Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1016 Nine dragons pulling the coffin, a grand scene!

At this moment, a sudden exclamation came from outside the window, interrupting the deep thoughts that Strange was immersed in. He raised his head suddenly, looking through the window, trying to catch the source of the sudden noise.

Outside the window, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the setting sun was like molten gold, covering the sky and coating the city with a light golden color. However, against the backdrop of this gorgeous sunset, an unprecedented and shocking scene quietly appeared.

Nine huge monsters stretch across the sky, floating there quietly in an incredible posture, neither rising nor falling, as if they have been guarding under this sky since the beginning of the universe, witnessing the vicissitudes of countless years.

These nine figures are exactly nine dragon corpses. Their existence goes beyond all human imagination and cognition. They seem to have jumped out of ancient mythology and are vividly presented before the world.

Each dragon corpse was a hundred meters long, and its body was incredibly sturdy, as if it was cast from the hardest metal - no, it was cast from a material that was countless times tougher than any metal.

The sense of power they emanated made Strange feel an indescribable sense of oppression even from a long distance.

The scales of the dragon's corpse sparkled with mysterious light in the afterglow of the setting sun. Each scale looked like the most exquisite handicraft in nature. After tens of millions of years of carving, it finally presented this breathtaking sight.

The dragon horns are crystal clear and sparkling with purple light, like two dazzling gems plucked from the depths of the galaxy. They are inlaid on the dragon's head, adding a bit of mystery and majesty.

The purple light seemed particularly dazzling under the reflection of the setting sun, as if it could penetrate people's hearts and see deep into their souls.

Strange noticed that these nine dragon corpses were all five-clawed black dragons. Their bodies were completely black and shone with a dark glow. Even at dusk when darkness was about to fall, they still flashed with mysterious light, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

The dragon claws were as sharp as knives, and every knuckle revealed an endless edge, as if a slight scratch could tear through space and sever the boundary between reality and illusion.

Although those tightly closed dragon eyes seem to be asleep, they seem to contain the deepest wisdom and power in the universe, waiting to awaken at some point and reveal all the mysteries to the world.

At this moment, pedestrians on the street stopped and looked up, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

Some people covered their mouths with their hands and widened their eyes in disbelief; others murmured softly, as if trying to capture the shock in words, but found that their own language was so pale and powerless and could not fully express the shock in their hearts.

"God, how is this possible!"

A passerby shouted in horror, his voice echoing in the silent air, full of disbelief and shock.

His hands were clenched into fists and his body was shaking slightly, obviously he was deeply shocked to the depths of his soul by the scene before him.

"I can't believe what I'm seeing?"

Another passerby muttered to himself, his eyes empty, as if he had just experienced a spiritual baptism and had deep doubts about the boundary between reality and illusion.

Although his voice was low, it revealed an indescribable shock and confusion.

In this era of highly developed science and technology, the existence of God has long been obscured by the light of science and is regarded as a synonym for falsehood and superstition.

People have constructed the entire world with rational thinking, classifying all unknowns as "unsolved mysteries", waiting for the advancement of science and technology to solve them one by one.

However, at this moment, everyone was shocked by the nine dragon corpses in the sky. Their minds seemed to be touched by an invisible force, and they began to re-examine the nature and truth of this world. Strange's heart was also in turmoil. He has always believed that the power of science can explain everything. Of course, now it is magic.

However, the scene before him plunged him into deep confusion and bewilderment.

He almost doubted whether this was a drama carefully arranged by a demon from some dimension in order to challenge the limits of human cognition.

Just as Strange was immersed in deep thought, a more intense exclamation suddenly broke out inside the hospital, pulling him back from his thoughts.

He turned quickly, his eyes passing through the crowded crowd, and fell on Gu Yi's body.

This legendary Supreme Sorcerer, the hero who had protected the Earth from darkness countless times, was now lying quietly on a stretcher with a peaceful face, as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep.

But what was even more shocking was that Master Ancient One's body began to slowly rise, as if being gently held up by an invisible, gentle yet powerful hand.

Her body was surrounded by circles of faint blue light, which was soft and warm, like the brightest stars in the night sky, emitting an indescribable sense of peace and guidance.

Under the shining of this light, everything around seemed to be eclipsed, leaving only Master Ancient One and the blue light, becoming the most dazzling existence in the world, guiding the lost.

The staff members who were originally preparing to send Gu Yi to the morgue seemed to be frozen at this moment, with fear and confusion written all over their faces.

They looked at each other, trying to find the answer from each other's eyes, but all they got was more confusion. Strange's heart moved, and he realized that all this was not accidental, but the manifestation of some supernatural power.

He walked quickly to the window and looked at the nine dragon corpses again, with an unprecedented curiosity and desire surge in his heart.

He wanted to uncover the truth behind all of this, wanted to know whether there was some connection between these dragon corpses and the death of Ancient One, and whether there were deeper secrets hidden behind all of this.

Strange tried to get closer to the Ancient One's body, wanting to stop her from being taken away by an invisible force.

He stretched out his hand, trying to catch the faint blue light, but every time he got close, he felt a strong repulsion, as if an irresistible force was stopping him.

He tried several times, but failed every time. He was even knocked back several steps by the force and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Gu Yi's body suddenly accelerated and flew directly out of the hospital window, disappearing into the night.

Strange struggled to get up, ran to the window, and looked at the empty night sky, his heart filled with powerlessness and anger.

"No, Master Ancient One!"

He cried out in a low voice, his voice filled with deep sorrow and resentment.

He could not accept that the Supreme Sorcerer who had devoted thousands of years to the Earth would eventually leave in this way, being taken away by an unknown mysterious force and unable to rest in the peaceful place she deserved.
