American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

"Could it be that he is moving using magic?"

"It has always been like this! He has faced choices: whether to return to his own life or to dedicate himself to a higher goal."

"So my hand can be healed and I can return to my old life?" Doctor Strange immediately asked from the side.

These few lines of dialogue show how Doctor Strange came to Kamar-Taj and became a sorcerer.

It is obvious that Doctor Strange must have contracted some serious illness, the kind that ordinary medical methods cannot cure.

After learning that the person named Jonathan had been cured, the other party followed the trail and also sought treatment at Kamar-Taj.

This coincides with what Casillas said before: everyone comes to Kamar-Taj "with the purpose of healing."

"Of course you can, but the world will always have regrets! I also don't want to draw strength from the dark dimension, but sometimes people have to break the rules and pursue what they believe to be a higher ideal."

The Ancient One's voice rang out again as she addressed Doctor Strange.

It was also pointed out that only by joining forces with Doctor Strange and Baron Mordo could Dormammu be defeated.

Everyone guessed correctly that the Ancient One died before Dormammu descended to Earth.

After giving Doctor Strange some necessary instructions, the Ancient One's soul simply vanished.

"Drip drip!"

Inside the operating room, the monitor beeped with the warning sound of cardiac arrest.

The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, died on the operating table.

The image froze at that moment.

Everyone watching on the screen sighed with regret.

Through the final conversation between the Ancient One and Doctor Strange, everyone gained a more concrete understanding of this mysterious figure.

Although she, like Kaecilius, drew power from the Dark Dimension, she did not look like a fallen mage at all.

A bad person.

On the contrary, her interactions with Doctor Strange, her demeanor and speech, all demonstrated her profound understanding and demeanor.

All people can say is that the Ancient One truly deserves to be called the Supreme Sorcerer.

"I never imagined that the Ancient One would be killed like this." Dr. Banner couldn't help but sigh, feeling utterly disheartened.

It is truly regrettable that such a person met such an end.

“No, the Ancient One wasn’t killed; she chose to die!” Tony Stark said.

"Didn't the Ancient One say that she has been peering into the future and watching this point in time for so many years? She knew all along that she would be killed by Kaecilius!"

"If the Ancient One wanted to change all of this, it would have been easy, wouldn't it? But she didn't do it; instead, she let it happen."

"So, it wasn't that despicable Kaecilius who killed the Ancient One, but rather she chose her own death!"

“That’s right.” Star-Lord nodded in agreement. “Clearly, it’s because the Ancient One herself didn’t want to live. If she didn’t want to die, Kaecilius shouldn’t have been able to kill her.”

The people present generally agreed with Tony Stark and Star-Lord's explanation.

It's hard for everyone to accept that such a powerful being could be killed so easily.

Chapter 227 Why did Doctor Strange hand over the Infinity Stones?

"The Ancient One said that she had prevented countless terrible events."

Captain America then spoke up, his expression serious, "It seems Earth has already experienced many crises."

Even with the abilities of the Ancient One, it was described as a terrifying event; no one dares to imagine what kind of event it was.

But after living together for so long, apart from some major future events like the Battle of New York and the Battle of Wakanda, we have never heard of any other terrible events.

And since the Ancient One was about to die, he couldn't possibly lie about something like this.

This demonstrates that it was the Ancient One, leading the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, who silently prevented those terrible events from happening on Earth.

They defeated the threat of those terrible enemies.

From this perspective, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the Ancient One the guardian of Earth.

Yet, this very person died on the operating table in such a way.

The crowd sighed even more deeply.

[Question: On Titan, the heroes fought a great battle against Thanos. Whom did Doctor Strange ultimately choose to save, and why did he willingly hand over the Time Stone?]

【A. Gamora, Thanos's adopted daughter】

【B. Star-Lord Peter Quill】

[C. Captain America, Steve Rogers]

[D. Iron Man Tony Stark]

[Friendly reminder: Those who answer correctly will receive a reward of 500 kilograms of Adamantium;]

Those who answer incorrectly will have one attribute of their own deducted randomly, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, possessions, etc.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, a new question appeared.

The group temporarily stopped their discussion and turned their attention back to the big screen.

In the previous questions, we learned that Doctor Strange voluntarily handed the Time Stone to Thanos. This question will reveal the specific reasons why Doctor Strange did this.

