Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1010 Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, the Supreme Sorcerer’s Card!

Luther's heart was moved when he heard this.

He vaguely felt that what Master Ancient One said might not be a good thing.

However, he did not show it, and continued: "Oh? What kind of ceremony is it?"

Master Ancient One was silent for a while, as if he was recalling something.

Then, she slowly said, "It was a ceremony I had never seen before. The black man carrying the coffin was only a part of it. I have also seen even more shocking scenes - on Kunlun Mountain, all spirits were worshipping, dark clouds were rolling, and nine dragons were pulling the emerald green coffin of the gods from the sky. People all said: When the immortal passed away, the thunder of heaven welcomed him back to his place; nine dragons pulled the coffin, and the coffin of the gods buried the immortal body."

After hearing this, Luther had an indescribable expression on his face, a mixture of surprise, admiration, and a hint of amusement.

Nine dragons pulling a coffin. Will my future self play such a big game?
You know what, it’s really fun!
Nine dragons pulling a coffin, such a scene was difficult to fully describe even with his wild imagination.

He had originally intended to bid farewell to the Sorcerer Supreme in a relaxed or even humorous way, such as using the popular Internet meme "black people carrying coffins" as a joke, or hosting a unique "Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi Tou Qi Cup Singing Contest" to make this farewell full of laughter rather than sadness.

But at this moment, Luther's mind changed completely.

Nine dragons pulling the coffin is not only a respect for the deceased, but also the highest praise for his life's achievements.

Ancient One, a powerful existence who has been silently guarding mankind for thousands of years, resisting the invasion of dimensional demons countless times, and preventing external forces such as Asgard from interfering with the earth. Her efforts and sacrifices are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not only did she defeat several dimensional demons with her own hands, but she also stood up at the critical moment when Asgard intended to conquer the earth, and used her wisdom and strength to safeguard the independence and freedom of the earth.

The Ancient One also personally created Kamar-Taj and trained generations of disciples. They are spread all over the world, using the skills they have learned to guard every inch of land and resist the invasion from the dark dimension.

Every effort she makes is as bright as a star, illuminating the way forward for mankind.

Luther couldn't help but feel a strong urge in his heart. He wanted to do something for Master Ancient One to commemorate her legendary life.

Although the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin sounds absurd, this absurdity actually contains endless respect and remembrance for Master Ancient One.

He believed that only such a spectacular ceremony could be worthy of the great and glorious life of the Ancient One.

"Your Majesty, I see your malicious intent."

Ancient One said helplessly.

This kind of malice is so obvious, can't you restrain yourself a little?

"Sorry, you misread it."

Luther would naturally not admit it.

Where does he plan to find the nine-headed dragon to pull the coffin next, or just create one himself?
Gu Yi didn't care about him. Let him do whatever he wants. Anyway, she would soon follow the Eternal God, and by then all these things would be nothing but passing clouds... Although it still felt too much.

Strange was finally brought back by Mordo and joined Kamar-Taj.

However, the good times did not last long. Just like the brilliant but short-lived fireworks in summer, more than a month passed by in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Strange's learning journey seemed to have undergone a transformation from winter to summer. When he first arrived, he seemed to be in a completely unfamiliar world, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

Strange, the genius doctor who once aspired to be a doctor, had his thinking tightly bound by rigorous scientific logic. Faced with the bizarre magic of Kamar-Taj, he seemed at a loss, like a traveler lost in the fog, unable to find the direction to move forward.

In the early days, Strange tried to understand the complex magical theories and spells, but to him it was like learning a completely unfamiliar foreign language, which had no rules to follow and its essence was elusive.

He tried hard to construct a model of magic in his mind, but found that he couldn't even draw a simple magic circle completely.

Every time this happened, a trace of frustration and confusion would flash across his face, which was a deep fear and uneasiness of the unknown.

As a leader who was once immersed in the temple of medicine, my belief in science is deeply rooted.

In his worldview, everything has its reason and everything can be explained by logic and experiments.

However, when he stepped into this fantasy world and faced those magical phenomena that seemed to violate the laws of nature, his heart was filled with struggle and resistance.

He tried to look at all this with a scientific eye, but found that the complex magic circles, the flowing magic power, and the spells of Master Ancient One that seemed understated but could rewrite reality were far beyond his cognition.

During those first few weeks, Strange nearly reached the depths of despair.

He tried to draw the simplest magic circle, but his hands seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and he could not leave any trace in the air.

Every attempt he made ended in failure, and the feeling of powerlessness almost consumed him.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would sit alone in the dim light, looking at the stars outside the window, and a deep sense of frustration would well up in his heart.

He began to doubt his choice and even had the idea of ​​giving up.

Just when Strange was about to be completely overwhelmed by despair, the Ancient One arranged an unprecedented life and death test for him.

That is to say, if he is thrown into an extremely cold place, he will freeze to death there unless he uses the hanging ring to open the portal before freezing to death.

At that moment, he felt unprecedented fear and despair, but it was this fear that stimulated his deepest potential.

At the critical moment of life and death, he seemed to hear a call from deep in his heart, which was a longing for an unknown power and a strong desire for self-transcendence.

At that moment, Strange seemed to be touched by some mysterious power.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his arms, as if establishing some connection with the surrounding air and the entire universe.

When he opened his eyes again, a ball of brilliant magic had gathered in his hands. It was a powerful force he had never experienced before.

Then he successfully opened the portal and returned to Kamar-Taj from the extreme cold.

From that day on, Strange's learning path seemed to be completely opened up.

He no longer resisted those seemingly incredible magical phenomena, but understood and accepted them from a completely new perspective.
