'As expected, these guys with lots of treasures are really hard to kill!'
Xu Xiao, watching from a distance, saw the spear that was supposed to hit its mark glide past Strange and immediately realized that the opponent had cheated again.
As expected, in the vision of Divine Sense, the other party stood in place, with both hands on his chest, and began to use the power of the gem.
"It's the Time Stone again! This guy is really cheating!"
Xu Xiao shook his head, somewhat helplessly.
He originally planned to use the lightning as cover to instantly kill Strange in one move, preventing him from using the power of the Time Stone.
Unexpectedly, even in a situation where the opponent was not prepared, they were still able to use their treasure to change the course of the battle in a critical moment.
This is also what Xu Xiao hates most; the protagonist's treasures are just as annoying as the protagonist's halo.
"I'll collect all the gems eventually, but I'll let you off the hook this time."
Unable to achieve success with his first attack, Xu Xiao prepared to retreat.
He could see clearly that Doctor Strange had already used the Time Stone, and that his current methods were insufficient to kill him; instead, he was more likely to be entangled by the opponent.
Before he could even contact his cheat system, he saw a ring of flames appear around him.
"Damn attacker!"
With Strange's roar, a magical whip flew out of the portal and lashed out at Xu Xiao.
'smack'
The whip stopped a meter in front of Xu Xiao. Even though there was only air in front of him, he just couldn't bring himself to strike.
After understanding the microscopic level, Xu Xiao has developed a new protective technique – Air Shield.
By manipulating the molecular structure in the air, they can form an invisible and intangible barrier around them, which only becomes physical when attacked.
These high-frequency vibrating air molecules can resist almost all physical attacks; their only drawback is that they constantly deplete Xu Xiao's Telekinesis.
However, Xu Xiao doesn't care anymore. Instead, he uses it as a way to train his Telekinesis, and he even subconsciously activates it when he sleeps.
Strange's sneak attack by opening the portal was completely ineffective.
However, he didn't expect to defeat his opponent with a single magical whip; his real killing move was the magic that his Wand of Watoomb in his left hand was poised to unleash.
"You love playing with lightning, right? Well, I'll let you taste what lightning feels like!!"
" Bolts of Balthakk!"
Crimson lightning shot out from the tip of the wand, heading straight for Xu Xiao.
This was an extremely destructive lightning spell; even Thanos dared not take it head-on and chose to evade it.
Xu Xiao knew Doctor Strange inside and out; his Divine Sense had allowed him to see Doctor Strange holding a wand when the portal opened, so he naturally wouldn't be hit by this non-targeting skill.
With a gust of wind beneath his feet, he unleashed the Carefree Wind Riding technique, instantly shifting his position.
And instead of retreating, he charged towards Doctor Strange inside the portal.
'You, a mere mage, dare to get this close to me? You underestimate my martial arts!'
Unless the spell has been pre-programmed, Strange must manually control the power of the Time Stone each time it is used.
Xu Xiao suddenly charged forward, wanting to see if he could launch a surprise attack and subdue his opponent.
Using the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), Xu Xiao can advance faster than flying over short distances using the Carefree Wind Riding technique).
Strange could only see many afterimages before his eyes, and the next second his magic Cloak spontaneously appeared in front of him to protect him.
"You think you can stop me with just a Cloak?"
An invisible gust of wind emanated from Xu Xiao's palm; this was a spell of Spiritual Power transformation, the Wind Cutter Technique!
The magic Cloak had already been overwhelmed when fighting against Telekinesis before, and now it couldn't even offer any resistance before being torn to shreds.
Before Strange could react, the palm had already slammed into him.
The violent wind was unleashed in an instant, tearing Strange's body to shreds in a flash.
'Success!'
Xu Xiao's face lit up with joy, and he was about to take the treasure from Doctor Strange when he discovered that the doctor's shattered body was beginning to twist and dissipate.
'Wait a minute! This guy's using that trick again, time reshaping!'
Xu Xiao quickly retreated; he didn't want to be trapped by the power of the Time Stone.
However, it was too late. As Strange's body began to contort, everything around Xu Xiao began to fade.
As if stepping into an overturned oil painting, Xu Xiao was also pulled into the time-traveling secret realm constructed by Doctor Strange.
Doctor Strange's figure re-formed not far away. He looked at Xu Xiao, his face still showing lingering fear.
"Luckily, I cast a time-reversal spell on myself before I came, otherwise you would have really killed me."
"Logically, I shouldn't know you, but it's obvious you know me very well. Could you tell me where those children went?"
Marvel's superheroes love to chat before fighting, and gather intelligence along the way.
"Dead."
Xu Xiao didn't say much. After answering, he used his Divine Sense to explore the secret realm of time to see if there was a way to break free.
"As expected." Doctor Strange nodded, then looked at Xu Xiao's calm expression with some curiosity:
"You must be someone who has done a lot of research in the Spirit Realm, right? Why do you have to do bad things?"
Xu Xiao's Divine Sense and Telekinesis are imperceptible to ordinary people, but Strange can sense them.
He could even sense the intense resentment emanating from Xu Xiao, but strangely, the other's Spirit Realm was remarkably pure.
This is rare, since most people who kill too much are affected by the killing intent, which then affects their Spirit Realm, including their soul.
The reason why murder is defined as the most serious evil in many religions is that most people will inevitably fall into depravity after committing murder.
If you have even a sliver of guilt or fear about killing, it will engulf you like darkness.
Killing one person is a crime, killing ten thousand is heroic, and killing one hundred thousand is the greatest of heroes!
No one can take the loss of another's life as a matter of course and do it casually.
"What is good? What is bad? I need to define that, not you can just say it."
Xu Xiao retorted dismissively, then looked at Doctor Strange with an open and honest expression:
"Unlike you lucky ones who are valued by the world, I can only survive and succeed by climbing over the corpses of others."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Let me see if the power of your Time Stone can affect me."
Xu Xiao had no interest in arguing with them because of their differing opinions.
Everyone has their own reasons for doing things; those who have different principles cannot work together, let alone persuade each other.
Now that we've encountered Marvel's Infinity Stones, let's see if this wondrous artifact can prevent us from traveling back in time!
"Very well, then let you spend endless cycles of time repenting for your evil deeds!"
The Time Stone on Strange's chest shone brightly, enveloping Xu Xiao.
However, he was instantly repelled, and a white light shone from Xu Xiao's body.
The opponent possesses a power of rules far greater than that of the Infinity Stones, and the power of the Time Stone cannot interfere with it.
"Goodbye, you won't be so lucky to use it against me next time I come back."
Xu Xiao's body was enveloped by the power of the Heavens World-Crossing Gate and disappeared from the spot.
Doctor Strange was left staring solemnly at the empty Time Rift.
"I have a feeling this guy will cause a lot of trouble in the future."
