A mob of clones

Marvel Universe, Dark Doctor Strange world line...

New York Sanctuary...

"bump--"

A huge crash suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.

A figure in a red cloak crashed through the wall of the red brick building and was knocked flying.

Draw a beautiful parabola in the air.

He flew backwards for dozens of meters before he came to his senses and stabilized his body in the air.

If there were passers-by standing here at this moment, they would probably scream in surprise, because the figure flying backwards was none other than the superhero, the contemporary Sorcerer Supreme - Doctor Strange.

As for his opponent...

To the inside of his brick wall.

A light cloud of smoke spread quickly and then slowly dissipated with the breeze.

Another Doctor Strange suddenly walked out of the hole.

They are obviously the same person, but at this moment they have completely different temperaments.

One is holy, upright, dignified and strong.

The other is weird, twisted, cold and evil.

The two are like completely opposite mirrors, facing each other in completely unequal positions.

The one standing on a high place and looking down was clearly Doctor Strange of Light wearing the supreme cloak.

But the confrontation between the two sides does not depend on their positions, but on their strength.

At this time, the pressure is on Doctor Strange...

Doctor Strange of Light looked at the Dark Strange below and felt a huge pressure.

Even though Ancient One brought all the wizards of Kamar-Taki to cast a protective spell on him in advance, it did not give him any extra sense of security.

Fine beads of sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

The combat effectiveness of both sides is not at the same level at all.

How to fight this?
Dark Strange obviously knew this truth, but he was still unwilling to do something so ruthless when facing himself.

Therefore, he did not pursue it relentlessly from the beginning, but just stood there and stretched out his hand towards the strange light in the air and said:

"Why are you resisting? Have you forgotten our original goal?"

In response, Guangming Qiyi gritted his teeth and retorted:

"We all know that's not going to happen."

"If there is a problem with the absolute time point, the entire universe will be destroyed."

"I can't kill everyone in the universe just for my own selfish desires."

Guangming Qiyi obviously also knew his own weaknesses.

While speaking, he no longer stayed in the air, but dived quickly, and the magic symbols in his hands turned into rings.

In an instant, golden lightning flew out from his hands.

Like a huge net, it strangely enveloped the darkness below.

But before he could dive completely.

Doctor Strange's body seemed to have hit a solid railing and was suspended in mid-air.

Of course, it wasn't really hovering, but just an arm pinched his shoulder, stopping him from moving forward.

Without waiting for Doctor Strange to react.

A burst of powerful force suddenly swept through his whole body.

The light was so strange that I felt the world spinning before my eyes.

When he saw the new scene clearly, Guangming Qiyi was stunned for a moment.

Because the scene before him was so familiar to him.

The pitch-black asphalt road, the twisted car frame, and the broken glass windows.

The piercing sound of sirens...

Isn't this the scene of the car accident where Christine died the first time?
Everything before my eyes seemed like a sharp blade piercing into the strange chest of light, and time seemed to be suffocating.

The wonder of light is merely the wonder of darkness that has let go of its obsession.

Both of them have the desire to save Christine.

The only difference is that one is able to let go of the obsession in his heart, while the other is almost obsessed with it.

How could he not be moved at all by the tragedy caused by his own negligence?

"I just need you to be there."

"Wang and Ancient One won't understand."

"They don't know her!"

"Open your eyes and take a good look."

"For so many days and nights, we held the Time Stone in our hands."

"And I mustered up the courage to try and save her!"

"So you succeeded?"

Dark Doctor Strange said a lot, but Light Doctor Strange silenced him with just one sentence.

He didn't say anything, but the sadness on his face said it all...

But the next moment the sad look on his face turned cruel.

"Yes, I didn't!"

“So I started looking for something that might work.”

"I spent centuries on this!"

“I gave almost everything I had!!!”

"So you can save her now?"

Another question that goes straight to the heart.

The two are indeed the same person, and every word they say goes straight to the most vulnerable part of the other's heart.

