Chapter 2173 Battle of Two Cities! (Forty-one)

When the operation was halfway done, Jonah had already realized that something was wrong. This was not a situation he could handle, but that was how gamblers were. They always thought they could turn the tables until they lost their pants.

When Strange appeared, Jonah's misjudgment of the situation had reached an outrageous level. He thought that if he was given another half an hour, the operation would be a perfect success. It was because Strange knew this that he persuaded the agent to take credit for his work.

In the operating room, Strange was like a lion patrolling his territory. He walked slowly behind Jonah, without any intention of taking his position as the chief surgeon.

But Jonah felt as if he had returned to his intern days, when the chief surgeon he was taught to perform a simple operation that could not be simpler, and he was a little panicked as he was then.

He tried hard to analyze the direction and structure of those specific nerves, completely forgetting the model he had conceived in the consultation before, and started the analysis from scratch, ready to take a gamble.

"Aren't you going to give it a try?"

Strange heard a voice ringing in his ear. At first he thought it was his hallucination, but soon he heard the same call again, so he turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.

At that moment, Strange's pupils shrank suddenly, because he saw a young man with black hair and blue eyes standing in the corner of the operating room and smiling at him.

That was Bruce Wayne.

To be precise, it was Bruce Wayne's soul, but it was so rich that it didn't look like an ordinary person's soul, and there was a layer of hazy light on the edge.

"Aren't you going to try to save me?"

The moment Bruce's voice appeared in Strange's mind, his heart was alarmed, and he said: "Who are you? Why did you let me come here?!"

"I'm sorry to invite you in this way, but I want to negotiate with you."

"I won't negotiate with anyone." Strange acted very tough, he shook his head gently, and said to Bruce: "Especially a strange creature like you, don't try to seduce me."

"I guess you have seen Constantine, you must be very curious, where did his messy but very effective escape methods come from?"

Bruce changed the topic and began to talk: "This is about the magic system of the earth you are not familiar with. Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, the source of magic and the way to use magic in your universe are not the worst."

Reason told Strange not to listen to this weirdo, but he had to admit that what he said was very attractive. Strange wanted to know what the magic system on the other side was, and he really couldn't think of any system that could be worse than the current one.

Strange is not a competent Supreme Sorcerer. Under his leadership, the Earth's magic defense system has been deteriorating year after year. He has to constantly check for deficiencies and put out fires everywhere to barely maintain it. This situation has been going on for some time.

What could be worse than this?

Bruce's next words opened his eyes.

Bruce briefly described the magic system of the DC universe to him, especially the reactions of the magic world to the invasion of vampires, including how the great wizards betrayed humans, how the cunning demons and angels harvested humans, and how the magic inheritance lost its autonomy.

After all, Strange is the Supreme Sorcerer, and the Supreme Sorcerer's power is still there. Most of the demons come to attack the Earth just for the sake of meaning, saying that if I want to tear off the roof and you don't let me, then I will secretly make a hole and get some small benefits. You can't stop it, right?

He really couldn't imagine that human magicians would be humble to angels and demons, and even willing to be their puppets, unconditionally offering everything about themselves and their compatriots.

This kind of thing would make anyone who has ever been colonized angry, and they would hate those damned traitors.

Of course, if this situation were far away, Strange would be angry and sarcastic at most, but if the two earths merged, he would be really anxious.

Only one earth came from the old earth of Marvel 616, and the demons in the universe did not follow. Strange had long discovered that he could not contact Vishanti, but in fact, he could contact these demons less often, and most of the time he had to wait for them to contact him.

Strange thought Vishanti was just busy and had no time to answer the phone. After listening to Bruce's story, he realized that the demons in this universe had changed their team and could no longer be called demons, but the heavens and angels of hell.

And humans must be humble and negotiate with them to sign a contract in order to obtain a little pitiful magic power.

When tracking Constantine before, Strange found that the other party's methods were very fancy, but still could not escape one word, that is, poor.

If you can kneel down to gain wealth and glory, that's fine, but if you can't even make money kneeling, what's the point of kneeling? Besides, Kamar-Taj's style for many years has been to make money standing up.

Strange's heart sank heavily, but he still stared at Bruce in silence, and Bruce continued to speak.

"But this is not an unsolvable deadlock. The guy you saw, Constantine, is a beneficiary of this system to some extent."

