American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 704 Crisis of Trust
"Mike, how's the situation? What about Dormammu?"

When Mike stepped out of the Mirror Dimension, Strange, who was waiting outside, quickly came to greet him.

As for the streets of Hong Kong, the chaos did not escalate further because Mike had pulled Dormammu into the mirror space in time.

The unrest that occurred has been largely quelled by Baron Mordo and the three old wizards.

Furthermore, the dark energy emanating from around the HK Temple was almost entirely absorbed by the Scarlet Witch and transformed into her own chaotic power.

Furthermore, with the protection of the White Magic Codex, the Scarlet Witch, who gained even stronger chaotic power, still maintained her sanity.

“It’s all over now. Dormammu has returned to his dark dimension and shouldn’t be coming back anytime soon,” Mike replied to Strange, then nodded to the worried girl beside him.

"It's rare to have good news." Hearing that the formidable enemy had left, Strange felt he finally had a chance to catch his breath.

He experienced Kaecilius's betrayal and the death of the previous Sorcerer Supreme.

Adding to that, Dormammu's invasion has left them utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Of course, having caught his breath, he still had an even more important task to complete: to quickly rebuild the Temple's defensive network while Dormammu was away.

After calming down a bit, Strange quickly went back to the streets of Hong Kong to search for Baron Mordo and the three old wizards.

Rebuilding the temple's defenses will not be easy; it will require the support of all the wizards in Kamar-Taj.

This leads to another issue.

That is, Strange must first explain to the wizards in Kamar-Taj the betrayal of Kaecilius and the death of the First Ancient Wizard before he can possibly reunite the power there.

Baron Mordo and the three old wizards, as witnesses to the entire event, can serve as testimonies for Strange, thus enhancing his persuasiveness.

"That enemy looked really strong. Are you alright?" As Strange went to look for someone, Scarlet Witch, like a dutiful wife, came to Mike's side and checked him over from head to toe.

"I'm fine, Dormammu can't hurt me at all." Mike shook his head, but still opened his arms to let Scarlet Witch examine him.

It feels nice to be cared for.

Seeing the girl's gentle expression, Mike asked with concern, "Tell me, after absorbing so much dark energy, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I'm fine too. I feel like I have inexhaustible energy in my body." Hearing the concern, Scarlet Witch smiled as well.

Compared to before, the chaotic power within the girl's body has increased at least several times.

Once the girl learns how to use them, her abilities will immediately improve dramatically.

Reaching the level of a single universe is not impossible.

Of course, even now, with her immense power of chaos, Scarlet Witch is probably slightly stronger than Strange, who wields the Time Stone.

Similar to: One force can overcome ten techniques.

Even if Strange is a magical genius and has the Time Stone to help him, the only way to deal with the Scarlet Witch now would probably be to use that cheap time loop spell to restrain the girl.

Of course, it's merely a check and balance.

If Scarlet Witch chooses to ignore Strange in the time loop, Strange will be powerless against her.

Similarly, Dormammu, who was previously trapped in the time loop, could have bypassed Strange and ruled the world directly.

Unfortunately, while Dormammu is a powerful dimensional demon, he doesn't seem to be very bright.

He was provoked by Strange from the start and fell into a trap.

From a certain perspective, Dormammu can be considered a "straightforward" demon.

While Mike was chatting with Scarlet Witch, Strange, who had gone to find someone, returned shortly with three old wizards.

As for Baron Mordo, he seems to have his own ideas and has chosen to leave Kamar-Taj.

"Mike, thank you for your help this time. See you next time~" Strange, who still had a lot of mess to clean up, greeted Mike and then led the three old wizards to open the portal to Kamar-Taj.

It's clear that he wasn't in a very good mood.

It's probably because they couldn't bring back Baron Mordo.

"Then let's get together again sometime." Mike waved goodbye to Strange.

As for Baron Mordo's whereabouts, Strange didn't mention it, and Mike naturally didn't ask any further questions.

He's just an insignificant person, not worth Mike's time and effort.

After watching Strange and the others leave, Mike, along with Scarlet Witch, returned to their villa in Apple City through a portal.

"Mike, how's the wizard thing going?"

Iron Man, having dealt with the aftermath of the Apple City riots, waited at the villa.

