Although Mordo has such shortcomings, he is great as a support!
He is strict in abiding by the rules, and is able to prevent the next Sorcerer Supreme from causing an unmanageable situation due to negligence... But there is no other way, Ancient One no longer has the opportunity to train the next Sorcerer Supreme.
Until now, Gu Yi has not chosen who will be her successor.
After all, Strange did not meet her requirements, so she drove out all the other young people.
"What should we do now?" Thor saw Mordo trying to use the teleportation spell again and again and failing, and he was a little confused, so he turned to ask Kai.
Kai shrugged. "How should I know? Just wait... Either everything will be fine, or we'll all be doomed... Oh, by the way, let Heimdall be prepared. If something really goes wrong, let him use the Rainbow Bridge to save as many people as he can. When that time comes, the people on Earth will still need your help to take care of them."
The Rainbow Bridge is undoubtedly a legion-level teleportation device that can transport an entire legion from one end of the universe to the other in an instant.
But no matter how powerful the Rainbow Bridge is, it can't send all seven billion humans away. Besides, seven billion people, although Asgard is vast, it can't accommodate seven billion people... Asgard may be very powerful, but their population is actually not that large. Much less than the people on Earth.
Their size simply cannot accommodate so many Earthlings. As for how many people they can save in the end...it depends on fate.
Thor was stunned for a moment: "Then you... I mean, what about you? Will you go back to Asgard with me?"
He could tell that what Kai said was not a good thing, as if he would die in the next second.
"The earth is doomed, and it would be torture for me to continue living. It would be better for us to die together." Kai thought he was a tough guy with excellent psychological quality. But if he thought about it, the whole earth would explode, and all his relatives and friends would be gone, and his hometown would be gone... He really didn't know what was the point of living.
Besides, everyone else died, and he himself survived... He really didn't know how he could face the terrible guilt.
This is survivor guilt.
Also called survivor guilt!
I once watched a movie from the United States called "Go Fighting". The protagonist Brandon, a former drug addict, was determined to change himself for the sake of his children. After going through untold hardships, he finally became a firefighter and established a deep friendship with his teammates. However, in a fire, 19 of his teammates were trapped and eventually failed to be rescued and died in the sea of fire. Brandon survived because he was sent to observe the fire and became the only survivor of the disaster. Faced with such a change, Brandon fell into deep self-blame and guilt. He kept asking himself: "Why did I survive?" He even felt that any teammate who survived would be more meaningful than himself.
Why do people who survive disasters feel such heavy feelings of guilt?
A study on shipwrecks revealed that up to 60% of survivors suffered from guilt after the disaster. When people related to oneself die or are injured in a traumatic event, but the individual miraculously escapes, this experience often makes the individual believe that they are responsible for the misfortune of others, thus falling into painful guilt. This phenomenon is called "survivor guilt." Of course, this feeling is not limited to guilt, but is also mixed with complex negative emotions such as regret, self-blame, anxiety and pain.
Survivor guilt may be closely related to the following three situations:
First, when others are facing life-threatening situations but they themselves are safe and sound, individuals may fall into deep reflection and question why they survived. This self-blame may stem from the following three considerations: First, society generally promotes heroism, which may lead individuals to mistakenly believe that their survival instinct is shameful in certain circumstances; second, individuals may believe that others "deserve survival" more than themselves; finally, individuals may believe that the sacrifice of others has exchanged for their own survival. Taking the movie "Go Forward" as an example, Brandon survived the fire, but had to face the grief of the firefighters' families alone. His existence means that the death of other firefighters must be declared. As a former drug addict, Brandon was the object of "rescue" by other team members. Faced with the disappointed eyes of other family members, he may repeatedly ask himself: "Why didn't I die?"
Second, blame yourself for not taking certain actions (such as rescue operations).
Brandon went down the mountain early and listened to his teammates' helpless cries for help in the car. He felt deeply distressed. He felt guilty for not being able to face the difficulties with his teammates and was helpless to help his teammates scream in the sea of fire... Survivors with guilt often reflect on their "inadequacies" in traumatic events, that is, survivor guilt may drive individuals to repeatedly think-"If I had..., they might have been able to..."
In fact, survivor guilt is not limited to extreme traumatic events, but also often occurs in situations such as layoffs and exams in daily life.
When facing an important exam, someone was lucky enough to review the key points, but failed to inform his friend in time, and his friend failed the exam. Seeing his friend fall into sadness and anxiety because of the exam results, many people will attribute their friend's "misfortune" to their own silence and uselessness, thus feeling guilty.
The third is that one has caused harm to others. Survivor guilt not only occurs in traumatic events, but may also stem from certain behaviors in daily life. This sense of guilt may arise when an individual realizes that he or she may have caused harm to others in certain situations. For example, in a family, a child who is favored may feel guilty for his or her lucky position. They may think that their existence deprives other brothers and sisters of their love. This sense of guilt is often accompanied by moral self-criticism and an increased sense of responsibility. Many people fall into the dilemma of "survivor guilt". They may subconsciously take on more responsibilities and even alleviate their guilt by self-deprecating and meeting the requirements of others. But in fact, these "survivors" who feel guilty often do not intentionally harm or deprive others of their interests and right to survive. However, "survivor guilt" puts them in a dilemma of self-suppression and self-punishment, which in turn damages their physical and mental health.
Kai is a very hard-hearted person, and he would not go too far in killing people without blinking an eye.
