Chapter 302 Doctor Strange and Black Strange Clash!
As she spoke, Gwen nuzzled Toby's chin with her face like a kitten.
Thankfully, Toby isn't a domineering CEO, otherwise his chiseled handsome face would probably have already scratched Gwen's pretty face by now!
However, Gwen's actions did indeed soothe Toby's slight dissatisfaction.
Toby glanced at everyone, causing the atmosphere in the conference room to freeze for two seconds before slowly speaking:
"Fine, this won't happen again. Remember next time: until another universe truly becomes our 'ally,' our own universe is the most important!"
"So no matter how bad or urgent the situation is in another universe, it's not as important as the safety of our own universe, understand?"
Faced with the lecture from the "parents" who had returned from their business trip, all the "children" who stayed at home nodded obediently, keeping the "patriarch's" words firmly in mind!
Seeing that no one refuted him, Toby's expression softened, and he looked at the two Tonys and two Stranges who had been arguing before he appeared, and said:
"Alright, let's get back to your previous topic. Last night, this unknown monster appeared. Have you figured out its origins, its biological structure, and its specific abilities?"
Young Tony, holding little Morgan, pointed to the holographic projection of the monster on the table and said confidently:
"The old man and I both agree that these creatures are definitely not native to Earth, and their physiological structure is completely different from carbon-based life forms!"
"In terms of structure and capabilities, they should be a new species similar to neutrinos, interacting with physical matter through weak interactions and gravity. That's why they can extract the human consciousness remaining inside zombies!"
"They are a type of microparticle with extremely high penetrability, which is why ordinary scientific defense and attack methods are ineffective against them!"
The older Tony nodded, indicating his approval of his other self's explanation, and then snatched his daughter back from his other self's arms!
If you want a daughter, have one yourself!
This immediately made young Tony's eyes turn resentful.
However, the two Doctors Strange held different opinions from the two Tonys.
First, Strange stepped forward and objected, saying, "No, this is definitely not as simple as Stark makes it out to be!"
"These monsters are imbued with a thick aura of darkness, completely inexplicable by conventional scientific theories. They are definitely a magical life form far more complex than neutrinos!"
Upon hearing this, the half-darkened Strange also stepped forward, a strangely sinister smile on his face:
"Hehe, that's right. These guys even give me a very familiar feeling, like the description of an evil ancient god I read about in the books in the Ancient One's collection!"
"They belong to the darkness, feeding on souls and growing stronger by devouring them. But they are also a great tonic for the soul!"
"So I think we can actually hunt them in reverse, using them to enhance our own soul power, thereby rapidly improving my magical skills and rescuing Christine from Dormammu sooner!"
Hearing Strange's increasingly morbid words, even suggesting he wanted to "eat" the monster, not to mention the others, even Toby couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Holy crap, Strange seems to have gone a bit too far with his dark side!
Upon hearing the last words of the corrupted Strange, the normal Strange, who had been standing beside him, was suddenly startled:
"What? What happened to Christine from your universe? Why was she captured by Dormammu? This has never happened in my universe before, and why didn't you ever tell me this before?"
The corrupted Strange One glanced at the normal Strange One and said with extreme disdain:
"She's my Christine, not yours! You, who lost your own Christine and let her marry a black man, what right do you have to interfere in my Christine's affairs?!"
Upon hearing this, Normal Strange was instantly broken through by Black Strange's precise attack!
His eyes widened, his face instantly turning furious, and two golden rings of Gagarador appeared in his hands as he roared at the corrupted monster:
"Do you think that was my choice? I looked at over fourteen million possible futures, and that was the only future timeline where we could win!"
"If I don't make that choice, Christine will die. I have no choice at all!"
The corrupted Strange was not to be outdone, and two black and red Gagarador Rings appeared on its hands as it continued to taunt the normal Strange:
"Oh? Is that so? Then, our great prophet, will the future of your universe unfold as you predicted, the one and only one out of fourteen million possible scenarios?"
