Ultraman Noah from Marvel

8. Actually, I'm a magician.

Ji Yuan, who was familiar with the plot, knew that Natasha looked very young, but was actually 82 years old. Her lifespan had been greatly extended due to genetic modification surgery.

In fact, if Ji Yuan hadn't met Natasha, he wouldn't have been entirely certain that this universe was a hybrid of comics and movies, because in the movie Natasha was born in 1984, which means she's only in her early twenties now.

But Ji Yuan could feel the passage of time. Although the years had not left any marks on Natasha's body, the marks on her mind were so obvious. In his perception, Natasha was already 82 years old, which was the setting of the comic.

Now that the universe has been basically determined, Ji Yuan has to change his strategic approach to avoid being unable to play freely when those overpowered characters arrive.

"It seems that Dr. Ji is indeed a very professional psychologist."

Natasha took a sip of hot tea, licked her lips with her pink tongue, and looked at Ji Yuan with a smile.

Ji Yuan remained unmoved and returned the smile, but this kind of seduction without revealing any skin had absolutely no effect.

Seeing that Ji Yuan was not tempted at all, Natasha realized that simple methods would not work. She straightened her body, her expression serious, and her murderous aura was unmistakable. Only then did she truly resemble a battle-hardened agent.

"Ji Yuan appears to be Chinese and has been in New York for four months. Apart from the fact that he is real, everything else is fake, including but not limited to the school he attended, his past, his medical license, and his identity as a psychologist."

Natasha's expression was serious, her beautiful eyes sparkling with intelligence, as if she wanted to see right through the man in front of her.

Unfortunately, Ji Yuan's expression remained unchanged, as calm as a stagnant pool.

Well, to be honest, Ji Yuan really couldn't explain his origins. His transmigration was different from those of his predecessors who possessed the body of a dead person. Instead, he created a body out of thin air from light, which is why he is Ultraman and Ultraman is him.

As for everything else, he obtained it all through special means; in this world, he is actually an unregistered person.

It's not surprising that S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to find out these things; Ji Yuan had already given an explanation for this.

"actually……"

Ji Yuan drawled out his words.

"I am a sorcerer from Kamar-Taj in the Himalayas, and I have come to New York to save people from their suffering."

This was the explanation Ji Yuan had prepared. Since Gu Yi wanted him to take action when Earth was in danger, it was reasonable for him to use Gu Yi's name as a shield.

"A magician?"

Natasha smiled charmingly.

"Mr. Ji Yuan, you're so funny. Does that mean there are also dragons and heroes?"

She didn't believe in magic. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s assessment suggested that Ji Yuan might be a member of a mysterious superpowered organization and had a secret reason for coming to New York.

As for why they agreed to let Ji Yuan join S.H.I.E.L.D., what S.H.I.E.L.D. needs now is his ability. It doesn't matter where he was loyal to before. Moreover, the outer members have no access to secrets. Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't really care about his true identity. As long as he is useful, that's enough. Isn't that what Natasha herself is like?

"Miss Natasha, perhaps you should maintain a proper sense of awe for the unknown."

Ji Yuan could understand Natasha's disbelief in magic. Just like before he transmigrated, when someone told him that Ultraman truly existed, he wouldn't have believed it either.

However, there are now plenty of ways to make Natasha believe in the existence of magic.

"Snapped!"

Ji Yuan snapped his fingers, and a clearly visible white hexagonal magic circle appeared, enveloping Natasha within it, and a wondrous power flowed into her body.

"Ah~"

As the strange power deepened, Natasha let out a comfortable moan that was inappropriate for children, and then looked at Ji Yuan with a flushed face.

"This...this is magic?"

Natasha's tone softened involuntarily; it was rather embarrassing to make such a sound in public.

"Yes, this is magic, white magic."

Ji Yuan smiled slightly. In reality, this was his unique application of the power of light. The magic circle was useless and just a bluff, but the effect was quite good. He could easily pretend to be a magician. After all, the essence of magic is the advanced application of cosmic energy, and Ultraman is the most qualified to speak on this.

After briefly letting Natasha experience it, Ji Yuan withdrew his power.

Natasha looked at Ji Yuan with a dreamy gaze, still wanting more: "I can't believe there really are magicians in the world."

She hadn't expected Ji Yuan to be telling the truth; she thought he was joking. In nearly a century, she had never heard of magic.

Although Natasha was shocked, her professionalism as a top agent kept her calm, and she continued to question:

"Mr. Ji Yuan, could you tell me where Kamar-Taj is, and why you left?"

Ji Yuan shook his head, his tone indifferent:

"You don't need to know that. You just need to know that Kamar-Taj is the guardian of the Earth, and most of the sorcerers there are also guardians."

Even if we told S.H.I.E.L.D., they still wouldn't be able to find Kamar-Taj, just like S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't find Wakanda. This is a crushing defeat in terms of technology and knowledge.

Seeing that Ji Yuan was unwilling to elaborate, Natasha didn't press further. She stood up and said, "Then, Mr. Ji Yuan, our conversation ends here. Do you have time to report to S.H.I.E.L.D. tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow."

Ji Yuan thought for a moment.

"Then come pick me up from Hell's Kitchen tomorrow. You know where I live."

Natasha gave a charming smile: "See you tomorrow."

Then she swayed and wobbled out the door.

Looking at Natasha's graceful figure, Ji Yuan felt something was off. Why did she believe him so easily?

On the other side, Natasha returned to her car and made a video call to Fury, whose braised head appeared on the screen.

"Commander Fury."

Fury nodded.

"Tell me about your findings."

Natasha recounted her conversation with Ji Yuan and her comprehensive assessment of Ji Yuan to Fury in detail, and the more Fury listened, the more shocked he became.

How come a superpowered person suddenly became a magician? What is Kamar-Taj? White magic, does that mean there's also black magic?

Fury felt a headache coming on; one problem after another was causing trouble. Being the chief of staff was too unbearable.

"Based on Ji Yuan's past data, life trajectory, and today's events, it can be inferred that he is a kind person, no, a kind magician."

This was Natasha's final conclusion. When she got into the car, the onboard scanner was testing her basic physical information, and all her indicators were incredibly healthy. It's worth noting that although she had undergone genetic modification surgery, long-term bad habits still led to some indicators being elevated.

Fury on the screen nodded:

"Bring him over tomorrow."
