The first thousand and forty-four chapters infinite future (six)
Rip didn't say anything, not only because it was a very cruel thing to completely break a person's hope, but also... He also heard another meaning in Strange's words.
That is... the war has reached the brink of almost despair.
Even these never-give-up heroes have reached the point of catching any life-saving straw they can catch.
Very bad.
Rip, who was thinking, suddenly felt a sudden stop in Strange, and the huge sense of drop almost made Rip, who was caught in Strange's hand, vomit out.
Although his soul is not the original wife, Rip is also the master of time with rich combat experience and will not make any idiotic mistakes during the battle.
He endured the discomfort and did not speak out, so naturally he did not ask what was going on with Strange. Instead, he followed Strange and looked at the dark void around him.
But in the darkness, there is nothing but nothingness.
Rip did not lose patience because of this. Strange could not stop for no reason. Perhaps it was because of other reasons, or perhaps it was because Strange could feel something farther away and could not see it himself.
All these are possible. Sure enough, Rip's idea was not wrong, almost the same as the latter. After the two of them slung in the void for more than ten seconds, a little blue light gradually appeared at the end of the void.
It was like some kind of signal light, flashing, shiny blue.
There is no feeling of science fiction to the future, but instead, it makes Rip, who is used to cutting-edge technology, feel a little childish as toys.
But Rip noticed this keenly, that is, the completely opposite to himself, Strange's face was hard to see at this time and could not be ugly anymore.
"What's wrong?" Rip asked in a low voice.
More and more blue light spots, like toys, emerged from the darkness of the void, gradually appearing in a arc in the distance and slowly approached the two of them, as if they were about to encircle them.
Although I don’t know what it is, it is extremely difficult to deal with in terms of this quantity alone.
However... this means that Rip can speak at will, and the other party began to blatantly siege, obviously they had already appeared.
Strange's face was still ugly. He grabbed Rip's shoulder and let him stand and float beside him, then looked at him and said slowly, "I'm afraid you need to end your short journey of time early and leave here."
"But how did I leave?" Rip asked immediately. He didn't know how he came here, how could he know how to leave.
In fact, if it weren't for Strange, he could have seen that Rip had indeed had problems and affirmed that Rip thought he had really had hallucinations or a messy memory before.
"I'll take you away," Strange continued. "I thought of a solution, maybe, but it's a bit too risky."
Before Rip asked why he had to give it a try since he was too risky, Strange had explained, "but as you can see." He shrugged, "The situation is urgent now, and there is no more time for us to choose slowly."
Strange took out the Eye of Ago Motorcycle again, but this time, he did not use it, but instead put this powerful weapon that can control time in front of Rip.
"This thing is called the Eye of the Ago Motorcycle, which can control time," said Strange. "Whether it is turning time back or forward, or still, it can do it. With it, it has infinite power."
"It's also my only trump card to stop the Death Wizard, but now, I need you to take it away."
"I will activate its power and turn time back, because we are all trapped in the eternal present, so your body may be destroyed, but the soul, with a glimmer of hope, is preserved, back to the past, back to where you really come."
"Of course, for the sake of being safer, I will attach more magic to protect your soul."
But Rip interrupted Strange, "Wait a minute," he said, "Since this thing is leaving..." he pointed to the Ago Motorcycle Eye in Strange's hand, "Why don't we kill them directly."
The faint blue light in the distance was already flashing and leaning forward, but because the distance was still a bit far, in the dark, Rip still couldn't see clearly what they were.
But whatever it is, as Strange said, under the invasion of time, it is ultimately vulnerable.
"Even if we are trapped in something forever, we can't use this thing to reverse time, and we can still fix them." Rip continued, "as long as we control them, we can completely smash them to pieces even in less than a minute."
“There is no need to leave.”
Strange naturally knew what Rip said. As Doctor Strange with the Eye of Ago Motorcycle, Strange knew more about time than Rip, the half-baked Lord of Time.
It is precisely because of this that Strange showed some despair at this time.
"Impossible." Strange said with a wry smile, "because these things are specifically for me, they must have known that I am here and sent this thing."
"They are called Delik, one of the most powerful and aggressive races in the universe, and are also targeted at time-related fields. Each shell has a time lock as a protection. Time is useless to them, and the Eye of Ago Motorcycle does not have any effect. It is directed to me."
"But you... are the last hope."
Then, Strange didn't give Rip a chance to refute or say more. He directly put the necklace as the Eye of Ago Motorcycle on Rip and slapped it suddenly.
"Si——!"
A faint green light flowed out along the Ago Motorcycle Eye. As the Ago Motorcycle Eye was activated, the green light instantly spread into a row of pupa, wrapping Rip in it with sparse spars.
The green nameless words surrounded Rip like dense ant colonies. From a distance, they looked like countless round cards were placed on his body.
"ah!"
Rip let out a short scream, and soon, the green light shone brightly, illuminating the entire empty dark space in an instant.
Dailic, who was surrounding him in the distance, was immediately exposed to the light range. The short oval barrel-shaped body looked like a sci-fi trash can, and there was a toilet that was stretched out as funny as if it was something.
