Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1032 Dormammu is killed
"No, what the hell happened?"

Dormammu's roar echoed in the endless darkness, his voice full of disbelief and anger.

As the ruler of the dark dimension, He had never encountered such a strange situation.

Every time, when he gathered all his strength and intended to destroy Strange and Wanda in front of him in one fell swoop, he found himself as if being pulled by an invisible force and instantly returned to the original attack position. Sometimes, this force would even send him back to a more unfavorable time and space node.

This power is the quantum time lock carefully arranged by Wanda and Strange.

Within this time lock, the concept of time is completely overturned. It is no longer a linear flow in the traditional sense, but presents a superposition state of quantum state.

Every moment is like an ocean of infinite possibilities. Every decision and every action may lead to a new and unknown branch of the universe.

Every time Dormammu tries to escape, he is wandering in this endless quantum state, but in the end he is always pulled back to the starting point by some subtle quantum connection, as if an invisible hand is ruthlessly manipulating the wheel of fate.

What makes Dormammu even more desperate is that this cycle is not a simple repetition. Every attempt to escape is accompanied by subtle changes in the quantum state.

Although these changes are subtle, they are enough to make the escape route more complicated and more elusive.

Dormammu found himself like a mouse trapped in a maze. Every time he tried to find the exit, he always returned to the starting point. The walls of the maze were made up of countless possible futures and pasts.

Normally, in our universe, time is seen as a one-way river flowing from the past to the future, but inside a quantum time lock, time takes on a puzzling superposition of quantum states.

This means that every moment is no longer single and definite, but contains an interweaving of countless possible futures and pasts.

Every time Dormammu tries to break this cycle, he seems to enter a maze with infinite branches. Every choice leads to the same origin, but is so subtly different.

This characteristic of the quantum state makes Dormammu's efforts to escape futile.

Every attempt, even the smallest movement, will cause subtle changes in the quantum state. These changes accumulate, making each "restart" like looking for the only exit in an intricate web, and that web is constantly weaving and deforming itself.

And Wanda, the young witch who possesses chaos magic, is the key to this quantum time lock.

Her magic, like an invisible hand, penetrated into the core of the dark dimension, interfering with the unique energy structure there.

These energy structures are not microscopic particles in the traditional sense, but are unique to the dark dimension and exist beyond conventional physical cognition.

These energy structures, if described in scientific terms, can be analogous to the "vacuum fluctuations" in quantum field theory, but their manifestations in the dark dimension are much more complicated because they not only affect the curvature of space, but are also directly related to the flow of time.

Through her magic, Wanda actually intervened in these energy structures at a microscopic level, thereby indirectly affecting the dark dimension's control over time.

This intervention, though seemingly minor, was enough to make Dormammu's absolute control over time fragile, as if he was walking on solid ice that could break at any moment.

Originally, Dormammu, as the ruler of the dark dimension, has absolute control over the flow of time. He can easily manipulate the passage of time and even reverse the direction of time.

However, under the influence of Wanda's magic, the flow of time became like a stirred lake, turbulent and unpredictable. Dormammu's perception and control of time also became fragile, like a bird that lost its wings and could no longer soar in the sky.

"Success!"

Wanda and Strange looked at each other, their eyes flashing with joy of victory.

They knew that as long as Wanda's chaos magic continued to affect the "quantum" in the dark dimension, Dormammu would never have any hope of breaking free.

The "quantum" here, although a scientific concept from the real universe, does not originally exist in the dark dimension.

However, under the "idealistic" effect of Wanda's chaos magic, this concept was given life and became a new and incredible existence in the dark dimension.

She couldn't understand the mathematics and physics behind the complex concept of "quantum", but Strange tried to explain it to her in the simplest way: quantum is the basic unit that constitutes everything in the universe. They exist in a superposition state of both existence and non-existence, and only "choose" a certain state when they are observed.

Although Wanda could not fully grasp these theories, she incorporated this concept into her own chaos magic in an almost intuitive way.

After all, she is able to transform her will into reality.

In Wanda's world, as long as she believes and as long as she desires, even the most incredible things can happen.

Wanda's approach is undoubtedly an idealistic interpretation of the concept of "quantum".

She did not really grasp the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics, nor did she have a deep understanding of those puzzling wave functions, probability amplitudes, and the uncertainty principle.

But she used her will and magic to create "quantum" phenomena that did not originally exist in the dark dimension.

It’s like when God created the world he said, “I say, let there be light,” and then the light appeared. Wanda used her magic to say, “I say, let there be quantum,” and so, in the dark dimension, a new “quantum” phenomenon that violated its essential laws was “ideally” created.

These quanta interact with the energy structures of the dark dimension in a wonderful way, forming this quantum time lock.

I guess when they both return to the real universe and learn in detail about Kamar-Taj's records on dimensional space and quantum mechanics, they will both break out in cold sweats.

They will find that they almost died without even realizing it.

They realize that they may have inadvertently disturbed the most delicate balance in the universe, creating a rift that could spark inter-dimensional conflict.

Although the "quantum" phenomenon in the dark dimension has temporarily trapped Dormammu, it may also become a bridge connecting two completely different worlds, triggering a series of unpredictable consequences.

The dark dimension, as a multiverse space outside the real universe, follows completely different physical laws and rules. Here, "dark energy" is the only real entity, which constitutes the cornerstone and essence of the dark dimension.
