Three days later, in a church, Kaecilius was floating cross-legged above the lecture, closing his eyes to comprehend the knowledge given to him by Dormammu.
Suddenly, his consciousness was pulled into a black space, but Kaecilius did not panic. Instead, he said with fanaticism on his face, "Great Dormammu, what are you calling your most devout believer for?"
Dormammu looked at the dark circles in front of his eyes becoming more and more intense, and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Dark Energy had eroded him very much in the past few days. Although going further would be enough to make him completely his slave, this is enough for now.
If he is transformed into a dark creature, he will be noticed by Kamar-Taj's realm array, so the current level is just right.
Dormammu looked at the fanatical Kaecilius and said, "I have discovered the Dimension Lord who was kept captive by Kamar-Taj. Next, I will defeat him., and you need to bring other believers to destroy Sanctum of Kamar-Taj. Finally, I will bring the earth to Dark Dimension and enjoy the life of Eternity!"
"Understood, the great Dormammu."
Kaecilius nodded and said, then returned to Material World.
Opening his eyes, Kaecilius fell to the ground and looked at the believers sitting under the podium.
His followers were all blown away by that guy Renn, leaving him alone. But even if he is accepted by Dormammu, he may not be able to defeat the thousands of mages of Kamar-Taj.
So he kidnapped hundreds of people around him, eroded them with dark energy, and turned them into semi-dark creatures. Although these guys didn't know magic and were completely lost in dark abilities, their physiques were greatly strengthened, and each of them had terrifying power.
"The great Dormammu will come to this world, and we will clear all obstacles on his way forward! Target, Kamar-Taj's three-seat Sanctum!"
Kaecilius shouted loudly, Dark Energy waved their gathered arms, and the believers below also let out inhuman howls.
After showing off at the Security Council headquarters every day, Lu Qi returned to Kamar-Taj carrying a bag of pastries. Taking the Coke handed to him by Ninja Soldier, Lu Qi took a nice sip.
Wandering like a street kid, Lu Qi walked into the library. At this time, Tony and Stephen were discussing some magic knowledge.
Lu Qi looked at the familiar appearance of the two and walked over carrying the pastries.
"Damn it, you're finally back!" Tony saw Lu Qi and quickly stood up and walked towards Lu Qi.
"What's wrong? You two still have problems that you can't solve?" Lu Qi said with a smile, and saw Tony walking towards him anxiously, and then snatched the snack bag from his hand.
"I haven't eaten this snack for twenty-four hours. Damn it, I feel like I can't live without him." Tony quickly took out a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lu Qi shook his head helplessly and crossed Tony to come to Stephen.
"He looks like he was poisoned." Lu Qi said helplessly.
Stephen glanced at Tony and shook his head helplessly, "There is no way. His spiritual body has not been strengthened and cannot resist the kind of snacks that are enough to impress the soul."
"Small snack?" Tony After eating a piece of snack, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a long drought had met the rain.
"I can't live without this snack now. Without it, I feel like I can't even think!"
Tony said intoxicatedly, "Damn it, why wasn't the first time I ate so delicious?"
Lu Qi shrugged, "Maybe God of Cookery made it casually the first time, and then it was God of Cookery's special version for me?"
Watching Tony indulge in delicious food, Lu Qi snatched the bag from his hand and threw a snack to Stephen.
I stuffed a piece of snack into my mouth, feeling the signals from my taste buds and the fluctuations that touched my soul. Lu Qi also enjoyed it very much, but it didn't feel as completely addictive as Tony.
Looking at Tony's appearance, Lu Qi doesn't care. Taking this snack for a long time can slowly strengthen Tony's spiritual body and strengthen his mental power fluctuations, making Tony's spiritual body extremely hungry for this snack. This is the main reason for Tony's addiction.
