739: Chapter 739 The world still has guardians? How come I didn't know that!

"Of course!" Clarissa nodded. "This is just a small matter for me."

"Holy crap! I beg you, you must help me!" Peter immediately said to Clarissa.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world," Clarissa said with a smile.

"Don't worry! You can make any request you want! Of course, things like making me stay wouldn't work... Oh right, and things that are illegal or criminal..." Peter shrugged and said to Clarissa.

"Hmm... I wouldn't need you for those kinds of things anyway." Clarissa looked at Peter and said, "Although you have some power, that's all it is."

Spider-Man's strength seemed formidable, but to Clarissa, let alone comparing him to her, he was far behind the Cultivators of her world.

No matter which aspect, at least it seemed so for now.

"Uh... okay~" Peter shrugged, not taking it to heart.

Besides, he was a newcomer; when he was captured, he had tried to resist.

Well, three punches shattered his will to resist—"Big brother, I'm one of yours!"

The weakest guards at the palace were in the Blazing Sun Realm; these were the Imperial Guards!

Even if Spider-Man had a hundred tons of physical strength, he couldn't win.

Knights in the Blazing Sun Realm had no lack of physical strength, and they also possessed "Qi" and Martial Skills.

With just pure physical strength, plus at most some spider silk and a "Sixth Sense," that was all there was to it.

"Don't worry, I won't make you do anything. I'm just curious about your world. Since you're a native, I'll naturally need your help. In a sense, I'm going there as a guest," Clarissa said to Peter with a smile.

"Going to my world?" Hearing this, the smile immediately vanished from Peter's face.

He fell into deep thought.

Although he had just arrived and hadn't interacted with much...

Just from the guards who captured him, he could already feel that this world was ridiculously strong...

The Prince before him even possessed the power of "Transmigration"... If she went to his world, he didn't know if it would be a good thing or a bad thing...

"Don't overthink it. I'm saying this because I can already go to your world at any time." Clarissa took a sip of tea leisurely and said to Peter, "This is also because of you. I don't know if you understand the concept of a World Anchor."

"Alright, I understand." As a "top student," Peter naturally understood, or at least got the general idea.

He knew what Clarissa was trying to express.

To put it bluntly, even if she kept him here forever, she could still go to his world whenever she wanted.

She didn't strictly need him.

But now, at least... she was showing goodwill.

"Well then, okay. But... my world... well, it's not as strong as this place, and it needs order! Also, you can't kill innocent people! Uh..." Peter said to Clarissa.

This world clearly looked "ancient," with Empresses and Princes who obviously held the "power of life and death."

If she went to his world, to be honest... no matter how optimistic Peter was, setting aside everything else, with Clarissa's looks and temperament, if she went out on the streets, trouble would definitely find its way to her.

And when such an existence was troubled in a world that wasn't her own, once she flew into a rage, it would cause a chain reaction.

It would be a huge mess!

That was why Peter had to consider this.

"I know. I've been to a similar world; it's called 'modern,' right?" Clarissa said with a smile. "It was a place called Lan Star."

"Uh..." Peter didn't correct the term "modern"; as long as the meaning was understood, it was fine. He nodded slightly; if she had been there before, then it would be easier to talk.

"Then that's fine. I'll be in your care!" Peter said to Clarissa.

"Then I'm taking him away," Clarissa turned and said to Alice.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Alice waved her hand; it wasn't like she could stop her.

As for worrying? Don't be ridiculous. With Clarissa's strength, what was there to worry about?

In the blink of an eye.

Peter felt the world before him blur, and when it returned to normal, it was a familiar sky.

The scent of home rushed toward him.

He was back! He was actually back!

Peter looked around excitedly at the familiar scenes and the familiar heavy traffic.

Clarissa stood to the side, watching the excited Peter, and glanced around calmly.

Hmm? Wait... who is watching me!

Clarissa's heart suddenly stirred; her Sixth Sense detected someone spying on her.

But this spying wasn't from someone hiding nearby.

It seemed to be... from within the river of time?

Clarissa frowned as the powers of Death and Calamity from "Reality" trembled slightly.

And just then, with a crack, the surrounding world "shattered."

The world became "inverted" and strange, as if placed within a Mirror Dimension.

Clarissa remained unmoved. She looked forward, and the figure of a bald woman emerged.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, guest from another world. My name is the The Ancient One."

"Hello!" Clarissa nodded slightly. Now that she had come to someone else's world, she was the visitor from another world. She guessed that the person before her was likely a world guardian or something similar.

After all, as someone who frequently crossed worlds, although she hadn't encountered such beings many times, she could figure out with a little thought that some worlds would definitely have such existences.

And here one was.

"Don't worry, I didn't come to this world to do anything bad," Clarissa took the initiative to say to the The Ancient One.

"I cannot see you in time," the The Ancient One said to Clarissa after a moment of deliberation.

She had used the Eye of Agamotto—the time stone—to peer at this visitor from another world.

The result: no past, no future, only the present!

The other party could not be peered into or predicted.

Moreover, she also saw the power of Reality, the power of Death and Calamity, on the other party!

With such a world-ending entity coming to Earth, she truly didn't know if it was for better or worse.

The key was, she wasn't even sure if she could deal with the other party.

Primarily because the essence of that power was of too high a grade.

Furthermore, behind the other party, there were faint traces of an even more terrifying faction (Cross-World Group) and another terrifying existence of the same origin (Deathwing).

She hadn't peered into them directly, but she had a faint perception.

Out of necessity, she had to come and find her personally.

"It's normal that you can't see me," Clarissa said with a smile. "I am unique."

"Let's talk..." the The Ancient One said to Clarissa.

"Alright," Clarissa nodded.

...

"Eh? Did you just disappear for a moment?" Peter suddenly noticed something and turned to speak to Clarissa.

"Yes, I had a chat with the guardian of your world," Clarissa nodded and said.

"Oh~ I see... Wait a second? World guardian?" Peter was dumbfounded.

"No, this world has a world guardian? Why didn't I know?"
