Ch. 36: Iruminati to no deai part 6
The scene shows that Strange and the Nanatsu no Taizai members are staring in disbelief, as is Karl Mordo, as most of the members of the Illuminati are ganging up on Loki upon realizing that he is the one who insulted them.
Meliodas whispered to Strange, saying that he finds it baffling that Loki ended up here, and noticed that Thor is not here, which the Sorcerer Supreme nodded and said that once things calm down he will explain to the Illuminati members why they came here by accident.
"So for now, you boys should calm down."
"Are you sure? I'm pretty sure we could…"
"Don't. I believe that everything is probably a misunderstanding. We should explain ourselves so as to prove that we aren't a threat."
"Are you sure about this…?"
"Yes. For the time being, we should keep our cool and see where this would lead to…"
"I…fine…"
"Good. Just stay calm,. Meliodas."
"…"
Mordo appeared to be suspicious towards Strange after hearing the whispering, but his attention shifts back to the rest of the Illuminati as the four members took turns in getting payback from Loki for insulting them in outrageous ways.
"DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU! CALLING ME A LESBIAN, ARE YOU?! I'M GOING TO USE MY PHOTON BLAST AND FRY YOUR DAMN BALLS!"
"SAYING THAT I'M A PLUS-SIZE VERSION OF HAYLEY ATWELL?! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT FOOLED BY THE LIKES OF YOU! I'LL KEEP HITTING YOU UNTIL MY SHIELD BREAKS YOUR HEAD, YOU DAMN BASTARD!"
"AND YOU EVEN CALLED MY WIFE A JESSICA ALBA IMITATION! I WON'T LET YOU INSULT MY WIFE LIKE THAT! AND I'M NOT AN IOAN GRUFFUDD LOOK-ALIKE!"
"Ow, ow, ow! Stop that, you damn mortals!"
"I'LL SMACK YOU WITH MY SHIELD! UNTIL YOUR HEAD EXPLODES!"
"I'LL HAVE YOUR BUTT VAPORIZED UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT!"
"AND I'LL STRETCH YOUR NO BODY TILL THERE'S NO BONES LEFT IN YOU!"
"Ow, ow, ow! Stop it already! You damn mortals…you dare assault a god?"
Xavier sighed as he uses his telepathy to calm his fellow Illuminati members down, reminding them that they have an urgent business to attend to, which the Illuminati members reluctantly ceased their assault, as they are still glaring at Loki, who now sports MULTIPLE LUMPS on his head and his face swelling with many bruises all over.
"You're lucky…"
"Don't think you're off the hook…"
"I have my eyes on you…"
"You better shut your damn mouth…"
"And you better make sure you won't say something stupid…"
"Insult me again and I'm going to kill you…"
"Me too…"
"Just you try it…"
As the other Illuminati members return to their seats, Mordo helps Loki up, telling him to stop whatever antics he is making as they do not like wasting time here, there Loki whispered to Mordo about something, and there Mordo stared wide-eyed, as Loki tricked Mordo into believing something, and there Mordo confronted Strange and grabbed him by his collar as he accuses Strange of charges that Loki tricked Mordo into believing.
"You sure have the guts, do you?"
"Huh?"
"You dare mock my ancestry? I won't let you make a mockery of my birth right!"
"Whoa-whoa-whoa…! What did I...?"
"You dare call me a Nigerian nincompoop? I will kill you right now!"
"I didn't…"
"Your alibi won't shield you this time!"
"H-hey…!"
The other Illuminati members rushes in and pulls Mordo back, urging him to calm down while they confronted Strange and demanded to know what he said to Mordo that caused him to blow a fuse, which Strange reiterated that he didn't say anything, but Loki approached the Illuminati members and lied to them, tricking them into thinking that Strange said something that INSULTED their PERSONAL BIOGRAPHY.
To Loki's amusement, it worked, as each of the Illuminati members took turns in grabbing Strange by his collar and shook him hard while threatening to harm him for the LOW-BLOW INSULTS that Strange supposedly hurled against them, much to Strange's disbelief, seeing that Loki fooled the Illuminati members into thinking that he insulted them.
"YOU DARE SAY THAT I HAD A SEX REALIGNMENT SURGERY TO LOOK LIKE CHRIS EVANS?! I WILL NOT ACCEPT SUCH INSULT!"
"SO YOU SAY THAT I'M AN ALBINO ON MY PRIVATE PART AND THAT MY "BUSH" IS WHITE?! NOW I'M REALLY GOING TO VAPORIZE YOU!"
"SO NOW YOU CLAIM THAT I HAD PLASTIC SURGERY SO I WOULD LOOK LIKE MILES TELLER AND CALL MY WIFE A KATE MARA REPLICA?! I'M GOING TO ENJOY BEATING YOU UP USING MY STRETCHING ABILITIES!"
"What? I didn't say that…!"
"DAMN YOU! I REPRESENT AMERICA! I WILL NOT LET YOU DESECRATE MY NAME LIKE THAT!"
"I'M GOING TO USE MY PHOTON BLAST IN FULL POWER! AND I'M GOING TO VAPORIZE YOUR "BUSH"!"
"YOU KEEP MY FAMILY OUT OF YOUR DAMN MOUTH!"
"Oh boy…Loki really is a headache…"
The scene shifts at the ASTRAL PLANE, where Loki is dancing in joy as he enjoyed tricking the Illuminati members into ganging up on the beleaguered Strange, but then the ASTRAL projection of Xavier appeared behind Loki and SMACKED him on the head, causing Loki to fall face-first to the ground, and there Xavier sternly warned Loki not to cause another ruckus or he will take him serious.
"A fair warning, Loki."
"…"
"I will not allow unnecessary dispute or violence happening here."
