Chapter 1037: Lin Rui’s Prediction
Lin Rui asked Jerry to inquire about the news regarding Stephen Strange, which was naturally due to the selection of a Sorcerer Supreme.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Jack was suddenly pulled away by Sorcerer David and Sorcerer Rick to partic.i.p.ate in the selection, Lin Rui wouldn’t have thought of seeking out this extraordinary neurosurgeon.
In fact, several months ago, Lin Rui had wanted to find Stephen Strange because there were still bomb fragments in Tony’s chest from the time of his kidnapping that hadn’t been removed.
Although Strange was a neurosurgeon, his hands were envied by the entire medical community in the United States.
However, due to some other circ.u.mstances and the existence of Lin Rui’s various miraculous Recovery Serums, Tony’s life was not in danger, and Lin Rui had forgotten about seeking out Doctor Stephen Strange.
Upon returning this time and upon hearing that Jack had gone to the Himalayas to partic.i.p.ate in some Sorceror activities, Lin Rui immediately thought of the person he had forgotten.
If the Earth Sorcerers have truly begun selecting a new Sorcerer Supreme then that person must have already begun a different life of their own. However, it was unknown what Jack would gain from this selection.
According to Lin Rui’s recollection, during Stephen Strange’s process of learning magic with the Ancient One, a former disciple of the Ancient One, Kaecilius, became a rebel and obtained powerful forces from the ruler of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu, intending to destroy the three major Sanctums of the Earth and allow Dormammu to invade.
In the battle between Kaecilius, the sorcerers led by him, and the Earth Sorcerers, the Ancient One was seriously injured and unfortunately died in the end.
After the Ancient One’s death, Stephen Strange, who had already made progress in magic, took up the mantle of the Ancient One and used the Time Stone to stop Dormammu’s invasion of Earth.
However, in Lin Rui’s few encounters with the Ancient One, he felt that the Ancient One he knew was even more unfathomable than in the original plot. In Lin Rui’s eyes, the only one who could be compared to the Ancient One was Odin, the king of Asgard.
Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that the Ancient One would still be stabbed to death by his disciple, just like in the movies Lin Rui had watched. After all, Lin Rui didn’t know how powerful that rebel was, and how much dark power Dormammu would provide him with.
As Lin Rui mentioned the possibility of Earth facing another crisis in the near future, the members of the League of Defenders’ base fell silent once again.
However, there was not much fear on their faces. After all, they had all experienced all kinds of storms and tempests and were ready to face anything. Moreover, Spider-Man, Peter, seemed to be more excited after hearing Lin Rui’s words.
“Jerry, has Jack contacted the base during the week he’s been away?” Lin Rui continued to ask Jerry as everyone remained silent.
If the plot that Lin Rui knew was still going to happen, then he had to prepare early. Even if Stephen Strange successfully replaced the Ancient One and became the new Sorcerer Supreme to drive Dormammu away, the Earth sorcerers would still suffer great damage at that time. And Lin Rui didn’t want to see the Ancient One truly perish.
“Yeah, he did. Jack contacts me almost every day. Although it’s from the Himalayas, the signal seems to be quite good,” Jerry replied immediately upon hearing Lin Rui’s words.
“Well, then that’s good.” Lin Rui nodded in response to Jerry’s answer.
Since Jack could contact the base normally, it indicated that the area of the Himalayas where the Earth Sorcerers were located should be open. Of course, tourists wouldn’t be able to go to the place where the Sorcerers gathered.
Considering Lin Rui’s unclear relationship with the Ancient One and the Earth Sorcerers, he should be able to go and take a look.
If Lin Rui could go, then he could alert the Ancient One about what was going to happen.
Whether or not such events would actually occur, it wouldn’t hurt to give a reminder. Moreover, Lin Rui believed that his current strength was powerful enough, and perhaps he could be of a.s.sistance when the events unfolded.
Of course, the League of Defenders, Iron Man, SHIELD, and others were also Lin Rui’s support.
“Well, I’m glad to see everyone making progress when I come back. If everyone is free, I want to ask… who wants to go with me to the Himalayas and spend some time there?” Having made up his mind to go to the Himalayas, Lin Rui glanced at his companions and asked.
…
Lin Rui, together with Peter, walked on the way back home after leaving the League of Defenders’ base. When they were in the base just now, everyone was curious about Lin Rui’s sudden decision to go to the Himalayas.
Lin Rui briefly explained his purpose, which was related to the Earth Sorcerers. In the end, Spider-Man and Daredevil were willing to go, but that lazy guy Deadpool had no interest in traveling far, and it was unlikely that Jerry would accompany Lin Rui there due to the unpredictability of the situation.
“Jackson, is everything you said true? Will there really be Dark Sorcerers invading Earth?” Walking side by side with Lin Rui on the way back, Peter asked excitedly.
Unlike Lin Rui’s concerns, Peter didn’t have a concept that could describe how horrifying Dormammu was.
He is the powerful and evil sorcerer from the Dark Dimension, and Peter couldn’t understand that as he had recently been focused on the attack against the Dark Elves. In Peter’s view, as long as it was a villain, it meant he would have a chance to showcase his abilities.
“If I’m not mistaken, this crisis should be coming soon,” Lin Rui replied with a deep tone upon hearing Peter’s question.
Lin Rui took Dormammu seriously. After all, he was a powerful sorcerer who could dominate the entire Dark Dimension. From what Lin Rui knew, Dormammu had already devoured many planets, as his existence relied on consuming other worlds to grow stronger.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lent his power to Kaecilius. Dormammu intended to use these sorcerers who had used his dark dimension powers to find Earth and ultimately consume it.
Speaking of which, Lin Rui knew a rumor. It was said that the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, also drew power from the Dark Dimension. Otherwise, his strength might not have been as great, and he wouldn’t have lived for so long.
Of course, Lin Rui didn’t pay too much attention to it. Even if the Ancient One did draw power from the Dark Dimension, he had his reasons and confidence. As long as he continued to protect Earth, it would be fine.
