Originally, Lu Xiao planned to stay in Asgard for the time being, and wait until the conditions were officially negotiated with the Guardians of the Galaxy before leaving.

But Yongzhen, who has just returned to Kama Taj, has brought bad news to Lu Xiao.

"The Hong Kong Temple has discovered Mordo's traces, and if he continues to act at will, it could threaten our plans."

"Mordo?"

Lu Xiao, who was drinking and chatting with Thor, turned serious: "What is his purpose?" Did you kill the Mystic? ”

"Not yet."

Yongzhen's expression in the projection is quite solemn: "But Mordo's appearance has caused some turmoil within Kama Taj, and those occult magicians who have been taught by Mordo are starting to stir, and I am afraid that they will abandon Kama Taj and join Mordo." ”

As early as after the end of the Battle of Dormammu, Lu Xiao secretly arranged some trustworthy people to monitor some of the mystics who agreed with Mordo's concept.

During the time that Mo Du disappeared, these secret magicians had been very peaceful, but Lu Xiao had never relaxed his vigilance against them.

If Lu Xiao is not mistaken, the paranoid Mordo seems to become one of Doctor Strange's biggest enemies in the original plot, a villain who is both good and evil.

He left Kama Taj because he couldn't agree with Lu Xiao's abuse of the rules of nature, and there was nothing small for a long time after that, but he didn't expect to jump out again at the juncture when he was about to start a war with Thanos.

Lu Xiao's mind turned and he thought of a bad possibility: "Yongzhen, do you think Mordu's sudden attack will have something to do with Sanos?" ”

Yongzhen frowned and thought for a moment: "For the time being, there is no evidence that Mordo is connected to Sanos, according to the information provided by the mystics of the Hong Kong Temple, the new power he uses is more like the demonic power recorded by Kama Taj." ”

"Demonic ...... Is it? ”

There are indeed quite a few demons on Earth, the most well-known of which are Zatanos, Nightmares, and Mephisto.

Before Lu Xiao re-entered the Marvel World, there were no real demons in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the collection of Kama Taj did record the names and characteristics of many demons.

Zatanos is the origin of the Ghost Rider, an ancient and powerful elemental demon lord who is said to have been wiped out by the primordial vengeful spirits in the same way as early as ancient times.

However, it is difficult for a creature like a demon to die completely, and part of Zatanos's power combined with the primordial spirit of vengeance, eventually becoming the source of the power of the Ghost Rider.

Nightmare is one of Dormammu's dimensional demons, but his power is not as desperate as Dormammu's.

From the name, it can be roughly inferred that Nightmare is best at spiritual spells, and this happens to be the field that Lu Xiao is best at.

The last Mephisto was more troublesome.

Due to the rapid weakening of demonic power after leaving the Hell Plane, the cunning Mephisto rarely joined the battle in person.

He usually tricks superheroes and supervillains into making contracts with him through rhetoric and delicious bait in order to acquire the most precious things in their lives until they eventually devour their souls.

During the execution of the contract, Mephisto did not mind temporarily lending his power to the contractor, and Lu Xiao speculated that Mordo's demonic power might be related to Mephisto.

The devil hates order and worships chaos.

Perhaps Mephisto sensed something from the recent rain and rain, he began to surface, having been hiding in the shadows and acting cautiously.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiao said to Yongzhen: "Don't startle the snake for the time being, keep a close eye on those secret magicians who are about to move, and I will rush back immediately." ”

Ending the call, Lu Xiao put down his wine glass and said to Thor: "You also heard, the earth is in trouble again." ”

"You and Loki are in charge of the deal with the Guardians of the Galaxy, anyway, you already know the rough plan, let me know if you have any questions."

Thor stood up with Lu Xiao, and the two held each other's arms to say goodbye.

"Have a nice trip, my friend."

……

Opening the portal to return to Earth, Lu Xiao directly set the exit of the passage outside the gate of the Hong Kong Temple.

Pushing the door into the temple, Lu Xiao saw Yongzhen at a glance who was discussing issues with the temple guardians in the hall.

"Yongzhen, let's talk about Mordo's form of power in detail."

Yongjin pointed to a black woman with war paints on her face, "Let Tamara come into contact with Mordo head-on." ”

Tamara first saluted Lu Xiao respectfully: "Supreme Master." ”

"Don't be polite, let's get down to business."

"Yes."

Tamara made intricate casting gestures with both hands, and finally put her fingers together and pointed at her temples on each side.

The holographic projection generated by the spell extraction memory appeared in front of Lu Xiao and the others.

In the projection, Tamara was shopping for daily necessities at a market in Hong Kong when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Tamara, long time no see."

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes, although the person who greeted Tamara was wearing a black wide-brimmed hood on his head, Lu Xiao still recognized it at a glance, he was Mordu.

Tamara, who was full of excitement, put down the vegetables in her hand and arranged a small mirror space as fast as she could, and then turned around vigilantly.

"Mordo, what do you want to do?"

"Heh~"

took off his hood, revealing the familiar black face, but Lu Xiao found some discordant and strange scenes.

Mo Du's eyes could faintly see a blood-red light flashing, and without meeting face-to-face, Lu Xiao couldn't confirm his strength fluctuations, but this situation was obviously abnormal.

Tamara had also identified with Mordo's ideas in her early years, but like Lu Xiao, she thought that Mordo's maintenance of the laws of nature was overkill, and cut off all contact with Madar after he left Kama Taj.

Mordo smiled at the wary Tamara and said, "After years of wandering, I finally understood a truth. ”

"As long as the earth's mystics and other spellcasters are not destroyed, the laws of nature will continue to be destroyed."

"Tamara, it's time to act."

Mordo stretched out his hand to Tamar expectantly: "Join me, we must maintain the balance of nature, not destroy it." ”

"I refuse!"

"Bell~"

Tamara condensed her circle in both wrists, first habitually increasing her strength, agility, and stamina, and then began to cast spells to build defenses.

This is the usual routine of the Kama Taj mystics under the influence of the ancient one, enchanting to get on a set of direct melee recklessness.

The whole battle lasted only a short time.

Mordo seems to have figured it out after leaving Kama Taj that he is not as enchanted as Tamara in close quarters.

As Mordo hooked his fingers, blood-colored flames suddenly rose from the ground, and Tamara's defensive barrier quickly began to break under the flames.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived at this time.

Sensing the mirror space spell near the temple, the mystics guarding the temple opened the portal into the space built by Tamara, and each of them forced Mordo back and saved Tamara.

This is the end of the image, and it is at this point that Tamara faints.

"That's how it happened."

Tamara sighed, "According to the companion who rescued me at the time, Mordo did not fight the plural mystics head-on, he chose to retreat, and we have not found any more traces of Mordo since then. ”

"Thank you, Tamara, let's go rest first"

After Tamara left, Lu Xiao held her chin in her hand and fell into a strange flames of blood red...... The more you look at it, the more it looks like Mephisto's trick. ’

'Mordo, you're not going to fall into seeking demonic power, are you? ’
