665. A little trick about time
For Dormammu in the high-dimensional world, Strange is a low-dimensional creature, and as a low-dimensional creature, Strange cannot transcend time, he can only perceive a timeline at the same time.
Without using the Time Gem, Strange has no way of predicting the future and can only look back, and after Goofy modifies the timeline using the Timetraveler template, Strange has no idea that he was stabbed to death by Dormammu in the previous timeline.
Because Strange can't transcend time, for him, everything has just begun, he and Goofy have just entered the dark space of Dormammu, Dormammu has not yet appeared, everything that happened before has not happened.
However, Goofy and Dormammu knew that this was their second encounter, and Dormammu had easily killed Goofy and Strange by using the crushing of the dimension.
Goofy is the initiator of the entire event because he has turned on time travel, and his consciousness is bound to the time-traveler template (see the previous chapter on the time-traveler template for details), so he can perceive both timelines at the same time.
Dormammu, on the other hand, is that he is a high-dimensional creature and is not bound by time, so he can perceive many timelines at the same time and clearly know the occurrence of each event.
In fact, in the movie "Doctor Strange", Doctor Strange used the Eye of Agamotto to establish a time loop, and successfully drove the big boss Dormammu crazy that he couldn't defeat with his strength.
Doctor Strange set up a time loop that automatically rewinds time every time he is killed to the moment when he first entered the dark dimension, and through this time loop, Strange achieves immortality.
What's more important is that Strange himself is a low-dimensional creature and cannot transcend the limits of time, so he has no memories of his previous rebirth every time, and from his point of view, he is entering the dark dimension for the first time to negotiate with Dormammu.
Therefore, even if Dormammu kills him several times, as soon as the time loop is reopened, Doctor Strange's previous memories from the same timeline will be overwritten, and he will forget what happened at the same point in time.
For him, every time the time loop reopens, it is the first time he enters the dark dimension and is killed by Dormammu.
But Dormammu is different.
Dormammu transcended the limits of time, being able to perceive each timeline, and he could remember as many times he had killed Strange himself.
Therefore, under the effect of the time loop, from the cognitive point of view of Strange, the battle between him and Dormammu has only happened once, but from the perspective of Dormammu, a high-dimensional creature, his battle with Strange has happened countless times......
This is a classic case of the victory of the simple over the complex, the low over the high.
So in the end, Dormammu was driven crazy by Strange, and promised not to invade Earth again and retreat to his own dark space.
Now Goofy's methods are similar to Strange's, except that Goofy is different from Strange in that he can also perceive the coexistence of different timelines.
"Come on, Dormammu, there's a kind of you're going to try to beat us again." Goofy sneered.
"Do you think your little trick of going back in time can deal with me?" Dormammu muttered as he summoned the beam of energy again.
Strange was powerless in front of Dormammu, and he was defeated again.
The same goes for Goofy, whose chest is pierced by a beam of energy.
But soon he is resurrected again, and at the same time activates the time-traveling template to reverse time.
Back to the beginning when the two of them first entered the dark dimension, Strange still asked with a confused face, "This is ...... Where? β
Goofy didn't bother to answer anymore, after all, he had already explained twice in a row.
And Dormammu said sarcastically, "What? Is this your response? Are you going to spend it with me all the time? Stupid low-dimensional creatures? β
"But believe me, you are far less patient than I am, I have eternal time, I can spend a long time with you, and then you will collapse before me, and your consciousness will be confused......"
"And in such a situation, you can't continue to reverse time, you will eventually fail!!"
Goofy, however, shook his index finger at Dormammu.
"No, Dormammu, you may be underestimating me too much."
"Do you think I'm just going to waste your time with this kind of trickery?"
"Do you think I'm content to just shake hands with you?"
"You're wrong."
"My purpose is not to drive you out of Earth, or to find a way to negotiate terms with you, as the Supreme Mage did before me."
"My goal is to defeat you, to defeat you completely."
"I'm going to make you and your high-dimensional world completely disappear in this universe, I'm going to make you disappear!"
After listening to Goofy's explanation, Dormammu burst out laughing again.
"Hahahaha......"
"It's stupid, arrogant, naΓ―ve!"
"A lowly low-dimensional creature actually wants to destroy a high-dimensional creature or even destroy a high-dimensional world?"
"Do you know that I can even tamper with the natural laws of your world, and you have almost no advantage over high-dimensional beings!"
"It's ridiculous......"
Dormammu scoffed.
As the two argued, Strange remained in a state of confusion - what exactly were the two big brothers talking about? Why can't I understand at all?
Goofy didn't have time to explain it to him in detail, as he was working on his plan.
"Dormammu, you've made another mistake."
"It is true that the high-dimensional world is higher, more complex, and more powerful than the low-dimensional world, but this does not mean that the high-dimensional world is stronger than the low-dimensional world in every way."
"When an earthquake strikes, are high-rise buildings or low-rise buildings more likely to collapse?"
"The stability of the high-dimensional world is worse than that of the low-dimensional world, and as long as one of the dimensions collapses, then the entire high-dimensional world will collapse from the high-dimensional to the low-dimensional ......"
"At first, I didn't know what dimensions your high-dimensional world has, but then I suddenly realized that since you always claim that you can transcend time and control time, then the time dimension must be one of the basic elements that make up your high-dimensional world, otherwise, the concept of time will have no meaning in your world."
Hearing this, Dormammu was already panicking.
"Damn it, you abominable lowly creature!"
"The reason you keep reversing time isn't just because you want to drag it out with me, it's not because you want to save your horse-faced friend!"
Gao Fei hurriedly put on a serious expression and corrected, "How do you speak?" How am I not here to save my horse-faced friend! β
"It's just that while I'm saving my horse-faced friend, I'm carrying the high-dimensional world that destroys you!"
