Chapter 258 - Corrupted Doctor Strange, Hunting Other Doctors Across the Multiverse

Indeed!

His guess was correct!

A glint of light flashed in Nick Fury's single eye.

This car accident was indeed a crucial turning point in "Doctor Strange's" life.

It was a significant opportunity for him to transform into Doctor Strange!

Moreover, the diary also made it very clear that Strange came into contact with Kamar-Taj because he wanted to heal his hands.

Nick Fury was slightly surprised by this situation.

After all, the diary had long since revealed Kamar-Taj to be a profound and mysterious organization of mages, filled with a certain level of mystique.

Why would Strange seek out a mage organization to heal his hands?

Does Kamar-Taj have any healing magic?

But in the end, none of this matters. What matters is that Kamar-Taj is about to surface.

This is Doctor Strange's opportunity, and also Nick Fury's!

In fact, ever since the diary revealed Kamar-Taj, Nick Fury has used the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. to conduct investigations.

But unfortunately…

Aside from some unsubstantiated rumors, nothing substantial was found.

What Nick Fury naturally couldn't know was that Kamar-Taj couldn't be found by anyone.

Those who truly found Kamar-Taj, thought they had found it themselves, but in reality, it was Kamar-Taj that had taken the initiative to let them find it.

Just like Doctor Strange.

So even if Nick Fury intends to secretly keep an eye on Doctor Strange, and thus follow the clues to find Kamar-Taj, there's no way he will get any results.

Of course, that's all for later.

Right now, Fury is ambitious, so he couldn't have foreseen this ending.

"Christine!"

And soon, this name caught Fury's attention.

In fact, as someone who had been keeping an eye on Doctor Strange behind the scenes, Fury was no stranger to Christine.

This person had always maintained an ambiguous relationship with Doctor Strange.

Plus, the diary had revealed it.

In another universe, Doctor Strange had been corrupted by repeatedly traveling through time to save his lover.

Ultimately leading to the destruction of the universe.

How could Nick Fury afford to be careless?

He had long since logically deduced that the "lover" who caused Corrupted Doctor Strange to destroy the universe might be Christine.

And now, Nick Fury had received a very definite answer.

That was indeed the case; he had guessed correctly once again.

Not only that, judging by the tone of the diary.

It was clear that in the universe where the Doctor was corrupted, it wasn't just Doctor Strange who had been in a car accident.

It was Doctor Strange and Christine, both of them.

Christine, this was a key figure!

Regarding the matter of "Corrupted Doctor Strange destroying the universe," Nick Fury understood a bit more.

Just one thing, though: what was the Ancient One doing cutting off the timeline?

Why would the Ancient One do something like that?

Intentional, or unintentional?

In an instant, Nick Fury fell into deep thought.

The result was also without a doubt.

Due to the lack of relevant intelligence, Nick Fury couldn't come to any definite conclusions.

But that didn't stop Nick Fury from being shocked by the Ancient One's powerful abilities.

Even though the diary had already revealed many times that the Ancient One was a super big shot on the same level as Odin.

But Nick Fury never imagined that the Ancient One could do something so astonishing.

"He cut off the timelines!"

This is truly astounding.

[Doctor Strange, Christine, this should be the most touching pair, right?]

[Clearly, in every multiverse, Doctor Strange deeply loves Christine, but they can't be together in any universe.]

[Doctor Strange can only watch Christine marry someone else!]

[Even in some universes, Doctor Strange, because of this obsession, cultivated the Darkhold and practiced Dreamwalking.]

[In the multiverse, he searched for a Christine who could be with Doctor Strange.]

[But unfortunately, he didn't find any.]

[It got to the point where that Strange also became twisted, starting to hunt Stranges in the Multiverse.]

Tony: "..."

The playboy really didn't know what to say.

Other than speechless, just speechless.

He even felt a deep sympathy for Doctor Strange.

This guy was just too pitiful!

It was one thing to be unable to obtain love, but if it were an ordinary person, Tony could still comfort them.

It doesn't matter, even if you can't be together, there's always a universe where you are.

Doctor Strange?

He's so miserable in every universe!

Tony couldn't help but wonder if Doctor Strange and Christine were cursed.

Or had they offended some god above the multiverse, and were being targeted?

Otherwise, how could such a thing happen?

More importantly, the unrequited love wouldn't be such a big deal.

After all, you love someone who doesn't love you, or someone loves you but you don't love them, that kind of thing is perfectly normal.

That's just how relationships are.

Not everyone is as lucky as he, Tony, who finally got to marry the woman he loved.

Even Captain America, such an outstanding and cool guy, didn't he miss a date forever?

What's the big deal?

But what about this Doctor Strange?

He's gone crazy.

Unable to get Christine in his own universe, he didn't hesitate to study the Darkhold, setting his sights on the Christines of other universes.

Isn't this the same as how Scarlet Witch set her sights on the sons of her variants in other universes?

Speechless.

Utterly speechless.

These two…

It seems that some people with unstable minds, if they master overwhelming power, are truly a disaster.

Destroying their own universe is one thing, but they're even messing with the multiverse.

Scarlet Witch went on a killing spree, wiping out nearly the entire Illuminati of Universe 838.

What about Corrupted Doctor Strange?

Well, he just went and started targeting his own selves across the multiverse!

"This guy is truly insane."

Tony couldn't help but shake his head, not understanding the logic of that Corrupted Doctor Strange for a moment.

What's with killing your other selves?

You know, in all the universes, Doctor Strange couldn't be with Christine, just as miserable as he was.

Shouldn't everyone be feeling sorry for each other?

Why are they killing people instead?

"Of course, killing is wrong. But if you set everything else aside and just look at it logically, wouldn't you want to kill the people who took Christine?"

Why are they targeting me?

