Dr. Strange, who was firmly destined by will, finally found the patient Jonathan Pangborn who recovered from his disability.
He once refused Jonathan's medical treatment because the operation had no chance of success.
What is both strange and normal is that this Jonathan still remembers Strange's rejection at the time, and doesn't seem to be willing to let bygones be bygones.
As soon as Strange asked, Jonathan told him about his recovery experience and the most important place - Kamar-Taj.
Then, Strange, whose destiny is in his own hands, set out to search the world for Kamar-Taj.
Luke didn't even bother to pay attention.
Where is Kamar-Taj? It doesn't matter.
With Ancient One's means, she can open a portal wherever she needs to be.
This bald female tycoon usually lives at 177A Bleecker Street in Manhattan. When she has nothing to do, she can go out to buy a cup of milk tea or sit on the rooftop to bask in the sun.
In the lineage of the Supreme Sorcerer, the most important thing is always people—even knowledge is not the most important thing.
Because only those who are "qualified" can learn their spells.
To be more precise, the level of learning depends on how "qualified" the person is.
Otherwise, when the war in 2023 broke out, hundreds of Kamar-Taj wizards appeared. Why was there no second Ancient One, or even a second Strange
You know, Strange died in 2018, and it took him just over two years from his entry to becoming the Sorcerer Supreme.
But they learn quickly and have strong abilities.
Other wizards have been training in Kamar-Taj for more than ten or even dozens of years, but Strange is one or two levels stronger than them, which is totally unreasonable.
After returning from 2023, Luke learned of the existence of Master Strange.
He cut off all possibilities for Strange to enter the circle of the big boss who sells everything, and at the same time set reminders to prevent any recoverable items from falling into the hands of this doctor.
In fact, if Strange wants to return to the ranks of top surgeons, Luke has many ways to do it.
The Life Potion and the Life Light Dagger were limited edition products, so it was normal that Strange couldn't get them after he had asked.
But other similar nanomedical treatments, or even amputation and the replacement of two Stark Group's simulated prosthetic limbs, can also achieve the same goal.
Fortunately, Strange "forgot" the "conventional" option of amputation, and soon followed the "predetermined process" to find Kamar-Taj.
What is the one in ten thousand chance that this result is what Master Ancient One saw? Luke pondered in his heart.
However, the product he created is believed to have cured Strange's hands "several times".
The supplier's methods are too wild, and the big boss Gu Yi obviously doesn't want to waste too much energy, so it's more convenient to just mention it casually.
Once it was confirmed that Strange had contact with Kamar-Taj, Luke withdrew any attention he had paid to him.
Now that the people are in Ancient One's hands, any problems that arise will not be Luke's problem.
At this time, he still sent people to keep an eye on him every day. What did he want to do
…
It was not until March 2017 that Su Rui's second draft of the stone removal plan was fully verified.
On March 1st, Vision officially underwent surgery and it was successful.
After losing the Mind Gem, Vision's energy output was greatly weakened, but in essence he did not rely on the Mind Gem to survive.
He is a combination of vibranium body + Jarvis program + Mind Gem + Thor's power of thunder.
The Mind Gem and Thor's intelligence allowed Jarvis' program to perfectly integrate with his vibranium body. After completing this process, the Mind Gem could be considered his "heart".
Thanos directly took out the heart, so of course Vision would die.
Su Rui's surgery is more like removing the old heart and allowing his body to quickly "cultivate" a new heart.
This new heart does not have its own energy source like the Mind Gem, but it is completely controlled by Vision. It no longer needs to be on his forehead all the time, but can be any part of his vibranium body.
Simply put, what Vision lost was his strongest and weakest "weak point".
There is no distinction between good and bad, gains and losses.
But this was also Luke's own choice after he and Vision analyzed various possibilities.
Vision himself was very satisfied with the result.
As an alien, his abilities are enough to protect himself, and he does not need uncontrollable power like the Infinity Stones.
Sometimes, he really felt like a puppet restricted by the gem.
Without this gem, he is a completely independent and intelligent individual.
So in the afternoon after the operation, he felt really good about himself, thanked Luke solemnly, and then flew away, gone.
Shu Rui stood beside Luke and asked uncertainly, "Well, this kind of removal surgery is the first time I've done it. Can't he stay here for a few more days for observation?"
Luke shook his head: "No need, he has been in contact with the Avengers. If he really falls down during the flight, someone will dig him out."
Shuri thought of the scene of Vision being stuck into the ground and couldn't help laughing.
As an alien, Vision is still quite "cool".
Things like silent drifting, passing through walls, and shape-changing are just a matter of thought, and are much cooler than Luke's superpowers.
Coupled with the occasional strange logic of non-human intelligence, Shu Rui has always thought that this big figure is very cool, but after hearing what Luke said, he suddenly felt it became more approachable.
The good mood after solving this troublesome matter lasted for two days, and then Luke learned another bad news.
The original in New York looked at the surveillance footage on a certain street and approached with a suspicious look on his face: "Is this... the Ancient One?"
In the picture, Ancient One, dressed in a yellow wizard robe, fell from mid-air of a building to the sidewalk below. There was a large area of blood on his chest and abdomen, and the amount of bleeding was obviously very heavy.
“Could this be performance art of leading by example?” Luke couldn’t help but wonder.
Afterwards, Strange, dressed in a wizard robe, appeared and sent Ancient One to the hospital with an anxious look on his face.
Luke frowned. "Strange was stabbed into the hospital this morning, and now the teacher is like this. Is Kamar-Taj's teaching so hard to recruit disciples?"
Immediately, he thought of the Kamar-Taj wizard in 2023.
Basically, they would light up the orange-red runes on their hands, and then rush forward to punch and kick Thanos' army, fighting each other wildly.
So, melee mages are really the basic operation of Kamar-Taj
But it is also possible that Ancient One was really seriously injured.
But this bald boss who has lived for hundreds of years is truly cunning and treacherous.
With her strength, as long as Luke didn't use his trump card, he might not even be able to find her.
This is not a question of power, it’s simply that the big guys play by basically rules, similar to the “Tao” in online novels.
If you want to deal with her using normal means, the most likely outcome is a battle of wits and courage with the air.
After thinking for a while, he murmured, "Maybe... a colleague?"
