But as soon as he flew up, Strange felt a tug on his floating cloak.
He turned around and saw Luke behind him, who had just loosened a corner of his cloak. "Oh, sorry, I was too impatient. I'll definitely catch Strange himself next time."
Strange:???
Luke flew to his side. "It's good to have one more person."
Strange subconsciously shook his head. "You're basically dead if you go."
Luke chuckled. "This is just a highly realistic body. I won't die even if I destroy it. Do you understand?"
Strange was surprised, but he didn't doubt it.
As a native of New York, it was already a subconscious reaction for him to believe in the Dark Knight.
Even if Dom was terrifying, the Dark Knight hadn't said that he would kill him, so it was very likely.
Luke continued, "So, just pretend I don't exist after you go in."
Strange asked, "Are you sure?"
Luke said, "Yes, it's just a small waste of money."
Strange was lost for words. Damn it, isn't that what I always said before the accident?!
After the conversation, Strange raised his right hand above his left, and couldn't help but confirm again. "You really don't have to worry about your … body?"
Luke hummed in response.
Strange turned his right hand, and several green runes wrapped around his left forearm.
Luke simply silently recorded the data on the energy fluctuations. At the same time, he fully activated Elementary Concealment and Real Dream to make himself as transparent as possible.
This might not have much of an effect on Dom, but as long as Strange, the main force, pulled the Dark Knight's aggro well, it wouldn't target Luke first.
It was like a person facing a venomous snake and discovering an ant at their feet, but they wouldn't choose to kill the ant first.
Very soon, the two of them landed on a relatively large sphere after they entered the dark world.
Luke had secretly lured Strange to focus all his attention on dealing with Dom.
Luke also silently retreated a few hundred meters away from Strange, using his actions to show that he was just a bystander.
As long as Dom looked down on him, he might have a chance!
Strange's cloak fluttered down, full of the air of a Sorcerer Supreme.
He lowered his head and glanced at the green runes on his left hand. Then, an enormous black face rose from below the sphere and appeared in front of him.
On the huge black face, a pair of purple eyes were filled with malice.
Strange raised his head slightly and chose the polite words in his heart. He said, "Dom 'Mu, I'm here to negotiate."
The giant black face said, "You're here to die. This world belongs to me now, just like the other worlds. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple-black energy pillar descended from the sky.
In less than a second, Strange's entire body was gone.
The purple-black beam of light pierced through a large number of spheres and blood vessels in the World of Darkness before disappearing into the distance.
Luke was dumbfounded. … What kind of f * cking development was this? The protagonist died in less than a second?
This is the only Successor Disciple personally selected by Ancient One. Isn't it too much to give him a head in seconds?
Then, Luke was stunned.
The next moment, he was flying toward the sphere with Strange. Strange had cast a spell on himself.
The two of them flew down from the sky and landed where they had been standing.
Dom 'Ma's huge black face emerged from under the sphere.
Strange said, "Dom 'Ma, I'm here to talk terms."
Dom 'Ma said, "You're here to die. This world belongs to me now … What's going on? "
Only the giant black face of destruction and viciousness finally revealed surprise.
Luke glanced at Strange and already understood what was going on.
His clone was here, but his main body was still in New York.
Although his main body was a little "frame skipping" about what had just happened, he was still generally clear about it.
There was no doubt that this was a traditional skill of the Sorcerer Supreme – playing with time.
As soon as Strange died, time would automatically go back to the moment when he had cast Backtrack on himself.
Understanding that, Luke continued to stay silent as he gathered intelligence on Dom 'Mu.
He could only withstand that purple-black beam of light if he used the power of faith or credit points.
It was still unknown how many times he could withstand it, and that didn't mean he could deal with Dom 'Mu.
Although he now had tens of billions of credit points, Dom 'Mu was playing with "the world," and the chances of him killing it in one blow were really too low.
For now, Luke chose to believe Strange.
Dom 'Mu was an outrageous enemy to begin with, but it was Ancient One's final exam for Strange.
The strongest thing about the Sorcerer Supreme wasn't their power or their fists, but their weird spells.
Only weird spells could fight an enemy as weird as Dom 'Mu.
Thus, this battle wasn't a head-on clash, but a game of the rules.
Luke looked at the spatial gem that had completely sealed off the energy fluctuations. It was indeed time to learn the relevant combat experience. Using credit points to bully someone like Old Murphy wouldn't help him at all.
He hid on the side and watched. Dom 'Mu was suspicious. "Is this an illusion?"
Strange said, "No, this is reality."
Dom 'Mu said, "Okay."
Swoosh! Puchi!
Strange was pierced by a few thorns as thick as his waist, and died again.
Next, Strange came to negotiate terms. Dom 'Mu flew into a rage, and Strange died again.
Strange came again, and again he was dead.
Relying on the time gem to "save" in advance and automatically load the file when he died, the new Sorcerer Supreme played the classic "Save-Load method."
Every time he died, he didn't forget to use other traditional spells to block it.
Most of the time, he died instantly, but occasionally, he could last for a few seconds.
After dying so many times, Strange's proficiency and power in using the spells increased rapidly, so he didn't die in vain.
During this infinite loop, Luke remained invisible, and only did a little more than he did at the beginning.
Every time Strange finished loading, Luke would cast Mental Resistance and True Dream on him.
Strange was very resistant to mental abilities. These two abilities could only last for a few minutes, but it was enough for him to die again.
Mental Resistance cleaned up the negative mental state, while True Dream interfered with Strange's concentration at the moment of his death.
Combined, Strange was tortured to death thousands of times by Dom 'Mu, but his mental state was still stable and didn't collapse.
Not only that, but he also kept on increasing the output of his verbal cannon, emphasizing the infinite loop.
Luke could already sense that Dom 'Mu was indeed starting to get impatient.
No matter what it did, the end result would be the same.
It was like when an otaku entered a game, he could kill any monster with one slash, and then the game would restart.
He would have to repeat the process of creating a new account, killing monsters, and restarting.
There would be no gains or changes during this period.
Dom 'Mu was here to devour the world, not to be abused.
There were a lot of worlds it could devour, but this was the first time it had played like this.
To make matters worse, Strange had said a lot of things with his mouth.
For example, he could create some kind of dormancy spell to directly put his consciousness into hibernation and let him kill him.
If Strange gave up one day, Dom 'Mu would really play with him here forever, the kind where he couldn't die even if he wanted to.
Going back in time like this might also bring danger and attract some unknown existences. When that happened, Dom 'Mu, who was trapped together, would also be unlucky.
