Actually, after leaving the Eye of Agamotto and no longer traveling through the river of time, even with the need to combat pollution during this period, the Ancient One still felt it was manageable.
Now that Tao Yu could help solve the pollution problem, it seemed that not dying wasn't so bad...
"Do I need to cooperate in any way?"
"Relax your mind and don't resist, that's all."
Upon hearing Tao Yu's words, the Ancient One nodded.
Her ability to control her own mind indeed left Tao Yu in awe.
Even amidst Abyssal infection, she could maintain an almost ultimate state of mental stability with ease.
That sense of calmness even made Thanos raise his eyelids slightly.
But he refrained from saying anything, worried about interrupting the treatment.
The more one understood the Abyss, even someone as proud as Thanos started to feel the need to call for additional help.
Of course, this had a lot to do with the Infinite Gems being taken by others.
