Let’s go back to earlier today.
Strange went to Hydra's base in Brooklyn, ready to destroy the conspirators as planned.
When he actually entered the base, he found that everything here had been emptied. Just when he thought the operation had failed and was about to inform Stark, an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly struck him from the void.
As the Supreme Sorcerer, he has always been very sensitive to unstable factors in the world, and today this feeling is extremely strong, which is rare in recent times.
He entered into a state of meditation on the spot, crossed his hands and opened the Eye of Agamotto on his chest, trying to catch a hint of inspiration from the turbulence of time and space. After a moment, he opened his eyes in panic.
Strange saw a horrible possibility.
The world turned into a scarlet land, tall buildings were dilapidated, creatures were decaying, there were ruins and fire, mud and filth everywhere.
Huge flesh and blood tissues are interwoven into a web, taking root in the old city. They corrode everything, like ivy, occupying streets and buildings of all sizes, and are still spreading to further away.
The remaining humans turned into the walking dead, living with snakes, insects, rats and ants, and competing for food with jackals, wolves and dogs. They were dressed in tattered clothes and staggered among the ruins, trying to avoid the inescapable web of flesh and blood, but were eventually entangled, imprisoned, dissolved, and turned into blood food.
When Strange looked up along that terrifying vein, he saw a towering tree above the city. Its trunk was like thick muscles, its hanging vines were like pulsating blood vessels, and its crown...
Its crown is a terrifying human face.
And the entire city is providing nutrients for it.
"call-"
Strange stepped back from the prophetic scene.
He had never foreseen such a horrible future.
And the starting point of all this is this inconspicuous Hydra stronghold.
What exactly happened here
He became alert in an instant and began to try to rewind the time here.
Finally, deep in the cave, he found an ice coffin.
In the ice coffin, a weak old man was lying inside, with various tubes and electrodes inserted into his body, and he seemed to be barely maintaining his life.
However, among the many tubes, Strange saw the blue one at a glance, which was continuously transporting active nanomolecules into the old man's body.
Under the influence of this, his body seemed to be boiling beneath the skin, surging constantly. It must be his flesh and blood breaking down and rebuilding.
At this moment, a researcher hurried over and unplugged the tubes and electrodes one by one. He seemed to be in a hurry to transport the ice coffin.
However, it was during this process that the balance in the old man's body was broken. The surging blood and flesh broke through his skin, devouring his intact parts, and quickly turned him into a scarlet man.
Only his head did not change. It seemed that a circulatory system had been used to separate it from the body's internal circulation, so it was not affected by the nanomolecules.
However, the moment Strange saw his face, he was stunned.
The face of the old man in the ice coffin is exactly the face on the tree of flesh and blood in the prophecy!
What happened next surprised him even more.
The bloody man suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand to smash the ice coffin, and sat up again under the horrified eyes of the researchers.
He moved his lips, as if he said something, his face full of joy.
But opposite him, the researcher became more and more frightened.
Suddenly, the bloody man's hand was raised at a strange angle, and it quickly stretched and grew larger, shaped like an irregular tentacle. The next moment, it actually wrapped the researcher tightly.
The man struggled in his flesh, blood and fascia, but to no avail. He finally stopped moving and quickly deflated like a deflated ball.
In the end, only one piece of clothing was left.
At the same time, the hideous tentacles began to retract and gradually turned into the shape of human arms, but the strange thing was that a layer of white coat gradually grew on it.
It was exactly the same as the one that fell on the ground.
In fact, it wasn't just the white coat that was exactly the same - the old man, or the bloody man, had completely turned into the appearance of the disappeared researcher.
He smiled eerily at the empty room, like a demon realizing his own power.
Strange stared at the scene carefully, not daring to miss anything.
He inevitably thought of the scenes in the prophecy, the powerless humans, the rampant tentacles, which seemed to overlap with the scene before his eyes.
This old man is the blood tree of the future!
Strange's eyebrows couldn't stop twitching, he had to stop all this.
So there was that scene where he chased the other person on the street.
The target was quite cunning. After realizing that he was being chased, he kept using his strange ability to absorb passers-by, changing his appearance, and escaping danger again and again.
In the process, he also demonstrated other horrific abilities.
Anyone he touches will be implanted with a flesh and blood seed. This seed is like a time bomb that can explode from the body at any time and place. After absorbing all nutrients in a short period of time, it will turn that person into a biological bomb with countless hard tentacles.
Strange had witnessed such scenes many times. Dark red tentacles burst out from the victim's body and pierced into the ground and walls, exactly the same as the scene in the prophecy.
Not only that, he also discovered that as the blood man continued to absorb fresh blood and flesh, his body became more and more muscular. He originally was just the size of a hunchbacked old man, but now he has the physique of a fighting athlete.
This made Strange even more worried. The other party might still have the ability to evolve. If this was true, then the end point of his evolution would be clear—the giant tree that covered the entire city!
Cold sweat had already appeared on Strange's forehead. He drew the golden circle again, preparing to go to the next place to intercept the target.
But at this moment, a strange premonition emerged and made him stop.
He felt as if he was being stared at.
Soon, a "Wuhu" sound appeared behind him, and then he saw a red guy flying towards him.
Spider-Man? He came to support me? Could it be him
Then he shook his head and looked towards the horizon. The strange feeling did not come from the little spider, but from the area he was looking at.
His brows began to frown, and the ring in his hand began to glow.
"Hey! Doc, we're here to help you!"
Ant-Man's voice suddenly appeared from there.
This made Strange even more suspicious.
At this moment, Ant-Man was floating in the air - this was obviously not something he could do, there must be something beside him that had disappeared.
Strange guessed.
He squinted his eyes and looked over there, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure slowly emerging.
"It's nice to see you again, Doctor Strange."
After removing the Disillusionment Curse, Lin En clenched his wand and greeted the horse-faced wizard who had always disliked him.
But soon, his gaze passed over the other person and looked behind him.
This... Prototype
