The conversation between the Ancient One and Strange revealed a lot. After analysis by multiple groups, they quickly gathered in the High Council. Several councilors looked at the information at hand and communicated with each other. Some decisions may be made based on this information.
Councilor Sith put down the information in his hand. He looked around and said, "It's very clear now. As the Supreme Sorcerer, it is not so easy for the Ancient One to die. There is only one answer: the Ancient One herself gave up hope of life."
Councilor Hyeon nodded and said, "These analyses are similar to what we deduced. The Ancient One mentioned that she can see the timeline and can peek into the future. Obviously, her death is necessary in her opinion."
Councilor Gladwin said, "The Ancient One doesn't seem to be assimilated by dark energy. She still wants to defend the world. Then her death is also aimed at protecting the world."
Seemingly contradictory behavioral inferences, but it made everyone think the same thing.
"Dormammu and Strange, something is clearly going to happen between the two of them. It's very likely that Strange will take out Dormammu." Councilor Kennedy said, "This is one of the possible outcomes of her seeing the timeline."
"So what she did was right." Councilor Hyeon sighed: "It's just that all the pressure now depends on Strange. If he can't act in the future as she sees, I'm afraid that Earth will be in greater danger."
The crowd nodded. About the behavior of the Ancient One, many people may not understand, but there are deeper reasons. A little analysis will tell.
Gladwin said, "It seems that the past life of this person, the people being followed, are truly extraordinary."
A councilor said, "Have we discovered anything related to the Supreme Sorcerer or Dormammu now?"
The crowd shook their heads.
"Even without the danger, that trace in space is enough for us to deal with." Councilor Sith smiled and said, "I just don't know if we are protected by a mysterious Sorcerer now."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. It is not known how many years ago the Earth was. No one thought about whether such a Sorcerer could really continue to guard Terra.
"Look at Strange and the others; how do they deal with the invasion of the dark world?" Everyone turned their attention to the screen.
The captured footage continues to play.
The battle at Sanctum seems to be about to break out. Both sides are engaged in tense combat preparations. In a ruined temple, Mordo stood alone among the ruins. Look at the broken rocks around. He was very uncomfortable. Especially when the Ancient One got her energy from Dormammu, it made him unbearably uncomfortable. A teacher he has always trusted would actually do such a thing.
Strange opened the portal from behind and walked in. Strange said in a low mood: "She's dead."
Mordo said instead, "You were right. She wasn't who I thought she was."
Strange said, "She was complicated."
"Complicated?" Mordo spread his hands and said, "The Dark Dimension is volatile. Dangerous. What if it overtook her? She told us it was forbidden..." Mordo choked, "While she drew on its energy to steal centuries of life."
Strange corrected: "She did what she thought was right."
"The bill comes due," Mordo said. Looking back at Strange, Mordo said, "Don't you see? Her transgression led the zealots to Dormammu. Kaecilius was her fault. And here we are, in the consequences of her deception: a world on fire."
Strange looked at him and said, "Mordo, the London Sanctum has collapsed. The New York one has been attacked twice. You know where they are going next."
Mordo's eyes are insane: "Hong Kong."
Strange said loudly, "You told me to fight like my life depended on it because one day it might. Well, today is that day. I cannot defeat them alone."
With that said, Strange opened the portal. Mordo pondered a little and rushed into the portal.
Many viewers expressed doubts about Mordo's state.
"I don't feel right; Mordo has a fight with that Kaecilius."
"Will he become a vassal of the Dark Dimension in the future?"
"Is there something wrong with this group of people? The Ancient One doesn't care what she taught you; what does it have to do with her?"
"I eat apples and give you bananas, and you blame me for not giving you apples? Brainless!"
"Sure enough, people's hearts are the problem."
"Anyway, the Ancient One is dead. Who will deal with Dormammu?"
"Strange and Mordo? I don't think so."
"Dormammu's existence beyond time can't think of what to do."
The two rushed to the Hong Kong Sanctum. It was found that the entire street had been severely damaged. There were shouts of people everywhere. The fire blazed into the sky.
