Chapter 234: Ms. America

In a colorful and chaotic space filled with various architectural debris, Jack appeared from a portal onto a platform.

He had no idea why he was here or what this giant mummy-like octopus creature in front of him was.

The creature had several tentacles wrapped around a girl wearing a denim jacket, and the scene was a bit disturbing.

The creature's head opened its large mouth in front of the girl, and strands of light silver energy were being extracted from her and gradually absorbed into the monster.

Jack sensed that the energy inside the girl's body was very special, similar to the energy of the Space Stone.

Suddenly, the girl let out a cry of pain, and a pentagon-shaped portal appeared behind her.

"Oh, I see."

Seeing this scene, Jack laughed. He knew why he had suddenly ended up here.

The leaked energy from the girl had disrupted the balance between the barriers of the multiverse, causing his portal to connect to the wrong space.

That's right, here.

Seeing the pentagon-shaped portal and its ability to affect the barriers of the multiverse, Jack quickly thought of a character from a comic book.

It was none other than America Chavez, also known as Ms. America.

Ms. America had the ability to travel through the multiverse, and her iconic feature was the star-shaped portal.

That's why Jack recognized her at first glance.

However, for some reason, the octopus creature gave him a familiar feeling.

Just as he was about to get closer to get a better look, Jack was caught off guard when a huge suction force came from the star-shaped portal and pulled him into it.

Jack didn't resist and flew in the direction of Ms. America.

At the same time, several silver magical discs flew out from under the octopus and cut Ms. America free from its tentacles.

In an instant, she was sucked into the portal.

Seeing this scene, Jack looked down at the spot where the octopus had been, and someone he was very familiar with was also pulled into the portal.

"Things are getting more interesting."

He shook his head, sighed, and looked back one last time before going through the portal.

The octopus watched helplessly as its target escaped and let out an unwilling roar before charging into the portal as well.

In a blood-red space, a woman sitting cross-legged opened her eyes.

"Darn it! So close! Damn you, Doctor Strange!"

She cursed angrily and then extended her hand, summoning a large, dark, and ominous book.

"But it doesn't matter, she has arrived, and I will soon succeed!"

...

The scenery in front of him shifted and changed.

When the feeling of solid ground beneath his feet returned, Jack found himself on a rooftop in a new universe.

"Who are you?"

A startled voice came from behind, and Jack turned around to see America Chavez, also known as Ms. America, looking at him cautiously.

In her hand... she was holding a toilet brush?

"Relax, miss, I'm not a bad guy."

Jack waved his hand and smiled kindly, but the first thing that caught his eye was something under her feet.

"Ah, poor Doctor Strange."

Without paying much attention to America, Jack walked right over and knelt down to look at this Doctor Strange variant's dead body.

The multiverse is truly a fascinating place.

He had encountered a female version of Bucky and a trio of princesses before. But this Doctor Strange was very different from the one he knew, even though he was not a woman.

He seemed more powerful, but his death seemed to happen quickly.

"Hiss!"

Faint distortion sounds echoed in the surrounding space, and Jack recognized the sound.

It meant that something was tearing through space and approaching.

As soon as America heard the sound, her normally wheat-colored skin turned pale.

Without hesitation, she ran away, but not before finding a piece of cloth to hide Doctor Strange's body.

America ran quickly and did not even look back at Jack. He was not as important to her as her own life, even if he was handsome.

Meanwhile, just five minutes after she had run off, the sky suddenly split open, and a huge octopus with one eye crawled out and headed in the same direction as America.

"...So ugly."

Jack looked at the retreating, one-eyed octopus with disgust. Its eye was so big that it probably had nothing but eyes and tentacles.

It's worth mentioning that the one-eyed octopus and the octopus creature he saw earlier had a similar aura, so they must be connected.

They were chasing after Ms. America, clearly trying to take advantage of her ability to travel through multiple universes.

As for their purpose, Jack wasn't sure.

He decided to watch and wait to see what would happen.

After all, this was New York, and if it was New York, that person must be here, and he would definitely come.

So, Jack quietly followed.

On the other side, in a hall located at the top of a building...

Doctor Strange, dressed in a stylish suit, with slicked-back hair and a well-groomed beard, stood among the formally dressed men and women attending a wedding.

The hall was filled with many guests, but today's main character was not Doctor Strange.

It was his ex-girlfriend, Christine, getting married, and the groom was not him either.

Doctor Strange could accept this result.

Although he always believed that if he hadn't been snapped out by Thanos for five years, Christine would not have married this man.

But... maybe she wouldn't have married him either.

He knew very well that since Christine chose to break up with him, she would never return to him.

The doors of the hall were pushed open, and Doctor Strange looked in the direction of the noise.

Christine, wearing a pure white wedding dress, held flowers and walked gracefully towards the front.

Her eyes were set on her future husband in front of the priest, completely ignoring her ex-boyfriend standing out in the crowd.

Doctor Strange's expression froze for a moment as he realized this, then he understood what it meant, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

She was still the same as before.

...

Behind the hall was the banquet hall, where the newlyweds celebrated with a grand feast and received blessings from friends and family.

Doctor Strange stood alone in a corner, drinking alone, feeling out of place in the atmosphere around him.

He couldn't even remember the last time he attended a banquet, except maybe for Kamar-Taj's full moon gathering.

Just now, his ex-girlfriend Christine had a conversation with him, basically telling him to let go of the past and explaining why they could never be together.

In the end, they were not from the same world, destined not to be together.

Feeling a bit suffocated, Doctor Strange held his glass and went to the balcony for some fresh air.

The cool breeze helped to relax his mind a little.

After another sip of his Martini, he felt much better.

"Hmm?"

As he was about to take another sip, Doctor Strange noticed some chaos happening on the street below.

Panicked people were running in all directions, trying to escape the area.

On the empty street, it looked like something was causing a lot of damage, but weirdly, no one could see it.

Seeing this scene, Doctor Strange's expression turned serious. He quickly handed his glass to a waiter, jumped over the fence, and jumped off the high building.

Doctor Strange enters the scene.
