Chapter 1135: Interference with the Space-Time Continuum, Panic Strange

"Let's get back to the topic!" Strange took a deep breath and looked at Aaron seriously, "What do you need me to do?"

"Just don't let the Supreme Sorcerer down." Aaron said concisely.

"Ah? Are you sure?" Strange frowned, not knowing why. "When you cured my crippled hands, I agreed to your three conditions.

The first was to confess my love to Christine, which I am grateful for.

The second is to study magic at Kamar-Taj, which I am doing now and without any slack.

But this third...”

"Just tell me, it's up to you whether you agree or not."

"I agree, but it feels a little weird!"

"You'll know soon." Aaron smiled mysteriously, then looked at the watch on his wrist, "Friendly reminder, if you really can't hold on and want to give up, you might as well check the time.

When I was at wizarding school, our headmaster was a firm believer that love was the greatest force in the world, and perhaps you can attest to that."

Strange nodded blankly. He didn't quite understand what Aaron meant, but he instinctively felt oppressed, as if there was a huge dark cloud overhead.

Strange left the tent absent-mindedly and was caught off guard by the heavy rain outside. The cool breeze made him shiver all over, and then he quickened his pace and ran towards the library.

Putting the magic book in his arms back in its place, Strange looked at the empty library, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to the restricted area and took down a locked magic book.

While eating an apple, he casually flipped through the banned book, but after just a while he discovered that a few pages were missing, as if they had been torn off by someone.

At this moment, an eyeball-shaped pattern appeared in his sight. Strange paused and looked up straight ahead.

The Eye of Agamotto placed on the stone platform cannot be said to be similar to the pattern in the book, but it can be said to be exactly the same.

Strange took a bite of the apple, first glanced around carefully, then turned his head guiltily and shouted, "King."

After making sure there was no response, Strange put down the apple, took the Eye of Agamotto off the stone platform, and hung it around his neck.

"Okay." Strange looked at the contents of the magic book, "First, open the Eye of Agamotto."

Following the instructions in the book, Strange raised his hands and made a seal in front of his chest.

As he did this, the Eye of Agamotto slowly opened, emitting a mysterious green light.

"Okay! Okay!" Strange took a deep breath and continued to follow the instructions in the book. He rotated his hands in a calyx shape, and a green magic circle floated in front of his palms.

His left hand slowly moved up, copied the magic circle several times, and put it on his right hand.

After doing this, Strange pointed his right hand at the apple on the table and tested the effectiveness of the Eye of Agamotto.

The green magic circle rotated clockwise, and teeth-bitten gaps appeared on the apple, and soon it turned into an apple core.

The magic circle rotated counterclockwise again, and the apple core was restored piece by piece, turning into a bright red apple.

Strange stared at the changes in the apple with wide eyes. He found the power of manipulating time unbelievable.

After experimenting with time acceleration and time reversal a few more times, he suddenly thought of something and aimed the magic circle at the tear in the middle of the book.

As the magic circle rotated counterclockwise, the two torn pages of paper reappeared.

"Dormammu." Strange muttered to himself as he read the two pages that were filled in, "Dark dimension, eternal life..."

Click!Click!Click!

Lines of transparent crystals suddenly appeared in front of him, forming a huge, flat mirror, but the colors inside were extremely distorted and strange.

At the same time, Aaron, who was about to go to sleep, suddenly felt something and opened his eyes wide.

"Gift crab!"

Without giving it any time to think, he Apparated to the library.

"Stop." Mordo and Wang Ye arrived in time. Their loud shouts made Strange's heart tremble. He couldn't help but pause. The huge mirror in front of him shattered and turned into nothingness.

"Interfering with the continuity of space and time is a taboo." Mordo said angrily.

"I was just... following the instructions in the book," Strange defended guiltily.

"Great! Do you know why this book is banned?" Aaron said with some exhaustion, "The magic in the banned section is similar to the devil's contract, I don't even dare to flip through it casually.

Stephen, you are so brave, aren't you afraid that the devil will target you?"

"I do not know!"

"Then you'd better look back." Wang said expressionlessly, "What kind of dangers are there in performing such a ritual."

"Manipulating time will create time branches, unstable dimensional openings, spatial paradoxes, and time loops. Do you want to be trapped in a time period that repeats over and over again? Or have your existence completely erased."

Strange turned to the end of the book in dismay, and saw that the content was almost the same as what Mordo described. He couldn't help but take a breath, "The warning should really be placed before the spell."

"Your curiosity may kill you. You are not manipulating the space-time continuum, but destroying it." Wang closed the magic book and warned solemnly: "We do not break the laws of nature, but protect them."

"How did you do that?" Mordo asked, pointing at Strange. "Where did you learn the long incantation required to understand it?"

"I have a photographic memory, which is why I was able to get both a medical and a philosophy doctorate."

“What you just did requires more than just a good memory.

You were born for magic."

puff!

Aaron couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Sorry, sorry.

I am also a trained person, and I will not laugh no matter how funny something is, unless I can’t help it.”

"Born for magic, Stephen, you've made it!" Aaron said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Strange looked strange, "If you are envious, just tell me, I won't laugh at you."

"Haha!" Aaron chuckled, threw an apple on the table into the air, and then cast a spell to break it into pieces.

The apple exploded instantly, and the juice and pulp scattered all over the place, spilling from mid-air.

Snapped!

At this time, Aaron snapped his fingers, and the falling juice and pulp all stopped in mid-air, and even the fruit aroma seemed to be stagnant.

"This is..." Mordo widened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, "Time has stopped."

"You have good vision." Aaron raised his eyebrows at Strange proudly, "I have also done some research on time magic, but so far I can only stop time and rewind time."

