Chapter 303 The Dark Stranger Learns the Truth, Another Story of the Dark Stranger...
"Oh, Stephen!"
"Oh~ Christine!"
"Stephen!"
"Christine!"
"history........."
"That's enough, you two!!"
Toby couldn't take it anymore and slammed his hand on the table, interrupting the two who were still going on and on.
This brought the two of them back to reality from the saccharine sweetness of their romance.
After Christine returned, even the gloomy aura of Black Strange disappeared. Apart from the dark circles under his eyes and pale complexion left by long hours of practicing magic, he was basically no different from the normal Doctor Strange.
Black Strange glanced at the slowly closing wormhole behind Christine, then at Toby, who had opened the wormhole and brought Christine back, his expression shifting.
How could someone who is a genius be a fool?
Now that things have come to this, how could he not realize that something was wrong!
After recalling the entire process of Christine being taken away by Dormammu at the rooftop restaurant, Black Strange finally came to a conclusion.
That is...
Black Strange stared at Toby with a grim expression: "Mind, Time, Space—it was you? You, who possess these three Infinity Stones, orchestrated all of this!"
Having chosen to bring Christine back, Toby naturally stopped trying to cover up his lie and openly admitted:
"That's right, it was me. I was the one who tore you apart on your happiest day, and I'm the one who plunged you into the deepest despair."
Black Strange gritted his teeth: "And then you conspired with that old bastard Ancient One to set me up, making me run around in circles?"
Toby is not to be blamed for this:
"You're really wronging me. Gu Yi wanted to join in herself, and even if I did it, it was only because I was entrusted with the task of guiding you onto the path of a mage ahead of time."
Hei Qiyi was taken aback: "Entrusted by someone? Entrusted by whom?"
Before Black Strange could react, Doctor Strange, who had been secretly grieving over seeing himself and Christine finally get together in this universe, suddenly shuddered violently!
and many more!
Something is wrong!
Sure enough, the next moment, Toby pointed at Black Strange: "Of course it's you... the one behind you~"
Upon hearing this, Black Strange turned around abruptly and saw Doctor Strange standing behind him, his eyes wide with astonishment!
Black Strange, who was already extremely annoyed by his cowardly counterpart, became even more furious when he heard that all of this was caused by this guy's commission!
He didn't doubt the truthfulness of Toby's words, because he would verify it himself!
"Christine, wait here for me a moment, I'll be right back!"
Black Strange didn't give the normal Doctor Strange a chance to explain. After saying a few words to Christine, he reached out and shoved Doctor Strange hard!
Click—
Then a magical thing happened...
The normal Doctor Strange was not only pushed backward as if by an invisible hand, but the air behind him shattered like real glass as he crashed into it, and he fell into another strange space composed of rhomboid mirrors!
This, naturally, is one of the advanced spatial magic spells of Kamar-Taj: the Mirror Dimension.
Without pausing, Hei Qiyi flicked his dark red magic cloak and flew inside at lightning speed!
After entering, they politely closed the portal to the mirror space!
What will happen next is unknown to the others in the meeting room...
But they all knew one thing: a normal Doctor Strange is doomed.
Toby himself seemed completely unconcerned about the consequences of his own actions, waving his hand and saying:
"Alright, ignore them and let's continue the meeting."
Upon hearing this, the others also looked worried and sat down to continue the meeting.
Christine, who had just returned from Jotunheim, was a little dazed. She whispered to Toby, who was in the lead:
"Um... Mr. Poison Spider? Are you sure it's alright that they're fighting?"
Upon hearing this, Toby, who had just sat down again, glanced at Christine and smiled.
"Dr. Palmer, we're all on the same side, no need to be so formal, just call me Toby..."
"As for them, don't worry. Your Strange isn't the most corrupted one. At most, he'll beat up the other Strange, nothing serious will happen."
Hearing Toby's words, Christine breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately realized:
"Wait, Poison... Toby, what do you mean by saying my Strange isn't the one who's most severely corrupted?"
Upon hearing this, Toby looked at Christine meaningfully and said slowly:
"Every Strange in every universe falls in love with his Dr. Palmer, but not every universe's two can end up together..."
"On the contrary, the fate of most of you in the universe actually ends in tragedy..."
"The lucky ones, like that Strange who's getting beaten up right now, his Dr. Palmer just married someone else, he just lost you emotionally..."
"And the unlucky Strange, losing you wasn't just a matter of spirit, but a physical loss; that is to say, you will die..."
"And as you said before, your Strange will do anything to save you, and so will the Stranges of other universes!"
"And in some universe, there is a Strange who will stop at nothing to save you from death!"
"For this reason... he entered the cycle of time alone, trying every possible way to save you from certain death in the river of time time and time again. He did not hesitate to fall into darkness, he devoured countless monsters, all to bring back you who were destined to die at an absolute point in time..."
Hearing Toby's words, not only Christine was shocked, but everyone else in the conference room was also shocked.
They never imagined that someone would go to such lengths for the person they love!
Time and again, she journeyed against the tides of time; time and again, she faced the death of her beloved; even as her heart was torn apart time and again, she never considered giving up...
It hurts! It hurts so much!
As the female protagonist of the story, Christine felt deeply for Toby, her eyes already brimming with tears as she looked at him expectantly.
"After going through so much painful torment, did Strange finally manage to save his Dr. Palmer, and did the two eventually end up together?"
The others were the same, all waiting with expectant eyes for Toby to tell the ending of the story, hoping it would be as happy as a fairy tale!
Especially the two Gwens, their eyes were practically sparkling as they stared at Toby!
It's as if it's not Strange saving Dr. Palmer in the story, but Toby saving them!
but..........
Who says fairy tales have to be beautiful?
The true essence of fairy tales is often tragedy...
