The Ancient One’s guidance offers a moment of clarity as Strange confronts the consequences of his past choices—only to be swept into a clash that reshapes his understanding of power, fate, and the cost of magic.

Using his mystic powers to temporarily bind the sleeping Eternity, Dormammu lures Strange to another dimension and challenges him, but as they begin their mystical combat Eternity breaks free. He tells Dormammu to end the violence, but instead he attacks Eternity. Their encounter is brief and destructive as Dormammu is smashed between two colliding spheres. Eternity vanishes while Strange is hurled between dimensions and rescued by the Ancient One. Strange releases all those who were banished by him, including Baron Mordo and Clea, whom he affectionately bids farewell to for the time being.
