Chen Ji exhaled softly.

He had not forgotten everything he experienced in the Dream World.

However, for the person involved, the experience of the Dream World will fade with time.

At the same moment, Raven slowly woke up.

She was in the room, half-sitting and half-leaning on the bed, her gaze blank and lost in thought.

She couldn't distinguish between a dream and 'reality'; she only remembered Chen Ji's appearance and different fragments of the dream.

Even Pietro was completely bewildered.

Why did I see Chen in my dream...?

Pietro, dressed in the Emperor's New Clothes, his muscles bulging and powerful, scratched his head, changed his clothes, and resumed his surveillance work.

The Leader was alone in the underground laboratory, where the Fountain of Wisdom and mysterious substances were installed, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

Through further research, he discovered that Chen Ji's X-Factor was superior to almost all other genes.

Perhaps...

This is the original version of the X-Factor!

It was through this X-Factor that different variant abilities evolved, giving prehistoric apes the possibility of evolving into gods!

"That's incredible!"

"Once this drink is released, the number of Mutant in this world will likely increase exponentially!"

"So close!"

"My research is about to succeed!"

The Leader conducted experiments in silence.

And this undoubtedly heralds the imminent arrival of 'Jotun Spring'!

On the other side of the laboratory.

Inventor Kang was also self-studying various modern knowledge, including but not limited to modern physics, computer languages, Quantum Entanglement Theory, relativity...

With his wisdom and potential, his knowledge and skills increased almost daily, and he continued to study the Power Stone, intending to unravel its Mystery!

Power Stone.

As a manifestation of the rules of power.

It is itself the essence of the singularity forged in the Big Bang.

It possesses boundless and immense energy!

It can enable Mystic Arts Mage to comprehend the Power Rune, and it can also allow modern scientists to master the legendary Infinity Element.

Isotopes of the Power Stone!

With this Infinity Element, the Arc Reactor can be created, replacing oil energy with a new type of energy and lifting Sokovia out of poverty!

Do other gemstones also have isotopes?

"If we master the Infinity Element, wouldn't we be able to create... an Infinity Element battle armor?"

Chen Ji looked around.

His senses permeated the entire building.

Then, his gaze quickly shifted away, and he already had a plan in mind: he would collect as Infinity Stones as possible, master the Rune the rules, and decipher the Infinity Element!

Infinity Element.

Perhaps this is also the source of Kang's abilities.

After all, Kang was almost always a scientist, and in the Infinite Multiverse, there are all sorts of variations, but the essence remains the same.

Conqueror Kang of the Main Universe-616 can annihilate enemies with a mere wave of his hand; this is a power that conventional technology could not possibly display.

Maybe...

The Ten Rings that the Mandarin found also came from a Kang, and they contain Infinity Element!

"Infinity Element..."

Is it possible to generate entries?

"Entries, Rune, genes, code, programs..."

What connection do they have with each other?

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

Suddenly an inspiration struck, but I couldn't grasp it.

This might involve the true core of the Entry System!

But his strength is far from reaching that level.

Therefore, it is impossible to understand the Mystery of these things!

"Never mind."

"Let's go to Kamar-Taj."

"The concept of the Dream World, as well as knowledge of other dimensions, must be mastered as soon as possible."

Chen Ji could only manage a wry smile.

If he hadn't stumbled into Hela's Dream World by accident, he would probably still be facing the Nightmare's pursuit and would have already fallen into the Lost Realm.

Dream.

It wasn't the building structure he understood.

Only by understanding the truth behind the dream can Wanda be protected.

After all, Nightmare and Hela have their eyes on him. Nightmare has the Dream-Taming Power, and if he kidnaps Wanda in a dream, he'll be in real trouble!

Who can avoid dreaming?

This is inherently a subconscious activity.

Once you enter a dream, you are under the control of the Nightmare. It is entirely possible for the nightmare to lead you step by step into Deep Dream and trap you in the Lost Realm!

Immediately, a Mystic Portal slowly opened.

The antique-style oriental architecture comes into view.

Chen Ji walked through the door.

Returning to Kamar-Taj, a hint of nostalgia and warmth shone in his eyes.

