Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1036: Dark Kamar-Taj and White Magic Kamar-Taj
This conversation echoed in the ancient halls of Kamar-Taj. The air seemed to freeze, and every word was like a sharp blade, cutting the hearts of everyone present.

Under the dim light, the ancient stone pillars cast mottled shadows, adding a sense of historical heaviness to the debate.

Mordo, the man who was once regarded as the most loyal disciple of the Ancient One, now has a face full of determination and pain.

His eyes seemed to be wrapped in thousand-year-old ice, flashing with anger at the past and worry about the future.

"She told us what to do, but she herself drew power from the dark space and maintained her life for thousands of years. It was a forbidden power. She should have set an example, but instead she became an outlier among us. Now she has paid the price, but her actions have caused irreversible consequences."

His hand pointed into the distance, as if he wanted to pass through the wall and point directly to that bygone era.

"Didn't you see? Her illegal behavior brought countless fanatics to Dormammu, and Kaecilius was a big mistake she made. He was originally a potential wizard, but because of her indulgence, he embarked on the evil path and became a real dark wizard. That's not all. In the end, we all became her pawns. It was she who put our world in danger."

Mordo said with unspeakable sorrow.

His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. The mages of the Hong Kong Temple looked at each other, some in shock, some in confusion, and some with deep sympathy.

Among them, some were direct disciples of Master Ancient One, while others found their own path through Ancient One's guidance. Everyone has an inseparable affection and admiration for Ancient One.

Strange, the young Sorcerer Supreme, stood among the crowd with a complicated expression in his eyes.

As the person who served the Ancient One, the Supreme Sorcerer, until his death, he witnessed with his own eyes the sacrifices that the Ancient One made to protect the world. On those unknown nights, the Ancient One faced the invasion of the dark dimension alone, using her wisdom and strength to resolve the crisis time and time again.

Behind every decision made by Gu Yi, there are endless hardships and considerations.

"There's no need to talk about these things now. Everything is over."

Strange's voice was calm and firm. He tried to calm down this pointless dispute and get everyone back to reality and face the more pressing issues at hand.

However, Mordo's emotions were like a ignited flame that could not be quelled.

"Yeah, it's all over."

Mordo sneered, his voice filled with endless sarcasm and self-mockery.

He turned and looked at Strange, his eyes full of provocation and questioning.

"You managed to save the temple, so you also broke the laws of nature. You still think it's no big deal, right? You all think it's no big deal, right?!"

Mordo's tone was full of sarcasm and unwillingness. His gaze stayed on Strange for a moment, then swept across everyone present.

Strange frowned, he knew that what Mordo said was not groundless.

It is an undeniable fact that their behavior has indeed broken the rules.

However, he also understood that everything they did was to protect the world and to stop Dormammu's invasion.

"Modu, we are all for this world."

Strange's voice was low and powerful, and he tried to make Mordo understand their position. However, Mordo was obviously already trapped in his own obsession and could not extricate himself.

"Think there are no consequences? We broke the rules like she did, and there will be consequences sooner or later. It's destined, karma!"

Mordo's voice became louder and louder, and his emotions were completely out of control. Wanda couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked up and stood next to Strange.

"Strange is just a novice. He has been in Kamar-Taj the shortest time of all the people present. But he risked his life to protect this world. I also gave up my own life. But you are accusing him of breaking the rules? Then let me ask you, Master Mordo, when you can't even get through today, you are considering what price you will pay tomorrow. Isn't this a very stupid behavior?"

Wanda's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mordo's heart hard.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wanda with wide eyes.

"You're defending him? You're defending her too?!"

Wanda met Mordo's gaze without fear.

"I'm just telling the truth. The Sorcerer Supreme has been protecting this world with the least costly method. She has sacrificed everything to protect this world. And what have you sacrificed? What qualifications do you have to criticize her?!"

Mordo's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head, as if thinking about Wanda's words.

After a long while, he raised his head, looked at everyone and shook his head.

"I'm not qualified. But I don't want to go on like this."

After saying this, he looked at everyone deeply, then turned and left.

His back looked particularly lonely and desolate under the dim light, as if he was a person abandoned by the world.

With Mordo's departure, unprecedented cracks appeared within Kamar-Taj.

Some people, represented by Strange and Wanda, believe that in the face of increasingly powerful dark forces, more flexible and practical measures must be taken, including studying and applying the energy of the dark dimension to enhance their own defense and counterattack capabilities.

They founded the "Kama-Taj of Dark Magic" and are dedicated to exploring unknown forces and finding new ways to protect the world.

They began to delve into the mysteries of dark magic, trying to find the power to fight against more enemies and dimensional demons.

The other is the "White Magic Kamar-Taj" which is based on the "White Magic of the Book of Vishanti" and is dominated by Mordo. They adhere to the traditional white magic beliefs and refuse to accept the power of the dark dimension.

They believe that dark magic is an evil existence and only white magic is the embodiment of justice.

They began to intensify the practice and research of white magic, trying to defend the world by enhancing their own power.

Both sides firmly believed that they were right and believed that they were the real force to protect the world. They began to grow and develop in their respective fields, gradually forming two completely different factions.

"I can only say that it was incredible. As soon as he came to power, he split Kamar-Taj apart."

Luther felt that the development of his own universe was much more interesting.

"Modu is worthy of being your eldest disciple. He is stubborn, stupid, and inflexible."

Luther said to the air.

But it wasn't air, it was Ancient One.
