Chapter 456: Strange Chasing Power
"So, you've become the Supreme Mage?"
Natalia watched as Zhanliu threw the Eye of Agamotto around like a dog throwing a bone.
No matter how much he threw it, when the artifact was a certain distance away from his body, it began to automatically launch a small area of time reversal and return to his hand.
This scene made Natalia dumbfounded and envious.
"Then can you see our origin through the river of time like the Ancient One mage before you?"
"Unfortunately, I can't!" Zhan Liu shook his head, "Manipulating the Time Gem requires the use of magic, but I don't have any magic in my body. ”
"The time regression we see now is not caused by me, but controlled by the time gem itself, which consumes the energy inside the time gem, and has nothing to do with me."
"Unless I switch to magic, I won't be able to see the past and the future like the Ancient One."
"Looking at you like this, it seems that you are not ready to switch to magic?" Natalia asked regretfully.
"yes." Zhan Liu nodded and said firmly: "I told you before that if you want to learn magic, you must borrow magic power from those demon gods, and when the time comes, you will lose all of yourself. ”
"I don't have a big backstage like the ancient one, what do I have to be stupid to learn magic?"
"A Supreme Mage who doesn't know magic?" Natalia laughed and said, "When you meet an enemy, you will hit it with your fist?" ”
"Ahem......" Zhan Liu embarrassed and forcibly said, "This is called a battle mage......
Looking at Natalia, who was trembling with a delicate smile in front of her, Zhan Liu said stupidly: "It's not that I want to be this Supreme Mage, it's obviously a trap set by Gu Yi, and I don't know what she thinks......"
"But I see you're clearly secretly cool......" Natalia looked at Zhan Liu with a smile, "Since you can't resist, why don't you lie down and enjoy it?" ”
"The main thing is that this time gem is really a good thing, and no one will be willing to give it up......" Zhan Liuqiang argued.
"Understood!" Natalia smiled and nodded, "I only want the Time Stone, but I don't want to take on the responsibilities of the Supreme Mage." ”
"As you said before, as long as the benefits are not responsible, I understand."
"And most people in the world do, nothing strange."
In Natalia's memory, she has seen a lot of selfish human beings, and she doesn't think it's strange at all, or simply, compared with those people, the current Zhanliu is completely like a little flower, and her heart is not black enough at all!
Having said that, Zhan Liu always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and seemed to vaguely feel in his heart that he had made a wrong decision.
Under this strange feeling, Zhan Liu felt very irritable in his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally reluctantly restrained the desire in his heart and sighed:
"I'll go find Dr. Strange and send him to Kama Taj so that he can become the most powerful Supreme Mage according to his predetermined destiny!"
He threw the Eye of Agomo on his hand and said hesitantly:
"This thing, maybe after meeting Dr. Strange, you should be able to empathize with it, right?"
"Otherwise, if it has always been in my hands, maybe I will not be able to resist the temptation at some point and change my magic!"
"Now we can only hope that Dr. Strange is still alive and not inexplicably hung up in the previous turmoil."
"Otherwise, Dr. Rostrange is really dead, and I really can't think of anyone else who can take over as Supreme Mage."
Zhan Liu only remembered that Strange was a famous neurosurgeon, but now New York is in chaos, and he doesn't know who to turn to if he wants to ask, and he has nowhere to go.
Finally, when the chaos in New York subsided, the whole city was filled with cries.
In a state of madness, everyone has done something that is difficult for them to accept, and after regaining consciousness, regret is inevitable.
Not everyone can accept such a horrific change in their own body, especially since there are many people who have caused the tragedy of their relatives and friends with their own hands.
After the chaos subsided, a large number of people chose to commit suicide under the grief, which added a bit of grief to the whole city.
Zhan Liu walked down the devastated streets, his ears were full of cries and wails of pain, and his nose was filled with all kinds of scorching smells.
Although rescue forces have been mobilized from surrounding cities, many of the fires have not been completely extinguished.
And worse, it will always be a man-made disaster.
