Reincarnated As Tony Stark With A Skill

Chapter 36 - Preparations 1

AN:Stuff below

-----

Ancient One led Tony to the room of relics.

Tony: What are we doing here? I though we were going to retrieve the Darkhold.

Ancient One: You should not underestimate that item. While the Darkhold is just a book, it was one of the basis of what we now use as magic.

Tony: I still don't understand why we need to go to this room of relics.

Ancient One: Because you need a relic of your own. An equipment that you could rely on at all times.

Tony: But I already have my suit.

AO: Very well, get your suit. It will be easier to demonstrate it to you.

Tony got a portal open to access his room. He got his luggage bag. He then emptied its contents back to his bed.

Tony laid the suitcase down on the floor. Two footprints appeared and Tony stepped on them.

The suit case started expanding and wrapping around his body.

This was a suit he designed based on Mark V. The difference is that the suit still has some space for luggage.

After Tony finished wearing the suit, Ancient One focused a bit and snapped. The next instance, Tony's armor started powering down.

Tony's helmet was still working fine but the HUD showed that all other parts of the armor were not working.

Tony: What did you do?

Ancient One: A simple technology barrier. It can disable equipment below a certain technology level.

Tony: I figure that out when my nanites reported about the suit's status. What I'm asking is how did you do this? I don't remember anything like this in any of the books in the library. And I've read every single one of them including the books in your shelf. I can tell you what words and in what page of any book but I don't remember any combination inside that can do this.

Ancient One: Wow, it only took you this short time to memorize everything. But I am sorry to tell you that this magic is not recorded inside the library.

Tony: Then what's with the knowledge available for everyone?

Ancient One: That was just a reason to leave the books about Dormammu inside the library. I can't just place that book there when I had the Eye of Agamotto. But we are getting of topic, as you can see, your suit is useless now.

Tony: I could just build a better suit to bypass that limit. I haven't even implemented nanites in the suit yet. I can still upgrade the suit, it's just that wasting precious resources like vibranium on something disposable is just a waste.

Ancient One: Without the infinity stones equipped to it. It would still be susceptible to external forces.

Tony: Fine, the relic is free anyway. Why am I even refusing free things now that I think about it.

Ancient One though to herself: I would say it is due to pride but I think you would be prideful to accept that.

Tony toured around the different relics store in Kamartaj as well as the different sanctums.

Tony also saw the cloak of levitation but it did not give a reaction to Tony like how it did to Strange in the movie.

Tony eventually finished the tour but no relic reacted to him.

Tony: What the hell, I know I haven't been to puberty yet but am I really that bad looking that no relic would pick me?

Ancient One: This is indeed most peculiar. Even I did not feel any reaction to the relics when you passed by them one by one.

Tony: So what, I'll never be a master now that I don't get a relic?

Ancient One: Of course not, we still have a storage for the relics that we were never able to identify. Maybe you could get a relic there.

Tony: Great, more disappointment for me. You know I have never been rejected like this my entire life?

They entered a certain room inside Kamartaj.

Tony: Was this room here before? I went all over the place but I never seem to remember seeing this room before.

Ancient One: Perception Camouflage, most people will pass by it like it is nothing. People who know what they are looking for would be able to find it.

Tony: I really need to find your hidden library, you save the good stuff for yourself.

AO: I would gladly direct you to it if you chose to become the next sorcerer supreme.

Tony: Just get me a relic already.

AO: Very well, you should create some of your clones since the relics here are not as organized as the ones outside.

Tony created some clones and everyone started diving into the piles of unidentified relics.

Tony saw all kinds of equipment. Some clones popped out when they were poked by points or edge of blades.

Ancient One: This clone skill of yours is truly interesting. They could work independently without your supervision.

Tony: Why? Isn't there a cloning technique in the library? Never practised that magic much since I already have these guys.

Clones: Thanks boss, we love you too.

Tony: Just continue your work already.

Ancient One: That right there is why. The cloning magic we have is like a hive-mind. Yours on the other hand, can copy the soul to another body.

Tony: Copy? I though my clones were just a construct made from chakra?

Ancient One: You haven't tried to test the capabilities of your skill?

Tony: I did before I got here. I know about the range and memory transfer. I even know that I can share consciousness with them when I focus enough. That was all the limits I remember I based this gift on anyway.

Ancient One: "Well then you should know that your clones have a copy of your soul in them. Not just a fragment, a copy with link to all your other souls. That copying is the energy consuming part of your skill. Creating a copy of a soul is not something

The body construct is something common but I guess you know that since you know how fragile your clones are.

The rest I can leave for you to discover."

Tony: Thanks, I guess?

While Tony was about to ask a question.

Clone Tony: Ahhhh, what the hell? What is with this sword?

Tony and Ancient One looked to direction of the clone that shouted. They saw the clone holding a pure black sword. The sword was switching forms from a katana, a western two-edged blade, to other blade weapons like a scythe.

Tony: What is that, the Ebony sword?

AO: No that sword is already identified and you even passed by it some time ago.

Tony: How about Asgardian?

AO: Not the Asgardian technology that I know of. I know their energy signature as well as Dwarven forging characteristics and this does not match any of those things.

Tony: Then what else? I only know of one other black sword but I am not sure it is even in this universe. How did you get this anyway?

AO: This blade just came from space eons ago. It was releasing a malevolent aura before so the previous sorcerer supremes isolated that sword in a separate space. I only stored it back here when the sword's aura was mostly gone and that it can't affect any master accidentally.

Tony: Wait, did it change forms like it did now? It looks like a nanite weapon made with all that shape-shifting.

AO: It never did when I was handling it. And there was no traces of it being some high technology equipment since this room has more disabling runes applied to it that most other rooms.

Tony: Yikes, I don't think I want to use that weapon then.

AO: But this is the only relic that reacted to you. The only other way to have a relic is if you create one yourself. Are you sure you don't want to use it?

Tony: It's not that I don't want to. It's just that I don't think I can handle its influence on me.

AO: What do you mean by that? This sword is not cursed .

Tony: No it is not. But it doesn't mean that this thing will still not affect me. I am not sure if this is what I think it is since I was supposed to be in the [email protected]# (AN: MCU censored due to god)

AO: Supposed to be where? I don't think I ever heard what you just said.

Tony: [email protected]#, What the? [email protected]#, !!!!!! @@@@@@##### (MCU, MCU, Marvel Cinematic Universe) . Huh? I guess I am not supposed to say that then.

AO: Is this related to your previous life?

Tony: Yeah, but not sure why I can't say this when I can talk about the future and past.

AO: Then I can only guess, but is this crucial to the origins of this sword?

Tony: Sorta, this sword is not allowed in [email protected]#(MCU) due to some [email protected]#$ (Ownership) problems.

AO: Then what do you plan to do with this?

Tony: Not sure, Can I ask a favor from you?

AO: Related to this relic?

Tony: Yeah, but lets go somewhere else first.
