Chapter 5: Doctor Strange
For Casillas's questioning, Ethan didn't even bother to deal with it, not that he had been pretending to be too much and a little tired recently, but he clearly knew that Stephen Strange had started a time loop, and at this time, no matter how he pretended to be and slapped in the face, as soon as Strange was killed by Dormammu, time would go back to the previous point in time.
Dormammu could sense that he was trapped in a time loop, and Casillas was clearly not up to that level, so no matter how Ethan tried to clean him up, the guy couldn't remember.
Is it time to restart Ethan and pretend to force it once? That would be too stupid to be interesting.
Casillas saw that he was being ignored, and a sudden anger suddenly rose in his heart.
Thinking that he has done so many things on the earth, even the Ancient One Master standing here would not dare to ignore himself so much, what is this guy?
Just as he was about to do something, the whole world suddenly stopped, and then everything except Ethan and Tony seemed to be rewinding, back to the moment when King and Mordo were confronting Casillas.
Tony looked at the scene around him, and then at the green energy wrapped around his body, knowing that he didn't fall into a time loop because of the 'protection' of the magic released by Ethan.
While marveling at the magic of the Time Gem, I was inexplicably unhappy with this situation.
This instantly made him feel like he was a guinea pig at the mercy of others, and what made him even more depressed was that so far, he couldn't think of any way out of this predicament.
Tony Stark is proud, and at this moment he decided that he must continue to improve his strength, and he did not want to experience this embarrassing situation again.
"What's next?"
What happened next left Tony speechless, and the things around him seemed to be stuck in an infinite loop, repeating the boring scene over and over again.
Ethan kept looking up at the terrifying spatial rift above, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
Perhaps sensing Tony's thoughts, Ethan raised his hands, green and blue light flashed staggered, the two energies were distinct but just right entangled, in this strange feeling, Tony found himself and Ethan as if they had entered another dimension.
Standing here, the endless loop of farce can no longer affect them, and more importantly, they don't have to greet Wang every time, and occasionally once or twice they find it funny, and every time they do this, it will only make people irritated.
Ethan gently stretched out his arms, and a huge 'curtain' appeared in front of Tony, allowing him to see what was happening in that mysterious and terrifying space.
Strange uses the power of the Time Gem to create a time loop that traps Dormammu, then tries to negotiate with Dormammu again and again, and then is killed by the enraged Dormammu again and again.
In this cycle, Strange is also constantly trying, using all the means he can think of to resist Dormammu's attack, although he insists on holding on for a few seconds at most, he still can't escape the fate of being killed, but Strange still does not give up his original intention in this endless death cycle, and firmly forces Dormammu to negotiate with him.
From a little smile at the beginning, his face slowly became serious, Tony looked at everything in front of him, and expressed his admiration for Strange from the bottom of his heart.
Put yourself in their shoes, Tony doesn't feel like he can do everything Strange is doing when he is in such a situation.
Being killed again and again is not such a wonderful experience, plus Dormammu deliberately wants to force Strange to give up his beliefs and want to destroy Strange's mental will, at first Strange was able to hold on a few more moves, all because Dormammu deliberately let go of the water: give you some hope, and then destroy this hope with his own hands.
"It makes sense that the Ancient One Master chose him as his heir. ”
After watching it quietly for a while, Strange's strength increased at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and gradually faded away from the immature aura of a rookie mage.
Now Strange, I'm afraid no one will regard him as a rookie who has only studied magic for less than a year.
It can be said that negotiating with Dormammu was a key part of Strange's growth, so Ethan did not interfere in this plot, and the Ancient One did not want him to interfere.
The Ancient One has decided to step down from her responsibilities as a Supreme Mage, and she will need to re-cultivate magic after her resurrection. This time, instead of starting over all over again along the path of the past, she is going to take a new path, so it is impossible for her strength to return to her peak state in a short period of time.
But the earth is inseparable from the protection of the Supreme Mage, and Strange, as his chosen successor, needs to grow up in the shortest possible time...... The appearance of Dormammu is actually the best opportunity for Strange to grow.
