Valkyrie of the Marvel Universe

Chapter 461 Strange Chasing Power
"So, you have become the supreme mage?"

Natalia looked at Zhan Liu dumbfoundedly, throwing the Eye of Agamotto around like throwing a bone to walk a dog.

No matter how he throws it, when the artifact exceeds a certain distance from his body, it will automatically start a small-scale time reversal and return to his hand.

Natalia was dumbfounded and envious of this spectacle.

"Then can you now see our origin through the long river of time like the ancient mage before?"

"Unfortunately, I can't!" Zhan Liu shook his head, "Manipulating the Time Stone requires magic power, but I don't have any magic power in my body."

"The time reversal we see now is not caused by me, but controlled by the time gem itself. It consumes the energy inside the time gem and has nothing to do with me."

"Unless I switch to magic, it's impossible to see the past and the future as clearly as Ancient One."

"Looking at you, it seems that you are not going 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 you will pay yourself for it."

"I don't have a big background like Gu Yi, how stupid do I have to be to learn magic?"

"A supreme mage who doesn't know magic?" Natalia laughed and said, "When you meet an enemy, you just swing your fist up and beat it?"

"Cough..." Zhan Liu forced his respect back in embarrassment, "This is called a battle mage..."

Looking at Natalia who was shaking her delicate body with a smile, Zhan Liu said bitterly, "It's not that I want to be this supreme mage, it's clearly a trap set by Gu Yi, and I don't know what she thinks..."

"But I think you're clearly having fun..." Natalia looked at Zhan Liu with a half-smile, "Since you can't resist, why don't you just lie down and enjoy it?"

"The main reason is that this Time Gem is really a good thing, no one would be willing to give it up..." Zhan Liuqiang argued.

"Understood!" Natalia nodded with a smile, "I only want the Time Stone, but I don't want to take on the responsibility of the Supreme Mage."

"As you said before, as long as the benefits are not responsible, I understand."

"And most of the people in the world will be like this, it's not surprising."

In Natalia's memory, she has seen a lot of selfish human beings, and she doesn't think it is strange at all, or to put it simply, compared with those people, the current Zhan Liu is completely like a small flower, and her heart is not enough at all. Black!

Having said that, Zhan Liu always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had a vague feeling that he had made a wrong decision.

Under this strange feeling, Zhan Liu felt very irritated in his heart.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally restrained the desire in his heart and sighed:

"I'll go find Doctor Strange and send him to Karma Taj, and let him follow his established destiny to become the most powerful supreme mage!"

He tossed the Eye of Agamotto in his hand, and said hesitantly:

"This thing, after seeing Doctor Strange, maybe you should be able to empathize with it?"

"Otherwise, if it is in my hand all the time, maybe I will not be able to withstand the temptation anytime soon and change the magic!"

"Now I can only hope that Doctor Strange is still alive and did not die inexplicably during the previous turmoil."

"Otherwise, if Dr. Strange really dies, I really can't think of anyone else who can take over the position of Supreme Sorcerer."

Zhan Liu only remembers that Strange is a famous neurosurgeon, but now New York is in chaos, and he doesn't know who to turn to if he wants to inquire, and he has nowhere to use his strength.

After finally waiting for the chaos in New York to calm down, the whole city was full of cries again.

In a state of madness, everyone has done things that are unacceptable to them. After regaining consciousness, regrets are inevitable.

Not everyone is able to accept such a horrible change in their body, especially there are many people who have personally caused the tragedy of their relatives and friends.

After the chaos subsided, a large number of people chose to commit suicide in grief, which added a bit of heavy sadness to the whole city.

Zhan Liu strolled on the devastated streets, crying and howling in pain could be heard everywhere, and all kinds of scorched smells wafted from his nose.

Although rescue forces have been mobilized from surrounding cities, many fires have not been completely extinguished.

And what's worse is always a man-made disaster.

Not all the people stopped atrocities after regaining consciousness, and many people were stimulated by the blood in front of them, which inspired the beasts in their hearts, and took advantage of the fire to loot even more.

It can only be said that not all humanoid creatures can be classified as humans.

After his strength became stronger, Zhan Liu's five senses also became more acute.

The howls from several blocks around filled my ears, and all kinds of bloody smells rushed into my nose, and the muddy blood stains all over the ground came straight into my eyes, which caused a stronger stimulus to Zhan Liu than the phantom attack.

All these miserable appearances made Zhan Liu very uncomfortable.

Although his strength has become stronger now, at the root of it, he is still just a college student, and it is inevitable that he will have empathy for these similar people, and a heart of compassion will grow in his heart.

The Eye of Agamotto hanging on his chest flickered lightly, making Zhan Liu clearly feel that as long as he activates the Time Stone with magic power, he can rewrite everything, bring the dead back to life, and reappear the destruction. Let these tragedies be as if they never happened, and even these people will not remember these things ever happened.

Zhan Liu looked down at this artifact, feeling that it seemed to remind, but also seemed to seduce, which made people's hearts flutter.

In fact, if you don't consider the final fate, it's good to be a supreme mage.

Moreover, the Supreme Mage is a multiverse-level powerhouse, and in the entire Marvel universe, he is also one of the few top superheroes.

I have traveled to the Marvel universe, how can I not be a superhero?

Unknowingly, Zhan Liu's originally unsteady will loosened again, and his pace of searching for Strange gradually slowed down.

I really can't get up anytime soon!
In New York now, social order has not yet been restored, and the locals are basically either mad or crying. Who would answer his question?
After realizing that he had made a wrong choice, Zhan Liu called Director Pierce again and asked him to help investigate.

Although most of the Hydra in New York also collapsed, they are professionals after all, and the speed of restoring order must be faster than the official speed.

