The bluish-purple fog was quickly approaching, and the monster made of spheres and blood vessels was rising higher and higher to a height of more than a hundred meters.
Unlucky, who was with Strange, raised his head and exclaimed, "It's the dark space. Dom's here."
Luke looked at him.
Unlucky's eyes were full of disappointment. "It's too late. Nobody can stop him."
Luke immediately lost interest in this person.
In movies, this person was a weakling who stood next to the protagonist to make the protagonist stand tall and right.
In the end, he might even be stabbed in the heart by the villain before he suddenly realized his mistake and told the protagonist to "work hard" as he coughed up blood. Then, he could get his bento box and scram.
However, Luke didn't say anything to remind him.
The heir that Ancient One found couldn't be too weak.
On 2023's side, Strange was a man who had died and come back to life, and lived to the end safely.
Sure enough, Strange's expression changed, and he suddenly said, "That's not necessarily true."
As he spoke, he made a symmetrical orchid gesture with his hands, and the Eye of Agomoto on his chest turned, and the time gem inside lit up with a green light that represented kindness.
A green circular rune appeared in the palm of his right hand, as well as several green runes on his right forearm.
Strange looked strained, and the green rune slowly sped up.
The curtain of water from the exploding fire hydrant gradually stopped and rose to the highest point before it gathered and drilled back into the fire hydrant.
The broken pieces of the fire hydrant flew back and covered the gap, making it perfect again.
The falling neon lights, the collapsed citizens, and the collapsed houses all entered a "rewind" mode.
The three Mages with dark circles under their eyes, who had just been sent flying by Luke, also flew back and retreated.
But they seemed to sense something was wrong, and they slowly made a hand gesture.
The three of them "lagged" and left afterimages in the rewind, but they quickly stopped and returned to normal before they immediately charged at Strange and the unlucky Mage.
Caught off guard, Strange was thrown a few meters away by the blow.
Thankfully, the unlucky Mage who had come with him also broke out of rewind and rushed over to stop the ponytail from chasing after him, allowing Strange to escape the fate of being pinned to the ground and beaten up.
The entire world seemed to be rewinding. All sorts of items and citizens that were flying in reverse were no different from large hidden weapons, whizzing about on the ground and in the air.
Strange and Ponytail, on the other hand, were moving normally on both sides. They had to dodge the flying people and objects, but they were still sent flying.
The two followers of the ponytail were careless and were separated from the building by the side of the road. The situation was very awkward.
A chubby Kamar-Taj Mage also flew out from the collapsed building and landed on the ground in a horse stance.
Strange was quick to react. He reached out and lifted the rewind state. "Wang, wake up."
Looking at the rapidly rewinding world around him, the fat Mage surnamed Wang was a little confused. "This is …"
Strange said helplessly, "I broke the rules of time, I know."
Fatty Wang looked at him, and then at the dark world in the Holy Sanctum that had not completely retracted. "Well, we can't stop now."
Not far away, Little Ponytail was furious when she saw this.
He made a gesture with both hands and changed it several times. Then, he raised his hands high and smashed them heavily on the ground.
The ground instantly shook and rippled as he lunged at Strange, who was not far away.
Strange, who had just resurrected Fatty Wang, was caught off guard by the ripples and fell to the ground.
The green rune that was spinning on his right hand suddenly paused and disappeared.
The rewind stopped, and the whole world suddenly stopped.
Little Ponytail withdrew her hand from the ground and walked over unhurriedly. "You can't change your fate."
He raised his head and looked at the dark world that had just emerged from the Holy Sanctum. "How beautiful. This is a world that transcends time and death. "
A faint blue light lit up, and a black shadow flashed to Strange's side. It was none other than Luke, who had been taken away earlier.
Looking down at Strange, who had just struggled to get up from the ground, Luke couldn't help but ask, "You didn't want to keep me here just now?"
Hearing that, Strange turned his head and smiled bitterly. "Sorry, I didn't have time …"
Luke asked, "Is it too late now?"
Strange stared at Luke's left hand in surprise, where there was a gem that glowed blue.
He could sense that it was the power of this gem that had saved Luke from being frozen by the power of the Eye of Agomoto.
Noticing his gaze, Luke said casually, "I've never learned how to use it. It's very troublesome to control it …"
As he said that, the light of the spatial gem on his glove dimmed, and he slowed down. "… So, can you … hurry up?"
Enlightened, Strange hurriedly waved his hand to remove the time power that had enveloped Luke.
Luke stretched his neck and exhaled softly. "I feel much better now."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the folding rod on his waist flew out. A smooth axe blade ejected from the tip and cut the neck of Little Ponytail, who was looking up at the sky.
The head with dark circles under its eyes flew up and rolled in the air before landing on the ground. It rolled a few times before stopping.
Strange, Fatty Wang, and the unlucky Mage all stared at Luke in disbelief. Wait, didn't a Dark Knight never kill anyone?
Luke crooked his hand and put away the folding rod. "He's no longer a human being."
The three of them thought that it made sense.
Humans who had been corrupted by Dom's power were essentially the same as humans who had completed The Embrace; they had already become another species.
Dark Knights never showed mercy when it came to killing unusual creatures.
After explaining, Luke looked up at the still world of darkness. "It's useless to kill these small fries. You should think about how to deal with them."
Strange frowned.
Fatty Wang mumbled on the side, "Dom's already been here. Even if we turn back time, we can't erase their memories. They'll reappear on Earth a little later."
Luke asked, "How long is a little later?"
There was a big difference in the length of time.
If it was long enough, they could evacuate the people here in advance, in case the tens of millions of people in the city were buried with them.
As long as a few blocks were destroyed, at least hundreds of thousands of people would die.
After a brief silence, Fatty Wang shook his head. "Dozens of seconds? A few seconds? They're too powerful. It's already good enough that they could delay them. "
Luke glanced at Strange, only to see that the man's hair had turned white, and he looked several years older.
He hadn't looked like this when he was in New York.
Clearly, using the Eye of Agomoto to turn back time on a large scale to save people had a huge negative impact on him.
As Luke and Fatty Wang talked, Strange stared at the world of darkness, and his eyes flickered. "Transcend time … Transcend time?"
Muttering the ponytail's "last words" a few times, he suddenly understood something, and floated up into the air toward the forbidden world of darkness.