His return caused the Apprentice Mage present to bow in respect, their faces showing admiration.

After all, the story of the Acting Sorcerer Supreme was already well-known in Kamar-Taj!

"List."

"How could you bear to come back?"

Baron Mordo approached, a warm smile on his lips, but his expression was slightly melancholy.

He is both the chief sorcerer of Kamar-Taj and Five Elders of the Mystic Council!

Having tasted the power, he became more humble and looked at Chen Ji with new respect.

Without Chen Ji's encouragement, he would probably have long since become disheartened and completely broken away from Kamar-Taj.

"Willing to give it up?"

"This is my sect."

"Mordo."

Have you found any promising talents recently?

Chen Ji stopped and scanned the area.

It was discovered that the quality of this group of trainee disciples had significantly improved, with most having one or two Green Entry, which also aligned with the field of secret arts cultivation.

At this moment, Chen Ji belatedly realized that Baron Mordo wasn't lacking in judgment of character, but rather had been deliberately stirring up trouble all along!

Now that Mordo understands the importance of power, he has become much stricter in his selection criteria for Protégé.

"List."

"A genius has recently emerged, whose abilities are no less than yours. In order to nurture him, the Ancient One has not gone on any travels."

"They also lent him the Eye of Agamotto."

You'd better watch out.

Baron Mordo lowered his voice and reminded him.

"Genius?"

Could it be...?

Chen Ji's eyes widened in surprise.

No way!

According to the plot, the person the Ancient One is most satisfied with will arrive at Kamar-Taj in 2016, after the Battle of New York!

How come this newcomer has appeared before the Battle of New York even started?

He should be in the library.

"Believe me."

"His magical power has reached the level of Mystic Arts Master, and he has replaced Hamir as one of the five seats!"

Baron Mordo made a blatant insinuation.

Clearly, they wanted to incite Chen Ji's hatred.

To prevent the position of Sorcerer Supreme from falling into the hands of this genius.

The successive blows from the genius had made Baron Mordo realize that he was not cut out to be the Sorcerer Supreme!

Having achieved the prestige and status he has now is enough!

"Library?"

"I was just about to go to the library."

Chen Ji smiled.

He then bid farewell to Baron Mordo and headed towards the library.

Along the way.

He enjoyed the admiring gazes of all the apprentice disciples and Guardian Mage.

Soon, we arrived at a solemn building with bright and clean windows.

This is the Library Hall of Kamar-Taj.

The place where the Book of Arcane Arts is kept.

Chen Ji entered the room, he saw Master Murphyson and a Mystic Arts Master dressed in blue with a horse-like face, leisurely enjoying tea.

Upon seeing the appearance of this Mystic Arts Master, a glint immediately flashed in Chen Ji's eyes.

Stephen Strange!

He actually arrived at Kamar-Taj ahead of schedule?

And his hands don't seem to be injured?

Chen Ji was startled.

Suddenly realizing something, could it be that he had stumbled into... the Dark Supreme Strange?!

In this world, Doctor Strange didn't lose his hands, but he lost the love of his life.

He persuaded Dormammu to leave.

But afterwards, he tried to reverse the death of his beloved Christine!

However.

From the perspective of the current universe, Christine's death is an 'Absolute Time Point'!

What is Absolute Time Point?

It's like the Fulcrum time in the universe.

Without Christine's death, Stephen would not have Kamar-Taj, would not have become the Sorcerer Supreme, and would not have persuaded Dormammu to leave.

If he reverses the absolute timeline, all the aforementioned plot points will become paradoxical, leading to a complete collapse and the total disintegration of the entire universe.

All things... perish!

The collapse originating from the cosmic the Fulcrum level is no less powerful than a two-dimensional foil; it's a genuine dimensional Dimensional Strike!

Everything will decay.

It has completely ceased to exist.

Including Chen Ji from this universe!

Chen Ji's eyes were alert.

He immediately checked Stephen's Entry Panel, and his mood sank to the bottom of Abyss!

[Name]: Stephen Strange

[Identity]: Mystic Arts Master

[Entry]: Extraordinary Wisdom (purple), Elder God Power (red), Doing What Others Can't (red), Deeply Devoted (black).

