In the city of the dead in Egypt, a mysterious man with a hood wandered where Chen Ang and Strange captured the voodoo wizard, he pushed open a large hole in the door, walked in, and locked the terrified eyes of the locals behind him, the house was still so eerie, the bones of various animals left by the voodoo wizards.

Organs and strange things soaked in potions, dried and dried animal products, herbs and dark magic materials taken from dead people.

The mystery man slowly removed his hood, revealing a black face.

It was Baron Mordo, who had just destroyed the Voodoo stronghold, who came to Africa so that he could blend in with the locals without a hint of disobedience, but he still chose a conspicuous mage outfit to show his inner sense of mage honor. Mordo is a poor man who has followed the guidance of his teacher, the Ancient One, all his life, and followed the path of the Ancient One, but in the end he realizes that the Ancient One has long since betrayed the path he professes.

"Mordo!" Behind him, a voice suddenly sounded.

Baron Mordo jerked his head back, only to see Strange sitting in the dark watching him.

"You know I'm going to be here?" Mordo leaned back at the table and looked at Strange.

"I've joined an organization!" Strange said calmly: "They are very methodical, well-informed, Egypt is our base camp, you want to move here and avoid our eyes, it is impossible!" ”

"The Supreme Master would never join someone else's organization...... He will always be the leader! Mordo said.

Strange disagreed: "The Supreme Mage never sets these rules and regulations for himself, except for the responsibility of the Supreme Mage, we have no restraints, and we don't need any restraints!" That's why I'm the Supreme Master, and you're not. You care too much about the precepts you set for yourself! ”

"If you don't have the precepts, you will be reckless like the ancient one, and you will invite disaster!" Mordo said loudly: "So the ancient one is dead!" ”

"He's here to protect the world!" Strange shouted, he noticed the symbol that appeared in the center of Mordu's eyebrows, and said in surprise, "You say that...... But he also took refuge in Dormammu! I don't understand why you got involved in this, because of Dormammu's orders, you became his lackey! ”

"I just made a deal with it!" Mordo said, "I have understood the mission of the mage...... The ancient one is wrong! We are not guarding this small planet and the human beings on it, human beings have been self-destructing, no one can protect them, what we are really guarding is the unknown world, the balance between the mysterious and the known world. ”

"What we should revere is the great law of balance!"

"Dormammu also understands this, although the greed of the dark always makes it want to devour our world, and I will still stand up against it at this time, but when Dormammu guards the balance of the entire universe, including the dark plane, I should also help. Thanos ...... They're saving the universe! ”

"But Thanos' goal is to kill half of the life in this universe!" Strange said angrily.

Mordo doesn't care, life is too small, when the mages look at the whole universe, they will find too many great things, space, dimensions, time, planets, matter, energy, too many great things perfectly constitute the whole world, and what is maintained in it is balance. Balance creates and sustains everything, and once balance does not exist, all elements will clash and everything will be destroyed.

At that time, how can life exist alone?

This is what Mordo realized, that the mage should not focus on the small, constantly born and dying individual beings, but should focus on the balance that holds everything behind it.

And life is only a weight to maintain balance...... Although necessary, more and less are the result of the operation of the law of balance.

Mordo just replied: "I once wanted to follow the Ancient One to destroy the darkness, but after realizing that the Ancient One and Dormammu are only two sides of the balance between light and darkness, I realized that what should really be guarded is balance. The mage is not a nanny, not a servant of the planet, not a guardian of humanity...... What we should strive for is something greater. ”

Strange opened his palm, and a circle of rune wheels appeared in his palm, pulling away from the stance, Strange said, "As a Supreme Mage, I have the responsibility to clean up the traitors among the mages. ”

"I led you to Kama Taj back then......" Mordo stretched out his hands and pulled out the Life Court Scepter from his sleeve, Strange interrupted coldly, "It seems that you took a lot of good things from Kama Taj!" Mordo was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "I taught you the spell!" Leads you into the mystical temple of magic...... These things are not yours, he has my share too. I am also a disciple of the Ancient One. ”

"And yet you betrayed him!"

"It was he who betrayed me first!" Mordo said angrily: "I respect him so much, yet he hides and deceives me...... He concealed the true path and power of the mage! ”

"I once led you into the mage's hall!" Mordo said to Strange, "Now, I'm going to teach you the right way to be a mage!" ”

"Don't be ashamed!" Strange drew the whip of spells that were braving activation, and with one whip, the whole world was flipped upside down, and the city of the dead was split into countless pieces, reorganized like Lego bricks, and the nearby columns formed countless geometric patterns, and the space lost its meaning from up and down, left and right.

Mordo and Strange jump in complex three-dimensional geometry, fighting each other from time to time.

