Chapter 168 Quickly Contact Huaxia Just as Strange excitedly accused Ancient One of being a liar, Ancient One suddenly attacked and blasted his soul out of his body. Strange saw a world he had never seen before - the soul world. He felt an experience beyond the five senses of the body. Then in an instant his soul returned to the body. "What did you do to me?" Strange asked in panic. "It just allows you to feel this world with your soul." Gu Yi explained with a smile. Although Strange suspected that the tea was spiked with Ecstasy or a neurotoxin, the Ancient One told him that it was just ordinary tea with some honey. "You are too ignorant and you have seen too little." said Gu Yi. "Open your eyes." She placed her hands over Strange's eyes, and his whole world turned upside down. In an instant, he seemed to be thousands of feet high in the sky.
"No, this is impossible..." He wailed. "What on earth did I see!" His consciousness seemed to float out of the planet. A butterfly fluttered into his sight, and out of curiosity he touched it gently. In an instant, he was drawn into a colorful and bizarre passage and flew through it at a high speed. "His heartbeat was skyrocketing and his body couldn't hold on any longer." Mordo observed Strange's physical condition and reported to the Ancient One. "Boom..." Strange gasped and fell into a chair, his heart filled with astonishment. He had just returned from that strange passage. "I think he's in good shape." The Ancient One studied Strange with a smile. Strange had no chance to catch his breath as he was dragged through multiple worlds. A vast planet. Space debris all over the sky. Time and space seemed to lose their constraints. "Do you think that material space is all there is? What is real? What is illusion?" “In reality, the spiritual meets the material.”
"The world we see is only a tiny part of the infinite universe." “The world is infinite, with both beauty and ugliness.” "In the dark corners, there are savage forces waiting for their chance to devour everything." "Who are you, then, Mr. Strange?" "what……" Strange came back to reality and fell heavily to the floor. He was convinced. He admitted his ignorance and believed in the existence of soul and spiritual power. This gave him hope. "Please teach me." Strange pleaded. boom…… Strange is locked out, and the Ancient One wants to wear down his arrogance. …… "He has an indomitable spirit. He has persisted for five hours. You can let him in." Master Mordo pleaded for Strange. "His attitude, although arrogant, is indeed very smart and reminds me of someone." Ancient One walked up to the Eye of Agamotto and said. "You think of Casillas." Master Mordo understood Master Ancient One's intention. Casillas was once the favorite student of the Ancient One. “I don’t want to make the same mistake again.” Ancient One said calmly. "But you taught me how to harness my power and overcome my inner demons." Mordo said excitedly. "We can't eliminate our inner demons, we can only learn how to live with them peacefully." Ancient One said, staring into his eyes. "We need fresh blood to help us fight against the dark forces."
"Dark forces are stirring, and we must stop them." Mordo continued to persuade Ancient One. "You're right, we really shouldn't waste time." Gu nodded. In Japan, Casillas is holding a ceremony to summon Dormammu in a church. "Dormammu..." Several people sat in a circle, and Dormammu's power descended from another dimension through summons. "Who's calling me?" A face that is difficult to fully capture with the naked eye emerges. Dark forces filled Casillas' mirror space. "it's me!" Casillas shouted. "Great Dormammu, the Lord of Darkness, please grant us the power of darkness." "We long for immortality. Let us fight against the demon of time. I will sacrifice my life and the lives of all mankind." Dormammu looked down at the people below and generously granted them power. "Click..." The mirror world collapses. A huge hole appeared in the sky of Japan. "Dormammu, I've finally found you!" Lin Feng felt the power from Dormammu. The sky above the capital of Japan was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. The space gradually twisted and slowly cracked, revealing a part of Dormammu's huge body. The dark energy quietly flowed into this world, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression. The crack expanded rapidly, as if accumulating the power to destroy everything, ready to tear space apart completely at any time. Dormammu's coming was imminent. The Japanese people and government officials were all shocked by this unusual phenomenon. "This is a spatial rift from another dimension. Our world is being torn apart." "I feel a deep sense of evil in this terrifying power." "Is this related to the strange phenomenon that appeared in the sky above Lundun before?" People's hearts were filled with doubts and fears. Senior officials of the Japanese government have begun asking China for help.
"This crisis is more serious than the Lundun incident. We must seek help. Quickly, contact the top leaders of Huaxia. We need their support. No matter what conditions they put forward, we must accept them." Faced with this unimaginable disaster, the Japanese high-ranking officials were already in a state of panic. They knew very well that this was beyond the ability of human civilization to cope with it. Now, they placed all their hopes on the gods of China, hoping that the great god Yang Jian would come and save their capital from the water and fire. And in the distant Kamar-Taj, a sudden change broke the original peace. "Dormammu!" The Ancient One was originally instructing Stephen Strange, but suddenly, her face changed and she screamed. "It shouldn't appear at this time." Ancient One once peeked into the future through the Eye of Agammodor, and she knew that Dormammu's arrival would come much earlier than expected. Ever since the Chinese gods appeared, the future seems to have become even more confusing. The Ancient One had to use the Eye of Agamotto more frequently, trying to gain insight into the unpredictable future. And Dormammu's early arrival this time is undoubtedly a major variable. "Master, what are you talking about?" Seeing Ancient One's serious expression, Strange couldn't help but ask curiously. "The Lord of Darkness has arrived. I must rush to deal with it immediately." Ancient One regained her usual calmness and indifference, stood up and prepared to use her powers to go to the scene of the incident. "The Lord of Darkness? Who is that?" Strange's face was full of confusion and puzzlement. He knew nothing about the "Dark Lord" that Ancient One mentioned. "It's Dormammu. It is the source of the dark forces and possesses the power of immortality. It is this that the three major temples on Earth have been guarding against." Mordo explained on the side, his tone revealing deep fear. Casillas roared: "You are so selfish. Humanity has never stopped in the race against time and death, but you let us be besieged by death and eroded by time bit by bit." "You are a traitor to humanity!" "Master, what he said is not true, right?" Mordo cast a questioning look at Ancient One. Casillas gathered his strength in his palms and slammed them to the ground. The surrounding buildings are like deconstructed and recreated building blocks, and the entire building is instantly transformed into a huge maze that can be moved at will. "Their power has transcended the constraints of reality." Ancient One, Mordo and Strange were thrown out of the building. At this moment, Ancient One could no longer focus on fighting Dormammu. "what……" Just when Mordo and Strange felt desperate, the surrounding buildings transformed into a huge rotating compass, catching them steadily.
