The End of the World: Chaos

"Soul Gem, the fifth one!" Yang Yi said excitedly, his voice full of excitement and anticipation, "Now only Ancient One's Time Gem is left."

Ruth frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in her eyes, "This gem is a treasure from outer space, it is not easy to get. If we want to face the Ancient One directly, how can we get it easily?"

"You have a point." Yang Yi nodded, his thoughts drifting to the unfathomable power and rich experience of the Ancient One. "The Ancient One is already powerful. If he can rely on the Time Stone, he will be even more powerful and difficult to defeat."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Ruth frowned slightly, her tone revealing concern.

Yang Yi pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I want to wait for the right time. Now that the legend of Doctor Strange has begun, I just need to wait for his strength to grow. This will be a good opportunity for me to get close to the Ancient One."

"Doctor Strange? Where is he now?" Ruth asked curiously, the sweet milk in her hand emitting bursts of mellow aroma.

"His whereabouts are unknown, but I know he was in a car accident. From then on, he embarked on a long road of self-redemption, and this process may be long." Yang Yi replied, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Ruth was silent for a moment, put down the milk, walked to Yang Yi's side, and looked thoughtful. "If you really want to get the Time Stone, you should hurry up and implement this plan. Ancient One is a strong-willed person and will not compromise easily."

"However, we always need the right opportunity to achieve victory invisibly." Yang Yi smiled slightly. He had a well-thought-out plan in his mind, but he did not want to reveal it all to Ruth.

Ruth seemed to sense his thoughts, bit her lower lip, thought for a long time, and suddenly asked: "If Doctor Strange succeeds in his training, he will definitely stand shoulder to shoulder with Ancient One. How will you deal with it?"

"He will definitely join the Ancient One's side immediately, but I have other plans." Yang Yi said softly, with a calculating look in his eyes. "Dr. Strange will definitely meet someone like him during his growth process. If he can attract the Ancient One's attention, it may add some variables to my plan."

Ruth was slightly stunned, her brows furrowed, and her expression revealed uneasiness, "Are you planning to use the people around Doctor Strange?"

"Use? No, change." Yang Yi shook his head, not caring at all. "I want to use Doctor Strange's growth to get closer to the Ancient One, but if I can plan it cleverly, it will come naturally."

Ruth's expression was complicated and unpredictable. "But is this fair to Doctor Strange? If he gets hurt, it shouldn't be like this."

"This is his personal choice. Everyone has his own destiny." Yang Yi's eyes were firm, as if he had already made the decision. "And it is clear that the way to grow up will enable him to face future challenges independently. This is the meaning of his life."

Ruth stared at him, feeling a little nervous and expectant. "I hope you can consider the consequences. After all, you control not only the gems, but also the fate of everyone."

Yang Yi smiled slightly, stroked her shoulder, and softened his tone: "I will naturally act cautiously, Ruth. No matter what, I will protect you."

Ruth's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head and said softly, "I'm just worried about you, Yang Yi."

"I understand." Yang Yi said solemnly, "I am a person who fights against fate. Since I have chosen this path, I must bear the corresponding risks."

The atmosphere between the two of them gradually became solemn, and Yang Yi's thoughts returned to the soul gem. He knew clearly that he had embarked on a path of no return.

"Listen, Ruth." Yang Yi said softly, "If I can really get the Time Stone, are you willing to face the next challenge with me?"

Ruth raised her head, her eyes showing determination, "I am willing. Although I don't know what the future holds, I will support your choice."

"Thank you." Yang Yi smiled slightly, and a sweet feeling surged in his heart. The next layout is not only about Ancient One and Doctor Strange, but also more complicated situations that need to be dealt with urgently.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a roar suddenly came from outside the window. Yang Yi's eyes immediately became alert, and Ruth also sensitively sensed the change in the atmosphere.

"Listen! What's that sound?" Ruth asked anxiously.

"I'll go check it out." Yang Yi replied and immediately walked towards the window, reluctantly.

The two men walked to the window and saw a dazzling light flashing in the distant sky. It seemed that a fierce battle was quietly unfolding. The sound of metal colliding and people shouting intertwined and pierced their ears.

"I need to find out." Yang Yi said in a firm tone and took a step forward.

However, at this moment, Ruth suddenly grabbed his hand and said nervously: "Yang Yi, wait a moment! You must be careful, it might be the enemy's movement!"

"I will be cautious." Yang Yi responded in a low voice, with a flash of determination in his eyes, "But I must know the truth and must not let anything affect my plan!"

Seeing his resolute look as he moved forward, Ruth felt uneasy, but she could not hide her trust and support for him. "Okay, I'll go with you." She finally decided to walk side by side with him. Although she was nervous, she could not help wanting to accompany him.

The two quietly walked out of the room and ran towards the direction where the sound came from. Along the way, the surging emotions in their hearts were intertwined with anticipation and nervousness. This moment would be the turning point of their fate.

After climbing over a small hill, Yang Yi and Ruth suddenly saw that the surroundings were covered with thick smoke and flames shot up into the sky, as if some kind of extraordinary power was intertwined here. In the shadows, a figure was looming, fighting with several enemies in black robes.

"That's Doctor Strange!" Ruth exclaimed, pointing at the figure illuminated by the flames, her face changed drastically. Doctor Strange waved his hands, casting spells, struggling hard in the desperate situation.

"Let's go save him." Yang Yi said in a firm tone and acted quickly, running away. Ruth followed closely behind him with a surging heart.

The battle in the distance became more and more intense. Although Doctor Strange tried his best to resist, the number of enemies was too large. He was exhausted and looked tired. Yang Yi and Ruth knew that if they did not take action, he would not be able to hold on.

"You and I should work together to give him a helping hand!" Yang Yi whispered, having already prepared a response plan in his mind.

"But there are so many enemies. If you don't plan well, you will endanger yourself." Ruth reminded, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"It's okay. Disrupting their rhythm first can distract the enemy." Yang Yi's expression was solemn, with a shrewd light flashing in his eyes. "I will lead the enemy away, and you can take the opportunity to help Doctor Strange!"

"I hope I can trust you with this plan!" Although Ruth was nervous, she made up her mind and took a deep breath.

"Go!" Yang Yi urged, rushing towards the battlefield, like a storm, catching the enemy off guard. Ruth took a deep breath, and with the help of the energy of the Soul Stone, she slowly approached Doctor Strange.
