"Wait...what the hell? So you want to gain eternal life, and it's not enough for you to live forever alone, but you also want to take the whole world with you to live forever? Then you are really selfless!"

Facing Strange's sudden compliment, Casillas smiled modestly and said, "No, no, no... I just want to save the world."

"Didn't you hear that I was making fun of you? You have to talk about something like this that is obviously a lie to you. I'm really convinced..."

Saying this, Strange stretched out his hand and pulled out a magic whip, preparing to secretly give Casillas a blow.

Facing Strange, who was full of disdain, Casillas sighed helplessly, and whispered melancholy, "You can't understand me, can you? Haven't you ever thought about why the ancient master can live like this?"

How long? Because like me, she also used that magic to absorb the power of the dark dimension, but unlike her, I am willing to share this power, and I am willing to take this world with me forever, not like her...

Selfishly pocketing eternal life!”

Looking at Strange, who was silent and his eyes were full of solemnity, Casillas smiled slightly, looked at Strange with excitement and continued, "Great, you are different from those pedantic people.

, you know what I’m saying, you know what I’m doing, human beings long for eternity and long for transcending time, because time is enslaving us! Time is an insult to us!”

When talking about the excitement, Casillas's eyes became extremely sincere, as if everything he thought and did was for the world. He took a deep breath and continued, "We don't seek to rule the world.

I just want to save it... and hand this world over to Dormammu, because Dormammu is the end of evolution! It is the desire of all life."

Looking at Strange, whose eyes were flickering, as if he was beginning to waver, Casillas suddenly tilted his head and looked at Strange's broken arms and legs, as well as his left hand, which was still trembling slightly.

, and then said with a smile, "Why did you join Kama Taj? Let me guess, it is for healing... Same as you, so am I, we are all the same, we come here for the hope of healing, but Gu

A mage only taught us some trivial skills, and she took the real magic as her own."

Strange took a deep breath, stared at Casillas and said seriously, "I have seen that kind of magic. Karma Taj never hides magic, but..."

"But she didn't let anyone else learn it except herself. She warned us that it was dangerous magic, but she herself... obtained eternal life through it!"

Having said this, Casillas stretched out his hand towards Strange and said slowly, "Come on, join us, you are the one who can understand us, don't stay with that liar anymore, embrace the darkness."

, embrace Dormammu, in this case, you will be healed like me!"

"No... look at yourself, you claimed to be healed, but Dormammu turned you into a cold-blooded killer!"

Hearing this, Casillas, who was about to refute something, suddenly raised his head, looked at the portal that was opened not far away from which side, then smiled at Strange and said, "That's enough for today."

More, if you are really smart enough, you should be able to understand what I mean, go and verify it yourself, if you are really a doctor!"

After finishing speaking, Casillas made a move with his wrist, and the floor under his feet began to move instantly. Along with the cultists who were knocked to the ground by Strange, Casillas disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In front of Lan Qi...

The portal behind them was opened, and Master Modu and Master Gu Yi rushed over. When they saw Strange standing on the ground like a golden chicken without a leg, and even missing a right hand, their eyes were filled with tears.

anxious…

How can this be cured? You said that trembling hands can be cured, but this is a sudden amputation...how can people treat it? You can't just let a person with missing arms and legs serve as the supreme mage!

Before Master Ancient One could say anything, Modu suddenly raised his eyebrows and said strangely to Strange, "Can you put away your magic first? You look like you are missing arms and legs...it looks really real."

It’s pretty scary!”

Strange glanced at Modu uneasily and nodded slightly. A burst of magical fluorescence flashed, and the disappeared right hand and left leg reappeared in the same place where they disappeared...

It turns out that the limb was not amputated, but was just hidden... Seeing this scene, Master Ancient One couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Strange with satisfaction and nodded lightly...

In any case, Strange's first battle was very successful! Not only did he defend the New York Temple, but he also caused casualties to Casillas! It can be said that it far exceeded his expectations, which was better than what he had seen a long time ago.

The future is much more reliable! Sure enough... calling Mr. Ashes over is a very good choice!

Suddenly, Strange, who had been silent all this time, turned his head and said calmly to Modo, "Guardian of the temple, who is Master Daniel? Master Modo, you'd better go and see him. He was stuck just now."

Silas gives…”

Hearing this, Modu frowned, then turned his head sharply and rushed towards the main entrance of the New York Temple.

After Mordo left, Strange raised his head again, looked at Ashes who was silent throughout the whole process and asked, "Is what he said true?"

Ashes couldn't help but be startled, lowered his head and looked at Strange and asked curiously, "About that part?"

Strange was silent for a moment, glanced at the Ancient Master with a normal expression, then raised his head and continued to ask, "The dark dimension can bring eternity to this world and... the Ancient Master is using the power of the dark dimension."

"Whether the dark dimension can bring eternity to this world... I really don't know. After all, in my knowledge, there is no absolute eternity, even if it is manipulated with time, but... who knows~ maybe someone can do it

Here we are! As for whether Master Ancient One is using the power of the dark dimension, why are you asking me? Shouldn’t you be asking Master Ancient One?”

After hearing this, Strange lowered his head and looked at Master Gu Yi, whose expression was still calm. After pondering for a moment, he whispered, "She is the person involved after all. Her answer to this question should not be credible, but forget it."

, let’s ask, Ancient Master, are you using the power of the dark dimension to extend your life, as Casillas said?”

The ancient mage pursed his lips slightly, looked at Strange and smiled slightly and asked, "Are you judging me?"

Strange smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "How can I judge the most powerful mage in the world? I just want to make sure that I... am not on the wrong team."