As the Supreme Mage in charge of the Time Stone, Ethan didn't know how much of the future Gu Yi had seen, how much of all of this today was decided by her temporarily, and how much of it was deliberately guided by her early layout.
"Are we going to keep looking at it like this?"
Although Strange's strength is progressing at an astonishing rate, the huge gap in strength between him and Dormammu is not so easy to erase, so the scene is still Strange being killed by Dormammu's tricks, and this time loop seems to go on forever, as if there will never be an end.
"Of course not. ”
The devil knows how long Strange and Dormammu have been in a stalemate in the time loop.
The existence of Dormammu's level will definitely not make him give up willingly just a little time, which means that the time that Strange has been in a stalemate with Dormammu in the loop is at least in years.
If you think about it in the scary way...... Ethan decided not to think about it, this method of improving his strength is not something that ordinary people can sustain at all, and after this time, the spiritual will of this Doctor Strange will be raised to a fairly high height, which can also lay a good foundation for him to take over the position of Supreme Mage.
The energy in Ethan's hands suddenly glowed, and he and Tony returned to the laboratory beneath their mansion.
"Why did you come back here again?"
"Because we were here when Strange established the beginning of the time loop. ”
Returning to the 'timeline' of the Marvel Universe from the identity of an 'outsider' will be like this, after Strange ends the time loop, he still returns to the time point he set at the beginning, which means that time has now returned to normal, and the countless previous loops are equivalent to not happening to people other than Doctor Strange Stephen Strange and Dormammu.
If Ethan hadn't understood some of the rules of time, he would, like the rest of the world, have no idea what's going on.
"It's a bad feeling. ”
Listening to Tony's complaints, Ethan smiled and didn't say anything, he didn't go to the king with Tony again, anyway, the matter over there has been resolved, and they are more concerned about the matter here.
The soul of the Ancient One has entered the regeneration device, and the sample prepared in advance has formed an embryo, which is slowly growing in the device in front of Ethan, and the new Ancient One will be resurrected after a while.
Originally, after the soul entered the new embryo, it needed the help of a psychic being to establish contact with the new 'body', just like Ethan did for Tony's parents in the first place.
However, the ancient one herself is a master in this area, even if she is in a soul state now, she doesn't need Ethan's help, so now Ethan and they really have nothing to do, and after making sure that everything is going well, there is nothing wrong, and they left this place.
According to the plan discussed with the Ancient One before, after the resurrection, the Ancient One will not return to Kama Taj, she will find a quiet place to cultivate slowly.
There is no shortage of places, Tony! There is no shortage of cultivation methods, and there is no shortage of ancient ones! Even Tony can provide a full set of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. After all, for Tony, the Ancient One is also one of his mentors, this Supreme Mage has given him guidance on magic, and Tony's progress is so fast in addition to his own talent, it is also related to this aspect: the mages that Tony knows and comes into contact with, there is no weakness.
After the resurrection of the Ancient One, all the affairs have already been arranged, even Kama Taj and the Guardian Temple have been arranged, and Strange will undoubtedly become the guardian of the New York Temple, and then the leader of the mages.
And arranging Strange to New York is not without the idea of getting close to the Avengers, because there is a Tony Stark among the Avengers who can help Strange.
Strange doesn't know the relationship between Kama Taj and Tony, in the eyes of the former famous surgeon, Tony Stark is a famous genius scientist, a rich man, and a playboy, science or something is his domain, and such people are completely incompatible with magic or anything.
So when Wang brought Strange to visit Tony, he learned that Tony Stark was actually involved with Kama Taj, which made his brain a little confused.
I came back to my senses after a moment of trance, and then briefly introduced myself.
"Hello, I'm Stephen Strange. ”
"I know you. Tony looked at Strange in front of him again, he was more mature than he had seen in the time loop, and he could see that his magic strength had improved a lot: "I wonder, why don't you heal your hand?"
"I'm not strong enough to recover them now......" Strange is completely unconcerned about his own hands, which is completely different from his original one, "but I'm sure it won't bother me for long." ”
