Chapter 1864: The Madman's Journey (Part 42)

Chapter 1838 The Journey of a Madman (Forty-two)

Helen sat cross-legged on the floor, holding a book that was bigger than her head. Strange stood in front of the bookshelf and kept throwing books down. Harry stood at the bottom and caught them and handed them to Helen.

Helen shook her head while reading, and sighed in between her shaking heads. After hearing her sigh for the twelfth time, Strange turned around and looked at Helen and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this method?"

"'Is there anything wrong?', what is not wrong?" Helen raised her head from the book, turned back and glared at Strange, shook her head gently and said, "You broke my stereotype of Dr. Stephen Strange's usual shrewdness. How could you be fooled by this broken thing?"

Strange stood there and looked at her gloomily. Helen closed the book with a "snap". Throwing the book aside, he said, "You haven't taken a magic theory class, have you? What is the most important thing about a magic theory?"

"Origin and historical evolution." Barry looked at another book and answered without looking up, "If a magic theory cannot find its origin and evolution process, then it is very likely to be a trap used by the evil god to deceive humans."

"The biggest feature of human magic knowledge inheritance is the gradual improvement of the evolution process. Misuse and homophony are an indispensable part of theoretical inheritance. Any theory that appears as a finished product either has natural defects and huge loopholes, or it must be a trap."

Barry recited the contents of the textbook very fluently, and then he added, "The Supreme Sorcerer added a note below it. The more powerful and perfect the theory is, the less likely it is to appear in the hands of humans out of thin air. Without the exploration process, it is not knowledge that humans can research."

Strange's hand stroked the cover of a book, and after a while he said, "It seems that the magic education in your world is very advanced."

"It's better to say that you are too backward. I guess you haven't been to school properly at all? Didn't you die in Strange? "Helen was just saying it casually, but she suddenly stopped, looked down at the book she threw beside her, then looked up at Strange and asked, "Where did you get this book?" "This is a secret place. The building we are in is called the Library of Cagliostro, and this is one of its books." Harley immediately frowned and squinted her eyes, shook her head and said, "It looks suspicious. How did you get here?" Strange hesitated for a moment, but still told him his previous experience. In short, Strange was in a car accident on the way to a date with his girlfriend Christine, but this time he did not break his hand, but his beloved girlfriend Christine died in the car accident. Strange embarked on the road of magic and became the Supreme Sorcerer. He wanted to use the Eye of Agamotto to go back in time to save his girlfriend, but failed. No matter how he changed the conditions at that time, Christine would definitely die. Later, he learned from the Ancient One that Christine's death was an absolute time point, because only when Christine died could Strange become the Supreme Sorcerer.

After trying countless times, Strange still didn't want to give up. The Ancient One could only cut his time and split him in one choice.

Strange, who chose to turn back and get on the right path, stayed in the universe, while Strange, who still chose to be stubborn, mistakenly entered a secret realm and came to the lost library of Cagliostro under the guidance of the secret realm administrator Ao Ben.

Here, Strange found a way to break the absolute time point. This method is nothing magical. It is to use the summoning array to summon various powerful creatures to devour their power. As long as the power is strong enough, it can naturally break the curse of certain death.

After hearing this, Harley shook her head and said, "Perhaps you are too weak to be vigilant, or you may be blinded by urgent desire. How can there be such a coincidence in this world?"

"You urgently need a solution to the dilemma, and then by coincidence, you happen to come to a secret place without any danger, and there happens to be a library in this secret place that records all kinds of knowledge. It just so happens that you find the one you need among all these knowledge. Don't you think there is any problem in this?"

Just as Strange was about to speak, Harley interrupted him and said, "You want to say that you are lucky, but if your luck is really good, Christine will not die."

Strange was speechless.

After a while, he asked tentatively: "Do you think this method is wrong?"

"I can tell you very confidently that this method is wrong." Helen stood up, walked in front of Strange, looked into his eyes and said: "The biggest trap here is that it tells you how to draw the summoning array, but does not tell you the principle behind it."

Helen raised her hand, and the book flew into her hand. She pointed her finger at one of the magic circles and said: "Do you see this rune? This is a directional entry for directional summoning, which means 'of this universe', 'here', 'not far away', which means that the summoning array summons all the lives of this universe."

"And this, this entry means 'unlimited energy level', and the entry next to it is 'unlimited rule category', do you know what consequences this will lead to?"

Strange shook his head. After he became a disciple of the Ancient One, he was obsessed with saving his girlfriend. The spells he practiced were all related to time. The knowledge reserves of magic circles and magic runes were huge and complicated, and it took a very long time to master them. Strange only wanted to learn quickly and didn't look at these things carefully at all.

Helen closed the book and sighed before saying, "There are not only useless energy demons in this world, but also many rule-based gods. They are certain rules of the universe itself."

