Chapter 97 / Chapter 98

But...

After experiencing the effects of time reversal three times in a row and fully recovering from her injuries, the Ancient One realized that the other person's body was actually rejecting the power of time.

Damn it!

She felt increasingly mentally exhausted.

The Ancient One is no longer the young and powerful woman she once was.

She was just a mortal, nearing the end of her lifespan, and it wouldn't be long before she left this world.

Just now, she even reversed the defeat of the other two great temples, which caused her to expend a great deal of energy.

The fatigue accumulated from repeatedly using the Time Stone is difficult to erase.

Not good!!

The opponent didn't give the opponent a single chance to rest or breathe.

Boom!!

Su Chen, who had suddenly attacked, unleashed another punch.

Before she could teleport, the Ancient One was once again blasted away, crashing to the ground like a meteorite.

Click!!

At that moment, the Mirror Dimension that had been constructed around them collapsed and could no longer be maintained. With the mirrors shattered, everyone returned to the real world.

It was still that same city in ruins.

The multiple battles within the Mirror Dimension had no impact on the real world.

At this moment, the Ancient One lay on the ground, spitting blood, the light emanating from the Eye of Agamotto on her neck growing dimmer.

Puff!

She coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"Sorcerer Supreme!"

The gasps of surprise around them revealed the anxiety of the group of monks.

Upon sensing the overwhelming killing intent, the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, could no longer suppress the dark power accumulating within her.

In an instant, her injuries healed, and her energy and spirit returned to an even more peak state than during the battle.

"This..."

But this scene terrified the surrounding temple mages.

"No, this can't be!"

Everyone even felt their worldview crumbling, staring at Ancient One with disbelief on their faces.

Su Chen was also stunned for a moment, and a cold, mocking look appeared on his usually indifferent face.

"So you're a Guardians of Earth? I never imagined you were such a hypocrite. Tell everyone why the Sorcerer Supreme still possesses Dormammu's power."

Chapter 97

Su Chen watched the scene unfold with interest.

The mighty Guardians of Earth.

The Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj.

The Ancient One, who spent her entire life teaching Templar sorcerers to fight Dormammu and prevent the Dark Dimension's demons from completely descending upon Earth, was actually devouring the dark power belonging to Dormammu.

Um...

This is absolutely stunning.

This is like someone's veil being completely removed, revealing the face of an enemy.

A mocking smile appeared on Su Chen's cold and indifferent face.

"And you dare to criticize me with such high-sounding words."

"It seems even you, this saint who stands on moral high ground, aren't entirely clean."

"The enemy that Kamar-Taj has been fighting against for generations is Dormammu, the demon god of the Dark Dimension, but the leader who opposes all of this is absorbing Dormammu's power."

Having already invaded the mage's Mind Stone not long ago and having read a great deal of knowledge, Su Chen directly pointed it out.

He laughed.

At this moment, Su Chen truly felt a sense of joy.

Yes, it was pleasant.

A person who was just criticizing from a moral high ground has had his mask torn off, his persona collapsed, and he has gradually become a hypocrite in everyone's eyes. This made Su Chen feel extremely comfortable.

"If I remember correctly, the reason Kaecilius betrayed Kamar-Taj was because he discovered that you were unwilling to teach how to become stronger."

"Your once most prized disciple has discovered that you are secretly absorbing dark energy."

"Perhaps at that moment, he realized that the way to become stronger was to join Dormammu's side."

Su Chen began to finish off the enemy.

This is not him spouting baseless nonsense.

After all, Kaecilius had previously made some confident statements to the other temple mages.

Based on the information at hand, we can deduce some of it.

Wow!!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and an uproar ensued.

Enraged, bewildered, confused, bewildered...

"This...~."

"Is it true, Ancient One?"

The group of Temple wizards stared at the once beloved Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, with utter bewilderment.

"Wait a minute! Sorcerer Supreme, how could you absorb Dormammu's power?"

"Exactly, isn't this behavior the same as that of the Dormammu followers?"

"Even if you have your reasons, the power of the Dark Dimension is extremely distorting to the human heart and will. Sooner or later, you will be completely devoured by Dormammu's power."

