Not long after, Kaecilius and the mages he recruited fell into darkness, joined Dormammu, rebelled against Kamar-Taj, and destroyed temples everywhere.
Wenwu had been quietly observing from the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to personally eliminate the Ancient One.
Meanwhile, he secretly switched the Eye of Agamotto worn by Stephen, having his clone take the Time Stone inside to another corner of the universe and hide it.
Within the Mirror Dimension, after a fierce battle, the Ancient One in the original story, was pierced through the body by Kaecilius.
At that very moment, Wenwu appeared.
" The Ancient One, you deserve to die by my hand!"
The instant they appeared, Wenwu activated the Reality Stone and the Power Stone with all his might, completely sealing off the entire space, imprisoning the Ancient One's body, sealing her soul with his Mind Stone power, and finally, unleashing the power of Life Control, enveloping the Ancient One's entire body.
" Xu Wenwu, what are you doing here? What do you want?"
The Ancient One, her body pierced by a sharp weapon, her face deathly pale, stared intently at the suddenly appearing Wenwu.
Wenwu remained silent, his eyes surging with icy killing intent. He instantly unleashed his power of Life Control, simultaneously devouring the Ancient One's body and soul!
"No, you can't do that...!"
The Ancient One's body was on the verge of death, and her soul desperately tried to break free and escape, but it was too late.
The spiritual and Mind Stone power of Wenwu was too vast and powerful. Having lost the initiative, she simply couldn't break free and had nowhere to escape.
A golden, solid soul flew out from Wenwu's body, grabbed the Ancient One's soul, and tore it into pieces, which were then absorbed and devoured by his golden soul!
Almost simultaneously, the Ancient One's physical body rapidly withered, and the dark energy hidden within her was completely extracted by Wenwu and purified by the sacred fire.
" Wenwu?! Damn it! What have you done?"
Mordo was filled with shock and rage as he watched the Ancient One perish completely.
Stephen's eyes were also bloodshot, his heart filled with boundless hatred, wishing he could tear Wenwu to pieces on the spot.
He and Mordo rapidly formed hand seals, unleashing two violent and terrifying streams of magical energy that blasted towards Wenwu's main body from one end to the other.
"If you have Mordo plotting against me, and also for offending me as my teacher!!"
Wenwu's gaze was icy, his golden soul returned to its place, and he was too lazy to waste any more words.
He opened his mouth and took a light gulp!
A terrifying sonic wave rippled outwards, causing the two to change their expressions and conjure magical shields for defense.
However, the magic shield was no match for it and shattered instantly. The sound wave sent Mordo and Stephen flying, both coughing up blood as they crashed against the tilted wall.
Kaecilius and the group of fallen mages recognized Wenwu. Although they were not afraid of him, they did not want to get bogged down in a fight with Wenwu at this moment, so they immediately tried to open a portal to escape!
But how could Wenwu let them leave? He raised his hand and manipulated the space to flip, and more than a dozen people were suddenly thrown away. The space gate that had just opened was also blocked by the shifted building.
" Wenwu, we are under the command of the Dahei Lord Dormammu! You cannot attack us!"
Kaecilius sternly rebuked Wenwu.
"What a joke! Even if Dormammu came in person, I'd dare to give him a powerful punch, let alone you!"
Wenwu raised his hand and manipulated the Mirror Dimension, and countless buildings, like giant millstones, crushed towards them.
How do you know Kamar-Taj magic?
Kaecilius cried out in surprise.
He never expected that Wenwu had mastered the mirror magic of Kamar-Taj, and he was extremely shocked.
Wenwu's combat power was already terrifying, and now that he has mastered high-level magic, his strength is simply unimaginable!
Wenwu paid no heed, and the buildings continued to crash down relentlessly.
Damn it!
Kaecilius cursed under his breath and immediately led more than a dozen of his men to activate the Mirror Dimension to resist, barely escaping the crushing crisis.
After regaining his footing, he was the first to condense a sharp spatial blade and charge fiercely towards Wenwu.
