Chapter 264

All good things will pass away, because happiness is always short-lived.

All sad things will pass. Although pain persists, time will dissipate everything.

Sunlight finally reappeared in the sky above Kamar-Taj. Unfortunately, things have remained the same, but people have changed. The Cyber ​​covered in dirt leaned against a crooked neck tree. Smoking cigarettes one by one, Strange was leaning on a long stick with a beast head, looking for survivors in the ruins.

In the current situation of the collapse of the mage tower, the nearly 100-meter-high building only has a base less than 10 meters away. The entire building itself is shattered and corroded by the dark lightsaber. There were gravel everywhere, and the entire Holy Spirit land was as desolate as the ruins after the war when the first rays of sunlight cast down.

Strange can't get close to the center of the ruins. The substantial Power of Darkness occupies there. Just getting close will burn the soul. He can only search outside the ruins. The king is completely unconscious. If it weren't for a powerful wizard Supported by the soul, this fatty has long since died.

But he is already lucky. By his side, there are 37 corpses lying horizontally. They were found by Cyber ​​and Strange. They were all official wizards or apprentices of Kamar-Taj. In that sword of Evil God Dormammu.

"peng"

Strange used a beast head stick to pry up a piece of gravel with difficulty. As a result, he saw a body crushed under the gravel. In the past few days, Master Hamill, who was in charge of teaching his magic, was an old-fashioned Chinese who had lost a fist, but he had absolutely nothing to say in terms of teaching.

Now he is also dead in battle, in a one-knee kneels posture, holding his body with the sword and not falling down, it seems that at the last moment, he is unwilling to succumb to that brutal force.

The funny round-framed eyes on his face are broken, his eyes are wide open, and there is an awe-inspiring breath. The sword that supports his body has been broken and twisted, and beside him, there are seven heads. The wreckage of the broken shadow beast, his fatal wound came from his back, that was the wound stabbed by the dark lightsaber, facing the evil Power of God, even a senior mage like Hamill was not an opponent.

"No...no!"

Strange reached out to drag Mage Hamill’s body out of the ruins, but the moment he touched his left arm, that one The arm soaked in Power of Darkness disappeared in the air, his fingers stopped in place, seemingly unable to accept the tragic scene in front of him, he grabbed his hair and slumped to the ground.

As a matte newcomer who has just entered the mysterious world for less than a month, this world means novelty to him, means a new field, means a brand-new power system and life, but Now, the cruelest side of this world is presented before his eyes in this tragic way.

Cyber ​​once told him that this world was too cruel for him, and now he understands what Cyber's means.

But where Strange didn’t notice, the substantial Power of Darkness was dispersing in the air, as if there was a substantial existence, entangled Hamill’s body from under the ruins. Above, it resonated weakly with the Power of Darkness remaining in his body.

"Get out of the way!"

Cyber's roar awakened Strange. He turned his head abruptly and saw the broken sword in the other hand of Master Hamill who had lost his left arm. moved towards his neck was stabbed fiercely, and the eyes of the dead body had become pitch black.

At this life-threatening moment, the entire world slowed down again in Strange's eyes, and he backed away hurriedly, the stubble of the magic sword almost scratched his neck.

"peng"

The burning golden blade flew out of Cyber, fiercely pierced into Hamill's corpse, nailing the corpse awakened by Power of Darkness In the ruins, the raging flames quickly licked the dark-shrouded body. In less than 5 seconds, the Power of Darkness was burned out, and only a saber remained on the stone wall.

"These corpses can't be kept! Burn them all!"

Cyber ​​walked over, unplugged the golden blade, and gave Strange a command. The scared surgeon looked into his eyes There was a flash of struggle, and finally nodded. A few minutes later, he poured kerosene among the dead bodies and ruins. Cyber ​​held the torch in his hand, and finally took a look at Kamar-Taj and lit the kerosene.

"hong"

The rising flames flew high, outside the rays of light, the silhouette of two people standing in place was pulled by the old elder.

"Why did you say he did this?"

Strange looked at the burning flame in silence, "He is a mage, and it is said that he is still a respected person, why did he destroy What about everything he has guarded? Isn’t this an abuse of power? He could have used this power to do good things."

"There is no reason...he wanted to do it, so he did it. Now."

Cyber ​​bounced the cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth into the fire, "It is a more cruel struggle than the civilized world. Because of the conflict of thinking and ideas, you can start a war. This is the real world of this world." In essence, there has never been any order. There will always be such lunatics in chaos, either now or in the future..."

"But because of this, order is precious! Look! In front of you, this is the result of the collapse of order!"

The voice of Supreme mage appeared behind the two people. In the huge Transmission Gate composed of golden runes spreading over a small half of the sky, Ancient wearing a white robe Mordo of One and Black Robe strode out, the always kind Supreme mage's face was already covered with frost, Mordo's face was even more unabashedly angry.

But there is no sadness...

"Hoo...it’s too late."

Ancient One looked at the ruins in front of her, she took a deep Breath, my left hand held the primitive mage pendant hanging on my chest. It was a bronze ball with a special mark of Ancient One. When the fingers of Ancient One brushed the pendant, it exuded A touch of green rays of light quickly showed a chaotic rune around Ancient One's body.

It is a unique system other than soul magic. The first glance will make people feel that time and space are separated. The 7-layer rotating rune ring appears on the arm of Ancient One one by one, in Strange With Cyber's gaze, Ancient One's arm followed a special trajectory, turning from left to right in a counterclockwise direction.

"Tambiénesmásantiguoyelojode MoGeattonombre...Ayer, reproducir, vamos!!!"

