For Stephen Strange, what he has experienced since his car accident has been like a dream.
But this dream was not a sweet dream, but the worst nightmare.
His most confident skills were completely lost due to the comminuted fractures of his hands, and his life suddenly became gloomy. Not to mention, the only doctor who could cure him was himself. This ironic thing was simply the biggest mockery of his life.
.
Just like when he was a child, he determined to become a doctor because his sister was injured in an accident, but when his sister drowned, he was not with his sister because he was studying medicine.
From then on his enthusiasm for medicine turned into indifference, although he graduated from medical school with honors and became a highly skilled and renowned doctor.
While this made Stephen famous, it also made him arrogant.
He even refused to visit his seriously ill father, which led to a huge conflict with his younger brother. After the two had a big quarrel, the younger brother rushed out of the door, but was hit and killed by a car.
All these experiences and blows made Stephen become more indifferent and selfish, which also made him only believe in the scalpel in his hand and his own medical skills, because these will not betray him and will bring him money.
, reputation and status.
But in the end, the pillar that supported his inner pride and life collapsed. Along with the shattering fractures of his hands, everything was lost, and he became a cripple.
The inner pride prevented Stephen from accepting to become a teaching assistant or an academic research doctor, which also led to his eventual poverty and relegation to the streets.
When the words of the Red Dragon Queen finally made it clear to him that everything he had suffered was just a test given to him by fate, a tribulation that had been arranged by fate, Stephen fell into deep self-doubt. He was doubting himself.
What is the meaning of his life, and what is the meaning of all the suffering he has experienced?
If the setbacks of fate are to temper himself, then Stephen is willing to accept any personal hardships calmly, but why should he lose all his relatives?
His beloved sister drowned and his brother died in a car accident... If all of this was fate, then Stephen spurned the so-called fate and cursed this damn fate.
He once had the idea of resisting this so-called fate, and wanted to choose suicide, choose crime, and choose a destiny that was completely different from what the Red Dragon Queen said that he would become the guardian of the earth.
But the pride in his heart made him unwilling, because the Red Dragon Queen had denied his qualification to become the successor of the Earth's Guardian, which meant denying his destiny.
This not only made Stephen very confused, but also made him very angry. If he was not qualified to become the successor of the guardian of the earth, then what was the meaning of the family and everything he had lost?
In particular, the other party denied his qualifications as a doctor and denied himself in the field in which he was most proud, which Stephen could not accept no matter what.
Treat illnesses and save people? Maybe this is what Stephen thought before his sister drowned, but when he completely lost his motivation to study medicine, he had already despised medical skills, because studying medicine could not save his sister, let alone bring his brother back to life.
.
But just because of this mentality, the Red Dragon Queen denied the meaning of all the suffering he had suffered in life, and even denied the meaning of his life as a doctor and the pride of his life. This made Stephen
Unacceptable in any case.
He could not accept this fact no matter what, or persuade himself to change his inner view of medical skills, which made him more and more depressed.
Stephen Strange is a man who is so proud that he can be described as arrogant. From a famous doctor sought after by everyone to a homeless man on the street, this huge gap has filled his heart with rejection and inability to accept.
Now the Red Dragon Queen has denied everything in his life, which makes him eager to ask for an explanation and an explanation.
In other words, reasons that can convince yourself to accept all this.
The first thing Stephen thought of was naturally the Red Dragon Queen who had denied everything about him. Although he did not believe in the existence of magic deep down in his heart, it was true that the Red Dragon Queen completely sealed his mouth that day.
In addition, he didn't know who else to go to for an explanation, so he had no choice but to go to the Red Dragon Queen.
It's just that he looked like a down-and-out homeless man, and he was blocked by guards and security guards at the door. If he hadn't been quick to hide when he saw the opportunity, he might have been thrown into the street for the third time.
After seeking help to no avail, Stephen found Kristine again with a frown. He waited outside her house all day before Kristine came home from get off work. He almost frightened Kristine because of his image as a homeless man.
Jump.
But after all, Kristen still sympathized with Stephen, expressed sympathy for his experience, and wanted to know the truth about it all.
Although the Red Dragon Queen gave her an explanation, it was only a brief explanation. After all, mortals are not suitable for understanding too much.
But this did not suppress Christine's curiosity, she also wanted to know what all this was about.
So with the help of Christine, Stephen cleaned up his poor image, and then he and her went to Hiromi Jonouchi's office again and met the Red Dragon Queen.
At this time, the Red Dragon Queen was not alone. There were two other people, a man and a woman, sitting in her office.
Naturally, the man learned the news here and projected Chen Mo, who was projected with divine power, while the woman was Master Gu Yi.
Seeing that although Stephen had cleaned up fairly well, he was still in a state of desolation that was visible to the naked eye, Chen Mo said to Hiromi Jonouchi on the side: "Sister-in-law, are you playing too hard?"
"Who said this guy has no medical ethics? As a doctor, he doesn't think about saving lives, but only thinks about how to make money. He deserves to be unlucky." Hiromi Jonouchi did not hide her dislike of Stephen, and she even added: "Besides,
Yes, poverty is also his inevitable destiny, I just made him become a pauper in a different way."
After hearing this, Stephen couldn't bear it anymore. He asked Hiromi Jonouchi and Chen Mo: "Why? Why is all this I have experienced?"
No matter who you are, you can't help but feel angry when you hear others talk wantonly or even control your own destiny.
At this point, even if Christine next to her pulled hard, it only prevented Stephen from jumping in front of Chen Mo and Jonouchi Hiromi.