Not all of them stopped their atrocities after regaining their senses, but many people were stimulated by the blood in front of them, which inspired the beast in their hearts and intensified their efforts to take advantage of the fire.
It can only be said that not all humanoid creatures can be classified as humans.
After his strength became stronger, Zhanliu's five senses also became more acute.
The terrible howls in the surrounding blocks poured straight into his ears, and all kinds of bloody breath came to his nose, and the mud-like blood stains all over the ground came straight into his eyes, causing a stronger irritation to Zhanliu than the phantom attack.
This kind of miserable appearance makes Zhan Liu very uncomfortable.
Although his strength has become stronger now, at the end of the day, he is still just a college student, and it is inevitable that he will empathize with these fellow students, and his heart will be full of compassion.
The Eye of Agomoto on his chest flickered slightly, making Zhanliu clearly feel that as long as he used his magic to urge the Time Stone, he would be able to rewrite everything, bring the dead back to life, and restore the destruction, so that these tragedies could be as if they had never happened, and even these people would not remember that these things had happened.
Zhan Liu looked down at this artifact, feeling that it seemed to be reminding, and it seemed to be tempting, which made people's hearts moved.
Actually, if you don't think about the final fate, it's good to be a Supreme Mage.
Moreover, the Supreme Mage is a powerhouse at the multiverse level, and he is also one of the few top superheroes in the entire Marvel Universe.
It's all time in the Marvel Universe, how can you not be a superhero?
Before he knew it, Zhan Liu's already undetermined mind loosened again, and his pace of finding Strange gradually slowed down.
I really can't get up if I want to!
In New York now, social order has not yet been restored, and the locals are basically either going crazy or crying bitterly, who will take his way?
After realizing that he had made the wrong choice, Zhanliu called Director Pierce again and asked him to help investigate.
Although most of the Hydra in New York has also collapsed, after all, they are professionals, and the speed of restoring order is definitely faster than the official speed.
Sure enough, Strange's work address was soon posted on Zhan Liu's mobile phone.
It's easy to say if you have the address, Zhan Liu flew over and searched it once, and it was over.
After arriving at the private hospital on the site, Zhan Liu found that it had been requisitioned by a group of medical workers.
Unfortunately, even at this time, this medical center is not accessible to anyone.
Originally, in the impression of Exhibition 6, the retrograde people who inevitably appear in every disaster did not appear in New York, and some only worked here with various "humanitarian organizations", followed by a large number of reporters who came to hear about it.
And here in this hospital, there are a large number of "saved" powerful and wealthy businessmen, so reporters naturally flock here and surround the hospital gates, hoping to get some explosive scoops.
Like this kind of huge accident where the entire city fell, it is definitely not something that ordinary Shengdou ordinary people can do, maybe the culprit is in this hospital, if you don't come here for an interview, will it be difficult to go to the streets?
All you need to do is send a film crew on the street to record the tragic situation, and if you want to find out the truth, you have to ask the big guys.
Journalists are well aware that no matter what the truth is, ordinary citizens will not know.
Zhan Liu knew what kind of reporters they were, but of course he didn't bother to take care of this group of reporters, so he flew directly into the air, fell on the roof of the building, and went in to find someone.
Just grab two people and ask, and everything will be clear.
The original doctors and nurses in the hospital are basically abolished, and in the event of a disaster of this level, even if they are lucky enough not to die, they will not be able to continue their work at all.
After being taken over by foreign medical staff, those local doctors who were lucky enough not to die were temporarily admitted to the general ward.
However, Dr. Strange is an exception, after all, his surgical skills are very high, and his income is very high, and he is qualified to enter the intensive care unit.
When Zhan Liu saw him, he was like a frightened bird, sitting on the edge of the hospital bed trembling, holding a glass of water in both hands, but his eyes were blank, his eyes were blank, and he was not focused, as if he had been ravaged by someone.
"Hi, Dr. Strange."
