Chapter 145: Ancient One's Departure

The quicksand spread towards the substitute first, followed by the flames and shadows.

The substitute, who was standing there trembling, looked at the attack so close, but a hint of success appeared in his eyes.

As its body glowed with brilliance, the substitute disappeared, and Su Heng, who was observing the battle from behind, saw a flash in his eyes. When he reacted, he found that he had exchanged positions with the substitute.

The substitute looked at Su Heng, who was overwhelmed by three different types of attacks, with pride, and his body began to slowly disappear in the place.

"Time!"

But Su Heng's voice suddenly came from behind the substitute. Surrounded by quicksand, flames and shadows, a ray of light shot up into the sky.

The light dissipated, and an old man in a cloak holding an hourglass appeared above the rooftop.

The old man turned the hourglass in his hand upside down, but the gravel in the hourglass that should have flowed down was still at this moment.

The substitute, who originally wanted to disappear in the place, also paused his next move as the gravel stopped.

The yellow sand, shadows, and flames faded, revealing Su Heng who was unharmed in the encirclement.

Su Heng took the sword card and slowly walked to the motionless substitute card.

"Finally, this farce can be ended." Su Heng took a breath and raised the sword card high.

"Here, seal it!"

As the light appeared again at the tip of the sword, the substitute card turned into a Clow Card and flew back to Su Heng's hand.

As Su Heng subdued the substitute card, people who had replaced each other's bodies in various places in New York began to return to normal.

"The Daily Bugle International News."

In the studio of the Daily Bugle, Clark, who had become Louise, was reading the international news in his hand seriously.

"A serious explosion occurred at a religious site in London, England. However, according to the report of the reporter of the Daily Bugle in London, the survivors of the explosion suffered more man-made injuries in addition to the burns and injuries caused by the explosion."

"The London police are currently investigating the matter. I hope that this matter will stop here and there will be no other such incidents."

"Next." Louise, who was originally sitting outside the studio, blinked her eyes. After just a moment of daze, she returned to the studio from outside. She sat on the chair and looked at the scene in the studio, with a little confusion in her eyes.

"Clark, what are you daydreaming about?" The boss Jameson's voice came out of Louise's headphones.

"Keep reading according to the script!"

"Clark?" Louise lowered her head and looked at the plump figure that belonged to her. The expression on her face was very surprised.

"Oh thank you! Finally it's back!"

Louise jumped up from her seat excitedly and burst out a swear word excitedly.

"Damn it, turn off the external channel!" Jameson outside the studio looked at Louise who suddenly started to go crazy, and quickly directed the central control staff outside the studio.

"Sir, you violated the traffic rules."

Sheriff Stacy, who was originally issuing tickets to people on the roadside, was also like this.

Sheriff Stacy was writing and drawing on the ticket just now, but in the blink of an eye, she returned home, and the kitchen knife in her hand accidentally cut her finger.

"Oh, Helen!" Sheriff Stacy looked at herself who had changed back, as if she suddenly remembered something, and had no time to pay attention to the cut finger. She quickly put down the kitchen knife and rushed out the door.

In the center of the pet wholesale market, the chaos returned to calm, and the cute little rabbit that bit humans tightly let go of its mouth in confusion.

In the elevator to the rooftop, Su Heng's eyes gradually regained clarity, looking at Pepper who was covering her forehead.

"Where is this?" Pepper looked at the elevator going up in confusion, then turned his gaze to Su Heng.

"Su Heng? Why are you here?"

"It seems that everyone should have recovered." Su Heng nodded to Pepper.

"Oh no, my meeting!" After hearing Su Heng's reminder, Pepper finally reacted and quickly took out his mobile phone from his arms.

"Damn, why is there no signal in this elevator!" Pepper stomped his feet in anger.

"Meeting?" Su Heng looked at Pepper in confusion: "It's just a meeting. Can't Tony have a meeting?"

"According to Tony's temperament, he will not reason with the directors of the board of directors. You know, Stark Group is in a period of transformation. If Tony and the directors fail to reach an agreement, the subsequent transformation process will only become more and more difficult."

Pepper looked at the elevator that was about to reach the top floor, and frantically pressed the elevator door opening button, trying to speed up the elevator door opening speed.

Ding——

As the elevator door opened, Gwen outside the elevator door flexibly dodged Pepper who hurried out of the elevator with her mobile phone.

"So this is Ms. Pepper?" Gwen returned the Clow Card in her hand to Su Heng, turned around and looked at Pepper who started to make a phone call, and asked Su Heng in confusion.

"Yeah." Su Heng took the Clow Card handed by Gwen back into his body and said with a smile.

"It seems that because Pepper was having a very important meeting just now, she was a little worried that Tony would ruin the meeting."

"Well, according to Mr. Stark's personality, if he is not interested in the content, he might really quit directly."

Gwen nodded with deep understanding.

"Hey, listen Tony!" On the rooftop, Pepper suppressed his anger: "You stay in the meeting room now, you are not allowed to go anywhere, but don't express your opinions casually!"

"Also, turn on your loudspeaker. Before I come back, I will talk to the directors on the way to discuss the next plan strategy through voice chat!"

It can only be said that Tony is worthy of it. Just after returning to his body, he completely angered all the directors in the meeting room with his unique personality charm.

As a result, Pepper can only helplessly appease the directors who almost left the meeting angrily on the phone.

"Sorry, I need a few minutes to take the elevator downstairs, so please wait for me for a few minutes." Pepper walked towards the elevator.

"Do you want to go down together?" Pepper covered the microphone of the mobile phone and asked Su Heng and Gwen.

"Of course!" Gwen and Su Heng followed Pepper and walked into the elevator together.