"That's impossible! Tell everyone, you didn't devour the power of darkness."

Words rose and fell in succession.

Under the influence of the dark energy absorbed within her body, the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, was in excellent condition. Even her pale complexion had completely improved, and her overall energy and spirit were much better than before the battle.

But at this moment, he faced criticism, incomprehension, and angry accusations from all around him.

The Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, however, had a dark expression.

It's true.

Her words immediately disappointed many of the temple mages who still held some hope in their hearts.

Even Baron Mordo, who always adhered to the principles of Kamar-Taj and believed in following the natural order, clenched his fists.

"Impossible!"

The more reverence he had in the past, the angrier Mordo was at this moment.

He had also realized why the Ancient One did what she did.

"Is it to prolong your human life? After all, a mortal can't live that long. Even the so-called gods of Earth have their day of decay. So you're using Dormammu's power to extend your life indefinitely?"

Baron Mordo was furious.

"Yes."

Ancient One sighed helplessly; the Sorcerer Supreme appeared utterly dejected at this moment.

Despite her usual kindness and gentleness, she decided to give everyone an explanation.

"My lifespan is running out, so I have to rely on external forces. It's all to continue protecting Kamar-Taj and this Earth."

That was her original intention.

As Guardians of the Earth, she did indeed feel a pang of longing, wanting to try and live a little longer in the final moments of her life.

Of course, another reason she couldn't say directly was the issue of her future successor.

Kaecilius was once her most prized disciple, but he fell into a dark abyss from which he could not extricate himself.

Baron Mordo, however, was stubborn, old-fashioned, inflexible, and lacked adaptability.

None of them are qualified to be the future Sorcerer Supreme.

The Inheritors she was looking for was still working as a surgeon in a hospital, and his opportunity had not yet arrived at the right time.

So...

She wants to live longer.

"That's too risky, Sorcerer Supreme. You're playing with fire."

"That's right. One after another, people have devoured the power of darkness, all believing they have mastered Dormammu's power, but in the end, none of them escaped having their Mind Stone corrupted and their will twisted."

"This completely contradicts the beliefs that teach us."

Many monks shook their heads and sighed, feeling deeply disappointed.

Some people even considered leaving.

At that moment, everyone felt that the pillar supporting them had completely collapsed.

Compared to the Dormammu followers who blindly worshipped him, their feelings towards the Ancient One, while not quite as devout, were still one of deep gratitude, respect, and reverence.

But now, some people inevitably have developed a rift in their hearts and find it difficult to accept this reason.

Su Chen stood there with his arms crossed, watching with interest as they were abandoned by everyone.

Seeing the Earth Guardians's persona crumble and his inner turmoil and pain, he genuinely felt a sense of pleasure.

After all, it's astonishing that such a highly respected and Sorcerer Supreme, who was just standing on moral high ground criticizing himself for arbitrarily altering reality, could suddenly have his image shattered.

He actually thought it was a pretty good experience.

"So you have the nerve to accuse me of altering reality?"

Su Chen stepped forward at this moment.

A mocking smile appeared on his cold, indifferent face as he said, "Now I can fully suspect that your Mind Stone has been completely corrupted by Dormammu's will."

"So, for the safety of the entire planet, for the safety of all humanity, for the safety of your Kamar-Taj, and even for the integrity of Earth's magic circle, you should either expel yourself from Earth."

These words were spoken with great righteousness and awe.

Full of justice.

They went even further, directly criticizing their opponents from a moral high ground.

Su Chen's cold words were like blades piercing the heart of the Ancient One.

"You..."

The Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One's face darkened with anger, and he immediately realized that the other party was mocking and ridiculing his behavior.

"Damn bastard..."

At the same time, Baron Mordo was also furious, because he naturally understood the hidden meaning in the other party's words.

After all, he had previously suspected that the other party was possessed by an evil god, and for the safety of the earth, he wanted to completely eliminate the other party, so he led a group of mages to ambush them.

Su Chen's words now indeed perfectly match the arrogant style of the people in front of him. (A shill)