But in fact, anyone who dares to underestimate them is swept into the real trash can by them.
However, at this time, Rip no longer had the leisure to pay attention to this scene. The severe pain seemed to tear him apart completely, and a burning heat spreading from the soul to the body wrapped around him.
The next moment, his whole body was destroyed by the halo of Ago Motorcycle's Eye, but Rip, who was in pain, did not notice it at all, and even felt it.
Rip's body was destroyed in the void, and the halo of Ago Motorcycle Eye gradually faded, and along with the body of Ago Motorcycle Eye, gradually dissipated in the void.
"Oh, by the way." Strange suddenly said at this time, "If you see me in the past, remember to bring me a sentence. Don't worry, it's irrelevant. Tell me not to regret any choice you made, because there is no need to regret it."
"Uh...if you can still hear it."
Strange shrugged, probably not having any hope for Rip to hear, so instead of saying that this is for Rip, it is better to say that Strange is saying goodbye to something he has done in the past.
"Okay..." Strange raised his hand again and fixed the ring between his two fingers. "It's a pleasant time to know you, Mr. Ripp from the past."
Then he suddenly pulled the collars on both sides of the cloak, raised his hands slightly, and emitted a dazzling golden luster. The light gradually condensed into a golden light rope like a whip, facing the Deliks who had surrounded him without fear.
"Now, it's time for you to know the consequences of abuse of magic."
"Uh..." But looking at the Deliks who seemed to have not heard what they said, without any response. They continued to walk in the void like tracks, Strange couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and then sighed, "This time, I probably can't negotiate the conditions."
The whip formed by the golden light was raised high in Strange's hand, and then the next moment, it was as fast as lightning, and with a horrifying sound, galloped towards the middle of the Deliks!
"wipe out!"
“etete!”
"wipe out!"……
Pain is always an unbearable feeling, and no matter which kind of pain it is, it will always enlarge and extend time infinitely, making people feel that life is like years.
It was a kind of... I never felt this moment, so long.
Rip is probably like this now.
I have to say that since falling into that unknown time and battlefield, Rip has been a little confused about how many times he has lost his sense of time.
But this feeling is indeed very uncomfortable and not good.
Fortunately, the pain is slowly weakening, and as the pain disappears, it is a very comfortable and familiar feeling.
Without even any reminder, Rip's mind instinctively jumped out of his mind.
This is your original body.
I returned to my original body again.
Sure enough, is all this just a dream?
The pain faded like a tide, nausea and other feelings surged up in an instant. Rip secretly felt that he drank a little too much last night, but fortunately, he did not do anything out of the ordinary except for having a strange dream in Guli.
"Gideon..."
he asked hoarsely.
Until now, he still doesn't understand why he had such a dream, a completely unknown time point, a completely unknown battle that has affected countless worlds.
The Court of Time cannot know nothing about it.
Because in addition to monitoring the past and ensuring the integrity and correctness of history, the time court also has the responsibility to monitor the future timeline.
If there really is a war in the future that affects countless worlds, and even pushes human survival to a precarious situation of destruction, the Court of Time will not be unaware of it.
The Court of Time will do everything possible to avoid such a thing. At that time, Rip's life will not be as easy and simple as it is now, but will do whatever it takes to prevent such a future life.
So he decided to ask Gideon if there were any relevant records in the Time Court.
Perhaps this possibility has indeed occurred in the future, but it has been stopped by the Time Court in advance. Perhaps this sign has long been there, but the past has not been paid attention to by the Time Court and ignored. This is possible.
No matter which possibility is, Rip will check it out personally.
However, after waiting for a few seconds, when Gideon's voice did not sound, Rip felt something was wrong.
As the console of the entire spacecraft, Gideon is also the port for each time spacecraft to connect to the time court switchboard, and is also the subordinate terminal dispersed from the center of the time court. It has a very fast response. Basically, it doesn’t take a few seconds to say that even delays rarely occur unless the spacecraft is seriously damaged.
After all, time is very important to the Lord of Time, especially when traveling in time, this is true every second.
And the hardness and coldness coming from behind also made Rip feel cold. His bed was not so anti-human.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a wall with strange stripes and white patterns. Although everything around him was strange, Rip's body seemed to be nothing serious. He turned over and sat up, feeling that he could not touch his head at all.
The walls were very white, even a little dazzling. They stared at the walls tightly. With the reflection of the walls, Rip saw clearly what he looked like now.
The light blue captain's outfit, and a dark green mixed in it, is exactly the outfit he often wears on the spacecraft, the standard configuration for the Lord of Time, and the dress he dressed before going to bed.
Because if Rip remembered correctly, he forgot to change his clothes before going to bed this time.
"Don't tell me this is another dream..." Rip covered his head in pain.
It is precisely because of this that he feels completely confused.
If everything before was just a dream, then why did he appear here? If everything before was not just a dream, then what did all this mean?
Rip pondered for a moment, then stood up.
In any case, he cannot wait quietly here. Only by acting can he get more favorable clues.
Anyway, this is not the first time he has faced a dilemma. As a master of time, Rip feels that he has the responsibility to find out the true truth of the matter.
With this idea, Rip walked towards the wall on the other side.
