Luke did not return to Magik's room. Taking advantage of the long night and enough time, let's have another in-depth exchange to promote friendship.
He stood in the hotel corridor for a while, and soon waited for Ancient One carrying Head-Busting Wand to push out the door.
"Solved."
The old man, who looked like an immortal, said calmly.
The Head-Busting Wand made of fine steel shimmers with cold light.
It was stained with bright red blood and had a strong smell of sulfur.
Before thinking of leaving the room, Mephisto made a miserable cry.
Luke believes that Sorcerer Supreme has used it to complete the task well - blowing the old devil's head.
"I was able to catch Mephisto this time. Thank you for your reminder."
The Ancient One drew a circle casually, put his hands behind his back, and took the lead in stepping into the transmission channel.
"The old devil has always been very cunning. Every time he leaves hell and comes to the world, his whereabouts are quite secretive."
"Moreover, he has Ghost Rider and a large number of incarnations in the material world. Three Sanctuaries is difficult to find."
"Although, it only damages one incarnation of Mephisto, but cannot harm it."
"But, in the next Sorcerer Supreme Tournament, there should be no way for him to get involved."
"You and Stephen-Strange can compete with peace of mind and complete the test."
Luke smiled slightly, normal people know that making a deal with the devil will not end well.
They not only crave your body, but also your soul.
He must swallow the entire human body, skin and bones, before he will give up.
This is the nature of the devil, greedy and ruthless.
You will only find them if you are desperate or losing your wits.
"Perhaps this is a trap deliberately designed by Mephisto. I want to test Ancient One your reaction and whether your end is really approaching..."
Luke's eyes flashed and he reminded softly.
Hell Lord comes to your door and gives you free money. No matter how you look at it, there is a conspiracy behind it.
Do not treat Mephisto lightly.
This guy always makes big news.
For example, move hell to Las Vegas, open a devil's hotel, and harvest souls with pleasure and desire.
Also, Spirit of Vengeance in Ghost Rider's body was imprisoned into the bodies of Captain Marvel and Thor.
Form an invincible Ghost Rider Squadron, press Doctor Strange Strange on the ground and rub it repeatedly, etc.
"Oh, I know very well what the old devil is thinking."
Return to Sorcerer Supreme from Kamar-Taj and switch the painting style instantly.
There is no such thing as a violent beating of Mephisto, and it is full of energy.
Instead, he turned into a severely injured person who was panting, looking gray, and struggling to walk.
"Hellspawn Blackheart, he is just a bait thrown out to attract Kamar-Taj's attention."
The Ancient One said with difficulty as if he was about to expire.
There's no need to pretend in front of me, right?
Luke The corners of his mouth twitched.
I thought to myself that Sorcerer Supreme was really into the drama and had to get a complete set. He was so dedicated.
"No matter what Mephisto wants to do, I will keep an eye on him."
The Ancient One said lightly.
The two most capable of causing trouble are Dimensional Demon God.
A Dormammu.
A Mephisto.
They are all a pain in the ass.
But it will be fine if you stay up for a while.
When Stephen-Strange takes over from Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One will be able to retire and leave after get off work.
The universe is so big and he wants to see it.
It would be too boring to be confined to this earth all the time.
"Since you are so optimistic about Strange, why not open more back doors for him."
Luke pretended to cooperate with the Ancient One's performance and helped him into the central hall.
"For example, could you tell us about the content of the next game?"
Considering this Sorcerer Supreme Tournament, there are indeed many strong players.
Strange If you are not lucky enough, you may lose the qualification and bid farewell to the fight.
The Ancient One glanced sideways at the other party, seeming a little annoyed.
Dangdang Sorcerer Supreme, do you look like the kind of person who refuses to pay off debts, misses work early, and engages in secret operations?
"I mean, it's reasonable for someone as upright and aboveboard as you to reveal some information to the appointed successor, right?"
Luke cleared his throat and said helplessly.
Sorcerer Supreme Lao Lai's name, who doesn't know about the many dimensions?
"Do you think I don't want to? If possible, I would like to directly decide on Strange and complete the handover on the same day."
Walking into the main hall and seeing no one around, the Ancient One finally told the truth.
"The selection of Sorcerer Supreme was not finalized by Kamar-Taj or me, but was personally selected by Vishanti."
"We are just bystanders who are releasing the news and waiting for the results."
Luke raised his eyebrows, not surprised.
He just asked casually, not expecting the Ancient One to actually open the back door.
All superheroes always have to experience setbacks and growth.
The road to Sorcerer Supreme from Strange is probably not going to be smooth.
