Kryptonian: Man of Steel

"No, what happened?"

Dormam's roar echoed in the endless darkness, his voice full of disbelief and anger.

As the master of the dark dimension, he had never encountered such a strange situation.

Every time, when he gathered all his strength and intended to destroy Strange and Wanda in front of him, he found himself as if being pulled by an invisible force and instantly returned to the initial attack position. Sometimes, this force would even send him back to a more unfavorable time and space node.

This force is the quantum time lock carefully arranged by Wanda and Strange.

In this time lock, the concept of time is completely subverted. It is no longer a linear flow in the traditional sense, but presents a superposition state of quantum states.

Every moment is like an ocean of infinite possibilities. Every decision and every action may lead to a new and unknown branch of the universe.

Every time Dormammu tries to escape, he is traveling in this endless quantum state, but in the end he will always be pulled back to the starting point by some subtle quantum connection, as if an invisible hand is ruthlessly fiddling with the wheel of fate.

What makes Dormammu even more desperate is that this cycle is not a simple repetition. Every attempt to escape is accompanied by subtle changes in the quantum state.

Although these changes are subtle, they are enough to make the escape path more complicated and elusive.

Dormammu found himself like a mouse trapped in a maze. Every time he tried to find the exit, he always returned to the starting point. The walls of the maze were interwoven with countless possible futures and pasts.

Usually, in our universe, time is regarded as a one-way river flowing from the past to the future, but in the quantum time lock, time presents a puzzling superposition of quantum states.

This means that every moment is no longer a single definite one, but contains countless possible futures and pasts interwoven.

Every time Dormammu tries to break through this cycle, he seems to have entered a maze with infinite branches, and every choice leads to the same origin, but is so subtly different.

This characteristic of the quantum state makes Dormammu's escape efforts futile.

Every attempt, even the smallest movement, will trigger subtle changes in the quantum state. These changes accumulate, making each "restart" like looking for the only exit in an intricate web, and that web is constantly weaving and deforming itself.

And Wanda, the young witch with chaos magic, is the key to this quantum time lock.

Her magic, like an invisible hand, penetrates into the core of the dark dimension and interferes with the unique energy structures there.

These energy structures are not microscopic particles in the traditional sense, but are unique to the dark dimension and exist beyond conventional physical cognition.

These energy structures, if described in scientific terms, can be analogous to the "vacuum fluctuations" in quantum field theory, but their performance in the dark dimension is much more complicated, because they not only affect the curvature of space, but also directly relate to the flow of time.

Through her magic, Wanda actually intervenes in these energy structures at the microscopic level, thereby indirectly affecting the control of time by the dark dimension.

Although this intervention seems small, it is enough to make Dormammu's absolute control over time fragile, as if walking on a solid ice surface that may break at any time.

Originally, Dormammu, as the master of the dark dimension, has absolute control over the flow of time and can easily control the passage of time and even reverse the direction of time.

However, under the influence of Wanda's magic, the flow of time becomes like a stirred lake, undulating and elusive.     Dormammu's perception and control of time has also become fragile, like a bird that has lost its wings and can no longer soar in the sky.

"Success!"

Wanda and Strange looked at each other, with the joy of victory in their eyes.

They knew that as long as Wanda's chaos magic continued to affect the "quantum" in the dark dimension, Dormammu would never have the hope of breaking free.

The "quantum" here, although a scientific concept from the real universe, did not originally exist in the dark dimension.

However, under the "idealistic" effect of Wanda's chaos magic, this concept was given life and became a new and incredible existence in the dark dimension.

She could not understand the mathematical and physical principles behind the complex concept of "quantum", but Strange tried to explain it to her in the simplest way: quantum is the basic unit of everything in the universe. They exist in a superposition state of both existence and non-existence, and they "choose" a certain state until they are observed.

Although Wanda cannot fully grasp these theories, she has integrated this concept into her chaos magic in an almost intuitive way.

After all, she can turn her will into reality.

In Wanda's world, as long as she believes and as long as she desires, even the most incredible things can happen.

Wanda's approach is undoubtedly an idealistic interpretation of the concept of "quantum".

She did not really master the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics, nor did she deeply understand the puzzling wave functions, probability amplitudes and uncertainty principles.

But she used her will and magic to create "quantum" phenomena that did not originally exist in the dark dimension.

It's like when God created the world, he said, "I said, let there be light," and then light appeared. Wanda used her magic to say, "I said, let there be quantum," and so, in the dark dimension, a new "quantum" phenomenon that violated its essential laws was "ideally" created.

These quanta interacted with the energy structure of the dark dimension in a wonderful way to form this quantum time lock.

It is estimated that when the two of them returned to the real universe and learned about Kamar-Taj's records of dimensional space and quantum mechanics in detail, they would be shocked and sweat.

They will find that they almost died without knowing it.

They realized that they may have inadvertently touched the most delicate balance in the universe and created a rift that may cause conflict between dimensions.

Although the "quantum" phenomenon in the dark dimension temporarily trapped Dormammu, it may also become a bridge connecting two completely different worlds, triggering a series of unpredictable consequences.

The dark dimension, as a multiverse space outside the real universe, follows completely different physical laws and rules. Here, "dark energy" is the only real entity, which constitutes the cornerstone and essence of the dark dimension.
