Strange, though inexperienced, is undeniably talented; he grasped the key points simply by watching the fight between Bai Sui and Kaecilius.
"No, Mordo, while Dormammu's power is being depleted, even more power is invading Earth from the Dark Dimension Dark Dimension. Although this has slowed down the intrusion to some extent, Dormammu will eventually break through." Strange was anxious and was quickly thinking of a solution.
He quickly realized the key to the whole incident— Dormammu. So Strange flew into the boundary between the Dark Dimension and Earth to talk to Dormammu.
" Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate..." Strange was subsequently killed countless times by Dormammu, who then used the power of the Eye of Agamotto to rewind time to when he had just entered the Dark Dimension, beginning an endless torment between the two sides.
Although Strange wasn't a chatterbox, he was simply too annoying for Dormammu, a dimensional being who could retain memories even when time was reversed. Strange annoyed Strange to the point that he had no choice but to abandon the invasion.
If the Ancient One protected Earth from invasion by gods and demons from various dimensions through his own strength, then Strange is like Toad landing on your back—it doesn't bite, but it annoys you. He can easily crush those weaker than him with the Eye of Agamotto, and he can also use the Eye of Agamotto to drive away those stronger than him.
No matter how many times Strange died in the Dark Dimension, it was only a moment to the outside world. Strange had just entered the Dark Dimension when Dormammu agreed to leave, and before leaving, he even took away Kaecilius, who had been transformed into a non-human form by dark forces. What a good god-daemon who cares about the environment and doesn't litter!
However, Bai Sui had managed to take advantage of Kaecilius in the previous battle, secretly collecting some Dark Dimension Power.
Bai Sui wasn't after this power and wanted to strengthen herself by absorbing the power of the Dark Dimension. She was simply curious and wanted to conduct some research to see how this so-called dimensional power differed from ordinary power.
With Dormammu's crisis resolved, Strange continued to use his Eye of Argomot to restore the destroyed Sanctum to its pre-damage state.
Because of the previous battle, Strange knew that Bai Sui was not an enemy, so when using the Time Stone to rewind time, he intentionally avoided Bai Sui and did not use the power of the Time Stone on Bai Sui.
Although Bai Sui has never actually studied the Infinity Stones, he has studied the talismans and the Book of Ages in the world of Bai Sui Jackie Chan.
Leaving aside the fact that the Book of Ages is an all-powerful wish-granting machine, it is entirely a self-condensation of the world's rules, essentially a world remote control created by that world itself, capable only of controlling the changes within that world.
The reason why the Twelve Talismans often give the impression of manipulating the rules is precisely because they are manipulating the rules.
It's not that the Shendu has arrived; the various powers separated from his body have all reached the rule level. This is entirely due to the seals placed on the Eight Immortals demons by the Eight Immortals.
Because the essence of that seal is to use the Book of Ages as a talisman to weave the rules of the entire world into chains, and then bind and protect the eight great demons.
The True Magic that Lo Pei used to extract power from the Shendu Shendu not only separated him from himself, but also stripped away much of the sealing power that was bound to him. That is why some of the Twelve Talismans possessed power at the rule level.
Otherwise, with such immense power, the Shendu would have long since dominated Hell and become the leader of the eight great demons, instead of being bullied by other demons for so many years.
Knowing that the controllers that manifest these world rules would lose their control after being taken out of the world, Bai Sui did not take the Twelve Talismans with him when he left the Jackie Chan Adventures World. This was because once the Twelve Talismans left that world, without the support of the rules, although they still possessed a certain power, their strength might not be as high as the fake talismans that Bai Sui had imitated with Chakra.
The Infinity Stones are the same; in Bai Sui's view, they are Infinity Stones remote controls for the world's rules, and their intrinsic value is not important.
However, it's just that it's not important in itself. For example, the Tesseract created by the Space Stone is a very good energy reserve for Bai Sui. After all, that energy really exists. It is mobilized and condensed by the rules of this world, and it can still exist after being taken out of the world.
So while Bai Sui doesn't need the Infinity Stones, it does need Infinity Stones byproducts. Odin of Asgard also understood this.
Odin once amassed a vast collection of Infinity Stones, even crafting an Infinity Gauntlet to hold them. However, upon discovering the true nature of the stones and recognizing them as a threat and a nuisance, he threw the stones he had collected onto Earth.
Looking at the Bai Sui still floating in the air, Strange stepped forward and greeted him, "Hello, I am Strange, the new Sorcerer Supreme. Thank you for your help just now."
"Hello, new Supreme Mage, my name is Bai Sui. I only came to check on the situation because I discovered a dimensional invasion. You don't need to mind me." Bai Sui was quite the expert at arguing.
The reason for this is that Bai Sui doesn't have a good impression of Strange. Although there are many good things in the Sanctum Sanctorum, Bai Sui doesn't want to obtain them by using connections. After all, there are many good Sickle in this world, and Bai Sui can't possibly get them all. It would be good enough if he could get something.
After watching Strange and Mordo leave, Bai Sui remained where he was, waiting for the S.P.E.A.R.. to contact him.
As expected, the previous explosion at the Sanctum Sanctorum did indeed attract the attention of S.P.E.A.R.. Although Strange used the power of the Eye of Agamotto to turn back time, causing S.P.E.A.R.. to have just spotted suspicious individuals, everything suddenly disappeared from their perspective.
If S.H.I.E.L.D.. were simply a human organization like it is, then this incident would be overlooked. However, S.P.E.A.R.. also has connections to the legendary mythological world of Da Luo Tian.
The Great Luo Heaven is the world inhabited by the Eastern pantheon, just like Asgard, inhabited by the Aesir, both being worlds in another dimension.
