapped in amber.

The other members of the Eternals tried to rush forward but were blocked by an invisible Cosmo barrier, unable to get even a fingertip closer.

"Summon Him."

Alex’s voice pierced through the howling cold wind, shattering the nearby ice crystals.

"Use your communication ritual with the Celestials to summon the one who took the Soul Stone. Otherwise, I will crush your conscious core right now and completely turn the one in the center of the Earth into an ice sculpture."

Ajak’s pupils contracted violently, reflecting the powerful Cosmo surging around Alex. That supreme power made her feel instinctive terror.

She nodded, and Alex released his restraints on her.

Ajak opened her mouth tremblingly. Ancient syllables of genesis spilled from her throat. With every note that fell, the energy pulsing beneath the ice grew a fraction more intense.

Almost at the exact moment Ajak finished chanting the final syllable, the Earth’s magnetic field abruptly collapsed!

In space, countless orbiting satellites instantly lost power and began plummeting toward the Earth.

The dark magic within Strange shrieked and recoiled uncontrollably.

A groan resembling metal fatigue came from the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Tectonic plates on the seabed began to tremble slightly. All satellite signals globally were cut off simultaneously, replaced by monotonous cosmic background radiation and static.

Above the Greenland ice sheet, six massive rings of starlight suddenly bloomed in the stratosphere.
