Doctor Strange's Surprise Attack
The Watchers are a group that exists independently of everything in the universe. No one knows their origins, and they do not exist in the history or legends of any empire or race in the universe.
They simply observe the development of every civilization and every race silently in the universe, neither interfering nor appearing before any living being.
No one knows their origins, nor what civilization or advanced beings stand behind them.
In his previous life, Xia Yu was just a fan of the Avengers movies and didn't read many comics. His understanding of the Watchers was limited to their occasional appearance in videos or articles on social media. Therefore, Xia Yu had no idea whether the Watchers in this world, or even if they were even a thing.
What's even more unbeknownst to them is that the Watchers actually went to the vicinity of Earth to specifically observe themselves.
Or rather, it was an observation of the center of the universe's destiny. After Xia Yu's arrival, the river of fate changed from time to time.
But those changes were like tiny ripples in a river, hardly attracting any attention. However, the presence of the Ancient One was like forcibly turning a small bend in the river, and the Watchers immediately focused their attention there.
The energy that the Ancient One used to suppress Dark Magic, along with the Dark Magic itself, was permanently sealed within her body by Xia Yu using the energy of the Space Stone. This portion of energy essentially disappeared permanently from the Ancient One's body.
In other words, from this moment on, the Ancient One was just an ordinary Earthling. However, she possessed the seed of power and thousands of years of cultivation experience, so it was only a matter of time before she could cultivate back into a sorcerer.
But now that she's an ordinary person, the Ancient One is unusually excited. "Where you sit determines your position, "With great power comes great responsibility."
She has now handed over the position of Sorcerer Supreme and the Time Stone to Doctor Strange, and she can't even use a single spell now.
Since becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One has never felt so relaxed.
Dormammu and saving the Earth were no longer relevant to her at this moment. All she wanted to do now was travel the world.
He excitedly had the Avengers give him a new identity and then extorted over a hundred million US dollars from the grief-stricken Xia Yu.
I'm getting ready to travel around the world.
To quote the Ancient One.
As the previous generation's Sorcerer Supreme, I should at least have a certain standard of living when I travel.
Although losing over a hundred million US dollars made Xia Yu very unhappy, Xia Yu was still quite happy that Ancient One was still alive and living the life she wanted.
This is not just because of his feelings for the Ancient One, or his respect for a guardian; it is also Xia Yu's confidence in changing his destiny in the future.
At first, Xia Yu wasn't very confident that he could ultimately change everything. He just thought that since the system existed, everything would definitely go smoothly, which could be described as a semi-avoidant attitude.
Later, when he met the old man in the Time Sanctum with the Ancient One, he learned that the system was not omnipotent, but just a tool created by someone. He began to feel like a player who had lost their cheat code, worried about whether he could still change his fate.
Although he is known as the Yu Shen worldwide, only he knows that he is just an ordinary person.
Without the system, let alone being Avengers, it would be uncertain whether he could even survive safely in this world. He knew clearly that he was the Xia Yu he was today entirely because of the system.
He always felt that the system would help him fight against fate, overcome everything, and ultimately have a happy ending, just like the protagonist in a novel.
However, after dissecting the system's omnipotence, Xia Yu began to lose confidence and became filled with self-doubt.
However, after Captain America comforted him, he resolutely went to save the Ancient One's life.
Although we don't know what changes will occur yet, just like the Captain said, they are the Avengers, and whatever happens, they will face it together.
Although Xia Yu was full of enthusiasm and confidence for the future, he was not blindly optimistic after seeing off the carefree Ancient One.
Xia Yu pondered for a long time but did not use the small magical artifact left by the Ancient One that could quickly repair the Sanctum at any time.
Although directly repairing all the Sanctum and then Xia Yu killing Kaecilius and his followers could solve the Dormammu problem to some extent.
However, Dormammu's existence remains a potential threat, and the best approach is to eliminate him in the long term.
If all else fails, just like in the movies, have Doctor Strange use the Time Stone to negotiate in an infinite loop.
While Xia Yu was thinking about how to solve the Dormammu problem, Kaecilius was not idle either.
Dormammu has coveted Earth for thousands of years, and he is growing impatient.
Especially after Kaecilius and his men destroyed several Sanctum, leaving only the Hong Kong Sanctum on Earth.
Earth is like a feast to Dormammu; he's already inside the yard and the house, except for the kitchen door, which is still closed.
Then suddenly there was no news for many days, which made Dormammu feel impatient for the first time.
With the Three Sanctums destroyed, Earth's spatial blockade against Dormammu is now reduced to a thin layer, and Dormammu doesn't want to wait another day.
"Destroy the Hong Kong Sanctum within three days to welcome my arrival."
Dormammu's voice resounded directly in the minds of Kaecilius and the other Dark Apostles, without uttering a single unnecessary word.
To Kaecilius, Dormammu's voice was an oracle.
Although they suffered a crushing defeat this time, only the Hong Kong Sanctum remains. Since no Avengers are stationed there, if they can destroy the Sanctum quickly enough, Dormammu's arrival will make the Avengers insignificant.
Upon receiving the divine oracle, Kaecilius was greatly encouraged. After carefully observing the Hong Kong Sanctum, he finally launched a fierce attack on the Hong Kong Sanctum on the last day of the deadline given by Dormammu.
However, the Hong Kong Sanctum is currently without any garrisoned sorcerers. When Kaecilius launched his attack, Doctor Strange Kaecilius directly in Hong Kong with Mordo.
They used some powerful, one-time-use magical artifacts to launch a sneak attack on Kaecilius and his group.
A complete set of magical armor used to control people's movements, almost identical in function to regular armor but with simpler shackles, appeared directly in mid-air and successfully controlled Kaecilius and his followers.
Then there are the one-time explosive artifacts treasured in Kamar-Taj that have almost never been used.
These are explosive magical artifacts created by each generation of the Sorcerer Supreme in their spare time, imbued with magical power. They are extremely powerful, especially against creatures of the dark attribute.
Hundreds of disposable magical artifacts, or perhaps more accurately, mana grenades, were hurled at Kaecilius and his group by Doctor Strange and Mordo in one go.
