"What is Kamar-Taj?"
After the news broke that Thor had become an Outer Disciple of Kamar-Taj, this was the question everyone was most concerned about.
Thor had a foundation in mythology as a basis for his image, and although there were differences between myth and reality, people accepted him quickly.
But most people had never heard the name Kamar-Taj.
So Fang Yuan arranged a joint exclusive interview for Thor with several major media outlets specifically to introduce what Kamar-Taj was.
Thanks to the boost from Thor's fame, this exclusive interview received massive attention.
And the existence of Kamar-Taj, as expected, caused another sensation.
It turned out to be a magical organization that had existed on Earth for thousands of years, and its leader, the Sorcerer Supreme, had actually been guarding Earth for hundreds of years!
Ancient One?
This slightly strange name instantly became famous across the country!
Even though no one had seen what the Ancient One looked like yet.
Exactly, this was Fang Yuan's plan—to use Thor as a stepping stone for the Ancient One!
Fang Yuan had considered that if he let the Ancient One appear directly, although it would become popular, it would take a long time because neither Kamar-Taj nor the Ancient One had a public foundation beyond their identity as sorcerers.
Thor was different; Norse mythology, Thor, and Ragnarok were very well-known.
That's why Fang Yuan promoted Thor first, and once Thor's fame rose, he would introduce the Ancient One in a way where the veteran brings in the newcomer.
In this way, the outside world's level of recognition for Kamar-Taj and the Ancient One would be completely different.
How powerful must an organization be if even Thor holds it in such high regard?
Thor was very dedicated. Fang Yuan had taken him to see the Ancient One, and after learning of the Ancient One's formidable strength and her deeds in guarding Earth, he immediately expressed his desire to make the Sorcerer Supreme loved by Earth as well.
Of course, this also had a lot to do with Fang Yuan, because [Superhero Creator] also worked on Thor.
So Thor spared no effort in promoting Kamar-Taj and the Ancient One.
"Kamar-Taj has always protected Earth from invasions from multiple dimensions. Without them, Earth would have certainly fallen into chaos long ago."
"Especially Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, she is truly a great person, being able to guard Earth consistently for hundreds of years."
"I used to find it strange why Midgard, which is Earth, clearly full of ordinary people, wouldn't be attacked by other realms of the Nine Realms."
"I originally thought it was Asgard's protection, but Asgard hasn't sent an army to Earth in a long time."
"It turns out this was all the work of Sorcerer Ancient One. If it weren't for the Sorcerer Supreme, Earth might have been annexed by other Planets long ago!"
Thor directly combined his own personal experiences to attribute great credit to the Ancient One. With his endorsement as Thor, the Ancient One's prestige skyrocketed!
Although currently only a name, and the Ancient One's reputation did not yet match her actual presence, Fang Yuan knew that her fame had definitely surged.
But he was in no hurry to let the Ancient One come out to harvest fame just yet.
What kind of high-status figure is the Sorcerer Supreme? How could she just appear casually?
Although there was a loud public outcry to see the Ancient One in person, Fang Yuan was not worried.
The more he teased them, the more the outside world would feel this person was mysterious and powerful.
Thus, all that heat flowed into Kamar-Taj and the matter of Kamar-Taj recruiting Outer Disciples.
"Outer Disciples?"
Thor already had his talking points ready: "Because we are facing more and more crises, Kamar-Taj plans to unite with the outside world to face future threats together."
"Outer Disciples are a group of social elites specially recruited by Kamar-Taj so that everyone can unite!"
"Of course, Kamar-Taj will also provide certain support to Outer Disciples, such as Awakening Serums and so on. People with good talent who take them long-term can even awaken transcendent abilities!"
Towards the end, Thor was purely reciting advertising slogans.
But no one found it awkward; everyone was stunned by Thor's words.
Transcendent abilities?
Who wouldn't want that?
And with Thor as a guarantee, it definitely wasn't a scam!
So on June 20th, several blocks centered around the Metropolitan Opera House in New York were packed to the brim, filled with people eager to come into contact with magic.
Most of them were elites from all walks of life, because Fang Yuan had only mentioned the gathering to the guests at Tony's birthday party back then.
After Thor appeared, these guests saw that even Thor held Kamar-Taj in such high regard, which further fueled their interest.
Those who could learn about this gathering from them were naturally high-end individuals as well.
But someone would always leak the news, letting many ordinary people learn of it too, but the ordinary people were all blocked outside the doors of the Opera House.
Meanwhile, those wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials who came with their families were not blocked outside like the ordinary people.
Naturally, today's Opera House was not somewhere anyone could just enter. Fang Yuan had only said a gathering would be held here, but he didn't care about entry standards or the number of participants, leaving it all to the Opera House.
So who could enter depended on their own abilities.
A large group of people with various channels entered the Opera House through different means. It could even be said that at this time, those who could smoothly enter the Opera House were all extraordinary elite figures.
"Scan complete. There are currently 5,372 people in the Opera House."