[Extraordinary Wisdom] (Purple): As Super Genius, he has Total Recall and an extraordinary level of intelligence. After mastering the secrets of the secret techniques, he becomes even more Immeasurable Depths.

[Elder God Power] (Red): Thanks to the teachings of the Ancient One, he obtained many ancient powers through a miraculous means, making him as powerful as a god.

[Doing What Others Can't] (Red): During battle, he is always inspired and skillfully uses his knowledge to turn imagination into moves, creating exquisite secret techniques to easily defeat powerful opponents.

[Deeply Devoted] (Black): The person he loved in this life died in a sudden accident, which made him feel guilty and painful. He tried to reverse everything.

"... Deeply Devoted."

"Trying to reverse all of this?"

"It seems... Mister Fantastic was right after all. The greatest threat to the Multiverse is none other than Stephen Strange!"

Chen Ji was amazed.

Mister Fantastic from Earth-838 once commented on Doctor Strange in this way.

Doctor Strange is seen as the greatest threat to the Multiverse.

Mister Fantastic's assessment is absolutely accurate.

Doctor Strange in 838 caused an Incursion.

Earth-616 Doctor Strange caused a secondary Incursion!

If Mister Fantastic found out about this, he'd probably turn in his grave. Earth-838 is just too pitiful!

But...

Chen Ji's predicament is extremely similar to that of Earth-838!

The Stephen Strange standing before me is clearly the Dark Supreme Strange!

Although the entries differ from Doctor Strange, they will both involve unpredictable and dangerous behavior, being extreme and radical, arrogant and conceited!

So how should he deal with this Dark Supreme Strange?

"List?"

"What a rare guest."

"I'd like to introduce you to a friend named Stephen Strange, a top neurosurgeon from Philadelphia."

"His talent is almost on par with yours. He's only been practicing for about half a month, yet he's already Mystic Arts Master."

Murphyson smiled.

He also introduced Stephen, who was standing next to him, to Chen Ji.

In his mind, Stephen Strange and Chen Ji's arcane talents were roughly equal!

Crucially, Stephen received personal instruction from the Ancient One, which accelerated his growth, and he even replaced Master Hamir in the fifth seat.

This made the entire Kamar-Taj witness the Ancient One's favoritism!

It seems he is the Ancient One has chosen as the next Sorcerer Supreme!

"Hello."

"List."

"I've heard about your deeds for a long time."

"But seeing is believing; you're better than I imagined."

Stephen took the initiative to shake hands, a slight smile appearing on his face.

It seems he's only been learning for half a month.

In fact, he had been secretly practicing Secret Art Magic for many years using the Time Stone.

Besides, he was Super Genius to begin with. With the help of the Ancient One and the Time Stone, being able to rival Chen Ji for a short time was really nothing to be proud of.

"Stronger than you imagined?"

"Do you think I'm weak?"

Chen Ji shook his head secretly.

He's almost dealt with Baron Mordo and Kaecilius, but Stephen Strange isn't so easy to handle!

It seems that every Doctor Strange in every universe is in love with Christine.

If the Ancient One abdicates and Strange obtains the Time Stone, he will inevitably travel back in time to attempt to reverse Absolute Time Point.

It is also possible to gain power that transcends the Time Law by devouring magical creatures!

Perhaps...

Kill him now?

Who will negotiate with Dormammu?

Chen Ji suddenly felt a headache coming on.

How could this happen?!

"Um?"

"List?"

You're back?

"During your absence, I often wondered if you still had feelings for Kamar-Taj."

A refined, teasing female voice rang out.

The Sorcerer Supreme, dressed in a black robe, holding a bamboo fan, and with the Eye of Agamotto hanging from his chest, slowly walked into the library.

The words, tinged with a hint of advice, brought a wry smile to Chen Ji's face.

It seems that the Ancient One had many grievances from the beginning.

Is this current outburst also because of Stephen Strange?

After all, Stephen's arrival is enough to take over the burden of the Ancient One and continue to protect Midgard.

"The Ancient One"

"I will always be a member of Kamar-Taj."

Chen Ji immediately expressed his opinion.

This made Ancient One's expression soften slightly.
