Black Robe: Gender Swap, I Have a Small Panel

As Doctor Strange, he had to choose to let Christine leave him and get her out of danger.

But deep down, Styrange didn't want to lose Christine.

Two conflicting feelings were intertwined within him, and he was filled with profound sorrow.

For a moment, he wanted to rush forward and steal the bride, but looking at the happy newlyweds on the stage, he ultimately gave up.

Perhaps I shouldn't disturb their happiness...

……

My beloved girl is getting married~ Tears are streaming down my face~

I never thought I would really lose her... From now on, she's in someone else's arms...

Damn it! Who's singing...?

"Waaah, I can't take it anymore!" Strange looked at the newcomers on stage, his eyes completely reddening.

One person, as if lost in thought, turned and left the hall, going alone to the bar at the wedding.

With red eyes, he ordered several cocktails in one go, drinking them one after another, trying to numb himself with alcohol.

……

"Morgan, stop singing."

"Mind your own business, I'm going to sing..."

……

At the bar,

Just before he was about to drink his fourth glass of wine, Christine, who had been secretly watching Strange, walked up to him.

He grabbed his hand that was drinking.

"Drinking like that is bad for your health!"

At this moment, Strange, who was already tipsy, did not seem flustered by her arrival.

Instead, she smiled and said, "Today is your wedding. Are you here to have a drink with me?"

When Christine saw Strange's reddened eyes, the words of advice she was about to utter, urging him to let go, turned out to be:

"...I would be more than happy to."

Strange waved his hand, and a half-full glass of red wine appeared in the other person's hand.

"Thank you."

Seeing that the other party was willing to talk to him, Strange, fueled by alcohol, tried to salvage the relationship.

After taking a deep breath, he spoke sincerely:

I really wish things hadn't turned out that way...

I really hope we haven't drifted apart. You know, I've always cared about our relationship...

Strange looked at Christine expectantly, hoping to see a glimmer of change of heart in her eyes.

Hearing his heartfelt words, Christine simply lowered her head slightly, looked calmly at Strange, and said lightly:

"I'm sorry, there's absolutely no possibility between us."

"...Why?"

"Because, Strange, you always have to be in control of everything."

I have always respected you for that, but I cannot love you for it.

In her eyes, Strange is the guardian of the world, a guardian of reason.

Christine respected that, but could never fall in love with him because of it...

As the person who knows Strange best, she knows his code of conduct.

Everything is just like that saying...

"The demise of a few is better than the end of the world..."

If the existence of one person could cause a cosmic-level, or even greater, crisis.

Strange will make the difficult but right choice—to destroy the person who will bring disaster!

Even if that person is innocent...

(Of course, if Christine were sacrificed to save the world, it would lead to Doctor Strange's complete descent into darkness.)

"wo..."

Strange took a deep breath, thinking to himself, "She really does understand me..."

At the same time, he knew that there was absolutely no way he could salvage the relationship.

At that moment, Strange laughed, not because he was relieved, but because he was at his wit's end.

He said helplessly:

"How long have you been holding back these words, Christine?"

"It's been a long time..."

Strange looked into the other man's eyes for a long time, and finally could only utter one sentence:

"I wish you happiness..."

"I wish you happiness too, Strange. You deserve it."

After the two finished speaking, Christine turned back to continue attending her own wedding.

Strange was left alone at the bar, staring at her retreating figure, lost in thought for a long time...

Shortly after Christine left, a voice sounded from behind him.

"Hi, Master, did you miss me?"

The sudden sound startled Doctor Strange.

Generous crab gift!

Someone actually bypassed my senses and got behind me?!

Doctor Strange instantly assumed a fighting stance and turned to look behind him.

Who else could be behind him but Morgan?

"Morgan?"

Doctor Strange paused, then a hint of anger flashed across his face as he asked Morgan:

"Was that you singing just now?"

I was wondering why someone would sing such a sad song at a wedding; it turns out it was you!

Seeing that Doctor Strange was a little angry, Morgan calmly took out a sapling from his storage bracelet.

The moment the sapling appeared, it immediately captured Doctor Strange's attention.

The small tree was shimmering with light, and its branches were covered with runes, making it clearly no ordinary tree!

This is the magical plant unique to Morgan's universe?!

Doctor Strange's anger vanished instantly, and the insult that almost escaped his lips turned into:

"You're... actually singing pretty well!"

Morgan suppressed a smile and handed the sapling to Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange carefully took the sapling and examined it closely.

As he received the sapling, a cool sensation flowed into his body.

The dark energy within him that he had been suppressing was now being purified at an extremely slow pace!

This greatly excited him.

Sure enough! Morgan hadn't lied to him; their universe's extraordinary plants possessed the power to purify dark energy.

Although the efficiency is extremely low, this is only the effect of a small sapling. What if you could grow a whole forest?!

Wouldn't that solve the problem of the dark energy eroding one's body?

As his attention was drawn to the sapling, Morgan's Eye of Agamotto on his chest began to glow green.

Morgan used the Eye of Agamotto to perform the Detection spell in front of Doctor Strange.

She was genuinely curious about the other party's strength, as for why they didn't use it secretly...

It can only be said that, given Doctor Strange's familiarity with this artifact, he would be able to know even if Morgan were observing him from the shadows.

Therefore, Morgan simply used it on the spot.

Under the Eye of Agamotto, the opponent's energy level and arcane proficiency were revealed.

They are respectively [Peak State-Level] and [Quasi-Demon God!]

Having absorbed dark energy, Doctor Strange has already taken a groundbreaking step on the path of arcane magic.

Since reaching the realm of [Upper-Rank Supreme Mage], he has ascended to the level of [Quasi-Demon God]...

Once he possesses enough arcane power, Doctor Strange will be able to step into the realm of a demon god!

At that point, the sorcerer will have achieved complete success in their business, as their internal secret techniques will be able to circulate and generate themselves.

To completely escape the vortex of arduous cultivation, yet still being exploited by dimensional demons.

No more need for that, I'll borrow money to cultivate myself!
