No one present had ever seen a soul. Before they knew about the Soul Stone, they weren't even sure such a thing existed.
Even after learning about the existence of such a magical thing through the Soul Stone, seeing one for the first time still caught everyone off guard.
Of course, "soul" was just a guess; no one could confirm it yet.
After all, no one had actually seen this thing before.
As everyone stared in stunned silence, the translucent Doctor Strange on the screen seemed to be swimming, moving towards the operating table.
At this moment, Christine was holding the long syringe, aiming, and about to inject it into Doctor Strange's chest.
"A little higher."
The translucent Doctor Strange suddenly spoke, reminding Christine.
"Ah!"
A scream ripped through the roof, and Christine jumped, nearly falling to the ground, her face paling.
It was as if she'd seen a ghost.
No, in a way, Christine had seen a ghost.
"Don't be nervous, watch the needle."
The translucent Doctor Strange was startled by Christine's reaction too, and quickly spoke to her.
If she flinched, he might end up with a hole in his heart, and then Doctor Strange would be the world's most wronged ghost.
"Stephen?" Christine stared at the floating, translucent Doctor Strange, her heart still racing. "What did I see?"
"This is my soul," Doctor Strange, now translucent, explained to Christine.
It really is a soul!
The audience watching on screen was utterly shocked when their unbelievable guess was confirmed.
So, this is what a soul looks like!
What a learning experience.
"Are you dead?" Christine asked, breathing heavily, still finding it hard to believe.
"No, I'm not dead yet, but I'm about to be," Doctor Strange's soul replied to Christine.
"Alright!"
Christine took several deep breaths, picked up the syringe again, and went back to the operating table, intending to continue treating Doctor Strange.
Doctor Strange's soul poked his chest with his hand, and his body instantly became transparent.
The distribution of the internal blood clots was now clear.
Whether to go up or down, Christine could see it clearly without saying a word, and she smoothly inserted the needle.
While Christine was saving Doctor Strange, on the other side of the portal.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Lucien was still struggling desperately, but he couldn't break free from the cloak's restraint.
At this moment, he suddenly did a backbend, and then, his soul also flew out of his body.
This scene also stunned everyone. Another soul flew out?
Could these sorcerers all have out-of-body experiences?
That was a bit overpowered, wasn't it?
Lucien's soul instantly passed through the portal, through the walls, and arrived in the operating room.
Doctor Strange's soul saw this and his head began to ache.
"I need to disappear for a bit. Please don't let me die, okay?" Doctor Strange's soul charged towards Lucien's soul.
The two souls then engaged in an intense and novel battle.
It was as if they were weightless in space.
Everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly made a decision in their hearts: no matter what, they could never offend a sorcerer, otherwise, even in death, the sorcerer could chase after your soul and beat you up.
Too terrifying.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two souls fought from here to there, and then from there back to here.
Poor Doctor Strange, he wasn't a match for Lucien when he was alive, and even in death, he was still being toyed with. Finally, Lucien's flying kick sent his soul reeling, knocking him unconscious.
Beep!
At that moment, the curve showing Doctor Strange's heartbeat on the heart monitor immediately flattened into a straight line.
It indicated that Doctor Strange's heart had stopped.
Christine didn't dare hesitate for a moment. She immediately grabbed the defibrillator and began to shock Doctor Strange.
Zap!
A surge of electricity erupted.
A powerful burst of energy suddenly exploded from Doctor Strange's soul, sending Lucien's soul flying.
Beep beep beep!
The heart monitor immediately showed that Doctor Strange's heartbeat had resumed, and Christine couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
But at that moment, a head suddenly popped out in front of Christine, almost scaring the soul out of her.
It was Doctor Strange's soul: "Increase the voltage and shock me again!"
"Don't scare me like that!" Christine said, still shaken. Then she added, puzzled, "But you already have a heart."
"Just do it!" Doctor Strange's soul said before drifting away.
He rushed forward and grabbed Lucien's soul.
Meanwhile, Christine, following Doctor Strange's instructions, had increased the voltage to maximum and shocked Doctor Strange's body.
Doctor Strange's soul, as if electrocuted, suddenly erupted with terrifying energy, and he actually blasted Lucien's soul to pieces.
That wasn't an exaggeration; it was truly blasted apart.
Blown into nothingness, it dissipated between heaven and earth.
"To have your soul completely wiped out... that's truly tragic," Star-Lord couldn't help but exclaim, clicking his tongue. The death was a bit too thorough.
Doctor Strange, on the operating table, abruptly opened his eyes.
After this thrilling and terrifying emergency rescue, he was finally alive.
"Are you alright?" Christine couldn't help but stare at Doctor Strange, asking.
"I'm fine!" Doctor Strange also breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene froze here.
"I have to say, this was a novel, even bizarre, emergency rescue," Tony Stark couldn't help but exclaim first.
"Your own soul leaving your body to guide others in saving you, I can only say... I'm completely defeated," even Thor couldn't help but cast a look of worship at Strange. To have your soul leave your body to help save your own life, that's what a true boss is.
"Honestly, I'm a little freaked out," Doctor Strange admitted.
His worldview had been violently shattered by that footage, and he still hadn't fully processed it.
It wasn't just Doctor Strange; everyone else present was similarly affected, each of them somewhat shocked.
