"That's amazing. Aren't wizards supposed to ride broomsticks and shout Avada Kedavra?" Tony Stark quipped. "This isn't what I imagined a fight would be like. I expected Expelliarmus right off the bat, followed by the Unforgivable Curses!"
Natasha glanced at Tony and said, "Tony, if you were born in the wizarding world, Voldemort would offer you a cigarette and call you 'Big Brother'!"
Tony shrugged, and everyone burst out laughing.
"But you have to admit, the scene is really cool. Even I have to admit it, it's a little cooler than my armor, just a little bit, okay? No wonder Lin Feng said the special effects were expensive. If this were made into a movie, the special effects costs wouldn't be cheap. Every second is burning money." Tony continued
. "Of course, that's small change to me. If she needs it, I can support every one of her battles. It's just burning money, no big deal!"
Faced with Tony Stark's generous statement, everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes. The evil capitalist.
"But even so, I still feel that the Ancient One's strength is far from as terrifying as Lin Feng mentioned in his diary.
I don't understand what he's afraid of. She can defeat all these wizards on her own, which seems strong, but it's still not enough. In my imagination, a Skyfather Level being should be able to catch them all with one hand. But now those wizards' performance seems a bit... unintelligent, just knowing how to escape.
Their only counterattacks seem to be buying time for more people to escape. The Ancient One didn't even show that kind of terrifying fighting power." Tony continued.
"Could Lin Feng be mistaken? Or does he not know either?"
"The wizards' performance can actually be explained, because they are not the Ancient One's opponents at all, so they don't dare to fight back," Nick Fury said. "It's like the same army, the difference in performance between fleeing and fighting can be huge. Once they flee, they might not be as good as pigs.
And don't underestimate these people. Didn't we just experience it today? It looked like nothing in the diary video, even the Destroyer Armor that Thor dealt with in a few moves. But if it were us, how difficult would the fight be? I think everyone knows!"
Tony Stark immediately thought of how his armor almost got blown up today. The seemingly ordinary Destroyer Armor, judging from its performance in the diary videos, seemed strong, but still manageable.
But when he personally fought it, he was getting beaten up in just a few moves.
If Lin Feng hadn't shown up to hold it off, they probably wouldn't have even been able to retreat safely.
From this perspective, these sorcerers might seem ordinary on the surface, but it was hard to say how strong they really were in a fight.
"Even last time, Odin, who Lin Feng classified as Skyfather Level, and Hela, seemed not to have demonstrated the level we imagined. Only Dormammu showed how terrifying he was.
But since Lin Feng made the classification, there must be a reason.
He's not alone; he has a high-dimensional civilization that can observe other universes behind him.
This classification system definitely wasn't created by a normal person like Lin Feng in his past life. It might have been created by their government in his past life, and I think there must be a reason for it, we just don't know it yet." Nick Fury continued to explain.
Everyone could only nod. Looking at it now, it seemed they could only understand it this way.
"Also, everyone, don't forget that the Ancient One possesses the Time Stone and can observe timelines at any time. Lin Feng is afraid of the Ancient One noticing even the slightest misstep, which shows how powerful she is.
Now, this Kaecilius is bringing a group of people to kill and steal the treasure. Do you think the Ancient One saw it or not?" Natasha asked.
"Natasha, what do you mean?" Hawkeye Barton was stunned, then asked.
"What I mean is, is this also part of the plan?" Natasha said. "What we know from Lin Feng's diary is that the Ancient One is eager to retire, and this way of retiring might end in death, presumably because she's exhausted.
Since she has the Time Stone and can observe the future, can she see the subsequent attack on the Sanctum and Dormammu's invasion?
I think she should be able to. And I think what part of that book Kaecilius took, the ritual the Ancient One mentioned, is very likely a summoning ritual or some kind of ritual to bring Dormammu down, or a ritual to connect with Dormammu. I think it's related."
"The most obvious thing is Kaecilius's dark eye bags. When Dormammu invades, their eye bags are abnormally black.
I think it's caused by the invasion of Dark Dimension energy, and he didn't have them in the video just now, so I tend to think he got a way to contact Dormammu after that." Natasha said.
"And does the Ancient One know about this? I think she should. But this may be a necessary step towards the future she needs, so she doesn't care about Kaecilius killing her people, and she doesn't care about Kaecilius escaping. She's probably seen this scene countless times in the timeline.
It's like watching an old movie. No matter how excited you are the first time you see it, after watching it countless times, it's hard to feel excited anymore. You'll probably become numb, right?"
"That explains it. Maybe this is all part of the plan. Otherwise, the timeline might have pointed in a direction she didn't want to see.
In other words, there's a possibility of changing the timeline, right?" Tony Stark murmured to himself. "From a scientific perspective, from a higher dimension, a person's birth and death appear at the same time. There's no possibility of change…"
"So it's not about the concept of a timeline; different timelines mean different lives," Nick Fury said. "Every different choice could lead to a different outcome. If there's only one outcome, then why would Lin Feng say that the Ancient One went to such great lengths to ensure Doctor Strange became Doctor Strange before she could retire? If it's a predetermined future, it would definitely happen. Why would she need to try so hard?"
