The mont he appeared above Kamar-Taj, several sorcerers imdiately took notice.
At first, they didn't react much upon seeing a white-clad figure in the sky. But when they recognized who it was, their expressions changed drastically.
"White Cloak?"
"Why is White Cloak here at Kamar-Taj?"
"Quick, inform the Sorcerer Supre!"
As they were panicking, a golden portal shimred into existence. From it stepped out a bald woman in a yellow robe—none other than the Sorcerer Supre, Ancient One.
Following closely behind her were several sorcerers. Among them was Wong, dressed in black and red robes, his stocky fra and Asian features unmistakable. Beside him stood Mordo, clad in pale green robes, his dark complexion setting him apart.
Even Doctor Strange and Kaecilius erged from the portal monts later.
The mont they stepped out, their gazes turned skyward, locking onto the white-clad figure.
Ancient One's expression was solemn as she spoke, "White Cloak?"
"Why have you co to Kamar-Taj?"
Under the scrutinizing gazes of the sorcerers below, Syd didn't bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"I need the Ti Stone inside the Eye of Agamotto. Hand it over to ."
As soon as the words left his mouth, not only did Ancient One's expression change, but so did those of Doctor Strange and the others.
They all knew exactly what the Ti Stone was—and just how dangerous it could be.
"White Cloak, what do you need the Ti Stone for?"
"The Ti Stone carries imnse risks. If misused, it could destabilize reality itself." Ancient One frowned.
Before she could finish speaking, Syd simply raised his right hand.
In the next mont, the golden Infinity Gauntlet on his hand radiated light, its six embedded Infinity Stones glowing in unison.
The brilliance was dazzling, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present, including Ancient One.
"Six Infinity Stones?"
"White Cloak has collected all six?"
"That's impossible!"
Gasps of shock echoed among the gathered sorcerers. They stared at him in disbelief.
"Wait a minute, isn't the Ti Stone with the Sorcerer Supre? Then how does he have one?"
All eyes turned to Ancient One, who was just as taken aback. She quickly made a gesture, and the Eye of Agamotto on her chest opened, revealing the unmistakable green glow of the Ti Stone.
The Ti Stone was still there!
Seeing this, everyone let out a small breath of relief. But at the sa ti, a new question arose in their minds—if the Ti Stone was still with Ancient One, then where did White Cloak's co from?
A fake?
A replica?
Syd's calm voice interrupted their speculation.
"No need to guess. This Ti Stone was created by —it's a counterfeit."
"Of course, while it may be fake, its effects are indistinguishable from the real one, at least for a limited ti."
As he spoke, the green glow of the "counterfeit" Ti Stone intensified.
The next mont, sothing shocking happened—Doctor Strange and the others found themselves unable to move!
No, rather than being physically restrained, the flow of ti around them had slowed to an extre degree, making it impossible for them to move freely.
Fortunately, Ancient One's Eye of Agamotto pulsed with green light, counteracting the anomaly and restoring their movent.
The mont they regained their mobility, Wong and the others erupted into hushed discussions.
"That was definitely the power of the Ti Stone!"
"But how can it be a fake if it works just like the real one?"
"He actually managed to create a working replica of an Infinity Stone?"
As their disbelief grew, Syd's steady voice echoed once more.
"Ancient One, have you made your decision?"
"Will you hand over the Ti Stone, or will we fight?"
Below, Ancient One took in the sight of the white-clad figure in the sky and the six glowing Infinity Stones on his gauntlet. She then glanced at the sorcerers around her, took a deep breath, and slowly extended her hand toward the Eye of Agamotto.
A mont later, she withdrew the real Ti Stone.
"Sorcerer Supre, you can't!"
"We can't let him take the Ti Stone!"
Wong and the others were visibly alard, trying to stop her.
If White Cloak truly gained possession of the Ti Stone, then no one—not even now—could stand against him!
...Though, to be fair, no one could stand against him now anyway.
Ignoring their protests, Ancient One simply shook her head. Holding the Ti Stone delicately between her thumb and forefinger, she raised it before her.
"Take it, White Cloak. I hope you use it wisely."
Syd lifted his right hand.
A deep crimson glow of Chaos Magic wrapped around the green Ti Stone in Ancient One's hand.
With a swift motion, the Ti Stone flew toward him.
As he gazed at the real Ti Stone in front of him, even Syd couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The final Infinity Stone—at last, it was his!
While possessing all six Infinity Stones didn't make one truly invincible, it did elevate one to a universe-level existence, granting dominion over an entire cosmos with ease.
But just as he was about to affix the real Ti Stone to his gauntlet, a panicked voice suddenly rang out from above.
"White Cloak, I need your help!"
Hmm?
Not only did Syd hear the voice, but so did Ancient One and the others below.
"Who's that?"
"Where's the voice coming from?"
Doctor Strange and the others were puzzled.
Then, Syd's gaze sharpened as he sensed sothing.
Turning his head, he stared into the sky.
With a resounding CRASH, the very fabric of space shattered like glass.
A figure in a blue robe, sporting an oversized head, tumbled out from the fractured void.
BOOM!
He crashed heavily onto the ground, forming a crater in his shape.
Dust and debris billowed into the air.
While the ordinary sorcerers of Kamar-Taj were still trying to process what had happened, the more skilled among them—Mordo included—imdiately sensed the gravity of the situation.
This person... seed to be from another universe?
As confusion spread, a new figure erged from the rift in the sky.
Floating down was a being with a tallic body and a red head, exuding an eerie presence.
"Who is that?"
"Doesn't look human... so kind of machine?"
Since the Mind Stone had always been in Syd's possession, Vision had never co into existence. As a result, Doctor Strange and the others had no idea who this being was.
No—rather, it wasn't Vision at all!
"That's Ultron!"
The Watcher, still sprawled in his crater, struggled to rise as he called out in alarm.
