Kapitel 593: The New Sorcerer Supreme

"So, what is the plan?" asked the Ancient One.

"I have a few ideas, but I need a few days to plan everything out," grunted Edward, caressing his head. "Beforehand, you must prepare to hand over the Sorcerer Supreme position in about three months."

"That seems a little fast, but alright. Anything specific you want me to do?"

"First, show the others that you are mentoring me personally. Second, after a month, release a rumor that I'm the next Sorcerer Supreme. In the second month, release a rumor that you will retire, and in the third month, we hold a public ceremony for my new position."

Edward noticed many of these Sorcerers' extreme worship of the Ancient One, so no one would doubt her decision. However, they might be reluctant to watch her retire, which could cause trouble enacting his plans if those people do not respect or accept his authority.

"Very well," nodded the Ancient One, and Edward left for his room. Morgana appeared and asked: "What's the plan? Do you want to start training these people in the ways of Arcane Magic?"

"Yes, but we cannot follow the same path as our home."

"I was going to suggest thinking of an alternative method since we are running out of time." The Empire's magical system took too much time, effort, and resources; as such, it was not suitable since they only had less than three decades.

"What's your plan?" she asked.

Edward waved his hand to manifest a hologram created from his thoughts, "These people are Sorcerers, so let's use this fact to our advantage." Morgana looked at the schematic before her, deep in thought.

"This is good, especially since this world favors the Sorcerer Way of magic."

"That's what I was thinking."

"In that case, let's get to work. We have a lot to do," said the purple-haired elf, dressed like Sorcerers. Edward began his work, and starting the following day, he would receive lessons from Mordo in the morning, read in the library in the afternoon, and learn with the Ancient One at night. Then, as he said, in just two weeks, he would master all the knowledge in Kamar-Taj.

Mirror Dimension:

Edward bent the entire city of New York so that the skyscrapers became the sky. "This world's understanding and application of the Mirror Dimension is truly advanced."

"Indeed," nodded Morgana, who also began stacking skyscrapers to create a building that rushed from the ground to the moon; she was having too much fun. "I feel like we can benefit immensely in this world if we can survive the turmoil."

Edward agreed with this statement. After applying what he had learned for a few hours, he left the Mirror Dimension to continue his work. However, as soon as he appeared, Mordo rushed into his room.

"Emergency: we're under attack."

"From who or what?"

"The Fierce Beast Dimension," replied Mordo, who seemed to hesitate about something.

"What is it?"

"The Ancient One wishes you to participate."

"Is there a problem with that?"

Mordo sighed, "You are probably the most talented Sorcerer Kamar Taj has ever seen. But it doesn't change the fact that you're young and inexperienced. I fear she might be sending you into battles too soon."

Edward looked at him oddly, considering he was much older than Mordo by a few centuries—no, millennia. However, he accepted the latter's concern. Previously, he might have thought it was right to let Mordo follow his previous path, but he would not do so for many reasons.

Firstly, he saw that Mordo was a kind and understanding individual, just a little stubborn in his ways. His act of putting the Ancient One on a pedestal was one of the causes of his downfall. Secondly, he could not give up such a talented Sorcerer if he wanted to have a chance to survive the Multiversal War.

Edward patted his shoulder, "I have seen horrors you could not possibly imagine. Plus, I'm way older than you by a few centuries."

Mordo looked at him, "Are you serious?"

"I don't need to lie," replied Edward. "Talent is insufficient to explain how quickly I can learn and adapt."

"You've dabbled in the mystic art before."

"Yes, and for centuries. However, my way differs from yours, so I needed to adapt," he explained.

"But…"

"I know you have many questions, but they will be answered soon enough. Now, let's go."

Edward headed to a place inside the temple where he was first transported to the New York Sanctorum before being teleported to an unknown place with purple sky, earth, and grass. A black portal stood in the distance, surrounded by countless Sorcerers.

"Is this the Dimension Nullifier?"

"Exactly," said the Ancient One, who opened a portal beside him. "I thought you should watch how we faced these threats and maybe see if there are any improvements you can make."

Edward nodded as he watched the battle. The fierce beast, who looked like mutated creatures from Earth, became drastically weaker once they passed through the portal, giving the Sorcerer a decent chance in the fight.

The Sorcerers were pretty organized. The weaker and inexperienced ones worked together to cast defensive shields on others or use attacks like Eldritch Whip to restrict the enemy. The more powerful ones directly confronted these creatures.

Two creatures saw Edward and the Ancient One in the distance and leaped dozens of meters into the sky toward them. Edward waved his hand to open a portal and closed it, cutting the creature in half. The Ancient One remained quiet, not batting an eye.

Edward lowered his body to look at the creature, "What do you do with the bodies?"

