American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

[Time Gem Fragments (4/9)]

Scanning the words in front of him, the existence of the four Time Gem fragments gave Colin great confidence.

Strange became what he is now, of course, because he himself went astray, but also because of the power of the Time Gem fragments.

The power of just one Time Gem fragment has given Strange the almost terrifying power he has now, not to mention that Colin now has four Time Gem fragments in his hands, almost half of the power of the Time Gem.

Although the existence of these gem fragments cannot help Colin directly defeat the purple Strange who has absorbed a large number of magical creatures and turned into a dimensional monster, it can provide him with more time to strive for the possibility of becoming powerful.

…

"Roar——"

Coming out of Banner's body, the Hulk let out a deafening roar.

Driven by instinct, it rushed towards the huge body of Strange in front of it, which was composed of infinite magical power, without hesitation.

"Stupid green bug."

Looking at the Hulk rushing towards him, a trace of disdain flashed across Strange's purple eyes. He raised his palm slightly, and then a cage formed by countless magic circles instantly appeared beside Hulk and froze him in mid-air. Reaching out his arm and gently picking up the Hulk in the magic cage, Strange looked down at the roaring Hulk in the cage, slowly opened his mouth and was about to swallow him into his mouth.

Whoosh--

Just as the Hulk was about to fall into his mouth, two red high-temperature beams instantly appeared on Strange's arms, neatly cutting it and the Hulk's palm into two.

Looking down at his wrist that was cut off by [Heat Vision], Strange's expression did not change at all. Due to the absorption of a large number of magical creatures, his body has completely changed, from the original flesh and blood body to a creature that is almost a semi-magical element, so there is not a trace of blood on his wound cut by Colin.

At the same time, under Strange's gaze, twisted purple worms appeared one after another at the broken wrist. They entangled and merged together to form a new palm on the broken arm.

Moving the regrown palm, Strange ignored Hulk who was rescued from the magic cage by Dark Doctor Strange and looked at Colin.

"It seems that you are more special than others."

From Colin, Purple Strange sensed some unknown power. Even Strange, who had absorbed countless dimensional magic creatures, was attracted by this power.

"I can feel that if I can absorb your power, I will become more powerful."

The power of countless dimensional magic creatures has long distorted Strange's thinking. Under the temptation of powerful power, he opened his mouth without hesitation, and a huge magic circle instantly emerged from his mouth, generating a terrifying suction force.

In the dimensional space, Colin stood motionless, relying on his own powerful power to resist the pulling force in the magic circle.

[Contact a special twisted time node, collect a large number of time fragments x400]

Scanning the vague hints on the text, Colin looked up at Strange's huge and twisted body and made a statement in a calm tone.

"This is a battle that has been destined to end from the beginning, because time is on my side."

As the voice fell, he activated the power of the time gem fragment on his body without hesitation.

[Time Split]

This is the ability of the time gem fragment that Colin got from Tony Stark in Stark City. It is with the power of this gem fragment that Tony Stark can continue to produce one after another in his consciousness in a vegetative state, or it should be said that he can split himself in countless timelines.

After obtaining this time gem fragment, Colin also has this time split ability.

In Strange's purple dimension world, with the activation of the power of the time gem fragment, Colin can clearly sense that the consciousness of 'himself' split from a timeline is being pulled to the positive world.

This feeling of being split from the timeline is extremely special, as if there are two of me appearing in completely different worlds. Unlike Tony Stark's completely unconscious split in a vegetative state, Colin can vaguely sense the movements of himself in another timeline, and can even convey his inner thoughts to the other party.

Of course, in this state, the burden on the brain of the user of the gem fragment ability is also more severe.

Fortunately, the existence of [super brain power] helps Colin solve this problem well.

Sensing that the self in the positive world began to act, Colin did not stop his actions. On the contrary, he continued to use the power of the time gem fragment to split himself from more timelines.

In order to obtain the power to fight against or even defeat Strange in the purple dimension world, it is not enough to rely on the [faith] of the positive world. He also needs to collect more [time fragments], not just in this world.

"Unfortunately, the fragment of the time gem in my hand does not have the ability to travel to other dimensional worlds."

Except for the gem fragments that connect to the real world, whether it is the ability to erase time obtained from the Red Skull or the power of Apocalypse to pollute the timeline, they do not have the ability to help Colin travel to other dimensional worlds. Fortunately, Colin was prepared for this.

"Doctor, I need your help..."

Although he does not have the ability to travel through dimensions, someone among the Avengers happens to have it.

…

Colin's consciousness was constantly sinking as he was surrounded by layers of green light. Countless figures were changing, laughing or wailing, quarreling or fighting. These flashing pictures were extremely vague, but occasionally there would be some clear pictures in Colin's mind. paused briefly in his consciousness.

In these temporary images, Colin saw the figure of Doctor Strange emerging from them. He was holding a gem fragment that shone with faint green light. There seemed to be countless images flickering in the fragment.

Then the scene changed, and Doctor Strange appeared in a library. His figure kept flashing around the library, as if he was trying to find something, and finally found a book with a mouth printed on the cover. Above, Doctor Strange seemed to have found what he was looking for, and his frown suddenly relaxed.