Seeing Tony returning to normal after eating the snacks, Lu Qi said with a smile, "Now that the qualified countries on the earth have joined Trade Station, the next step is the large enterprises on the earth, and Stark Group is among them, so if you want to eat it later, you can directly ask your person in charge to buy it for you."
"That's good, I think I can eat this for three meals a day!" Tony said with a smile.
Lu Qi smiled, "You don't want your cheeseburger?"
Tony rolled his eyes, "If they can give me the recipe for this snack, I can just close all the burger restaurants and sell this thing."
Stephen, who was next to him, took a bite of the pastry and said, "I don't think this thing can be made with a fixed recipe. It may require other powers."
Then the two started discussing the spells and methods needed to make this pastry, and Lu Qi also joined in with a smile.
Then they discussed for a long time, of course they discussed...
If you don't know it, it would be strange if you could guess someone else's thousands of years of recipes and techniques in a short time.
It was noon, and the two of them met with Galacta. After having lunch outside, Lu Qi came to a remote location and opened the portal to Asteroid Belt.
Using a thick layer of Dark Energy to block the air, Lu Qi quickly walked over.
In the past few days, he went to the Security Council headquarters every day to check on the situation. If everything was fine, he would go back to Kamar-Taj with a bag of God of Cookery brand cakes and feed the hungry Tony and Galacta. Then he would go to outer space to swallow some meteorites.
I maintain this routine every day. Although it is not so leisurely, this kind of regular life is surprisingly good.
Randomly avoiding two meteorites that hit each other at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per second, Lu Qi picked out his target and started a new day's work.
In Kamar-Taj, Galacta ran to play with her good sister Sylvie, Tony ran to do his own research, and Stephen went back to his room to read the translation given to him by Tony.
After finishing the latest book, Stephen stretched out and looked at the pile of books beside him, feeling that it was time to rest for a while.
Lying on the bed, Stephen looked at his still trembling hands, but already felt a little indifferent. Having seen a deeper and more dimensional world, his perspective was no longer limited to his own body.
But it would be better.
Closing his eyes, Stephen's hands flashed with black light. After opening his eyes, he looked at his hands that were no longer shaking and smiled.
After lying on the bed for a while, Stephen inexplicably wanted to go back and see Christine, so he changed into regular clothes and planned to go back to see her, and maybe see if she had any more difficult patients recently, and he might be able to help.
Looking at the Sling Ring in his hand, Stephen smiled, took off the Sling Ring, and walked out the door. Since you want to rest, there is no need to rush, just walk slowly.
Arriving at the bustling street of Kamar-Taj, Stephen bought some snacks at the snack street and walked to the teleportation hall.
It's a pity. He should save some of the pastries Lu Qi brought next time, but it's okay. For him now, the farthest distance on earth is just a wave of his hand. In the future, he can just draw the door and go back.
Stephen thought happily, and came to the teleportation hall of Kamar-Taj. It was his first time here. He looked at the three teleportation doors here, but as a newbie, he didn't know which door led to New York.
Why don't they put some signposts here?
Stephen looked at these almost identical signs, leaned against the circular pillar in the middle, and thought about which door to take.
"You'd better not lean on that, Master Strange." A voice suddenly came over, and Stephen stood up straight in a fright.
Mordo walked out of the darkness and looked at Stephen with a smile.
"That thing is very important, don't break it."
"This?" Stephen looked at the cylinder he was leaning on just now, and looked at Mordo in confusion.
Mordo came over, pressed his hands on the ball above, and a model of the earth also appeared in the sky.
"This thing is a controller used to control this huge magic circle. Touching it at will may cause a series of loopholes in the magic circle." Mordo looked at the huge magic circle that appeared on the earth model, adjusted the ball slightly, and then put down his hand with satisfaction.
"This magic circle is really big. What's its use? Can it resist aliens?"
Stephen remembered the battle that took place in the suburbs of New York and asked Mordo.
"This magic circle is more important than you think. It is used to resist those Dimensional Demon God who are trying to engulf the earth."
