Chapter 1136: The Strength of the Temple Guardians

"Haha!" Strange held his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly, then gave Aaron a thumbs up, "You are amazing, this is too fucking mean!"

"Mr. Stephen Strange, you must understand that all gifts from fate come with a hidden price tag.

I healed your hands, let you confess your love to the girl you had a crush on, and gave you the opportunity to learn magic and understand the universe, and now you plan to just walk away.

Ask yourself, do you think this is appropriate? Is this reasonable? "

"Let me correct you. I'm not planning to just walk away." Strange said immediately, "I'm not planning to be a deserter. I just don't want to die in vain."

"I'm...too weak."

"Someone said before that he felt terribly strong!"

"I was wrong. I take back my ignorant words." Strange said resolutely, then sighed helplessly, "I can wave the flag and shout in the mysterious war."

"We don't lack cheerleaders." Wang said unhappily, "and we don't need cheerleaders."

“This is a metaphor, okay?

I mean I can do the same things as most magicians.

Even I can charge in and do the same thing as you and Mordo.

But I can't..." Strange thought for a while, and pointed to the model of the earth swallowed by darkness above his head with confusion, "I can't handle this.

I don't know how the Ancient One resisted Dormammu, but any magic I know wouldn't even make a splash."

"Well...when the time comes, perhaps fate will give us a hint."

"Don't even mention hinting at it, even stating it explicitly is not acceptable!

I am not you, my magic..." Strange paused halfway through his words, then looked at Aaron meaningfully, "You are much more powerful than us, even the Sorcerer Supreme admires you.

If it were you, you should be able to fight against the dark dimension!"

"Tsk!" Aaron curled his lips in disdain and sneered: "If you think so, then I can only say that you think too much."

"I admit that I do have the ability to face Dormammu, but I can't defeat him."

"It's fine even if we can tie!"

"Not even a bit." Aaron said bluntly, "There are many powerful people in this universe who have ill will towards Gaius. The reason why I can talk to you all here is entirely because I am low-key enough.

I will not use my magical abilities unless necessary."

"But if I face Dormammu, I will have to do everything I can to deal with him.

But in this way, my battle with him will be the brightest beacon in the entire multiverse, pointing the way for all of Gaius's enemies, including some who are more powerful than Dormammu. "

"When that happens, not only will I get myself into trouble, but I will also attract a group of vicious wolves to the earth."

Gulu!

Strange couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "So that's why you're betting on me?"

“No, no, no, don’t misunderstand.

You are not that important to me, and even the earth is not that important to me."

"What?"

Strange was shocked, and Mordo and Wang looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Don't make such a fuss. Although I won't face Dormammu directly, I will protect the Earth in other ways to the best of my ability.

If we can win this magic war, everyone will be happy, but if we lose..." Aaron paused and smiled embarrassedly, "I can always run away with the bucket."

"How can you say such shameless words so confidently?" Wang asked in disbelief.

"Hey, hey, hey! My hometown is far away in the multiverse, and the Earth in this universe is only somewhat similar to it.

To put it bluntly, I have no responsibility or obligation to protect this earth.

If you can defend it, defend it. If you can't defend it, run away. Isn't this natural?"

"But...where can you run to?" asked Strange.

Snapped!

Aaron snapped his fingers, and the entire hall was instantly covered by a layer of illusion.

Luxurious palaces, prosperous cities, a natural environment without any industrial waste gas, and a relatively stable and peaceful order appeared so smoothly before their eyes.

"Did you see it?" Aaron removed the illusion and asked meaningfully.

"What...are those?"

"My territory in the universe." Aaron shrugged and said as a matter of course, "It seems to be well governed at the moment."

Strange and the other two looked at each other and felt the strong atmosphere of Versailles.

You call this good, but isn't that too much to ask?

“As you can see, even if the earth is destroyed, the worst that can happen to me is to change my environment.

With my ability, it would only take a portal to pack up my people and take them away. I can escape unscathed in a minute, but you..." Aaron looked at Strange with interest, "You must have someone you are worried about, right?"

Strange's expression froze, and he subconsciously murmured, "Christine."

"Bingo!" Aaron patted his shoulder, "It's not without reason that my former principal believed that love is the greatest power in the world.

Stephen Strange, sometimes you have to push yourself."

"Hahaha!" Strange laughed in silence. He suddenly felt that he had fallen into a bottomless pit since the day he went to Aaron to treat his hands.

But now that things have come to this, he has no choice at all.

He finally healed his hands and successfully confessed his love to Christine. A bright future was already beckoning him. Letting him return to hell at this time would be more painful than killing him.

What's worse is that there is a possibility that Christine will be implicated, which is something he cannot accept in any way.

"I, what should I do?" Strange opened his mouth and asked with forced calmness: "Even if you say that I am the main force facing the dark dimension, I know very well that I am no match for Dormammu."

"how could I know?"

"Aha?"

"Just let it be! Then maybe you'll know what you should do."

Strange: Could you be a little more perfunctory?

when!when!when!

The alarm bell suddenly rang, and Wang immediately looked up, "London Temple."

Just as he finished speaking, the portal connecting to the London Temple suddenly opened, and a wizard ran over in panic, but as soon as he reached the portal, a transparent blade pierced his body from behind.

"Casillas." Mordo looked at the portal in astonishment.

Casillas and another mage raised their hands high. Their eyes seemed to be rendered in darkness. The entire eye sockets were thick black. Even the upper half of their faces turned dark gray, with only a few bright red spots distributed around their eyeballs like sparks.

A huge ball of yellow energy was spinning wildly above their heads, attracting a large amount of matter to gather.

"No!"

