Chapter 159 The Eye of Agamotto
Strange finally persuaded Mordo to regain his senses, but the black mage still didn't stop staring at Michael with angry and unwilling eyes.Michael didn't care about this, and his attention quickly shifted to Strange.

Doctor Stephen Strange held out his hand to him: "Mr. Passo. No, it should be a mage. We once attended a party together, but I think you must not remember it."

"Doctor Stephen Strange." When Michael held his hand, he noticed that his hand was trembling. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Strange raised his eyebrows: "Do you remember me?"

"Of course I remember, the best talented surgeon in New York, you are so talented and famous that it's hard to ignore."

"That's all in the past, I can't use a scalpel for a long time." Strange smiled bitterly, looking at his trembling hands, "Besides, when it comes to 'brilliant', no one in New York can compare with you. When the Ancient One mentioned that Michael Paso was also her mage, I didn’t believe it. I mean, a big figure like you in the scientific world is also a master of occult arts? This is just...unbelievable."

"Existence is reasonable. Everything that exists in the world has its own scientific reason, and magic is no exception. These two sciences do not conflict." Michael said.

"That's true." Strange nodded, "I noticed the tone of the Supreme Mage when she mentioned you. She really values ​​you. I can tell that even though you have left here, it still doesn't seem to affect her respect for you."

"Although we have differences in some aspects, we respect each other. I don't agree with many things she does, but this does not change the fact that she is my mentor." Michael said lightly, "As I said, this That's why I'm here to help."

Strange nodded: "Our current situation is very bad. Two of the three temples have been breached, and only the Hong Kong Temple is still working. It must be the next stop for Casillas and those fanatics Target, we must hurry over, maybe it is too late now"

"No. The Hong Kong Temple is under my surveillance, and they haven't called yet." Michael paused, and said, "Actually, I don't think they will attack the Hong Kong Temple."

Strange was stunned: "Over there is the last temple, as long as it is breached, Dormammu will come."

"But the last temple will also be guarded by all of us, and it will take several times more effort to force a breakthrough than before." Michael said, "And now they have a new choice. Another mage joined them faction, he was bewitched by the evil power of Dormammu, even stronger than Casillas. And he is also a cutting-edge scientist, he designed a scientific device that can bypass the protection of the temple and directly open the dark dimension door, and he'll be building one in no time."

Maybe it's because the amount of information in this passage is too huge, Strange didn't react for a while, and only subconsciously exchanged a glance with Mordo.

They have fought against Casillas, and they clearly know how powerful Casillas who has accepted the dark power is, and the two of them are not opponents at all together.And now Michael says that there is a new black mage who is much more powerful than Casillas?And is that even a scientific boss who designed a machine that can get through dimensions?

No, this doesn't sound like a science guy anymore, does this sound like a magician at all?

"Okay." Strange turned his head slowly, showing a suspicious expression, "Then the person you mentioned... it sounds like you know him well?"

"Yes." Michael said calmly, "Because that person is my disciple."

There was a long silence in the temple.

"I said it a long time ago." Modu said disgustedly, "Look, isn't this the evil result caused by your own hands? The ancient one broke the rules and broke the common sense, so he created the mistake of Casillas .And you, too, never know what to be in awe of, so this is also your fault. It is because of you that the world is now at stake."

Michael didn't bother to talk to him at all.He pointed to the pendant hanging on Strange's chest, the artifact called "The Eye of Agamotto": "The Eye of Agamotto, have you read the spell about it, right? That tome , I think it's still on the shelf in the library, right?"

The Eye of Agamotto is an artifact handed down from generation to generation by the supreme mage, created by the first supreme mage Agamotto.According to the MCU, the real body of this god-level magic weapon is actually the original time stone, one of the six infinite original stones, so it has a series of time-related functions such as rewinding time, manipulating time, rewriting time, and peeping into the future. .And as an infinite rough stone, it also has truly endless energy and is one of the most powerful weapons in the universe.

Strange nodded: "Yes, I have looked through it, and I think it should still be on Karma Taj's bookshelf. But I didn't get permission at that time, and I only had time to see a few basic ones. Spells, you can apply the power of the Eye of Agamotto to a certain extent to speed up or rewind time in a local area, and maybe you can also set a time loop enchantment in a specific area. But that's all. More to come Before I could read the content, other mages stopped me from reading any further."

"That's because you are ignorantly destroying the law of time, which may lead to more serious consequences." Modu said dissatisfiedly, "You haven't reached the point where you can control time."

Michael still ignored the black mage: "Then we're going to the library next."

Strange said in surprise, "You don't think so"

"Prepare for the worst. If Dormammu really comes," Michael said, looking at the Eye of Agamotto hanging on his chest, "this is our best chance."

***
Building a new dimension machine is already a piece of cake for the current Victor von Doom, and he is even confident that it will be more perfect than the previous prototype.

Of course, this kind of project will naturally have requirements for materials and equipment, but when you lead a team composed entirely of black mages, all of these will not be a problem.Doom listed all the materials he needed in turn, and pointed out where and in what institutions they could be found.Within 10 minutes, those mages were able to bring back the materials he named.

After six hours of work, a brand new machine was born, only this time it didn't look like a chair, but more like a cannon pointed straight at the sky.Two of Doom's homemade generators were attached to the back of the pedestal, connected by intricate wiring.

Casillas walked behind Dum, frowned and said, "This one looks different from the one last time."

"That's because the function of that station last time was to bring people from this side to the opposite dimension, idiot." Dum made no secret of his contempt for the ignorant, "but this time the thing I built can directly Bring back what's on the other side."

"Then does that mean?"

"Yes, this means that our preparations are complete." The darkness in Dum's eyes rolled like a thundercloud. "Now, we can prepare for the coming of God."
