Kamar-Taj.
"Mission accomplished, Master."
After returning from the Dark Dimension, Tony handed the Eye of Agamotto on his chest to the Ancient One and said with a smile.
"If this had failed, I would have had to question the purpose of your journey."
The Ancient One did not take the Eye of Agamotto Tony offered her. Instead, she smiled and shook her head.
"You don't need to give the Eye of Agamotto back to me."
"You, who resolved the battle between Kamar-Taj and Dormammu, are now qualified to succeed the Sorcerer Supreme."
"It is yours."
"And I should step down as well."
By the end, the Ancient One's tone carried both sentimentality and relief.
Tony's arrival had changed the future she had seen and altered her original choice. Fortunately, her choice had been the right one.
She had wanted Tony to succeed her as Sorcerer Supreme long ago, but Tony had always used Dormammu as an excuse to refuse.
No, it should be said that Tony had sensed her intentions but did not want her to sacrifice herself, so he had deliberately delayed things.
Fortunately, Tony understood her. At this moment, he had ended the years-long conflict between Kamar-Taj and Dormammu, and it was time for her to retire.
"From this moment onward, you are Kamar-Taj's Sorcerer Supreme, Tony."
The Ancient One spoke gently. Tony fell silent for a moment, but he still took back the Eye of Agamotto.
Although he had expected this, now that it had truly happened, his feelings were still complicated.
People were always greedy. They wanted to hold all the beautiful things in their hands and hoped those beside them could remain with them forever. They found it difficult to accept parting, and even less willing to accept the death of those close to them.