Casually twisting and changing the environment, traversing space, and astral projection – everything displayed in the footage had utterly shattered their understanding of reality.
Even though they were all extraordinary individuals, and despite knowing various incredible and bizarre people and events through the quiz system, they were still shaken after watching the footage.
If the quiz system hadn't played the footage, they definitely wouldn't have believed it. They'd have scoffed.
How could anyone in the world possibly do such things?
It was simply a joke!
But since it was the quiz system showing it, that meant it was all real.
In this world, there really exists a group that surpasses everyone's imagination, a group that is almost omnipotent: the sorcerers.
"Alright everyone, let's summarize this footage."
After everyone had been marveling for a while, Captain America straightened his expression and said to everyone.
"Although we don't know enough about sorcerers, they can control space and time, and they can also use all sorts of magical spells to do all sorts of incredible things. This is a very magical, but also very dangerous group."
Captain America's voice sounded very solemn. Thinking that there were so many powerful figures hidden on Earth, he felt very uneasy.
If these people weren't well-behaved, who could stand against them?
And according to Captain America's experience, people with great power often aren't very well-behaved.
"That fanatic of Dormammu, his purpose should be to destroy the Sanctums."
Black Widow spoke from the side, "The image said he draws energy from the Dark Dimension, aiming to defeat the Ancient One and destroy her sanctum."
"The 'London Sanctum'... if there's a London Sanctum, then there should be other sanctums in other parts of the world."
"This should be a secret, but large-scale organization of sorcerers."
Speaking of this, Black Widow's voice became serious, and she softly uttered four words: "Kamar-Taj!"
The biggest gain from this image was that it told them which organization Doctor Strange belonged to.
Everyone present made a decision: after this round of questions, they would definitely investigate Kamar-Taj thoroughly.
"Master Ancient One," Tony Stark also spoke, "Her status in Kamar-Taj should be very high, most likely the leader of the organization or something similar."
No one else had much doubt about this. After all, "the Ancient One's sanctum" already said a lot.
"Of course, the Ancient One is incredibly powerful," Tony Stark added. "Even that long-haired guy needed to draw energy from the Dark Dimension to defeat her."
"And, the Ancient One should have lived for a very long time."
Thor thought of something as well, and said to everyone, "I just don't know how long that 'very long time' is. But Kamar-Taj should have existed for a long time, right?"
Although everyone really didn't know how long the Ancient One had lived, thinking about the tip of the iceberg of Kamar-Taj that had been revealed, everyone agreed with Thor's words.
This kind of heaven-defying organization couldn't have developed in a short amount of time.
[Question: Thanos invaded Wakanda and fought against the superheroes. Who among the following characters caught Thanos's palm strike?] [A. Captain America Steve Rogers] [B. Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff]
[C, Iron Man Tony Stark]
[D, Drax the Destroyer]
[Friendly Reminder: Those who answer correctly will receive a reward: the first gate of the Eight Gates; those who answer incorrectly will randomly have an attribute deducted, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, and possessions…]
The system's prompt suddenly sounded, and everyone paused their discussion, collectively raising their heads to focus on the big screen.
The latest question still surprised and surprised everyone.
Someone had actually blocked Thanos's attack.
Everyone had witnessed firsthand how terrifying Thanos's combat power was; he was the one who effortlessly knocked out the Hulk in just a few moves.
Whoever it was in the options who caught Thanos's blow, they were no joke.
"Thanos invaded Wakanda, so this is the Battle of Wakanda? The battle where Director Fury turned to dust."
Black Widow spoke first, her voice filled with gravity.
The Battle of New York, the Battle of Wakanda, the final battle... these battles had always weighed heavily on everyone's minds.
They were like three mountains, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
The Battle of New York had already been avoided, so there was nothing to worry about. But the Battle of Wakanda and the final battle were still two mountains for everyone.
And this question would reveal some information about the Battle of Wakanda, so the older people present were very serious about this question.
"Took Thanos's blow? Whoever it was, that person's strength must be extraordinary." Thor spoke at this moment, saying to everyone, "Let's look at our four candidates."
Speaking of which, Thor turned his gaze to Captain America. "Rogers, no offense, but... although you're a super soldier, your strength shouldn't be that great, right?"
"You're certainly strong for a human, but that's Thanos we're talking about, the Mad Titan."
Thor's doubts were absolutely justified. Of the four options, Captain America appeared to be the weakest on the surface.
Moreover, Thor had spent a considerable amount of time at S.H.I.E.L.D. after being exiled to Earth by Odin and subsequently seeing Captain America wielding the hammer.
During that time, Thor was practically with Captain America every day, trying to understand how the Captain was worthy enough to wield the hammer.
They even worked together on missions.
So, Thor was very clear on Captain America's actual strength.
Frankly, in Thor's eyes, Captain America was actually quite weak.
"Thanos can easily defeat Hulk. Based on his demonstrated power, I definitely wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from him."
After some thought and comparison, Captain America Steve Rogers nodded in agreement.
"So, we can rule out Captain America?" Star-Lord shrugged, unable to help himself. "That option was eliminated a little too easily, wasn't it?"
It was so easy that Star-Lord felt uneasy. He didn't think the system would just hand them a free point like that.
"Don't overlook one thing," Tony Stark said after a moment of thought, offering a key insight. "This question isn't about the present; it's about the future!"
