The setting sun shone into the house through the window, illuminating Leo and Ancient One who were sitting across the table from each other.
After Leo asked why Gu Yi had to kill Casillas, Gu Yi's expression was obviously complicated.
"Hey, where should I start with your question?"
Gu Yi had a look of memories on his face,
"The previous Supreme Master, who was also my teacher, was an amiable old Taoist priest. At least when I came to Kama Taj, he was already that kind of amiable person with white beard and hair.
I studied magic with him for twenty years. Twenty years later, he still looks like his hair and beard are all white, as if time has left no trace on him.
At first I thought he relied on the power of the Eye of Agamotto to remain immortal, but in the end I realized that wasn't the case.
Later...he died.
He passed the position of Sorcerer Supreme to me."
Master Gu Yi sighed and shook his head,
"It was his destiny to kill him, just as it was Casillas who was going to kill me, Casillas is my destiny.
My masters and I, including the successor Supreme Mage, may be able to go back even further. We can all skillfully draw power from a unique alternate dimension to achieve immortality.
But that kind of power is not a once-and-for-all elixir, but a curse.
People who become immortal by absorbing that power will encounter an absolutely fatal 'fate' every few decades or so.
Fortunately, the Sorcerer Supreme possesses the Eye of Agamotto made from the Time Stone, which allows him to see into the future and provide a way to avoid or eliminate "fate".
I have escaped hundreds of "destinies", but the corrective power of fate is getting stronger and stronger, and I feel that I can no longer escape.
You may have noticed that during this demonic incident, Casillas faced certain death situations several times, but in the end he saved the day.
For example, the fatal kick of Satanish's clone was blocked by his breast-protecting mirror.
For example, in the decisive kill between the Demon Legion and the Necromancer Knight, Master Hamil finally protected him with his severed hand.
I have designed other methods to get rid of him before, but he used similar methods to avoid them. At this time, the corrective power of the curse is helping him.
Casillas is the one who can end my fate..."
"Wait a moment."
Leo interrupted Ancient One's story,
"Venerable Ancient One, according to what you said, since you have seen that your destiny is Casillas, why don't you just kill him? Wouldn't this solve your destiny?"
The power of the Ancient One is obvious to all. Leo feels that even if the entire earth is against her, she can destroy the earth with her wave of hands.
Could Casillas, a weak "fate", really take the life of Ancient One?
Is Gu Yi telling the truth, or making up stories?!
Leo couldn't tell the difference anymore.
Gu Yi showed a wry smile:
"'Destiny' is not solved like this. If I kill Casillas, a 'Catonillas' or 'Cananillas' will appear immediately."
"Since you have the Eye of Agamotto, you might as well kill all the 'Lias' without stopping."
Leo gave Gu Yi advice and continued to test.
After hearing this, Gu Yi suddenly showed a strange look on his face:
"My teacher who died nearly ten thousand years ago thought so too."
"At that time, he could no longer find a way to avoid the powerful 'destiny' that was coming, and finally destroyed it with his own hands."
The weirdness on Gu Yi's face was even worse,
"The Eye of Agamotto is not omnipotent. It cannot see all possibilities in the future."
"As each fate is killed by my teacher, the new fate will become more and more unexpected."
"For example, become the person closest to him and the person he trusts the most."
Leo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at Gu Yi in shock, his mouth slightly opened.
"Mr. Erwin, you guessed it right."
There was a rare look of fear on Gu Yi's face, and he was a little crazy.
"The fate that killed my teacher was me!"
Leo suddenly felt cold all over his body. A cool air came from his tailbone and went straight to his forehead. It was refreshing and his heart beat a little faster.
How could this seemingly perfect worldview of science fiction and fantasy suddenly turn into a horror story!?
Gu Yi noticed the change in Leo's expression, returned to his wry smile, and explained:
"Mr. Erwin, my teacher's death was not what you imagined.
I was not manipulated by some weird power to take up arms and brutally kill my teacher.
As usual, I made a pot of tea for the teacher and added some honey. After he drank a cup, he was poisoned to death."
Leo suddenly felt like vomiting because he was afraid that the honey tea he just drank was poisonous.
Gu Yi didn't know what Leo was thinking, so he continued on his own,
"Afterwards, I found the source of the poison. It turned out that my teacher mistakenly put the poison into the bottle of honey. In the end, he actually killed himself."
Leo twitched the corner of his mouth, why did this scene seem so familiar inexplicably?
Could it be that the real Death is coming in Marvel!?
The Ancient One drew power from the dark dimension, and Leo knew this.
It seems that the water in this dark dimension is very deep!
It's full of suspense and horror.
Leo made up his mind to stay away from it.
Gu Yi's words continue,
"So, the method of 'forcibly killing fate' to save yourself is not feasible. It will only lead to a dead end. I can only choose to design and kill Casillas."
At this point, Gu Yi has finished telling the story and answered Leo's second question.
However, after listening to the story, Leo felt not only fear but also deep doubts in his heart.
What Ancient One told him was too much!
What conspiracy is she thinking about?!
Leo had a few vague guesses in his mind, but he couldn't be sure, so he simply asked the questions in his mind:
"Venerable Ancient One, your story reveals a lot of information... Why do you have to tell me everything?"
"Because I want you to help me survive my next 'destiny'." Gu Yi answered directly without concealing his purpose.
This answer was within Leo's guess, and Leo continued to ask:
"What is your next 'destiny'?"
The tall figure of the purple sweet potato bald man and the domineering name "Thanos" immediately appeared in Gu's eyes.
But in the end, Gu Yi shook his head:
"This cannot be said. Once it is said, all plans will be in vain. This is how my master's master died."
Leo:......
What kind of messy experiences have been handed down from this single sect of the Supreme Mage!
Since Gu Yi was unwilling to answer, Leo stopped pressing and continued to ask other questions:
"Venerable Ancient One, why me?"
"You just said that you planned to ambush Casillas many times but failed in the end. Why did I succeed?"
"Did you see all of this through the Eye of Agamotto?"
