He would leave Earth and take away all the believers here to prevent them from causing trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not he would come back to Earth in the future was another matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he wouldn’t come until he had figured out how to deal with the Eye of Agamotto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching coolly from the side, Luke, who hadn’t done very much, understood that the graduation exam was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange’s approach seemed absurd and comical, but it was actually very tragic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Dormammu suffered any losses? No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this sort of existence which basically didn’t have a lifespan and whose existence was like a planet itself, waiting hundreds of years was like an ordinary person taking a nap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had memorized Earth’s location. He just had to wait for Strange to die, and Strange’s successor might not be as difficult to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone could die thousands of times and still have the courage to shamelessly barter with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange was smart, strong, capable and brave, which was why he had seized this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Luke? Dormammu, who had been harassed to the point of going crazy, had completely forgotten about this little extra character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left the Dark Dimension and returned to Hong Kong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies of the leader and his two lackeys turned dark bluish-purple. They howled and flew into the Dark Dimension, and vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green light glowed on Strange’s chest, and the green circle of runes in his hand spun to complete the last bit of the rewind spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hong Kong Sanctum returned to normal, and the world started moving again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange let out a breath. “It’s finally over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty Wong and the African-American sorcerer looked at each other in bewilderment. That was it? That was Dormammu, whom even the Ancient One was wary of!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luke didn’t think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t familiar with the Ancient One, and didn’t have an established impression of her. He could only analyze this bald female mega bigshot from their two encounters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he didn’t think that Strange’s victory was ‘ridiculous.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be strange if the disciple whom the Ancient One valued didn’t have this strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply tossed a smartphone to Strange. “This is the contact number of the bigshot who sells everything. You might need some of his products.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange caught the phone with mixed feelings. If he had this earlier, would he still have become a sorcerer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Dormammu knew who he was, it would be hard for him to retreat even if he wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had no intention of having too much contact with Strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t good to let such a person know too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chances were that one day, Strange would give Luke that ‘finger of karma’ and tell him to hurry up and get things done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply said, “Please open a portal to New York. Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange nodded and drew a circle with one hand, and a ring of sparks appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye.” Luke walked into the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portal disappeared; the people on the streets of Hong Kong didn’t notice as they carried on with what they had been doing before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never knew that they had already died once tonight, and had almost died a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, ignorance was bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange subconsciously played with the phone until Fatty Wong reminded him, “Let’s go back to the Sanctum first. There are too many people here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange made a sound of acknowledgement before he put the phone away. Dark Knight, we’ll definitely meet again in the future. There’s no rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Luke was busy wrapping things up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the alarm had been canceled, his friends and family in space could turn around and land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The PDD would take care of all the loose ends, and his clone would personally take care of the troublesome ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a clear division of labor, the various organizations operated smoothly and took care of everything in less than a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everybody had already received confirmation; no idiot would come running over to ask if it had been a false alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had the authority could naturally check the database for the crisis that the alarm represented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those who didn’t have that sort of authority, Luke didn’t care what they thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His biggest gain this time was seeing what the Sorcerer Supreme was capable of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy trio just gave him some combat experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dormammu was Strange’s first official opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, such an unfathomably strong enemy was annoyed into running away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Luke didn’t have the Time Stone, he had the Space Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a lot of ways to deal with a strong enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Sorcerer Supreme was a professional player, and the Eye of Agamotto was an heirloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how highly Luke rated himself, he didn’t think he could, in the short term, compete professionally with this sorcerer system that had existed for who knew how many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was possible to learn from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His other gains were the experience and credit points from this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had basically been just a bystander this time, but according to the system, he had contributed 21% to this mission, and had obtained 31.4 billion experience and credit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was at level 43, he had more than three billion credit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, secretly using his two abilities on Strange had been the right choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power used in the right place, no matter how little was used, could be of significant help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like how Strange hadn’t killed Dormammu, and had instead died thousands of times, yet most of the contribution rate was attributed to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Luke would rather this sort of mission appear less often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this was why Luke could remain so calm during this ‘graduation exam’ which the Ancient One had set for Strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person Luke trusted was the wily Ancient One, not the newly-appointed Strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would Strange use such a ‘mystical’ method for solving the problem next time? Luke couldn’t guarantee it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of an opponent like Dormammu, it took no more than a thought to fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, it would be practically impossible to turn things around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting all his hopes on Strange was no different from gambling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People still had to rely on themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Luke had earned the last bit of his contribution with his own fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had defeated the leader called Kaecilius, and obtained a list of his abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knowledge on summoning Dormammu could only be considered backup information and used to come up with countermeasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Kaecilius was one of the most outstanding sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one had to compare, he was second only to Strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty Wong and the African-American sorcerer could only be tortured by Kaecilius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke wouldn’t learn Kaecilius’s magic abilities, but he could use them as reference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real treasure trove was the knowledge Kaecilius possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, Luke wouldn’t need to look for Strange for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeat Strange? That was courting death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Strange had just had a little more bad luck, he would definitely have died during this graduation exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he died, Luke might not be able to protect Earth, no matter how he tried.\u003C\u002Fp>",1313,"2026-06-06T03:36:50.137Z",1,"novelbin.me","98f6ca2b4bcac99b5efdb6e4198824032ab5d3ae9b7bf260eb3a8ee33962c93c","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-2180","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-2079",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
