Chapter 762: Purpose
How deep Sean's sincerity is, Stephen Strange is unable to discern it, but from Sean's attitude, he can see that Sean has no idea of being an enemy of him, but he also admitted it himself that he needs a heart gem.
Puzzled, he asked, "How should I understand this?" ”
In fact, he had already confirmed at the beginning that Sean had no ill intentions, even though Sean did try to forcibly seize the Time Stone.
It was precisely because Sean did not seem to have malicious intent that Stephen Strange would tell the other mages that the comer was not an enemy after he first felt that an outsider had entered Kama Taj in a way that did not destroy Kama Taj's magic array, although the situation after that did slap him in the face.
But no matter what, it's a good thing not to be an enemy with Sean, firstly, because he can't see through Sean's existence, so he is not sure to take it down, and secondly, because this is Karma Taj, the lair of a magician who is more important than the Three Sanctuary, and if there is a fight here, I am afraid that the tragedy not long ago will be repeated again.
And the reason why he was worried about the second point was actually the first point, he felt that he might not be able to transfer the battle to the mirror world.
So when Sean began to make his goals clear, he immediately asked.
Although the other party's purpose has already been revealed, he can't be sure of his plans for the Time Gem after all, and now Sean is ready to say, he naturally goes with the flow, and makes up his mind to find out first and then think about how to deal with it.
Sean didn't know what Stephen Strange was thinking, but he didn't care.
He said lightly: "Just like the word, I need the power of the Time Stone to explore the truth of a thing, but we don't have to be enemies, so just borrow it." ”
Falsehood! This was the thought of the mage Wang Yong after listening to Sean's words, he leaned forward slightly, ready to get up and make a move, and at the same time looked anxiously at Stephen Strange, trying to convey his opinion to him.
Stephen Strange obviously had the same idea, and looked at Sean on the other side of the coffee table with a pair of questioning scrutiny, wondering if it was because Sean forcibly snatched the Eye of Agomoto before and triggered the series of magic rings, which made him change his mind, no longer planning to rob, but outwitting?
Sean seemed to see through Stephen Strange's thoughts, and as if he had speculated about Stephen Strange's thoughts before he spoke, he flipped through his hand, and the mind gem that had been placed in the spiritual plane reappeared in his hand again.
The faint golden soft light made Stephen Strange's pupils contract, and the crimson cloak on his back suddenly turned up, as if he was about to pull Stephen Strange back at any moment, obviously suspecting that Sean was ready to use the power of the mind gem against him.
The Mind Gem, even if he has not personally touched it, but just from this title it is enough to explain what the effect of the power of this Infinity Gem is, before Sean only slightly guided, he couldn't help but be intoxicated, of course, there is Sean sudden, but the power of the Mind Gem does not need to be questioned at all.
Sean didn't seem to see Stephen Strange's actions, and said to himself: "In order to prove this, the soul gem in this Infinity Stone is used as my collateral, how about it?" ”
The eyelids were raised, and a determined gaze fell directly on Stephen Strange's face.
Qingjun's face still carried the caution of the previous second, but when Sean's words did not fall, it suddenly turned into shock.
The Mind Gem, one of the Infinity Stones, has the magical power to manipulate people's minds, and this is only the most basic, but at this moment Sean is so plain and takes his magical gem as an exchange, although the exchange is also one of the Infinity Stones, which is extremely important to the mages of Kama Taj, but Sean's move has obviously shown his sincerity.
Stephen Strange was shocked in his heart, but he was even more curious about what Sean wanted to do, and it was important to get the other party to take out the Infinity Stones as collateral in exchange for the opportunity to use the Time Stones.
He asked with a serious look in his eyes, "What truth do you want to explore?" ”
Although he didn't directly agree to Sean's exchange just now, Stephen Strange's inquiry about the reason for the matter at this moment also proved the trend of his thoughts in his heart, so now Sean only needs to give him a reasonable explanation.
Of course, there is also a clear suspicion that Stephen Strange has not dissipated.
Sean was a little helpless, but he had already robbed once, and he would be embarrassed to do it again, after all, the other party didn't care about his previous robbery, and he still talked like this.
Of course, the fundamental reason why he is so helpless is that he doesn't know what the truth he is exploring is, otherwise he wouldn't have talked to Stephen Strange just now about something that seems to be related to this matter, but he can't say where the specific connection is.
But when it comes to Stephen Strange's question, he can only tell the truth.
"I don't know what the truth I'm trying to find out is."
The slightly helpless tone made Stephen Strange stunned, Sean shrugged, and continued with a bitter face: "But in the future that I touched with my own power, I vaguely felt a strong sense of crisis, I don't know where this sense of crisis came from, but I can confirm that this is very related to my existence in the parallel universe, and this sense of crisis is not only about me, but also about the entire multiverse!" ”
Sean said this for himself for sure, but it was big enough, about the extent of the crisis in the multiverse, Stephen Strange had never seen it in the documentation of Cama Taj, but as always, because of his doubts and vigilance about Sean, he attached great importance to some of the things revealed in Sean's words, so although he heard about it, he ignored it for the time being.
He didn't know how much there was credibility in Sean's words, so even though what Sean said made him shudder, he still didn't want to let go of any details.
"Hunch? The future you mean? ”
Stephen Strange looked at him questioningly, he could naturally understand that for an existence like Sean, many things are no longer mysterious, the mystery of time is one of them, and it is not inconceivable that he can see a corner of the future.
