Chapter 218 Ancient One Failure
"How could it be... How could you..."

Master Ancient One's eyes trembled, as if he had heard something incredible. He had tried to conceal this matter for so many years, and had succeeded in concealing it for so many years, but this was the result he got?
Dormammu... Damn Dormammu...

It is true, of course, that he absorbed the power of darkness.

But has anyone ever thought about why he wanted to absorb the dark power?

Is the Ancient One not powerful enough? Impossible.

With the inheritance of the Supreme Sorcerer and the Eye of Agamotto, the Ancient One is almost invincible.

Even if Dormammu himself came, he couldn't say that he could defeat the Ancient One at his full strength with 100% certainty.

Then why did he absorb the dark power?
The Ancient One's purpose is, of course, different from that of most people who have fallen into darkness.

He wasn't craving power.

On the contrary, his strength brought him fatigue and ennui.

If possible, he even wanted to give up his power and mission and become an ordinary person.

But, that's just if.

There is no if in this world.

Therefore, he must assume the responsibility as the Supreme Sorcerer.

But, no matter what, he is still human.

Mages are also human, albeit powerful ones, but they are also subject to birth, aging, sickness and death.

Generation after generation of Supreme Sorcerers protect the planet, relying on the bond of inheritance between the Supreme Sorcerers.

Master Ancient One has been the Supreme Sorcerer for hundreds of years.

However, in hundreds of years, he did not find a suitable person to inherit his mantle.

At the same time, his sense of responsibility did not allow him to lower his standards and give the identity of savior to an uneducated and unqualified person.

So, he chose to fall into darkness.

Because absorbing dark power can extend the life of Master Ancient One.

For humans, extending life span is evil and goes against the laws of nature.

But Master Ancient One had to do this.

Otherwise, once the Supreme Sorcerer dies, the next Supreme Sorcerer will not appear.

There is no one to succeed the Guardians, and the dark forces who learn of all this will launch an attack on the innocent Earth.

In that case, Ancient One becomes a sinner.

Therefore, he cannot die.

Under this premise, he chose to fall into darkness, absorb the power of darkness and prolong his life.

However, he himself knew that this was an unconventional approach.

This is an extremely evil idea.

If people knew that the famous Ancient One actually needed to absorb dark power frequently, then the faith in people's hearts would collapse.

And once faith is gone, it is gone forever.

It can never be built up again.

Therefore, Gu Yi didn't dare to make this bet.

He must live.

Until he saw the scene before him.

These students, who were taught by him personally, are now speaking nonsense and mocking him.

"You guys...really don't understand my good intentions?"

Master Ancient One smiled bitterly and shook his head.

However, he did not argue because he knew that in the face of facts, all excuses were weak.

In fact, in the beginning, when he used the dark power to prolong his life, he had thought about what to do if he was discovered.

He thought at the time that if he was discovered, he would die as a token of atonement.

This would also allow the power to be handed over to the new Supreme Sorcerer. However, he did not expect this.

So many years have passed.

Dark forces have extended his life for so long.

However, he still hasn't found a candidate that satisfies him.

Gu Yi once thought about giving up.

"Are you kidding me? Do you need an excuse to draw on dark power? Master Ancient One, have you forgotten that all the excuses you told us were just lies for the desire for power?"

Baron Morton said ruthlessly.

He had lived with Master Ancient One the longest and thought he knew him very well.

However, when the demon Dormammu showed Baron Morton the true face of the Ancient One, he was completely disappointed. He was originally greedy, so he naturally let go of all his psychological burdens and betrayed the Ancient One.

"Everyone, listen to my orders, come together! Kill the Ancient One and serve Lord Dormammu! Power and life are all in your hands!"

Baron Morton roared, shouting with excitement.

It's like hunting prey!
The Ancient One in front of him is his prey!
And the other wizards who have fallen into darkness are Baron Morton's hounds!
Several people formed a siege, and for a moment, Master Ancient One seemed to be at a disadvantage.

"You... then don't blame me for being serious! The moment you voluntarily fell into darkness, you were already beyond redemption! It was my fault for trying to save you with words!"

Master Ancient One made a sorrowful sound.

It can be seen that he doesn't want to kill these people with his own hands.

After all, he had watched these people grow up one by one before his own eyes.

But that's the reality.

If he doesn't kill them now, the whole earth will suffer in the future.

"Stop talking nonsense! Master Ancient One, show your true strength and understand the gap between you and me now! Then, you should die!"

Baron Morton roared!

Bang!
In the air, a huge number of sounds converged and collided.

Steve and Tony below showed shocked expressions.

This power... is so terrifying!
Even they themselves did not expect that Master Ancient One and Baron Morton had such equal abilities!
"Those guys...are so scary!"

Tony shook his head. He had already seen the data transmitted by Jarvis.

If they go over to fight them now and are caught in that magic storm, their chances of survival will be infinitely close to zero.

Most people would probably give up at this point.

But Tony forgot.

The Steve beside him is no ordinary person.

Fear? It will never happen to Steve!
"Tony! Use your chariot! Send me up there! I want to help the wizard!"

Steve yelled.

He never thought about how terrifying the enemy would be that even the Supreme Sorcerer had to fight for so long.

"You...Steve, you are really speechless!"

Tony shrugged helplessly.

But in fact, there was also a fire burning in his heart.

Maybe it was infected.

Steve's sonorous righteousness gave Tony some imperceptible fortitude.

Tony himself didn't realize how the two of them influenced each other from the time they started to interact with Steve, to when they became comrades-in-arms, and finally when they were on missions for a long time.

"Okay, this is what you said, so don't regret it later."

Tony laughed a loud, hearty laugh.

Swish!
A rose-red chariot flew out, carrying the two of them. Then, the jet engine started and rushed straight towards the black mist in the sky.
