Strange saying this now was both to comfort himself and to comfort Wang.
And just then—
"You're all here, that's perfect."
Luo Di's figure suddenly appeared before the two of them.
Strange and Wang were both startled.
Mainly because Luo Di came without any warning, and they were still immersed in that emotion, so it was normal for them to be startled when he suddenly appeared.
"Next time you come, can you call first?"
Strange said, annoyed.
Wang, beside him, also had a resentful expression.
"Sorry! Next time for sure." Luo Di said. As for whether he would call in advance next time? That would depend on whether he could remember.
"Do you have something urgent?"
Strange didn't take Luo Di's words seriously. It wasn't the first day he had known Luo Di; Strange was already used to his style of spouting nonsense.
So, he directly asked Luo Di about his purpose.
"The Time Stone is on you, right?"
Luo Di asked directly.
His gaze glanced at the pendant on Strange's neck.
The Eye of Agamotto.
"Did the Sorcerer Ancient One tell you?"
Strange asked, then nodded, "That's right, I've always carried it with me."
"That's good. Now, use the Time Stone to observe the future timeline, mainly the timeline about ten to twenty years from now. I don't know the exact number of years, but you just need to look from the 10th year to the 20th year."
Luo Di said.
"Why should I do that?"
Strange asked, puzzled.
"What exactly do you want me to see?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Di also told Strange and Wang some of the things about the Great Destruction that the Sorcerer Ancient One had told him when she sought him out earlier.
"The Great Destruction, are you saying that what was in the picture just now was the Great Destruction?"
Strange was startled.
What was going on?
Just now, he was saying that such a situation would definitely not happen in their World.
But in the blink of an eye, Luo Di told him that they only had a little over ten years left?
What made him even more depressed was that the Sorcerer Ancient One clearly knew about it long ago, yet she never mentioned it to him!
That was too much!
"I don't know, this is just my guess, that's why I'm asking you to look."
Luo Di said.
The reason he came to Strange and asked him to observe the timeline was simple.
One was to confirm whether the Great Destruction in a little over ten years was the same as what was shown in the picture just now.
If it was;
Then he wanted Strange to see if there was any solution.
Although the Sorcerer Ancient One had said that she had already observed the timeline, many, many times, the results were without exception: they all failed.
So she placed her only hope on Luo Di, someone from outside this World.
Hoping to win the gamble!
But Luo Di still wanted to try.
After all, in the Infinity War, Dr. Strange had once used the Time Stone to observe the timeline. He looked at a full fourteen million possibilities, and only found one future where they defeated Thanos.
This time;
Luo Di just wanted him to look at a few tens of millions more.
Perhaps they had other ways to solve this problem?
"Okay, I'll try."
After hearing Luo Di's words, Strange also realized the seriousness of the problem. Although he didn't know why the Sorcerer Ancient One would tell Luo Di about this, but not tell him, the new Sorcerer Supreme.
But Strange didn't have the mind to think about these things right now.
If he wanted to find other methods besides himself, and Strange had no idea that Luo Di was their only glimmer of hope, even if Luo Di didn't ask, he would still actively use the Time Stone to observe the future timeline.
To see if they could avoid this terrible thing from happening!
"Begin, I'll watch from the side."
Luo Di said.
Upon hearing this, Strange also nodded.
Then he formed a magical seal with his hands and opened the Eye of Agamotto on his chest!
Inside the Eye of Agamotto, the green Time Stone emitted a green light. As a green array pattern appeared beneath Strange's feet, he floated up, sitting cross-legged in mid-air.
Visibly, his entire body was twisting and deforming!
It looked very Strange!

"The power of the Time Stone is mysterious and immeasurable, I wonder if Strange can truly master it?"
On the rooftop, watching Strange who was already using the power of the Time Stone to observe the timeline, Wang also spoke, a worried expression on his face.
"Don't worry, he is far more excellent than you imagine."
Luo Di said.
The Sorcerer Ancient One once said that Strange was the most powerful Sorcerer Supreme in history.
Although the veracity of the Sorcerer Ancient One's statement remains to be seen, at least one thing is certain: when it comes to utilizing the Time Stone, Strange indeed possesses a unique talent!
This talent was something even the Sorcerer Ancient One did not possess.
One must know that the Sorcerer Ancient One lived for hundreds of years to master the skillful use of the Time Stone and its ability to observe timelines.
But Strange?
The first time he picked up the Time Stone, he already possessed such an ability.
Although he wasn't proficient, and far from as skilled as the Sorcerer Ancient One.
But...
Given some time, his use of the Time Stone would definitely surpass the Ancient One!
And this time would certainly not be hundreds of years.
At most, it would only be a few years!
This was talent.
It was also one of the reasons the Ancient One chose him to become Sorcerer Supreme and succeed her.
However, the Sorcerer Ancient One in another Universe seemed to have chosen Wanda to succeed her as Sorcerer Supreme.
It was a pity that until that Universe was devoured.
Wanda never managed to outlive the Sorcerer Ancient One and truly become Sorcerer Supreme!
...
A moment later;
Strange's bizarre appearance finally subsided.
He fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Fortunately, Luo Di waved his hand and supported him, otherwise, he would have landed hard enough to have a sore backside for half a day.
"Are you okay?"
Luo Di asked.
Strange shook his head, his face extremely pale and his expression very grim.
"Failed?"
Luo Di knew the result at a glance.
As expected!
Strange nodded and said, "Failed! I looked at over thirty-seven million future possibilities, but without exception, our World all headed towards the end of the Great Destruction!"
He looked up at the spatial rift in the sky.
The rift still had a colorful appearance, and no new images appeared.
But Strange, looking at it now, felt as if he could still see the last scene he had witnessed earlier.
"That level of power is simply not something we can resist."
He said.
"So, that was the Great Destruction?"
Luo Di asked.
Strange nodded. In the over thirty-seven million futures he saw, their World was devoured by this red and black energy.
No matter how much these people resisted, no matter how heroically they faced sacrifice.
The result was without exception!
However, there was one thing Strange didn't quite understand.
In those countless futures, he saw many heroes step forward.
Many of whom he had never seen or known.
But Luo Di's figure never appeared!
Moreover;
Neither Scarlet Witch nor Spider-Woman.
Their abilities shown in the futures he saw were not as powerful as he knew them to be.
Spider-Woman's strength seemed similar to that Spider-Man.
Scarlet Witch also never displayed any ability to move at supersonic speeds.
This left Strange somewhat puzzled.
And very confused.
But he didn't ask Luo Di why at the moment.
He had a vague guess in his heart.
He seemed to somewhat understand why the Sorcerer Ancient One told Luo Di about the Great Destruction but didn't tell him.
Luo Di handed Strange over to Wang, who was beside him, and then asked Strange about the few futures that came closest to success among the over thirty-seven million he had seen.
However, Strange told him with a bitter smile.
They never came close to success at all!
In the over thirty-seven million possible futures, they were all crushed.
