104 Ah! Oops...

Another couple days passed…

Viktor was sitting in the clinic as Lilith played with some dolls, smashing them together. Viktor perked his ear and heard "You'll never defeat me, super lady. I'm too powerful! Mwahahaha~"

"You forgot that I have the power of my daddy!"

Then another action figure came and smashed the bad guy, saying "You can't hurt my little demon, bad guy! Pew! Pew!"

Viktor rubbed his eyes with one hand and sighed…

Suddenly, Stephen burst in with a woman in his arms.

Well, not really. He ran through a portal!

Lilith looked up and muttered "Not as cool as daddy…" before playing again.

She's seen the world.

This little lady was a veteran…

Stephen shouted "Please! Save her!" Viktor sighed and said "Did you go to Christine first?" Stephen just stared at him and Viktor chuckled dryly, "Right then, leave her in room 1…"

As he walked over, saying "Don't come inside!" before shutting the door.

He looked at Yao on the table, saying "Hey… did you foresee this too?" before shaking his head and pressing his palm on her chest.

He started treating her from the inside and a phantom Yao appeared next to him, smiling "I've seen it so many times and it ceases to amaze me…" Viktor didn't even blink as he said "What can you do? I'm just so extraordinary."

Yao laughed lightly "It's true! Unfortunately, you have no interest in magic." Viktor grinned "Who needs magic?" Yao pursed her lips at him, saying "Don't lie to me, Viktor. You don't want the troubles that follow, right?"

Viktor touched his nose and pouted. Yao laughed and shook her head, saying "I think he'll do well all things considered." Viktor sneered, "That arrogant bastard?" Yao cleared her throat and smiled "Yes, him. He's softening… Although, he did expose me."

Viktor asked, "Expose you?" Yao rolled her eyes and said directly "Don't play footsie with me, Doctor. I don't know how you know the future, or rather a parallel future, but you don't need to pretend with me. What do you think?"

Viktor laughed, "Does it matter?" Yao floated in a sitting position, smiling softly "I'm interested in your opinion." Viktor said seriously "Well, drawing energy from the dark dimension has its perks. Being immortal and all powerful is one of them, I suppose. You did all this to protect the Earth. Power is neither good nor evil, it's the way you use it. So if you ask me if I think you're in the wrong, I'd say no."

Viktor curled his lips and added "I'd also call you an idiot for asking such a stupid question. As for 'hiding secrets' and 'hoarding magic to herself', are we 3 year olds? Come on…" he shook his head and asked "There was only one thing I never understood. Why didn't you use the Book of Vishanti?"

Yao's eyes lit up with surprise as she said "You even know this! Amazing. As for your question, the Book of Vishanti is a Nexus Relic, meaning that only one can exist at a time. Unlike the Darkhold, there can only be one book of Vishanti. All realities share this book to save their worlds."

Yao shook her head and replied "I only know a little White Magic. I simply cannot study it in depth. It's a rule among realities." Viktor shook his head and said "That's really stupid. You should have stolen it."

Yao chuckled and replied "Regardless, I used my own methods." Viktor pointed at her body, saying "And look where that's brought you. Under MY knife." Yao smiled, "Yes, quite ironic, isn't it. I suppose this is the consequence for siphoning magic from the Dark Dimension."

Viktor rolled his eyes and asked "Are you Mordo? Relax. Even if you want to die, you can't. I suggest you 'die' and go do what you want to do." Yao looked at him with interest "Oh?" Viktor grinned "How about a vacation? You can protect the Earth in secret while also watching Strange fumble his way into Sorcerer Supreme. Best of both worlds."

Yao touched her lips and said "I suppose that could be interesting!" Viktor pretended to be wise, saying "Ah… The path to learning never ends, Yao…" Yao flicked his forehead and chuckled, "Do not pretend to be wise before me, junior."

Viktor rubbed his forehead and said helplessly "Yes, yes, you're the 700 year old Sorceress… Fuck, you probably even know Agamotto personally! AH!"

Yao stretched out his face and said angrily "Don't you know it's rude to make comments about a woman's age!?"

A bit later

Viktor sighed and walked out "Unfortunately, she didn't make it… I'm sorry." Stephen looked lost and looked at the body before stumbling around like a drunk.

Then suddenly, he seemed alright and driven.

Viktor blinked and Stephen said sincerely "Thank you, Viktor." Viktor smiled slightly "Don't worry about it. I failed after all." Stephen shook his head and patted his shoulder before leaving through a portal.

Viktor returned to the room and took out an orange shot, saying "This is my new cure… Hopefully it works…" as he injected Yao's body, muttering "Otherwise you'll be bald for life…"

Yao's body trembled and Viktor sent her to the bathroom.

A dozen minutes later

[Congratulations for saving Yao (The Ancient One)- 1 super lottery ticket]

Yao reappeared, like a whole new person, looking refreshed.

She also looked much, much, MUCH younger with a head full of jet black hair.

It reached the ground!

Viktor stared at Yao dumbfoundedly, she said angrily "What did you do!?" Viktor swallowed and looked down at Yao, saying in a trembling tone, "It wasn't on purpose! I promise you that!"

In front of him was an incredibly cute little loli with extremely long hair!

It was Yao!