"We used some of them to make Relics, but most are sent to the Inferno Dimension for recycling," explained the Ancient One.

"I may have a better use for them," he muttered. The two watched this battle, only helping to ensure no one died. Once that was over, the dimensional portal closed, and Earth was safely protected.

"What do you think?"

"Besides missing healing and buff spells, I have no comment, given the low numbers and fighting style."

"Those types of magic are not our strong suit," nodded the Ancient One.

Three months passed, and it was Edward's crowning ceremony to become the Sorcerer Supreme. The Sorcerers were unsurprised as these rumors had been spreading for months, but some people still felt it was too soon for the Ancient One to retire. Regardless, the majority of Sorcerers across the three sanctums, leaving a few people to protect them.

The ceremony went smoothly as the Ancient One handed him the Eye of Agamotto. Edward then looked at the crowd to begin his speech.

"I know many of you have questions, feeling this situation is a little rushed," he said in a voice everyone could hear. "And I can tell you there is a reason for everything." The Sorcerers focused their eyes, listening deeply.

"The Ancient One saw a terrifying future where we failed our missions to protect Earth and our reality. Our universe was wiped out from existence."

These sorcerers looked at him as if he were crazy. However, after seeing the seriousness in his expression and the Ancient One's nod, they began to murmur.

"How could this happen?" asked someone.

"I can show you if you desire," said Edward as he snapped his finger, showing them snippets of the terrible future he saw. Many people immediately began to yell:

"Impossible."

"That's not true; that's an illusion."

"So much death."

"My family — how can they survive such a catastrophe?"

Edward frowned, realizing these people might go insane as their minds break. So, he snapped his finger to remove the memory from their mind but left the impression the memory had on them.

"Is this…really the future?" asked Wong.

Edward did not answer but motioned for the Ancient One to say something, "Yes. I saw this future years ago and have been preparing to change it. I saw countless futures and possibilities, and the best answer I came up with is him." She pointed at Edward.

"How can he help us?"

"He has mystical knowledge from an extremely advanced magical civilization," the Ancient explained. " With that knowledge and his decisive and unorthodox means, we will have a slight chance of survival."

The sorcerers quieted down briefly before saying, "Salutation to the Sorcerer Supreme." This chant echoed throughout the entire mountain. Edward nodded calmly.

"The Ancient One might have sugar-coated things for you, but I won't. My unorthodox means are cruel, inhumane, vile, and devoid of any morality. In other words, I will do whatever it takes to protect the Earth and our reality.

"I don't expect you to accept some of my actions, but you must follow them. If you're unwilling, please be prepared to leave, as I will not accept insubordination. I am responsible for the lives of too many people, and I will not consider your feelings or morality when protecting them.

"Is that understood?"


Kapitel 594: The New Kamar Taj (I)

All the sorcerers looked at each other. This was not something they could easily accept. They spent most of their lives under the teachings of being disciplined, morally upright and respecting the laws of nature. However, today, their leader told them they must throw away these ideals and codes that some of them spent decades living by.

"I know this is difficult to accept," continued Edward. "So, you have three days to decide. If you feel this is unacceptable, you can leave Kamar Taj and return to your mundane life. Kamar Taj will still be your home and family; you can return to ask for any help if needed.

"You can choose the second path if this is unacceptable to you, but you still want to continue your duty. You will then become non-combatant and be assigned to more assistant roles.

"As for the rest, if you choose to say, know things will change; you should be prepared to sacrifice everything for this job."

The ceremony became quiet for a moment before a sorcerer raised his hand, "Sorcerer Supreme, I respect you for telling the truth, but I am of the belief that how we win matters more than winning itself. So, I cannot accept that I have to sacrifice others and commit countless atrocities just to save my own behind. I choose to leave."

"That's fair," nodded Edward. "Sorcerer Andreas, I salute you for all your years of service." After saluting him, Andreas did the same. Soon afterward, more than ten sorcerers chose the same path as them. The others still had not decided, so the assembly ended.

After the meeting ended, Edward rested in his room. He knew these sorcerers should be talking to the Ancient One, getting more information and her perspective. They've known her longer and trust her regarding such a thing. Additionally, many people are confused and could use her guidance.

Edward entered the Mirror Dimension before activating the Time Stone to summon Time Duplicates of the Soul Stone, absorbing all its energy into his soul. The Soul Divination process had made tremendous progress, but he felt he was far from the Soul Flame level equaled to Tier 11 and above. He suddenly sensed something and stopped his actions before leaving the mirror dimension.

"Mordo?" Edward did not expect his presence.

"I…came to talk to you. I'm…confused," said Mordo after a brief pause.