While using spells to construct the terrain so that Mordo could only move on the orbit he had planned, Strange exerted the power of the Eye of Agamodo, constantly shuttling through time, and the surrounding space and time formed a reconstructed, incomparably complex labyrinth.

The labyrinth formed in space, combined with the fragmentation of time, made Mordo trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.

However, Strange was still careless, and when he separated the distance between the two of them again, Mordo jumped up, and with the Vatore Jumping Boots under his feet, he jumped into the air, and there was a vibration like golden ripples under his feet, as if he had stepped on the real thing, and with the help of his power to change direction, he crossed the seemingly insurmountable moat, and flexibly changed the angle around Strange, and slapped a stick in Strange's face.

But when the Staff of the Court of Life struck Strange, his figure turned into a shattered shadow like the surface of the water.

At this time, Strange's real figure appeared behind Mordo, and the long whip in his hand was wrapped around Mordo's neck, and he scolded: "Don't move! ”

Mordo's open hands were placed on both sides of his shoulders and he smiled: "Very good, there is progress!" ”

"I didn't learn everything from you!" Strange said: "After the separation, I have improved a lot, and I am no longer the clumsy apprentice!" ”

"But it's not enough!" A face suddenly appeared on the back of Mordo's head, and said to Strange, Strange suddenly stretched out a few pale hands with very dirty nails and deformed joints from the back of his head, piercing out of the hair on the back of his head and grabbing his face, Strange tightened his right hand, and the spell energy whip in his hand cut off Mordo's neck.

But Baron Mordo's hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed his head, his head was held in his hand, and said, "But out of the ancient one, I have also learned a lot!" ”

"Dark magic!" Strange's face was almost covered by those hands, and his eyes looked at Mordo through his fingers, and he said sadly, "You not only took refuge in Dormammu, but also made a deal with Mephitos!" ”

"Yes, Dormammu introduced, I made a pact with him to exchange a part of my soul for everyone, in exchange for its power, to reclaim the dark magic of the Middle Ages."

"And ......" Mordo put his head back on it, and stretched out a hand, covered with bone spurs and black scales, like the claws of a lizard, burning with pale flames: "Satan asked me to say hello to the Human Revolution Union on his behalf!" He said he never wanted to be questioned in hell again...... This is a great insult to the Lord of Hell! ”

"You also made a contract with Satanish in exchange for hell magic!" Strange couldn't see Mordo anymore, the hand that grabbed him behind his head was already crawling all over his face, and the demonic hand of Baron Mordo had passed through Strange's chest.

But at this time, a transparent and colorless blade formed by spatial distortion also pierced Mordo's chest.

The other Strange stood behind Mordo, and the symbol of Dormammu's Dark Space appeared on his eyebrows.

"You're just as ...... as the ancient one," Mordo said, "it's all so hypocritical......"

"It's the power of the Eye of Agamodo, it's your overflowing time, right?" Mordo's body split in half from the wound, and the two halves turned to look at Strange, then stepped forward and fused together, another complete Mordo.

"Why haven't I been hurt by time?" Mordo said, "You should have deprived me of all the time when you stabbed me." You must be puzzled and puzzled, because I have not read the Book of Vishandi and have not obtained the complete Book of Cagliostro. ”

"But before I left, when I sneaked into the ancient one's bookshelf, I accidentally found a broken magic book, "The Seven Chapters of the Secret Book of Xuanjun", and found a secret ...... from the notes of the ancient one above."

Strange's face changed suddenly, and he said, "You saw the note that the ancient one used a spell to hide?" ”

"The Origin of Kama Taj...... We are all servants of that being. Apocalypse ...... Or the Yuan Shi Tian Demon, that is, 'Xuan'...... 'Xuan' and 'Jun', the Yuan Shi Tian Mo and Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan in the west, and passed down Yin Xi's Louguan Dao and Yang Zhu School, and later after the decline of the Yang Zhu School, one of them began to focus on the magic aspect, and they inherited the only note of the Dao, Yin Xi's "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra", there is no recorded secret knowledge. ”

"They are our ancestors."

"This knowledge has been misrepresented as being recorded by one of the mages who read them, Sithorne."

"That secret knowledge, no name. It contains the knowledge of the gates to the worlds of different dimensions and the construction of the gates of darkness and the well of the sun. ”

"There is knowledge that has been sealed away because it is too powerful, and the dark part of it, the Supreme Mage calls it—the Dark Grimoire. The part of the light is known as the Book of the Emperor of Weishan. ”

"But the Dark Dome is long gone, and it's long since it was stolen." Strange Road.

"So when I knew about this clue, I went and tried to find it." Morton laughed and said, "Although there are some troubles in the process...... But I found it anyway. ”
