As Kaecilius and his followers worried over potential threats, Syd activated the new mode of his divine core.
In an instant, countless threads of faith, which continually supplied devotion, began to channel back a radiant and mysterious golden energy-light energy, or divine power of light.
Kaecilius's Room
"What's happening?"
Kaecilius felt a surge of sacred and resplendent energy suddenly flood his body.
The weak light energy that had previously existed within him was instantly consud and replaced by this divine power.
At the sa ti, his physical body began to change.
As the divine light coursed through him, the frailty of his mortal body was replaced with vibrant vitality. His cells beca extraordinarily active, making him appear a decade younger. The aura of age and weariness dissipated almost entirely.
Moreover, as the divine power flowed through him, both his physical body and soul
underwent a profound transformation.
Unseen to the naked eye, his affinity for the mystical arts was dramatically heightened. Learning and casting magic beca significantly easier.
Considering Kaecilius's already impressive talent, this enhancent elevated him to an extraordinary level.
To ensure his survival in the coming conflicts, Syd infused Kaecilius with 30% of his divine light power-a considerable amount, even for Syd, though it could be replenished quickly.
For Kaecilius, however, this power was vast, seemingly infinite.
"This is a miracle!"
Feeling the divine presence of his god within the power, Kaecilius imdiately understood its source. His face lit up with astonishnt and joy.
Scanning the room, he noticed subtle changes in his fellow sorcerers, though none were as pronounced as his own.
The rejuvenation of his appearance and the oppressive energy emanating from him made it clear-Kaecilius had been profoundly transford.
"This is undoubtedly a miracle!"
"Our Lord has descended with a miracle for us!"
"The divine power of our God has been bestowed upon us!"
Feeling the divine power slowly refining their bodies, the sorcerers, including Perry and Tiana, were overwheld.
Their belief solidified further as they perceived an influx of divine energy improving them. As if responding to their thoughts, Syd sent a ssage through the threads of faith: Those who offer unwavering faith shall receive the gift of divine power. The more devout the believer, the greater the power bestowed. To the most faithful, divine miracles shall be granted.
"This is the ultimate blessing!"
The sorcerers cried out in unison, their eyes alight with fervent devotion.
In an instant, their faith deepened significantly, amplifying the flow of faith energy toward Syd.
As the influx of faith replenished Syd's reserves, a portion was converted back into divine power and redistributed to the believers, creating a virtuous cycle.
Feeling the increasing power within them, the sorcerers' confidence grew exponentially. Morning at Kamar-Taj
anwhile, Stephen Strange, taking advantage of Wong's absence from the library, decided to peruse the forbidden texts.
Ignoring Mordo and Wong's warnings, he thought, What harm could it do to take a look?
As he turned the pages of one forbidden to, munching on an apple, his attention was caught by a section describing the Eye of Agamotto.
The illustration on the page seed oddly familiar. Looking up, he spotted the very artifact displayed prominently in the library.
Previously worn by the Ancient One, the Eye of Agamotto was now inexplicably sitting before him.
After calling out for Wong and receiving no response, Stephen couldn't resist picking it up. "First, open the Eye of Agamotto..."
Following the instructions, he opened the artifact, revealing a soft green glow and the Ti Stone within.
Using the instructions in the forbidden text, he experinted with the ti magic on the apple.
Green magical runes appeared as the apple's state oscillated between decay and restoration, astounding Stephen.
Inspired, he turned to the damaged forbidden to and used the Ti Stone to restore the missing pages.
Within monts, the torn pages reappeared, complete with their original text.
Reading aloud, he muttered, "Dormammu... the Dark Dinsion... eternal life..."
Unable to resist, he attempted the magic described in the text.
Suddenly, layers of space appeared before him, like a fractured mirror.
At that mont, Wong burst into the library, shouting, "Stop!"
Startled, Stephen lost concentration, and the magic dissipated.
Hearing the commotion, Mordo rushed in and scolded him harshly. "How could you tamper with the boundaries of space-ti so recklessly?!"
"I was just following the instructions in the book," Stephen replied nervously.
"And did the book ntion the dangers of what you were doing?" Wong demanded.
"I didn't get that far..." Stephen admitted weakly.
Mordo, furious, exclaid, "Ti manipulation creates unstable branches of reality. A small mistake could lead to paradoxes or endless ti loops!"
"Do you want to be trapped in infinite repetitions or erased from existence entirely?!"
Stephen retorted, "Shouldn't these warnings be at the beginning of the spell?"