"You may think that you have destroyed the dark demon Dormammu, but in fact, as long as the darkness of the universe still exists, Dormammu is immortal. This is not a dishonest rule, but because the universe needs him and he is part of the universe."

"If these two items are not restricted, the things you summon are likely to be mixed with life that is integrated with important rules. After you swallow all their energy, you yourself cannot support the power of the rules, which is equivalent to breaking a load-bearing column of a building."

"You devour a large amount of rule life in a short period of time, which will cause great damage to the structure of the universe. The self-repair speed of the universe is measured in tens of millions of years, which cannot keep up with your destruction speed. The only consequence of this is the collapse of the universe."

Helen picked up the book again and flipped through it. He said: "The most important point is that the method of converting the energy you devour into your own power is too simple. It can be said that if you devour 100% of the power, you can only keep 10%, and most of the less refined power can't even keep 10%."

"This is equivalent to it only giving you the suction port of a vacuum cleaner without providing the corresponding pipes and storage equipment, but giving you the maximum power motor, so that you can suck hard, but you can't keep much, and all the power you absorb will be scattered in the universe."

"In this way, you become a meat grinder, just constantly destroying the rules of the universe and producing meaningless garbage energy."

"And because there is no correct storage method, even if you suck up all the life that can be summoned in this universe, the remaining power is definitely not enough to break the absolute time point."

Helen's firm attitude really made Strange a little shaken, because she looked too skilled and what she said really sounded like that.

Helen snapped her fingers, looked at Strange's face and said, "I can teach you how to properly fleece the universe. Not only will it not cause the universe to collapse, it may also prolong the life of the universe, and you can also keep at least 80% of your own power. You only need to fleece a few times to break the cycle."

Strange narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the price?"

"I've said it before, we are now chasing the murderer. Your experience is likely part of the plan of the mastermind. If I help you, you have to help us find clues to the murderer."

"Is it that simple?"

"It's not a difficult task for me." Helen shook her head and said, "I'm afraid you have already felt that I am neither a human nor an Aesir, and you can't see what I am."

"And if I have to make an analogy, I'm probably the world's largest, most powerful, and smartest oversized vacuum cleaner."

Twenty minutes later, Helen stood at the re-drawing Next to the magic circle he had just drawn with Harry and Barry, he pointed to the magic circle he had just drawn with Harry and Barry and said, "Do you see that rune? That is the rune that restricts the energy level and rule category, which can prevent us from summoning rule-based creatures that are very important to the universe."

"And that rune means 'marginal' and 'distant', and the rune next to it means 'broken'. Let's pick up the broken garbage at the edge of this universe first."

"Don't look at me like that. It's garbage to me, but it's extremely precious energy to humans. It's enough for you to use for several lifetimes. These are the safest ways to obtain energy summarized by Kamar-Taj students in countless classes."

Strange activated the magic circle half-believingly, and the next second countless limb fragments emerged from the teleportation array, some like tentacles, some like claws and abdomens, and many energy fragments like building debris.

Strange didn't absorb the energy, and it poured directly into his body. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground, his eyes black.

When he woke up again, the three children had already carved a new magic circle. Helen rubbed her hands, turned to look at him and said, "There is not much garbage in your universe, but it doesn't matter. Next, we will start to extract the energy of those demons with spare power."

Strange got up from the ground with some difficulty, feeling the powerful force surging in his body. He looked around his body with some surprise. He looked at Helen and said, "This is amazing, so next we can devour the powerful demons?"

"Don't think about it. Even if you pick up garbage ten thousand times, you can't swallow the dimensional masters like Mephisto and Setorak. Their energy is endless."

"But because of this, we don't need to rob them openly. We can just summon them over to talk. What can't be discussed? Dormammu can also talk. As long as the conditions are good enough, there will definitely be enough energy." Helen said while picking her fingers: "And it's not just one universe. After we have fleeced the sheep in this universe, we will go to the next one. We can fleece a little bit in each universe without worrying about fleecing the sheep bald." "When you have fleeced enough energy, feed it to those rule-based life forms and let them strengthen the structure of the universe so that they can provide you with more room to play." Helen smiled widely. Then he said: "Ancient One stopped you because constantly resetting time may cause the structure of the universe to be unstable, thus leading to destruction."

"You have enough power and have reinforced the structure of the universe to be indestructible. Then you can try as many times as you want. I don't believe that the power of thousands of universes combined cannot revive an ordinary human woman?"

"What is the 'absolute time point'? Dr. Schiller said that if it is absolutely not possible, it means that the vision is not good enough, and if it is absolutely wrong, it means that the equivalent is wrong."

"With an open vision and the equivalent in place, there is no wall in this world that cannot be broken!"

What if
