Chapter 431: The Desperate Future Observed by Strange

The dimensional space is dark and deep, as if it can swallow all light and sound.

In this silent world, a figure sat alone in the corner, looking particularly lonely. It was Strange. His eyes were deep and his brows revealed unspeakable worry.

In sharp contrast, another figure dressed in an iron armor shining with a cold metallic luster was walking back and forth.

Under his steel mask were a pair of equally furrowed brows. It was obvious that his anxiety was comparable to Strange's.

Although their actions were completely different, their heavy moods were exactly the same. They were both deeply worried about the unknown challenges they were about to face.

The air seemed to freeze. Only the subtle sound of metal rubbing against the ground under Tony's feet and Strange's occasional light sigh in deep thought broke the oppressive silence.

Chen Ye stood aside, watching all this, and comforted him: "Don't worry, this is just my guess. Things are not serious yet. Maybe my guess is not accurate."

Obviously, Chen Ye's comfort did not have any effect.

The two of them also had no time to pay attention to Chen Ye at this time.

Under Tony's steel mask, his eyes were fixed on the holographic projection, and he and the artificial intelligence Jarvis were frantically searching for every clue about the Celestials, hoping to find a way to fight against the unknown enemy from the vast ocean of knowledge.

Strange, on the other hand, was suspended in the air in an almost meditative posture, his hands forming a complex triangular seal, and the time gem on his chest emitting a soft but firm green light. It was the power of time, flowing slowly around him.

The strangest thing is that his head was shaking at an incomprehensible speed, as if he was having a silent conversation with time itself, trying to glimpse fragments of the future.

Chen Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Strange's devilish look, although he knew he shouldn't laugh in this situation.

But he really couldn't help it. Compared to watching it in the cinema in his previous life, watching it live was so weird that it was hard not to laugh.

Of course he guessed that this guy was trying to use the Time Stone to observe the future, but Chen Ye was not optimistic about Strange.

After all, what can we say about the opponents this time? There are countless enemies with Thanos’ level of combat power, and there are even more who surpass Thanos.

It is even said that many enemies can rub the time gems with their hands, so it is useless to use this thing to observe them.

To put it bluntly, even if Strange could see something from the future,

That must be what the enemy wanted them to see.

After all, the Observers and Judges in the Celestial Clan are not vegetarians.

Not to mention what if this guy alerts the Five Great Gods and the God of Creation.

These guys have been looking for him.

In worse cases, these people will even attack Strange along the river of time.

But Chen Ye did not stop him. His intuition told him that there should be no problem.

Even if something unexpected happened to Strange, he would immediately take action to stop it. The worst that could happen would be a fight.

Fortunately, nothing happened until Strange finished observing the future.

Tony on the side had already finished his conversation with Jarvis and was looking at Strange. He was also very curious about Strange's weird state.

"What are you doing? Giving up on yourself and taking drugs?" Tony said, trying to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

Strange turned his head slowly, and his eyes, which usually sparkled with wisdom, were now bloodshot and looked extremely tired.

He forced himself to force a bitter smile, but the bitterness in it was far more obvious than the smile, as if it was carrying a heavy burden.

He didn't answer Tony's question directly because the answer was too heavy for him to bear.

After observing the timeline, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Every peek through time and space is a huge drain on mental and physical strength.

His face was pale and his brows were furrowed, as if he had just woken up from an endless nightmare, with his heart filled with lingering haze.

As early as when Chen Ye returned, Strange had already tried to observe the future.

The future at that time was like a fog, chaotic and unclear, making it impossible to grasp

After listening to Chen Ye's clues today, he observed the future again. This time, he saw more. Although they were just some scattered fragments, they were enough to make him terrified.

Among those fragments, there was no enemy figure described by Chen Ye, but no matter how hard he tried or how he changed the angle of observation, the final outcome pointed in a desperate direction - the destruction of the earth.

This fact, like a huge rock, weighed heavily on his heart and almost suffocated him.

"What Chen Ye said is absolutely right." Strange murmured in a low voice. Although his voice was small, it was full of helplessness and despair.

He understood that those beings that he could not observe must have powers beyond his. This feeling of powerlessness was more profound and painful than any physical fatigue.

"I was just observing the future." Strange finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse, as if every word carried a thousand pounds of weight.

Tony's expression instantly turned serious when he heard this.

"What's the result?" he blurted out, his tone filled with both anticipation and uneasiness.

Chen Ye was also very curious about what the future would be like as Strange saw it.

Strange shook his head.

"I saw... the destruction of the earth." Although his voice was small, it was like a thunder, exploding among the three people.

"I have observed the future no less than a billion times, every possible branch, every tiny change, but every time, no matter how tortuous the process is, the earth will inevitably be destroyed in the end." Strange's words were full of helplessness and frustration.

Hearing such an answer, Chen Ye was not surprised, but just smiled bitterly.

Although I was mentally prepared, I didn't expect the ending to be like this.

Tony seemed even more shocked. He couldn't help but take two steps back, with disbelief written all over his face. However, after a brief shock, he quickly regained his composure and began to think about the key to the problem.

"Did we succeed?" Tony asked eagerly.

Although the earth was destroyed, Strange did not say that they had failed.

Strange shook his head: "I didn't see it. I only know that the Earth was destroyed. Even though we almost succeeded a few times, we still failed in the end."

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Chen Ye comforted him, "Look at the bright side. At least we didn't fail, right? You still have me. Don't worry."

Tony's brain was working rapidly as he tried to capture some useful information from Strange's words.

"What kind of future was it, that it almost succeeded?" he asked, with a determined light in his eyes.

He hopes to improve his own plan by understanding those failed plans, and maybe find the key to success this time.

Strange just shook his head helplessly: "If I tell you, the future will change. I can't reveal too much, otherwise it will interfere with the course of history."

However, he paused, as if making a difficult decision: "But what I can tell you is that the decisive battle will take place in the Big Apple.

Strange's words were full of profound meaning. He deliberately paused on the words "Big Apple", as if hinting at something.

After listening to Strange's words, Chen Ye showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

Tony kept muttering to himself: "Big Apple... Big Apple..." His eyes suddenly fell on Hell's Kitchen in the dimensional space.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he looked at Chen Ye and said, "Chen Ye, don't you think this dimension is too small with only Hell's Kitchen? What do you think of turning it into the Big Apple?"
