Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1015: Ancient One Departs
"I don't believe I can't kill you with my chop and throw!"

Casillas roared, his eyes filled with madness and resentment.

"So, he gained Dormammu's power, right? What about magic?"

Luther complained.

"Dormamu wouldn't be that generous."

Ancient One shook his head.

There is dark power, but Dormammu is not so generous as to let people like Kaecilius whose souls have already returned to the dark dimension waste it.

To put it bluntly, it's already in your pocket, so why should you spend your own money?

Therefore, Casillas and his men can only deal with it in close combat, unless they encounter Ancient One, then they can use a big move like Mirror Space.

However, just as Strange was about to fall to the ground, the red cloak that had saved him several times came into play again.

It rushed down quickly, like a huge red wing, wrapped Strange in it, then flew up with him and landed steadily on the ground on the second floor.

Moreover, the cloak was automatically put on Strange's body and became one with him.

Casillas' heart tightened when he saw this scene.

He couldn't understand why such a powerful treasure would come to the rescue when his life was at stake and automatically recognize its master.

He had never seen or heard of such a situation.

"This boy... is so terrifying!"

Casillas muttered to himself.

However, the red cloak that recognized its master automatically did not seem to be in harmony with its new owner, Strange. Strange stood up, dusted himself off, and felt the magical power surging in his body.

He understood that he was not at an advantage if he fought Casillas with his bare hands, and he had to find a suitable weapon to defend himself.

He scanned the display room and finally landed on the Xuanhua axe hanging on the wall. The axe had an ancient shape and the blade was shining with cold light. It was obvious at a glance that it was a powerful weapon.

Strange's heart moved and he was about to go over and take it down.

However, at this moment, the red cloak on his body stubbornly pulled him to the other side. Strange was slightly stunned. He could feel the power coming from the cloak, which was both gentle and firm, as if guiding him.

"what happened?"

Strange was puzzled. He tried to break free from the cloak, but found that the power of the cloak was extremely strong and he could not break free easily.

Over and over again, Strange and the cloak were like playing a tug-of-war game, moonwalking in the showroom. Strange rushed left and right, but could not get rid of the cloak's restraints.

With no other options, he had to obey the cloak's instructions, and then successfully used an object to trap Casillas.

Strange had no intention of finishing off the enemy. He was a doctor, not a warrior, and killing people was not something he should do.

Then the scene finally reached its most important climax.

"I…have said everything I need to say."

The Ancient One slowly stretched out his hand and held Strange's hand tightly. At this time, Strange could already feel the aging of the Ancient One, both spiritually and physically.

"This is truly a magnificent view..." There was an imperceptible hint of emotion and relief in Gu Yi's tone.

Her gaze still remained outside the window, as if she wanted to engrave the beautiful scenery of this moment in her heart forever.

"Death gives meaning to life, letting you know that time is short and that you will not have many days left. I have walked on this road for too long and witnessed too many joys and sorrows. Now, I can finally let go of everything and prepare to welcome the final destination."

Strange listened quietly. This mentor who had always guided and taught him was about to embark on a new journey.

And this journey may be a relief for Gu Yi, but for him, it means more responsibilities and challenges.

"Let's see……"

Ancient One's voice sounded again, interrupting Strange's thoughts.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the distant sky. The lightning was like a giant silver dragon, dancing wildly in the air.

However, as time slowed down at this moment, the lightning did not disappear in a flash as usual. Instead, it seemed to be slowly and carefully outlined by a painter's brush. Every ray of light was clearly visible, and every track was full of power and beauty.

"I've never had time to appreciate such a beautiful view before..."

Gu Yi's voice was thin as a thread, filled with deep regret and reluctance, as if every word condensed all the emotions and responsibilities of her life.

Her eyes, which once sparkled with wisdom, were now slowly losing focus, as if she was trying to imprint the beauty before her into the depths of her soul as an eternal mark.

Strange was standing beside Ancient One's bed, and couldn't help but look out the window when he heard that.

The afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire room, and the golden light and the blue sky outside the window intertwined into a moving picture. He felt the deep regret of Gu Yi, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.

He tightly grasped Gu Yi's gradually cooling hand, hoping to draw a little warmth from it. However, the power of life slipped away from his fingers like quicksand.

Suddenly, Strange felt the touch in his hand disappear. He turned back sharply and saw that the soul of Ancient One was gone.

The body had completely lost its vitality, and the eyes that were once full of power were now tightly closed, unable to open again.

His heart seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

"The patient has stopped breathing!"

A doctor shouted anxiously, with a hint of helplessness and regret in his voice.

"We lost her..."

Another doctor echoed in a low voice, his tone full of reverence for life and mourning for the deceased.

They quickly turn to the next emergency response, which is their duty as doctors and their most direct way of dealing with the uncertainty of life and death.

Strange stood there, staring blankly at Ancient One's gradually losing temperature body, his heart filled with an unprecedented heaviness.

Just then, he felt a warm force gently covering his shoulders, and a red cloak was silently draped over him.

The cloak is light and soft, as if it were woven from the finest silk, yet it contains some indescribable power.

When the cloak touched Strange's skin, a warm current instantly surged through his body, dispelling the coldness and sadness in his heart.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the cloak on his shoulders, feeling inexplicably moved and awed.
