Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 275 Harry: Cough cough, Strange, I'm seriously injured. From now on, you'll be the new Sorcerer Supreme!
Strange stopped at the point where the Dark Dimension connected to Earth, feeling somewhat hesitant.

He knew that if he failed this time, he would die completely.

If he abandons Earth, he can live well in the multiverse with his current abilities.

However, he finally took a deep breath, silently organized his thoughts, and then resolutely stepped into that mysterious area shrouded in eternal darkness.

The moment he stepped into the Dark Dimension, Strange felt intense discomfort. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by an invisible hand, and the air was so thick it was almost solidified. Every breath felt like swallowing thick asphalt, giving him an indescribable sense of oppression and suffocation.

The sight before him was even more shocking to Strange: the enormous Dormammu, like an insurmountable black mountain, occupied his entire field of vision.

Its body is composed of countless twisted shadows and energy that flickers with an eerie purple light. This energy, like a living thing, rolls and surges on its surface, emitting a low and chilling roar, as if telling of the endless darkness and chaos before the birth of the universe.

Strange's heart pounded wildly, each beat like a hammer blow to his chest, but he suppressed his fear, straightened his back, and his eyes revealed determination and resolve.

"Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate!" Strange shouted, gathering his strength. His voice echoed in the distorted space, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, instantly swallowed up by the endless void of the dark dimension.

However, since the dimensional lords have absolute control within their own dimensions, Dormammu still managed to discover him.

Dormammu's massive body slowly turned, and a huge eye, emitting a purple glow, slowly opened, like a giant purple star floating in the darkness. Its gaze was filled with indifference and contempt, as if it were looking down at an insignificant ant.

"Insignificant human, how dare you trespass into my domain? You are courting death." Dormammu's voice came from all directions, like rolling thunder, making Strange's eardrums ache. The entire Dark Dimension trembled under the impact of this sound.

Strange clenched his fists so tightly his nails almost dug into his palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks. He tried to keep his voice steady as he repeated:

"Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate with you."

Dormammu let out a piercing, maniacal laugh, filled with sarcasm:
"Conditions? What right do you have to negotiate with me? In my eyes, you are nothing more than a speck of dust that can be crushed at any moment."

As he spoke, a powerful surge of dark energy rushed toward Strange like a raging tide, tearing space apart and revealing bottomless black cracks wherever it went.

Strange reacted quickly, his hands moving rapidly in the air to draw a complex golden rune.

The runes lit up instantly, forming a sturdy shield that withstood the impact of the dark energy.

On the surface of the shield, golden light and dark energy collided and intertwined, emitting bursts of dazzling light and ear-piercing sounds.

Strange gritted his teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but his eyes remained fixed firmly on Dormammu, showing no sign of backing down.

Soon, the shield was shattered by a powerful energy beam, and his body was completely annihilated by the energy beam, leaving not a trace.

However, this was not the end; the time magic that Strange had placed on himself beforehand took effect.

He cleverly linked time magic with the Time Stone, so the time magic on him could not be canceled unless the Time Stone was destroyed.

So he came again and said exactly the same thing as before:
"Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate terms."

Dormammu, as a dimensional demon of the multiverse level, already possessed a certain degree of immunity to time. Upon the first repetition, he detected the anomaly:

"Wait, what just happened? Was it a hallucination?"

Strange had no memory of the previous events, but he learned from Dormammu that this wasn't the first time he'd repeated them, so he laughed:

"No, this is reality!"

"Very well!" Dormammu had no intention of wasting words with Strange and once again used countless dark blades to cruelly kill him.

However, Strange quickly returned and repeated:
"Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate!"

This time, Dormammu had almost mastered time magic, and he questioned:
"how did you do it?"

Strange shrugged:

"Just as you granted Kaecilius the relevant abilities, I also brought some abilities from Earth."

This is time, an infinite loop of time. If you don't agree to my conditions, I will imprison you in this infinite loop of time indefinitely!

"You are so brave!"

Strange was killed again.

However, with the Time Stone in existence, even Dormammu would find it difficult to escape the Time Prison, not to mention that he dared not destroy the Time Stone, which is essentially part of an extremely powerful multiverse deity!

So He could only let Strange repeat himself over and over until He got tired of it.

This time, after Strange offered to negotiate, Dormammu didn't kill him immediately, but instead stated definitively:
"You can't keep looping like this forever!"

Strange shook his head: "No, in fact I can, isn't that what's happening now? You and I are trapped in the same moment in time, in an infinite loop, and you know I don't have any memories of what happened before!"

"Ah, then you'll have to die an endless number of times!"

“Yes, but the people on Earth can survive! I know you are incredibly powerful, but you also know that the Time Stone in my possession has the power to manipulate time. I can use it to constantly interfere with you, ensuring that you can never succeed.” Strange’s eyes were filled with determination.

Enraged, Dormammu killed Strange again.

"Dormammu!"

"Dormammu!"

Dormammu…

……

After countless cycles, even Dormammu, a multiverse dimensional demon, was thoroughly annoyed by Strange. He roared:
"That's enough. What are your conditions?"

Strange knew he had succeeded, and he shouted:
"Take your followers off Earth, stop doing evil in our world, and never come back!"

"If you agree... I'll end the time loop!"

Silence fell once more in the Dark Dimension, as Dormammu seemed to weigh the pros and cons. Strange held his breath, anxiously awaiting Dormammu's reply. Time seemed to freeze at that moment, each second feeling incredibly long.

Finally, Dormammu's voice rang out again: "Alright, I promise you, I will no longer invade Earth."

After saying this, Dormammu's figure gradually disappeared into the dark dimension, and the surrounding dark energy began to slowly dissipate.

Strange let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing.

He closed the Eye of Agamotto and turned to leave the Dark Dimension.