Athena reported the statistics of the attendees to Fang Yuan, which included the personal information of the guests. It could be summarized in three simple words—"rich people."
Ah, no.
It should be "People of Yuan."
Fang Yuan organized this gathering to let Vought quickly enter the elite class; those without money or power couldn't get in.
But the arrival of over five thousand people still surprised Fang Yuan. Thor's role as the spokesperson for Kamar-Taj was just too perfect. If Fang Yuan had done it himself, it would have taken a lot of effort to achieve this effect.
He immediately ordered: "Good, lock the doors. It's time for the lead of Point Break to make his entrance."
"Boom!"
Not long after, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and Thor descended directly to the doors of the Opera House, riding the lightning.
"Ahhh, it's Thor!"
"Thor, I love you!"
"Thor, help us get in! We want to be Outer Disciples too!"
Thor very skillfully greeted people in all directions; he quickly stepped into the role of a big star.
Because Fang Yuan had briefed him in advance, he ignored the shouts of the crowd and walked straight into the Opera House.
After seeing Thor, the upper-class people inside the Opera House naturally didn't act as crazy as the people outside. They all nodded to Thor with feigned restraint.
But the heat in their eyes revealed that they were far from being as calm as they appeared on the surface.
Thor walked all the way to the stage. Realizing the gathering was about to begin, everyone stopped talking and hurriedly found seats.
The massive Opera House was instantly packed to capacity, with some people who didn't have seats squeezing into boxes or aisles.
However, Thor was here to lend his support; the protagonist of this gathering was not him.
"Zzzzt!"
A burst of sparks suddenly appeared in the center of the stage, drawing a large circle in mid-air. Instantly, a portal appeared, and Fang Yuan, dressed in a sorcerer's robe, slowly stepped out.
Seeing this magical scene, everyone present held their breath. Then, Fang Yuan lightly snapped his fingers to produce a small flame and waved his arm toward the crowd. The flame suddenly expanded rapidly, transforming into a two-winged giant dragon in the air, flying past the audience seats and eliciting bursts of amazement.
"Bang!"
After circling once, the fire dragon exploded into sparks and disappeared, signaling the end of Fang Yuan's greeting.
"Hello, friends. I am the Chief Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj—Fang Yuan."
"I am fully responsible for the affairs of Kamar-Taj's Outer Disciples."
Fang Yuan introduced himself shamelessly like this.
In fact, there was no such thing as a "Chief Sorcerer" in Kamar-Taj, and in terms of spellcasting level, even excluding the Ancient One, Fang Yuan was not the most powerful one.
But he was the thickest-skinned person in Kamar-Taj. If he said he was the Chief Sorcerer, the Ancient One wouldn't come to expose him, and if the Ancient One didn't speak up, others wouldn't be talkative. So hadn't he just become it?
Anything not forbidden is allowed; if the Ancient One doesn't stop it, it can be done.
Hearing Fang Yuan introduce himself this way, everyone's gaze toward him became even more fervent.
Fang Yuan began his opening remarks: "Kamar-Taj has protected Earth for thousands of years. Now that the threats facing Earth are increasing daily, the Sorcerer Supreme is deeply concerned. Therefore, she has decided to no longer keep Kamar-Taj a secret and to recruit social elites to become Outer Disciples to guard Earth together!"
Enthusiastic applause rang out from the audience, as if everyone were a hero willing to contribute their strength to Earth.
Only through Fang Yuan's Telepathy did he know that most of what they were thinking was—we understand the rhetoric, hurry up and list the procedures, what exactly do we need to do to possess transcendent power?
These people were social elites who had experienced countless cults, pyramid schemes, and scams; none of them were fools.
They only believed in one thing.
Interests!
How much do I have to pay, and how much benefit can you give me? If it's suitable, I'll buy in.
Fang Yuan naturally understood their thoughts very well, so he didn't waste much time and went straight to the point.
"However, magic is an extreme test of talent, and only a very few people can learn it. Considering this, the Sorcerer Supreme spent two hundred years developing a treasure that gives ordinary people a chance to obtain transcendent power—"
With a wave of his hand, a row of potion bottles immediately appeared out of thin air in front of him. The bottles hovered in the air, containing a deep blue liquid.
"Awakening Serum!"
Fang Yuan introduced the effects: "The Awakening Serum can strengthen the body. When ordinary people drink it, it can alleviate pain and slowly improve physical fitness."
"Long-term consumption also has a chance to stimulate human potential, allowing ordinary people to gain superpowers!"
Hearing the magical effects of the Awakening Serum, everyone's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Strengthening the body was already something they pursued; if physical fitness improved, lifespan could naturally be extended as well.
Long-term consumption could even lead to gaining superpowers, which made everyone flock to it, their hearts racing!
Even Thor looked at the Awakening Serum with curiosity, not expecting Kamar-Taj to have such good stuff.
But only Fang Yuan laughed secretly in his heart.
Awakening Serum?
NO NO NO!
It's just Kryptonian technology + compound v!
