Eye Demon's Severed Tentacle

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Dimensional Isolation Grand Array in Kamar-Taj is not complicated; the only thing to pay attention to is the placement of the array base and the array core.

These details are clearly depicted on the ceiling of the secret room.

In the past two days, Strange has explained to Lao Wang the enemy they are about to face and the war.

Of course, some details were omitted, such as the uncertainty of Lin Xu's future and the fact that Christine could save him in this universe.

Even after knowing that the enemy was Dark Strange, Lao Wang's perception of the Strange in this universe not only did not decline, but rather showed a rapid upward trend.

After all, he's also Strange, yet he managed to resist the pull of love!

Lin Xu walked out of the secret room, where Lao Wang and Strange were huddled together eating apples.

"Stephen, do you Christine?"

"I love her so much, I'm willing to give my life for her."

"Tsk, I don't think so. The other guy is willing to destroy the universe for Christine, and you want to stop him?"

Do you really want me to destroy the universe?

"No, I just think you're like a jerk." Despite saying that, Lao Wang's gaze towards Strange grew increasingly admiring.

Lin Xu pursed his lips upon hearing this. "Damn it, if it weren't for me, this universe would have been doomed sooner or later."

Lin, you're out of seclusion!

"Okay, you guys get ready. I'm going to the Avengers to pick someone up. We'll leave immediately; we don't have much time, so the formation must be set up in advance."

"Good!"

Seeing that the two of them had become serious, Lin Xu nodded and said no more, immediately opening the Mystic Portal leading to the Avengers Compound.

He was attacked as soon as he stepped through the portal.

Turning away from the two cushions, Lin Xu saw a room full of resentful eyes.

Well, this time, everyone's here; all the people who should be here are here.

"What's going on, everyone? Why are you giving me such a big gift as soon as I arrive?" Lin Xu picked up the cushion and put it back on the sofa.

"Ahem..." Banner coughed twice, trying hard to suppress the smile on his lips, "Didn't I ask you to treat everyone to soy milk a few days ago?"

"Yes, I haven't invited them yet."

"Pfft... cough cough, but Tony couldn't wait, so while everyone was here today, he took us to your restaurant, pfft..."

As Banner spoke, the resentful expressions on everyone's faces deepened.

Lin Xu secretly gave Banner a thumbs up.

"Ahem, Tony, how's the progress?"

When the conversation got down to business, Tony's expression turned serious. He looked at Captain America, who was still curled up on the sofa, and said, "Come on, Steve, show everyone what you've got?"

Steve sighed, stood up from the sofa, and then took off his trench coat, revealing his gear.

"Pfft... Haha." ×N

Laughter erupted and instantly filled the entire hall.

He was still wearing his signature blue bodysuit, but with many buckles on the outside, and his bones were stuck in those buckles.

Lin Xu circled Steve once. "Tsk, not bad!"

"What's so great about it?" Captain America wondered.

"You look a lot like Rumlow in this outfit. How about you stop calling yourself Captain America and start calling yourself Hydra Captain?"

Captain America remained silent.

"Alright, now that we're fully equipped, let's set off!"

"Okay!" Captain America responded enthusiastically.

The Fixed Timeline, the Cagliostro Library.

Within this sealed time prison, Dark Strange has cultivated for over a hundred years.

Over the course of more than a hundred years, he devoured countless extradimensional beings.

There are even some monsters that originally lurked on Earth, like the chicken-clawed bull-bodied monster frozen beneath Antarctica, and the giant ant Gruto infected by nuclear waste during the Cold War. (Comic book characters, no need to know them in detail)

But he was still not satisfied; his obsession made him eager to see the Eye Demon again.

As the summoning ritual began, the Eye Demon Shuma reappeared in the hall.

"Kid, again..."

Before Shuma could finish speaking, Strange launched the first attack.

The Ikonn's Walk began, and three hundred clones instantly surrounded Shuma. At the same time, each clone had a transparent shield around its neck to mitigate Shuma's mental pollution.

One thousand two hundred "Crimson Bands of Cyttorak" were unleashed from the hands of three hundred clones, heading towards the Eye Demon.

The Eye Demon seemed to laugh in anger at the scene before it, and lost all patience in maintaining its human form.

In an instant, a giant octopus-like one-eyed monster appeared in the arena. With a gentle wave of its tentacles, the three hundred clones and countless ribbons all vanished.

Looking at the only remaining person in the arena, its large eyes emitted a yellow halo, fixing the person in place.

Then, Shuma extended a tentacle, intending to gouge out Strange's eyes; as a demon god, he had to keep his word.

However, the moment His tentacles touched Strange, they immediately withdrew.

He smelled the scent of time!!

But it was too late...

Two giant claws descended from the sky, grabbing the tentacles. Then, two thin lines, one green and one white, representing time and space respectively, emerged from the floor.

With a whoosh~

The tentacle broke off!

"Law..."

The previously imprisoned Strange suddenly transformed into a dark green speck of dust, and the real Strange appeared behind Shuma.

Endless Black Magic surged from Strange's body, but before Shuma could utter a curse, the seal connecting him to the Ancient One suppressed it.

"Ha, even if you transcend time, you still can't see through my past self, which I condensed using time magic."

Strange smiled smugly, then suddenly opened his mouth wide and swallowed the severed tentacle from the ground into his body.

As he absorbed this power, several tentacles resembling those of Eye Demon soon appeared behind him.

At the same time, the characteristics of the Eye Demon's power caused a horizontal eye to grow on his forehead!

"Ahem~ Congratulations, Master Armani..."

Strange turned around and Aoben standing hunched over in the doorway, leaning on his cane.

"Aoben? What's wrong?"

"It's been over a hundred years. Ten years ago, I was already at the end of my life, but I clung to my last breath, just to see if you could succeed..."

"Aoben, don't tell me, I'm coming to save you!"

Aoben shook his head, stopping Strange from channeling dark energy into him.

"Master Armani, everyone must die. I have my own destiny, and you have your own path to walk."

Strange lowered his head to sense it. "But I still feel like I'm missing something; perhaps I need to absorb more."

"No, what you lack isn't energy, it's yourself. Haven't you realized it after all this time? You're not complete."

Am I... incomplete?