On the other side, Mordo and Stephen, though disdainful of joining forces with the fallen mage, were now in Extremis and knew that if they didn't join forces, they would only face certain death!
Mordo suppressed his internal injuries, wielding his golden magic sword and erecting a thick magical shield.
Stephen quickly formed hand seals, conjuring two magical wheels. The two gritted their teeth and followed Kaecilius, charging forward together.
"A bunch of mages dare to engage melee combat with me?"
Wenwu shook his head speechlessly, too lazy to even use his own special abilities and magic, and casually threw a punch.
With a deafening roar, Mordo's magic shield shattered, and the fist pierced straight through his chest, creating a gaping hole.
After his physique evolved into that of a demigod, he devoured the life essence of millions of people on Xandar. With the aid of the Reality Stone, his physique became virtually invincible!
Now, his strength far surpasses that of the normal Hulk, possessing a force of nearly ten thousand tons, Mordo simply has no way to withstand such a terrifying burst of power!
Mordo's physical body was on the verge of death, his soul immediately tried to escape. Suddenly, a giant golden hand emerged from Wenwu's body, instantly grabbing his soul, crushing it, and devouring it completely!
" Mordo...!"
Stephen's eyes widened in horror, and he screamed in terror.
Kaecilius and his party witnessed Mordo's gruesome death and were utterly horrified.
Before they could react, Wenwu had already activated his super speed, his figure instantly breaking through ten times the speed of sound, arriving in front of everyone in an instant, twisting their necks one by one, and devouring their life force and souls.
The remaining dark power within them was completely burned and purified by Wenwu with the Angel Holy Fire!
"Why! Why did you kill the Ancient One, why did you kill Mordo!"
With himself the only survivor, Stephen was filled with grief and indignation. He stared intently at Wenwu and questioned him sharply.
"I told you, blame them for provoking me."
Wenwu shook his head slightly, his tone indifferent and cold.
"You're so cruel! You're a demon! Just because someone offended you, you want to kill them all?"
Stephen roared angrily, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, trying to activate the Eye of Agamotto to fight against Wenwu, but the spell had no effect whatsoever.
His face suddenly paled in shock; the magical artifact had been working perfectly yesterday, but it had malfunctioned today!
"Hehe, no need to try, could the one you have be a fake?"
Wenwu raised his hand, holding the real Eye of Agamotto in his palm, and gently waved it in front of him, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
What he held in his hand at that moment was just an empty shell; the Time Stone inside had already been taken to the depths of the universe and hidden away by his clone.
"Damn it! You secretly switched it!"
Stephen instantly understood the truth, and in a fit of rage, he gathered his strongest magical energy and blasted it fiercely at Wenwu.
With a wave of his hand, Wenwu absorbed all the magical energy that Stephen had unleashed and returned it all with a backhand!
"Bang!"
In the critical moment, Stephen's magic Cloak took the initiative to protect its master, forcefully blocking the backlash attack. The Cloak itself was instantly blasted with a huge hole.
The immense impact sent Stephen flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, severely wounded and on the verge of death.
The tattered magic Cloak carried the dying Stephen as they tried to escape.
"You dare to run away from me with just a mere Cloak?"
Wenwu chuckled and raised his hand to manipulate the space to shrink.
The Cloak and Stephen were instantly pulled backward by the spatial force, landing directly in front of Wenwu.
Wenwu reached out and gripped Stephen's neck, his fingers tightening slightly.
Stephen rolled his eyes. His tattered magic Cloak was still desperately attacking, Wenwu directly activated the holy fire, burning the entire Cloak to ashes.
As for Stephen, he used his immense Mind Stone power to invade Stephen's memory, erasing all his memories of learning magic and turning him back into the surgeon he used to be.
He then opened a portal and threw Stephen into New York, ensuring he would die a natural death.
Doctor Strange cannot die until the identity of the one anchored in the universe is known!
Having done all this, Wenwu sat cross-legged in the Mirror Dimension and began to digest the memories of the Ancient One.
