A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 426 Crystal Ball

"This sword is unusual." Bai Ye picked up the sword, and the symbols on the sword gradually flashed. "This seems to be an artifact with some special power."

Pim walked to Bai Ye's side and observed the sword intently. "Perhaps this is Asgard's guardian object and may be closely related to the secret of this altar."

The two put the mysterious sword aside and continued to investigate other parts of the altar. Around the altar, the symbols on the walls began to become complex and orderly, seeming to tell ancient legends.

At the same time, they explored the secret chamber under the altar more deeply. Entering the secret room, they found more Asgardian symbols carved on the walls, as if it were an ancient worship space.

"This secret room may be a place used for sacrificial rituals." Pim speculated, and they continued to search for clues in the secret room. "And that cave entrance may be the starting point of the time and space gate to Asgard."

Suddenly, there was a signal of abnormal movement from the ant camera. Pym saw on the screen that Ant was discovering a hidden door on the other side of the secret room. "We may have more to discover."

The two quickly walked towards where the ant was and discovered the hidden door.

The symbols on the door are full of mysterious power and tell ancient legends. Bai Ye thought intently, trying to connect these symbols with the words he had previously discovered in the parchments and laboratory. Pym focused on analyzing the door's structure and possible mechanisms.

After some hard work, they finally found an activation mechanism. Byakuya gently touched specific parts of the symbol while Pym made slight adjustments to the door. With a low roar, the hidden door slowly opened, revealing a deeper area.

The moment the door opened, an ancient and mysterious breath rushed towards me, as if it was leading to another time and space. Bai Ye and Pim exchanged glances for a moment, strengthening each other's determination.

After they stepped into the hidden door, their eyes suddenly opened up and they entered a huge and ancient cave. The cave is filled with Asgard's unique energy, and the surrounding walls are carved with complex symbols and ancient legends.

Deep in the cave, the two discovered a mysterious altar. A series of ancient artifacts are placed on the altar, including a shimmering crystal ball and a parchment that records time and space rituals.

The crystal ball is placed on the altar, its surface is as clear as transparent crystal, emitting a faint light. Bai Ye and Pim surrounded the altar and focused their attention on the mysterious crystal ball.

The crystal ball is about the size of an orange and is round in shape. The surface is as smooth as glass, but the energy contained in it makes people feel a mysterious power. Through the crystal ball, they could see a series of faint images reflected in it.

"It looks like a device that stores energy." Pim whispered to himself, scanning the crystal ball with a professional instrument. "Let's see if we can decipher these images."

The two of them got close to the crystal ball and stared at the image that appeared in it. Some scenes of Asgard flashed in the image, including towering palaces, solemn temples, and scenes of sacrificial rituals. Every frame carries a strong historical atmosphere, as if you can travel through time and space back to ancient Asgard.

"This is an ancient history, possibly a moment in Asgard." Bai Ye stared at the crystal ball, trying to understand the information contained in it. "Perhaps we can learn more about the Cloaked Man and Loki through this."

He gently touched the surface of the crystal ball and felt a weak energy fluctuation. He closed his eyes, as if trying to establish some kind of connection with the energy contained in the crystal ball. At this moment, he seemed to see some vague images, some ancient rituals and mysterious scenes.

Pym further scanned and analyzed the crystal ball to try to unravel its secrets.

As time went by, they gradually felt an atmosphere of time travel from the images, as if the crystal ball recorded the energy of a special moment.

"This crystal ball may be a storage device of time and space, capable of recording important moments in Asgard." Pim put away the scanning instrument again, his gaze deep. "We might be able to use it to learn more about the history and secrets of Asgard."

Bai Ye nodded, and they decided to leave the crystal ball in the cave and wait for further research. The two then turned their attention to the scrolls on the altar. The text in this scroll is still ancient symbols and mysterious language, but they have accumulated some experience in the process of studying the parchment.

Bai Ye took out a special pen and began to carefully record the symbols on the scroll. Pym used the advanced equipment in the laboratory to conduct precise scanning and analysis of these symbols. They work together to try to restore the information contained in this ancient document.

As the work progressed, they gradually gained a preliminary understanding of the contents on the scroll. This passage seems to be describing a special time and space ritual involving Asgard's mysterious elements and time and space passages.

"This time and space ritual may be the key to connecting Asgard and other realms." Pim gently brushed the words on the scroll with his fingers, his eyes flashing with thought. "We need more clues to understand the specific process and purpose of this ritual."

Bai Ye was also full of curiosity about the contents on the scroll. They speculated that perhaps this time and space ritual was inextricably linked to the appearance of the cloaked man and the changes in time and space in the wasteland.

"We need more information. Maybe we can find clues through crystal balls and other Asgardian artifacts." Bai Ye frowned and thought. Although they had made some discoveries, the whole mystery was still huge and complicated.

After the two agreed on a plan to continue their research, they decided to leave the cave temporarily and return to the laboratory. Bai Ye took the parchment and Pim with the crystal ball and carefully returned to the secret room of the altar through the hidden door.

Outside the cave, they faced the desolate scene of the wasteland again. However, at this moment, their hearts were filled with curiosity about the unknown and expectations for the mystery to be solved. Beneath the ruins, Asgard's ancient secrets seem about to be revealed.

Traveling through the wasteland, they came to the laboratory. Bai Ye placed the parchment scroll on the research table, while Pim carefully placed the crystal ball on special equipment, preparing to further analyze the energy in it.

"We have taken an important step, but we still need more information." Bai Ye pondered. He knew that this adventure was full of unknowns and dangers, but they had no hesitation in solving the mystery of Asgard.

"As long as this mystery can be solved, whether it is Loki, Proxima Centauri, or Ultron's questions, they should all be answered."

Hank Pym said quietly.