These gods once lived above, but after fighting a member of the Celestials, all the gods were forced to leave Earth and go to another dimension to live. However, the locations of those gods were not far from Earth, and each divine realm had a means to easily contact Earth.
Unlike Asgard, which established the Rainbow Bridge for convenient teleportation, the Great Luo Heaven primarily communicates with Earth through various means, such as dreams, divine intervention, and divination, to connect with people on Earth.
Because it was in another dimension, the gods of the Heavenly Court in the Great Luo Heaven sensed the anomaly in Hong Kong and informed the S.P.E.A.R. through a specific channel. After that, they found Bai Sui waiting in the same spot.
Although Bai Sui flew directly in the air, she deliberately used Ki Magic to conceal herself beforehand, so ordinary people could not see Bai Sui and would not feel any fear or panic.
Even among the five members of the S.P.E.A.R. team who came to investigate, only one could see Bai Sui. This person who could see Bai Sui was a special member of the S.P.E.A.R..
Although the entire S.P.E.A.R. has more than 150,000 staff members, only a few thousand of them possess extraordinary powers. Therefore, their daily operations usually involve special personnel and other ordinary team members going on missions together.
After discovering Bai Sui, the team immediately reported the situation and requested instructions from their superiors regarding the next course of action.
Because of the information obtained from Da Luo Tian, the entire S.P.E.A.R. took this matter very seriously, and this request for instructions has now gone directly to Zheng Xian, the director of the S.P.E.A.R..
After understanding the situation on the scene, Zheng Xian immediately ordered the frontline team members not to take any action. He then contacted the director of the mission service office and asked him to personally lead a team to the scene to negotiate.
Zheng Xian did this so that he would have some decision-making power during on-site conversations and interactions, and understand the appropriate boundaries to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
It must be said that the technology possessed by the S.P.E.A.R. is indeed advanced. They have already mastered the technology of small-scale personnel teleportation. Although the energy consumed to activate the teleportation is extremely large, thus limiting the number of people that can be teleported at one time, it is still very effective in handling some emergency situations.
For example, right now, Chi Wenfu, the director of the mission service office, went to the Hong Kong branch with Jun Sabre from the Fengshen Squad. They mobilized some of the branch's personnel to temporarily seal off the area near Bai Sui. After confirming that it would not affect civilians, they took the initiative to contact Bai Sui.
" Chi Wenfu, People's Strategic Law Enforcement Vigilance Corps." Under the protection of extraordinary individuals around him, the director of the mission service office was the first to identify himself to Bai Sui.
Bai Sui already knew about it when they were clearing the crowd and implementing area control, but to avoid misunderstandings, Bai Sui didn't try to make direct contact then. Now was the perfect time. "Hello, I am Cloud God Bai Sui, and I'm here waiting for you."
The reason for bringing out this cloud god was that Bai Sui wanted to spread the faith and make it easier for him to collect incense and condense divine power.
Although Chi Wenfu was personally leading the team on site, Director Zheng Xian was also monitoring the situation in real time through various devices.
After Bai Sui removed the Ki Magic that had been covering her body, she was now directly exposed to various devices. This proactive revelation allowed S.H.I.E.L.D.. to feel Bai Sui's goodwill.
Upon hearing Bai Sui claim to be the Cloud God, Zheng Xian immediately sent someone to contact the Great Luo Heaven to see if they knew of this deity.
The reply came quickly, stating that they did not have such a deity in their Heavenly Court. They only had one cloud god, namely Lord of the Clouds, also known as Fenglong. Moreover, this deity was not only a cloud god, but also a thunder god and a rain god.
Zheng Xian immediately informed Chi Wenfu, who was present, through an earpiece, but Bai Sui simultaneously received all of this through his divine sense.
Bai Sui's plan was simple: to speak frankly. After all, he wouldn't be staying in one world forever, and it was better to treat each other sincerely when there was no major conflict of interest.
"Yes, I am not the cloud god of this world. I am also from the Eastern pantheon, but not yours. I think you should already know that this world has more than one dimension, and there are other dimensions such as Asgard and Takamagahara." After seeing Chi Wenfu nod to indicate that he understood, Bai Sui continued.
"Then I wonder if you are aware of other universes beyond this one," Bai Sui said with a smile, looking at the crowd before him. "Just as there are other dimensions beyond Earth's dimension, there are other universes beyond this one."
Seeing that Bai Sui seemed inclined to discuss the issue at length, Chi Wenfu and Zheng Xian, who was behind him, immediately realized that the scene was not a suitable place for conversation. After all, there were some things that not everyone in the S.P.E.A.R. could know.
Chi Wenfu immediately suggested to Bai Sui that they all go to the headquarters of the S.P.E.A.R. to have a detailed discussion there.
Bai Sui already had this intention, so naturally she wouldn't refuse now. "Okay, but I don't know where the headquarters is yet, how do we get there?"
Chi Wenfu was very proud of his base. "Our headquarters is in the sky, and ordinary methods are not feasible to reach it. We first go to the Hong Kong branch, and then transfer there."
Upon hearing this, Bai Sui immediately extended his divine sense upwards, directly covering the entire sky of the country, and quickly located a circular aerial fortress. "Your fortress is really unique in appearance. It's circular in shape, with six sentence-shaped engines on the outer perimeter that provide downward thrust. That must consume a lot of fuel, right?"
"Director, we just sensed a slight energy fluctuation that swept across our base..." Zheng Xian listened to his subordinate's report, his expression turning serious, and he began to look forward to his upcoming meeting with Bai Sui.
After receiving instructions from the director, Chi Wenfu accompanied Bai Sui on a quick journey to the S.P.E.A.R.'s base, and enthusiastically explained many things that Bai Sui was interested in.
"... I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about technology. To be honest, this is really beyond my expectations." Chi Wenfu complimented Bai Sui, half-jokingly.
