Chapter 235: A Message

"She still doesn't know how to use her powers? No wonder."

In the mostly empty streets, With its powerful tentacles, a one-eyed octopus was tearing everything in its way to pieces.

In front of the octopus, Miss America, who had just escaped, was once again being chased.

Meanwhile, Jack leaned against a food truck selling Mexican barbecue, and ate casually as he watched the cat and mouse game.

He didn't want to interfere. First, he had already sensed that Doctor Strange was nearby, so he didn't need to take action himself.

Secondly...

Looking at the yellow garbage bin crushed under his feet, Jack suddenly lost his appetite for barbecue and stomped on it again before walking away.

"Damn, it's disgusting!"

Jack walked up to the octopus, picked up a cold Coke from a fast food place across the street, and watched the show.

To be honest, Miss America was very skilled at avoiding danger.

The octopus had a dozen legs, but it couldn't catch up with America Chavez, who had only two legs.

The main reason was that she was too hard to catch, and the octopus seemed to want to keep her alive, so it did not use too much force.

America Chavez kept running into corners, depending on her years of experience to make it hard for the octopus to catch her.

This was also the reason Jack discovered that she couldn't use her own powers. She just needed to travel to different universes, and no matter how many legs the octopus creature had, it couldn't catch up with her.

But good luck always runs out eventually.

After being toyed with for a while, the octopus seemed to lose patience.

It made a loud roar, and its tentacles reached out to grab America Chavez. Unfortunately, she couldn't escape with just two legs.

As the tentacles were about to hit, America quickly looked around and saw a bus in front of her. In a flash, she jumped on board.

At that moment, Doctor Strange finally showed up, just in time.

And Jack, who was watching the show, also encountered a bit of trouble.

Hmm... perhaps "trouble" wasn't the right word, it should be called a misunderstanding.

Looking at the former Kamar-Taj librarian who walked out of the portal in front of him, Jack raised an eyebrow.

He could not help but laugh, especially when he saw that he was looking at him, and even made a magic shield.

"Who are you? What's your purpose on Earth?"

Wang looked at Jack with a vigilant expression, not even caring about the octopus fighting outside with Doctor Strange.

That's what made Jack curious.

Although he knew that the Sanctum Sanctorum could see the movements that happened when he crossed the barriers of the universe, But compared to him, that one-eyed octopus seemed more like the enemy.

And it seemed like Wang thought of him as more highly dangerous.

...although he was indeed dangerous.

Just as Jack was about to respond, there was a slight change in the battle outside.

Doctor Strange was whipped by the octopus and knocked into a nearby store, where he passed out.

Is this the Sorcerer Supreme?

Jack's slightly disdainful gaze made Wang turn his head to look at the ongoing battle outside.

He noticed that after Strange was down, he didn't care about Jack anymore and used his magic shield to confront the one-eyed creature.

After a fierce battle, during which Doctor Strange regained consciousness and joined the fight, He finally ended the fight by blinding the octopus creature's eye with a stick.

Inside a coffee shop on the street, Jack saw the battle end and was about to leave when another magic portal opened in front of him.

With Wang, Doctor Strange, and America Chavez, whose face showed that she wanted to resist but couldn't.

"Oh, it's you."

Seeing Jack, Doctor Strange visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do I have so many fans in the multiverse?"

Jack wasn't surprised by Doctor Strange's reaction, considering he had experienced it several times before.

"Before the Ancient One died, she mentioned you to me. She said I should treat you well if you ever came to our universe. She also asked me to deliver a message to you. God, if you hadn't shown up, I would have forgotten about it."

Doctor Strange grinned awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

After going through so much, he had almost forgotten the Ancient One's message.

If it weren't for seeing Jack, he probably wouldn't have remembered.

"A message?"

Jack raised an eyebrow, appearing somewhat surprised.

"Tell me, what is it?"

"Well... honestly, I'm not sure what it means either. I'll just directly repeat her words."

Doctor Strange cleared his throat and, in the middle of the curious gazes of Wong and America, calmly spoke a sentence.

"This is the Creator's problem, and it has nothing to do with us."

It seemed like a random sentence, and Wong, America, and even Jack were stunned for a moment before they realized what it meant.

"Heh, the Ancient One, oh, the Ancient One, you sure know how to surprise people."

Jack laughed and shook his head. He knew the meaning behind those words and what the Ancient One wanted to say.

It surprised him because it meant that the Ancient One of this universe knew he would come, knew what he would see after arriving in this world, and even understood his thoughts clearly.

See, the Ancient One said at first that no one could see his past or future. So how did she know he would come to see that thing for sure?

Moreover, this sentence had another meaning.

It is worth mentioning that even though Jack had been to many different timelines, none of them had that garbage bin except this one.

In other words, it was intentionally arranged by the Creator.

"Marvel is becoming more and more annoying."

Although he didn't know what had happened on Earth in his past life to make Marvel, or, rather, Disney so bossy, It was clear that they had done what they said.

But what was strange was that he had just searched the entire Earth and couldn't find the person with the surname Mu.

That was what made Jack unhappy.

He had nowhere to vent his frustrations.

"Stephen, who is he?"

Seeing Jack's ever-changing expression, Wong quietly asked Doctor Strange, though everyone could hear it.

"Don't say anything."

Doctor Strange's hands were sweaty as he looked straight at Jack.

He could not let his guard down because he remembered the serious warning the Ancient One gave him before she died.

"Alright."

After a while, Jack shook his head and sighed, saying,

"I'll give the Ancient One face and... not cause trouble for you."

Phew!

When hearing Jack's words, Doctor Strange finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully. "Thank you..."

"Don't rush to thank me. I might change my mind at any moment."

Jack chuckled, patting Doctor Strange's shoulder and looking at him with a playful yet serious gaze.

"But I'm more curious about whether you can survive until the day I change my mind."