The three were placed on the compass, and Casillas and others who had absorbed the power of darkness quickly caught up. This place has become an arena for life and death. "Master, your forehead..." Mordo noticed the mark on Ancient One's forehead and stopped in shock. “You know how to use it.” Ancient One handed the Eye of Agamotto to Strange and said solemnly: "The responsibility of protecting this world is now entrusted to you." Then she turned to Mordo and continued: "I am not afraid of death, but I have not found a suitable successor yet." She abandoned the power of darkness, waved her hand, and two golden rune discs appeared, and at this time Casillas was approaching. "Zizzizi..." Gu Yi fought fiercely with Casillas and others. Not everyone was a match for Casillas, and Gu defeated them one by one in just a few rounds. When the Ancient One faced Casillas again, Casillas used the body of his last companion as a shield. "Pfft..." An invisible sharp blade pierced through Gu Yi's body, and she fell heavily on the top of a tall building. "It's so stupid." Casillas glanced at Ancient One's "dead" body and said coldly. "Now, no one can stop Lord Dormammu." "Darkness is about to cover this world." "Mordo, keep an eye on him. I'm going to go meet Lord Dormammu." Strange had no time to mourn the passing of the Ancient One. He once opened the Eye of Agammodor and knew how to keep Dormammu out of this world. However, when he tried to activate the Eye of Agamotto again, his movements were somewhat slow. "Snapped……" Kaecilius knocked Strange unconscious with a slap and took away the Eye of Agamotto. "Without it, no one in this world will be able to stop Lord Dormammu." He smashed the Eye of Agamotto hard, and the fragments flew into the ruins. Looking back, Mordo and Strange had disappeared without a trace.
"They are nothing but insignificant rats. When Lord Dormammu arrives, it will be useless for you to escape anywhere." Casillas was unfazed by the two's escape. "Click..." The space in the sky cracked like a broken mirror. In a short period of time, three-quarters of Dormammu's face squeezed out of the crack. There was no one to stop it at the moment, it only needed to break through the defenses of the three major temples. "Casillas, destroy the Three Holy Temples, and I will be here immediately." Dormammu's voice echoed in the air, and Kaecilius responded and quickly destroyed the temple. If no one tried to stop them, it would only take ten minutes to destroy the temple. Ten minutes later, Japan will be swallowed up instantly by the fully descended Dormammu... "It's not that we don't want to help. Our Chinese people have always paid attention to the safety of mankind and will never be stingy with assistance." "But you also understand that gods always come and go without a trace, and we can't contact them at any time." "What did you say? Oh, by the way, we have contacted Professor Lin Feng." Japan asked China for help, and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs felt helpless. The Chinese top brass called Lin Feng personally. In fact, Lin Feng had originally planned to go and provide support. He planned to wait until Dormammu fully emerged before attacking and teaching it a profound lesson. In order to get points and tasks, he needs to wait for the most dangerous moment. Anyway, the incident did not happen within China, so Lin Feng was not worried about any casualties. "Professor Lin Feng, please contact Master Erlang as soon as possible. The Japanese have asked us for help. Although they were a little ignorant in the past, we are of the same origin after all. We cannot just stand by and watch them die." "They have prepared a lot of high-end technology as compensation." "For the sake of the country and the nation, and for the development of China, please be sure to communicate with Master Erlang. As for your reward, everything can be discussed." After Lin Feng received the call, the other party eagerly explained his request. It is obvious that Japan has realized the seriousness of the crisis and is willing to pay a huge price to seek assistance from China. "It's not that I don't want to get in touch with Erlang Zhenjun, but he is a god and I'm just a mortal. Communication is indeed difficult." Lin Feng expressed it quite helplessly. He must respond carefully to avoid endless trouble in the future. When the Chinese high-level officials heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. It seemed that Lin Feng did have some connection with the gods. "Lin Feng, what assistance do you need? No matter what price you have to pay, we are willing to provide ten times the support." The Chinese officials showed great sincerity. Seeing that time was running out, Lin Feng did not make any more requests. "Allocate 10 billion to the Shenmao Bureau as a token of our sincerity." He was not greedy, and after he finished speaking, he continued to focus on the phone in his hand.
"However, Master Erlang is not able to come at the moment. Another god has gone to handle it." Feng hung up the phone, leaving everyone stunned. "Mr. Zheng, what should we do now?" The short middle-aged man from the Japanese Embassy asked Zheng Xian anxiously. Zheng Xian was talking to Lin Feng just now. They have some friendship, so Lin Feng agreed so readily. Zheng Xian was stunned because the strange phenomenon over Japan was twice as large as that in other places and was still spreading. That hideous face seemed to be about to break through the constraints of space and descend completely. Everyone was looking forward to Yang Jian's arrival. They couldn't imagine that apart from Yang Jian, anyone else could stop Dormammu's invasion. …… "Strange, wake up!" Mordo called from a building next to the ruins. (End of this chapter)