However, for Stephen Strange, who has the method of using the Time Stone, the future is changeable and unpredictable, especially after the Ancient One Mage finally let go, no longer trying to forcibly control the timeline, but putting everything into the hands of Stephen Strange, a future that represents the unknown, the future of this world is becoming more and more unpredictable, and even the power of the Time Stone cannot change this.
But now Sean tells him that he sees a great crisis in the future.
Logically, he didn't believe what Sean said, and even wondered if Sean had some conspiracy.
Sean nodded, "That's right, it's the future." ”
Then he said with a worried face: "My power is not a power that can be touched in reality in some ways, when I radiate my power, there will be a part of it flowing into the future, just like a clean plate with some water poured on it, these water will not only exist on the point where it falls, but it will spread outward, you may not understand this, but this ability has made me still exist after so many dangers." ”
He paused slightly, and his voice became even more sorrowful: "But this time is different from any previous crisis, this time the crisis is no longer just about me, but about the entire multiverse, don't ask me how I know, it is precisely because I don't know that I came here to seek the help of the power of the Time Gem!" ”
Stephen Strange, who wanted to stop talking, was stuck by Sean's words, and was a little dazed, not his own dazedness, but Sean's dazedness passed to him, which made him feel overwhelmed by what Sean said, but he always had doubts about Sean's words, so he just retracted his mind for a moment.
It's just that at the same time, for what Sean said, he actually had a trace of belief in the dazed.
There are many ways to judge a lie, but there is only one kind of lie that is easiest to debunk, and that is the perfect one, obviously even if Sean just is a lie, it is definitely not a perfect lie, but it is precisely because his words are full of all kinds of incomprehension that Stephen Strange will have a trace of trust in it.
Just a glimmer of trust, of course.
But even a glimmer of trust was enough for him to try to accept Sean's claim.
He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "I can't fully believe your words, because your statement does not match my logical thinking, but I am willing to try to accept your statement." ”
Sean was not surprised, but still a little disappointed, he waved his hand and smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm not going to say thank you, because there are some things you need to be responsible for anyway." ”
Stephen Strange raised an eyebrow, not caring and said, "That's also saving me from being polite." ”
Sean nodded slightly, handed over the floating mind gem in his hand, Stephen Strange did not refuse, and signaled to the mage Wang Yong on the side, the cold-faced mage Wang Yong immediately got up and came over, his hands swiped in the void, leaving a trail of golden sparks sprinkled with Daodao, and as his palm moved, the golden spark trajectory turned into two opposite magic round shields.
Mage Wang Yong's cold gaze fell on Sean, Sean smiled slightly, raised his hand to push, and the golden soul gem was immediately thrown into Wang Yong's two magic round shields, Wang Yong's palm flipped up and down, his fingers changed the pinching technique, and the two magic round shields rotated, and finally formed a cube shape, covering up the light of the mind gem into it.
Sean's gaze moved away from the mage Wang Yong and landed on Stephen Strange on the other side.
Stephen Strange looked down slightly, looking at the metal eye-shaped pendant hanging from his neck.
He looked up at Sean and said, "I'll do it." ”
Sean raised his eyebrows slightly, a little dissatisfied in his heart, but in the end he didn't say anything, nodding in agreement.
Although this was a little different from what he thought, his desire to explore the inexplicable sense of crisis made him not pay attention to it, and he only wanted to know why those phantoms in the parallel universe gave him an unprecedented sense of crisis!
Foreknowledge is an extension of his spiritual power, and after his realm has completely crossed the shackles of long-existence, it is no longer mysterious to him.
However, in the past, when the foreknowledge felt the sense of crisis and could vaguely feel the reason for the sense of crisis, at this moment, after the prediction ability was further improved with the spiritual power, this kind of vague situation appeared, which naturally did not happen because his strength became stronger, but the scope of the influence of the prediction ability has decreased, but it will only be that there is a difference between this crisis and the previous crisis!
The ability to foresee the crisis is only a vague scene, but fortunately, when this sense of crisis comes, Sean also feels that the existence of the virtual shadow in the parallel universe begins to move closer to him, so he will come to Kama Taj to find a way to uncover the truth.
As Stephen Strange said, the return of the existence of the phantom is only good for him who has begun to comprehend the origin of the universe, and there is no harm, once the existence phantom has more or less absorbed the rules of the parallel universe and is in harmony with his essence, he will absorb the perception without any sluggishness, after all, the existence of the phantom is himself in the final analysis.
Now the level of spiritual power has reached the current limit, but the number has not yet reached, but it is still increasing, it is precisely because of this that he will create a spiritual space to delay the rapid increase of this spiritual power.
But for him now, the amount of spiritual power does not mean much to him, but the perception of various rules is more important.
Importance or not is a comparison, spiritual power is no longer lacking in nature, it is not important, and the perception of various rules and even the origin of the universe is ethereal and shallow, so it is more important.
It is precisely because of the importance that Sean attaches great importance to the problem of the existence of the illusion, and he is very eager for the perception of the universe in the existence of the illusion, so at this moment he urgently wants to find out the source of the sense of crisis not only because of the strong sense of crisis, but also because of this.
The Eye of Agamotto on Stephen Strange's neck slowly opened, blooming with a dark green light, and with a turn of his palm, a magic shield ring had been formed.
Then he looked at Sean.
