If Dio was really a doctor, this alone would be enough to sentence him to attempted murder or death penalty!
This is not saving people, this is clearly killing people!
Strange was so badly injured that he couldn't even speak and started vomiting blood.
But the next moment, the magical life energy began to take effect, healing all the wounds in his body.
Ancient One's judgment was correct. The power system that Dio possessed had great potential and could do things that even the Supreme Sorcerer lineage could not do.
When the life energy burst out by the pocket snail was consumed, Strange's life was saved. As for other minor injuries, Dio didn't care at all.
But Strange suddenly became extremely excited!
Because when the last bit of life energy penetrated into his hands, he found unbelievably that several nerves in his crippled hands had reconnected together!
If he had not practiced with Ancient One for a period of time and had not been aware of his physical condition during the treatment, he would probably have thought it was an illusion.
But in fact, it is true!
"What is this? Tell me, what is this!"
Although Strange was still a little weak, his expression at this moment was extremely excited.
He spent all his wealth, gave up science and turned to study magic in Kamar-Taj. What was the purpose
A tremendous strength
A different life
None of these!
He just wanted to heal his hands!
He doesn't want to be Master Strange, he just wants to go back to being Doctor Strange.
He tried all kinds of treatments, but in the end they either failed or he was deceived. Even when he mastered the power of magic, his hands were still disabled.
But what did he discover now
Found hope that might heal his hands!
Even if it's just a little bit, he will never give up!
Facing the excited Strange, Dio remained calm, "Life energy."
"It will heal my hands, right?"
"In theory, life energy can heal everything."
Strange suddenly began to tremble. He looked at his crippled hands and was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
finally...
He finally found it!
Strange raised his head sharply, "Please, as long as you can heal my hand, I can agree to any condition!"
"Not interested. You should be thankful that you have a good teacher, otherwise I wouldn't waste such a precious thing on you."
teacher
Strange was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became extremely complicated.
"You mean Ancient One..."
"Well, I should go, and you should go take care of your own business."
"No, I..."
Before Strange could finish his words, Dio disappeared.
Hope was found, but it disappeared before my eyes.
Strange was almost driven crazy by the torture!
But then his expression perked up again because he thought of what the man had just said.
Ancient One!
That’s right, Ancient One must know that person!
Strange ignored the people around him, quickly opened the portal and returned to the New York Sanctuary.
At this time, the person he was looking for did not actually leave, but just shrunk to the size of an ant and stayed on Wanda's shoulder.
. . . . . . . .
"Levitation Cloak, it chose you?"
In the ruined New York Sanctuary, Carl Mordo said with some surprise after seeing Strange coming back.
But Strange was in no mood to pay attention to him.
At this moment, another voice came, "Well done, it doesn't give in easily."
The person who came was none other than the Ancient One, whom Strange wanted to question!
“What is life energy?”
Originally, Strange should have asked about the whereabouts of Casillas and others, but after meeting Dio, he changed his mind.
“An extremely magical and precious thing, the essence of life.”
"It will heal my hand right?"
"certainly."
“Where is this life energy and how can I get it?”
"Actually, I don't know either." Gu Yi said very calmly.
"But you know who holds this power, right?"
Gu Yi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "Haven't you experienced it yourself? Why are you asking me again?"
"Why? You have known for a long time that there is a way to heal my hand, why didn't you tell me?" Strange became agitated again.
Gu Yi did not explain the real reason, but asked: "Now you know, but is your hand healed?"
Ancient One's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Strange's excitement.
But then his eyes became firm again, "Tell me who that person is? No matter what method I use, I must heal my hand."
"I will take you to see him when this is over. Now that the London Sanctuary has fallen, only the two Supreme Sanctuaries in New York and Hong Kong have not been breached. We need to rely on these two Sanctuaries to fight against the upcoming invasion of the dark dimension. You stay here, Master Strange."
"No, I'm not Master Strange, I'm Doctor Strange! I came here just to heal my hands, not to fight with some inexplicable people! When I became a doctor, I swore that I would never hurt anyone, but now you want me to kill people? No, I will never do that! I practice medicine to save the dying, not to take lives!"
"You practice medicine to save the life that is above all other lives, and that is yourself."
"Ha, you still think you see through me, don't you?"
"What I have seen has never changed. Your over-inflated ego and your delusion of wanting to go back in time and control everything, including death, but this cannot be controlled, even by the great Dr. Stephen Strange." Ancient One looked at him calmly and said.
Ancient One had seen from the future very early on that Stephen Strange would become the most powerful Sorcerer Supreme, but why did she have to wait until so long before accepting him as her disciple
The reason is naturally that he wants to destroy all his pride through this "fateful" car accident, so that he can stand up again after being destroyed!
The former Strange was just like Tony back then, with too many "unqualified" aspects. If he didn't correct those shortcomings, he would not be able to become the real Doctor Strange.
This is also why Ancient One never told Dio when he knew that he had the ability to heal Strange's hands.
Without this obsession, Strange would still go back to his original path, and that was a result that Ancient One did not want to see.
"What about you? I read the missing part of the Book of Cagliostro. You draw energy from the dark dimension to prolong your life. This is your 'mystery of immortality', am I right?"
