Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

The side of the Ring of Raghadore slashed viciously at the heartless demon charging at the front.

Sparks flew as a crack appeared in the Heartless One's rock-like skin, but it did not stop and continued to swing its giant fist at Strange.

Strange dodged to the side, his massive fist slamming into the stair railing, sending splinters flying.

A dark ray suddenly shot out from the single eye of the other mindless demon, heading straight for Strange's chest.

Strange immediately crossed his arms and raised a runic shield in front of him to block.

The beam struck the shield, and the enormous impact caused Strange to slide along the ground until he crashed into the wall before coming to a stop.

"Cough..." Strange coughed a few times in pain.

In order to master superhuman magic in a short period of time, he overexerted himself and his physical strength was nearing its limit.

But the Heartless Demons gave him no chance to breathe, and swarmed him again.

Dark energy shot wildly through the temple hall, blasting ancient artifacts and bookshelves to pieces.

Casillas moved like a ghost behind the army of mindless demons.

He conjured two transparent spatial blades in his hands, and, seizing the opportunity when Strange was surrounded by the Heartless Demons, he hurled them out.

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the air, silently approaching Strange's head.

Strange's cloak suddenly tugged at his shoulder, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

But the sharp blade still sliced ​​through his neck, leaving a bloody gash.

"Hiss—" Strange touched the wound on his neck, a chill running down his spine.

"You won't last much longer, Doctor. Give up the fight and join the darkness."

Casillas missed his attack and immediately created distance, speaking coldly.

Seeing the Heartless Demons closing in again, Strange knew that conventional magic was no longer enough to resolve the crisis.

It seems we have no choice but to resort to that forbidden spell.

Strange's breathing became rapid, and he began to form unknown hand seals.

But just as he clasped his hands together...

"Snap—!"

The temple hall was like a giant mirror shattered.

The surrounding environment underwent a dramatic change in an instant.

This is... a mirror space?!

Just as Strange was wondering...

The next moment, a figure in a yellow robe appeared out of thin air.

The Supreme Master, the Ancient One.

Her face was solemn, and she held two golden magic folding fans in her hands.

The moment she appeared, the Ancient One's figure transformed into a blurry afterimage, rushing directly towards a heartless demon.

"Whoosh!"

The folding fan sliced ​​into the heartless demon's knee joint without any resistance, and the monster's massive body lost its balance and fell.

Gu Yi used the momentum to leap into the air, and used another folding fan to slash open its single red eye.

The monster's energy core was destroyed and turned to ashes.

The Ancient One's movements were fluid and graceful, exuding the unparalleled demeanor of a grandmaster.

After dealing with one of them, she didn't stop, but continued to clear out the approaching Heartless Demons.

In just over ten seconds, nearly half of the Heartless Demons who were besieging Strange were eliminated.

But Casillas remained completely unfazed.

He knew he was no match for the Ancient One, and from the beginning, his target was Strange.

Casillas slammed his hands on the ground, forcibly interfering with the mirror space.

The two walls twisted instantly, squeezing Strand between them, leaving him unable to move.

Without stopping, Kaecilius conjured a spatial spear nearly two meters long and hurled it forcefully toward Strange's chest.

The attack was swift and brutal, leaving Strange no time to defend himself.

"Strange!"

The Ancient One sensed the danger. Without hesitation, she abandoned her pursuit of the Heartless Demon and immediately activated her spatial displacement magic.

In a flash, the Ancient One and Strange switched places.

"Pfft!"

The spatial spear pierced the Ancient One's abdomen, and the immense penetrating force sent her flying backward.

Casillas seized the opportunity and raised his hand to unleash the spell.

A spatial portal suddenly opened along the path of the Ancient One as she flew backwards.

Gu rushed straight into the portal.

The other end of the portal opened a hundred meters above Manhattan.

The Ancient One's body plummeted rapidly under the influence of gravity.

Feeling the howling wind rushing past her ears, there was no fear in her eyes, only a serene peace.

The day has finally come.

She had lived too long and knew that this was her destined end.

Gu Yi slowly closed her eyes, accepting everything with equanimity.

However, the expected pulverization did not occur.

When she was still dozens of meters above the ground, she suddenly felt her falling body stop and land in a firm embrace.

Gu Yi opened his eyes.

What came into view was Azu's familiar face with a charming smile.

"Master, you're being naughty. I told you before, don't do anything rash."

Azu looked down at the Ancient One in his arms and teased her.

This was the first time in all her years that Gu Yi had been held in a man's arms in this way.

Azu's hot breath hit her cheek, causing even the usually calm and composed Supreme Master to show a slightly unnatural expression.

She immediately composed herself, enduring the excruciating pain in her abdomen, and maintained her authoritative voice.

"Put me down, Anthony. Go save Strange, Casillas is after him!"

"Don't worry, Master. He'll be fine. I'll take care of everything," Azu nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing Ah Zu's promise, Gu Yi felt a sense of relief and fainted.

Azu gently placed the Ancient One on a flat rooftop, preparing to tear open the barrier of the mirror dimension to retrieve her.

"Click."

A sharp crack echoed from the space ahead, and a figure stumbled and fell out from the shattered spatial rift.

It was Strange, who had already emerged from the space and landed on the same rooftop.

He looked up, panting.

When he recognized the person standing not far away as Ah Zu, he exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher...you're back?"

"The whole world is saying you're dead!"

"Obviously, the rumors are wrong." Azu shrugged.

Strange then noticed the Ancient One lying to the side, suppressed his questions, and quickly asked...

"How is Master Gu Yi?"

"He's badly injured, but he won't die," Azu replied.

Strange breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Ancient One was seriously injured while saving him, and if the Ancient One died, he would carry the guilt for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile, Azu's sharp gaze swept over Strange from head to toe.

"What happened inside? Where are the Casillas?"

"And Strange, you look terrible."

Strange's eyes flickered, deliberately avoiding Azu's gaze.

"Casillas... He left suddenly after injuring the Ancient One."

"Maybe...maybe they feel they've already achieved their goal."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Azu crossed his arms and looked at Strange with a half-smile.
