Chapter 103 Strange Studying the Darkhold
Doctor Strange really wanted to refute Peter's explanation, but no matter from his consideration or calculation, there was indeed nothing wrong with what the other party said. There may be slight deviations, but it was basically the same.
As a Supreme Sorcerer, although he knew about the existence of the multiverse, his knowledge was limited. He only looked at things from his own perspective and had never considered these issues from the perspective of the multiverse.
And he knows very little about the multiverse.
He only learned from a black magic book called the Dark Book that there was a forbidden magic that could project one's consciousness into the multiverse, but this magic would cause damage to the other world, so he did not understand it in depth.
He must pay attention to things he doesn't understand well, and solve problems with the most confident method, that's what he needs to do!
So the first thing he thought of was to use magic to send everyone back to their own universe, and then use reversal magic to repair this world.
In order to protect the safety of the creatures in his own universe, what does the life and death of others returning to their own universe have to do with him? !
His mission and purpose from beginning to end is to ensure the independence and security of his own universe.
But what if we follow Peter's theory? !
The multiverse is one!
It’s no coincidence that they appear here!
Even if they don't appear in this world for this reason today, they will appear here for another reason tomorrow.
After all, he had heard of the name of the Space-Time Administration. Since existence is reasonable, it means that this is the result of the normal operation of the multiverse as a whole, and it can also be called - the promotion of destiny.
Destiny is a particularly mysterious word. It drives the experiences of everyone in every world at all times. As long as it does not threaten the security of the multiverse, fate will turn a blind eye to those who go against the will of heaven and change their fate.
Just like Peter, he did not become a lizard man, that was tacitly approved by the will and destiny of the universe, so Peter's timeline was derived. Since it was derived, how can it not be considered a part of the multiverse? !
Doctor Strange had to admit that Peter's explanation did convince him, but he still stared at the other person, and in addition to a hint of confusion, there was a hint of heat in his eyes.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I'm a little curious about the dark magic in you. This dark magic is different from the dark magic in our universe. How did you get it?!"
Peter really couldn't answer this question, but it was true that the power of black magic was very strong. Even if he obtained perfect black magic ability, he still couldn't fully display it with his current physical condition.
This is equivalent to a fully charged power bank, with a total of three sockets, only one of which can transmit power, which makes people feel very powerless...
Moreover, his dark magic is more like a combination of technology and magic. From the knowledge he has mastered, he can travel through the universe at will.
However, an object is needed as a medium, just like Doctor Strange needs a resurrection device to reverse the spell. For example, a time-space shuttle ball can be refined with rare minerals, and patterns can be engraved on it. Then it can be driven by black magic. By using this time-space shuttle ball to break the medium rules between the universe and time, the effect of traveling through the multiverse or parallel universe can be achieved.
However, this kind of black magic also has a big disadvantage. If a space-time black hole is created during this period, it is easy to be sucked in and live in the cracks of the world forever and ever.
It is the kind of person where one's consciousness can be projected into every corner and can observe the actions of all living things in the universe, but one can't do anything and can only watch others quietly, and others can't feel one's presence.
If it really becomes like this, anyone would go crazy...
There's not only this in the book, there's also a kind of black magic that can absorb the abilities of others, including supernatural powers, magic, and the power of rules. Of course, one must first have abilities that match them in order to control the power of rules.
"It's not that I got it, it's that it chose me, but I can't fully master this power yet..."
Peter said, shaking his head.
"Magic?! Did you just use dark magic?!"
Doctor Octopus Otto asked in surprise.
He didn't expect that Peter could actually know this kind of wizard-like spell.
Zhang Parker on the side was also very surprised, and then he was very glad that he had chosen the right path, otherwise he would definitely be beaten very badly by the other party, or even killed...
"But black magic has the ability to bewitch people, so it's best for you to use it less, otherwise you'll easily lose yourself..."
Doctor Strange said with a somewhat dim look in his eyes.
"You seem to have a lot of stories..."
Peter looked at the other person curiously.
