Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1029 Science and Magic

Luther was able to prevent himself from touching the dark book full of temptations and taboos, and in the eyes of the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One, the treatment he received was almost equivalent to that of an equally powerful being.

With him here, we're in safe hands!

Wanda felt both anticipation and worry.

She didn't know what Strange was doing, but from his focused expression, she could feel that Strange was also working hard.

As time went on, Strange's understanding of time magic gradually became ingrained in his bones.

He began to try to build an unprecedented time loop mechanism in the dark dimension, which could not only resist Dormammu's invasion, but also weaken the power of this dark overlord to a certain extent.

However, this is not an easy task. Every attempt is like a silent battle with the universe itself. If you are not careful, you may fall into an eternal cycle and be unable to extricate yourself.

"not enough,"

After countless failures, Strange finally came to this conclusion.

According to what Luther said, the power of time magic and the Eye of Agamotto alone is not enough to make Dormammu retreat.

"The key is Wanda!"

Strange thought to himself that in order to truly defeat Dormammu, he must rely on Wanda's powerful chaos magic.

So, Strange began to conceive an unprecedented plan.

Time magic, this ancient and mysterious art, allows Strange to travel between the past and the future, observing, intervening, and even changing the course of events.

However, as powerful as it is, it is limited by the user's willpower and understanding of timelines.

In contrast, Wanda's chaos magic is more primitive and unpredictable. It comes from the emotional fluctuations deep in the soul. It can distort reality and reshape everything, but it often brings unpredictable consequences.

He would combine the precise control of time magic with the unbridled power of Wanda's chaos magic to create an unprecedented dual cycle of time and chaos.

This cycle not only allows Dormammu to be trapped in an endless mist of time, but also uses the unpredictability of chaos in each cycle to deal a fatal blow to Dormammu.

The plan sounded bold and risky, but Strange had no choice.

However, when Strange presented this plan to Luther, he was mildly mocked by the former.

"Careless conception, wasteful use of natural resources,"

Luther shook his head, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "But for you, it's already very good."

Luther's words shocked Strange. He understood that although he had come a long way on the road of time magic, he still had a long way to go compared to someone like Luther.

If Strange's expertise extended beyond medicine to physics, quantum mechanics, and even higher-dimensional cosmology, he might realize that he could actually do much more than that.

Imagine if he could combine the principles of time magic with physics theories such as quantum entanglement and space-time folding, then the time loop he constructed would no longer be just a simple repetition at the macro level, but would be able to penetrate into the microscopic particle level and even affect the space-time structure of the entire universe.

Dormammu will be trapped in an endless fog of time, and can use the principles of quantum physics at the microscopic level to make each cycle unique and full of variables.

Under this scenario, Strange might be able to create a "quantum time lock."

Quantum entanglement, one of the most puzzling phenomena in quantum mechanics, describes the ability of two or more particles to instantly sense each other's state no matter how far apart they are.

If the "nodes" of time magic can be combined with the "links" of quantum entanglement, then this fusion will open up a new chapter of unprecedented dimensional wars.

The "nodes" of time magic are essentially the manipulation of the flow of time, allowing the caster to insert or remove events at specific points in time, while quantum entanglement is a phenomenon observed in the microscopic world, where two or more particles can instantly sense each other's state changes no matter how far apart they are.

This action at a distance provides a solid theoretical basis for the "link" of time magic, so that even if a dimensional demon like Dormammu tries to break out of the carefully designed time loop, he will be ruthlessly pulled back to the starting point of the loop by the entanglement between quantum states, as if he was tightly bound by an invisible chain composed of quantum states.

Space-time folding is a concept in general relativity, which means that under extreme conditions (such as near a black hole), the space-time structure can be bent, folded, and even form a "wormhole" connecting different space-times.

If the element of space-time folding can be introduced into the time loop, then each cycle will no longer be a simple repetition, but different reality branches can be created at different space-time nodes. These branches are connected to each other through quantum entanglement to form an intricate network.

In such a network, every attempt of Dormammu to escape will be the beginning of his falling into deeper trouble.

Wanda's chaos magic is the key to breaking the balance of this network and introducing uncertainty.

Every time Wanda releases her magic, it triggers a series of random events at the quantum level. These events not only affect the direction of the timeline, but also interfere with the entanglement of quantum states at the microscopic level, making every iteration of the time loop full of unknowns and variables.

Every time Wanda casts a spell, it's like throwing a quantum dice into this precisely designed system, making it impossible for Dormammu to ever predict where the next cycle will take him.

In other words, the two of them can create a microcosm that is constantly evolving and full of chaos and order.

In this universe, time is no longer a linearly flowing river, but a complex network composed of countless intertwined quantum events, each of which may be the key to changing destiny.

"With Dormammu's intelligence, it would probably take him hundreds of years to figure out this quantum time lock. But he is a dimensional demon after all. He is omniscient and omnipotent in his own dimension, so it may be shorter."

After Luther finished speaking, he saw Strange's face with a look of astonishment.

"Luther, I understand your analogy, but science is based on a large number of experiments and observations. Every law and theory of science has been rigorously verified. And the things you mentioned, such as the randomness of quantum states and the nonlinearity of timelines, although they have been widely accepted in the scientific community, are still phenomena that can only be observed under specific conditions, rather than tools that can be manipulated at will."