Strange looked ahead. "The Sanctum has already fallen."
Right in front of the Hong Kong Sanctum, an indescribable dark purple void devoured the Sanctum and quickly spread out in all directions. With enough time, this strange space will devour the entire planet.
Mordo stared over there: "The Dark Dimension. Dormammu is coming. It's too late. Nothing can stop him."
This terrible scene was even more shocking than Chitauri's attack before. Viewers were almost standing to watch this scene as they were scared.
"Is this scene before Dormammu appeared?"
"The world of darkness is simply unstoppable!"
"It's no wonder that gaining power from there is on a different level compared to the Earth."
"Does Dormammu have an avatar? I don't know what form it exists in."
"Neither of them has much fighting power."
"If the Ancient One is here, there must be a way to prevent this from happening."
"Dormammu is so strong, he will devour the world in the end."
"Then you mean we're all living in Dormammu's belly now?"
"Not necessarily; it's possible that Dormammu later died, and we were back in the universe."
"By the way, Thor talked about the composition of the world before, which is completely different from what it is now. Doesn't it mean that there are two universes?"
"Not necessarily, maybe in a different place in the universe?"
"The Earth era is too miserable; there are all kinds of monsters."
In the administration.
Everyone, like the audience, after seeing the momentum of the dark world of Dormammu, was horrified. Unknown forces are always scary, especially as many have said before. How strong are Dormammu and the Dark Dimension? A world that can make people live forever. Absolutely, I can easily handle the world of the Earth Age.
Johan frowned and said, "It's strange; as soon as the Ancient One died, this thing successfully invaded. It seems that it was deterred by the Ancient One before, and Dormammu did not dare to attack the Earth directly."
Everyone nodded at the same time. This was all speculation, but it's more obvious now that it's the real reason.
Xiaotian sneered: "In my opinion, Ancient One believes too much in the illusory things of the future. If she can see the future, then she should preserve her strength rather than choose death."
Hawking said, "One world eats another. Never heard of it, and never seen it. This, in my opinion, is really spectacular!"
Hawking's perspective is different from everyone else's, but many people reacted.
"The world eats the world? What are the rules?
"Could it be that the universe can move?
"Or is it like the previous theory of cosmic inflation, the cosmic space of the Earth's age, being swallowed by Dormammu's dark world inflation?"
"It is possible that this is the case; this world-devouring phenomenon cannot be explained."
Hawking listened to the discussion. After a pause, he shook his head and said, "If I use a parallel universe as a theoretical basis, then this kind of situation, where the world swallows the world, is because Dormammu's parallel world changed at the same point in time. Causes two parallel worlds to intertwine with each other, resulting in an eventual engulfment."
What Hawking said, everyone listened in a fog. But in any case, this situation is very dangerous for the Earth. If you can't find a way to solve the problem, I am afraid they have to start over. Including historical structures that have accumulated over hundreds of years. After all, they may not be in the same universe.
The director made no statement this time. Instead, look at the analysis data sent by other analysis teams. Every time I watch one, I feel very bad. Earth Age, whether under Dormammu or under the Purple Monster, or even Asgard, is extremely fragile. The Avengers are just the top few.
"If there is a large-scale battle, it is obviously not enough to rely on these few people alone." Take a long breath, the Director kept his eyes on the screen.
Just the next moment, their faces showed a shocked expression. The Director even stood up directly, watching excitedly.
In the captured image,
Mordo looked at the Sanctum that was rapidly being destroyed, but Strange did not show decadence. Instead, his eyes flickered, thinking of a new way.
"Not necessarily." Strange made magical gestures with both hands, pulling on the Eye of Agamotto, and opened it.
Green light flickered in his hands, and a green magic circle appeared in his palm. Making full use of his power, Strange pointed ahead and unleashed the wave of the Eye of Agamotto!
"No." Kaecilius noticed something was wrong and rushed forward. The transparent blade beneath him leapt high, and he suddenly stabbed toward Strange.
