Heroes of Marvel-Chapter 1075: Powerful

Upon awakening from his meditation and finalizing the terms of the deal with Dormammu from the dark dimension, Kaecilius didn’t continue his meditation. Instead, he lowered his head and glanced at his tattered sorcerer robe. He then raised his hand to touch the wounds on his cheek and ear, inflicted by Lin Rui’s desperate efforts.

Huff… Huff… Huff…

To Kaecilius’ surprise, as he touched the wounds, they visibly and rapidly healed, leaving no trace behind.

“Mirage Knight… one of the founders of the League of Defenders? His relationship with Iron Man Tony Stark is unclear, but it seems he has some connection with those hypocritical sorcerers led by the Ancient One,” Kaecilius murmured to himself while tending to his wounds.

In this brief moment, Kaecilius had already figured out the identity of the person who unexpectedly interfered with him in the Mirror Dimension. He didn’t pay much attention to Lin Rui’s strength, but during their battle, Kaecilius encountered several unexpected occurrences.

For example, Lin Rui’s defensive methods to block Kaecilius’ magical onslaught, and especially the powerful Psychic Power that Lin Rui unleashed in the end, which even Kaecilius had to take seriously. These things caught Kaecilius’ attention because he believed that Mirage Knight shouldn’t possess such abilities.

“No matter what his identity is, since he hindered my plans this time, he won’t be so lucky the next time we meet. However, he sustained such severe injuries that it’s questionable whether he can survive, unless that Ancient One uses the Eye of Agamotto for him…” Kaecilius muttered with a cold gaze, waving his hand to heal the wounds on his face.

From Kaecilius’ perspective, Lin Rui had already displayed his hidden potential multiple times during their battle, especially the eruption of Psychic Power that had harmed his consciousness.

Even Kaecilius had no means to recover from such injuries, relying solely on the dark power provided by Dormammu. Therefore, it was only natural for him to assume that Lin Rui wouldn’t be able to recover.

“If that hypocritical Ancient One is willing to use the Time Stone for someone like him… it would only prove that he is not only a hypocrite but also a selfish individual!” Kaecilius, filled with resentment towards the Ancient One, didn’t believe that Ancient One would use the Time Stone for that person, as Ancient One had been indifferent to Kaecilius’ previous pleas.

Of course, Kaecilius was unaware that despite the severe injuries caused by Lin Rui’s Psychic Power, it hadn’t reached a critical life-threatening situation. If there were no complications, it would only take Lin Rui a little more time to recover on his own.

With the assistance of the Ancient One, it wouldn’t be long before Lin Rui regained consciousness.

“Despite the failure of this probing plan, I’ve already obtained the spell to summon Dormammu. Now, all I need to do is break the three major Sanctums, and Dormammu will naturally descend upon the Earth’s plane. So… it’s time to activate those sleeper agents,” Kaecilius said, paying little thought to the person he had severely injured, as he continued his soliloquy with a gloomy expression.

After murmuring these words, Kaecilius silently raised his hands and began rapidly performing hand seals.

Hummm…

Soon, one after another, the magical imprints in his hands were completed, transforming into hidden messages that swiftly dissipated from the dimly lit room. After completing these actions, Kaecilius quietly lowered his hands and closed his eyes once again, entering a state of meditation.

For Kaecilius, the battle with the sorcerers of the Sorcerors had only just begun, and he had plenty of time to confront Ancient One.

…

In the courtyard of Ancient One’s secluded residence in the Himalayas, where the sorcerers of the Earth resided, Ancient One, who had let Jack go, stood in the small courtyard, gazing up at the clear blue sky and the snow-white clouds above the snow-capped mountains.

“As someone who can change the future, your strength is still not enough in this matter…” Ancient One muttered, seemingly lost in thought as he observed the clouds thousands of meters above, his words leaving it unclear who he was referring to.

“However, this matter should have been handled by us, the sorcerers. Regardless of the final outcome, we should be the ones to bear the responsibility. As for all of you, continue being the guardians,” Ancient One said, his wandering gaze gradually converging.

He continued to mutter to himself, but now it was possible to understand some of what he was saying.

Hoo~

“Hmph, they are just a bunch of traitors. Even if they really manage to destroy the three Sanctums and bring Dormammu to Earth, as long as I am still on this planet, what can Dormammu do?”

Boom!

As Ancient One’s gaze refocused, his aura silently grew stronger. By the time Ancient One finished speaking, his aura had reached a terrifying level. The force of his presence even shattered a cloud in the sky.

Huff, huff, huff~

The immense aura emanating from Ancient One continued for quite some time before gradually dissipating. The sorcerers of the Earth in the Himalayas could all sense the overwhelming power that surged into the sky.

Each sorcerer was filled with confusion, as the usually approachable and low-profile Ancient One suddenly unleashed such a powerful and fierce aura. Although everyone was puzzled, no one dared to inquire about the reason. They simply pondered silently in their hearts.

After dispelling the slightly excited aura that had been released, Ancient One turned and walked towards his dwelling. In regards to Kaecilius, the traitorous sorcerers, and Dormammu’s invasion of Earth, Ancient One had already tested Lin Rui’s role in it.

However, if Ancient One’s previous expectations were correct, Lin Rui currently didn’t possess the power to handle such a level of an event. Therefore, Ancient One decided that he, along with the sorcerers of the Earth would resolve this matter.

Even though Ancient One had seen countless futures through the Time Stone, the majority of them were unfavorable to him. But as Lin Rui had previously mentioned, the future had not yet arrived, and Ancient One had a great opportunity to change it.

Once inside his dwelling, Ancient One quickly sent out a message. This message was not about how to deal with Kaecilius and the traitorous sorcerers, but rather about the selection of the next generation of Sorcerer Supreme.

Aside from Jack, who had already left, there were four other candidates for the position of the next Sorcerer Supreme.
