The Ancient One has lived for over a thousand years.

As a pure Blue Star, her lifespan is almost at its limit at around a hundred years old.

The reason she has been able to live so long is entirely because she absorbed the power of Dormammu from the Dark Dimension.

What she did was a serious violation of the rules of Kamar-Taj.

After all, Kamar-Taj was established to defend against the invasion of Dormammu from the Dark Dimension.

Now she's absorbing Dormammu's power instead; what is that if not utterly rebellious?

However, at that time, the situation on Blue Star was critical, and the Nine Realms were in utter chaos, so the Ancient One had no choice but to do so.

A thousand years later, Blue Star is becoming increasingly prosperous, the crisis is slowly disappearing, and the Ancient One is tired of living.

She absorbs the power of the Dark Dimension, which is something that cannot be seen in the light, so in order to prevent others from finding out, she has always kept a cold face and an attitude of keeping people at arm's length.

Even after revealing her identity Sorcerer Supreme, she was still Ordinary Person who longed for family, friendship, and even love.

So, a thousand years of solitude and loneliness led her to the idea of finding someone to inherit the legacy of the Sorcerer Supreme, and then she prepared to retire behind the scenes.

If everything goes well with the Inheritors, she will find an opportunity to return to Blue Star.

In this way, she wouldn't have failed her master's dying wish.

However, Thor's arrival made her aware of Thanos's invasion, leading her to make a different choice.

That is to absorb more power from the Dark Dimension, push one's own power to its limit, and then trade one for one with the enemy.

Therefore, she deliberately secluded herself in a secret room, sealing herself away to prevent the aura of Dark Energy from leaking out and affecting others.

This was also to prevent others from finding out.

Of all those in Kamar-Taj, only the King knew this.

At this moment, Thor looked at the Ancient One, who was suspended in mid-air and exuding dark power, and asked curiously, "What... happened to you?"

Although I had sensed a faint power of the Dark Dimension when I came into contact with the other party before, it was never as exaggerated as it is now.

Ancient One quickly closed her eyes, forcibly suppressing the darkness in her heart.

"I'm fine. I called you here to ask you, where is Thanos?"

She has now reached the limit of the Dark Dimension's power she has absorbed. If she doesn't take a gamble now, she will likely be devoured by the darkness and become Dormammu's puppet.

That would be a disaster for the entire Blue Star.

After thinking for a moment, Thor said, "I've heard from other Gods that Thanos built Titan on a Planet near Asgard. It should be there."

Because of the destruction of Asgard, the other Gods of the Alliance of Gods, under the banner of revenge, began to recklessly invade the Milky Way.

Although we haven't seen them confront Thanos, the intelligence has never stopped.

He obtained this information from other Gods.

Suppressing her bloodlust and destructive urges, Ancient One asked in a low voice, "Can you take me there?"

Thor nodded, then asked, "Now?"

The Ancient One opened his eyes, and dark power surged throughout his body.

Immediately afterwards, everything went dark.

Seeing this, Thor immediately gripped his Thunderbolt Axe tightly and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Ancient One didn't speak. After a long while, the dark energy was slowly absorbed into her body, and her eyes returned to normal.

"It's alright, open the Bifrost now and take me there."

Hearing the other person's tired yet determined voice, Thor felt a pang of sadness for some reason.

However, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's possible, but there's no way to do it here."

Upon hearing this, Ancient One immediately stretched out her hands and, without using any Sling Ring, spun around in a circle.

The next second, a black Portal appeared in front of her.

On the other side of the Portal lay a snow-capped mountain.

When Thor and the Ancient One set foot here, a strong blizzard blew towards them.

However, at their level of strength, these natural disasters can be completely ignored.

Ancient One, looking exhausted, said, "Let's set off now."

Thor nodded, then raised Stormbreaker, and in a flash of Lightning, the two vanished.

On Titan in the Milky Way galaxy.

Today is the day the Supreme Tribunal Judgment the Guardians of the Galaxy.

A crowd of onlookers gathered in the courtroom's audience section, watching the five people with curiosity.

"Are they the ones who are fighting against Thanos?"

"Yes, I never imagined that even Thanos's daughter would be tempted by the enemy."

"These Aliens men are so evil. They actually lived with Miss Gamora before marriage, showing absolutely no concept of chastity."

"Yes, poor Gamora, she was tricked onto a path of no return."

"If you ask me, these alien men deserve to die. They have no sense of masculinity whatsoever and just mess around."

"However, Miss Gamora is innocent."

Listening to the chatter of the onlookers below, Thanos remained expressionless as he sat on the top floor.

People only need to know what he wants them to know. If they know too much, they will have inappropriate thoughts and disrupt social harmony.

At that moment, Thanos's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Because he sensed two powerful forces descending upon this Planet.

One is the power of darkness, the other is divine power.

Who are these two guys? Their strength must be at least at the Skyfather-level.

The next second, he vanished from the spot.

At the same time.

On a mountain peak on Titan.

The sound of the wind howling incessantly echoed.

A blizzard is raging here too.

If it weren't for the purple moon in the sky, Ancient One would have doubted that she was still in the same place.

A moment later, she also sensed the immense destructive power in the distance, so she turned to look at Thor, her eyes filled with determination, and said solemnly, "My time is running out. I don't know if I can succeed."

At this point, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes, and she continued, "But please tell Doctor Strange that the Time Stone cannot be completely trusted; we... are all just pawns."

Thor was completely bewildered upon hearing this.

But before he could ask a question, the voice that filled him with both fear and hatred rang out.

"Thor? You dare to come back? And you even brought backup?"

Thanos's figure appeared in the sky.

When Asgard was destroyed, he couldn't find Thor, so he realized that Thor had escaped using the Bifrost.

But I didn't expect Thor to be so brave, daring to bring someone with him to come find him.

He was now wearing the Tyrant Armor, wielding the Tyrant Glaive, and the Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand, so he wasn't afraid at all, even when facing two enemies at the Skyfather-level.

When Thor saw Thanos, he was immediately reminded of the deaths of his parents and the destruction of the Dwarf Star.

The anger in his heart could no longer be contained.

Thanos! Die!

With a roar, he gripped his Stormbreaker tightly, his body crackling with Lightning, and charged forward.
