Chapter 43: Can He Save the Earth?
"Ancient One, you, you, you..."
At this moment, Mordo beside the Ancient One was trembling.
He had just said that he didn't believe the Ancient One would draw power from the Dark Dimension. However, the next moment, the video slapped him hard.
The mark explained everything.
Although Mordo believed that the Ancient One must have her reasons for doing this, he still found it hard to accept.
His eyes were fixed on the Ancient One, hoping she could explain. But the Ancient One was just like in the video.
She still hadn't told the reason why she did it.
Mordo saw this, turned, and left.
His heart seemed dead at this moment, and many magical apprentices below witnessing this also marked a moment of sadness.
They didn't know much about the power of the Dark Dimension. Of course, they weren't as powerful as Mordo.
Their attention was more focused on the death of the Ancient One.
After all, she was the Sorcerer Supreme.
Why did she die so easily?
That's what they wanted to know, and that's what Stephen himself wanted to know.
The video continued.
In the hospital, the Ancient One's body was being saved. However, her soul had already left.
The thunderous sky was covered with lightning, and helicopters roared above.
Stephen's soul also followed the Ancient One to the outer balcony.
"Stop, you must return to your body immediately; you're running out of time."
This time, Stephen said anxiously. Without the Ancient One, there would be no him now. For him, the Ancient One was like a master.
It was painful to watch her die with his own eyes.
However, the Ancient One was always so calm, as if she was detached from the human world, and answered:
"I have spent too much time peeking into the future, seeing this moment, but unable to see further. I have prevented countless bad futures, one by one, never-ending, all leading me to this moment and stopping at this moment."
"Meaning, you feel like you're going to die right now?"
Stephen didn't understand.
People watching the video didn't understand either.
"Do you want to see your future?"
"I don't want to, okay, I want to."
Right when the Ancient One spoke these words, Stephen who was watching the video, also stared at the screen.
Then he heard the Ancient One say:
"I have never seen your future, only a few possibilities. You have the ability to do great good. You've always been exceptional, but not because you want success, but because you fear failure. Arrogance has always hindered you."
The conversation between the Ancient One and Stephen was very long.
It wasn't just about Stephen's issues. The Ancient One also told him that sometimes people need to break the rules, like she absorbed power from the Dark Dimension to achieve great accomplishments.
When the Ancient One released Stephen's hand, only Stephen's lonely back remained.
Now everyone finally understood.
Why did the Ancient One choose to die?
Because she hated eternal life.
A suitable successor was found – Stephen.
The Ancient One believed Stephen would surely break the shackles that held him.
Become the Sorcerer Supreme and oppose Dormammu.
Lin Lan's heavy voice was also heard.
"After the Ancient One died, Stephen finally understood the responsibility he carried."
"However, the three temples were destroyed when Dormammu, the Supreme Being of the Dark Dimension, invaded Earth."
"How will Stephen Strange face such a frightening enemy alone?"
"Can he truly succeed in saving the Earth as hoped by the Ancient One?"
Lin Lan had just finished speaking.
The video continued.
The three major temples were destroyed one by one by Casillas and his henchmen.
Losing the protection of the three main temples, Dormammu came to Earth.
Explosions echoed one after another, and the flames with the unique purple of the Dark Dimension. Dense clouds of dark energy swept, swallowing everything around them, creating tremendous momentum.
Screams, cries, and the crashes of cars echoed throughout the space, and Casillas and the others also began the fight with Stephen and Mordo.
At this moment, Stephen was ready to break the mold. He used the power of the Time Stone to reverse everything to the past.
It was finally broken by Casillas.
The time loop had been shattered, everything around seemed frozen.
People in the universe watching the video saw this scene and admired the power of the Time Stone.
However, most of their attention was on the sky; they were certain there was a great danger hidden behind the colorful mist seemingly penetrating the dimensional wall – Dormammu.
But what they didn't expect was that Doctor Strange actually went straight in.
"Oh my. How dare he. Does he think he's Hulk?"
"Foolish. If you send him straight to the door, won't he die in one move in front of Dormammu?"
"Can he really win? Why don't I believe it."
"He has calculated fourteen million possibilities, and he will surely die in all of those misfortunes."
"Fourteen million misfortunes are fewer. I think he will die in one breath in front of Dormammu."
In the universe, many people had no hope, and many of those who knew Dormammu's power.
No matter how talented Stephen was, it was impossible for him to defeat Dormammu. Therefore, many people didn't believe that he could defeat Dormammu.
Unexpectedly for many, Lin Lan's voice was heard next.
"The answer is, of course, he successfully saved the Earth."
Many people looked confused, really unable to think of any way to save the Earth.
There were even special bets for this.
"I bet 10,000 Galaxy coins; he will definitely die."
"I bet 100,000 Galaxy coins; the Earth will definitely be destroyed this time."
"How can Doctor Strange win? The creator is getting worse. Every time he makes a change, I won't be fooled by you this time. So I bet 50,000 Galaxy coins; he will lose."
Although they could tease their curiosity at any moment, this time, they chose to reject until the end, not believing at all that Doctor Strange could win. After all, no one could imagine how this could be won.
Except for one person, the Ancient One.
She who was watching the video nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems like you really broke the rules... Quite impressive."