"I'm all ears," said Edward, waving his hand to manifest a chair and tea before inviting him.

"You may not know this, but my past was filled with hatred and violence. Unlike the others, I came to Kamar Taj for power and revenge," explained Mordo. "The Ancient One taught me how to control that violent side of me, and only recently could I say that I was successful.

"But now, after the future you showed us, and what you said, I can see myself slipping. Everything I know and the beliefs I held on to seemed to be slipping; I'm confused and don't know what to do."

Mordo's eyes were red as if his madness and confusion were affecting him physically.

"Drink some tea."

"I don't want tea — I want answers."

"You can have both," said Edward. At his insistence, Mordo finally drank the tea, feeling an unknown energy rush into his brain and calm his mind.

"Have you ever watched the movie The Princess Bride?" Mordo looked at him, wondering why he was talking about a movie when he was asking for answers and guidance.

"I'm assuming that's a no," said Edward with a smile. "One of my favorite characters in that movie was Inigo Montaya. I love the man because he is one of the few characters in literature portrayed as having no regrets after accomplishing his revenge. Everyone else feels a sense of regret and emptiness once they've killed the people who've wronged them."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Inigo was not affected by his revenge because he knew it was wrong but accepted it as necessary to give him closure. Once it was done, he did not let his actions or his past define him—he processed his trauma, moved on, and lived a happy and fulfilling life.

"But you, on the other hand, are defined by your past actions. You fear you will return to your former self, return to a life of unrestrained violence. So, to protect yourself from reverting to your old self, you build an ideology on stubborn and rigid respect for the Ancient One or the traditional laws of the universe.

"You know these things are constant and will not change. So, you believe as long as you follow them and keep them as a tether, you won't change — you can be the calm and wise Master of the Mystic Arts instead of the violent Mordo."

"Is there something wrong with that?"

"Many," replied Edward. "You cannot live for others. Humans are complicated, and I guarantee you the Ancient One you know is only an ideal version you've created in your mind. She has lived so long that you cannot fathom what secrets she's hiding or how much she's changed from when she first became a sorcerer."

"What about the natural order of things? Surely there is nothing wrong with living by such a philosophy," Mordo asked.

"There isn't," nodded Edward. "The issue is extremism, to the point of accepting any act of bending the laws for a greater cause."

"Then, what am I supposed to do?"

"I recommend leaving Kamar Taj and finding a therapist to deal with your past and find yourself. Then, you can choose whether to return and in what capacity."

"I see." Mordo left his room, and the next day, he also left Kamar Taj. On the third day, Edward gathered everyone again, and this time, he lost 10% of the sorcerers who left and another 20% who chose to become non-combatants.

"I'm glad so many of you stayed," said Edward. "We have a lot of work to do, so if you have any questions about what I previously said, do it now."

"I have a question, but not about what you said," said Wong.

"What is it?"

"What do we call you?"

"Excuse me?"

"We can't call you Sorcerer Supreme, as that's more of a title. So, now that you're in this position, how should we address you?"

"You can continue calling me by name or call me the Arcane Emperor. It's your choice, and I don't mind either way," replied Edward. "Anything else." No one had a question. 

"In that case, let's begin." He waved his hand to manifest a contract before everyone else. "You will all access valuable knowledge, many of which must be protected to prevent getting into the wrong hands. This contract is to protect that knowledge."

The sorcerers looked at the contract, which was pretty basic, with straightforward wording. So, they signed it.

Edward nodded before pointing at Wong. "Come to the front for a demonstration." Although baffled, Wong walked to the front.

"What is the biggest restriction of Sorcerers?" asked Edward, who immediately answered the question. "Our bodies and souls cannot bear certain energies, so we must rely on Relic. But that will be no more." He raised his hand to summon a yellow rune floating before him.

"Close your eyes and receive the information in this rune." Wong followed the order, and more than five minutes later, he opened his eyes and raised his fists to summon a white aura around them.

"What's this? I feel so powerful," proclaimed Wong. A white aura appeared on his legs, and he jumped more than five meters into the distance before punching a large rock, which his hand penetrated.

"This is [Combat Aura] — a form of power created by combining dimensional energy with the Life Energy in your bodies. It will push your physical abilities to limits you never thought possible," explained Edward. "And with such powerful bodies, you can now tap into energies you never thought you could bore without dying."

The sorcerers looked at Wong with shining eyes. They all loved magic, so why would they not be excited about a new form of mystic art?

"These are just the obvious benefits," said Edward. "There are others, like healing, defense, and ensuring you can live at least 120 years without illness or pain. Of course, you have to survive if you want to enjoy the last benefit." The joyful mood immediately disappeared, replaced by a somber tone.

"Let's proceed to the next one."
