Richard felt something in his heart.
[I think I discovered a big secret!]
He immediately controlled Spiritual Consciousness, which turned into silver thread, and suspended the induction of Beast-Eyed Doctor Strange.
In Dream, Ancient One looked at the bald white young man named Alex and said calmly, "Alex, at a quarter past three in the afternoon, a man named Stephen Strange will arrive at Kathmandu..."
Alex was refreshed and he couldn't wait to guess. "Stephen Strange? Who is that?"
"A worshiper? Or a challenger?"
"Do you need me to send him away?"
Ancient One shook his head and said seriously, "No, Alex, you must personally lead him to Kamar-Taj and keep him!"
"Sure to stay?" Alex was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily, "Teacher! Are you... accepting disciples again?!"
He suddenly stood up from Prayer Mat and shouted happily, "Great, now I am no longer the youngest one!"
Ancient One had a gentle smile on his face and just looked at him quietly.
It was afternoon in a blink of an eye.
Stephen Strange appears on the street of Kathmandu.
He wore a messy, greasy hair that looked like weeds, and his whole body revealed a deep exhaustion.
Stephen Strange was walking blankly on the crowded street, not knowing where to look...
Jonathan Pangborn only told him to come to Kathmandu, but there was no specific address, and he didn't know who he wanted to see for treatment...
And Alex, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the different him at a glance.
He immediately took off his hood and appeared in Strange's sight.
The tall bald white young man, whose Combat Mage outfit was very different from the others, immediately aroused Strange's curiosity.
He hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and followed Alex.
The two arrived at Kamar-Taj one after another.
The next scene is very similar to the procedure for Richard to infiltrate Kamar-Taj.
Ancient One personally knocked Strange's soul out of his body and threw him into Dimensional Rift, allowing him to see this magical real world with his own eyes.
In the following days, Alex taught Stephen Strange how to practice with great enthusiasm.
But in order to reverse his deep-rooted scientific and reasonable concepts, he used countless methods...
After getting started, Strange has grown at an amazing speed.
While Alex felt happy, Envy's emotions vaguely arose in his heart.
In the past, this kind of emotion would only appear in Kamar-Taj's other apprentices, or even in Sorcerer's official form.
When those people face geniuses like him...
But now, Alex feels it too!
But he didn't care because he was very confident!
I am confident in my abilities, and also confident in my relationship with teacher Ancient One...
But what happened next gave Alex an unforgettable blow.
Ancient One 'abandoned' him and chose Stephen Strange, who had just arrived at Kamar-Taj for a few months, as his successor.
This made Alex, who had long regarded the position of Sorcerer Supreme as something in his pocket, felt deeply betrayed!
He directly broke into the hall where Ancient One was resting and questioned her face to face.
"Teacher! You actually chose him? Why... why betrayed me?!"
Ancient One shook his fan and said very calmly, "Strange is the most suitable one."
"Alex, pack your luggage and leave Kamar-Taj today!"
Alex was stunned, and he looked at Ancient One in disbelief.
"You want to drive me away?!"
Ancient One's face once again showed the same gentle and kind smile as before, "Alex, you should go find your own destination and future!"
In this way, Alex was devastated and left the place where he had lived since childhood.
He wanders around like a stray dog in Kathmandu...
When it gets late at night, I just find a sheltered place to lie down and sleep.
When daylight came, I continued wandering aimlessly.
Fortunately, Kathmandu's customs and customs are relatively simple, and Alex managed to survive like a zombie...
One day three months later, Alex suddenly returned to Kamar-Taj.
He broke into Kamar-Taj Library, coldly cut off the head of librarian Mage Marcus with Sword of Vishanti, and stole a banned book.
However, this banned book is not "Book of Cagliostro", but a book called "Darkhold".
While Alex took away "Darkhold", it also took away nearly one-third of the Kamar-Taj apprentices and official Sorcerer.
These people are his loyal supporters at Kamar-Taj.
Alex came to London Sanctum, killed the resident Sorcerer here, and personally carved the Summoning Array recorded in "Darkhold" with their blood.
He wants to summon an ancient demon named Chthon and seek power from him.
But after Summoning Array was started, a meticulous elderly gentleman with silver-white hair arrived.
As soon as the elderly gentleman appeared on the stage, the terrifying power exuded from his frail body instantly pushed Alex and his men to their knees.
He looked at the leader Alex and showed a disgusted expression.
"Well, you are Alex Zakaria?"
"Tsk, tsk, no wonder a human with inferior qualifications would pray to me for strength."
He raised his chin slightly and said, "My name is Chthon, and I am the first life born on the earth."
Alex raised his head hard and looked at Chthon's face.
[Chthon...Elder Gods who survived the War of the Ancients?!"
Alex was so happy that he immediately knocked his head to the ground and shouted, "Great God Chthon, your most loyal slave, I beg you to give me supreme power!"
Chthon stroked the beard on his lips, looked at Alex with a half-smile, and said, "According to the summoning contract in "Darkhold", I must fulfill my duties... Since you pray to me for power, then I will give you power!"
After saying that, he directly swung out a black-purple energy and penetrated into Alex's forehead.
"Ugh!!!" Alex screamed immediately, holding his head in his hands and rolling around crazily on the ground.
"As long as you can withstand this supreme power given by God~"
Chthon lightly dropped a word and disappeared.
At the same time, the copy "Darkhold" lying on the ground also disappeared.
Chthon indeed gave Alex the power he wanted, but the human body simply cannot withstand that terrifying power.
His body was ignited with black and purple energy flames from the inside out...
A moment later, Alex's body was burned to ashes.
He clung on to his last remaining strength and sent a letter to Stephen Strange.
