I didn’t want to go especially since we had just confirmed our relationship. But unfortunately, we had to go. After all, we still had to return to our worlds.
“It seems that everything went well.” Dr. Strange said as we arrived in the lobby.
“Yeah! It went very well.” I replied with a smile, not able to hide the happiness within me.
Dr. Strange clearly noticed this fact but didn't say anything since we had much more important matters to deal with.
“Albion, you had said that your life was saved by another Spider-Man. How did that happen?” Peter asked curiously.
“I would not go into the details. Just know that I had done something extremely stupid when I was just an ordinary human. It was a Spider-Man from another world who had saved my life that day and given me these powers.” I explained.
“But how had he reached your world? Was there an interdimensional accident just like in our world?” Ned asked.
“No, that Spider-Man was actually capable of interdimensional travel on his own. He was not only a Spider-Man but also Sorcerer Supreme just like you, Dr. Strange. That is why he call himself Spider Supreme.” I explained.
“Actually, I am not Sorcerer Supreme currently.” Dr. Strange suddenly clarified.
“But why? As far as I know, it is not a position you can just retire from.” I asked, astonished by Dr. Strange’s words.
“The Blip caused me to be absent for 5 years. As such, Master Wong took over my seat and is currently serving as the Sorcerer Supreme.” Dr. Strange explained.
“Since Master Wong is the Sorcerer Supreme, I believe that Kamar Taj is in good hands.” I said, believing in Master Wong.
“It seems that you know about Master Wong.” Dr. Strange asked curiously.
“Master Wong is the one who often teaches me along with Emma and our friends since Ancient One is often busy.” I answered.
“Anyways, returning to the topic. How can this Spider Supreme traverse dimensions so easily even if he is a Sorcerer Supreme? I believe that you know what restrictions a Sorcerer Supreme has, Albion. We are protectors, not wanderers.” Dr. Strange asked me, curious how Spider Supreme achieved this impossible feat.
“Apparently, him being a Spider-Man has opened quite a lot of doors for him. Actually, he wears the clothes of the same fashion as you.” I said as I showed him a picture of the Spider Supreme.
“He really looks similar to you, Doctor. He wears the same cloak as you and even has the same eye necklace.” MJ commented upon seeing the picture.
On the other hand, Dr. Strange was literally stunned upon taking a look at the picture since Spider Supreme really wore the same artefacts as him. The only difference was that Spider Supreme wore a Spider-Man suit under the cloak while Dr. Strange wore sorcerer robes.

“I understand that you are quite curious about this Spider Supreme, Dr. Strange. But can we talk about the other intruders, Doctor? I don't want to leave them to die.” Peter pleaded with Dr. Strange.
“There is a reason I am talking about Spider Supreme, Peter. I need to learn about the procedure he had performed on Albion. Only then would I be able to give a verdict about weather it would be right for you to help them or not.” Dr. Strange explained why he was asking me about Spider Supreme.
“Albion, after Spider Supreme had saved you and given you these powers, have you ever felt something weird about you or your world?” Dr. Strange asked me seriously.
“What do you mean by ‘weird’?” I asked, not understanding what he meant by his words.
“What I mean to ask is you have ever experienced something like rejection from your world or have there ever been dimensional distortions in your world for unknown reasons?” Dr. Strange asked, shocking me.
“No, never! I have never experienced something similar to what you are saying!” I replied, denying that this kind of situation had ever happened.
“Something like that can happen!” Peter asked in a shocked tone, clearly unaware of such ramifications.
“Yes, these kind of situations can happen and they have already been recorded by Kamar Taj. It happens in those cases where someone intentionally interferes in a person's fate and changes it.
More than often, it leads to that person being rejected by the world itself but it can also lead to much bigger ramifications. That is why I didn't want you to interfere in their fate because I thought that it could place their world in danger.”
“I don't think that your hypothesis applies in this case, Doctor. Their fate had been changed the moment they arrived in this world. They already know that they are going to die in their world. The change has already happened so a little more interference won’t hurt.” I argued.
“Alright! I will give you a chance to save them, Peter.” Dr. Strange said after a few minutes of thinking, finally relenting to Peter's request.
“Thank you, Dr. Strange!” Peter said excitedly as he hugged him.
“However!” Dr. Strange suddenly said.
“You can only take two of them at a time. Moreover, the influence of the ritual is still here. So, the moment another interdimensional intruder appears, I am stopping it. Understood!” He ordered Peter, putting several strict restrictions.
“Don't worry, Doctor. Just give me a single day. I will handle everything.” Peter replied confidently.
“Before I go, I want to ask you something, Doctor.” There was something I needed to know because it was extremely important.
“What is it?” Dr. Strange asked.
“How had Ancient One died?” I asked since there was no way I was going to let Ancient One die if I could help it.
“Have you not learnt anything from my words, Albion? Are you really ready to risk your world?” Dr. Strange said furiously.
“You don't need to worry about that, Dr. Strange. According to Ancient One, whatever procedure Spider Supreme used on me apparently made me a blank slate in terms of fate.
As such, this kind of cases no longer appear on me. In fact, I have already caused so many changes in my world that the time stone can no longer predict the future.”
“How can I believe you? Can you give me an example?” Dr. Strange asked.
“Well, the greatest example would be Emma herself. We would have never met if not for Spider Supreme's interference. Moreover, she and some of my friends even joined Kamar Taj which day would never have if not for my influence.” I answered.
“Very well, I will tell you.” Dr. Strange said with a sigh after listening to my words.
“Beware of Caecilius. It was because of him that Ancient One died.”
“Caecilius, that traitor sorcerer! But, isn't he barely a Master? How can someone like him kill Ancient One?” I said, having trouble believing his words.
“Caecilius is but a puppet. There are much greater powers at play which you will learn when he finally attacks. I can't say anything more than that.”
“Thank you, Dr. Strange!” I said sincerely since it was because of him that I would be able to save Ancient One's life.
“No need to thank me. Even I had not told you about this fact, Caecilius would likely not have been able to kill her with you there.” Dr. Strange replied.
“Also, beware of Master Mordo. He had turned against Kamar Taj once he had learnt a dark secret of ours. Tell this to Ancient One. She will know what to do.” Dr. Strange gave one final advice as we turned to collect the intruders.
