"Yes, Ancient One, Dormammu took something that didn't belong to him, so I want to take it back and then teach him a lesson!"
Li Ge opened the book and looked at it. It was indeed the detailed information of Dark Dimension and Dormammu. Hearing Ancient One's words, he nodded in agreement.
He stuffed the book and marbles into his arms, actually putting them into Block World, and picked up the remaining tea, blowing and drinking while observing Ancient One's expression.
Only half of the tea was left. Seeing that Ancient One had no intention of connecting, Li Ge had to continue speaking, and the dissatisfaction in his tone was about to condense into substance. "Ancient One, you should really hope that Dormammu and I will meet, or to what extent do you want me to do it?"
"Are you going to make Dormammu give up on this world, or make him hurt to the point of his bones, or simply destroy him?"
"Li Ge..." Ancient One called Li Ge, his expression remained calm, but his eyes were staring straight at him. "Do you think Dormammu is very harmful to the world?"
"This... must be very big. Even Tower Reaching Heaven, who is as big as me, was robbed. If it weren't for the blocking magic arranged by Kamar-Taj, how could a mere earth have stopped him!"
"Then tell me... are you from this world? Should you... protect this earth?"
"Yes... right... protection... should..."
Ancient One has reached this point, Li Ge is also a little speechless, and the resentment of being plotted against her has dissipated a lot unconsciously.
Yes, I am indeed a human being on this earth in this life, and it is my duty to protect this earth.
"Li Ge, I hope you can understand that I never calculated against you, I just followed your original destiny."
"Although the future of this world has been completely changed by you, some things are still destined to happen, such as Dormammu coveting the earth."
"Since Dormammu dares to take away your Tower Reaching Heaven by force, I will continue to plot against you and Galactus the entire earth!"
"So, it's not that I want you to deal with Dormammu, but Dormammu is forcing you to face him!"
Li Ge listened quietly to Ancient One's words, but his heart had completely regained his composure.
After all, he had already figured this out, but he felt uncomfortable just because Ancient One knew everything but did nothing to stop it.
Now hearing Ancient One's explanation, he had to admit that she was right. Some things cannot be avoided, and they will stick to you on their own.
"Okay, Ancient One, let's get down to business. How do you think I should deal with Dormammu?"
Li Ge no longer mentioned the matter that Ancient One did not take action, but asked about the issues he was most concerned about. He felt that Ancient One had such a deep understanding of Dormammu and Dark Dimension that he should be able to make some good suggestions.
Ancient One took a deep look at Li Ge and knew that Li Ge must have figured it out. She immediately did not shirk and told her how to deal with Dormammu and Dark Dimension that she had been thinking about since she saw Li Ge's vague future through Time Stone.
"Li Ge, you should know how Dormammu became Lord of the Dark Dimension. Don't you think that such a big Dark Dimension shouldn't have more owners?"
"Oh?"
Li Ge's eyes lit up, Ancient One's idea coincided with his.
"You mean... let a few suitable people divide Dormammu's control over Dark Dimension?"
"Dark Dimension's power is beyond the control of ordinary people. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
In Li Ge's mind, several people's figures have emerged unconsciously, but he still wants to hear Ancient One's thoughts first.
Ancient One intentionally or unintentionally brushed the Eye of Agamotto she wore around her neck with her hand, and the Time Stone inside was still in Li Ge's hand.
She glanced at Li Ge and said nothing, but she seemed to have said everything. After all, the power of time is best used to deduce the future.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, Ancient One, I don't have any use for Time Stone anymore, I'll give it back to you right now!"
Being looked at like this by Ancient One, Li Ge is somewhat uncomfortable. He can indeed use the power of time to deduce the future. After all, he can even reproduce Time Stone. Instead, it is Ancient One. Without Time Stone, how can he use Time Stone to deduce the future no matter what?
Thinking that Time Stone was of no use to him, Li Ge decided to give it back to Ancient One. Protecting the earth still requires Kamar-Taj's future Sorcerer Supreme to worry about it!
However, Li Ge thought of another question, so when he took out Time Stone from Block World and handed it to Ancient One, he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"Ancient One, I have a question that has been on my mind for a long time. Have you... still decided to retire?"
Li Ge did not use the word "death", but used the term "retirement" which seemed milder, but he knew that Ancient One would definitely understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Ancient One kneaded and unfolded Eye of Agamotto to wrap Time Stone, and looked at him calmly. The tired emotion in her eyes was successfully captured by Li Ge who stared closely at her.
"I have been in this position Sorcerer Supreme for hundreds of years, and I am a little tired. Can you understand, Li Ge?"
Secretly sighing for Ancient One's efforts, Li Ge nodded slowly, took out the marble containing Kaecilius, and asked doubtfully, "Now that Kaecilius is in my hands, I will go to trouble Dormammu again, so what should you do next... how..."
Li Ge didn't finish speaking, but Ancient One understood what he was referring to.
She smiled nonchalantly and said what Li Ge had not finished, "What you want to ask is how I should die like my original destiny, right?"
Although it felt a little strange to discuss how he died in front of others, Li Ge also knew that a transparent person like Ancient One wouldn't care, so he nodded without hesitation.
Ancient One said calmly, "Just like Corpse-Liberated Immortal in Eastern myths and legends, I can also take the initiative to dismember the body!"
"Autopsy--?!"
"Ancient One, do the immortals in Eastern legends really exist?"
Li Ge also did not expect that Ancient One would speak a professional terminology in Daoist practice such as corpse dissection. He suddenly became interested in the Eastern gods and gods who had no sense of existence in almost all parallel universes and could not even be found.
"They... are the real gods!"
Ancient One's expression was a bit incomprehensible, and he obviously didn't want to say more.
Li Ge felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that there must be some secret that cannot even be revealed. Otherwise, how could a being like Ancient One appear to be so secretive?
"Ahem...Ancient One, it's getting late, I'll go back first, leave it to me where Dormammu is!"
After a moment of silence, Li Ge poured the last sip of tea into his mouth and said goodbye directly.
Regardless of whether it's immortal or not, let's deal with Dormammu's matter first.