"So... do you think what Casillas said about eternity is correct? Do you want to join him?" After saying this, the ancient mage raised his head and looked at Ashes, who seemed silent for some reason. Apparently he felt that

Ashes' teachings to Strange led Strange to become what he is now...

But unfortunately, Ashes ignored the angry eyes of the Ancient One Mage, and Strange also denied the Ancient One Mage's speculation: "Join him? Join a cult murderer? Just because of that illusory eternal life? Of course.

No! I can be sure that what he said is unrealistic, but now... I still have to make sure, Master Gu Yi... are you worthy of my trust? "

"Master Daniel is dead, we are a step too late, but in any case, Strange, you have done a good job, you have protected the New York Temple, we..."

Not far away, Modu came back after investigating the situation of the unlucky Master Daniel. He whispered as he walked, but when he saw Master Gu Yi and Strange who were at war with each other for some reason, he couldn't help but speak.

stopped...

After sizing up Ancient One and Strange, Modo frowned in displeasure and said seriously to Strange, "You guys... are you trying to contradict the Supreme Mage?"

Looking at Master Modu who started to reprimand Strange without asking any questions, Gu Yi sighed softly, looked at Strange and said lightly, "Whether I am worthy of your trust or not, you have nothing to ask me about this question."

You need to use your own eyes to discover the meaning, but I can assure you that I have never deceived anyone!"

Hearing this, Strange nodded slightly, and above the heads of everyone, Ashes, who had been silent all this time, suddenly turned his head and said slowly to Strange, "Power is power, even if it comes from darkness.

The power of power is just power~ And the one who uses power in the end is always a human being. Just like a pistol, if it is held in the hands of a gangster, it is a murder weapon; if it is held in the hands of a soldier, it is a weapon to protect the home and country.

weapons, but their essence is the same! What matters is not the source of the power, but the person who uses it."

Having said this, Ashes slowly stretched out his hand, and a black flame burst out from Ashes' palm, burning quietly...

Ancient One, Modu, Strange and the three looked at the flames in Ashes' palm with surprised expressions. Strange was just a little curious, but the two senior mages, Ancient One and Modu, could feel the black flames in Ashes' hands.

They felt full of malice and oppression, as if as long as Ashes used this power, they would be destroyed physically and mentally in an instant!

"You see, this is the darkest power, but my original intention of obtaining this power is to fight against darkness... Although I don't want to say such stupid things that only darkness can defeat darkness, but... for me, this is the fact."

After saying this, Ashes clenched his palms, and the black flames turned into dots of fire and dissipated from Ashes's palms~

Master Gu Yi took a deep breath and looked at Ashes with a worried look on his face, "Mr. Ashes, you..."

"This is my business and has nothing to do with you. I'm just giving an example. I just want to tell you, don't be blinded by the darkness~ and don't be scared by the darkness."

After finishing speaking, Hui Jin glanced at the solemn expression of Gu Yi, then jumped down from the attic, stretched out his hand and patted Strange on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Do what you think.

Let’s do the thing!”

Waving his hand, Hui Ji turned around gracefully and walked slowly towards the gate of the New York Sanctuary...

Looking at Ashes turning around and walking away, Strange couldn't help but be stunned and asked in surprise, "Mr. Ashes, what are you going to do?"

Hui Jin didn't look back, but said lightly, "It's nothing, it's just some private matters that I want to settle. You talk about yours, and I won't get involved in the rest."

After saying that, Ashes pushed open the door of the New York Sanctuary and left here, leaving only Strange and Master Gu Yi who were in a deadlock, and Master Modo who didn't know what happened...

The scene was very awkward. After Gu Yi was silent for a moment, he sighed softly and murmured to himself, "Maybe he is right, but... I still have sins that need to be redeemed..."

Raising his head suddenly, Master Ancient One looked at Strange and said lightly, "Master Daniel is dead, but the New York Sanctuary needs someone to guard it. Casillas will not give up, so now... Master Strange,

Are you willing to take over this burden?"

Mordo looked at Ancient One, then turned to look at Strange, with a surprised expression on his face. What unfolding was going on? Wasn't there a tense discussion just now about whether the power of darkness is power or darkness? Why did it suddenly happen?

Is it related to personnel issues? "Master Gu Yi, are you sure Strange is ready?"

Strange was also extremely puzzled, "Yeah, what do you mean? Why do you suddenly ask me to do this, let someone... still have doubts about you, Kama Taj and Casillas?"

People who still have doubts come to do this kind of thing?”

Ancient One looked at Strange's face full of doubts and surprise, smiled slightly and said, "No...you have no doubts in your heart, you know what to do!"

After speaking, the Ancient Master nodded slightly to Strange, then stretched out his hand, opened a portal, and left the New York Sanctuary, leaving only the confused Mordo and deep in thought.

The Strange…

…

After walking out of the New York Sanctuary, Ashes raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. He sighed helplessly and said, "It's midnight over there and it's daytime here. Fortunately, I don't have to suffer from jet lag. Let me see where you are now."

place…"

After closing his eyes and searching for a while, Ashes used teleportation magic and disappeared into the busy streets of New York. However, because of the hidden magic of the New York Sanctuary, no one noticed that this person suddenly disappeared, or even noticed that he had appeared before...

In a hidden underground church, Casillas and his men were licking their wounds, ready to launch the next round of attack at any time. Everyone was silent, and no one was depressed because of this failure...

Casillas was not injured, but it was impossible for him to attack the remaining two sanctuaries alone. He destroyed the London Sanctuary in one fell swoop through a surprise attack. However, this also aroused their vigilance. They originally wanted to attack the remaining two sanctuaries in one go.

The three sanctuaries were destroyed in one fell swoop, but now it seems... we can only wait for the people under my command to repair it before making any plans.
