Fight for the Sorcerer Supreme Title? Let Wanda Take My Place!

Library.

The Ancient One and Strange stood side by side.

They clearly belong to the same camp.

Stephen Strange, the Ancient One's chosen successor, is destined to become the Sorcerer Supreme; his ascension to the throne is only a matter of time.

Even his popularity once surpassed that of Chen Ji, the Acting Sorcerer Supreme.

After all, the Acting Sorcerer Supreme has the title but no real power!

This is Kamar-Taj, a temporary position created to unite Asgard and strengthen trust between the two major powers.

Now, the misunderstanding between Kamar-Taj and Asgard has been resolved, and they are slowly beginning to trade with each other.

Therefore, it's time for the title of Acting Sorcerer Supreme to disappear.

This was not only the Ancient One's idea, but also a proposal from the Mystic Council.

"Is this a case of discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose?"

Chen Ji frowned.

He had gleaned a wealth of information from the expressions on everyone's faces and deduced even more inside stories.

Kamar-Taj.

It's time to start 'de-aging'!

Essentially.

This ancient, secluded sect is no different from a corporate entity. As a sacred place with secret techniques passed down for countless years, it naturally doesn't care about the gain or loss of a single soldier.

Throughout history, Mystic Arts Master have left one after another, taking over Earth Secret Realm and establishing Hidden Families.

This has not shaken the foundation of Kamar-Taj in the slightest.

The foundation of Kamar-Taj is not a tangible person, but this IP, this library!

In fact, Chen Ji had long anticipated that this day would come sooner or later, but when it arrived, he still couldn't help but feel complicated.

"List."

"This Strange is just as talented as you."

"If you do not wish to assume the position of Sorcerer Supreme, then I may pass on the Eye of Agamotto to him."

Ancient One smiled.

This is tantamount to revealing one's true intentions at the last moment.

After all, Chen Ji himself was actively severing ties with Kamar-Taj.

They had neither the intention to stay here long nor the awareness to take on great responsibilities.

She didn't want to do something so disheartening.

But the purpose of her Immortality Ritual, secretly drawing power from the Dark Dimension to forcibly prolong her life until now, was to allow the title of Sorcerer Supreme to be passed on to Stephen Strange!

"Pass on the Eye of Agamotto to him...?"

"The Ancient One"

Are you sure he can manage Kamar-Taj?

Chen Ji's expression was strange.

Even though he knew the Ancient One's intentions, he didn't show any emotional fluctuation, since he had already founded the Vought Group.

They also brought the Midnight Sons to Sokovia.

Certainly.

He has no intention of leaving Kamar-Taj and starting his own business.

Because he has not yet finished reading the Book of Arcane Arts in the library, nor could he possibly finish reading it!

The key issue is...

The Doctor Strange standing before us is none other than the Dark Supreme Strange!

He wants to reverse the Absolute Time Point!

Handing Kamar-Taj over to the Dark Supreme Strange is tantamount to putting a knife to your throat and leaving yourself at his mercy.

Then everything he has built, including all living beings in this universe, will be reduced to ashes and all things will perish!

"List."

"I may be lagging behind you in the field of arcane arts."

"But don't forget, I'm a top-notch neurosurgeon, and I have considerable influence in my hospital."

Strange laughed.

He doesn't see any difference between running a hospital and running a religious sect.

Isn't it enough to just follow the rules?

It's not that complicated at all!

Humans are the complex ones!

For example, the current Acting Sorcerer Supreme has also developed influence in Sokovia by using Kamar-Taj as a springboard.

This is no secret at all.

The Ancient One had seen it all long ago, but he didn't expose it, which was also for the sake of the overall situation.

If she tolerates Chen Ji's underhanded tactics, then Chen Ji cannot interfere with her decisions.

If Chen Ji breaks this tacit understanding.

Chen Ji will have to face not only the Dark Supreme Strange, but also the current Sorcerer Supreme!

"The position of Sorcerer Supreme shall be held by the most capable person."

"The Ancient One"

"According to Kamar-Taj tradition, Stephen Strange will need to defeat me to take this position."

Chen Ji smiled.

He invoked ancient traditions.

Back when he became the Acting Sorcerer Supreme, he had already sparred with Baron Mordo, Kaecilius.

This is what established his current status.

Strange was forcibly promoted to the position by the Ancient One without any prior sparring. Who would accept that?