But this time Dark Strange didn't back down!
He suddenly pulled away the shoulders of Doctor Strange in front of him, made him point at him, grabbed his collar with both hands, his eyes full of madness.

"No! Stephen! It's not me! It's us!!!"

Without any hesitation, Dark Doctor Strange opened his mouth, and blazing flames spewed out of his mouth, sweeping towards the Light Doctor Strange in front of him.

It seemed as if it would completely swallow up its body in an instant.

But just as the flame was about to approach the other party's body.

"coax!"

A huge explosion spread out, and one golden rune after another was like a piece of clothing covered on the strange body of light.

Not only did it extinguish the engulfing flames, it even shook away the strange hands of darkness.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the light retreated strangely and quickly, and golden magic circles were drawn in the book one after another.

A series of magics turned into a golden tide and flowed out from his hands. Along with the magic, his slightly angry shout also flowed out:
"You will cause the universe to be destroyed by doing this, do you know that?!"

"If the universe is destroyed, what will happen even if you rescue Christine?"

"You will just have to watch her die."

“It may not even be just Christine then!”

"The entire universe will be buried with it."

But his roar obviously couldn't wake up the dark Doctor Strange who was already deeply buried in his obsession.

He has experienced too much, paid too much, and lost too much to stop.

"Wow—"

A big hand stretched out from nothingness and grabbed Doctor Strange's throat in an instant.

In an instant, colorful lights appeared on Doctor Strange's neck, and an extremely terrifying power emanated from his skin to the surroundings, trying to drive away evil and darkness.

But it's clear that Dark Doctor Strange is much more powerful.

Drops of bright red blood flowed from Doctor Strange's neck.

He opened his eyes with some difficulty, and in a trance he seemed to see a dark poisonous snake biting his neck.

His eyes drifted downwards again, and even the radiant Doctor Strange couldn't help but be startled.

How should he describe what he was seeing now?

If he had to describe it, it would only be two words - "scary!" At this time, Dark Doctor Strange was no longer human.

The whole person looks like a super stitched together monster made up of various monsters.

The left half of the basilisk's face, the right half of the dragon's face, the chin of the giant monster, the eyes of the one-eyed owl, the tentacles of the evil god...

Now Doctor Strange finally understood where the guy in front of him got such powerful strength.

The power of so many evil creatures gathered in one body, and such terrifying magic power all melted into one furnace. The power displayed by the other party is not just too much.

Doctor Strange even felt that the guy in front of him probably hadn't used his full strength on him yet!

After understanding this, Doctor Strange no longer had any thoughts of confronting the guy head-on, and immediately spoke again:

"Calm down. There might be other ways to deal with Christine's matter."

"But all of that is based on the assumption that the timeline is still intact and the world still exists normally."

"If you really create that time paradox, everything will be really out of control."

"Calm down, let's think about whether there is any other way."

"You understand, my feelings for Kristen are definitely no less than yours."

Doctor Strange still wants to persuade or delay time.

But that's obviously not what Dark Doctor Strange wants to hear.

He waved his hand and interrupted the words of Doctor Strange in front of him.

The next moment, Doctor Strange's eyes suddenly blurred. When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had changed.

Dark Doctor Strange's attack seemed to penetrate the years, and in an instant he was taken to another different time and space.

This is still the time when Christine died.

But the difference is that there are busy figures appearing here one after another.

When Strange looked around, he fell silent because that was all he saw.

It is so dense that it almost covers the entire ground and sky.

Christine's figure also filled the entire sky and earth.

The Stranges tried all kinds of means and tried every possible means to save Christine's life, but there is no doubt that they all failed.

Dark Doctor Strange pointed at the crying figures one after another and shouted angrily:

"Other ways. If there really were other ways, how could I have come to this point today?"

"Look at all my previous attempts and tell me what other possibilities there are?!"

Dark Doctor Strange is also Strange. If there really were other possibilities, how could he not try?

All the magic that could be found in Kamar-Taj, all the strategies he could imagine.

