Luo Di noticed that the people around them seemed to be completely unaware of their presence.
Luo Di even curiously reached out to touch them, only for his hand to pass directly through their bodies!
"Is this... an illusion?"
Luo Di asked.
Sorcerer Ancient One shook her head and said, "No, this is the past, the past from half an hour ago."
Half an hour ago?
Luo Di suddenly remembered that it was around the time he had a Strange feeling that the entire World had undergone an inexplicable change.
Before Luo Di could ask anything else, he suddenly saw two familiar figures appear in front of him.
Long face, slicked-back hair, isn't that Benedict Cumberbatch... oh no, it's Doctor Strange!
And the one accompanying him, isn't that Sorcerer Mordo!
That guy seemed to have betrayed Kamar-Taj because Sorcerer Ancient One drew energy from the Dark Dimension.
So;
Is this the storyline where Doctor Strange fights Dormammu?
Luo Di turned to look at Sorcerer Ancient One.
"Sorcerer, is there a special reason you're showing me this?"
Luo Di asked.
Sorcerer Ancient One then walked up to Doctor Strange, who had stopped, and said, "This is my successor, and also the strongest Sorcerer Supreme in the future. My time is running out. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can go to him."
???
Time is running out?
Sorcerer Ancient One, are you serious?
How do I feel like you can return whenever you want?
The boundary between life and death seems to truly make no difference to you.
Luo Di remained silent.
He felt that Sorcerer Ancient One was trying to trick him.
Of course!
Sorcerer Ancient One's statement that he should seek Doctor Strange if he has questions is certainly correct.
After all, Doctor Strange is the next Sorcerer Supreme, although he was later replaced by Wong due to the Snap.
But at least for the next few years, Doctor Strange will indeed be Kamar-Taj's Sorcerer Supreme.
However, to say that Doctor Strange is the strongest among the retired Sorcerer Supreme?
Luo Di couldn't say whether that statement was true or not.
At least in many Universes, Doctor Strange cannot claim the title of the strongest Sorcerer Supreme.
But it cannot be denied that Doctor Strange in some Universes is indeed very strong.
It's just that I don't know if the Doctor Strange in this Universe is the kind who falls flat, or the kind who goes astray, or the kind who honorably becomes the strongest Sorcerer Supreme?
Hopefully, it's not the middle one.
Luo Di remembered that a demonized Doctor Strange had directly caused an entire Universe to collapse, eventually having to self-seal to avoid affecting the Multiverse.
From Luo Di's perspective, the group of Sorcerers is truly prone to causing trouble.
For reasons Luo Di also doesn't know, those extra-dimensional Demon Gods particularly like to transform their power into spell books for these Sorcerers to read.
If they encounter someone as clear-headed as Sorcerer Ancient One, then it's fine.
At most, they'll just look, but they'll absolutely not use them recklessly!
But if they encounter someone like Kaecilius or Doctor Strange, who cannot let go of their obsession, then it's very easy to cause big trouble.
One wrong move, and collapsing an entire Universe is a very common occurrence.
If they are even more careless, affecting the Multiverse and causing countless Universes to be impacted, that is also possible.
However;
Sorcerers themselves are very fragile beings.
If you don't give them a chance to cast spells, or a chance to use those dangerous spells, then even a single bullet can take the lives of these Sorcerers!
...
While Luo Di was pondering the meaning behind Sorcerer Ancient One's words, Doctor Strange had already started fighting Kaecilius and the others.
As the Dark Dimension's space gradually invaded the main Universe from the sky.
Terrifying dark energy also poured onto this Planet.
Suddenly!
Luo Di's eyes widened as he looked down at his feet.
The moment Dormammu's power invaded, he felt a power deep within the earth beneath his feet seemingly struggling, trying to revive early.
Luo Di looked at Sorcerer Ancient One in surprise, finding her smiling at him.
"That's... Celestials?"
Luo Di asked.
Sorcerer Ancient One's eyes revealed an expression of "You really know," and then she nodded.
"That's right, that's an unawakened Celestial member. When Dormammu invaded, its power tried to awaken early, but it failed."
Sorcerer Ancient One said.
It really is!
Although Luo Di already knew that a member of the Celestials was gestating within the Blue Planet.