Kai is known for his ruthlessness when handling cases. Whenever there is an arrest, Kai will generally not let go of anyone unless they immediately drop their weapons and surrender... Of course, many times, Kai will not give them the chance to surrender... This is also the reason why human rights organizations have always disliked Kai.
By the way, the human rights organizations in the United States are quite interesting. They take care of the whole world, but they don’t care about human rights issues in the United States.
These people are very good at judging people and treating them accordingly.
Kai is the type they dislike the most. Not only does he ignore human rights issues, he also refuses to pay protection fees!!!
The latter point is particularly important.
Before Kai took over the Wayne Group, the Wayne Group, like many other capitals, would donate to various organizations... In fact, it was just protection money!
This situation is very common. After all, the main source of funding for these so-called non-governmental organizations, in addition to government grants, is donations from wealthy individuals and companies!
This is the legendary NGO, the full name of which is Non-Governmental Organization. This kind of organization, as the name indicates, is a non-governmental organization, with no government intervention and is independent of the government.
So, why do NGOs exist?
Although the government is the highest ruling body of the country, there are still some areas and functions that it cannot take care of, and NGOs are specifically designed to fill these functional gaps. Therefore, NGOs and the government have a similar complementary relationship. They are independent of the government and their purpose is to make society run better, make people live better, and fight for welfare and voice for some special groups. So, are NGOs really completely independent of the government and an organization that serves the people of the world? At least at the beginning, it was true. The earliest NGO can be traced back to the International Red Cross in the 19th century, which specializes in providing medical assistance in war-torn areas around the world. This organization can really serve vulnerable groups and bring benefits to backward areas.
Next, let’s talk about the situation of NGOs in the United States.
The United States was founded relatively late, but its development and rise are particularly rapid. Therefore, there are many old NGOs in the United States that have been established for hundreds of years, such as the Carnegie Foundation, which was established in 1911. Some foundations were established in recent decades, such as the Soros Foundation established by Soros in 1979. However, most NGOs that are used to fill the gaps in government services were established very early. Generally speaking, foundations that were established in recent decades are either dedicated to charity or have other intentions, such as the Soros Foundation mentioned above. The United States is the most powerful country in the world, and there are more than two million NGOs in the country, covering almost all aspects of human activities. Just imagine, if these organizations were controlled by the US government, how terrible it would be.
Since it is a non-governmental organization, where does their money come from?
NGOs usually have four sources of funding: First, membership fees. Simply put, members of an organization have to pay some fees regularly. But generally speaking, the amount of money paid is not much and cannot sustain the operation of an organization.
Second, sell products and services.
NGO refers to non-governmental organization, but this does not mean that it is a non-profit organization. In fact, many of them charge fees.
The third point is private donations.
This channel is an important source of income for NGOs. Many wealthy people donate to such organizations, some for pure charity and some for other purposes, such as Soros, whom we will talk about later.
Fourth, the most important source of income for NGOs is government funding. Almost all large non-governmental organizations (NGOs) receive government funding. From this point alone, we can understand that those so-called NGOs actually rely on the government. The largest NGO in the United States, the National Endowment for Democracy, directly receives its income from the US Congressional funding, and the amount of funding is huge.
This is getting off topic. Anyway, after Kai took over the Wayne Group, he felt that these so-called organizations were useless, so he simply stopped donating to them. As a result... various officials went straight to Kai regarding anti-human rights issues, but unfortunately, Kai didn't care about them at all.
In short, Kai is a very tough guy, but that doesn't mean he has no heart!
If the earth were destroyed... Kai didn't think he had the courage to bear the guilt that could completely overwhelm a person... That's the weight of an entire world with seven billion people!
So Kai had already made up his mind that if things really came to that point, he might as well end it all together with the Earth!
Thor looked at Kai with wide eyes, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
After all, he only needed to put himself into the situation and he would be able to understand Kai's choice.
If one day, Asgard is destroyed, Thor will most likely be destroyed along with his hometown, rather than live in shame! (In fact, in the movie, Thor was decadent for a long time, and completely turned from a bodybuilder into a fat otaku)
Strange and the others did not express their opinions. Everyone had their own choices, and no one said whether Kai's choice was right or wrong, especially Strange. He made the same choice, but his choice was... to survive!
Then take revenge at all costs!
From this point of view, Strange is stronger than Kai, at least in his heart!
(In the Marvel Comics "What If...", Doctor Strange experienced a situation where the whole world was destroyed and he was the only one left, but he persisted. In that situation, he did not commit suicide. His psychological quality is amazing!)
At the moment when several people were talking!
The sea surface began to move.
"Tsunami?"
Kai lowered his head and looked around... He didn't expect that they were so unlucky that they would encounter a tsunami just by coming to a random place.
However, the next second, Kai overturned his judgment.
"No! It's not a tsunami! Something bigger is coming!"
I saw the sea surface rising up directly, as if a giant beast was about to emerge from the bottom of the sea.
No, it shouldn't be a giant beast, it's more like a mountain rising from the bottom of the sea!
A group of people immediately pulled up and flew higher.
Then their faces changed drastically, because when they flew to a certain altitude, they finally saw the whole picture!
one hand!
An enormous hand stretched out from the bottom of the sea!!!
The hand is made of marble with a golden glow, as if it were made of gold and marble.
It's very very big!
It stretched out from the depths of the sea and reached towards the sky, as if trying to pull it down.
Kai's face looked very ugly. No need to ask, this was definitely the God Group. Although he had never seen this thing so far, at this moment, except for this thing, nothing else could make such a noise!
This means... Ancient One has failed!!!
The Earth is doomed!
