Chapter 363 The Death of Ancient 1, the New Supreme Mage
What is death?
John knew four people who actively sought death.
One is his teacher, Nico Flamel, the greatest alchemist who lived for 665 years.
The second was his wife, the equally great and gentle Perenal Flamel, with whom he spent hundreds of years together.
The Philosopher's Stone can give them longevity, but it can also destroy their bodies and emotions.
They decided to destroy the Philosopher's Stone, and after reserving enough elixirs for themselves to deal with the subsequent inheritance, they lay on the bed, holding hands, and left calmly.
It was a death that lasted for a long time, from a human perspective, a long journey accompanied by a loved one.
For them, death is an opportunity to rest comfortably in bed after traveling for a long time.
This is the relief of death.
The third one is Albus Dumbledore, who has a spirit of self-dedication and self-sacrifice.
His death is willing to be used as a bargaining chip to defeat evil and awaken conscience.
Perhaps this is why he was able to become friends with Nicolas Flamel. They were hundreds of years apart. Dumbledore was not famous for alchemy, but he followed the rules of alchemy.
Equivalent exchange.
The death of a great man evokes the rise of a hero.
This is what he wants to see.
John was the one Dumbledore was willing to die to wake up, and he refused this deal.
Let the great man who was willing to die calmly be drifting on an island.
He pursues a righteous death.
The fourth person is very special. He is the Dark Lord and a revolutionary.
Gellert Grindelwald, a man intent on changing the wizarding and Muggle worlds.
His death was a great sacrifice. Use your own death to dedicate yourself to the great Witch King, so that magic and wizards can become the noble people in this world that they should be.
He carefully calculated the arrival of death step by step. He was once a close friend with Dumbledore. As a young man, he was full of ambition and had the courage to change the world.
It was supposed to be a grand funeral. Grindelwald, who had calculated everything, had the ability of a prophet and could see further.
But what he didn't see was that the person he thought had a crush on him was willing to kneel down for him and beg the Witch King who he supported with one hand.
His subsequent voluntary death became a relief.
Imprisoned under the dark magic tower, he can never get out.
He did not dare to die, because although death was a kind of relief, the color like a phoenix bathing in flames that he hoped and longed to see would never appear again.
It is a death of despair.
Four people died, two people got their wish.
John once asked Ancient One how he felt after living for too long.
That was probably the most tiring and painful person John had ever seen in his life.
From the moment he learned magic, Gu Yi was destined to shoulder the mission of guardianship.
She went from being happy with it at the beginning to despair when new troubles were solved and new troubles were born again.
This world is very powerful and tolerates all living things, including humans who destroy their bodies wantonly.
This world is also very fragile. Its resources that appear to be rich and delicious to outsiders, as well as the power that brews life, are both coveted.
The Guardians need to solve the problem again and again.
She couldn't bear to worry about this world, so she could only go on for hundreds of years without rest again and again.
To maintain this body and powerful vitality, she must do things that violate the prohibitions of Kama Taj.
Absorb the power of the dark dimension.
It kept her alive.
But the trouble doesn't stop.
They will become more numerous and more frequent.
The Asgardian gods who come in and out of this world at will, the Frost Giants who once invaded the earth.
The battle for the throne brought about the Chitauri army, and the convergence of celestial bodies brought about the dark elves and unknown variables.
The spies of many lords of hell, believers in the development of Dormammu in the dark dimension.
The Phoenix power from the universe resides in the chaos of magic.
Not all outsiders are kind to the world.
The powerful God King conquered the nine realms. How should the Supreme Mage respond that time?
All information has been lost in the future, and the successive appearance of superheroes has also made the world begin to have the ability to protect itself.
What made her make up her mind were two factors.
One is the appearance of Stephen. Ancient One, who has the ability to see the future, knows that this person will be the best Supreme Mage, a calm Mage who can maintain his original intention.
His appearance gave Kama Taj a firm executor to protect her.
And absorbing the darkness herself will shake the Karma Taj Master who regards her as a spiritual leader.
The second is for her to seize the unstable factor in this chaotic future.
Witch King.
A person who affects and even changes the future.
The fog of the future exists because of the Witch King.
His thoughts and decisions made the world blurry.
It is like a new program inserted into a stable program. Complex algorithms are more unstable.
No one knows his future but himself, including the Sorcerer Supreme.
He is the king of magic, a man with potential equal to Emperor Weishan.
He was also ambitious, although he didn't show it.
But Ancient One could sense his desire for power.
Greed is ambitious and unruly.
When Gu Yi found John, both of them had absorbed dark energy, but they had completely different attitudes.
Gu Yi's caution and helplessness.
John's ambition, greed.
The scales of the Bicorn continue to give him the power to draw into the dark dimension.
Ancient One also didn't know how much dark energy John had in his body now.
Complex darkness and light blur the boundaries.
But Gu Yi saw John's love for his friends and family, which convinced her that the Witch King's selfishness would not destroy the world.
So she decided to die.
A hearty death, an awakening of the protective heart and the final lesson.
Stephen became a participant in this examination, and John became a witness to this examination.
The Book of Vesanti is in John's hand.
He came to the hospital and saw Gu Yi who was rescuing people.
It's really ridiculous that a generation of supreme mage actually chose a ridiculous way to die.
Is this to remind Steve that even if he has magic that can change the world, he is still a human being?
John, who had learned the magic of Kama Taj, found the two people who were in an out-of-body experience.
"What is death?" John asked looking at Ancient One.
The mysterious smile on Gu Yi's face was different from the one before, but a smile without calculation or consideration, only pure.
"It's sudden, it's hesitant, it's a journey that suddenly starts after letting go of everything."
Ancient One said: "Your teacher lies down on the soft bed after the journey. Then I put down the burden and move towards the journey with the most relaxed attitude."
She held Stephen's hand in her left hand and reached out to John with her right hand.