People are quite interested in this.

"Titan, this is Thanos's home planet."

Thor immediately introduced to everyone, "Titan used to be a very prosperous planet, but for some reason, it has now become an abandoned planet."

When Thor first came to Earth, he had never even heard of Thanos.

However, after answering a series of questions, Thor returned to Asgard and immediately began investigating Thanos.

Thor now has a lot of information about Thanos.

Thor had naturally heard of Titan, Thanos's home planet.

However, after everyone learned from Star-Lord that Thanos's nickname was "Mad Titan," even without Thor's explanation, they guessed that this planet was Thanos's home planet.

"Do you know why Thanos is called the Mad Titan?" Star-Lord explained to everyone, "Because Thanos slaughtered half of all life on Titan!"

"He doesn't even spare his own home planet, he's a complete madman!" Dr. Banner couldn't help but exclaim.

One can only imagine how cold-blooded a person is if they are so ruthless in wielding a knife against their own home planet.

"Everyone knows that I once fought Thanos on an alien planet. Considering this question, I think it must be Titan."

Tony Stark then spoke up to everyone.

Apart from Star-Lord, the others who had shared information exchanged glances and largely agreed with Tony Stark's assessment.

Although this judgment is only speculation, everyone thinks it is highly likely.

Firstly, Earth is not a planet that has reached interstellar level.

Earth's exploration of the universe has been limited to observations by some astronomical telescopes, and at most, the launch of some probes to the Moon and Mars.

Occasionally, I'll go up to the moon and take a picture or something.

Under these circumstances, the possibility of Tony Stark wandering around the stars is really small; no matter which planet he goes to, it would not be an easy task.

In other words, people don't think Tony Stark will go to alien planets many times; there's a high probability it will only happen once.

Even if it's not the worst, it's still a few times.

Secondly, Tony Stark had previously stated that the planet where he fought Thanos was an abandoned planet.

As everyone just confirmed with Thor, Titan is indeed a deserted planet!

Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?

Given that Earth has not yet reached interstellar level, and considering the coincidence that both planets are abandoned, it is quite possible that Tony Stark's battle with Thanos took place on Titan.

“Stark was stabbed in the abdomen by Thanos in that battle and almost died, so could the answer be Tony Stark?” Thor immediately said with sparkling eyes.

"That judgment is too arbitrary."

Tony Stark shook his head. "And obviously, whether or not someone faces a death threat is not the basis for judging this question, because we cannot know whether the other people in the options are also facing a death threat."

"To put it another way, even if we assume that none of the other people in the options are facing a death threat, and only I am facing a death threat, so what?"

"That doesn't mean Doctor Strange would abandon the Time Stone to save me. That's the Time Stone!"

"It's perfectly normal to have to sacrifice your comrades' lives on the battlefield. Didn't Scarlet Witch kill Vision?"

Although the footage did not explicitly show that Vision died after the Mind Stone was shattered, Scarlet Witch was crying so much that Vision was most likely dead.

“Fine!” Thor shrugged. “I was just saying it offhand.”

"So how do we analyze this problem? Stark, you're right. Even if faced with a death threat, Doctor Strange might not necessarily save him. But if there's no death threat, Doctor Strange is even less likely to save him, right? Why would he save someone if they're perfectly fine?"

Star-Lord shrugged and voiced his question, leaving everyone present speechless.

If someone is facing a death threat, they may not necessarily be saved; if they are not facing a death threat, they are even less likely to be saved.

What's even more critical is that no one can possibly know whether they are facing a death threat.

So how should we analyze this problem?

There's simply no way to start!

“I think… Star-Lord has hit the nail on the head this time.” Strange nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with Star-Lord’s point.

If you don't understand the criteria Doctor Strange used to save people, you simply can't answer this question.

But that's exactly the problem we're facing now; they can't figure out what the basis for this is.

If a person is not necessarily facing a threat of death, then what other situations would warrant a rescue?

Even before that, there was a crucial question that needed to be clarified: no one could determine which of the four people in the options actually needed to be saved!

Who knows, they might be perfectly healthy and not need to be rescued at all?

The question didn't tell you that everyone needed Doctor Strange to save them, and that Doctor Strange was indifferent to the deaths of others, choosing only one person to save.