Zhan Liu stepped forward to greet him in a friendly manner, but Strange trembled when he heard this, his body subconsciously shrank, and the water glass fell out of his hand. Zhan Liu hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the water glass, put it on the table next to him, and then asked with concern:
"Are you feeling okay?"
"Do you need me to call a doctor?"
"No, no, thank you." Strange turned pale and his lips twitched, as if trying to give him a smile, but was unable to do so.
Zhan Liu was dressed strangely, and he didn't look like a doctor at first glance, but Strange was in a fragile state of mind right now, and he needed someone to talk to him.
After Strange's narration, Zhan Six finally figured out what happened to him.
I don't know if it's because Strange was born a genius of magic, and his resistance to dark magic is actually very high.
Although he had never practiced magic, the slightest wisp of dark magic could not drive him into madness.
It was precisely because he kept his sanity that he was able to escape to the operating room in time, locked himself inside, and escaped.
But because of this, he saw his beloved Christine like a madman, yelling and screaming while beating the head of the hospital director into a rotten watermelon, and then had a real chicken game with his colleagues around him, and killed everyone else, and won the final victory.
And he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only watch all this happen through the tempered glass in the observation room, but he was helpless and helpless.
When it was all over, Christine, who had regained consciousness, couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide, right in front of Strange.
Dr. Strange, who had been hiding in the operating room, was unscathed, but the psychological damage was irreparable.
In particular, the feeling of vulnerability that he could not do anything about watching his beloved fall into madness tormented him almost insane.
"Now I can't sleep at all, as soon as I close my eyes, I can see Christine standing in front of me, as if questioning me, why don't you stop her, why don't you save her......"
Strange muttered to himself like a dream, his voice full of remorse and despair.
After listening to Strange's story, Zhan Liu asked tentatively, "Then what are your plans for the future?" Continuing to be a surgeon? ”
"No, I want revenge!" Strange's fists clenched, and flames of hatred erupted from his eyes.
"So many people are going crazy, someone must have put some kind of nerve gas in the hospital, I must find the culprit!"
"No matter how much it costs, I will definitely not let him go!"
Zhan Liu scratched his head, "Regarding this matter, aren't you curious, why haven't you been affected?" ”
"I ......" Strange was also a little speechless, not knowing how to answer the question.
"Actually, it's not nerve gas, it's dark magic......"
Zhan Liu explained all the causes and consequences in detail, and thanks to the fact that there are mutants and superpowers in this world, it was easy for Strange to accept Zhan Liu's words.
"In other words, it was your work mistakes that caused all of this to happen?"
Strange angrily grabbed Zhan Liu's collar by the neck, his eyes wide with rage, and he glared at him viciously, spitting all over his face.
"Calm down, it's an accident, like you can't blame terrorists for their failures in the police's defenses...... Uh, well, that's not quite the right example. That's what I mean, you can just feel the spirit. ”
Instead of caring about Strange's faux pas, Six looked down at the spot where his hand met the Eye of Agomoto, to see if the Time Stone meant to change its owner.
However, what disappointed him was that the broken gem didn't flash when it should have flashed, and it flashed blindly when it shouldn't.
However, deep in his heart, he also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
You see, it's not that I don't want to give up the position of Supreme Mage, it's that this broken gem has recognized me!
"Ahem, Dr. Strange, are you interested in joining Kama Taj as a mage?" Zhan Liu smiled and sent out the invitation.
"Becoming a mage and practicing to defend the Earth can effectively prevent this from happening again and isolate the danger from the Earth."
"And if you become a mage, the next time you face a similar danger, you're more than capable of changing it all and not letting the tragedy happen again."
Zhan Liu's words successfully moved Strange, so although his anger did not subside, after thinking rationally for a while, he nodded resolutely:
"In the face of this extraordinary danger, I am useless without strength!"
"I don't want to experience this sense of powerlessness and vulnerability, let alone see my family and friends hurt like this."
"I need strength!"
"Extraordinary power!"
"Only supernatural strength can make me stronger!"
"Only supernatural power can protect the people I want to cherish!"
"So, I accept your invitation to join you and become a mage."
