"Is he stable? Why do I feel like he's about to die?"
Rocket Raccoon stared at the picture projected on the screen. Strange fell to his knees, supporting his body with his hands, with a painful expression on his face.
The ferocious insects surging in seemed to be stimulated.
Abandoning the bright Magic Furnace, he instead went crazy trying to squeeze into his brain.
Thought Maggots is not an entity, but a creature unique to Dream Dimension.
They flocked to the soul of Strange.
He intends to eat up the other party's active thinking and melt his firm will.
Any mage faces such a dangerous situation.
I'm afraid there is no other option but to admit defeat and leave the field.
After all, surrender can save a small life.
If you continue to hold on, your entire soul may be eaten by Thought Maggots.
"What are you worried about? Strange is an idiot now."
Luke shrugged and said easily.
Rocket Raccoon was startled for a moment, then reacted after a moment.
Strange is using himself as bait to attract Thought Maggots.
He had long cast the Cyttorak spell on himself to close his brain.
The swarms of insects couldn't eat anything, but were trapped in the human mage's head.
"I didn't see it, but this moustache mage is quite capable. But what should he do next?"
Rocket Raccoon lamented the courage of Strange. There were so many disgusting bugs crowded in the brain, chirping and screaming. Others might not be able to bear it.
What's more, it's a dangerous creature like Thought Maggots.
If you are not careful, the possibility of the car overturning is extremely high.
"For a former neurosurgeon, it was just a sideshow."
Luke leaned back on his seat. He was ready to appear, but he didn't expect the other party to come up with a strange move.
"They are ruthless people who can cut open a patient's head and perform surgery while discussing what to eat at night and what kind of music they like to listen to."
Rocket Raccoon scratched his head. He didn't know much about the profession of a doctor.
Spaceship pilot, Space Pirates, plunderer, prison escapee... these are the professional fields that he is good at.
"Little Rabbit, do you know there is a joke on Earth? It is said that someone's computer has a virus, and then he plans to starve the virus to death by shutting down for a long time."
Luke retracted his gaze from the screen and answered Rocket Raccoon's previous question.
If he guessed correctly, Strange probably planned to use this ridiculous-sounding method to solve the problem of Thought Maggots in his mind.
In fact, this is indeed possible.
Because those disgusting bugs only eat active thoughts.
It has no interest in nerve cells, brain and spinal cord, and cannot harm corresponding organs and tissues.
And without food for a long time, they will soon starve to death.
It turns into a puff of smoke and merges into the soul.
Dream Dimension's creatures are mostly like this.
"Is there still such an operation?"
Rocket Raccoon's eyes widened, indicating that strange knowledge had increased.
It turned its attention back to the big screen and found that Strange's face had many eyeball-like spots, which looked extremely scary.
"What's going on?"
Rocket Raccoon was startled, and all the hair on his body stood up.
Strange is so honorable that he can play a guest role as a villain in a horror movie without makeup.
The painful face was covered with eyeballs, and it seemed to be screaming in anger, trying to break free.
"Don't make a fuss. This is the sequelae caused by Thought Maggots corroding the soul. It will be cured in a few days."
As the fastest graduating high-level mage in the history of Kamar-Taj, Luke has a little knowledge of magic and can tell the situation Strange is in at a glance.
"Compared with this, Stephen should be more troubled by the heavy cost of overcasting."
Those insects bite desperately, trying to escape from the human soul that has become a prison.
But Strange remained indifferent, digesting them while emitting a more dazzling light.
Those remaining Thought Maggots adhere to the soul and turn into horrific sores.
But that wasn't the worst part. Once he returned to his physical body, the bills that needed to be paid became a headache.
In addition to Vishanti who signed the contract, Strange also summoned Phalatar, a demon who controls water vapor, shaped like a gray snake covered in scales.
Exalon - A demon that symbolizes blockage and often appears as an ice giant.
There is also Mystic Arts Master from Kamar-Taj, and Crimson Sovereign Cyttorak from time to time.
Considering that most of them are white magic, it shouldn't be a big problem.
At most, it is gastric ulcer, gastric perforation, neurological tinnitus, long-term insomnia and other diseases, which are not life-threatening.
"Fortunately, I believe in science. Being a mage is too miserable."
Rocket Raccoon couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw the miserable situation of Strange, and continued to start the forum.
"That's why so many people want to be Sorcerer Supreme."
Luke spread his hands.
"Those Dimensional Demon God are like different banks, with different loan interest rates, repayment time, and collection methods."
"Low-level, mid-level, and high-level mages, they are the lowest level of exploitation, because they have no choice but to pay the price with their lives, limbs, and souls."
"After becoming a legendary mage, you have certain bargaining power. You can sign a contract with more suitable and relaxed conditions with Dimensional Demon God."
"For example, becoming a spokesperson, developing downlines, attracting more people, etc. - it may sound like some kind of large-scale illegal sales activity, but that's essentially it, there is no difference."
"However, reaching the level of a legendary mage does not mean that you can sit back and relax and spend as much as you want."
"They will still be at risk of being fired, or being cut off."
"Furthermore, because the contract is too deep, once he faces bankruptcy, the legendary mage's body, soul, and all assets will be taken away by the bank Dimensional Demon God."
"After all, in their eyes, legendary mages will always appear in groups over decades or centuries. At most, they are regarded as high-quality customers rather than rare resources."
"After all, only by becoming Sorcerer Supreme, receiving the protection of Vishanti, and assuming corresponding responsibilities can we transform ourselves into the father of various banks."
"For example, the Ancient One, he has accumulated so many loan bills for Dimensional Demon God, and the interest has long been like a snowball, making it difficult to count."
"But he lives a very prosperous life. Because his background is hard enough and he is supported by three Elder Godss: Hoggoth, Oshtur and Agamotto."
"Banks can only continue to lend money while tearfully cutting other people's leeks - because in the face of Sorcerer Supreme, violent collection and enforcement are useless."
Rocket Raccoon seemed to understand. Looking at the mages in No Doors Bar, he just felt that they were all like green leeks.
"There are three hours left. Strange should have passed the test."
According to Luke's judgment, the other party was attracting Thought Maggots while squeezing out the potential in his body. There would be no problem if he could hold on for another three hours.
On Loki's side, Thor, who was driven by love and full of fighting spirit, transformed into Asgard's number one macho man, as if he had taken a powerful pill, and wiped out the insect swarm with ease.
It was obviously a tower defender game, but he was forced to play it like a peerless mower.
This has allowed Loki, which was originally ranked in the middle, to rise all the way, especially in terms of popularity rankings. Various values are like the stock market before the economic bubble, rising slowly.
This Asgard brother-sister combination is simply a dark horse that has suddenly emerged.
He went straight to the top three and pushed out the mediocre Doctor Voodoo.
"It seems more reliable for me to bet on that bad woman. She and Thor have become popular players."
Rocket Raccoon feels a little sad. Strange's popularity is sluggish and he is not even considered a seed player.
This wave of adventurous stud may really make him bankrupt and go to sea to pay off his debts.
"Don't worry, this is a sure-fire deal."
Luke is full of confidence. If he takes action in the second promotion match, he will definitely break through the siege.
