Chapter 157 Breaking the Rules (Part [-])
Heavenly Sword, Commander's Office.

The global magic energy scan has been completed, Shirley drew a curve according to Michael's instructions, and intuitively projected the result on his desk in three dimensions.Michael observed these readings, reached out and moved the model on the table, with a dignified expression.

The situation is clearly not optimistic.The magic net that has guarded the world for thousands of years has been severely damaged, two of the three major temples have fallen, and only the Hong Kong temple is still struggling to support it.The thick darkness is like a huge invisible palm holding the whole earth in his hand, the whole world is covered with dark clouds, and the powerful dark magic power is hidden in the thick dark clouds.Although people in the world have not yet realized what they are facing, everyone has already felt the ubiquitous force oppressing their hearts like lead.

"Sir, Miss Maximov is outside the door, she wants to see you," Shirley said.

"No interview, tell her I'm busy and out of the office."

"She insisted on seeing her and said she would wait for you at the door."

"...well, let her in."

The door slid open with a beep.The little red-haired witch with her red leather jacket and black lining walked in quickly, and asked straight to the point: "What happened? Don't fool me and say it's just some small situation. I can sense it even here. A powerful force covering the entire earth is black magic, right? Something huge has happened, hasn't it?"

Michael looked at her: "Is the rest of the team aware too?"

"No one noticed except me, but everyone more or less had a premonition that something big might happen." Wanda paused, then asked again, "What happened?"

"You're right, there's something going on. But I'm dealing with it."

"What about us? Shouldn't we help?" Wanda asked, "Isn't that the original purpose of this team?"

"The main task of the team is to solve the problem that I will not deal with personally, and I have already said that I am already dealing with this trouble." Michael paused, "Furthermore, this incident is not something the team can handle. .It involves dark magic - the very, very powerful kind."

"But I can help"

"That's why I need you to stay here." Michael interrupted her.He walked up to Wanda, lowered his head and met her black eyes.

"You are the only person on this ship who has the ability to deal with magical disasters, and you are also one of the few people I highly trust." He said seriously, "So I need you to stay here in case of disasters Range extends to this ship. I can trust you, can't I?"

Wanda was taken aback.

It seemed as if Michael had said something like this to her for the first time. In fact, she didn't seem to have seen Michael say that to anyone.

She felt a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously avoided his sight by lowering her head.

"I'm... doing my best," she whispered.

"I know you can do it. Well, I have a lot of things to do now. Why don't you go back and rest first."

Wanda nodded and backed out.

Now moving on to the main question.Michael raised his hand and drew a circle, opened the spell portal, and walked in.

***
New York Temple.

It used to be one of the three holy temples guarding the planet, and it was an important part of the huge magic protection network.But now it has fallen.Half of the cone-shaped roof collapsed, and large black thick rocks were scattered on the floor. It was full of dust and rubble as far as the eye could see, as if five or six rocket bombs were thrown in from outside to blow up this scene.

Master Modu stood silently in the middle of the ruins, looking somewhere absent-minded, as if his soul had been sucked away.

Modu is also a mage of Kama Taj, a disciple of the supreme mage Guyi.He was the most loyal follower of Ancient One, he regarded all the words of the Supreme Mage as the truth, and unswervingly carried out all her instructions.Until he found out that his master was a liar.She warned all disciples that the dark dimension is extremely dangerous, and those related black magic formulas must not be used under any circumstances.But at the same time, she herself has been using these forbidden techniques to draw power from the dark dimension and prolong her life.

Modu is a stickler, and can even be said to be quite rigid.He has great prejudices against things like breaking the rules and using extraordinary means, so he can't forgive the "betrayal" behavior of his most admired mentor.

Now, his worldview has collapsed.He didn't know what to do next.

There were sparks in the air, and Stephen Strange, wearing a red cloak, stepped into the wasteland and stopped beside him.

Strange was originally a surgeon, but his hands were left with serious sequelae due to an accident, and he was no longer able to operate.He originally found Karma Taj in search of a cure and became a mage.Before today, he had no interest in becoming a guardian against the Dark Demon God, but not long ago he watched the Ancient One die in the hospital bed in New York.A long talk with the dying supreme mage changed his mind and made him decide to inherit the career of the ancient one mage.

But now that Dormammu is coming, the messenger of the evil god Casillas and others are far stronger than them, and their chances of winning are slim.

Now they need to gather as many people as possible, gather as many forces as possible.

Strange stopped behind Mordu, remained silent for a moment, and said, "She's dead."

Modu was silent for a while, and said: "You were right before." He turned around slowly, "She is not the person I thought."

"She's actually conflicted."

"Contradictions." Modu shook his head and smiled mockingly, "The dark space is a dangerous place. What if she fails to control those forces? What if she is swallowed by darkness?"

Mo Du became more emotional.

"She told us not to do it, but she herself drew energy from the darkness and continued her life for hundreds of years."

"She just did what she thought was right." Strange said.

"So the price came in the end." Modu said, "Her illegal actions have sent Dormammu countless fanatical followers. And Casillas, that was also her big mistake. This is still Not counting, even we all became her pawns in the end."

"Forget it, Mordo."

The third person's voice sounded, and a new spell portal opened behind them at some point.The two turned their heads, and Michael in a windbreaker walked out of the door slowly, and the circle closed behind him.

"Master Gu Yi may have made mistakes." Michael said coldly, "But one thing is certain, that is, it is not your turn to judge her affairs."
