Feeling the charm of technology between life and death, Strange seems to have opened the door to a new world.

He hasn't seen the magic yet, but he has been suffering for a while; the technology is good, and he can enjoy it.

After experiencing the battle just now, Strange couldn't wait to follow the requirements of "Scalpel" and applied to his superior Chen Changsheng for combat power improvement.

Well, no one in the magic world understands the power of technology better than Strange.

Of course, he did not give up magic. From the moment he cast the first magic between life and death, Strange learned magic as if he had a mastery.

While the Ancient One was still busy hunting down Kaecilius, Strange, who had no one to teach him, had already begun his self-taught cheating life.

At the same time, all the applications submitted by Umbrella Corporation to Strange were approved, and the "scalpel" was continuously strengthened.

This was specially requested by Strange. The reason is that the mage is a humanoid turret. Although his magic power is amazing, his body is extremely fragile. The company needs to provide some high-tech armor to ensure the life safety of the undercover personnel...

In short, Doctor Strange's style of painting is going astray, and a strange polymer Doctor Strange wearing a technological battle armor and holding a magic array in his hand is appearing in this world.

When Dark Apostle invaded Kamar-Taj, Chen Changsheng saw it through the scalpel's camera, but later the Ancient One used Mirror Dimension to sweep the entire battle, causing the signal to be interrupted. Of course, he still saw the final result of the incident afterwards.

To be honest, the mage duel is really unscientific. The big scene of skyscrapers shifting with a wave of hands, and the sun and moon changing space after moving really opened Chen Changsheng's eyes.

You must know that the physical rules of Mirror Dimension are no different from reality, which means that even if Chen Changsheng falls into Mirror Dimension, he has no better way to deal with unknown challenges.

This is also the reason why Chen Changsheng will continue to upgrade his scalpel. He is trying to use technology to fight magic in order to gain an advantage in future battles.

In fact, Chen Changsheng has gained a lot in the study of space. Although Mirror Dimension opened up a space in other dimensions, it is still essentially in the same world; and there are some unknown connections between spaces in different dimensions.

Mages can use the teleportation array magic to leave Mirror Dimension, which means that the spaceship's jump function can also jump out, and similarly, the racial talents of the Zerg are also feasible.

With the help of the deformable nature of the scalpel, Chen Changsheng tried to anchor the position of Mirror Dimension with a spatial anchor point, but failed; Mirror Dimension seemed to be between virtual and real, and the coordinates kept changing, never being fixed at all.

However, spending so much energy Chen Changsheng is not completely fruitless, because even in Mirror Dimension, the scalpel can clearly locate the coordinates of the real universe.

In other words, at least Chen Changsheng cannot be trapped by magic in Mirror Dimension in the future.

Originally, Chen Changsheng thought that the battle between the temple and Dark Apostle would not affect him. After all, he was in New York, which was too far away from Kamar-Taj in the Himalayas.

But until one day Chen Changsheng saw several people wearing mage robes running past the wall of the Umbrella Corporation headquarters building, he knew that what was supposed to come would always come.

Seeing the Ancient One, Chen Changsheng knew for the first time the fighting power of Sorcerer Supreme. The space folded and flowed between the hands of the hands, the building twisted and deformed, and the power of Mirror Dimension swallowed everything...

Facing the rolling Mirror Dimension, Chen Changsheng was not too surprised. After all, he had anticipated the arrival of this day many times.

It stands to reason that with the Ancient One's control over magic, ordinary people will not be affected by Mirror Dimension. After all, the grudges of mages are never revealed to others.

However, although Chen Changsheng still didn't dare to jump in front of the Ancient One, he dared to do it from a distance.

After activating the space reinforcer in his office, a huge wave of energy surged from the desk in front of Chen Changsheng.

Several miniature Nuclear Fusion furnaces modified by Pym Particles on the table were trembling. It was obvious that the violent space fluctuations outside had caused huge interference to the stable operation of the space stabilizer.

However, as the key to mankind's future, it is obvious that Nuclear Fusion Reactor can still withstand the pressure. With the supply of huge energy, the space stabilizer in Chen Changsheng's office deployed some kind of force field to successfully trap the office located on the roof of Umbrella Tower's building between Mirror Dimension and reality.

Technology and magic are carriages traveling on two roads. There is no good or bad between them, only advantages and disadvantages for oneself.

Chen Changsheng's sudden intrusion made the Ancient One feel a little surprised; in the past, the Ancient One wouldn't care even if he found some minor changes when snooping through the long river of time. But this was the first time he discovered a person like Chen Changsheng, an individual who could not see the future.

With just one glance, the Ancient One had already flashed countless images of the future in his mind, but in the future he saw, there was no time when the figure of the person in front of him existed, as if the person in front of him would disappear in the river of time in the next moment.

The Ancient One hasn't peeked into the future for a while, because just recently, he found that the future he peeked into has no reference significance.

Just like two people have completely different lives, no matter how hard the Ancient One tries to change, they will not become the same person.

In the past, the Ancient One could still choose an optimal path in the future, but now the Ancient One finds that no matter what he chooses, the actual development will always be different from what he expected.

The first time Chen Changsheng appeared, the Ancient One frowned deeply and unconsciously activated Eye of Agamotto, trying to see the past and future of Chen Changsheng.

However, the green light flashed past its chest, but he did not see any meaningful fragments of the future, as if the person in front of him was just a flash in the pan, appearing and disappearing suddenly.

It seems that the appearance of this person will not have any impact on the development of time, but this is the biggest abnormality. Because as long as people appear in the timeline, they will affect future development.

Chen Changsheng also noticed the green light Time Stone lit up on the Ancient One's chest, but he, who had never really seen Time Stone's power, never imagined that in just a short moment, the Ancient One had already traveled through the timeline.

Of course, even if Chen Changsheng knew it, there would be nothing he could do. After all, "time" is not currently within the scope of Chen Changsheng's research. But this is also in Chen Changsheng's plan. Chen Changsheng doesn't want anyone to travel back to before he was born.

And peeking into the future like the Ancient One doesn't mean much to Chen Changsheng. After all, things that haven't happened yet are meaningless to me. It doesn't matter how you peek into the future; as long as I can truly grasp the present and be invincible in the present, then the future will be invincible.

He now controls Mind Stone, but Chen Changsheng doesn't think the Ancient One can find a way to keep him.