After all, when I read comics in my previous life, there were indeed one or two Doctor Stranges who gained the power of black magic and thus degenerated into dark wizards and lost themselves. Of course, there were also those who used black magic reasonably to save the world. As for the multiverse, who can tell? !
"In our magic world, there are two sacred books. One is the Book of Vishanti, which represents righteous white magic, and the other is the Dark Book, which represents black magic..."
"If we talk about the manipulation of spells alone, if we don't talk about anything else, these two sacred books have always been a coveted treasure in the magic world and all magic. Coincidentally, I accidentally obtained one of them..." While Doctor Strange was speaking, a magical halo surged on his hand, and then a terrifying black animal skin magic book appeared in his palm, containing terrifying dark energy, which Peter could clearly feel.
"This is the Dark Book?!"
"That's right, it's just a copy. The real Dark Book is not a book, but is recorded in a cave protected by dark magic..."
"You should know about vampires, right? He is a monster created by the black magician who has mastered the Book of Darkness!"
"Legend has it that before Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea, the great wizard Varner of Atlantis had the Dark Book in his hands. After studying the Dark Book, Varner used it to "transform" himself into the first vampire."
Peter took the magic book and listened to the other party's narration, nodding as he flipped through it.
It was recorded that the method of casting magic was completely different from the dark magic that he mastered.
One is to promote the magic power in the body, and the other is to master the black energy and condense it into magical ability. They can be said to be two different systems belonging to the same darkness.
In fact, Peter also knew the origin of this dark book.
It has been explained in the comics that his creator was Sisos, the god of black magic, one of the four ancient gods!
However, there are very few explanations about him in the comics, and his appearances are even rarer. Most of the time, he appears in the public eye by using his possession ability in black magic to forcibly seize the consciousness of others.
To a large extent, the reason why Sisos is called the "God of Black Magic" is that he created black magic and used a book to record all the black magic spells he created. This book was later called the "Book of Dark God".
Of course, because the positioning of this book is completely opposite to the "Book of Vishanti" of the "Trinity God" Vishanti who created white magic, when a page is missing in the "Book of Vishanti", the corresponding page in the "Book of the Dark God" will automatically disappear and hide.
This is a very interesting setting. Their existence and disappearance are all for maintaining the balance of the curse world.
"It's indeed different from the dark magic I master, but if you use it too much, you will lose yourself."
Although he was curious, Peter still returned the book to the other party.
He could indeed take it for himself, but the other party actually took it out openly, which means that he has a backup plan to take it back. Peter is not so stupid as to think he is so awesome.
"I see you have some dark magic powers too. Have you ever used the forbidden spell above?!"
Peter raised his eyebrows and looked at Doctor Strange. When he completely mastered the black magic, he had already discovered that something was wrong with the other party. Although the power of the black magic was not very strong, it did linger on Doctor Strange's body.
"Well, actually this book doesn't belong to this universe. It comes from another universe. It belongs to my senior brother Baron Mordo from another universe..."
"I don't know how he came to my universe through his strange abilities, because there is no record of him in this book. However, his appearance did bring destruction to our universe. He used dark magic to cover the entire Manhattan. Later, he used dark magic to occupy my body and used the forbidden spell in the Dark Book. Then I occupied his body. It took me a lot of effort to kill him completely, but the dark magic remained in my body..."
"It is precisely because he came from another universe and caused a crisis to this world that I cannot allow such a thing to exist..."
Doctor Strange took the Darkhold back and sighed.
The erosion of dark magic on him sometimes made him very painful and affected his personality, but fortunately, he was the Supreme Sorcerer and had suppressed this influence to the lowest level...
"Hey, from what you said, you seem pretty miserable..."
Ultimate Gwen complained as she scrolled through her phone.
"Yes, so I practiced the dark magic mentioned above in an attempt to completely eliminate this ability, but it can only suppress it. I wonder if I can only return to normal if I destroy the original version of the Dark Book..."
"Have you ever thought about fusing the two types of magic into a new magical energy?! In this way, perhaps you can solve your hidden dangers..."
Peter suggested.
毕竟白魔法与黑魔法的结合不等于1+1=2,应该等于1+1大于二才对,所以应该能有奇效吧……
