Earth 92133.
The universe has a poetic name: Joining Strange. It's not that he lost his hands but his heart. Simply put, this universe is the MCU universe, a variant of Earth 199999. In short, the reason Strange went to learn magic in this universe was not because his hands were crippled in a car accident, but because his lover Christine, who was in the same car, died in the accident.
This universe has thus created the incredibly powerful "Dark Oddity" in the "What If" animated series, capable of swallowing enough energy to destroy an entire galaxy in an instant. Of course, Peter isn't looking for him, but for someone else, someone who, theoretically, might be able to fight the Dark Oddity.
In a sense, this person is indeed the protagonist of this universe, but only half of it. After all, he is the Strange from another timeline, created by the Ancient One of this universe, or rather, the Strange who chose to let go of Christine.
"I'm not sure how long we can hold on, but it's clear that the world can't sustain itself for much longer."
The Iron Man, clad in a red and silver armor, looked around. He was Kang, the Conqueror of Earth 6311. Recruiting him into the team wasn't too difficult. All they had to do was tell him that the Avengers had defeated Kang on Earth 616, and this young man, eager to change his destiny, would join the team.
Recruiting him would probably be less difficult than recruiting the other half of Strange in this universe.
Just as they arrived at the entrance to the Sanctum Sanctorum, they saw the phantom of the Ancient One explaining the situation to Strange. Almost the instant the phantom of the Ancient One dissipated, half of Strange saw them.
"Why didn't you collapse? Ah, I know, you come from another reality."
Strange sighed helplessly, "I don't know why you've come to me, but I have to save the entire universe. Let's talk later, okay?"
"Mr. Strange, we have something very important to discuss—"
Peter interrupted Iron Boy's flustered introduction: "You've failed, Strange. Your universe is doomed to destruction, reduced to a space less than a study. We come not only from other realities, but also from the future. You can tell we're not lying, can't you?"
Strange stared at Peter for a moment: "So, in order to restore his own universe, he went to other multiverses again, right? So what you need isn't another Strange, but the same Strange, which is why you have to come to me—okay, but the problem is, what about our reality?"
Peter offered a solution: "We'll find a way together, Strange. If we can't find a way, then we'll send you back."
"Send them back to their deaths, ensuring a closed loop in time, understood?"
Strange rolled his eyes in exasperation, then sighed, as if resigned to his fate: "So, what exactly did that guy do?"
"Actually, the story begins with a higher-dimensional being—"
The reality around them seemed to have changed. Peter and Strange realized this, and then Godfather Thor slammed his hammer into the ground, unleashing a burst of violent lightning. Strange was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop, I said stop."
Okay, let's hurry up and go. We'll explain when we get somewhere else. Remember to bring me back, kids—"
Seeing this, Peter pulled Strange into the portal, and they returned to the wasteland universe. The other two teammates were also waiting there. Twilight Wolf was just sitting on the side drinking, while Punisher was checking the maintenance of his weapons.
As an old man, Thor went straight to drink with Logan. The Mjolnir he was using was from this wasteland universe. Although he claimed that he no longer needed Mjolnir, he picked it up when he saw that there was an unwanted Mjolnir in the wasteland universe.
In compensation, he will replenish Peter's World Tree Scepter with "Thor's Power"—which is actually Odin's Power with lightning properties.
"So the last one is Doctor Strange? What grand pronouncements did he make in his universe?"
"Well, I have an evil doppelganger in my universe who chose to destroy the whole world, and I was just about to fight him when you guys dragged me out."
Peter looked around at the group of people: an elderly, paranoid, one-eyed old man; an elderly, grumpy old man whose whole family had died; a grumpy killer who wasn't old but whose whole family had died; half (really only half) of the Sorcerer Supreme who had no special characteristics; and a teenager who wanted to turn over a new leaf and become a superhero, but would find that no matter where he looked, he would become a supervillain.
That's fantastic! I'm sure this team will dominate and win the Secret War.
Peter himself couldn't help but complain, and after thinking for a moment, he began to add: "In short, some people may still not quite understand what happened, so I'll explain what exactly happened here."
"A high-dimensional being called the Transcendent, who is almost omniscient and omnipotent, wanted to understand what shaped heroes and villains. So he turned a universe into a arena, piecing together the 'Battle Realm' from 52 fragments of Earth. He then invited heroes and villains from across the multiverse to form teams of six to compete in the Battle Realm for the so-called Transcendent Beacon. At the end of the competition, the team with the most beacons wins, and the Transcendent grants one wish to each member of the winning team."
After Peter finished speaking, Strange asked his first question: "What is the connection between his game and his purpose?"
"I don't know, and I care about it a lot."
Peter then received another question. Iron Boy asked Peter, "What wish do you intend to make this time, Mr. Parker?"
"I hope no bad people get the chance to have their wishes fulfilled, that's all."
The group quickly grasped the situation. Peter then produced the sphere that the Transcendent had emitted: "Time's almost up. We can go now. Using this sphere, we can head to the Battle Realm. Is everyone ready?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, except for Strange, who was unprepared. However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and nodded as well.
Peter activated the sphere in his hand, and with a flash of white light, Peter and his companions found themselves in an unfamiliar place—
No, that's not right. They know it all too well. This is modern New York, nothing more.
Everyone except Iron Boy looked around in surprise, their clothes transforming into those of ordinary people.
