After hearing Ancient One's explanation, Wanda couldn't help but be shocked.
This is no longer a power that mortals can access. Are all so-called wizards so powerful
But Dio was calm. In his opinion, this ability was more like a field with the power of space.
Moreover, not everyone can use the mirror dimension as skillfully as Ancient One. Although other mages can master this ability after long-term training, there can only be one true ruler in the mirror dimension. Whoever has stronger ability can control things in the mirror dimension, while others are powerless to change and can only passively bear it.
That is to say, if Ancient One and a hundred mages are in the same mirror dimension, then the dominance of this mirror dimension will be firmly in the hands of Ancient One, and the others can only become "spectators".
But no matter what, there is no doubt that the power inherited by the Supreme Sorcerer's lineage is extremely powerful.
You must know that at his peak, Ancient One was a terrifying existence who could have an equal conversation with Odin, the king of gods. For a long time, he had suppressed the covetousness of powerful beings in various dimensions with his own strength.
"A very practical ability." Dio exclaimed sincerely.
However, Gu Yi's next words surprised him greatly.
"Want to learn? I can teach you."
Dio was surprised to hear this, but he immediately calmed down. "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. I have always believed that if you want to get something, you must pay the corresponding price. So I want to know your purpose first."
Although I have long known that my existence should have been known to Gu Yi, or even noticed.
And when mentioning the effect of the mirror dimension just now, Ancient One also blinked at him, which should be confessing that he had used this ability to monitor or in other words, observe him.
But the two of them have been living in peace all this time, and he has even been avoiding the existence of Ancient One, not wanting to have any intersection with him. But now Ancient One suddenly appears and shows kindness. What does this mean
When I think of the original ending, Ancient One refused to return to his body and wanted to die.
Dio felt as if he had grasped something.
"Follow the principle of equal exchange... It seems that you have always set a bottom line for yourself and forced yourself to abide by it. Are you afraid of losing yourself in the process of pursuing power?"
Ancient One looked at Dio with a complicated expression.
Originally, she had set a bottom line for herself that she must not cross, but in order to have more time to fight against the disasters she had predicted, she broke that barrier with her own hands and stepped over the line that she should not have crossed, which led to the bitter consequences today.
But she never regretted it, because everything was her own choice.
As to whether this choice is right or wrong, it can only be left to future generations to judge.
After being absent-minded for a moment, a gentle smile appeared on Ancient One's face that he had never had before. "I hope you can forget the unpleasantness of the past and get to know the current Stephen Strange again. He will inherit the title of the next Supreme Sorcerer."
"That's all?"
"Can't you do it?"
Dio frowned a little. It was not because he felt that the condition was too difficult, but that he felt it was too simple. Or was there some deeper meaning in it that he could not see through at the moment
He had to think carefully before making a deal with a wise man like Ancient One who had lived for who knows how long. Although it seemed that Ancient One had no ill will towards him, it was possible that he would fall into a big pit if he was not careful.
But no matter what he thought, this condition was in his favor. At worst, he could just give that guy some face the next time he saw him.
But is it really just like this...
"Okay, but are you sure I can learn it?"
After thinking it over, Dio finally couldn't resist the temptation. If he learned this trick of mirror dimension, he wouldn't make too much noise when fighting in the future, nor would he attract other people's attention. It would also minimize the damage caused by the battle, which would have many benefits.
But if this trick is extremely difficult to learn and takes ten or twenty years to master, then it would be meaningless.
"With your mental strength, you are just suitable for learning the magic of the Supreme Mage. But unfortunately, the ability you have now is the most suitable for you and the path you should continue to follow. However, if you only master the mirror dimension, it will not have much impact."
Dio understood what Ancient One meant. His foundation was still the power of ripples and a stand. The mirror dimension could be used as a harmless tool to assist, but if he switched to other power systems, it might lead to irreversible consequences.
"I see, thank you."
Seeing that Dio understood everything, the smile on Gu Yi's face softened a little.
"Then our deal will begin from now on. After a while, you will get what you want, and I will also give you a gift by then."
As soon as the words fell, the mirror dimension wrapped in a kaleidoscope shattered instantly, and Dio and Wanda suddenly appeared next to the seats again, but the people around them seemed to have no reaction, and the figure of Ancient One had disappeared.
Gift
Dio always felt that there was a big trap in the request made by Gu Yi, and now he heard that Gu Yi wanted to give him a gift...
This feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Regardless of whether it’s a big pit or not, he has already jumped into it voluntarily. Thinking about it further will only add to the trouble.
"Who was that Ancient One just now? I tried to sense her inner thoughts, but it seemed like I was exploring an ocean or a snowy mountain..." Wanda asked with some self-doubt.
"Don't do that next time. That wizard is a true wise man and a respectable... good man."
Good guy...
This was the first time that Dior made such a description with respect and sincerity, rather than ridicule or complaints.
"I see. It seems that there are still many unknown secrets in this world."
"Yes, the more you know, the more you realize how insignificant you are."
Dio smiled and nodded, and was about to continue enjoying the food with Wanda, but at this moment, the exclamations outside suddenly attracted their attention.
I saw a figure with blood on his body falling on the street, with a pale face stretching out his hand, drawing circles in the air inexplicably.
Behind him was a strange man tightly wrapped in a red cloak, who was now tearing off the cloak, trying to break free.
"It's him again."
Seeing Strange being chased by someone, with a wound on his left chest and his collar stained red, Dio subconsciously wanted to look away and ignore him.
But he immediately recalled the 'deal' he had made with Ancient One...
Fuck!