But he didn't expect that this guy already possessed self-awareness before being fully gestated!
Moreover;
It even tried to awaken early.
However, it clearly failed.
The gestation of the Celestials is not that simple. For a Celestial member to awaken, it requires the cooperation of the Universe's rules.
If the time is not right, even someone as strong as a Celestial cannot resist the Universe's own rule constraints!
Therefore, even though this Celestial member foresaw Dormammu's invasion and wanted to escape early, it ultimately couldn't do it.
"Wait! Who are those people?"
Luo Di suddenly noticed that in an alley on the left, where there had originally been no one, a rectangular slab-like portal suddenly opened deep within the alley.
Then a blonde woman ran out of the door.
Not long after, a group of people in uniforms also ran out of the door, quickly chasing after the woman until she disappeared.
Luo Di blinked.
If he wasn't mistaken, the first blonde woman should be the female Loki, right?
And the people who chased after her were the Time Variance Authority, which is the TVA's pursuit team!
What a mess!
Luo Di thought.
First Dormammu, then the Celestials, and now even the TVA has appeared.
Moreover;
This Universe isn't the Sacred Timeline Universe either!
How could TVA personnel show up?
"Those are TVA personnel." Sorcerer Ancient One said proactively without waiting for Luo Di to ask: "The TVA are Kang the Conqueror's subordinates. Kang the Conqueror has many variants in many Universes, and many of them like to create an organization called the TVA to solidify their rule."
???
So, there's more than one TVA?
Do these Kang the Conqueror variants have some special obsession?
Why do they all like to create a TVA?
Even if you want to create an organization to solidify your rule, why is it always named TVA?
Can't they change the name?
Luo Di complained wildly in his mind.
He felt that Kang the Conqueror must have something seriously wrong with his brain!
However;
Putting aside whether these Kang the Conqueror's brains are sick or not, the existence of the TVA in this Universe is what surprised Luo Di the most.
Could it be that the Great Destruction Sorcerer Ancient One mentioned earlier was actually a future of the Universe set by Kang the Conqueror?
And any timeline that didn't develop towards that future was pruned by him?
Then what does Luo Di's existence count as?
An anomaly?
Or is he also within Kang the Conqueror's calculations?
Luo Di suddenly felt a chill, as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything behind him.
"Although these Kang the Conqueror variants all like to create the TVA, the nature of these TVAs also varies." Sorcerer Ancient One seemed not to notice Luo Di's grim expression and continued to speak to herself: "And the TVA in our Universe, its purpose is also to prevent the arrival of the Great Destruction."
What?
Luo Di had just come up with a bunch of self-frightening conclusions, but then Sorcerer Ancient One turned around and said that the TVA in their Universe was created to eliminate the Great Destruction?
Is Kang the Conqueror in this Universe a good guy?
Luo Di didn't care whether Kang the Conqueror was a good guy or not.
He only cared whether this guy knew about his existence.
"He doesn't know."
Sorcerer Ancient One once again saw through Luo Di's thoughts and said to him with a smile.
"Sorcerer, are you sure?"
Luo Di confirmed again.
Sorcerer Ancient One nodded, smiling, and said, "I told you, you are very special!"
"In fact, the reason I discovered your existence was also a coincidence. The first time I found you was in that Paradise Tower."
"Perhaps you don't know, but that was also where Strange once lived."
"Of course, he doesn't live there anymore."
There's such a thing?!
Luo Di was speechless.
It turns out that his discovery by Sorcerer Ancient One was due to such a bizarre coincidence.
If he had transmigrated to another place instead of Paradise Tower, he wouldn't have been discovered by Sorcerer Ancient One immediately after transmigrating.
"There is something within you, I don't know what it is, I cannot glimpse even a fraction of it, but its presence has indeed protected you and hidden your true identity."
Sorcerer Ancient One looked at Luo Di, her eyes deep. In reality, this was also why she didn't banish Luo Di immediately.
God knows she was originally observing Strange that day, when she suddenly discovered a soul power not belonging to this Universe suddenly appearing there.
She curiously went to investigate and found Luo Di, a soul not belonging to this Universe.
But before she could decide how to deal with Luo Di, she found that she could no longer sense his anomaly.
