At night, a physically and mentally exhausted Stephen returned home.

Having not had a proper rest for several days, he finally relaxed his tense mind this time.

"Since rejection causes you so much pain, why not try to accept it?"

Without even taking a shower, Doctor Strange took off his clothes and lay down on the soft, comfortable bed.

As Stephen's eyes were almost closed and he was about to fall asleep, he kept replaying the words his psychiatrist had said in his mind.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe it was just a moment.

Stephen's consciousness gradually drifted into a deep sleep.

The next moment, his consciousness was pulled into a special bar.

"Welcome back, Dr. Stephen Strange."

Stephen, sitting at the bar counter, had no time to realize the situation he was in.

A voice suddenly appeared behind him.

Beer? Whiskey? Or tea?

"Fine, you can choose for yourself."

Snapped!

With a crisp snap of his fingers, three different cups instantly appeared on the counter in front of Stephen.

"So? Have you decided what choice you're going to make, Strange... Doctor! Of course, I'm not referring to the drinks."

Stephen was in no mood for drinking at that moment. He turned his head abruptly and saw a face just like his own.

However, the two were dressed differently at the moment.

Stephen was dressed in an expensive suit and wore an expensive watch on his wrist.

The other Stephen, who suddenly appeared, was dressed in a dark robe, with a striking red cape behind him.

"No, I don't want to be a hero who saves the universe. I just want to be a learned doctor and save more patients."

Even though he was mentally prepared, at this moment, Stephen was completely unable to accept this absurd and crazy thing as his psychologist had suggested.

"Since you still refuse, then I regret to inform you that you will once again experience the pain of falling into the abyss."

"But I have no other way. Only in this way can you leave here and return to your universe."

Accompanied by another regretful voice from Stephen, Stephen found himself instantly at the doorway.

Before me lay nothingness, and beneath my feet lay a bottomless, pitch-black abyss.

He was intimately familiar with this scenario, having experienced it dozens of times before.

But each time, he endured incredibly intense pain.

In fact, each time was even more painful than the last.

"If I could, I'd like to finish that drink first..."

……

boom!

With a familiar, tremendous force coming from behind, his body was suddenly thrown out of the peculiar bar and plummeted rapidly into the abyss below.

"No! Ah..."

"Sigh, yet another one rejects me."

"I wonder if the next one will arrive in a few hours? Or a few days..."

The other Stephen, who pushed Stephen into the abyss, seemed to have long been used to such things.

He slowly walked to the counter, picked up the teacup from the three cups on the table, and slowly brought it to his lips.

"No, I agree!"

The next moment, a voice entered his ears through the door that was not yet closed.

"Great!"

Instantly, a near-maniacal smile appeared on his face.

Even above their eyes, between their eyebrows, a strangely eerie eye suddenly appeared.

The next moment, his hands quickly made a strange gesture.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of black energy transformed into a black chain, instantly piercing through the door and into the endless abyss.

"what!"

A series of mournful cries came from afar.

Stephen, who had already fallen into the abyss, was pulled back into the bar by chains.

"I just heard you say the word 'agree'? You're not lying to me, are you!"

At this moment, the other Stephen had returned to normal, and the other eye that had just appeared between his eyebrows had disappeared without him noticing, as if it had all been an illusion.

"Cough cough... I didn't... lie to you, I... accept you!"

The intense feeling of weightlessness made Stephen feel uncomfortable for a moment. After a while, he finally made up his mind and said he accepted it.

"In that case, things might be getting a little crazy!"

The moment Stephen said he agreed, the other Stephen in front of him suddenly burst into ecstasy.

His robes and cloak billowed in an instant, even without wind.

Can I... still back out?

This situation made Stephen realize that he might have made a wrong decision.

"Sorry, once sold, returns are not accepted..."

The next moment, the other Stephen in front of him suddenly turned into a thick black fog.

Caught off guard, the black mist instantly enveloped Stephen.

The black mist rapidly seeped into his body through various orifices.

At that moment, Stephen completely lost consciousness and his body suddenly collapsed to the ground.

But just a few seconds later, his body suddenly stood up straight from the ground.

"This feeling is something I haven't felt in a long time..."

The newly formed Stephen slowly raised his strong and incredibly steady hands, clenching and unclenching them repeatedly.

"But now, it's time for me to become the hero who saves our universe!"

Suddenly, the immense energy caused the entire bar, which was floating in the void, to collapse instantly.

And then this particular bar completely collapsed.

Stephen, who was fast asleep, suddenly sat up in his luxurious bed.

"call……"

He took several rapid breaths, as if suddenly waking from a nightmare.

He then slowly got out of bed, skillfully picked up a bottle of expensive red wine from the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass, and walked to the huge French windows, looking out at the bustling city in front of him.

"Unfortunately, this universe is mine now!"

Stephen slowly finished his glass of red wine, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and the next moment, a strange third eye suddenly appeared on his forehead.

……

Several days later, a colorful beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

Along with the colorful beam of light, a human figure also appeared.

"Wow? Who's that? Are aliens about to invade Earth?"

Some people stared at the scene above the city, their faces filled with shock.

"Ha, you just moved here from a small town, haven't you? Never even seen an alien? What's all the fuss about!"

Nearby, a long-time resident of New York City seemed unfazed by such things, his expression radiating an air of superiority born of extensive knowledge.

Sa!

Soon, another figure streaked across the sky, arriving in front of the first figure almost instantly.

"You bastard? What are you doing here again? Are you here to avenge your father?"

Peter stared at Thor in front of him, somewhat helpless. It seemed that this time, he had to make him experience real death.

"Excuse me, Mr. Superman, I've come to Earth this time because I need your help with something!"

However, the next moment, Saul pleaded with Peter with a sincere expression.

"Hey, is the sun rising in the west today? You reckless fellow, you actually have a moment to swallow your pride and beg for help?"

At this moment, Peter couldn't help but be very curious that Saul, this reckless fellow, would ever have a day when he needed someone's help.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Superman, I realize that my previous behavior was very reckless."

"In fact, the Midgards, like us Asgardians, are very peace-loving."

"It's just a pity that I only realized these things not long ago."

Thor looked apologetic.

"Don't apologize yet. What you're asking me for now isn't to help you deal with your sister, is it?"

At that moment, Peter suddenly remembered Thor's sister, who was about to break the seal.

"You know her too?"

At this moment, Thor couldn't help but look at Peter with some surprise. As Odin's biological son, he only learned that he had a sister after his father's death. How did this human know?

"Just say it, right?"

"No, Mr. Superman, I'm not asking you to help me defeat my sister."

"I only hope that you will allow us Asgardians to move to Midgard and rebuild our new home here."