"Venerable One."

"I think Chen is right."

"I also happen to want to test my abilities."

Strange smirked.

But Ancient One narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Strange."

"I'm afraid you're no match for Chen."

"Even I can't see through Chen's true strength now, so there's no need for you to humiliate yourself."

Ancient One told him frankly.

The approval from the Sorcerer Supreme also caused a look of shock on the faces of Strange and Master Murphyson.

Ancient One couldn't discern Chen's true strength?

This is... Zun Du fake Du?

Master Murphyson and Strange looked at each other in silence, but in reality, a storm was raging inside them, and they almost wondered if they were hallucinating!

Doesn't this mean that Chen's strength has reached parity with the Sorcerer Supreme?

Even the Sorcerer Supreme wasn't entirely confident he could defeat Chen Ji.

This is really big news!

If this were to spread, the Hidden World would be shaken, and all the leaders of the Hidden Families would secretly admire Chen's power.

"Bringing shame upon oneself?"

Strange suppressed his displeasure.

The fist hardened and then loosened.

But the Ancient One had already Transcendent Sainthood; he would never engage in deception. Since he had made such a judgment, there was no need for him to stand up for himself.

But...

Why does he just feel unhappy?

The significance of his efforts lies in surpassing Chen Ji.

Become the most powerful sorceress in Kamar-Taj?

"The Ancient One"

"I came to the library not to fight, but to understand dreams."

"I previously encountered a lord from the Nightmare Dimension and even stumbled into the dream of Hela, almost becoming trapped there forever."

"Excuse me..."

What are the differences between dreams and reality?

Chen Ji's eyes darted around, and he quickly asked a question.

Perhaps no one understands Dimension Lord better than the Ancient One.

"You actually encountered Nightmare?"

"... And the Death Goddess?"

"No wonder."

"You will return to Kamar-Taj."

"This book, the Great Dream Heart Sutra, may dispel your confusion, but you must never underestimate dreams; they concern... the entire Multiverse."

Ancient One's expression was slightly solemn.

Immediately, with a casual gesture, he summoned a Book of Arcane Arts.

The book cover is old.

Four large Sanskrit characters are faintly visible above.

The Great Dream Heart Sutra.

Clearly, this is a book that depicts dreams.

"Thank you, Ancient One."

Chen Ji bowed slightly and accepted the Book of Arcane Arts.

A sense of relief welled up inside me.

He not only wanted to understand dreams, but also to master them and comprehend the true meaning of the Dream-Taming Power.

After all, the fact that he can intervene in dreams and unleash his power in countless dreams is itself amazing.

Being in Dream World allows one to converse with the souls of others. If one were to imbue a word with a soul, what would be the difference between imbuing it with a physical body?

All of this remains to be deciphered!

"Nightmare... Hela..."

"Dimension Lord?"

Strucker's pupils constricted.

Only now did he truly realize the level of the enemy Chen Ji was facing!

He had never even heard of either of those names!

Fortunately, he didn't lose his temper and provoke Chen Ji. As for the outcome of the sparring match, it will be clear at a glance!

He brought shame upon himself!

"The Ancient One"

"Since you've decided to relinquish the position of Sorcerer Supreme, I have one more suggestion..."

"In Midgard, I discovered a beautiful woman who was born with magical powers."

"I believe she is also qualified to compete for the title of Sorcerer Supreme."

Chen Ji's eyes darted around.

Instead of passing the title of Sorcerer Supreme to Doctor Strange, why not support Wanda to become the Sorcerer Supreme!

After all, Scarlet Witch's mission is either to rule the universe or to destroy it!

Rather than leaving Wanda in danger, it would be better to send her to Kamar-Taj.

In any case, Wanda now has the ability to protect herself, and the ancient heritage of Kamar-Taj can make Wanda even stronger.

"Born with magical powers?"

"You mean Miss Ororo Munroe?"

"Still..."

The Ancient One frowned slightly.

She had a vague sense that things were getting out of control.

Is Chen Ji also coveting the position of Sorcerer Supreme?

That would be troublesome.

If Chen Ji really wants to seize the position of Sorcerer Supreme, then Strange currently has no chance of winning.

"No."

"Her name is Wanda, Wanda Maximoff."

"I will take her to Kamar-Taj."

"I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised."

Chen Ji smiled.

He could almost foresee that the Ancient One's expression upon sensing the Chaos Magic would undoubtedly be quite a sight!

