NOVEL WEB Chapter 97: Chapter 97
Stephen Strange had no other choice. Tony was the most restrained one. Besides them, there was absolutely no one else he could talk to!
Steve, over there, was already hugging Black Panther, Falcon, and his good friend Bucky. The passion among the four of them was already awkward enough; if he stepped in, things would become even more complicated!
The Galaxy Dance Troupe had already started squabbling because our producer Star-Lord wanted to touch Gamora's face. Then he was immediately knocked down with two knee strikes, kneeling on the ground with a pale face and wailing. Everyone watched the show, Rocket holding Groot tightly. Nebula 2023 comforted Gamora 2015, "Sister, you chose your boyfriend yourself. Besides him, your only choices were a tree or a biting raccoon!"
Fat Thor was surrounded by his people, because in their eyes, their God-King must have defeated the two Thanos, making his martial arts the best in the world! What they didn't know was that Thor was restricted by his armor, fighting throughout the battle yet achieving nothing. The skilled martial artist Thor blushed for the first time in a long while, and his armor made it hard to breathe. He passed out with a sudden thud, and was currently being resuscitated! Of course, this fainting act had a significant component of acting; anyone who wasn't an idiot could see it!
Stephen Strange looked around him, then glanced at the new Sorcerer Supreme, Fat Wang, who knew nothing. He could only go and ask the relatively rational Tony, after all, the Avengers he was most familiar with were this father-and-son pair.
Tony released Peter, then looked at Stephen Strange with a satisfied expression. "One in fourteen million possibilities, but we still succeeded!"
"I know you succeeded, but this isn't the future I saw!"
"I know, I know."
Tony waved his hand, cutting off Stephen Strange, and began to mock him. Stephen Strange didn't want to leak it, but many people did. As an important figure in science, he simply looked down on mystical people like Stephen Strange. He preferred wizards like Kurohane, who understood quantum mechanics and the Multiverse!
Although if he had to choose again, he would still bring a nuclear bomb to the portal, and would still take that snap after acquiring six Infinity Stones, but that wasn't Tony Stark's character. His character was sharp-tongued, boastful, showy, and laid-back. As for that honest and noble character, that was Captain America's character!
"Didn't I just use the Infinity Gauntlet to unleash that snap in the end, obliterating Thanos's army, and trading my own life for the victory of this war!"
"But now, I didn't snap my fingers, and I still defeated two Thanos!"
"Who told you that?"
Stephen Strange was greatly shaken. He was truly curious who his subordinate was, who managed to create a future he hadn't predicted among fourteen million possibilities!
"That would be me."
A left hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet rested on Stephen Strange's shoulder. Two Infinity Stones on the gauntlet glittered. Stephen Strange turned to look. Kurohane's bright smile appeared before his eyes.
"My name is Kurohane, from Kamar-Taj in another world, a disciple of the Ancient One, a Sorcerer."
"Nice to meet you, best Sorcerer Supreme there ever was!"
Stephen Strange: (feeling a shiver, as if targeted by a beast).
After showing off his Infinity Gauntlet, Kurohane also exposed his chest to Stephen Strange. The Eye of Agamotto emitted a faint green light. He squeezed his shoulder strongly with his left hand. Kurohane felt Stephen Strange tremble slightly and showed a nuclear-powered smile.
"I heard you voluntarily gave the Time Stone to Thanos?"
Gulp!
Stephen Strange swallowed hard and nodded stiffly.
Peter Parker's Spider-Sense blared loudly, then he pulled his godfather and ran. In his opinion, Kurohane was even more terrifying than Thanos right now!!!
Kurohane swept Stephen Strange's leg, using the Space Stone to fix the space around him. Telepathy, carrying the power of the Mind Stone, directly attacked Stephen Strange's spiritual world! He was controlled in both physical and psychological dimensions. Then, Kurohane held his thigh with his left hand, imitating what Hulk did to Loki, and what Thor did!
While slamming Stephen Strange, Kurohane also cursed. "Let you break your oath! Don't let you protect the Time Stone well!"
"Let you slack off! Let you act mysterious! Let you make your own decisions..."
Kurohane was truly angry, not just because Stephen Strange refused to reveal secrets. As a Sorcerer Supreme, he directly violated his oath, with the purpose of slacking off for five years and then ditching the position of Sorcerer Supreme! This way of thinking was exactly the same as the Ancient One, the Sorceress; no wonder the Ancient One liked this disciple so much. After all, Stephen Strange not only learned magic from her but also the secret art of cunning and laziness that wasn't passed down!
Kurohane's sudden violent actions stunned all the Avengers. Some who didn't know the truth were ready to help, but after hearing that it was Kurohane who defeated the two Thanos, and single-handedly dismantled two Sanctuary IIs, they all declared this an internal matter of Kamar-Taj. A Kamar-Taj sorcerer from another timeline was disciplining his junior. This was entirely reasonable!
Even the current Sorcerer Supreme, Fat Wang, pretended not to see. Stephen Strange had energies from various dimensions within him. But Kurohane had only pure Holy Energy within him, so dense that it was more terrifying than any wizard he had ever seen. At one point, it made him think that Kurohane was a direct son of the Vishanti Triad who had descended! This made it even more plausible. The Vishanti were disciplining their unaccomplished disciples and grandchildren; why should he interfere!
Moreover, Kurohane's act of throwing people around looked cruel, but Stephen Strange's wails were full of vigor. The Avengers thought this was just a normal educational activity, otherwise, a wizard would have been thrown to death long ago. But what they didn't know was that while smashing him, Kurohane was also using Holy Energy to heal him. This was like a whip dipped in iodine, disinfecting while striking!
It wasn't just the late Avengers who were now witnessing Kurohane beating someone up; Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, was also late. Tony had just contacted her when he lost contact, and she had already vaguely felt something was wrong. She stopped what she was doing and flew towards Earth. Perhaps due to frequent cosmic traffic jams, she was still a step late. Even before reaching Earth, she felt massive energy fluctuations spreading throughout the Universe. Someone must have taken a snap with the Infinity Stones!
Then she flew to Earth and saw someone wearing an Infinity Gauntlet violently beating an Avenger. The surrounding Avengers hesitated, not daring to step forward to help!
Damn it! Take this headbutt!
Clang!
Carol transformed into a meteor and plunged into the battlefield, slamming into Kurohane's chest!