With a low hum, the time of the entire space seemed to be imprisoned. The magic light circle in Strange's hand released a dazzling glow. The transparent blade and Kaecilius, which were about to strike, went from fast to slow and finally froze completely in midair.
Strange gritted his teeth, his wrist shaking, and began rotating the magic circle of light. With its rotation, everything visible and invisible around them returned to their previous positions.
The fallen plaque jumped back on its own. The water on the ground flowed back into the pool. One by one, the injured people stood up and returned to where they had been. Tall buildings and even pedestrians reverted to their original states. Kaecilius also regressed uncontrollably, and the transparent blade in his hand disappeared.
Everything looked bizarre and almost comical, yet the power was boundless.
"Damn it! This trick is incredible!"
"Insane! If you didn't know better, you'd think the world was reversed!"
"With this thing, what is there to fear?!"
"First order! 1:1 model of the Eye of Agamotto!"
"Wait! You're amazing, bro!"
"Forget the Eye of Agamotto, I've seen Kaecilius' smoky eye makeup all over the internet!"
"Sure enough! Strange is the real deal, there's no way he loses!"
"What even is the Eye of Agamotto? That's insane!"
"Did anyone actually see how it works?"
In the High Council.
After seeing Strange manipulate the Eye of Agamotto to reverse time, the Councilors breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was already history, its impact on the present remained immense.
Sith said with a smile, "Ancient One must have known the power of Strange's time reversal, so she could leave with peace of mind."
Hyeon nodded. "However, using the Eye of Agamotto, as Wong said before, it will open new branches of time, which is extremely dangerous."
Kennedy said, "Strange never confines himself to a fixed approach. In the eyes of others, there is no solution, yet he can always find one. Our Federation lacks people like him."
Gladwin stared at the Eye of Agamotto in Strange's hands, "The key is the power of this artifact; it can affect time itself and be controlled. I originally thought it could only alter localized time, but I didn't expect it could reverse time on such a large scale. Unfortunately, the Federation has found no trace of the Eye of Agamotto."
This was everyone's regret. History was too ancient. Too many things no longer existed.
Strange controlled the magic circle and freed Sorcerer Mordo from the distortion of time, allowing him to act freely. Mordo looked at everything around him in shock.
"The spell is working," Strange said. The two quickly ran toward the Sanctum.
"We've got a second chance!" Strange shouted.
However, before they could reach it, Kaecilius used dark energy to forcibly break free from the time reversal. His followers did the same, regaining their mobility.
Strange stopped and turned, barely dodging a steel frame, only to be kicked in the chest by a Sorcerer. The environment continued reverting, making the battle chaotic.
Strange crashed into a car and was struck by Kaecilius. Meanwhile, Mordo fought the other Sorcerers. One of them, confused by the reversed time, became trapped inside a fish tank. Mordo swung his staff, hooking a Sorcerer's ankle and violently slamming him into a reforming steel structure. With a loud crash, the structure reset, trapping the Sorcerer inside.
Below, dust filled the air. Strange couldn't see clearly. Kaecilius struck from the side, but the cloak blocked the blow. Then, a powerful kick sent Strange flying. Both burst out of the dust cloud, ready to continue.
Mordo swung his staff again, dragging Kaecilius away and hurling him toward a rapidly reforming wall. Reinforced concrete slammed into him, embedding him within it. Their coordination was flawless.
The collapsing Sanctum was rapidly restoring itself. At that moment, they saw Wong lying on the ground, his chest pierced. As time reversed, Wong recovered. Strange pulled him out of the temporal flow.
"Breaking the law of nature. I know." Strange said.
Wong replied: "Well, don't stop now.
Strange said, "When the Sanctum is restored, they'll attack it again. We have to defend it. Come on!"
The three rushed forward. But at that moment, Kaecilius broke free again. Dark energy surged in both his hands as he slammed them into the ground. A terrifying wave of dark power rippled outward like a tidal force, and all three were blasted away.
Strange's head struck the ground. The green magic circle in his right hand shattered, causing the rapidly restoring Sanctum to be stopped.
