The Power of an Unforgettable Song
The Sanctum can be destroyed, but these people cannot die. This was Ancient One's instruction to Xia Yu.
It's not that the Ancient One herself didn't want to intervene; currently, most of her power is being used to suppress the Dark Magic within her.
Given Kaecilius's current strength, it's hard to say whether she could defeat him even if she used all her power. Even if she killed Kaecilius, she wouldn't be able to suppress the power within her, thus becoming another Kaecilius.
Even if she doesn't take action now, the Ancient One won't be able to suppress the Dark Magic for much longer. Since she's going to die anyway, she hopes her death will be of some use, such as stimulating Doctor Strange's fighting spirit and potential.
Therefore, they had no choice but to entrust Xia Yu with the task. However, for the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, having an outsider solve their own problems was already quite a motivating experience.
Xia Yu's voice suddenly appeared.
Kaecilius adopted a defensive stance.
"Who? Who's speaking?"
Xia Yu's voice only reached Kaecilius's ears.
So the others present had no idea what was going on.
The few followers that Kaecilius brought with them all looked around.
Doctor Strange and the other two quickly tried to regain some of their strength.
"You guess?"
Xia Yu suddenly had the idea to play a trick on him.
The black aura surrounding Kaecilius deepened, and he muttered incantations, using a Dark Magic to probe the surrounding creatures.
However, within a radius of several hundred meters, there were only these few people inside the Sanctum.
But the sound came right next to his ear.
It's like being so close, like having your arm around someone's shoulder and whispering to each other.
"Who is it? Come out!"
Kaecilius wasn't particularly flustered; he just felt like someone was playing a trick on him.
Looking around again, whether by sight or energy detection, there was no one there.
Kaecilius looked at his few followers.
"Did you hear that? Someone's talking."
The followers exchanged glances and all said they hadn't heard anything.
Kaecilius was now somewhat taken aback; this was beyond his comprehension.
"You betrayed my love; you're burdened with a debt of conscience..."
Xia Yu, feeling playful, started singing a catchy song from his past life.
The mesmerizing melody flooded Kaecilius's already chaotic mind.
Just now, Xia Yu was using Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission to speak, but this time he directly used his mental power to transmit the song into Kaecilius's mind.
The song, which directly affected his soul, was like amplifying his five senses hundreds of times; Kaecilius was stunned.
For someone like Kaecilius, everyday things like clothing, food, and drink are not important at all, let alone things like listening to music or watching movies.
The catchy melody paired with Xia Yu's deliberately slouching voice made Kaecilius feel like his head was about to explode.
"Ah!~!~!~!~!~!"
Without warning, Kaecilius began to scream wildly.
"Didn't you all hear that? Someone's singing in my head. It sounds awful, but why do I feel like I can sing it myself?"
Kaecilius seemed to be in great pain, clutching his head tightly with both hands.
This surprised not only Kaecilius's followers, but also Doctor Strange and his two companions.
Everything was fine, so what happened?
Is someone singing in his head? What kind of illness is this?
Wang looked at Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange shrugged, indicating he didn't know.
"Are you sure you didn't harbor some kind of spirit or evil spirit in the Sanctum?"
Doctor Strange countered with a question.
"Of course not, I don't know any Dark Magic!"
Wang was completely bewildered.
The Sanctum had already been destroyed, so it didn't really matter whether these people were killed or not. Therefore, Kaecilius's followers ignored Doctor Strange and the other two and surrounded Kaecilius, wanting to see what was wrong with him.
Because at this moment, Kaecilius was already rolling on the ground clutching his head, and Xia Yu's singing had changed from "Love Transaction" to "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style".
"Ah!~!~!"
It would occasionally let out a series of screams, which sounded incredibly pitiful.
Xia Yu felt this method was effective, so he decided to stop intervening. After all, the Ancient One's only requirement was to save Doctor Strange and the other two.
He focused intently on singing a medley of various divine songs for Kaecilius.
This unexpected turn of events left Doctor Strange and the others speechless.
The three men stared intently as Kaecilius rolled around on the ground in agony, almost forgetting their hostile relationship.
Kaecilius's men stood around Kaecilius for a long time, still not knowing what had happened.
All he knew was that Kaecilius kept saying someone was singing in his head, which confused him completely.
The followers had no choice; the mission was already accomplished.
Ignoring Doctor Strange and the others, the group helped up Kaecilius, who was still clutching his head, and hurriedly found a place to rest.
Strangely, as soon as the group left the floating continent, the voice in Kaecilius's mind disappeared.
But the melodies of those catchy songs kept swirling in Kaecilius's mind, swirling...
This made it impossible for Kaecilius to concentrate for several days afterward; Xia Yu hadn't truly expected such power.
Kaecilius is gone, and Doctor Strange and the other two have narrowly escaped death, but unfortunately, the Sanctum has already been destroyed.
Whether it's restoring a few Sanctum or concentrating manpower to protect the Hong Kong Sanctum, the focus now is on these two options.
They all need to find the Ancient One to intervene, otherwise Kamar-Taj will be unable to withstand Kaecilius's attacks.
However, the Ancient One's whereabouts remain unknown, so the group has no choice but to return to Kamar-Taj first.
As soon as Wang and Doctor Strange left, a portal opened, and Xia Yu and the Ancient One, whose expression was indescribable, appeared inside the Sky Temple.
"I truly didn't expect Kaecilius's power to be so immense. Did you write the song you just sang?"
The Ancient One had watched Xia Yu sing the entire time, and he actually managed to force Kaecilius to retreat, which the Ancient One found incredibly unbelievable.
Although the melody of this song is really catchy and addictive, Ancient One still feels that the melody keeps swirling in her mind.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me! How could I have written such a great song?"
Xia Yu repeatedly said no, he himself hadn't expected that the divine song would have such incredible power when it played directly in someone's mind.
Without delving into the matter, Ancient One glanced around the Sanctum with a complicated expression and spoke to Xia Yu.
"Next up is the Hong Kong Sanctum. I'll trouble you to protect their lives, but regarding Dormammu, if things get really bad, then you'll have to step in."
Ancient One had prepared for her passing and began to explain some things to Xia Yu, little by little.
