Reverse the Future

"Marvel's Magnetic Field Rotation"

"Wanda Maximoff," Doctor Strange said solemnly to Scarlet Witch, "Do you know the nature of your powers?"

Doctor Strange's unusual seriousness was evident from his address, leaving Wanda somewhat bewildered. "Energy manipulation?"

Unlike her twin brother Quicksilver high-speed movement is matched by his high-speed thinking, Scarlet Witch has never known the true nature of her abilities since awakening them, but she can do many things, such as creating energy shields, controlling objects, and Mind Stone radiation.

"You possess two powers. The first is the probability manipulation granted by the X Gene, which allows you to shape an uncertain future in the direction you desire, creating an anchor to fix things in a definite future and then guiding events towards that path," Doctor Strange explained in his double-speed English. "The second is the power of magic, Chaos Magic. This power was bestowed upon you by the Chthon, at the moment your powers awakened. It manifests as the creation and annihilation of matter. As the source of dark magic, Chthon's power allowed you to master magical abilities comparable to those of an ordinary sorcerer in just a few days."

"Your superpower, combined with Chaos Magic, grants you the ability to create infinite possibilities, from which you can then choose the one that best suits your needs."

"Wait a minute, you mean Wanda can create a scenario where this disaster didn't happen and then overlay it onto our reality?" Iron Man offered his own idea.

Doctor Strange shook his head, made a hand seal, and made the Eye of Agamotto on his chest float between the three of them, saying, "No, dark magic is best at destruction. Compared to creating matter, annihilating matter consumes far less magic power."

"Wanda Maximoff, our only hope lies with you." Doctor Strange then looked at Iron Man and said, "Tony Stark, Iron Man, your help is also indispensable."

Looking at the dark red magic swirling in her hands, the Scarlet Witch asked, "I still don't know what I need, or what I can do, to stop all of this."

"The core of the Eye of Agamotto is the Time Stone, the embodiment of the authority over time in our universe. Through it, I can create a cyclical time, pull things out of the past, and glimpse the past and the future," Doctor Strange said. "Next, I will use it to reverse our time, returning to a certain point in the past. Then Wanda, you will intervene and alter the possibilities, obliterating the possibility of our future and nipping our tragedy in the bud."

Hearing Doctor Strange's almost nonsensical method, Scarlet Witch didn't question its feasibility, but instead began to question herself, "Can I really do what you're saying?"

"You can't do it. Obliterating an established reality requires an immense and terrifying amount of magic, and you don't have that power." Doctor Strange answered Wanda's question very directly, then said to Iron Man, "Mr. Stark. Tony Stark, this requires your sacrifice. Offer your soul as a sacrifice to Chthon so that the sorceress Wanda Maximoff can communicate with him and obtain enough magic to do all this."

"Tony Stark, your existence has a special significance for our universe, and your soul possesses that value!"

Iron Man paused for a moment, then said, "You already knew about this, didn't you? Each of the three of us had to make a sacrifice, which is why only the three of us came here."

Doctor Strange didn't offer Iron Man any answers. Instead, he began forming hand seals, activating the Time Stone's power. "Wanda Maximoff, the Infinity Stones are unique. It's impossible for two identical Infinity Stones to exist at the same point in time. After obliterating the possibility of our future, the power of time correction will erase the Time Stone's existence. Without its protection, those of us who didn't exist will also disappear. Please don't worry..."

The Time Stone's magic coalesced into the outline of a clock, the hour and minute hands began to reverse, and everything started to rapidly rewind. Meanwhile, the Scarlet Witch's dark red magic grew stronger and stronger. Without any deliberate communication, the Chthon, had already noticed them and generously bestowed his power upon Wanda.

Finally, they arrived at the fork in the road of time, a moment leading to infinite possibilities.

"The rest is all yours, Wanda Maximoff."

Doctor Strange lied; he was already completely dead before the Time Stone was erased by the Correction Force.

Magic comes at a price, especially the Infinity Stones, one of the six Infinity Stones. The amount of magic power required to activate it is enormous. Doctor Strange was able to do all this because he made contracts with countless extraterrestrial demons in exchange for a vast amount of magic power.

The method to avoid the destruction of the world was revealed to him by his mentor Master Gu Yi, who returned to him in spirit form beside the Triune Vishanti. She explained that his previous astral projections were to make contracts with as many Dimensional Demon God as possible—the soul of the Sorcerer Supreme was still in high demand.

In an instant, Doctor Strange transformed into a streak of rainbow light and flew towards the outer realm. After his magic was exhausted, the demon gods couldn't wait to collect what they were entitled to under the contract. Everything Doctor Strange had was divided up; his soul and body were torn to shreds, and these fragments were taken into the hands of the Dimensional Demon God.

Scarlet Witch, nearly overwhelmed by the power of Chaos Magic, tried it out. She could indeed manipulate possibilities and change the course of the future, but the required magic power was still far from enough. She looked to Iron Man for help. "Mr. Stark."

Tony Stark's Iron Man suit mask opened, revealing his tear-streaked face, but a smile played on his lips, "I am Iron Man!"

The next moment, Chthon took Iron Man's soul, and in exchange, an almost inexhaustible supply of magic was given to Scarlet Witch, granting her the ability to do anything she wanted.

Shatter, reality!

The immense Chaos Magic was completely consumed to realize Scarlet Witch's idea, and the Time Stone also disappeared on the spot. The world's corrective forces erased it, along with Iron Man's body and Scarlet Witch, who had exhausted all her magic power. They vanished as if they had never existed.

Something happened, yet it seemed like nothing had happened at all.

It was the eve of the new millennium when a massive meteorite streaked across the night sky, its light brighter than the sun, illuminating the night and fueling Eldridge Kilian's desire for revenge as he prepared to jump to his death.

The Master Gu Yi, who was sniping at the extraterrestrial demons spying on Earth, looked towards a certain point in the void, where a great will transmitted a message to her.
