American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

"This is a bit different from what I imagined." Strange couldn't help it.It can be heard from the words of the Mage King that Hyperion does not seem to be a just and lawful organization in the moral sense.

"What you and I know are somewhat different." After hearing Strange's words, the Mage King also gave him a special look.

"You sound like you know me very well. Well, in a sense, you do know me very well." Strange was about to mock, but then his face darkened as if he had thought of something.

"I have met Strange in many universes, and most of them have a common characteristic. That is, they know how to assess the situation, or in other words, they will choose the best course of action when they have no choice. They are rational to ruthless.

When a universe falls into a huge crisis, and there is a great possibility that it will spread to the multiverse like a virus and become a multiverse crisis, if this universe can be locked and allowed to fend for itself without affecting other multiverses, then Strange will eventually make up his mind.

When disaster is inevitable, choose the one with the least loss. "The Wizard King turned away and continued to lead Strange around the library. When Strange stopped to read a magic book from the bookshelf, he would stop and accompany him. When Strange puts the book in his hand back on the bookshelf, he and the other person will move around again and change places. During this period, the exchange and conversation between the two people will not be wasted.

"This is something I can do." Strange thought for a while and found that he also had this part of the trait.If things really came to pass, he felt that he would most likely make the same choice.

"But you are different from those Stranges. There are still some emotional biases in your mind. Or maybe you are more paranoid?" The Mage King gave another answer.

"What do you mean?" Strange was a little confused by the Mage King's words.

"It means that there are some differences in the behavior between you and the Stranges I have seen. To be honest, I still like yours better. At least when I need you, you will do it for some righteous reasons. , and calmly abandoned me during the decision. Although my rationality can understand the decision and behavior you made in that situation, my emotions will still be lost and depressed." Mage Wang explained in detail.

"How do you know that I am different from the Stranges you have seen? You know, strictly speaking, although we belong to different universes, our lives, experiences, everything are similar, even The same. The personalities will naturally be the same." Strange paused, glanced sideways at the Mage King walking beside him, and waited quietly for his answer.

"Shouldn't you be aware of it in your heart?" The Mage King faced Strange's gaze with a simple and honest smile on his face.

"Is it the kind of energy unique to your universe?" Strange asked with certainty.

"To be precise, psychic energy has begun to pervade and take root in the multiverse. Just like the forces of magic and chaos. It does make people more accurate and sensitive to emotional fluctuations and interpretations." Mage King After answering with certainty, he continued: "In addition, although the experiences in the multiverse may be the same, this kind of experience generally refers to a major event, the kind that can change your life and reshape your outlook and personality. For example, in all the universes where you become Doctor Strange, you will inevitably experience a car accident, which will inevitably hurt your most important hand, and you will definitely search for a cure all over the world, and after being disappointed again and again, in the end Put your hope in the ethereal and mysterious power.”

Strange fell silent for a moment.The car accident and the search for magical salvation do seem to be major events that he cannot avoid.These hardships tempered him and gave him new life.

"But the details are still different. For example, do you still remember the gender, skin color, and appearance of Master Gu Yi?" Master Wang Ruo pointedly asked the question.

"Of course he's a man. No," Strange blurted out, and then he frowned the next moment. He found that there seemed to be some kind of loss or change in his memory.The Ancient Master in his memory was male, but his subconscious told him that this was wrong!The Ancient Master is a woman!
For a normal person, there is no doubt that under a large amount of memory, they will ignore their own inexplicable subconsciousness and regard memory as the real and only correct answer.But when it comes to mages, especially a talented mage like Strange, sometimes, he even has to trust his subconscious mind more than his memory.After all, in the mysterious side, there are too many powers that can reverse and modify a person's memory.

If the memory is wrong, then everything that follows may also be wrong.This thought made Strange break into a cold sweat for a moment.

"My memory tells me that Master Ancient One is a male, but my subconscious tells me that my memory is wrong."

In the end, Strange revealed all his feelings and psychological fluctuations.

"Sure enough, your emotional paranoia may have allowed you to gain favor and love from psychic powers during your travels in time and space, which has corrected your trajectory to a certain extent." The Mage King finally showed some interest on his face. He looked like he had been testing for a long time and finally found out some information that concerned him. A generous smile appeared on his face again, but this time the smile looked much more friendly and familiar.

"What do you mean?" Strange was a little unsure.

"This is actually a hidden test. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then you are just an ordinary Strange to us, dispensable. But your answer did not disappoint us . You are a candidate who can join the Doctor Strange team and become its official member." The Mage King said, looking at Strange's calm face, he explained again: "The Ancient One Mage is a woman, but when she steps up to become a god The moment she entered the multiverse, she had already begun to shrink. She disappeared from the multiverse. But the Ancient One is an important part of the time node of the multiverse, and this role will not disappear. Can you understand what I say? ?”

"That is to say, my subconscious mind is not wrong. It was indeed the female Ancient One who taught me magic. But later, because the Ancient One Master of your universe embarked on the path to becoming a god, the power of the universe modified our memory. ?" Strange thought thoughtfully.

"It may be that your universe has been restarted once. After all, the universe seems to be very powerful, but it is also very fragile." The Wizard King gave another possible answer. (End of chapter)
