Ancient One's fishing law enforcement did fish out Dormammu hiding in the dark space, but the price paid was not light.
Not only did Ancient One himself die as a result, but the three major temples were also damaged to varying degrees.
Although Lu Xiao used the Time Stone to repair the structure of the temple afterwards, the mystics who were injured and killed in the battle were unable to replenish the structure for a while.
Fortunately, the structure and defensive array of the temple itself are strong enough, and no more enemies will attack the temple for a while after Dormammu's death.
After meditating all night, Lu Xiao came to the Secret Art Hall early the next day to gather with Hamil and others to discuss how to allocate Kama Taj's remaining combat power.
After Modu left and Lu Xiao was promoted to Supreme Mage, there is now a serious shortage of elite mystics available to Kama Taj.
After Daniel and Wang volunteered, Lu Xiao finally agreed that they would guard the London Temple and the Hong Kong Temple respectively despite their injuries.
Considering that he will be away from the earth for a period of time, Master Hamil must stay at Karma Taj to take charge of the overall situation, and the guardian of the New York Temple can only be temporarily vacant.
Instead, Lu Xiao assigned the largest number of manpower to the New York Temple, with Master Hamil sitting at Kamal Taj and commanding remotely.
With the new official taking office, Lu Xiao should have stayed at Kamal Taj to win over people and heal the damage caused by the battle of Dormammu.
But the dangerous situation in the future could not be controlled by Lu Xiao's slow actions. In front of several Kamal Taj executives, he told them about Thanos' coveting of the Infinity Stones.
Hamill's expression became solemn: "Thanos, the genius, freak, and madman of the Titans."
"It is said that after being exiled by his tribe, he backhandedly destroyed his hometown. From then on, he began to wander around the universe and gradually gathered a huge army."
"Thousands of years ago, Thanos had a battle with Odin. Although he was ultimately defeated, his powerful fighting power was fully demonstrated."
"The ancients have always been very wary of Thanos before, thinking that he is one of the biggest threats that the earth may face in the future."
Lu Xiao nodded in agreement and said: "There was a shadow of Thanos behind the Battle of New York a few years ago. Perhaps out of consideration for Odin and his mentor Ancient One, he did not enter the earth himself, but asked Loki to guide the Chitauri.
The army launched an invasion."
"The Mind Stone was brought to the earth by Thanos and Loki. This stone caused cracks within the Avengers who protect the earth. It is difficult to say that this matter has nothing to do with Thanos."
The king paced anxiously: "The former Supreme Mage died in the Battle of Dormammu, and Odin was also overdrafted. Now no one in the Nine Realms can compete with Thanos head-on. It is indeed his unique opportunity to take the initiative."
Great opportunity.”
"No, it's not time yet."
Lu Xiao's eyes flashed: "Thanos is a cunning and cautious man. The news of Odin's ambush in the Battle of Dormammu has spread, which will make him worry that Odin is deliberately pretending to be weak. At the critical moment,
Give it to him too."
"Odin should not act rashly until it is ensured that he has truly lost the ability to fight, and this period of time is the prime time left for us to prepare."
…
After the high-level meeting of Kamal Taj, Hamil, Wang and others began to take action one after another.
Lu Xiao also opened the portal and went directly to the outside of the castle where the Avengers fought Baron Strucker.
After Baron Strucker was defeated, he escaped the pursuit of the Avengers for a while, but in the end he died at the hands of Ultron.
The European branch of Hydra fell apart due to the death of Baron Strucker, and the ownerless castle was also reclaimed by the local government.
From the high castle, you can directly see the city of Skovia not far away.
The small town that was peaceful before has long been changed beyond recognition, and large areas of buildings in the city collapsed and shattered.
In just a few months, Skovia seems to have gone through decades of ravages. The city is full of ruins, and in some places, huge potholes that cannot be connected to the boundary of the earth can even be seen.
A large number of people wearing protective suits were busy cleaning up the mess in the city. Iron Man, whose suit was mostly damaged, was flying at low speed over the city. According to the information provided by Hill, he should be using high-tech scanning equipment to search for possible survivors.
.
When they saw the members of the Avengers again, there was no joy after victory on their faces, and their morale was very low.
Wanda, who was sent to Scovia by Wang first, was glaring at them with unforgettable eyes, and none of the Avengers could look directly into her eyes.
"Wanda..."
Quicksilver Pietro hugged his sister: "Don't blame them, they have tried their best. I have seen this with my own eyes."
"Everything is Ultron's fault, it's..."
Wanda roared angrily: "Then who created Ultron? The source of the tragedy in Skovia comes from that guy's arrogance and blind complacency!"
"this……"
Pietro may not have grievances and anger against Stark in his heart. Out of team spirit, he couldn't say it to his face.
Wanda, who has not joined the Avengers, does not have such concerns. She bluntly pointed out the source of Ultron's rebellion.
"Wanda."
Lu Xiao walked to Wanda and comforted: "I can understand your mood, but please control your emotions for the time being and don't embarrass Pietro who is caught in the middle."
Wanda was stunned for a moment. She was immersed in her personal emotions and then noticed Pietro's tangled expression.
"...I'm sorry, I wasn't targeting you."
"fine."
Pietro twitched his lips and forced a smile: "I will go search for survivors first, Lu, and Wanda will be left to you to take care of for the time being."
It goes without saying that Pietro was also holding a fire in his heart. He started quickly and disappeared into a stream of silver light before everyone's eyes.
Except for those who are born cold and psychopathic, no one can remain indifferent after seeing the tragic destruction of their hometown.
"boom!"
A tall figure fell from the sky and landed right next to Lu Xiao and Wanda.
This person was none other than Thor, the God of Thunder, who was holding a war hammer. He, who was always open-minded, didn't look very good at this moment.
"Lu, Hill said you wanted to see me if you had something to do?"
"Um."
Lu Xiao patted Thor's strong arm encouragingly: "When do you plan to return to Asgard? Take me with you. I have something to discuss with the God King."
Thor looked back at the devastated Skovia, pursed his lips and said, "Wait a little longer, at least until the first round of search and rescue is over."
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that it is almost impossible for survivors to survive in Skovia after falling from an altitude of several thousand meters.
But even if there is only one ten thousandth chance, the heroes of the Avengers still hope to find the lucky person who may exist.
The first round of search and rescue happens to be within the golden 24 hours. If no survivors can be found...the subsequent rounds of rescue will simply be a matter of human resources.
"Right."
The single-celled Thor had been immersed in the afterglow of the Battle of Skovia, and Lu Xiao's reminder reminded him of another battlefield.
"How is Dormammu? Did my father defeat him?"
Lu Xiao sighed and said: "Winning is a win, but the price paid is not small."
"God King Odin is in poor health. This time he is overstretched in order to fully activate the Eternal Spear. You'd better rush back to see him as soon as possible."