He has tried them all!
If there really was no other solution, why would he bet everything on this? !

Dark Doctor Strange waved his hand again.

The densely packed figures around him disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by a strange black-haired young man whom he did not recognize.

"Look, that's the helper that Ancient One invited for you."

"He thinks the same as you do."

"Why don't you come and see his achievements!"

The black-haired young man cast his power from high in the sky.

A gem fell from the sky, and Doctor Strange recognized the true identity of the gem.

It is the Soul Gem, one of the six Infinity Gems, which has the same name as the Mind Gem in the Eye of Agamotto.

The gem fell and hit the forehead of Christine who had just died.

In an instant, he took away the other person's soul.

Seeing this scene, Doctor Strange was stunned for a moment, but soon he was delighted.

Yes, this method works!
If possible, the Soul Stone could shoot away Christine's soul and resurrect her in the future.

This will not affect the process of him becoming Doctor Strange in the past and cause a time paradox, and it can also save Christine, so it might be feasible.

But just as this thought came to his mind, the scene in front of him instantly shattered his hope.

Because he saw with his own eyes that the soul inside the soul gem was inexplicably shattered, turned into a point of light and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Kristen Day still died, even with the protection of the Soul Gem.

Doctor Strange opened his eyes wide and spoke subconsciously.

"Why?!"

Looking at the incredible appearance of Doctor Strange of Light, Doctor Strange of Dark didn't seem to be in a hurry and sighed softly.

"Because of the absolute timing!"

"Absolute time point?!"

"But isn't the absolute time point just for Christine's death, and then for me to become the Supreme Sorcerer?"

"This method does not change the course of time."

"why not?"

Facing the questioning of Doctor Strange of Light, Doctor Strange of Dark seemed extremely calm. He shook his head slightly, and it was obvious that he did not fully understand it, but he could only retell the reality he had experienced.

"The absolute point in time is the absolute death of Christine."

"This is true for both the soul and the body."

Dark Doctor Strange's voice was so calm when he said this, but as a fellow Strange, Light Doctor Strange could hear the tremendous anger in it.

Sure enough, the next moment, Doctor Strange of Light looked up and saw the scarlet eyes of Doctor Strange of Darkness.

"It's the world that wants Christine dead."

"I tried, but it just wouldn't let her go."

"In that case, you can't blame me for anything!"

"I'm telling you! At the absolute time, I've broken the spell. Even Jesus can't stop him. I said it!"

Suddenly, Dark Doctor Strange reached out and wiped off the last few runes on Light Doctor Strange's face.

A flash of light appeared, and Doctor Strange knew that he was doomed. He sighed helplessly and slowly closed his eyes.

But after closing his eyes and waiting for a moment, Dr. Light did not experience the feeling of being absorbed as he expected.

Nor did consciousness fall into darkness.

Doctor Strange opened his eyes with a confused look on his face, but what puzzled him was that what he saw when he opened his eyes was not another figure of himself.

On the contrary, the person standing in front of him was a black-haired boy.

Doctor Strange was indeed not completely sure whether the scene before his eyes was real or an illusion.

He looked at Marvel Wu He with suspicion, doubting that everything in front of him was just another illusion created for him.

After all, everything changed so quickly that he had no chance to react.

But fortunately, Doctor Strange still has the ability to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Therefore, he quickly adjusted himself and looked at Marvel Wu He doubtfully:

"Are you the helper that Master Ancient One mentioned?"

"Yes."

Seeing the young man in front of him nod, Doctor Strange nodded again and said:

"Did you save me just now?"

"Yes."

"What about the other me?"

"I locked him up."

Doctor Strange: “?!”

"How did you do it?!"

This time, Marvel Wu He did not continue to answer, but just smiled and stretched out his hand.

A palm-sized purple round crystal wall appeared in his hand.

Doctor Strange also quickly looked over there, and then his pupils shrank sharply, his mouth opened slightly, and he subconsciously murmured a name that was extremely important in his mind.

"Christine?!"
