"No saving him."
Strange spoke bluntly. After all, he wasn't talking to Thor.
He found it a little strange too. Loki and Thor had only met him not long ago, and the God of Mischief had already kicked the bucket?
"Can this save him?" Harry projected the Mind Scepter in his hand.
"No." Strange shook his head. "The body is secondary. His soul has been severely damaged. The Mind Stone affects a person's consciousness, but it can't repair a shattered soul."
Looking at Loki in the distance, Harry continued asking:
"...Then he's carrying something valuable. Is there any way to take it out?"
Strange shook his head again. "I don't know much about Runes. I might even know less than you."
Then what do you know? Harry stopped himself from saying it and began missing the Ancient One.
Strange was still far too inexperienced. He didn't understand this, couldn't do that—he might as well find an opportunity to get himself hospitalized again.
Besides, what Loki used wasn't Rune magic, but something closer to Witchcraft, making it even harder to unravel his trickery.
Seemingly sensing Harry's disdain, Strange said, "But as long as the caster dies completely, the spell will unravel."
You needed to tell me that? Harry rolled his eyes. Killing Loki meant getting past Thor first, and that would trigger a chain reaction.
After thinking for a while, Harry looked at the thing on Strange's chest—the Eye of Agamotto.
Not only was it a powerful Artifact, it also contained the Time Stone. Harry remembered that in the movie, when fighting Dormammu, Strange had used it to bring a whole lot of people back to life.
Feeling Harry's gaze, Strange shook his head. "No—I know what you're thinking. That would break the rules."
"Rules—always rules. Doctor, this thing is important.
