Chapter 397 Resurrection Ceremony, Lovers Reunited
"Christine!"
Doctor Strange's expression became incredibly excited the moment he saw the nurse. He seemed to forget to use magic, and ran towards her with all his might, shouting repeatedly:
"Christine!"
Connors stopped him, shaking his head and saying:
"You can't go there now."
Unlike Doctor Strange, who was so excited that he used magic to identify it, Connors clearly saw through his Athena's vision that it was just a false phantom brought back by Morian, the goddess of illusion.
It's likely that Wanda will need to use other magic or methods to bring Christine back to life, but sending Doctor Strange over now would definitely mess things up.
Before Connors could explain in detail, Doctor Strange had already grabbed his shoulders and was shaking him violently, tears streaming down his face.
"Get out of my way! Do you know how long I've waited for this moment! Let me through, let me see her, even if I die after seeing her, I'll do it!"
"Why-----
Connors sighed; he knew he couldn't persuade Strange now.
A red light gradually enlarged in his eyes, and Connors' Omega Ray pierced the air from his eyes, making two right-angle turns in front of Doctor Strange before flying straight toward Christine.
He wanted to help Wanda and speed up the process of resurrecting Christine.
But to Doctor Strange, this scene looked as if Connors was taking the opportunity to kill Christine.
Doctor Strange's eyes were red; he was angry.
Tentacles danced behind him, and the mysterious rings they wore sparked golden flames in the air as six thick, scarlet chains rattled and clattered as they hurtled toward Connors.
He had cast this spell before; it was called "Crimson Chains of Cytorak".
At the same time, Doctor Strange's hands were not idle either. He also formed a golden lightning bolt that was intertwined and constantly jumping, known as "Bosat's Lightning".
With a two-pronged approach, Doctor Strange seemed intent on subduing Connors in one fell swoop so he could return to Christine, his fiancée.
Just before the crimson chains and Bosat's lightning were about to strike Connors, an elegant voice rang out from the side:
"The Demon of Barriers!"
Zatanna reached out at the opportune moment, and a semi-transparent, earth-yellow barrier solidly protected Connors within it.
Crimson chains and golden lightning struck the magical barrier, creating ripples that seemed capable of breaking through the thin barrier, yet the barrier remained standing.
Zatanna's actions immediately caught Doctor Strange's attention. He looked at Zatanna with red eyes, made a hand seal once more, and then forcefully slammed his hands to the sides, with a "Ring of Laggardor" appearing on each of his hands.
"I have no intention of fighting you, please trust Connors." Zatanna stepped forward. "But you can't calm down right now, so you're intermittently frozen!"
A mirror appeared in front of Zatanna and hurtled toward Doctor Strange at an incredible speed. The instant it made contact with him, the mirror's thickness increased from a thin layer to just enough to envelop Doctor Strange, and it stopped.
Doctor Strange was frozen in place by Zatanna's "Freeze Time," and neither his dancing tentacles, his cloak, nor the golden sparks flashing on the Ring of Laggardor remained motionless.
"Why does he look so weak?" Zatanna asked Connors curiously.
"It's not that he's weak, it's that he never intended to really fight us." Connors took Zatanna's hand. "See the six gems on his cloak? Dr. Strange didn't even use those powers."
At this moment, Dr. Banner had just run to what he considered a safe distance when he turned around and saw Doctor Strange frozen in place.
After the Crimson Woman sat with Wanda, the Phantom Goddess Morian, who only brought back a projection, was almost beaten up by Wanda. The Phantom Goddess had no choice but to reluctantly dive back into the Crimson Vortex.
This time she returned a little later, but Christine seemed to wake up from a nightmare and took a deep breath; she had truly come back to life.
"Strange, watch out!"
Christine, who had just been resurrected, shouted something before she could even see her surroundings clearly, indicating that her memory was still stuck in the few seconds before the car accident.
After shouting her anxious words, Christine realized that something was wrong with her surroundings. She was sitting in the car with Strange, but now she was in a wasteland with not a single weed on the ground.
A few people stood scattered around, while her fiancé, Strange, stood motionless a short distance away, dressed in strange attire, like a specimen.
"Mollian, thank you for your cooperation."
Wanda spoke to the ethereal god, whose figure was slender and who was draped in a thin veil.
The other person snorted again, turned around, and disappeared.
"Zatanna, you can release Dr. Strange," Connors said to Zatanna.
"Thaw intermittently." Zatanna snapped her fingers, a moment that Wanda witnessed clearly.
A magician who can manipulate time so easily? Wanda twitched her fingers but didn't speak.
"You." Doctor Strange was freed from the frozen time. He only had time to utter one word before he saw someone running towards him on their knees out of the corner of his eye.
He instinctively turned around to look, and when he saw that it was Christine, his fiancée whom he had longed for day and night, the Ring of Raghadore on the man's hand immediately disappeared, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
One step, two steps.
Doctor Strange's steps trembled as well, but he still forced himself to move forward with his will and longing for Christine, inching forward until he finally started to jog, and then he charged madly toward Christine.
The torment he had endured before this moment no longer mattered; he would devour zombies, consume nuclear bombs, and swallow Ultron's machine army.
Everything Doctor Strange did was to make himself powerful, powerful enough to resurrect his lover.
As he ran towards Christine, the six slimy tentacles behind him retracted into his body, and the shadow on the ground began to twist and distort.
The crow with four wings and six eyes, the dragon with three heads, four legs and two wings, the ghost wearing a cloak, and the deer with countless legs like a centipede were finally fixed in the shadow of the normal human he should have had.
The two finally stood together, holding each other's hands with tears in their eyes. Their mouths were open, but they couldn't utter a single word.
"Mingming, I'm so moved I cried."
Deadpool put his arm around Wolverine's waist, buried his head in the old wolf's shoulder, and whimpered. Wolverine calmly moved Deadpool's arm away from him.
Dr. Banner jogged back to the group from three or four hundred meters away, and sighed softly as he watched the lovers reunite.
Connors set off fireworks all around them, and as Dr. Strange and Christine locked eyes and finally embraced, the fireworks exploded in the sky with a deafening roar.