Aaron said as he released time from stillness and opened a portal in mid-air, throwing the broken apple in.

"Mordo, I remember you said that magic that is too powerful cannot be maintained and can only be used normally when it is injected into an object." Strange said with an unnatural expression.

"But if the magician is powerful enough, he can break this rule."

Aaron immediately straightened his chest and said, "Did you hear that?"

"But you just manipulated time, why didn't you..."

"Nothing?" Aaron looked at him with a half-smile, "You seem to have forgotten that my last name is Gaius, and the noble blood flowing in my body makes me immune to the influence of time.

In other words, no matter how much I play with time, the timeline can only assume that this is a normal thing. "

"Isn't this too outrageous?"

"This is my birthright, but I won't mess with time. After all, just because I'm not affected doesn't mean that other people around me won't be affected." Aaron explained seriously, and then gave Strange a provocative look, "Are you envious? If you were born for magic, then magic was born for me."

Strange: ...

"Is it necessary to be so fussy about it?"

"Haha! I am a real magician, unlike you who can only cast magic by borrowing power... No, to be precise, you are just agents of magic.

It's hard not to laugh when someone like me, a serious wizard, says that agents are born for magic!"

Mordo: I feel like I’ve been implied.

"I don't quite understand." Strange looked at Mordo in confusion, "What are we?"

Mordo and Wang looked at each other, and then took him to the center of a hall where a stone platform stood, and above the platform was a still model of the earth.

"Heroes like the Avengers protect the world from physical harm, and we magicians defend the world from magical threats." The king said as he turned the turntable on the stone platform. The earth model above was lit up, and the land map emitted an orange-yellow light.

"The Ancient One is the latest to inherit the title of Sorcerer Supreme, a lineage that dates back thousands of years to the originator of magic, the almighty Agamotto.

The same wizard who created the magical eye device you so recklessly borrowed."

Strange looked down at the Eye of Agamotto hanging on his chest, feeling embarrassed and at a loss as to what to do.

"Agamot built three temples in places with strong magic power. These places are now big cities." Wang pointed to several doors in the temple and said one by one: "This door leads to the Hong Kong Temple, this door leads to the New York Temple, and that door leads to the London Temple.

Thus, the three temples form the protective network of our present world.”

Three huge magic circles are connected to each other, covering the entire earth and forming an indestructible barrier.

"The temple protects the world, and we mages protect the temple." said Mordo.

"Against what?" Strange asked uneasily.

"Existences in other dimensions that threaten our universe." Wang said.

"Like Dormammu?"

"How did you know that name?"

"I just read it in The Book of Cagliostro, what's up?"

"Tell him!" Aaron sighed softly, "Don't hide anything. At least let him know what he will face in the future."

The king turned the turntable, and the magic circle on the earth model quickly faded. "Dormamu exists in the dark dimension, beyond this world. He is the conqueror of the universe and the destroyer of worlds. He has endless power and infinite desire."

"He wants to invade all universes and bring all worlds into his dark dimension. The one he wants to occupy the most is the Earth."

As he spoke, a thick darkness appeared on the earth model. This darkness quickly spread in all directions. After a short while, it completely swallowed up the earth and merged into a dark purple space.

Strange nodded blankly, "Could it be the pages that Casillas stole?"

"It is a ritual to summon Dormammu and draw power from the dark world."

"Hahaha!" Strange couldn't help laughing, but his laughter was extremely forced. "Okay! Okay! I...I give up."

"You can't give up." Aaron chuckled and said, "Don't forget what you promised me."

"Yes, I promised you, but... this is too big a game!" Strange pointed incoherently at the image of the dark space in the air, "This mysterious war can swallow up the earth, and I am just an insignificant life on Earth. I can't even beat Mordo."

"The word '连' is used beautifully." Mordo rolled his eyes in annoyance, making him sound very weak, as if he was the most powerful person in the whole Kamar-Taj except for the Ancient One!

"Don't change the subject." Strange interrupted, then looked at Aaron seriously, "Do you think I can withstand it when the sky falls?"

"To be honest, I don't think you can handle it."

"Right!" Strange clapped his hands. "Ancient One is the tallest man. Why should I go up there to join in the fun? Do you think you're not dying fast enough?"

“But fate says you can hold on.” Aaron shook his head with pretended regret and said nonsense seriously: “You also know that I have some research in divination.

I have seen a glimpse of a future in which you played a considerable part in the mysterious war against the darkness.

In other words, you may be the workhorse.

Even though I look down on you, I still have great respect for the fate of others."

Hearing this, Strange's mouth twitched.

He seriously suspected that Aaron wanted him to be a cannon fodder, but he had no evidence.

"Are you kidding? Don't you know whether I have that ability or not?"

Aaron smiled and pointed at the Eye of Agamotto on his chest, "Being able to control this magical weapon means you have the potential to become a supreme wizard."

Strange: ...

"Is it too late for me to put it back now?"

"What do you think?"

"But I'm really not that kind of person!"

"Okay!" Aaron spread his hands, "If you don't want to, forget it."

"Huh!" Strange breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

"But if you fail to do what you promised me, you will have to pay a price." Aaron changed the subject and looked at his hands meaningfully, "You dare to break Gaius's promise. I have to say you are very brave.

I don’t want anything else, just give me back what I gave you.”

"Hey!" Strange's heart skipped a beat and he immediately hid his hands behind his back, "What are you doing?"

"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt at all.

I still have some humanitarianism, believe me, I can solve it with a spell." Aaron pondered for a moment, and said with a little hesitation: "Let's cast a curse! Gaius's curse is not so easy to solve."
