Helen sat cross-legged on the floor, holding a book bigger than her head, Strange had been standing in front of the bookshelf and throwing books down, and Harley had stood at the bottom to catch it and handed it to Helen.

Helen shook her head as she watched, and the gap between her shaking was accompanied by a sigh, and after hearing her twelfth sigh, Strange couldn't help but turn to look at Helen and say, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with this method? ”

"'What's the problem?' Where is there no problem? Helen looked up from the book, glared back at Strange, shook her head slightly, and said, "You broke my stereotype of Dr. Stephen Strange's shrewdness, how could you be fooled by this?" ”

Strange stood there looking at her gloomily, and Helen closed the book with a "snap", tossed the book aside and said, "You can't have missed a magic theory class, have you?" What is the most important thing about a magical theory? ”

"Origins and History." Barry looked at the other book and replied, "If a theory of magic can't find its origin and evolution, then it's most likely a trap used by evil gods to deceive humans." ”

"The biggest feature of the inheritance of human magical knowledge is the gradual improvement of the evolutionary process, misuse and falsification are an indispensable part of the theoretical inheritance, any theory that appears to be a finished product, either has natural flaws and huge loopholes, or it must be a trap."

Barry recited the contents of the textbook very fluently, and then he added: "The Supreme Master added a commentary under it, the more powerful and perfect the theory, the less likely it is to appear in the hands of humans out of thin air, and without the process of exploration, it is not knowledge that humans can study." ”

Strange's hand rubbed the cover of a book, and after a long pause, he spoke, "It seems that your world is very advanced in magical education. ”

"It's better that you're too backward, I guess you didn't go to school at all, right? You're lucky that you didn't die in the Strange serial murders. ”

Helen had just mentioned it casually, but she suddenly paused, looked down at the book she had thrown next to her, then looked up at Strange and asked, "Where did you get this book?" ”

"It's a secret place, and the building we're in now is called Cagliostro's Library, and it's one of its collections."

Hallie immediately frowned, narrowed her eyes, shook her head, and said, "How suspicious do you look, how did you get here?" ”

Strange hesitated, but still told him about his previous experience.

To put it simply, Strange was in a car accident on his way to a date with his girlfriend Christine, but this time he didn't cut off his hand, but his beloved girlfriend Christine died in the car accident.

Strange embarked on the path of magic, and Strange, who became the Supreme Mage, tried to use the ability of the Eye of Agamotto to go back in time to save his girlfriend, but failed.

No matter how he changed the conditions at that time, Christine would definitely die, and later he learned from the ancient mouth that Christine's death was an absolute point in time, because only when Christine died could Strange become a Supreme Mage.

Strange tried countless times and still didn't want to give up, and the Ancient One could only cut his time and split him in a single choice.

Strange who chose to get lost and get back on the right path stayed in the universe, while Strange, who still chose to be obsessed, strayed into a secret realm and went to Cagliostro's lost library under the leadership of the secret keeper Oben.

Here, Strange finds a way to break the absolute point of time, which is not magical, that is, to use the summoning circle to summon all kinds of powerful creatures to devour their power, as long as the power is strong enough, it is natural to break the curse of certain death.

After hearing this, Harley shook her head and said, "Maybe you are too vigilant, or maybe you are blinded by urgent desires, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?" ”

"You urgently need a solution to your dilemma, and then by a coincidence, you happen to come to a secret realm where there is no danger at all, and there happens to be a library of all kinds of knowledge in this secret realm, but among these knowledge, you just found the one you need, don't you think there is anything wrong with it?"

Strange was about to open his mouth to speak, but Hallie interrupted, saying, "You want to say you're lucky, but if your luck was really good, Christine wouldn't be dead." ”

Strange was speechless.

After a while, he asked tentatively, "Do you think this method is wrong?" ”

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that this method is wrong." Helen stood up, walked up to Strange, looked him in the eye and said, "The biggest pitfall is that it tells you how to summon a circle, but it doesn't tell you how it works. ”

As soon as Helen raised her hand, the book flew into her hand, and she pointed to one of the magic arrays with her finger and said, "See this rune?" This is the directional entry for directional summoning, which means 'of this universe', 'here', 'not far away', which means that all the beings summoned by this summoning circle are the lives of this universe. ”

"And this one, this entry means 'Energy Level Unlimited', and the entry next to it says 'Rule Category Unlimited', do you know what the consequences of this are?"

Strange shook his head, after he worshiped the ancient sect, he was bent on saving his girlfriend, the spells he practiced were all related to time, the knowledge of magic arrays and magic runes was huge and complicated, and it took an extremely long time to master, Strange only wanted to be quick and didn't look at these things carefully.

