In other words, if Sebastian came into contact with Mordo, he could use his ability to erase history, killing Mordo in the past, rendering the present Mordo no longer a threat.
Of course, beings at Dormammu's level transcend time, to some extent. Furthermore, Mordo was already under his command. Even if Sebastian used this ability, Dormammu would likely interfere, causing Mordo to resurrect or the ability to fail.
Remember, the Time Turner Sebastian created was not a true Time Stone, and it could not truly affect beings at Dormammu's level.
Similarly, if Sebastian attempted to use this ability against someone superior to him, such as the Ancient One, he would not be able to make them disappear, effectively wasting his attempts.
Furthermore, this ability was not limited to just individuals.
For example, if someone attacked Sebastian by surprise, Sebastian could use this ability to preemptively eliminate them. Of course, he could also use his ability to stop time. For example, if someone assassinated Alisha, Sebastian could use this ability to alter the past history of Alisha's death. If an apple was eaten, Sebastian could also alter that history. This ability clearly had the same effect as the Eye of Agamotto. The final ability, and one that could only be used once, was Time Remnant.
It was simple: the moment a fatal attack struck, Sebastian would disappear into that timeline, avoiding the fatal blow. While simple, it was a crucial life-saving ability, allowing for more maneuverability and giving Sebastian the confidence to take risks.
Overall, although it only had twelve uses, the rewards from this one had surpassed Sebastian's wildest dreams. He had also gained a deeper understanding of the power of the Infinity Stones. What started as a desire to obtain six Infinity Stones had now become a reality.
The Infinity Stones were a vast treasure. To rival those who had lived through thousands and even tens of thousands of years, Sebastian had to harness their power to carve out his own path.
Putting away the artifact he had tentatively called the Time Turner, Sebastian retrieved another glass orb. This was one of countless fragments of the Phoenix Force, the smallest of them all, with only a trace of it remaining. Sebastian was about to experiment with this fragment, harnessing the power of the Time Stone within Agamotto's Eye, combined with the powers of the Space Stone and the Reality Stone, to experiment with it.
He gradually released it. Though devoid of its own will, the Phoenix Force still retained a certain instinct, yearning to escape Sebastian's control and seek out the most compatible human to coexist with.
But how could Sebastian simply let the Phoenix Force escape? With a flick of his wand, he channeled the power of the Space Stone from the Space Tower, instantly pinning the trace of Phoenix Force to its spot. Gradually, it transformed into a flaming, ethereal flame that hovered in mid-air.
At the same time, Sebastian waved his wand again, tapping the Eye of Agamotto, causing it to open again and reveal the Time Stone within. Sebastian then silently chanted an incantation, his wand waving in mysterious patterns. The Time Stone gradually emanated an emerald green light, reflecting the illusory flames of the Phoenix Force, which gradually transformed.
The illusory flames first grew vibrant, then became fierce and savage. Apparently, under the reversal of time, the Phoenix Force, previously devoid of self-awareness, had regained its sense of self. However, its own power was limited, and the spatial force extended by the Space Stone suppressed it, making it impossible to escape Sebastian's control.
Ignoring the changes in the illusory flames, Sebastian continued to influence the Phoenix Force with the Time Stone, eventually weakening its sense of self again, but not completely disappearing. It was like an adult transformed into a baby, its memories extinguished, its personality blurred, and only the most rudimentary intelligence remaining.
At this moment, Sebastian knew the time had come.
Removing the Eye of Agamotto with his backhand, Sebastian swung his wand once more. The Reality Stone's power, in the form of etheric particles, surged from his wand, rapidly converging upon the phantom flames of the Phoenix Force. Initially, the phantom flames of the Phoenix Force offered some resistance to the Reality Stone's power.
However, under the suppression of the Space Stone, this weak Phoenix Force quickly succumbed to the attack of the Reality Stone's power and was enveloped by layers of etheric particles emanating from the Reality Stone.
These etheric particles enveloped the Phoenix Force, continuously transforming it.
Soon, Sebastian drew out a soul orb and tossed it into the phantom etheric particles, dropping another soul orb at intervals until the etheric particles began to dissipate. Only then did Sebastian cease tossing the soul orbs and retrieved a crow's egg from his storage pouch.
At that moment, the ethereal particles completely dissipated, leaving only a soul brimming with flaming light. Under Sebastian's guidance, it gradually moved toward the carefully nurtured, magically transformed, and strengthened crow egg in his hand. It finally entered the egg, rapidly merging with the crow embryo within.
Feeling the soul and crow embryo successfully merge, Sebastian's face lit up with joy. He immediately mobilized his mental power to carve a mental imprint into the crow egg, completely merging with the embryo and soul within. Once the crow was born, it would naturally develop a closeness and dependence on Sebastian, recognizing him as its master.
This experiment was, in fact, the first in Sebastian's magical creature-creation project. He would use the power of the Phoenix to transform a crow egg, which had been transformed through the bio-genetic technology of Essex Corporation from the X-Men universe and his own magic, to cultivate a magical creature with immense and extraordinary powers.
It seemed that this first experiment might be successful, a pleasant surprise.
He carefully placed the crow egg in the incubator he had prepared long ago.
This incubator was meticulously planned and designed, crafted by Reed himself. Embedded with Sebastian's magical skills, it guaranteed the hatching and survival of young magical creatures.
After placing the incubator in the secret room, Sebastian gathered his belongings and left. He had conducted two consecutive, intense experiments, and even though they were all successful, they left him somewhat exhausted.
But just as Sebastian walked out of the secret room, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the secret room behind him, and raging flames instantly gushed out from it!