"To test whether you are qualified to take on the important task of protecting the earth and guarding the destiny of mankind." It was Chen Mo who spoke. He put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Stephen seriously, and explained to him: "The Battle of New York must have happened.
You also understand that this is not the first time such a disaster has happened to mankind, but in the past some people blocked the threats from darkness.
But now, this guardian who has protected mankind for hundreds of years wants to retire. She hopes to select a successor with talent and responsibility from today's humans to take over this heavy responsibility, so we have to set a test
, to test those who are qualified.”
"So I am the chosen one?" Stephen pointed to his nose, feeling a little proud for no reason.
However, this pride was soon shattered by Chen Mo. He shook his head and said: "You are just the most suitable person according to the trajectory of fate, but it does not mean that you are the chosen one. Besides you, there are others
Other suitable candidates to become successors.
And judging from your current performance, you are the worst performer among all the candidates, and therefore you will be disqualified."
Hearing this, Stephen suddenly felt unacceptable. Recalling his experiences during this period, he asked Chen Mo very dissatisfied: "Have other candidates experienced the same thing as me? I don't believe they are
You can perform better than me when encountering all this! You must be targeting me!"
"Really?" Facing Stephen's doubts, Chen Mo did not explain anything. He just smiled and asked him: "If you are thin, frail and sick since childhood, and have been bullied by others, will you be willing to serve when the country is in need?
Stand up and fight for the just cause of mankind? Can you still not forget your original intention and insist on the justice in your heart after going through all the difficulties and obstacles?
Can you be shot through the chest by a weapon you made and shrapnel threatens your life at any time, but still not give up and come up with a solution and try to undo the mistakes you have made?
Can you face the tragic battlefields of World War II and the brutal German Nazis with firm confidence to defeat them?
Can you still not give up hope in a world with no hope left, work hard to make the world a better place, and challenge a powerful enemy that is almost impossible to defeat?
Or, can you always have hope, never give up no matter what difficulties you face, and insist on standing up to fight against the enemy even if you are knocked down again and again? When faced with a choice, are you willing to give up your life for mankind?
?
You can't do it, so you are eliminated."
Chen Mo spoke very calmly, and his attitude was not at all contemptuous or discriminatory. It could even be said to be very sincere.
But this sincerity and calmness made Stephen feel even more humiliated and shocked. He asked unconvinced: "Who can do all this? No one can do this!"
"Captain America and Iron Man, by the way, they have passed the test for them." Chen Mo's answer was still very calm and without hypocrisy: "And even if they have not taken over the responsibility that should belong to you
, they will still fight hard for this world, even if it requires them to sacrifice their lives."
Captain America and Iron Man are now well-known superheroes all over the world. Naturally, their morals and achievements cannot be slandered by a penniless homeless man like Stephen.
So even though he was still dissatisfied in his heart, when faced with superheroes like Captain America and Iron Man as examples, Stephen could only shut up angrily.
Originally, the matter could have ended here. After all, Stephen had been eliminated and everything had nothing to do with him.
Hiromi Jonouchi also healed his hands. As long as he can reflect on his past arrogance, he can return to the operating table and regain his previous life.
But for Stephen, this is still an unacceptable result.
He always felt that his life should not be played and manipulated like this, especially the death of his own relatives.
This made him couldn't help but ask Chen Mo: "Are the deaths of my family members also part of the test? My sister, my brother! My family! Are they also part of the test?"
"Your sister and brother?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment. He had only watched Marvel-related movies, and there was no description of Stephen's family in the movie, so he didn't know much about them.
Just when he was about to take out the time gem to see what happened in the past, Master Gu Yi, who had been silent on the side, finally said: "They are not part of the test, but a part of your life. They are your most precious
Your family is also the source of suffering in your life."
"Who are you?" Listening to Gu Yi's explanation, Stephen suddenly felt angry. He could not listen to any explanation or persuasion at this time. In his heart, he only felt the pain of the death of his relatives and the anger of his own destiny being played with.
"She is the guardian I just mentioned. The guardian who has protected the earth from the erosion of the dark dimension and various threats for hundreds of years, the Supreme Master Ancient One from Kama Taj." Chen Mo introduced Gu Yi.
As one, he also looked at Stephen with a scrutinizing gaze: "I have to say, maybe my sister-in-law's judgment is right. You may indeed have great potential, but your arrogance has also ruined your career.
Life makes you lose opportunities.
Maybe after you have suffered more hardships like your original destiny, you will regret your past and repent of your past to become qualified to become the successor of the Supreme Mage. But now I have to declare that you have lost this qualification.
Please leave here."
Chen Mo's evaluation of Stephen is also lowering, because up to this moment, his heart is more driven by self-centered emotions, anger that his own destiny has been toyed with, loss of his own pride being destroyed, and dissatisfaction with the value of life being denied.
Although he said that his anger came from the fact that the death of his sister and brother was an arranged fate, he never reflected that he was the culprit of all this.
Just like what happened on the original timeline, before taking over the responsibility of the Supreme Mage, Stephen was always thinking about himself. He only wanted to heal his hands when he learned spells, and his greedy learning of knowledge at Kama Taj was only
But because of his thirst for knowledge, he even peeked into forbidden books and stole the Eye of Agamotto, a sacred object.
It was not until the end that Master Gu Yi's sacrifice finally allowed him to have some remorse and change his ways.
If there is no other choice, Gu Yi may still choose this path, but the people who make the decision now are Chen Mo and the two supreme gods. They do not have so much free time to wait for Stephen's change and growth, and they have no intention to enlighten him.
Awakening, so I can only regretfully announce that he has been eliminated.
