Kryptonian: Man of Steel

"We need your help, Mordo. You are one of the most proud disciples of the Ancient One. Your knowledge and power are of vital importance to us."

Strange said sincerely. He stretched out his hand and tried to hold Mordo's arm to give him strength.

Mordo's body shook slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Strange with complicated eyes.

The eyes that had once become cold due to anger and disappointment now flashed with hesitation and struggle.

He remembered that he repeatedly chewed on the betrayal and concealment of the Ancient One, and the pain and anger almost swallowed him.

However, when the Ancient One really left him and turned into a wisp of dust in the stars, he suddenly found that he had lost his direction, and the obsession with revenge became blurred.

Moreover, the nine dragons pulling the coffin?

Mordo looked at the ceiling, as if he could see the shocking scene of the nine dragons pulling the coffin.

The coffin of the gods buried the immortal body. Does this mean that the other party recognized the behavior of the Ancient One?

"I..."

Mordo was about to speak but stopped, as if his throat was blocked by something.

Finally, he took a deep breath and made a decision. He slowly raised his arm and let Strange's hand gently fall on his arm.

At that moment, it seemed that an invisible bridge had really been built between the two of them. It was not only a witness to past misunderstandings, but also the starting point of future hope.

The temperature of Strange's palm came through his clothes, warm and firm, as if silently telling him: no matter what happened in the past, now they need to fight side by side.

The portal slowly opened around them, and with the flashing light, they were already in front of the door of the Hong Kong Temple.

However, the scene in front of them made them feel depressed.

The streets in front of the temple had long lost their former prosperity and tranquility, replaced by a mess.

Debris and debris were scattered all over the ground, and people ran in panic, screaming and crying one after another. In the distance, vehicles collided, flames soared into the sky, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded by a sudden disaster.

Mordo's face suddenly became solemn, and he secretly regretted in his heart that if he could arrive one step earlier, perhaps this catastrophe could be avoided.

However, there is no "if" in reality, only cruel results.

At this moment, a cloud of black smoke slowly descended from the sky like a dark cloud. It twisted and rolled, as if it contained endless evil and destructive power.

In the thick smoke, some strange creatures that did not belong to this world could be vaguely seen. They were either waving their fangs or roaring in a low voice. Just looking at them from a distance was enough to make people feel cold, as if their souls were about to be swallowed by the darkness.

"We are late. Dormammu is coming. This world... is over."

Mordo's voice was low and desperate. How terrifying was Dormammu's power. Once it was completely descended, the entire earth would fall into endless darkness and despair.

"Yes, you can't stop it."

A cold and sarcastic voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Mordo's thoughts.

Strange and Mordo looked in the direction of the voice, and saw three fanatics in red robes appearing in front of them. Their faces were filled with enthusiasm and expectations for the upcoming dark world.

The leader was Casillas.

Kaecilius had a smug smile on his face. He slowly approached, his eyes scanning back and forth between Strange and Mordo, as if he was admiring his masterpiece.

"Look at you, former allies, but now powerless bystanders. Dormammu's power is far beyond your imagination, and your resistance will only make the world go to destruction faster."

Facing Kaecilius's provocation, Strange's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

A trace of subtle solemnity flashed in his eyes, but this emotion was quickly suppressed by him, replaced by a kind of determination that was almost calm to the freezing point.

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the noise and anxiety around him into his chest and use it for himself. He slowly raised his hands, and his fingertips trembled slightly, as if he was talking to an invisible force.

As he moved, the Eye of Agamotto on his chest, this ancient and mysterious gem, began to emit a dazzling green light.

That light was not an ordinary light. It carried an ancient and profound breath, as if it was a power that existed since the birth of the universe, passing through countless stars and years, and finally gathered here.

The energy contained in the light was beyond the understanding of mortals. It could penetrate the fog of time, touch the deepest secrets of the universe, and even distort the rules of space.

At this moment, Strange seemed to have become a bridge between time and space, and his will was the direction of this power.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Strange's eyes looked through Casillas and looked farther away, where there was the outline of fate, the future he was determined to change.

Mordo stood aside and witnessed all this, with both surprise and worry in his eyes.

As Strange's senior brother, he knew the power of the Eye of Agamotto, and also understood what kind of disaster this power would bring if it got out of control.

And Casillas, seeing Strange preparing to cast such a powerful magic, his face instantly became gloomy. He knew that he had to take action, otherwise he would lose everything if Strange succeeded.

"This is not good."

Casillas whispered, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

He pulled out the invisible blade without hesitation. It was a weapon he obtained through the dark dimension. It was extremely sharp and could cut through all matter and even space.

He flashed and rushed towards Strange like a ghost, intending to interrupt his spell before he finished the time magic.

However, Strange's reaction was much faster than he expected. Just when Casillas's blade was about to touch Strange's body, Strange had already completed his spell.

An invisible force burst out from the Eye of Agamotto, instantly solidifying the surrounding time and space, as if the whole world was paused. Time, at this moment, lost its meaning of flow, and everything was still.

Then, something incredible happened.

The surrounding time and space began to flow slowly backwards, like a reverse movie, all movements, sounds, and even thoughts were moving in reverse.

Those passers-by who had fallen in the battle before stood up one by one automatically, as if they had never fallen; the destroyed buildings also began to repair themselves, the cracks gradually healed, the fragments reassembled, and everything was returning to its original appearance.

Such a scene, both magical and weird, makes people think deeply about the nature of time.

Strange understood that time reversal was only temporary and it could not fundamentally solve the problem.