Boom!!!

But before Pepper pressed the button for the first floor, a deafening explosion suddenly came from outside the elevator.

Su Heng felt the shaking elevator and frowned, and put his hands on Gwen and Pepper's shoulders.

The three figures disappeared in the elevator in an instant, and when they reappeared, they were already downstairs in the pet wholesale market.

"Oh my God!" Pepper looked at the glass shaking in the explosion and the heat wave coming from afar, and murmured in a low voice with some shock: "What happened?"

"Manager." Gwen turned her head and looked at Su Heng with a certain emotion on his face.

"It's okay." Su Heng shook his head and said to Pepper beside him: "The explosion has just passed, there should be no danger. If you want to go back to Stark Tower to work, now is the best time."

"Is there really no danger?" Pepper patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Of course." Su Heng smiled: "If you are worried, you can ask Tony to pick you up in armor. I think he should be very willing to do so."

"Forget it." Pepper frowned: "It's better for me to drive back by myself than to be carried in the sky by Tony in armor."

"Then I'll say goodbye first." Pepper waved to Su Heng and Gwen, and trotted towards the direction of the sports car.

It can be seen that she is really worried about the failure of this meeting.

"Gwen." Su Heng shouted to Gwen.

"Huh? What's wrong, manager." Gwen looked at Su Heng in confusion.

"You go back first." Su Heng looked at the place where the explosion came from, and said with some emotion: "I still have something to do."

"Okay." Gwen looked at Su Heng's look that seemed to be very touched, and nodded without knowing why.

Once upon a time, Agamotto built three powerful Sanctuaries in Hong Kong, London, and New York. These three Sanctuaries formed a powerful protective shield around the entire earth to protect the world from outsiders.

And the duty of the mages is to protect the Sanctuary from being destroyed.

Now, because Kamar-Taj's mage Kaecilius was bewitched by Dormammu, the ruler of the dark dimension, he stole the Book of Cagliostro and rebelled against Kamar-Taj.

And led the equally bewitched mages to try to destroy the three Sanctuaries to welcome Dormammu's arrival.

Although the mages guarding the Sanctuary fought desperately, they were always defeated by Kaecilius who had absorbed the power of the dark dimension.

In the defense of the Sanctuary, the mages of Kamar-Taj not only lost the two Sanctuaries in London and New York, but also lost the great Supreme Mage, Master Ancient One, in the defense of the Sanctuary in New York.

"Master, you need to return to your own body as soon as possible."

In the hospital, Strange's soul left his body, chasing the soul of Master Ancient One that was constantly floating after leaving his body.

"If you don't hurry up, you will have no time."

"Strange, time is relative." Master Ancient One's soul stopped at the edge of a balcony, quietly looking at the sky outside the window.

"You know? I have spent a lot of time peeking into the future, and have prevented countless terrible events from happening, but unfortunately, bad things always come one after another."

"Ask you a question." Master Ancient One smiled and looked at Strange: "Do you want to know your own future?"

"No." Strange looked at Ancient One with a strange look on his face and shook his head slowly.

"Oh?"

"Okay, I think." Strange finally admitted his own thoughts.

"You know what? I can't see your future." Ancient One said slowly: "I can only see various possibilities."

"You are a kind person by nature. The reason why you stand out is not because you desire success, but because you are afraid of failure."

"You should know that this is not a good thing." Master Ancient One looked at Strange deeply: "Fear of failure will only make you ignorant of the simplest, but also the most important things."

"." Strange looked at Master Ancient One silently: "So what are you talking about?"

"The meaning of life is not in self," Master Ancient One said lightly: "but in dedication."

"My departure is not necessarily a bad thing." The Ancient One continued in a low voice: "Sometimes the mountains are too high, which will only block the view of climbers and make them daunting."

"The potential of the mages of Kamar-Taj should not be just like this. They can become greater people, but because of my existence, they have lost the motivation to progress."

"Only my departure can inspire them to move forward, so that they will not stop at the previous muddleheadedness."

"But." Strange opened his mouth: "If you leave, what will happen to Dormammu and Kaecilius?"

"Aren't you still here?" The Ancient One patted Strange on the shoulder: "And the king, and Mordo."

"I believe that with your concerted efforts, you will be able to thwart Dormammu's conspiracy and protect this world well."

"." Strange looked at the Ancient One's soul that began to dissipate after he finished speaking, and his heart was filled with grief.

Although he had not had much contact with the Ancient One, he still had great respect for the elder.

Strange suppressed his grief and headed back to where his body was.

He knew that this was not the time to be sad alone, after all, the big trouble of Casillas was still waiting for him to solve.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

As Strange left, Su Heng's amazed voice began to sound on the balcony.

"Is it really okay for you to fool him like this?"

As Su Heng asked, the dissipated soul of the Ancient One began to gather again.

"I didn't fool him." The Ancient One turned around and looked at the disappeared Strange with a slight smile on his face.

"After all, I am really dead now."

Su Heng floated outside the balcony, looking at the Ancient One in soul state, and asked curiously.

"So you really trust Strange? After all, although he is gifted, he doesn't seem to have practiced magic for a long time, right?"

"Don't use a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you use."

"Since I chose him, why should I doubt him?" Master Gu Yi looked at Su Heng.

"Besides, if he can't stand it anymore, don't you still have him?"

"Me?" Su Heng shook his head frantically: "I can't beat that lord of the dark dimension."

Master Gu Yi looked at Su Heng's face full of resistance, and his mind couldn't help but recall the two ladies of light and darkness that he met at the beginning.

He smiled softly.

"Can't beat? That's not necessarily true"