"Wait a moment!"

While complaining, Tony thought of another crucial issue.

Since another "Corrupted Doctor Strange" is targeting Doctor Strange in the multiverse…

Then, is his own universe also at risk of being invaded?

What a mess.

Multiverse crisis +1.

[Haha, I wonder if the Doctor Strange from Universe 199999 has ever had a dream about falling from a tall building?] [The experience of another self in a parallel universe appearing in a person's dream is truly fascinating.]

[Just like how Defender Strange was killed by the Banded Monster to protect America Chavez, it appeared precisely in Doctor Strange's dream.]

[There's just one thing.]

[How did that Corrupted Doctor Strange control someone else to push Doctor Strange off the building?]

[Or, did he use Dreamwalking to control another version of himself to jump to his death?]

[Dreamwalking shouldn't be able to let consciousness possess anyone other than oneself, right?]

[Otherwise, Doctor Strange wouldn't have had to descend into his own corpse to become Zombie Strange to deal with Scarlet Witch.]

"Dreams?"

Tony couldn't help but be stunned.

The theory mentioned in the journal was something he'd never heard of before, and no one had ever brought it up.

From a scientific standpoint, dreams...

Weren't they just localized brain activity while a person was asleep?

That's why unconscious, or even random, mental activity occurred.

To put it plainly, it was a normal, common physiological phenomenon.

Even if he dreamed about himself... Well, actually, thinking back, Tony felt that most of his dreams were related to himself.

That was also a very common phenomenon.

People dream, just like people get hungry if they don't eat, laugh when they're happy, and cry when they're sad - it was nothing special.

So now, the diary tells him that dreams are actually projections of parallel universes?

Are they the experiences of his own variant in a parallel universe? That's a bit ridiculous!

After all, some of the dreams Tony had were quite absurd.

For example, him and a group of... ahem.

Tony really didn't believe that his variant would do those absurd, illogical things.

But at the same time.

Tony had obtained the diary for such a long time, and the spoilers on the diary had never been wrong.

So...

Tony examined the relevant wording and descriptions again, and came to a more reasonable conclusion.

He was right, and the diary was also right.

Dreams were indeed unconscious activities of the brain, and most dreams were meaningless.

But some dreams came from the projections of his other selves from other parallel universes! This explained everything perfectly.

So, he didn't need to take those dreams seriously.

But if he really dreamt of being chased and killed, he still needed to pay attention.

The playboy knew how to treat his dreams.

He temporarily put away those miscellaneous thoughts and refocused his attention on the diary.

So it looks like the way that Corrupted Doctor Strange killed his other selves was by pushing them down a building?

That's rather… primitive?

It doesn't fit with the identity of a Sorcerer Supreme!

But then again…

Being able to push another version of himself, who is also a Sorcerer Supreme, off a building, does say a lot.

Besides that, Defender Strange?

Without a doubt, this is another variant of Doctor Strange.

And this "Defender" sounds similar to "Avenger."

It seems that the Doctor Strange from that universe is also a superhero.

There's nothing more to say about that.

As for America Chavez being killed by the Banded Monster to protect her, this was the first time the diary mentioned it, and Tony naturally didn't know the specifics.

But wasn't America Chavez always being chased by the Scarlet Witch?

So now she's also being hunted by other monsters?

Just how "killable" are you?

"So, Dreamwalking is like this?"

"Like puppetry!"

Nick Fury, in front of another diary, was completely enlightened.

No wonder, even though the Scarlet Witch already possessed the ability to travel through the multiverse, she still wanted to seize America Chavez's ability.

Nick Fury used to find it strange, but now he finally had the answer.

So, Dreamwalking can't actually travel through the multiverse; it can only control some puppets in the multiverse.

Although it's also very awesome and powerful,

it's still a bit different from America Chavez's real universe-hopping.

Thus, it's not hard to understand why Scarlet Witch is chasing America Chavez all over the multiverse.

But.

Doctor Strange actually projected his consciousness onto a corpse?

Wow, you can even do that?

Zombie Doctor Strange, just thinking about it is a bit terrifying!

This Darkhold really deserves to be "dark" magic!

[Zombie Doctor Strange, one of Doctor Strange's most classic versions.]

[And the Zombie Doctor Strange under Dreamwalking can completely control the power of the dead, which is much more powerful than the Zombie Doctor Strange in the zombie universe.]

[Speaking of which, that universe is really miserable. Except for a few people like Spider-Man and Wasp, the entire human race has turned into zombies.]

[Everyone died horribly.]

[Zombie Iron Man was beheaded, Zombie Captain America was cut in half by his own shield, and Zombie Doctor Strange was eaten into a skeleton by ants.]

[Black Panther was even reduced to food for Zombie Scarlet Witch.]

[That must be the nightmare of all superheroes.]

Zombie… Zombie universe?

Tony was stunned.

In the many parallel universes of the Marvel series, is there actually such a universe?

And the owner of that diary, Zhou Cheng, even used the term "zombie" to name this universe.

It's clear that the zombie threat in that universe is extremely severe.

It's even possible that it's become like the Resident Evil film series, with a global zombie outbreak!

And soon.

Tony's guess was verified: all humans in the zombie universe were finished.

Not just all humans, but even the superheroes weren't spared.

His great Tony, hadn't been spared either!

Captain America, that guy who only knew how to swing his shield, that was fine, but his great Tony?

???

It shouldn't be like this!

The playboy was somewhat surprised.

Logically, his Iron Man armor should be the greatest nemesis of those zombies!

After all, zombies couldn't possibly break through the defense of his Iron Man armor.

Moreover, his Iron Man armor could fly and was equipped with so many weapons.

Those mere zombies shouldn't even be worth mentioning.

Yet, he was also hit?