Accompanying him were a group of Avengers members and street heroes like Spider-Man.

The commotion caused by Kaecilius and his fellow Mammus fanatics this time, while smaller than the previous alien invasion, had just as severe an impact. Moreover, it involved mysterious magical powers and the equally mysterious Kamar-Taj.

Therefore, Iron Man and the others need an answer.

Or rather, it needs to be confirmed that those wizards will not cause any more trouble.

"Don't worry, the troublemakers have been dealt with. Riots like this shouldn't happen again," Mike gave a definitive answer.

Dormammu, such a powerful dimensional demon, is a rare sight.

In other words, even if the wizards in Kamar-Taj wanted to cause trouble again, without the powerful demon Dormammu's support, they probably wouldn't be able to make much of a splash.

"Great, I knew there wouldn't be any problems with you here... It's all Steve's fault for insisting on waiting here..." Iron Man smiled and then readily blamed the entire operation on Captain America.

"I...I didn't..." Captain America quickly explained, and nodded amicably to Mike.

Captain America still has great respect for Michael, this kind-hearted and mysterious strongman.

"It's great that the problem is solved and everyone is together again. Let's have a party!" Iron Man didn't give Captain America much of a chance to explain before extending the party invitation.

Moreover, after the Ultron incident, there was a clear rift between the Avengers members, so this is a good opportunity for them to open up to each other and repair their relationships.

Mutual trust is especially important for a team.

In addition, young people like Spider-Man and Quicksilver in Street Heroes also yearn to have parties.

Thus, an impromptu party was held in the villa.

Of course, food and drinks were provided by Tony, a super-rich man.

He first sent his AI assistant to Stark Tower on Friday to retrieve his treasured wines, and then, at the request of Deadpool and others, he had the AI ​​assistant order fried chicken legs, pizza, beer, and other common food items from outside.

With Deadpool, Spider-Man, and other talkative characters enlivening the atmosphere, the party quickly became lively.

"Moritz, you're not old enough to drink alcohol yet. Go back and drink your beverage." Mike, who was having a heart-to-heart talk with Black Widow, caught a glimpse of Hit-Girl's little gesture out of the corner of his eye.

Taking advantage of the commotion, the little girl secretly stole a bottle of beer from the table.

It's fair to say that compared to rare wines, caviar, foie gras, and other high-end foods, fried chicken and beer are still the most popular choices at parties.

Hit-Girl was envious and wanted to join in.

Unexpectedly, Mike, who was busy with his work, discovered it.

The little girl had a sudden inspiration and blinked her big eyes pleadingly at her father.

As a single father and anti-hero, Big Daddy, who had trained Moritz in killing techniques, naturally wouldn't care about the little girl's drinking problem.

However, Big Daddy also knew in his heart what was truly good for Moritz.

It's a good thing that someone is helping him take care of his youngest daughter.

So, when Moritz asked for help, Big Daddy simply turned his head away and chose to ignore him.

"Put the beer down now!" Mike urged.

"Hmph~" HitGirl, having failed to get help, angrily put her beer back on the table.

Then he sat down next to Quicksilver and Spider-Man and started drinking sparkling water.

"It's a real shame that Thor and Dr. Banner aren't here at a time like this. I wonder how Dr. Banner is doing now." In the midst of the lively atmosphere, Tony, the big mouth, suddenly brought up two veteran Avengers members for some unknown reason.

Although he didn't name names, those in the know understand that he was criticizing Captain America.

After all, Captain America had previously criticized Dr. Banner during the Ultron incident.

Dr. Banner's departure was largely due to his guilt over the incident.

As Tony spoke, the gazes of Black Widow, Hawkeye, and others subtly focused on Captain America.

"I don't think I'm wrong. The public shouldn't have to pay for our recklessness," Captain America responded strongly.

This instantly ruined the good atmosphere of the party.

Seeing that Tony was about to say something more, Hawkeye quickly spoke up to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, Tony, stop talking. Dr. Banner's situation isn't entirely the captain's fault."

"Did I say anything?" Tony, who couldn't keep a secret, raised his glass and said, "To our team, and to Banner and Thor who left, cheers!"

Okay, he was deliberately targeting Captain America.

He was very unhappy with the other party's businesslike attitude.