Sure enough, soon, Strange's work address was sent to Zhan Liu's phone.

Once you have the address, it's easy to talk about. Zhan Liu will fly over and search for it, and it's over.

After arriving at the private hospital at the address, Zhan Liu found that it had been requisitioned by a group of medical workers.

But unfortunately, even at this time, this medical point is not accessible to just anyone.

Originally in Zhan Liu's impression, the retrogrades that would inevitably appear in every disaster did not appear in New York, and there were only various "humanitarian organizations" working here, followed by a large number of reporters who came here after hearing the news.

And here in this hospital, there are a large number of "saved" powerful and wealthy businessmen, so the reporters naturally flock here and surround the hospital gate, hoping to get some explosive exclusive news.

Such a huge accident like the fall of the whole city is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Maybe the culprit is in this hospital. If you don’t come here for interviews, is it possible to go to the street?

All you need to do is send a film crew to record the tragic situation on the street. If you want to find out the truth, you have to ask a big shot.

Journalists are well aware that no matter what the truth is, ordinary citizens will certainly not know it.

Zhan Liu knew what kind of stuff the reporters were, so of course he didn't bother to talk to these reporters, so he flew over at high altitude, fell to the roof of the building, and went in to find someone.

Just grab two people and ask them, and everything will be clarified.

The original doctors and nurses in the hospital are basically abolished. In a disaster of this level, even if they survived by luck, they cannot continue to work at all.

After being taken over by foreign doctors and nurses, those local doctors and nurses who survived were temporarily admitted to the general ward.

However, Dr. Strange is quite an exception. After all, his surgical skills are very high and his income is also very high, so he is eligible to enter the intensive care unit.

When Zhan Liu saw him, he was like a frightened bird, sitting on the side of the hospital bed trembling, holding a glass of clear water in both hands, but his eyes were dull, blank, and unfocused, as if he had been ravaged by someone Same.

"Hi, Doctor Strange."

Zhan Liu came forward to say hello in a friendly manner, but Strange trembled when he heard the sound, subconsciously shrank, and dropped the water glass.Zhan Liu hastily reached out to take the water glass, put it on the table next to him, and asked with concern:
"Are you feeling okay?"

"Should I call the doctor?"

"No, no, thank you." Strange's face was pale, and his lips twitched, as if he wanted to give him a smile, but he couldn't.

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, and he needed someone to chat with him.

After Strange's narration, Zhan Liu finally figured out what happened to him.

I don't know if it's because Strange is born with a magic genius, and he has a very high resistance to dark magic.

Although he had never practiced magic, the dark magic power could not make him fall into madness at all.

It was precisely because he retained his sanity that he was able to escape to the operating room in time, locked himself inside, and escaped a catastrophe.

But because of this, he saw with his own eyes that his beloved Christine was like a lunatic, shouting and beating the head of the hospital director into a rotten watermelon, and then had a fight with the surrounding colleagues In the real chicken eating game, he killed all the others and won the final victory.

But he was powerless to do anything about it, he could only watch all this happen through the tempered glass of the observation room, but he was helpless, there was nothing he could do.

After everything was over, Christine, who regained consciousness, couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide in front of Strange.

Dr. Strange, who had been hiding in the operating room, was unscathed, but his trauma was irreparable.

In particular, seeing the person he loves go crazy, but his sense of fragility that he can do nothing tormented him almost to the point of insanity.

"Now I can't sleep at all. As long as I close my eyes, I can see Christine standing in front of me, as if asking me, why didn't I stop her, why didn't I save her..."

Strange muttered to himself like a dream, his voice full of remorse and despair.

After listening to Strange's narration, Zhan Liu tentatively asked: "Then what are your future plans? Continue to be a surgeon?"

"No, I want revenge!" Strange clenched his fists tightly, and flames of hatred shot out from his eyes.

"So many people are going crazy, someone must have put some kind of nerve gas here in the hospital, I must find the culprit!"

"No matter how much it costs, I will never let him go!"

Zhan Liu scratched his head, "Aren't you curious about this matter, why haven't you been affected?"

"I..." Strange was also at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer this question.

"Actually, that's not nerve gas, but dark magic power..."

Zhan Liu explained everything in detail. Thanks to mutants and superpowers in this world, Strange easily accepted Zhan Liu's words.

"In other words, it was your work mistakes that caused all this to happen?"

Strange grabbed Zhan Liu's neck angrily, glared at him viciously, and sprayed all over his face with saliva.

"Calm down, this is an accident, just like you can't blame the terrorists' crimes on the police's defense failure... Uh, well, this example is not appropriate. That's all I mean, you just need to understand it."

Zhan Liu didn't care about Strange's faux pas, but looked down at the place where his hand was in contact with the Eye of Agamotto, to see if the Time Stone wanted to change its owner.

However, to his disappointment, this broken gem didn't flash when it should, 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 because this broken gem has recognized me!

"Hey, Doctor Strange, are you interested in joining Karma Taj and becoming a mage?" Zhan Liu sent out the invitation with a smile.

"Becoming a mage and practicing to defend the earth can effectively prevent this kind of situation from happening again and isolate the danger from the outside of the earth."

"And, if you become a mage, then the next time you face a similar danger, you are fully capable of changing all this and preventing the tragedy from happening again."

Zhan Liu's words successfully moved Strange, so although he was still angry, after thinking rationally for a while, he nodded resolutely and said:
"In the face of this extraordinary danger, I am useless without strength!"

"I don't want to experience this sense of powerlessness and fragility anymore, and I don't want to see my relatives and friends around me being hurt like this."

"I need strength!"

"Extraordinary power!"

"Only supernatural power can make me stronger!"

"Only extraordinary power can protect the people I want to cherish!"

"So, I accept your invitation to join you and become a mage."
