Chapter 241

If Dormammu hadn't arrived.

Then Stephen could have had infinite chances to try and fail with the Time Stone.

But Dormammu arrived.

Stephen had no chance at all.

That was certain.

Without full Father-Level power to drive the Time Stone.

That giant eyeball up there couldn't be driven away by Stephen.

But if the Ancient One took action herself.

Stephen wouldn't grow at all.

It's truly heartbreaking...

The Ancient One would die just to force the experience of the monster into Stephen's mouth!

So after thinking for a while,

she seriously spoke to Su Yi.

"I will let Stephen attempt to repel Dormammu."

"But if he fails, I hope the Patriarch will help Stephen by striking back."

Su Yi nodded.

"Fine."

Then let's end this conversation here.

The matter is roughly settled.

Su Yi and the Ancient One both fell silent.

Instead, they silently watched Cassiel and the Ancient One entangled, along with the protected Stephen.

This was, in fact, a final farewell.

And the Ancient One fell silent for a while.

Then she suddenly spoke.

"Actually, once the timeline is disrupted, I'm deeply worried about Earth's future."

Su Yi nodded, showing he understood.

In truth, since the moment he arrived, he had known what the Ancient One was holding onto.

Otherwise, there'd be no need for him to come.

The Ancient One could have died for Stephen long ago.

Why wait for him to arrive?

"Huh..."

Su Yi shook his head helplessly—still worrying about Earth even at death's door.

The Ancient One had fulfilled her role as Supreme Law to the fullest.

And how could he not understand her words?

Su Yi slipped his hands into his pockets, turned back, and glanced at his Wanda, Gewen, and the temporary not-his own Hela.

Then he said softly.

"Earth is also my home."

As soon as he spoke these words,

the Ancient One finally relaxed.

She didn't laugh out loud, but she smiled with great joy.

Wanda and Gewen, seeing how this once-serious woman could be so happy, couldn't help but feel happy too.

That's it.

The Ancient One gave one final look around, then turned to Su Yi and nodded.

"I must go."

Su Yi nodded, saying nothing more.

It had come to this—more words were useless; everything was understood within.

The Ancient One nodded, then turned to look at Gewen, Wanda, and Hela.

Finally, her gaze settled on Wanda.

She said nothing.

Instead, for the first time, from a woman's perspective, she used her eyes to signal Wanda to stay close to Su Yi.

Wanda nodded seriously.

Then she exhaled deeply, closed her eyes.

The next moment,

her spirit vanished before the four, returning to her body.

And in the distant battle,

the Ancient One suddenly unleashed her power amid the entangled pair.

The Ancient One swept her hands.

Then pressed one palm against the stone pillar beside her.

The surrounding space immediately twisted.

And she began her final battle with Cassiel.

At the same time, she was also calling out for Shi Difen to wake up quickly.

Fortunately, the Ancient One has already erupted temporarily to suppress Kaishilias.

The mental erosion of the Dark Dimension has temporarily ceased.

Shi Difen also immediately began to resist.

Su Yi watched from afar.

He could only sigh.

"A play within a play..."

Wanda and Gwen, standing nearby, were deeply moved.

They embraced Su Yi's arms.

"So there really are such legendary stories in this world."

Little Hela, standing nearby, pressed her tender, moist lips together.

Today's events had also shocked her deeply.

Because she knew Shi Difen and the Ancient One had absolutely nothing to do with each other; their feelings had only developed later.

But just like that.

The Ancient One was willing to go to such lengths for Shi Difen.

This caused Hela's life philosophy to tremble.

So there really are such people in this world.

At this moment.

The Ancient One has already exchanged several blows with Dormammu.

And Shi Difen's state was about to return.

But in the end.

The Ancient One inflicted critical injuries on Kaishilias at the cost of her own life!

This caused Kaishilias to pause in shock.

He looked at the fatal wound on his chest, then looked at the Ancient One's fatal wound.

This was a technique of exchanging lives.

And Shi Difen was about to wake up; the Ancient One had no need to do this.

At this time, Dormammu, who was possessing Kaishilias's body, suddenly realized.

"Ancient One! You are seeking death!"

The Ancient One smiled.

The original Kaishilias did not understand the Ancient One's actions.