Strange frowned. He didn't quite understand what Bruce meant. Bruce walked to his own operating table, leaned against it and said, "He is a black box. For some reason, angels and demons cannot check how much power is stored in his body."

"According to the rules of this cosmic magic system, the biggest creditor during his lifetime will obtain the magician's soul and the remaining power in his body after his death. In other words, all angels and demons can only blindly cast their votes on Constantine and hope that they will be the biggest creditor. That creditor, the winner takes all. "

Strange had reacted a little, but there were still some things he hadn't sorted out. He squinted his eyes and looked at Bruce. Bruce nodded and said, "Of course, the fusion of two small earths in the endless universe cannot be announced to the world. The names of outsiders like you are not registered in heaven and hell at all."

"And the higher-level computer administrator, although we don't know who he is yet, he obviously has no right to write your names into the underlying system. You don't belong here."

Bruce's words obviously implied many hints. Strange didn't understand, but he could understand the literal meaning-the wizards of Kamar-Taj are also black boxes.

And their black box level is probably higher than Constantine, because they have no isotopes in these universes, all of them are new faces. When they first appeared, angels and demons would definitely think they were novice wizards, and this alone could deceive a lot of energy.

Strange immediately realized what the other party was going to do, and understood that this was the fundamental purpose of Bruce's tricking him here.

"Nick is in the same group with you?" Strange also realized that it was probably the mysterious Bruce Wayne who contacted Nick first, and Nick agreed to his plan. The two of them worked together to call Bruce Wayne here on the pretext that he needed treatment.

This is an excellent place for negotiations, because he is completely free of magical attributes. Even if Strange is let in by the agents, other people who are watching Wayne will only think that Nick wants to intervene in Gotham's power struggle, and it has nothing to do with magic.

Strange felt a little shaken, not because of Bruce, but precisely because of Nick Fury.

In fact, he had long felt that Nick was a little wrong. It's not that he has become worse, but that he has become a little too powerful.

Recently, the toughness of SHIELD has attracted everyone's attention. First, it beat Kingpin without any ability to fight back, and then chased Owl to a mess. It has a strong presence on both earths, and Nick Fury has become synonymous with hawks.

Isn't this a coincidence? Strange is also a hawk.

He was not very good as the Sorcerer Supreme, which did not mean that he was not strong enough, but precisely because he was too strong, or paranoid and extreme, but not as good as the Ancient One, so he was leaking air from both ends and was restricted everywhere.

People always appreciate and trust people who have the same style and ideas as themselves. If Nick also agrees with the idea of ​​this man named Wayne, then it may be feasible.

Thinking about the problems of the current cosmic magic system that Bruce mentioned before, Strange was more shaken.

He absolutely could not accept that the wizards became beggar dogs under the feet of angels and demons, let alone being manipulated by others and becoming the leader of the second devils.

But the original demon god no longer exists. If you want power, you can only get it from angels and demons. It is obviously unrealistic to overthrow heaven and hell with people like Kamar-Taj.

It is difficult to overthrow the system they established on Earth, because they have to deal with the traditional wizards of DC. These second devils who have been kneeling for a long time can't stand up just by saying.

If your fist is not big enough, everything is useless. Strange has a deep understanding of this.

At this time, Bruce went further and said: "The magic system here is even worse, which also means that the creditors here have no bottom line. As long as you can pay the price, they dare to do anything."

"There are no rules and regulations, no legal system, no scruples, no taboos. They care less about the unchangeable results of the established fate line than anyone else, which means that as long as you want, all regrets can be made up."

Strange froze.

Bruce snapped his fingers and said: "I forgot to introduce myself. The reason why I can do everything you see in front of you, that is, my body is lying on the bed, and my soul is still floating here and talking to you safely, is because I am actually an angel."

Strange widened his eyes, with an expression of "Are you kidding me?"

"To verify what I said, we can sign a simple treaty, which will at least let you understand the process of signing treaties in this world. This is what I said before. We can talk about the conditions."

Strange's heart beat violently for the last sentence he said before. He knew who all his extremes and paranoia were given to. He had given up, but that was only in the past.

"What conditions?" He asked with a dry mouth.

Bruce's eyes fell on Strange's hand, and he said, "I can heal your arm, guaranteeing that there will be no sequelae, and let you become God's Hand again."

"What's the price?"

"Tell everyone in the name of God's Hand that you can save me, and then perform an operation of at least 20 hours to provide me with an alibi."
