Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto

Chapter 1073: Chapter 796: Akatsuki Members

New York Temple.

The Master Ancient One was in a very relaxed mood.

After this Supreme Mage finished negotiating terms with Uehara Naraku and no longer had to worry about the trouble of Dormammu’s invasion, she sat in the rooftop garden of the Holy Temple, casually chatting with the brothers Thor and Loki.

Thor gripped the tiny teacup and downed it in one gulp, his face full of worry as he said, "The Rainbow Bridge of Asgard is broken again, I have no idea what Heimdall is even doing... Lady Ancient One, can you help us contact Asgard?"

This time the situation was a little more troublesome than before.

Thor had absolutely no way to contact Asgard, and even his slightly sly little brother Loki had no way to reach Asgard.

What did that mean?

Had their old man exiled the two brothers?

The Master Ancient One fell silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head. "Sorry, I can’t do that either. Perhaps Lord Odin hopes the two princes can leave the shelter of his wings..."

The answer was a bit dry.

It was really hard for Thor to be satisfied with it.

Thor’s face suddenly scrunched up, and he slammed a fist onto the table. "But Asgard is our home..."

"..."

The Ancient One fell silent again, slowly lifted her teacup, and then bowed her head slightly. "A warm homeland is the most comfortable burial ground for a hero... This world is going to change, even Lord Odin can’t control it. He’s found the most suitable path for you brothers."

"Sounds like he’s arranged something else we don’t know about again..."

Loki’s fingers scratched lightly over the tabletop, his sinister gaze full of ill intent. "He left us on Earth, is he planning for us to become kings of Earth?"

"That joke’s not very funny."

The Ancient One shook her head with a smile.

Just as this Supreme Mage was about to say something, she suddenly seemed to sense something, and raised her hand to open a spatial portal around them.

"Your Highnesses, please leave here for now!"

The Ancient One’s expression gradually turned solemn, her voice low. "Sorry, even the Holy Temple can no longer shelter you... Perhaps we can only hope that another Supreme Mage will one day cross paths with you."

"What’s going on..."

Thor hadn’t finished speaking when the Gate of Space passed through him and Loki, sending the two of them directly to the Avengers Base on Earth.

Or rather...

This should be the underground base of the neutral Avengers.

The Avengers on all of Earth had completely split into three factions.

Uehara Naraku and Scarlet Witch Wanda were, of course, officially recognized, card-carrying Avengers; Steve Rogers of Captain America’s side and the others counted as the resistance; Iron Man Tony Stark, War Machine James Rhodes, and Dr. Bruce Banner of Hulk were considered the neutral camp.

Thor and Loki were still groggy and confused when they opened their eyes and saw Tony Stark and Bruce Banner looking at them in shock. The group warmly welcomed the two guests from distant Asgard, and welcomed them into the neutral camp that claimed to be dedicated to peace...

It was downright absurd.

Of course.

There was something even more absurd going on back at the New York Temple.

Just as the Master Ancient One finished sending away Thor and Loki, a black spatial wormhole appeared, and two figures quietly emerged at her side.

The young man was still in that same black leather outfit—it was Uehara Naraku, who had just finished a battle; as for the other, it was draped in a Cloud Black Robe, its face illusory and hollow, and the energy aura emanating from it couldn’t help but make the Ancient One a bit dazed...

This...

This was Dormammu, right?

"Let me introduce you."

Uehara Naraku pointed at Dormammu’s illusory human-shaped form beside him, and seeing the slightly dazed Ancient One, spread his hands helplessly. "Fine, maybe there’s no need for introductions. Anyway, the two of you will be colleagues in Akatsuki in the future..."

"Hmph..."

Dormammu snorted coldly to show his displeasure.

After spacing out for a moment, the Master Ancient One quickly regained her clarity, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "Looks like our future lives are going to be very interesting..."

"Mm, mm, mm, mm..."

Uehara Naraku nodded in a not-so-sincere way, and said lazily, "I hope you two can let go of past grudges and work together, otherwise you’ll make things really difficult for me..."

"All right."

The Master Ancient One agreed with a smile.

Dormammu’s illusory spirit body was silent for a while before slowly nodding. Since his Dark Dimension had already been absorbed by Uehara Naraku’s Black Hole Universe, this Dark Dominator was the one who truly could not escape Uehara Naraku’s control.

Still, this matter wasn’t without its benefits for Dormammu, because he’d also become the number two figure in Uehara Naraku’s Black Hole Universe, and could even, under Uehara Naraku’s authorization, use part of the abilities of the Black Hole Universe...

Simply put—

Dormammu had become a bona fide management dog.

From now on, as long as he didn’t offend Uehara Naraku, Dormammu could pretty much swagger across this world sideways. Of course, in the past he could basically swagger sideways too...

Now that Dormammu and the Master Ancient One had joined, Akatsuki could apparently take some more offensive measures, and fully pressure Thanos into quickly grabbing the last two remaining Infinity Stones in the universe.

"All right, let’s head to the new base..."

Uehara Naraku raised his finger and began sensing the current location of Akatsuki’s space lab, the one he’d previously instructed Uchiha Madara and the others to seize during the big battle—Captain Marvel’s old home.

"Hold on a moment."

The Master Ancient One cut off Uehara Naraku, speaking softly. "I still need to arrange a few things. I have to find an heir to carry on the legacy of Kamar-Taj and the Supreme Mage..."

Even though she’d chosen to side with Uehara Naraku, she couldn’t just abandon all of Kamar-Taj, and besides, she’d long since chosen a successor to the title of Supreme Mage.

Spoken aloud, it sounded a little disloyal.

But Uehara Naraku didn’t care about such a small thing at all; he had already met the future Supreme Mage, Dr. Strange, during the battle in New York.

"A useless inheritance."

Dormammu couldn’t help but sneer. Given his history with the Supreme Mages, it seemed he’d never give up his contempt for Mages.

"Don’t say that, Dormammu..."

Uehara Naraku chuckled lightly, fixed his gaze on the Ancient One, and said, "I’d really like to see Kamar-Taj become a subordinate organization of our Akatsuki, providing us with a steady stream of talent—just like Hydra and the Avengers. And conveniently, Lady Ancient One can also help look after Gin and Wanda for me on Earth..."

"Understood."

The Master Ancient One lowered her head slightly.

"All right."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand, then turned and stepped with Dormammu into a pitch-black wormhole. "I’m leaving Earth in your hands. I’m just going to meet another new member of the organization—one who wants to take my place..."

Yes.

A member who wanted to take Uehara Naraku’s place.

A woman who clearly had no idea how high the sky was or how thick the Earth.
