Chapter 134: The Price of an Ideal World
"I'm not lying!"
Doctor Strange's eyes were bloodshot, and his face let out a hoarse growl.
"Just now, you can just snap your fingers and create the best world you can imagine! And the world you created can break through the absolute point of time, and it is the only world I can stay in with Christine...... I'm definitely not lying about that—"
"But at what cost? Strange! ”
Red simply interrupted Doctor Strange's words, and the power of his flesh rose with an increasingly intense emotion of anger.
"I guess you forgot to tell me that the premise of creating your world was to destroy this existing world, as well as all the life in this world, including my companions."
Why there are two sets of Infinity Stones, the question is very important for those who have already known in advance about the What If....? The plot of Red is not difficult to answer.
In What if....? At the end of the story, the blackened Doctor Strange forcibly rescues Christine with powerful magical powers, but the world he lives in also completely collapses due to the paradox of time.
Then, due to the fact that Ultron collected all the Infinity Stones in a parallel universe and became a threat to the multiverse, Doctor Strange Blackened participated in the operation to stop Ultron as one of the guardians of the multiverse.
After a fierce battle, the final result was that Ultron was taken away by Dr. Zola of the parallel universe, and Clemungo and Zola of the parallel universe fought for control of the Infinity Stones, and the blackened Doctor Strange took the opportunity to lock them up in the mirror dimension, while he himself guarded them for eternity.
But it's clear that in this world, the story doesn't end here.
After a long period of time, Doctor Strange finally managed to solve this problem and recovered the six Infinity Stones that originally belonged to Ultron. But his own world has died out because of his mistakes, so Doctor Strange can only return to their original world with these six Infinity Stones-
Even the Ancient One was deceived, this is not the world where Doctor Strange has lost his heart at all.
It's the world of [if Ultron gets all the Infinity Stones].
All life in this universe has been wiped out by Ultron, but Doctor Strange, who has mastered advanced time magic, powerful magic, and Infinity Stones as support, can easily reset the universe back to before it happened. It stands to reason that he can live a peaceful life in this world, and even Christine in this world who is not the absolute point of time, but ......
"You still want Christine in your own world, or you want to restore your own world, but you can't do it with the Infinity Stones of Ultron's world, right?"
Doctor Strange's silence is equivalent to admitting Red's guess, each universe of Infinity Stones is unique, although in the multiverse there is no Infinity Stones in other universes to completely fail, even if Infinite Ultron can exert his strength in other universes, but it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants like in this universe, otherwise Infinite Ultron only needs to snap his fingers to the multiverse guardian will all turn to ashes.
Therefore, it is very likely that the Infinity Stones are interfering directly with other universes.
"So you took the Infinity Stones of your own world from your own collapsed world...... However, the gem that has destroyed the universe is obviously not enough to restore the universe, otherwise you would have done it a long time ago. And as you say, if it's your own restored universe, Christine will become an absolute point of time again, and it doesn't mean anything to you. ”
Red looked at the Infinity Stones beside Doctor Strange, and now that he had unlocked the illusion, it was clear that the gems were pale compared to the ones he was wearing, perhaps because the universe to which they belonged had collapsed.
The next thing can be imagined even if Red doesn't know magic. Doctor Strange needs a lot of resources to restore his world, and the best way to do this is to replace it with an existing universe.
So in fact, if Red really snapped his fingers and made a wish just now, it was not actually to reshape this world, but to trigger the effect of two sets of Infinity Stones on his body at the same time-
Use the original Infinity Stones in this world to destroy the universe, and then use this resource to create a new universe with the Infinity Stones of Doctor Strange's world.
"You're a real dog, Strange. If I had fallen in your way just now, not to mention whether I could withstand the backlash brought by the two sets of Infinity Stones, I would have killed Hela and Ivan with my own hands...... And all the people I know in this world. ”
This wish can't be made by Doctor Strange, but he can't give it to the rest of this world, after all, this is tantamount to destroying his own world, how can anyone be so stupid to make this wish, let alone use two sets of Infinity Stones at the same time, and Strange can't find a few in the entire universe of eligible people.
In the end, Strange hit the idea at Red, the wronged boss from another universe.
"But your newly created world also has these people, and they are exactly like this world! You can also make them what you like, make that person named Hela fall in love with you forever, or become your slave, and I'm only going to take one person from this world—"
"Can parallel worlds still be the same person? You should know this better than anyone else, don't you, the Christine idiot who is obsessed with your own world, feel ashamed when you say these things to me? ”
The blackened Doctor Strange's face froze, and he obviously couldn't refute Red's words, so he slammed his hands into the ground.
"Enough! You don't understand anything at all from the beginning...... The biggest mistake I made was not to brainwash you in the first place, but to put you into this world to connect with other people in order to observe you, but I still have time to correct this mistake! ”
Thundered!
Several eyeless serpentine monsters emerged from the ground and approached Red, but the latter raised his hand to summon Mjölnir and quickly slammed forward.
The scorching red light energy magma gushed out, instantly blasting these serpentine monsters into charred skeletons, although the battle with Thanos just now caused a lot of consumption, but now Red has long been full of energy due to the irrepressible strong anger.
"Lie to me, don't fool yourself, Strange, did you really put me into this world just because you wanted to observe me, and use this troublesome way to mislead me into helping you achieve your goal?"
The blackened Doctor Strange gritted his teeth and threw a dark red ball of energy at Red with both hands at the same time, but it was easily defused by Red using Mjöornir as a tennis ball.
"No, you know very well that if you continue to fight at that time, you can't control me, that's why you interfered with my memory and threw me into this world."
Red was wrapped up in the surging power of blood and qi all over his body, and he knew that this was the real final battle.
"Stephen Strange, you want to attack my companions, as the leader of the Red Lantern Legion, I hereby sentence you to death!"