"Wow." Stephen said expressionlessly, "I originally thought those guys were just like capitalists, but I didn't expect those guys were even more extreme than capitalists and actually wanted to devour us."
Mordo looked at his appearance and smiled, "Those guys are scarier than you think, but Sorcerer Supreme built this giant magic circle and used it to protect the earth, and Kamar-Taj's mages came to protect this magic circle."
Stephen nodded, "Then is Kamar-Taj capable of guarding this magic circle?"
Mordo nodded, "The Ancient One is the strongest Sorcerer Supreme in history. In addition, Kamar-Taj now has the help of Dimension Lord, which allows us to explode with power that we could not imagine before. Therefore, there is no doubt that Kamar-Taj now has the power to protect this magic circle."
Stephen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Since you have enough strength, I don't need to participate in those mysterious wars. I thought I had to face those guys too. After all, I'm just here to heal my hands."
But Mordo shook his head, "Every mage in Kamar-Taj has the mission to protect the magic circle, and you are no exception, not to mention you have such a high talent for magic."
"But your power is enough, why do you still need my power?" Stephen asked in confusion, "Besides, I think Tony's spell talent is no lower than mine. If you really need enough power, why don't you bring him in?"
Mordo glanced at him steadily, "Tony·Stark does not belong here. He is more suitable to wear his armor to protect the earth from being occupied by aliens."
"And you, Master Strange, you have a very high talent for magic. You have learned in a few days what other mages cannot learn in a month. Don't you think you can make a better contribution with your talent?"
Stephen shook his head, "For me, I can make a contribution whether on the operating table or on those mysterious battlefields, and I am more inclined to fight on the operating table."
Looking at his hands that were no longer trembling, Stephen showed it to Mordo, "These hands have saved countless people. I believe I can use them to make my contribution."
"You may be able to save thousands of people by staying on the operating table for a lifetime, but if you can join us in fighting those Dimensional Demon God camp, you can save many more people."
Mordo looked at Stephen in silence and continued, "Your talent is very strong, and with Lu Qi's support for you, I believe you will become stronger and stronger, and I even believe you can become the next Sorcerer Supreme!"
Mordo said seriously, for him, putting Stephen and the Ancient One together is already his highest praise for everyone.
Finally, Mordo continued, "You need to know: with greater ability comes greater responsibility."
The scene was strangely quiet for a while, and Stephen frowned and asked, "Did you come up with that sentence yourself?"
Mordo was also surprised by his own words, "It seems... yes?"
Stephen raised his eyebrows. This sentence was quite lethal, but for him, compared to the battlefield, the operating table was more familiar to him, and he was used to controlling everything on the operating table.
Finally, after some thinking, Stephen said seriously to Mordo: "I believe that Kamar-Taj does not lack my strength, and I also believe that Kamar-Taj can protect the earth without me. But..."
Stephen looked at Mordo, "What you said touched me. I think I can contribute my own strength."
Seeing Mordo laughing, Stephen continued, "I can provide free treatment services to Kamar-Taj's mages, but I usually won't go to the battlefield. Of course, if there is an emergency and no one can stay away, I will also help."
Mordo paused for a while and nodded, "That's enough. Ancient One is not always on the front line. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the mages who are fighting on the front line, Strange... doctor"
Stephen smiled slightly, he liked the title doctor. Just when the two reached a consensus, an alarm suddenly sounded.
"London Sanctum!" Mordo raised his head in surprise and looked at Stephen.
"Is the situation urgent?" Stephen frowned.
"Of course, Three Sanctums is a key node in maintaining the magic circle, and every Sanctum is crucial!" Mordo said without hesitation, and drew out the long knife from his waist.
"Well, it seems I have to go and have a look. I hope the situation is not too bad. This is my first time to participate in such a mysterious battle." Stephen said helplessly.
The two sent messages asking for help to other mages and rushed through the gate to London Sanctum.
