Kryptonian: Man of Steel

As he spoke, Master Ancient One slowly raised his right hand and gently pressed his thumb on Strange's forehead. At that moment, Strange felt a warm and powerful force pouring in from his fingertips, instantly penetrating his whole body.

His eyes suddenly opened, and everything in front of him began to become blurred and distorted, as if the whole world was spinning and collapsing.

"Open your eyes!"

The voice of Master Ancient One exploded in his ears, like thunder.

Strange instantly felt weightless. He felt that his body was flying up at a very fast speed, passing through the ceiling, leaving this room, flying into the sky, passing through the clouds, leaving the earth, and even leaving the atmosphere, and coming to the vast universe.

Here, he felt unprecedented loneliness and insignificance, as if he was just an insignificant dust.

However, in this boundless universe, Strange strangely saw a yellow butterfly, which was lightly flying in front of his fingers.

The wings of the butterfly flickered with strange light, like the brightest star in the night sky, attracting Strange's attention.

He curiously stretched out his hand, wanting to catch the mysterious butterfly.

But his action was like pressing an unknown switch. He, who had already escaped from the gravity of the earth, was captured by an invisible force at this moment and fell down at a faster speed.

At this moment, the voice of the Ancient One sounded in his ears again, like the sound of nature, and like a long alarm bell: "You think you know how the world works, you think you know the nature of the universe. But have you ever thought about what is true? What is false? What secrets are hidden behind what you know? Strange, your journey has just begun, and what you are about to face is a more complex and profound cosmic truth than you can imagine."

As the words of the Ancient One fell, Strange found himself entering a bizarre world again. The scene here was something he had never heard of or seen before.

He saw the birth and death of stars, the expansion and contraction of the universe, and the interweaving and distortion of time and space. He seemed to be a spectator, and also a participant, traveling and exploring in this endless universe.

What the Ancient One did was something similar to the initiation method. She poured her knowledge, what she saw and heard into Strange's brain.

Strange felt that his consciousness was suddenly pulled into a bizarre world by this force.

Here, time seemed to have lost its meaning, space was twisted and folded, and knowledge and information were as bright as stars and surging like tides.

He tried to grasp every ray of light, to understand and absorb, but the amount of information was so huge that his mind seemed to be stretched to collapse.

It was a feeling of excitement and fear, like a child who suddenly gained the whole world but didn't know how to control this power.

Luther did not intervene in this step, and stood quietly aside.

This is a test that Strange must go through, and it is also a key step in whether he can become the future Supreme Sorcerer.

The inculcation of this knowledge is not only the transmission of knowledge, but also an extreme challenge to Strange's will and endurance.

Only those who can truly withstand this power can use the time difference between the dark dimension of Dormammu and the real dimension to grow rapidly and eventually become Doctor Strange who can protect this world.

Without this knowledge of the Ancient One, Strange would not have grown up so quickly just relying on the little knowledge he learned in the library of Kamar-Taj.

Strange wandered in this strange space. He felt like a big tree transplanted to a strange land, with roots exploring everywhere, eager to find a foothold.

But the difference is that his "roots" turned into countless arms, growing out from every part of his body, layer by layer, densely packed, completely wrapping him.

These arms are not terrifying dark tentacles, but human arms. Although weird, they also reveal a miracle of life.

"This world is just one of countless worlds. The world is infinite."

The voice of the Ancient One wizard is like the sound of nature, penetrating the fog in Strange's heart.

Her voice was gentle and firm, leading him to a broader vision.

"Some worlds are beautiful and pure, as peaceful as heaven; while some worlds are full of evil and killing, as cruel as hell."

Following the words of the Ancient One, Strange found himself as if being pulled by an invisible force and fell into a dark space.

Here, darkness is like a entity, swallowing up all light, and even starlight cannot penetrate.

In this darkness, he glimpsed a powerful existence - an existence that surpassed all his cognition, its eyes were like the abyss, full of desire and greed for power.

"The savage power is greedily waiting for an opportunity, waiting to devour everything we know."

The words of the Ancient One echoed in his ears, adding a bit of heaviness and urgency to this dark space.

This is the limit set by the Ancient One for Strange, and it is also her expectation and warning for the future Supreme Sorcerer.

She hopes that Strange can understand that as a guardian, he must not only face the light, but also face the darkness.

And Dormammu is one of the biggest challenges he will face in the future.

When Strange came back to his senses from those frightening eyes, he found himself back in Ancient One's room, kneeling at her feet.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his legs were shaking with fear and shock.

He looked up at Ancient One, with awe and desire in his eyes.

"Teach me!"

He pleaded, with a tremor in his voice, which was a yearning for unknown power and a desire for self-transcendence.

However, Ancient One just shook his head gently, his voice calm and firm: "No."

Strange's heart sank suddenly, and he looked at Ancient One in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion and disappointment.

He couldn't understand why Ancient One would reject his plea. He had clearly seen that magical world and felt that frightening power, so why couldn't he continue to study in depth?

Ancient One looked at Strange's disappointed and puzzled eyes and sighed in his heart.

She understood that Strange's mood at the moment was like a new life that had just opened its eyes to see the world, full of curiosity and desire for everything around him.
