Chapter 331: The Ancient One Has Fallen
The battle in mirror space is really full of fantasy legends.
Folded earth, twisted tall buildings, upside-down roads, Casillas, with the endless dark magic of Dormammu, does have the ability to wrestle with the ancient one.
What's more, it's Strange, a half-ass, and Mordo, who is good at frontal combat but not good at many strange arcane spells.
Finally, in the eyes of the two, the entire city's buildings floated in the air, controlled by Casillas' powerful dark magic.
Space and matter are still changing, as if Strange and Mordo, who are enemies of the whole world, have been completely suppressed.
However, just as Casillas seized Strange's Ring and was about to finish him off once and for all, another powerful magic saved him—
The Supreme Mage, the Ancient One, finally returned from Kama Taj and confronted Casillas and his followers alone.
A new battle platform has been created, and the ancient one wears a yellow robe, standing proudly on the platform.
"Ancient One!"
The smoky Casillas and his followers gathered together, looking at the former mentor with mixed eyes:
"You've been drawing strength from the dark dimension to sustain your life, haven't you?
The so-called druid legend is a trick you put out......
Power doesn't cheat, shoot! ”
A red rune representing the dark dimension appeared on his forehead, and he roared:
"If you don't do your best, you'll be killed by me, Mentor!"
“…… As you wish. ”
Gu Yi sighed secretly, and unfolded two fan-shaped magic shields in his hands.
And on her forehead, a mysterious emerald green symbol appeared.
It was no longer the dark dimensional mark of Dormammu, but the "Trinity Knot" of the Celtic ancestors.
In ancient Celtic culture, the Trinity knot reflected the Celtic belief in eternal life, symbolizing the unity of perception, spirit, and soul, as well as man's complex relationship with nature and the gods.
Therefore, this symbol is used by Oakes as a symbol of the connection between the power of Avalon and the outside world-
Avalon's endless power of nature was infused into the Ancient One through this symbol, giving her a bit of the legendary elven transcendent demeanor!
Although Avalon's power is far inferior to that of the Dark Dimension, the Ancient One had only drawn a trace of dark magic from the Dark Dimension to prolong his life.
And now, Avalon's power is blessing her unreservedly because of the agreement between the Ancient One and Oakes—
Far more than she needed to sustain her lifespan when she was working with all her might.
"The rumors are true......"
Mordo and Strange landed on the platform, and their eyes were staring at the dark rune on Casillas's forehead, and then at the Trinity knot on the forehead of the ancient one, or "natural rune", and the color of surprise was overflowing:
"This is truly a druid's force of nature!"
What the power of Oakes is, they naturally know very well.
Although the power of nature that the Ancient One is now showing is far less powerful than Casillas's dark power, the strength of the Supreme Mage has always been because of herself!
"Casillas, Dormammu is deceiving you, you don't know his true colors.
His so-called eternal life is not heaven, but endless torment! ”
"It's too late to say that!"
Casillas was silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly—
Having reached this point, he won't let go no matter what!
Casillas is even more talented than his elder brother Mordo, and once he recognizes something, he will never look back.
Powerful, talented, and extremely stubborn madmen are even more terrifying!
Thus, the battle between the Dark Believers and the Supreme Mage began.
The Supreme Mage Ancient One has been on Earth for more than 600 years, and has made a name for himself in many dimensions.
With her, even Odin had to get her permission to come to Earth for a vacation, and Midgard did not recognize himself as a vassal of Asgard.
Lords of all dimensions who have coveted this special world of Earth for a long time, such as Dormammu, Mephisto, Nightmares, and even other Helllords......
They have great power, but they can only engage in some incarnations and do some small actions in petty theft, but they dare not come in real bodies to make trouble.
They imagined countless times when the Supreme Mage would die, how he would die, and which of them would die at the hands of one of them.
But they could never have imagined that the Supreme Mage would choose to be stabbed by a small dark believer in a paddling posture in the trial battle of his heirs, and fell from a high altitude to his death.
She gave up all magic protection, and even took the initiative to cut off the power transmission of the natural rune to prevent the force of nature from repairing her fatal wounds, and was sent to the hospital by Strange.
"Mordo! Go find President Oakes, quick! ”
Strange woke Mordo, who was in an uncanny grief, and the latter immediately reacted, nodding his head sharply, and opening the portal directly to the Guardian of Nature.
And Strange couldn't operate on the Ancient One himself, so he had to hand it over to someone else, and he chose to use the soul projection method to help the Ancient One maintain his soul.
