Number 10 didn't say much, but many of the people who were initially excited were stiff and had various expressions.
Although it wasn't mentioned what the consequences would be if the priest didn't take a liking to the council leader... just thinking about it makes it clear that the final outcome probably wouldn't be too good.
Only if the Speaker of the Council has no malicious intent, and given the inherent power of the Ancient One, is she qualified to perform a ritual...
Just thinking about it makes you realize how terrifying this is.
“I understand.” Tony Stark nodded solemnly. After a moment’s hesitation, he conjured a new card and handed it to Number Ten.
"This is the Boros Armor I developed based on Boros's characteristics... You can also call it the Meteor Burst Armor. Of course, it's an incomplete version..."
Tony Stark chuckled awkwardly. "Let alone Boros, he probably couldn't even beat Madara Uchiha in his normal state, but he's still a pretty decent little thing."
"Thank you for your guidance this time. Consider this a token of my gratitude."
It's still the fifth watch of the night; today is still a day of adjusting my biological balance... Goodnight.

Chapter 245 The Arrival of the Ancient One? A Huge Gain (First Update)
Boros gave Tony Stark a cold glance, saying nothing. In fact, Boros had helped Tony Stark develop this suit of armor.
After all, without Boros providing the data, where would Tony Stark even begin his research? He couldn't very well go and fight Boros in a virtual battlefield, could he? Right now, Tony Stark has absolutely no hope of defeating Boros, and he'd even have difficulty collecting data... He'd be instantly killed.
Boros provided the data partly in the hope that Tony Stark could actually create armor of the same level as himself... so that he could fight against him in the future.
"Well then, everyone, I'll be taking my leave now." Tony Stark nodded to the crowd and returned to the Marvel universe.
“Sorcerer.” Tony Stark opened his eyes again, staring at the Ancient One before him, and solemnly conveyed the sacrificial words to her, emphasizing, “Ancient One, I am not sure if you can truly gain that being’s approval through these sacrificial words.”
"However... you should be out of danger this time. Of course, whether or not to perform the sacrifice is entirely up to you."
The Ancient One gave Tony Stark a deep look, closed her eyes, and chanted a sermon.
She knew Tony Stark very well. After all, she had seen countless futures of this man before her through time and space, and she believed in the hero's character.
The next moment, the Ancient One sensed...
It was a vast and profound world, with endless mists rising and surging, and stars flowing and evolving, as vast as a multiverse.
Above that vast world, a figure shrouded in mist stood silently.
He transcends worldly affairs and is not bound by any of the world's rules...
The moment their eyes met, the Ancient One shuddered. Her senses were too sharp, and she detected that indescribable, extreme feeling...
"This feeling... is incomprehensible, indescribable, no... no, it should be said that one cannot perceive His existence."
The Ancient One was shaken. Her experience was so rich that she subconsciously withdrew her senses, but her body still twitched.
Having been corrupted by darkness for many years, the Ancient One's tolerance for mental pollution and pain far exceeds that of ordinary people... But even so, the Ancient One was still breathing slightly, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and it took her a long time to catch her breath.
The Ancient One was deeply disturbed; she knew she had encountered an incredible being… one that surpassed even her comprehension and imagination…
"Yes." A calm word rang in her ears, and in the next instant, a huge change occurred beside the Ancient One.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange temple.
There were ancient bronze chairs all around, and the figures on some of the chairs were shrouded in mist, making their faces impossible to see, adding to the mystery.
Tony Stark, who was sitting in his seat, saw a new figure appear on a bronze chair. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hint of joy, "Master, you've successfully entered."
“Yes, I was so close to being rejected,” the Ancient One said frankly. She turned her head and gazed at the figure shrouded in mist sitting on the bronze throne. “You must be the one I was looking directly at earlier… Thank you for your mercy.”
The Ancient One spoke earnestly, “If it weren’t for the mist obscuring your body and the fact that you meant no harm… I might have lost my mind in an instant if I had looked directly at you.”
Aizen's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with turmoil and a sense of understanding.
Sure enough, even a top-tier powerhouse like the Ancient One, who could prevent the invasion of other-dimensional demons, was not qualified to look directly at the true form of the Council Chairman.
"Let me give you a brief introduction to the basics." Tony Stark suppressed his excitement and quietly explained the information about the Misty Space to the Ancient One.
Information that could not be revealed in the real world due to her identity could naturally be revealed after the Ancient One became a member of the council.
"So that's how it is." The Ancient One was shaken. A powerful council existing outside of this world...? And the world they inhabited was codenamed Marvel...
The Ancient One naturally knew that the world she lived in was not the only one she had ever inhabited, but rather one of countless parallel worlds and subsidiary planes.
It's quite obvious that no matter how many parallel universes or subsidiary worlds Marvel has, or how vast they may be... the Council Chairman unanimously classifies this world as a single world...
With a few exceptions, almost every member on site had a vast world standing in the void behind them.
"An existence beyond the world, indescribable and incomprehensible...? How transcendent and magnificent." After a brief silence, the Ancient One raised her palm, and cards materialized one by one.
Many people in the Mist Council stared blankly as they watched.
Because there are so many cards, nearly a hundred in total, they include everything from energy projection, penetrating objects, creating illusions, flight, hypnosis, protective shields, alchemy, telekinesis, teleportation, interdimensional teleportation, and remote summoning...
"My God." Tony Stark stared blankly at the Ancient One. Although he knew from the plot that the Ancient One was very strong, the concept was still very vague, especially since the Ancient One died at the hands of the villain.
Although she seemed to be seeking death, she ultimately died... But now, the Ancient One has demonstrated her true accumulated knowledge as the Sorcerer Supreme.
Aside from Boros, who was fond of battle and was now staring intently at the Ancient One, everyone else was deeply shaken and unable to contain themselves.
