41. Can he save the Earth? How can he save it!
"Sorcerer, you, you, you…!"
Kamar-Taj.
The training grounds.
At this mont, Mordo beside the Ancient One was trembling all over.
His face was filled with shock and disbelief.
Just monts ago, he was saying he didn't believe the Ancient One would draw power from the Dark Dinsion.
But the next second, the video slapped him hard!
That mark explained everything…!
Although he believed that the Ancient One must have her reasons for doing so, he still found it hard to accept.
It was as if his faith had collapsed at that mont.
He stared intently at the Ancient One.
Hoping she would explain.
But the Ancient One was just as she appeared in the video.
Her face trembled slightly.
But she still did not state her reasons for doing so.
Mordo saw this,
Turned and left, no longer lingering… His heart seed to die at this mont… And the many magic apprentices below, seeing this scene,
Also sighed with emotion.
They didn't know much about the power of the Dark Dinsion.
Naturally, they weren't as resistant as Mordo.
Their attention was more focused on the Ancient One's death.
After all, as the Sorcerer Supre, why would she die so easily...?
This is what they wanted to know, and what Stephen himself wanted to know... The video continued.
The music beca softer, like a reminiscence of the past.
The excited emotions of countless people gradually subsided, becoming gentle.
That night, inside the hospital, the Ancient One's body was being resuscitated.
However, her soul had already left, quietly observing the distance.
At this mont, it was as if the entire World had stopped.
The thundering sky, lightning like a spiderweb, and a roaring helicopter frozen above.
And Stephen's soul, following the Ancient One, ca to the balcony outside.
"Don't do this, you need to get back to your body quickly, you're running out of Ti," Stephen said anxiously.
If not for the Ancient One, he wouldn't be who he is now.
To him, the Ancient One was like a master.
Watching her die with his own eyes was incredibly painful.
However, the Ancient One remained calm, as if detached from the mortal World, and replied:
"I spent too much Ti peering into the future, seeing this mont, but not beyond. I prevented countless terrible futures, one after another, endlessly, all leading to this mont, stopping at this mont."
"Are you saying you feel you die at this mont?" Stephen didn't understand.
And the people watching the video also didn't understand.
"Do you want to see your future?"
"No, well, yes."
As the Ancient One spoke these words, Stephen, watching the video, also stared intently at the screen, wanting to see more of the future.
Then he heard the Ancient One say:
"I have never seen your future, only glimpses of possibilities. You have the capacity for great good. You are always outstanding, but not because you crave success, but because you fear failure. Arrogance has always bound you..."
The conversation between the Ancient One and Stephen was long, but it not only addressed Stephen's issues but also told him that sotis one needs to break conventions, just as she drew power from the Dark Dinsion, to achieve great things.
Disappearing.
When the Ancient One let go of Stephen's hand, looking back, only Stephen's lonely figure remained.
Now everyone finally understood why the Ancient One chose death.
Because she had grown weary of eternal life, and had found a suitable successor—Stephen.
She believed Stephen would surely break the things that bound him, beco the First Generation Sorcerer Supre, and fight Dormammu...!
The background music changed from gentle to tragic.
Zeaser's low voice also sounded.
"With the Ancient One's death, Stephen finally understood the responsibility he bore."
"However, with the destruction of the three Sanctums, when Dormammu, the supre being of the Dark Dinsion, invades Earth..."
"How will Stephen Strange face such a terrifying enemy alone?!"
"Will he truly be able to save Earth as the Ancient One hoped?!"
As Zeaser's words faded, the video continued.
The three Sanctums were destroyed one by one by Kaecilius and his subordinates.
Without the protection of the three Sanctums, Dormammu, the supre being of the Dark Dinsion, descended upon Earth!
"Boom boom boom!!!" Earth-shattering explosions continuously resounded, countless flas accompanied by the unique purple aura of the Dark Dinsion surged and roared, and the dark energy diffused, engulfing everything around, creating an imnse spectacle!
Screams, wails, and car crashes echoed throughout the space, and Kaecilius and others also engaged in a great battle with Stephen and Mordo!
Just then, Stephen prepared to break convention, using the power of the Ti Stone to restore everything to the past.
But it was ultimately broken by Kaecilius.
The Ti magic array shattered, but everything around seed to freeze.
People in the Universe watching the video were astonished by the power of the Ti Stone.
Despite this, their attention was mostly focused on the sky, because they saw that within the seven-colored aura, which seed to break through dinsional walls, there must be a huge danger—Dormammu!
However, what they didn't expect was that Doctor Strange, Stephen, actually entered it directly...!
"Holy crap! How dare he?! Does he think he's Hulk?!"
"I'm stunned, if you just walk in there, wouldn't you die in one move in front of Dormammu?"
"Can he really win? I don't believe it..."
"I calculated fourteen million possible endings, he definitely dies in all of them."
"Fourteen million is too few, I think he dies in one breath in front of Dormammu..."
In the Universe, countless people held no hope.
Many of them knew Dormammu's power.
No matter how talented Stephen was, he couldn't possibly defeat Dormammu.
So countless people didn't believe he could defeat Dormammu.
However, to the surprise of many, Zeaser's voice then rang out:
"The answer, of course, is that he successfully saved Earth!"
!!!
Countless people were utterly bewildered.
They couldn't imagine any way to save Earth!
They even started betting on it!
"I bet ten thousand galaxy coins, he's definitely dead!"
"I bet a hundred thousand, Earth is definitely dood this Ti!"
"How can he possibly win! You Dog Author, you're getting worse and worse, every Ti there's a twist, I won't fall for it this Ti! I bet fifty thousand, he's definitely going to lose!"
Many people were indignant.
They had even co to understand that this Dog Author liked to play with twists.
Although every Ti he managed to pique their curiosity, this Ti, they chose to resist to the end, absolutely refusing to believe he could win.
After all, no one could imagine how he could win... except for one person.
That was the Ancient One... Watching the video, she nodded in satisfaction, whispering softly:
"It seems you truly broke convention... Very good...!"