But the soul of the Ancient One clearly wants to leave this last time to her best heir.
She froze the time in the soul state, and told Strange the ins and outs of this moment and her own prediction of this moment.
"I see a myriad of futures that take me to one moment and not see the next."
"So you think you're going to die now?"
"I don't see your future either...... But I see endless possibilities. ”
The Ancient One recalled the time when he and Oakes talked about this moment, so the final fate still hasn't changed?
"You have the ability to do great good, you are always outstanding, but not because you want to succeed, but because you are afraid of failure.
Because of this, you are bound by pride and fear, and you are unable to achieve higher things—
You can't learn the simplest and most important lesson. ”
"What is it?"
Ancient One looked at the new Supreme Mage with a smile:
"You, it doesn't matter."
Yes, the ancient one himself had this great enlightenment.
That's why she can decisively give up her life now to fulfill Strange.
Only then could she decisively give up her perseverance and absorb the magic of darkness to prolong her life, just waiting for this moment to come.
"Oakes recommends that you come to me, and the dimensional magic will be infused into your body, so that you can rely on your will to restore your hands-
Of course, his natural magic can do it. ”
She stared at the stagnant scene in front of her, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face:
"Don't blame him, I made him do it."
"So...... Can President Oakes heal my hands? ”
Strange smiled bitterly:
"You asked him to reject me, and then let me come here, just to train me to become a mage, and then protect the world in your place?"
"You can choose not to, you can choose to go back to your old life, but the world will be more dangerous because of it."
“……”
Strange was silent.
Indeed, if you don't stop Dormammu and the dark dimension comes, then even if you return to your normal life, won't you still be engulfed in darkness in the end?
And the whole planet will be compensated!
"Can President Oakes stop Dormammu? He's also a hero of the magic department! ”
"If he could, I wouldn't be looking for you."
Ancient One smiled:
"Everybody has his own responsibilities, and his responsibilities are not here."
"But I'm not ready to ......"
"No one is ready all the time...... The timing is not up to us, and Oakes is always ready to face more difficult challenges, but even he can't say he's ready. ”
Ancient One's words made Strange stunned, President Oakes......
"It is death that gives meaning to life, knowing that life is limited and life is short.
It stands to reason that after so long, I should have been ready, but look at me, extend this moment indefinitely, just to see this beautiful scenery......"
In the sky outside, the lightning that had been frozen could not maintain stagnation as the ancient one's magic power weakened rapidly.
Strange looked at it suddenly, and when he turned around, the ancient one's soul body had disappeared.
"Drip-"
On the operating table, Gu Yi's emerald green pupils lost their color, and the instrument was no longer able to detect her signs of life.
But what everyone couldn't see was that on her forehead, an emerald green natural rune flickered slightly, and then disappeared silently.
In the deck forest of the Guardian of Nature, as soon as Mordo stepped out of the portal, he saw Oaks standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the sky.
"President Oakes! Please ......"
"Master Mordo, I know what you're here for."
There was no one on deck, and in this quiet forest, there were only Oaks and Mordo.
He turned around slowly, and on his forehead was a natural rune that was the same as the ancient one:
"I sensed that the Supreme Mage's natural runes were gone, and she had no signs of life."
"What ......"
Mordo was stunned.
"Why...... Why is this happening?! ”
Mordo clenched his fists tightly, was it just a little bit of time?
As a resolute defender of the laws of nature, although Mo Du had some complicated feelings about Gu Yi's violation of the laws of nature to prolong his life, he was completely indifferent to the endless threats from other dimensions.
What's more, under the "reveal" of Oaks, this power is the inheritance of the ancient one's comrades-in-arms, which perfectly fits the heroic complex of "dying for war" and "dying for hope" of Mordo.
But at this time, when Dormammu was about to invade, the Supreme Mage was lost, and the world was in danger!
"You don't have time, Mordo."
Oakes' voice rang out, and he looked to the southwest with a serious face—
Directions to the Hong Kong Temple.
"The power of the dark dimension has descended, and the Hong Kong Temple has fallen...... Strange has received the Supreme Mage's final teachings and is rushing there, what is your choice? ”
"I ......"
Mordo's face was pale, and he touched the magic knife behind him and opened the portal.
"Naturally, he died for the battle!"
He stepped through the portal, and behind him came Oakes' voice:
"Good luck...... The Supreme Mage has foreseen this moment, and you will win! ”