"By the way, Ancient One, will anything big happen in the foreseeable future?"
Luke After chatting for a while and telling interesting stories about various universes, he was ready to leave.
Before stepping into the portal, he seemed to remember something and asked curiously.
The abnormal behavior of Loki, the genuine Thor who has never been masked so far, and Asgard who is in the fog...
All these make Luke feel vigilant.
"You know, Superman. If I tell you a certain future, then it is very likely that it will not happen again."
The Ancient One's vicissitudes of life lighted up slightly.
"If you notice something, then... follow your inner thoughts and don't doubt or waver."
Luke's expression remained unchanged, he nodded, and stepped into the transmission channel where magic sparks jumped and splashed.
What does the Ancient One's answer imply to him?
Is your guess correct?
Or...
"It's getting more and more confusing."
Luke stopped at Times Square, and the superheroes of the younger generation were scrolling on the big screen.
Avengers has long since withdrawn from the stage and disappeared behind the scenes.
"I hope I won't run into any big events like Celestials, Living Tribunal."
Luke put his hands in his pockets and disappeared into the crowd.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the remaining Thought Maggots in Strange's soul was almost completely digested.
The rotten stench of being disliked by others finally dissipated.
These days, Old Wang and Rocket Raccoon are unwilling to eat with Strange because they think it will affect their appetite.
"My heavy armor with magic resistance and the enchanted version of AK47-Fire Kirin should come in handy."
Strange is ambitious and wants to show off his talents.
Then, he touched his increasingly thinning hair, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.
In order to become stronger, in order to become Sorcerer Supreme, in order to protect the earth and maintain peace——
The price I paid was too heavy!
"Where is Superman?"
Looking around, I didn't see Luke, Strange was a little strange.
The other party seems to have not shown up for three days. Could it be that he is in some danger?
"Don't you know? He and the second most beautiful girl have been staying in the hotel the whole time and have never even left the room."
Rocket Raccoon curled his lips and classified both Luke and Thor into the ranks of "emphasis on sex over friends".
Could it be said that those long white legs and warm, thick and soft breasts are more important than teammates?
Rocket Raccoon, who is still single and has never met a suitable female, completely cannot understand why humans are interested in those bad women who are chattering, noisy and annoying.
"Groot is better."
Rocket Raccoon couldn't help but miss the tree man he raised.
"Three days... he is in really good health."
Strange showed a trace of envy in his eyes, even though most of the mages in this world were muscular men with strong bodies.
However, continuous output for three days and three nights...
This is no longer a matter of physical fitness, but requires an extremely powerful function of a certain organ.
"Don't spread rumors, little rabbit."
Luke's voice suddenly sounded, and the tall figure stepped out of the transmission channel.
"The relationship between me and the queen of Hell Border is very pure..."
Superman looked upright and said that he was not addicted to women and could not extricate himself.
"Besides, my main purpose is to get information for Stephen."
Luke patted Strange on the shoulder and said seriously, "Even if you sacrifice a little color, it's worth it."
"Next time you need to sacrifice your appearance, please let me take action."
Strange volunteered.
"You should continue to exercise at a high intensity and increase from one hundred push-ups to five hundred."
Luke glanced at the increasingly dangerous hairline and bulging muscles of the other party, and said with great relief, "Stephen, only sissies like cute and sexy soft girls. You should go to senior brother Mordo or Old Wang to have a competition."
Strange's expression was strange, and he felt that Luke's words had a deeper meaning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bell rang, interrupting everyone's chat.
The second promotion match began. Strange and Luke walked side by side and came to the wide square together.
"That is Mordo, Sorcerer Supreme's most trusted disciple."
Strange Seeing the dark-skinned and strong senior brother, a subtle emotion arose in his heart.
He was brought into Kamar-Taj by Mordo, and he also learned many basic knowledge and spells from him.
Personally, Strange admires the hard-working and talented senior brother.
Without the hint from the Ancient One, he would not have thought of running for Sorcerer Supreme.
"Three-level soul halo, tsk, this is already a legendary level."
Luke sighed with emotion.
Behind Mordo's head, there are three bright haloes invisible to the naked eye.
Those are his three contractors.
One of them is said to be the great sage Merlin.
With the support of powerful forces, Mordo broke through to the legendary level and became the most competitive participant in this battle for hegemony.
"What is the second test?"
Luke looked away and asked softly.
Facing a steady stream of Thought Maggots in the first game, the test is courage and persistence.
"Strength."
Strange holds the beacon in his hand and absorbs the information.
"This is a complete fight. Fourteen people, six people were eliminated first, and eight people were left."
