Chapter 572 The Holy of Holies
Originally, when Steve first introduced Wong and Strange, Yang Le thought that the plot of "Doctor Strange 1" had ended, but when he saw the two of them, he found that things were completely different from what he thought.

First of all, Strange is still just an apprentice, yes, the kind who has just been brought in, and the teacher in charge of teaching him is none other than the King of Sanctuary, who is very likely the only two surviving wizards on Earth.

As for Ancient One, who was supposed to be Strange's teacher, according to Wang, she had hidden away with the Time Stone two years ago, and even he didn't know where she was hidden.

The Ancient One only left one clue, which was to have Strange go to the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies in New York after completing his magical studies, and then drove him out of the Sanctuary before the King could react.

However, at this time, Wang did not recognize Strange at all, but it was also at this time that Thanos' invasion began. Wang had no choice but to avoid Thanos' army while searching for a man named Stephen Strange.

A year passed like this, New York was destroyed, and after moving to three shelters, Wang came to the Avengers shelter built by Steve and others, where he finally met Stephen Strange.

At this time, Strange was at the lowest point in his life, because when he was avoiding Thanos' army, his hand was injured as if by fate. Due to poor medical conditions, his hands could not hold a scalpel, and even feeding himself was a problem.

It was also thanks to the fact that he went to the shelter built by the Avengers. If it were an ordinary shelter, it would definitely not take in a disabled person who could not lift anything with his hands, even if he had a head full of medical knowledge.

Strange, who was feeling frustrated, met the mad Wang who was looking for someone. It can only be said that their first meeting was not pleasant. Strange initially regarded Wang as a madman, until Wang said that he could cure his hand and showed him some magic, the relationship between the two eased.

After more than a year of study, Strange finally completed all the studies assigned by Wang not long ago, and at this time Yang Le also brought the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers to the door.

The Avengers never dreamed that the clues to the Time Stone that Thanos and they were all looking for seemed far away, but were actually right in front of them.

Wang was also surprised. He had planned to tell Strange about the Time Stone after teaching him, but he didn't expect Yang Le to ask about it first.

It was not until Yang Le explained the multiverse to him that Wang suddenly realized it. Although he was a mage and not the Supreme Sorcerer, he did have some knowledge of the multiverse, so it was naturally easier for him to accept than the Avengers.

Although Yang Le said it first, it didn't matter. After all, Wang was going to tell it anyway. He just kept it a secret because the time had not come yet and Wang was afraid that Tony and others would get impatient and do something bad.

Now that not only has Strange completed his studies, but the team has also grown so much, there is naturally no reason to keep it secret any longer, so Wang was told the whole story.

And this is why Strange, Rocket and others went out. They are now on their way to the Sanctuary of the Supreme Being.

Although the matter is of vital importance, there is no need to send out all the manpower. This is not only a waste of manpower, but also greatly increases the risk of the team being discovered.

In addition to the most important Strange, the people sent out also include the compact Rocket and his bodyguard Groot, the stealth-savvy Gamora and Star-Lord who is worried about her, and the Martian Manhunter who serves as a guarantee of combat power.

The reason why the Avengers didn't send anyone was because they were not ready yet. Their equipment needed to be adjusted or even rebuilt, and someone still needed to guard the base.

So, after the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers exchanged ideas in Yang Le's mind and discovered that the other party was indeed their own, they reached a consensus, assigning the Guardians, who were more skilled in escort missions, to lead the first expedition. With the plan finalized, Wang couldn't wait to use the ring to open a portal to New York.

Well, the Avengers' previous refuge was not in New York. This is because as the most prosperous city in the United States, it has always been the focus of search and attack by Thanos' army. Anyone who is a little smart would have moved away from there long ago.

Thanks to the hanging ring, Yang Le and others saved a lot of time. However, Wang could not open the portal directly near the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies because New York had basically been flattened. The sparking portal opened on a flat ground was as conspicuous as a ray of light in the darkness.

Wang could only open the portal in New York's Central Park. Thor and his team had been there when they were searching for supplies some time ago. There was a patch of trees there that blocked the view, so Yang Le and his team had to walk the rest of the way.

The journey was not long, but because of the rugged road and the need to avoid the sight of the searching vanguards, it still took Yang Le and his team more than an hour to reach Blake Street where the Holy of Holies stood.

Looking at the devastated Blake Street, everyone except Yang Le was unsure whether the Holy of Holies could still exist. After all, at a glance, there was no building taller than two stories on Blake Street.

Looking at the address marked by Wang and the simple schematic diagram in his hand, Strange felt that it was impossible to find a Victorian building among a pile of war-damaged buildings.

The few of them walked and stopped along the way. Although Wang gave them a detailed address, there was no way they could find any recognizable buildings on Blake Street at that time. Strange could only rely on his memory and try his luck bit by bit, because he was the only Earthling here.

Although Yang Le was a fake alien, he had hardly been to Manhattan during the time he lived there, let alone Bleecker Street.

Rocket was getting more and more impatient as he kept stopping and starting, and at the same time had to be careful not to be discovered by the Vanguards. Just when he was about to lose his temper, Strange in front of him finally stopped.

"Uh. Guys I think we should be here." Strange looked at the paper in his hand and said uncertainly.

"Are you sure?" Rocket's disbelief couldn't even be hidden by the hair on his face. "All I saw was a pile of rubble and debris."

"What are you talking about?" Strange rolled his eyes at Rocket. "Can't you see such a huge building right in front of you?"

At the same time, Strange looked at everyone else. He thought that Rocket was messing with him, but he found that it was not just Rocket. Everyone was looking at him as if he was a madman. Strange finally realized that something was wrong.

"You can't see it, can you?"

"It's over." Rocket covered his face. "There's a wizard here who's gone mad from studying magic."