"Don't forget, the reason your entire universe was able to survive and bring back half of the lost life was because of our universe's help. You didn't save anything at all, and because of your foolish choices, you even lost Christine!!!"
Doctor Strange nearly fainted from anger: "You ignorant bastard, you have no idea what I've been through!"
The corrupted version of himself was utterly disappointed in his other self: "You're the cowardly idiot who doesn't understand what I've been through!"
Looking at the people in the conference room who were arguing and even about to fight at the slightest disagreement, Toby rubbed his temples helplessly.
His subordinates' meetings were as 'lively' as ever...
However, as the leader, Toby, while not averse to the members bickering with each other, certainly couldn't let the two Doctors Strange keep arguing like this, or even start fighting.
"Enough!!!"
Therefore, with a shout, he sent out the ten rings from his right hand, splitting them into groups of five, each covering one of the two Doctor Strange doctors under the golden rings.
That golden light was the power of the Mind Stone that Toby poured into the tenth ring.
Under the mental power emanating from the tenth ring, the two Doctor Stranges quickly calmed down and regained their composure.
The Mind Gem can ignite anger in others, and it can also quell that anger.
Toby stood up with a cold face, glanced at the two Doctor Stranges with displeasure, and said in a cold voice:
"Look at the state you're all in! She's just a woman, what's all the fuss about? Here, take her back!"
After saying that, Toby had a thought, and a blue wormhole appeared in front of the two Doctor Stranges.
On the other side of the wormhole was a blue ice palace.
Inside the palace, a woman wearing a down jacket was listlessly counting the frozen grapes on the table.
The two Doctors Strange were very familiar with that woman.
It was Christine, the woman they had been longing for!
The corrupted, strange creature stared at this scene in disbelief, muttering to itself:
"This...how is this possible? Wasn't Christine captured by Dormammu?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, how... how could this be..."
Meanwhile, Christine, on the other side of the wormhole, overheard Doctor Strange's murmurs.
She turned her head sharply, then looked at Strange in the wormhole behind her with a look of surprise and delight.
"OMG! Stephen!!"
Christine, who had been in the icy land of Jotunheim for who knows how long and thought she had been forgotten by the author, rushed out of the wormhole without hesitation after seeing her lover!
But just as Christine was about to throw herself into the arms of the corrupted Strange, she was shocked to discover that there was another Strange next to this Strange!
This left Christine completely bewildered. She looked at the normal Strange on the left, then at the gothic Strange on the right, and for a moment seemed at a loss.
At that very moment, the two Doctors Strange shouted in unison, "Christine!"
Hearing those two identical, familiar voices, Christine, already bewildered, became even more confused and stopped in her tracks.
Upon seeing this, the corrupted Strange being, who had finally managed to see her Christine again, roared angrily at the normal Strange being in dissatisfaction:
"You imposter! I already told you, you have no right to call her by her name. Get out!"
Upon hearing this, Changzhengqiyi's rebellious spirit was instantly aroused. The more you tell me to get lost, the more determined I am not to leave!
Therefore, he deliberately extended his hand to Christine with a gentle expression:
"No, Christine, I'm not an imposter. I am Stephen Strange. We even co-authored a medical textbook with our names on it, remember?"
Hearing the two Stranges talking back and forth, Christine calmed down and carefully examined the two men.
Judging from first impressions and what they each said.
Both in terms of his image and the reasons he gives, the normal Strange is clearly more convincing.
but.........
Christine hesitated for only two seconds before, in the stunned gaze of the normal Strange, she resolutely rushed towards the seemingly evil Strange and threw herself into his arms.
This made the blackened, strange face look somewhat incredulous, and then he hugged Christine even tighter, moved even more:
"Christine, how do you know I'm the real me?"
Christine looked up, gently wiping away the tears from the corner of the darkened Strange's eyes, and said softly:
"Because I know my Strange will do anything to find me, so... you must have suffered a lot because of that, Stephen!"
Upon hearing this, his dark, strange expression resembled that of a pitiful little wolf, and his lips trembled as he said:
"Yes, I really missed you, Christine. You're back! It's so good! You're really back!"
