Richard's words attracted the attention of Mordo, and also attracted the curiosity of Ancient One and Kaecilius.
"The earth has been facing the prying eyes of Hell, Dream, darkness and other dimensions!"
"What they want is not conquest, not domination..."
"But devour!"
"They want to eat the earth whole!"
"Can you imagine what the Earth was like back then?"
"The entire earth, along with the life, history, present, and future on it, will all be reduced to nothing!"
Mordo's expression was uncertain, and Richard's description touched his heart.
"We can only become the unconscious nourishment of Hell or Dark Dimension..."
Kaecilius quietly gave a thumbs up to Richard.
Richard glared at Kaecilius cryptically, fearing that his actions would disturb Mordo and destroy the atmosphere he had finally built with words.
"Sorcerer Supreme absorbs Dark Force, not for power, nor for enjoyment!"
"For her, it's more like a curse!"
"Can you imagine? Every time you absorb Dark Energy, it is a transaction of souls and a fight against endless temptation and erosion."
"Sorcerer Supreme is suffering from the corrosion of Dark Force all the time..."
"Do you think this is what she wants?"
"No!"
"This is the heaviest price she has paid to protect the earth!"
Mordo was slightly moved, but he, who had always been upright, could not be persuaded so easily.
So Richard continues to increase its efforts.
"Who do you think made the rules of Kamar-Taj?"
"It's Sorcerer Supreme!"
"She carried this secret alone for hundreds of years..."
"Why? Just to trick us?"
"No!"
"Everything she did was to protect us!"
"To save us from the same pain she suffered!"
"Why did she choose to hide it?"
"It's because she knows very well that once this secret is revealed, it will inevitably cause division and suspicion among Kamar-Taj!"
"Just like you now, Senior Brother Mordo..."
"Betrayal?"
"She gave everything to protect Kamar-Taj and us, but she only got a betrayal from you?"
"Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Mordo's expression darkened, and there was a dull pain in his heart.
Richard keenly caught his emotional changes, his tone gradually softened, and he began to empathize with him.
"Think about it, Senior Brother Mordo..."
"If there is no Sorcerer Supreme, and now Dormammu wants to invade the earth, what should we do?"
"With only the White Magic and Power of the Vishanti we have, just with the London Sanctum, New York Sanctum and Hong Kong Sanctum, how long can Kamar-Taj last?"
"One day, two days? Three days, five days?"
"Similarly, why did Sorcerer Supreme make the decision to absorb Dark Force hundreds of years ago?"
Richard's words seemed to have cast a spell on Magic, affecting Mordo silently, causing him to involuntarily start thinking along with Richard's words.
"There is no successor, Senior Brother Mordo..."
"Except for Sorcerer Supreme, no one can stand up to resist Dormammu, resist Mephisto, resist Nightmare..."
"If she had followed order, obeyed the laws of nature, and chosen to die, then who would inherit her legacy and responsibilities?"
"Who?!"
Mordo is silent...
"No one..."
Richard's tone became desolate and sad.
Kaecilius means I am familiar with this paragraph...
"Kaecilius Sorcerer can testify that touching Dark Force will only lead to complete corruption and destruction!"
As he said that, he glanced at Kaecilius.
Kaecilius said with a dull face, "Yes, Sorcerer Mordo, I can prove that even if I don't actively touch Dark Force in my body, it still affects me all the time, trying to lead me into corruption..."
Mordo's expression became a little complicated...
"Sorcerer Supreme used her almost divine willpower and pure protective heart to resist the corruption and temptation of Dark Force..."
"This resistance continues every minute and every second, and Sorcerer Supreme has persisted for hundreds of years!"
"Betrayal?"
"Without Sorcerer Supreme, the earth would have ceased to exist long ago!"
Richard said meaningfully.
"Senior Brother Mordo, it is right to pursue order and obey the principles of natural operation..."
"But what is the real order? Let the earth be swallowed up by Hell Dimension and Dark Dimension?"
"Or are guardians like Sorcerer Supreme paying an unimaginable price to maintain the stability of the real earth on the most dangerous edge?"
"We are Kamar-Taj Sorcerer! We swear to protect the earth!"
"Sorcerer Supreme is Sorcerer Supreme, the leader of Kamar-Taj Sorcerer. What is her primary responsibility?"
Richard stared at Mordo with sharp eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Answer me, Senior Brother Mordo!"
Mordo lowered his head and said slowly with a thick nasal voice, "Protect the earth."
"That's right! Protect the earth!"
Richard slapped the Snap with satisfaction.
"Sorcerer Supreme made the same choice as you hundreds of years ago..."
"Among the options of protecting the earth and maintaining Kamar-Taj's dogma, Sorcerer Supreme chose the most important one of protecting the earth!"
"She protected it for hundreds of years at all costs!"
"When she first faced a dark threat that could destroy the earth, she gave up her 'purity' and found a way to resist destruction no matter how dark it was..."
"Absorb Dark Force, use the power of Dormammu to fight against Dormammu!"
"Relying on Sorcerer Supreme's efforts, we can live safely..."
"This is reality, Senior Brother Mordo..."
Mordo's mind is dizzy again...
Richard patted Mordo on the shoulder at the right moment, and secretly glanced at Kaecilius.
Kaecilius understood what he meant instantly.
"I understand the Wrath and sense of betrayal in your heart, Sorcerer Mordo..."
"Because I have the same experience as you..."
"When Dormammu told me the secret of Sorcerer Supreme's use of Dark Force, my heart was extremely filled with Wrath. I concluded that she was a hypocrite and a liar..."
"But the reality is that Sorcerer Supreme has used Dark Force to protect the earth for hundreds of years."
Richard then interjected.
"Do you know why Dormammu has been targeting the earth so tirelessly?"
Mordo raised his eyes to look at Richard and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why?"
Richard gestured to Ancient One: "In order to collect debt from Sorcerer Supreme..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Richard ignored their speechless expressions and said with a mean smile, "Dormammu, this creditor, is so pitiful..."
"Every time I come to collect debts, I get beaten up by Sorcerer Supreme..."
"Assuming it is once a year, Dormammu has been beaten hundreds of times for collecting debts in the past few hundred years..."
"If it comes to you, can you not be angry or smash your head against the earth?!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
