"You're all insane." Strange smacked his lips. Though he had been in this universe for less than a day, his worldview had already suffered several shocks. If he had not seen that everything in this universe was still operating more or less normally, with order still intact, he would not have believed this world had not yet fallen apart.
Even someone like Mephisto, who toyed with people's hearts, could become a partner of Kamar-Taj? And Dormammu, the dark lord who wanted nothing more than to devour this planet, Kamar-Taj's greatest enemy, could actually cooperate and exchange with Kamar-Taj?
Having once faced Dormammu directly, Strange knew very well that an existence of that level would never communicate or negotiate with a creature it viewed as an ant unless you had strength or posed a threat to it. As for making it sit obediently at a table and establish a long-term, stable relationship with humanity through deals and cooperation—that was even more fantastical.
Strange had always thought highly of himself, especially with his teacher Ancient One's assessment: You are the most outstanding among us. But this cross-dimensional escape, along with everything he had seen in this world, had truly awakened him.
The most outstanding?
So those less outstanding than him had become Dimensional Demon Gods one after another, while he, the most outstanding one, was being chased across universes by the Scarlet Witch?
Strange did not know whether the Ancient One of this universe was stronger than Wanda of this universe, but he keenly realized that everything in this universe might be beyond standard for other universes!
For example, himself in this universe?
That Doctor Strange felt far more powerful than him. At the very least, he was powerful enough that the Scarlet Witch could not deal with him easily. That alone