……

"Cheer up, Strange!" Mordo struggled to his feet. "We need to keep fighting. This needs to be settled!"

Because Strange broke the time loop, time rewound to a few seconds before he went to the Dark Dimension.

At this moment, Kaecilius had just broken Strange's time-reversal magic, causing Dormammu to descend to Earth, and he was feeling very proud of himself.

Ignoring Mordo and the King's attempts to attack him, Kaecilius looked up at the sky, gazing at the dark dimension beyond the depths of space, and murmured in rapture:
"It's so beautiful, a world that transcends time, a world that transcends death!"

But at that moment, Kaecilius was stunned. He suddenly realized that Strange, who had just been in front of him, had disappeared. Then he sensed a familiar magical force appearing behind him.

He turned around and saw Strange!
This gave Casillas an extremely ominous premonition. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he questioned:

"What exactly did you do?"

Strange tilted his head back and said easily, "My terms are settled!"

In an instant, Casillas and his followers sensed something was wrong with their bodies.

Dark purple patterns were writhing wildly like earthworms beneath their bodies, rapidly spreading throughout their entire bodies.

Casillas finally showed panic, his body trembling as he examined his crumbling hand, and roared at Strange:
"No, what is this?"

At this point, Casillas was powerless to resist. Strange leisurely walked towards him, shook his head, and said:

"This is exactly what you want, to be a part of Dormammu's life!"

I have to say, you really won't like it!

By this point, Casillas was speechless, and the dark magic within him had completely erupted!

The first to collapse was a young follower. He screamed and fell to his knees, his body convulsing uncontrollably. Dense cracks appeared on his skin, and purple mist seeped out from the cracks, gradually turning his entire body into mist.

Another follower turned to flee, but was caught by a giant tentacle that suddenly extended and wrapped around his ankle, causing his body to rapidly disintegrate.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Strange and the others, Kaecilius's body began to disintegrate, turning into countless purple specks of light that rapidly drifted towards the Dark Dimension.

Meanwhile, Dormammu kept his promise to Strange and gradually withdrew the Dark Dimension that had invaded Earth.

The edge of the dark dimension was the first to change; the boundary, which had been churning like boiling asphalt, began to solidify, turning into countless tiny purple crystals that fell down.

The giant tentacles that stretched out from the depths of the dimension, their surfaces covered with fangs and suckers, gradually withered and were forcibly dragged back into the abyss amidst painful roars, leaving long trails of purple blood.

During this process, Strange reactivated time magic, and the entire world began to grow in reverse. Corrupted buildings regained their vitality, twisted streets were restored to their original state, and the purple veins writhing under the skin of citizens assimilated by dark energy gradually faded away.

The waters of Victoria Harbour ceased their boiling, and the surging black waves transformed into a calm mirror, reflecting the reappearing stars.

Until the last wisp of vortex dissipated in the restored Hong Kong Sanctuary, everything returned to its original state, as if the world-destroying crisis had never happened.

A moment later, Strange and his two companions returned to the floating city. As soon as they appeared, a blood-soaked figure appeared before them, and that person was none other than Harry!
Seeing Harry in such a miserable state, even the King and Mordo, who were prepared, were shocked, let alone Strange, who actually thought Harry was going to fight the dimensional demon Cyttorak.

Strange rushed to Harry's side, looking at his tattered wizard robes and the right half of his body covered in crystalline, deep red patterns with great concern, and said:

"Supreme Sorcerer, what's wrong?"

Wang and Mordo also quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Harry, what happened to you? How did you get such a serious injury?"

Harry first gave Wang and Mordo a look to indicate that he was alright, then a look of pain appeared on his face as he coughed up a mouthful of black phlegm mixed with purple blood and foam, and barely managed to lift his head to say:

"Cytorak is indeed one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse. I pulled Him into a masterless dimension to fight. Although I defeated Him, I was seriously injured."

"My combat strength is now only one-tenth or one-twelfth, and it will take a long time for me to recover and return to my peak strength. Therefore, I'm afraid I can no longer assume the responsibilities of the Sorcerer Supreme..."

"Then what should we do?" Wang and Mordo asked in unison.

Harry thought for a moment and gave the answer he had already thought of:
"Strange, you are the most outstanding among us, so the responsibility of becoming the Sorcerer Supreme is now entrusted to you. The Eye of Agamotto is rightfully yours, so I hereby declare that from this moment forward, you shall become the new Sorcerer Supreme!"

Strange was stunned by Harry's sudden appointment. He had no intention of becoming the Sorcerer Supreme; he wanted to return to the hospital as a doctor after his hand was healed.

After all, becoming the Sorcerer Supreme involves enormous risks. Even powerful figures like the Ancient One and Potter have frequently run into trouble, let alone a novice sorcerer like him who has only been learning magic for a short time.

Just like Dormammu and Kaecilius not long ago, the reason he was able to defeat them was mainly due to the power of the Time Stone. Without the Time Stone and the Eye of Agamotto, he wouldn't even be a match for Kaecilius, let alone the dimensional demon Dormammu!

So he refused without hesitation:
“I think both the King and Mage Mordo are very suitable. They are more powerful than me and are more suitable to serve as the Sorcerer Supreme!”

Harry wasn't surprised by Strange's reaction, but he had already prepared the corresponding lines to shut Strange up:
“Strange, although the King and Mordo are stronger than you, they cannot use time magic skillfully, let alone master the Time Stone.”

The most powerful weapon in Kamar-Taj is the Time Stone; one cannot be the Sorcerer Supreme without mastering the Time Stone.

Therefore, you are the only choice to become the new Sorcerer Supreme. Do you really want to watch Earth be devoured by the dimensional demons?

"In that case, all your relatives and friends will die! They will be tormented endlessly!"