Helen closed the book and sighed and said, "There are not only useless energy demon gods in this world, but also many rule-type gods, and they are some kind of rules of the universe itself. ”

"You may think that you destroyed the dark demon god Dormammu, but in fact, as long as the darkness of the universe still exists, Dormammu will be immortal, this is not a rule of Raipi, but because the universe needs him, he is part of the composition of the universe."

"If you don't limit these two items, there is a high chance that the things you summon will be mixed with the lives that are integrated with the important rules, and after you swallow all their energy, you can't support the power of the rules yourself, which is equivalent to you breaking a load-bearing pillar of a building."

"If you devour a large number of regular life in a short period of time, it will cause great damage to the structure of the universe, and the self-repair speed of the universe is measured in tens of millions of years, and it can't keep up with your destruction speed at all, and the only consequence of this is the collapse of the universe."

Helen picked up the book again and flipped through it and said: "And the most important point is that the method of converting your devouring energy into your own power taught above is too shallow, so to speak, you have devoured ten percent of your power, and you can probably only leave one percent, and most of the less elite power can't even leave one percent." ”

"This is equivalent to giving you only the suction port of the vacuum cleaner, without providing the corresponding pipes and storage equipment, but giving you the maximum power of the motor, allowing you to suck hard, but not much left, and all the power you absorb is overflowing in the universe."

"In this way, you become a meat grinder, just constantly breaking the rules of the universe and producing meaningless junk energy."

"And because there is no correct storage method, even if you suck up all the life that can be summoned in this universe, the remaining power will definitely not be enough to break the absolute point in time."

Helen's determined attitude really made Strange shake a little, because she seemed too skilled, and what she said really was too much like that.

Helen snapped her fingers, looked at Strange's face and said, "I can teach you how to collect wool correctly, not only will it not cause the universe to collapse, but it may also make the universe live longer, and you yourself can leave at least eighty percent of your strength, it only takes a few times to break the cycle." ”

Strange narrowed his eyes and asked, "And what about the price?" ”

"As I said, we are chasing the murderer now, and what happened to you is likely to be part of the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes, and if I help you, you have to help us find clues to the murderer."

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's not that hard for me." Helen shook her head and said, "I'm afraid you've already felt it, I'm neither a human nor an Aesir, and you can't see what I am." ”

"And if I had to use an analogy, I'm probably the world's largest, most powerful, and smartest super-sized vacuum cleaner."

Twenty minutes later, Helen stood next to the redrawn magic circle, pointed to the magic circle she had just drawn with Harley and Barry, and said, "See that rune?" It's a rune that restricts energy levels and rule types, so we don't summon regular creatures that are important to the universe. ”

"And the rune, it means 'edge', 'far', and the rune next to it means 'broken', let's pick up those broken garbage at the edge of this universe first."

"Don't look at me like that, it's rubbish to me, it's an extremely precious energy for human beings, enough for you to use for several lifetimes, and this is the safest way to get energy that Kama Taj students have summed up in countless class hours."

Strange activated the magic circle in disbelief, and in the next second, countless limb fragments poured out of the teleportation array, some like tentacles, some like claws and abdomen, and many energy fragments like building fragments.

It didn't take Strange to absorb the energy, it poured directly into his body, and he fell to the ground with a cry of pain, his eyes black.

When he woke up again, the three children had already carved out the new magic circle, Helen rubbed her hands, turned to look at him and said, "Your universe has a little bit of garbage, but it's okay, let's start to gather the energy of those demon gods who have spare power." ”

Strange got up from the ground with some difficulty, feeling the powerful power surging in his body, he looked at his body left and right with some surprise, he looked at Helen and said, "This is amazing, so we can devour the powerful demon god next?" ”

"Don't think about it, even if you pick up garbage ten thousand times, you won't be able to swallow the masters of the dimension such as Mephisto and Setolak, people's energy is endless."

"But because of this, we don't need to rob openly, we can summon them over to talk, what's not to talk about? Dormammu can also talk about it, as long as the conditions are good enough, the energy will definitely be enough. ”

Helen pulled her fingers and said: "And it's not just a universe, after the wool of this universe is finished, we will go to the next universe, a universe to gather a little, and we are not afraid of baldness." ”

"When you get enough energy, feed it to those regular lifeforms, so that they can strengthen the structure of the universe, so that they can provide you with more room to play."

Helen showed a big smile, and then said, "The Ancient One is holding you back because the constant reset of time may cause the structure of the universe to be unstable, thus leading to destruction. ”

"You have enough strength, and you have strengthened the structure of the universe indestructible, when the time comes, you can try as many times as you want, I don't believe it, the power of thousands of universes combined, and you can't resurrect an ordinary human woman?"

"What is the 'absolute point in time', Dr. Schiller said, absolutely not is not the vision is not good, absolutely wrong is the equivalent is wrong."

"If your eyes are open and the equivalent is in place, there is no south wall in this world that you can't bump through!"

What if, what if
