Chapter 1082: Angry
Chapter 1082: Angry
Swish!
After rushing out from the magical portal, Wang immediately noticed the semi-transparent spatial barriers in front of Strange. Consequently, his already solemn expression became even more serious.
Seeing Wang suddenly emerging, Stephen Strange, who had been caught red-handed in his sneaky actions, appeared visibly flustered. His panic caused the previously unstable magic to descend into chaos, and the spatial barriers in front of him began distorting rapidly.
Ka ka ka ~
Crackling sounds echoed as the spatial barriers twisted, seemingly on the verge of spatial rupture.
“Damn it!” Strange exclaimed in great alarm as he realized the magic had spiraled out of control, but he was unable to reverse the situation.
Just as Strange lost control, Wang finally made his move. He swiftly positioned himself in front of Strange and then released a spell with a wave of his hand.
Humming!
Similar to Strange’s recently unleashed Mirror Dimension magic, Wang was now employing the very same magic. However, while Strange was constructing the Mirror Dimension, Wang was eliminating these incomplete and unstable Mirror Dimensions.
Ka ka ka ~ Crackling sounds filled the air.
Two seconds later, under Wang’s control, the unstable spatial barriers vanished from the Earth’s reality. Despite Wang’s considerable strength, beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he dealt with the troublesome situation. Meanwhile, Strange, who was shielded by Wang, felt a sense of relief once the trouble had been resolved.
Swish!
“What were you doing?!” Wang turned around with a furious expression on his face, and stared at a visibly embarrassed Strange.
“Uh… I was just conducting a magic experiment…” Strange explained in a low and awkward voice, trying to justify himself to Wang, who had always been very friendly. As Strange continued to explain, his voice grew softer, until eventually, he fell silent.
“Hmph! A magic experiment?! Tell me, how did this experiment come about?!” Upon hearing Strange’s response, Wang pointed at the magic book on the wooden table in front of him and continued to question him sternly.
“Uh…” This time, Strange truly had no words.
Having witnessed the preceding scene, Strange genuinely realized that he had made a mistake. With his current level of power, attempting to experiment with the Mirror Dimension magic was a bit far-fetched. Moreover, if he couldn’t control it, it could potentially pose a significant threat.
“Do you understand how dangerous your actions were just now? There’s a reason why I haven’t allowed you to learn the Mirror Dimension magic yet. Even if your power is nearly sufficient, it’s because Mirror Dimension magic involves rules at a higher level. Without a powerful sorcerer to lead, it’s easy for someone to encounter problems!”
“Furthermore, do you realize that each created Mirror Dimension is an actual world? Do you comprehend the immense danger that arises from haphazardly constructing unstable Mirror Dimensions, potentially posing a threat to the entire multiverse? With one careless move, you could cause a catastrophe in other dimensional worlds.” As Strange remained silent, Wang continued to reprimand him sternly.
Upon hearing Wang’s scolding, Strange also recognized the gravity of his actions. Although he was now considered a true sorcerer, he still hadn’t fully grasped the true nature of this universe and world.
“I’m sorry!” In the end, Strange could only offer a sincere apology.
“Hmph! If I hadn’t arrived quickly, who knows what would have happened! Dormammu would have…” Wang’s face softened slightly upon hearing Strange’s apology, but he couldn’t contain his anger and continued speaking. However, he stopped midway through his sentence.
“Dormammu? Who’s that?” Although Wang quickly halted his words, Strange was astute enough to catch that particular mention. After all, Wang’s tone had significantly changed when he uttered that name.
“It’s nothing. If you genuinely want to learn this kind of magic right away, you must be supervised by other experienced sorcerers. Now, I’m taking this book away.” Without responding to Strange’s words, Wang reminded him firmly.
Then, Wang reached out and took the magic book from the table. Without waiting for Strange to say anything else, Wang stepped back and entered the still-existing magical spatial portal.
Whooosh!
As Wang’s figure vanished along with the golden magical spatial portal, Strange couldn’t help but feel helpless. Although Wang had just eased up and mentioned that Strange could continue learning this kind of magic, he emphasized the necessity of finding a senior sorcerer to oversee it. In other words, if Strange wanted to practice this magic in the future, he would have to seek out Wang.
After all, apart from Wang, Strange was only familiar with three other senior sorcerers in the Himalayas: the Ancient One, the Supreme Sorcerer, and Mordo. However, compared to consulting the Ancient One and Mordo, Strange would still choose Wang, who was a kind-hearted person.
“Well, this outcome is much better than what could have happened initially. But does this world truly have countless alternate universes?” After Wang’s departure, Strange blinked, muttering softly to himself.
After a few minutes, Strange set aside the events that had just occurred and resumed his meditation. Wang, however, instead of returning directly to the library, appeared at the dwelling of the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme.
“Wang, how did it go?” When the Ancient One saw Wang holding a book in his hands, a profound meaning laced his question, indicating his clear understanding of what had just transpired.
“Master, did you already know that he was engaging in such dangerous activities?” Wang asked, bewildered, his face filled with confusion, upon hearing the Ancient One’s words.
“Of course. Although I trust that you guard the library well, recent unrest among the rogue sorcerers has made me keep an eye on that area. So, I’ve been aware of that fellow, Strange, stealing so many books,” The Ancient One replied with a smile, observing Wang’s astonished expression.
“He stole more than just this one book!?” Wang was even more shocked upon hearing the Ancient One’s words.
“Hehe, he’s quite clever,” The Ancient One said, relieving Wang’s anger and embarrassment.
“This isn’t just a matter of being clever. Just now, he nearly constructed a complete Mirror Dimension all by himself! It’s incredibly dangerous!” Wang continued, seemingly unconcerned about his own embarrassment.
“I see. That’s why I asked you how you felt about him. If there’s hope…” The Ancient One didn’t elaborate on what the hope was.
“Hmm… judging purely from his talent, there’s great potential. However, we can’t solely rely on talent…”
“Rest assured, I believe in him.”