"All right..."

"Then I will follow the traditions of Kamar-Taj."

"If this Wanda you're talking about defeated Strange..."

"Then, she will be the next Sorcerer Supreme."

The Ancient One smiled wryly.

Ultimately, whether in the Hidden World or Kamar-Taj, the strong reign supreme.

Tradition and rules are just a fig leaf.

"Stephen."

"Don't let me down and lose to a lady, that wouldn't look good."

Chen Ji's eyes gleamed with cunning.

Strange immediately tensed up.

After all, he had received personal instruction from the Ancient One. If he could fail even with that, not only would he lose face, but the Ancient One's prestige would also plummet.

"Oh, right."

"Master Murphyson."

"I need a few more books about the soul."

Chen Ji open the Mystic Portal, and on the eve of his departure, he looked at Murphyson one last time.

Murphyson paused for a moment, then ran to the bookshelf, brought back several Book of Arcane Arts, and handed them to Chen Ji.

Including, but not limited to, the Book of Spirit, the Astral Realm Ritual, and the Shadowwalking Grimoire...

Chen Ji smiled slightly, waved his hand immediately, and left Kamar-Taj.

Only the Ancient One and Strange remained, their expressions shifting.

They clearly sensed the storm was coming!

Sokovia.

The new headquarters of the Vought Group.

With a massive investment of financial and material resources, the building rose from the ground at lightning speed, and has ten floors.

Its overall shape resembles a tower but is not quite a tower; it became a landmark building in Sokovia as soon as it was completed.

Underground, there is a Hive -like structure, fully equipped with all kinds of cutting-edge instruments, high-tech equipment, and biochemical research devices.

The first floor is for reception and meeting guests.

On the second to fourth floors, a large number of clerical staff were recruited to be responsible for brand operations and online customer service.

Floors five through seven house laboratories, as well as guest rooms and accommodations.

As for the eighth and ninth floors, they are considered top-secret areas, and only company veterans are allowed to enter and exit them.

Top floor.

Like a sky garden, it is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, with a huge outdoor swimming pool and balcony, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and the Sokovia border.

This is also Chen Ji's private area.

It was also his personal Sanctum.

Afterwards, he will inscribe numerous Rune and magic arrays on the top floor of the Vought Group; no amount of attention is too much!

To completely transform the Vought Group into a magical fortress, and then continue adding more features!

Even when he was building the Vought Tower, he included a clever trick: the top floor and the main building could actually be separated into two parts.

Once the Infinity Element are invented and the Arc Reactor is developed, this building will be able to take off and transform into a flying fortress.

They can run away at any time.

Even if the Divine Awakening Unstoppable, they can still escape Earth in the first instance!

"That's really good."

"Thanks a lot."

"Raven."

Chen Ji stood in front of the Vought Tower, a hint of approval on his face, as if he were in Black Robe World.

Mystique actually brought his sketches to life, successfully creating a perfect 1:1 replica!

"I was just in charge of supervising the construction."

"The success of the Vought Group today is all thanks to you."

"List."

"I have good news for you."

"Leader, we've found the perfect ratio of the Fountain of Wisdom and the X-Factor; we can launch our first extraordinary drink now."

Raven was secretly looking forward to it.

Jotun Spring.

Can it really activate the latent X-Factor in a large number of individuals?

"Very good."

"Go and inform Zemo to Jotun Spring water and send it to the Extraordinary Abilities Department for drinking."

"This is a great opportunity to test the effects of the drink."

Chen Ji smiled.

He used the agents from the Extraordinary Abilities Department as guinea pigs!

However, this will not affect health. Even without activating the X-Factor, it can refresh the mind, enhance intelligence, and is entirely beneficial.

"Clear."

Raven nodded.

Soon, the pipeline system built into the mountain, following the Leader's secret formula, began operating continuously.

Bottles of Jotun Spring have been bottled.

They were labeled, packed into cardboard boxes, loaded into a truck, and transported to the Department of Extraordinary Ability Research.

During this period.

Chen Ji didn't sit idle either; he went straight to the top floor and opened a Book of Arcane Arts.

I usually have two or three chapters saved up, and the plot I'm currently writing is very exciting for me.

I wonder if you, dear readers, will feel as excited as I do when you see this.

I'm working hard to improve my writing skills. This is my first book on Qidian, but it will definitely not be my last!