As if he had completed the pre-casting motion, Casillas slammed his palm heavily on the ground.

A yellow ball of energy then fell, and a violent explosion rang out in the temple. The impact of energy passed through the portal and blasted towards Strange and others.

boom!

Strange, who was closest, was hit first and was blown away, and by chance he crashed into the portal of the New York Temple.

King, Mordo was also caught off guard and blown away by the aftermath of the explosion, while Aaron Apparated at the moment the shock wave reached him and returned to his tent.

"It starts from here." Aaron took a deep breath, poured himself a glass of wine, and sipped it casually.

As for Strange... he believed that Strange would not die in confusion, and Ancient One would definitely not let him die.

"Yes! It starts from here." Gu Yi's voice sounded from one side.

puff!

Aaron directly sprayed out the half-drunk red wine, "Master Ancient One, it is a bit rude to trespass without the master's permission!"

Ancient One shrugged indifferently, opened a portal and took out a cup of steaming tea, "I think Gaius won't care too much about a dying man like me!"

Aaron:......

Damn! Is this the confidence that comes from dying?

"Master Ancient One, you didn't come here just to say hello to me, did you?"

"I would like to ask you to protect Stephen Strange, today." Ancient One sipped his tea carefully. "He is too young now, and accidents are bound to happen during his rapid growth."

"Haha!" Aaron laughed disdainfully, "There's no need to look for me. You should be able to ensure his safety. The Time Stone can observe the future."

"But the Time Stone is not with me now."

Aaron rolled his eyes. He believed that if Ancient One wanted to get the Time Stone back, it would only take a few minutes.

"Haha! Master Ancient One, I came here to resist threats other than the dark dimension, which has already put me at great risk.

Strange's condition is your concern, I'm not here to babysit."

Gu Yi pondered for a moment, put down the teacup, and said, "Just make sure he doesn't die.

I have watched the future countless times, and today was the closest Strange has ever been to death."

"Hmm!" Aaron did not comment. "We are all going to face Dormammu. If he doesn't die, who will die?"

"It's not Dormammu, it's Dormammu's followers."

"You want me to ensure his safety before he faces Dormammu? So that he doesn't lose his life due to some extremely unlikely event?"

"This won't be difficult for you."

“He has to face Dormammu, and I have to face the wolf-like and ferocious dimensional demons, as well as the demons from hell that may invade the human world at any time.

Master Ancient One, you know my mission is no easier than his."

Seeing Aaron still refused, Ancient One did not get angry, but looked at him seriously and said: "Stephen cannot die, otherwise he will become Odin when facing Dormammu."

Aaron's pupils dilated slightly, and he thought to himself "MMP" but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Threat, naked threat!

The reason why he cared about this kind of thing was just to let Odin live two more days!

"Haha! Actually, I don't want him to die either." Aaron said with a forced smile, "Master Ancient One, don't worry.

At the critical moment, I will take action."

"Thank you."

"But I want to ask, you should be able to do this job, right?"

“There’s a lot more to do besides Strange.

I want to make sure that other aspects are consistent with the future I see, or before I die, I will relieve you of some pressure." Gu Yi sighed heavily, then waved his hand to open a portal and walked in.

Aaron watched her leave, then took out a humanoid sculpture in the same proportion as Ancient One from his space ring.

"When she dies, it will be your turn to shine."

Aaron chuckled, and then asked the Black Shadow Ninja to bring a mirror and use mirror projection to observe Strange's current situation.

......

117A Brick Street

Strange searched the unfamiliar New York temple but couldn't find a wizard. At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange noise downstairs, and immediately hid behind the corridor and observed carefully.

The ground, walls, doors and windows on the first floor retreated and folded like a conveyor belt. The mages guarding the temple couldn't help but step back when they saw this scene.

"Daniel." Kaslias strode in with two Dormammu followers, a man and a woman, "They appointed you as the mage of this temple!"

"Do you know what that means?" Daniel asked in a deep voice, holding the staff.

"You will die protecting it."

Casillas clasped his palms together, then slowly separated them to produce a transparent long blade. The other two believers also produced the same weapons.

The next moment, the female believer took the lead in attacking. The transparent long blade was blocked by the staff, and a transparent crystal full of thorns bloomed in mid-air.

The male believers immediately joined in, swinging their long blades and attacking from the side.

Daniel calmly raised his staff, blocked the long blade and pushed hard, hitting him in the face with the end of the staff.

Then Daniel turned around quickly and kept waving the magic weapon in his hand, knocking the female believer to the ground.

At this time, the male believer rushed up again, squatted down to avoid Daniel's horizontal slash, and stabbed the long blade in his hand into his thigh.

puff!

A large amount of blood was spilled, and Daniel fell to his knees on the ground screaming in pain.

“Bang!” Aaron, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn’t help but slap his forehead. “The mages guarding the temple are at this level. No wonder the London Temple was lost.”

Kamar-Taj is really specialized in training melee mages, but this melee level is only good enough to defeat one person, if there is one more, he will be dead!

Casillas looked at Daniel expressionlessly and ruthlessly stabbed the long blade in his hand into his chest.

"Stop." Strange couldn't help but shout, but he could only watch Daniel scream miserably.

"Fuck! Why are you jumping out at this time? Are you trying to show off your presence?" Aaron looked at Strange in the mirror speechlessly. He felt that the task assigned to him by Ancient One was much more difficult than he thought.

Strange has a sense of justice, there is no doubt about that.

But at least you should know your own weight. It's hard to fight one against one, let alone one against three, including Casillas, a small villain boss.

It is no exaggeration to say that Casillas is now Dormammu's spokesperson in the real world. There is no need for him to be so aggressive in giving away kills!