As this picture appeared, the scenes in Colin's consciousness flashed more and more frequently. In the next picture, various different magical creatures began to appear. Doctor Strange began to use the magic he learned from the magician to The power of these creatures is absorbed into one's own body.

As more magical creatures are absorbed, Doctor Strange's appearance gradually becomes distorted and inhuman. When the last magical creature in the picture, which is as huge as a mountain, is absorbed into Doctor Strange's body, the powerful magical power begins. The explosion on his body rendered the entire world a deep purple hue, and the objects Doctor Strange absorbed began to change from creatures in this world to selves in other dimensions.

"I am you, Strange!"

At the end of the scene, Doctor Strange spoke in a tone full of repressed greed to Doctor Strange from other worlds who had been lured to the purple dimension by him.

…

"So, is this the ability of the time stone fragment in Strange's hand in the purple dimension?"

In the real world, Colin opened his eyes and felt himself in Mohu in another dimension, feeling quite strange in his heart.

Recalling the scenes he saw when his consciousness fell, there is no doubt that Doctor Strange, who had obtained the fragment, must have seen something in it, which made him start looking for ways to become stronger without hesitation.

However, as his abilities continued to grow, Doctor Strange himself gradually became lost in the process. In the end, although he had the powerful power to control an entire dimension, he permanently turned into a complete monster.

"I wonder, is Strange in this state a match for Thanos?"

The reason that caused Doctor Strange to become stronger despite everything was obviously Thanos, who was cleaning up the universe.

In order to gain the power to fight Thanos, Strange did not hesitate to turn himself into a monster, but thinking of the nearly complete Infinity Gauntlet in Thanos' hands, Colin responded with pessimistic thoughts.

"The time gap is even bigger..."

Silently suppressing his inner thoughts and feeling the flow of time in the two worlds, Colin in the real world had an idea in his mind.

The speed of time formed between dimensions gave him more time to collect [Faith]. At the same time, the multi-line operation method also gave Colin more initiative in combat, not only against Strange. And Thanos.

From the moment the fragment of the Time Stone appeared on his body, there was no possibility of reconciliation between him and Thanos.

Unless he is willing to give up the fragment of the Time Stone in his hand, this also means that Colin gives up the ability that he finally unlocked.

So, to a certain extent, there is not much difference between me and Strange in the purple dimension. The only choice is to continue to become stronger and defeat Thanos.

Although the result was the same, Colin was obviously much luckier than Doctor Strange in that world in the process of obtaining power.

Although the Time Stone fragment on his body did not directly give him great power, it gave him the opportunity to strengthen bit by bit, so that he would not become like Strange because he absorbed power that did not belong to him without restraint. Become a monster that has lost its sense of autonomy.

"Whether it's the fragments of the Time Stone or the unlocked power, only what you hold firmly in your hands is yours."

[Golden Seal (6820/10000)]

Apocalypse and Tony Stark's time stone fragments provided Colin with a large number of [time fragments], and also gave him more confidence to upgrade the mark to the [gold] level.

"The problem of [Time Shards] will be solved by other Colins. What I need to do now is to collect enough [Faith] as quickly as possible..."

His eyes swept over the numbers behind the [Golden Seal] in front of him and landed on the line below [Faith]. Colin muttered something silently in his heart.

…

"It looks like I'm late."

Asgard (Asgard), in front of the ruined Gladsheim (Odin's Golden Palace).

Colin looked at the nearly ruined Asgard in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although the dimensional channel opened by Dark Doctor Strange can help him come to other worlds, the whole process is full of uncertainties. Even in the world behind some dimensional channels, even Colin, who has unlocked the ability of [Silver Seal], will die directly in it if he is not careful.

For example, in a previous dimensional world, it only took a few seconds to enter, and the whole world, including the entire universe, fell into final destruction. Under that kind of destruction, even Colin could not stop this process. He only persisted in the destruction for dozens of seconds before he also entered into extinction.

There are not a few dangerous dimensional worlds like this. It seems that it was a lucky period for the Avengers to be able to travel through multiple dimensions "safely and soundly" before. Among them, the time gem fragments on Colin obviously played a key role.

And Colin on these split timelines, without the protection of the time gem fragments, is obviously not so lucky.

Fortunately, although there is no protection of the time gem fragments, Colin also has other ways to ensure the safety of the dimension he finally entered.

The fragment of the time gem obtained from the Red Skull can erase the timeline that is unfavorable to him, and Colin directly used it on the dimensional crossing of other Colins on the split timeline.

Therefore, even after countless crossings, it makes no difference to the dark doctor who opened the magic circle of the dimensional channel. At the same time, Colin can also find the real goal he wants to go to in these countless dimensional shuttles.

Passing through the Asgard Palace with corpses everywhere, it has obviously been a while since this cruel battle. The flames all over the battlefield have been extinguished, and broken weapons and broken flags can be seen all over the ground.

However, the powerful bodies of the Asgardian warriors make them still maintain their last appearance before the end of the battle even if they have died. Countless Asgardian warriors charge forward regardless of life and death, but they cannot stop the opponent's pace. This is a nearly one-sided battle.

Flying over the broken Odinking Palace, Colin saw a lifeless figure sitting motionless in front of the throne of the collapsed palace. He curled up on the steps of the throne, with a numb look on his old and skinny face. Even Colin who appeared in Odinking Palace could not attract his attention at all.