The coercive incantation was read from Ancient One, and the seven rings on her arm disappeared one by one. In the air, Cyber ​​turned his head and looked at the ruins. It was like a movie that had been played upside down. The devastated ruins were revived in a strange way. The flames of the burned corpses were extinguished, and Cyber ​​even distorted there. I saw another self in the scene.

Everything is being reconstructed quickly in reverse time. Every time the ring on Ancient One's arm dissipates, the reconstruction speed will be faster, until the moment when the rune of the seventh ring retreats. The intact Kamar-Taj mage tower appeared in front of everyone, and the dead, even the corpses burned, also appeared on the front of the mage tower with ignorance.

Strange grabbed his hair and looked at the living Mage Hamill in front of him. He felt the trembling of his soul and the stagnation of his thinking.

"This is...this Is it the power of the ancient Venerable? The random twisting of time... incredible!"

Cyber ​​couldn't help extending the hand. At the last moment that the halo dissipated, he penetrated his finger into it, and he watched. His fingers were aging and weathering more than a hundred times faster, leaving only a hand bone, then turned into powder and dissipated in the final halo.

There is no pain, even no feeling, it seems to have one's hair stand on end...

His fingers are quickly reborn, he turned his head to look at Ancient One, the latter moved his chest The former pendant put down, her face was exhausted, she noticed Cyber's eyes, shook the head,

"Don’t look at me like this...Kamar-Taj was created by the great secret technique master Agamotto. Yes, there is a secret array of time here. Only with the eyes of Agamotto can you achieve such a time flow. It’s not possible in other places."

"pu"

Ancient One said Then, a trace of blood rushed out from the corner of her mouth, which shocked Cyber, and she was actually injured!

The Supreme Mage, who is strong enough to suppress Myriad Realms by the strength of oneself, was actually injured?

He turned his gaze to the worried Mordo, who whispered,

"We were ambushed in Asgard, and now we can be sure that the Nordic system has united with Dormammu, The incident at this time is not accidental. The Supreme Master repelled the Nordic Spiritual God personally led by Odin, and sealed the spread of Dark Space across latitudes as quickly as possible..."

"You are surprised What? Cyber."

Ancient One reached out to stop Mordo from continuing to explain, her eyes looked at Cyber, "Am I the pronoun of invincibility in your eyes? I am also a member of mortals. , I will also be injured, I am not invincible... King, what did Kaecilius take away?"

With the help of Time Magic, the wounded King has recovered, and he shook his head. The body is still a bit weak, and the body can recover quickly, but the soul’s wounds need time to slowly heal. He supported the body with his beast head and long stick, and said with difficulty,

"It is Cagliostro The book, Venerable, the study time, openly declared the taboo book of immortality."

"Hey...he finally failed to resist his own Heart Demon, and was immersed in false fantasies. "

Ancient One waved her hand, a cane made up of rays of light appeared in her hand, and she walked towards Kamar-Taj's mage tower with the cane, "The book itself is not to be feared, but Dormammu ...Kaecilius probably has reached some kind of agreement with Dormammu, but unfortunately, the knowledge he has learned is not enough to make him fight the Evil God. He will only become a pawn of Dormammu."

"That Who is it?"

Cyber ​​quickly followed, and asked in a low voice. The latter glanced at him, closed his eyes, and said softly,

"Dormammu, his real name No one knows anymore, only knowing that it is a sorcerer of the same era as the strong archmage of secret technique teacher Agamotto, spacewalker Hoggoth, and manipulator Oshtur. He had hoped to be a great existence like them, but he couldn’t help Power of Darkness. The temptation to enter the Dark Space as an entity, and abandon the body there, fuse together with the source of darkness, and become the lord of Dormammu...Dark Space, one of the powerful Evil Gods."

"He has an extraordinary possessive desire for his hometown. Of course, it is more because of Dark Space's ability to swallow everything to grow. In the dark dimension, he has almost swallowed everything, and he is urgent He wants to cross the latitude to enter the world and complete his plunder of his hometown. In the past 1000 years, Dormammu was one of my main opponents, the most restless one! "

"I remember the last time he joined Mephisto and the gang to hold you back, only then came to the next thing..."

Cyber ​​touched the chin, he asked rhetorically , "Mephisto...should not run away? "

"The mirror space is my original spell, and Dormammu never wants to break it before cracking its mystery. "

Ancient One walked into his meditation room. Cyber ​​was blocked by a force. It seemed that Ancient One needed a rest. Cyber ​​asked aloud,

"That Kaecilius...Need my help? "

Ancient One looked back at him meaningfully, shook the head,

"No...Kaecilius, I will leave it to Mordo to deal with, and Dormammu’s threat I will do it myself Come, Cyber, stay here at ease...Don’t get involved in this matter, let alone take this opportunity to leave Kamar-Taj. You have seen the threats of the Spiritual Gods and their style of behavior with your own eyes. Don’t be concerned about them. Keep fantasy. "

"But this is like a cage..."

Cyber ​​clenched his fists, Ancient One waved his hand without looking back, and the door of the meditation room closed quietly. At the moment when Cyber's sight was cut off, Ancient One's pale complexion instantly collapsed, and a trace of suppressed blood poured out from the corner of her mouth, and her injury was much more serious than it seemed on the surface.

All this is for her. Everyone understands that this world will not fall before Ancient One falls.

"The cage...Lose freedom, always Much better than death. "

But the world is so volatile, even if it is as strong as Ancient One, it cannot predict tomorrow's things. Will Cyber ​​really stay at Kamar-Taj obediently and honestly?