"…"
"And I order you to refrain from making lies and deceit…"
"…"
"And you know what would happen if you continue this foolishness…"
"…"
Back at the mortal plane, the other Illuminati members saw Loki sprawled on the floor, and there Xavier told his fellow illuminati members what really happened, and as Loki gets up, he sweat-dropped at seeing the Illuminati members glaring at him, and there they got VIOLENT and started to beat him up.
"YOU REALLY HAVE THE GALL TO SAY THAT…! HOW DARE SAY THAT I HAD A SEX REALIGNMENT SURGERY?! TO SAY THAT I WANTED TO LOOK LIKE CHRIS EVANS?! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR SUCH INSULT!"
"SO NOW YOU SAY THAT I'M HAIR DYE SO AS TO DYE MY "BUSH" COLORED WHITE?! NOW YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT! I'M REALLY GOING TO VAPORIZE YOU!"
"SO NOW YOU CLAIM THAT I HAD PLASTIC SURGERY SO I WOULD LOOK LIKE MILES TELLER AFTER SAYING THAT IM UGLIER THAN IOAN GRUFFUDD?! AND CALL MY WIFE A KATE MARA RIP-OFF AFTER DEEMING HER AN UGLY BETTY VERSION OF JESSICA ALBA?! I'M GOING TO ENJOY BEATING YOU UP USING MY STRETCHING ABILITIES!"
"Stop, you damn mortals! I didn't say that…!"
"DAMN YOU! I REPRESENT AMERICA! I WILL NOT LET YOU DESECRATE MY NAME AND IMAGE LIKE THAT! TAKE THIS! AND THAT!"
"I'M GOING TO USE MY PHOTON BLAST IN FULL POWER! AND I'M GOING TO VAPORIZE YOUR "BUSH"! HAVE AT YOU!"
"YOU KEEP MY FAMILY OUT OF YOUR DAMN MOUTH! AND HERE'S A SAMPLE!"
"AAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEE! STOP HITTING ME, YOU STUPID MORTALS…!"
Meliodas, King, Gowther and Ban sighed as they asked Strange if they should bust their way out of here, but we're told by Strange to be patient and wait, as they need to know what is going on here, and the Nanatsu no Taizai members reluctantly obliged and took Strange's advice.
"Easy, boys. Let's not lose our cool here. Let's listen to what they say first. Then we will consider our next move."
"Fine."
"If you say so…"
"Whatever."
"Be patient. We'll just have to prove that we're not bad guys."
"Fine."
"If you say so…"
"Whatever."
Xavier then telepathically urged his comrades to simmer down as they have business to attend to, and the Illuminati members reluctantly went back to their seats while Loki is sprawled on the floor, beaten up and sports several HUGE LUMPS on his head and his face was swelling with LOTS OF BRUISES and a pair of BLACK EYES.
There Mordo urged Xavier that the Doctor Strange here is the same as the Strange in this universe and thus must be executed immediately, which the main timeline version of Strange stared in disbelief and asked Mordo what he meant, which Mordo rebuked him saying that he is the same as this world's Strange, jabbing his finger at Strange's chest.
"You heard me!"
"Huh?"
"You're the same as him!"
"What…?"
"All the Doctor Strange from every multiverse are a threat!"
"Me…?"
"Don't play innocent!"
"…"
The other Illuminati members agreed and urged Xavier that the Doctor Strange that stood before them must be executed as he is a threat to all multiverse, which the Nanatsu no Taizai members glanced at each other and whispered that they may have stumbled into a hostile territory, and the four boys realized that Strange needs help and they may have to spring into action.
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
However, Xavier urged everyone to calm down and said that he has a feeling that this Strange is different from the one they executed, and there Xavier began to explain to Strange the reason why the Illuminati is wary towards him, though Mordo and the others stare at Strange with great contempt.
As Xavier explains, the Illuminati believe that Doctor Strange remains the greatest threat in the universe, revealing that their universe's counterpart of Strange had used the Darkhold to look for alternate ways to defeat Thanos. He found the Book of Vishanti, which the Illuminati used to kill Thanos on Titan. But Strange confessed that he had caused an incursion, an event in which a reality is destroyed, and thus volunteered to be executed to prevent further destruction.
However, Strange's actions had caused an Incursion, eradicating two whole universes entirely. Realizing the atrocities he had committed, Strange had surrendered himself to death, and knelt before Xavier and the rest of the team. Xavier told him he would miss him dearly, before Black Bolt stepped forwards and told him he was sorry. The power of his voice vaporized Strange, as Xavier shut his eyes in sorrow.
Xavier and his teammates later returned to Earth, where all people expressed their gratitude for their victory against the Mad Titan. However, to prevent humanity from losing faith in their heroes, Xavier and the rest of the Illuminati claimed that Strange sacrificed himself to stop Thanos, leading the people of the Earth to remember Strange as the greatest hero of his age. Xavier and the Illuminati later offered Karl Mordo to join the Illuminati's ranks to fill Strange's vacant place.
That is where the Nanatsu no Taizai members objected and said that not all universe's Doctor Strange are the same, and pointed out that if Strange here is really a threat he would have caused a lot of damage, and there King and Meliodas told Xavier the reason why they ended up here, as well as the fact that the Scarlet Witch is the current threat, which Xavier was starting to get swayed as he gives Meliodas and King a benefit of a doubt as Mordo and the others look on.
"Are you sure about what you say?"
"Yes!"
"We do!"
"And you vouch for the Doctor Strange who travelled with you here?"
"Yes."
"Its true!"
"Can you prove your claim?"
"Yes we can!"
"Of course!"
But Mordo doesn't trust the Nanatsu no Taizai members and insisted that the Doctor Strange here must be executed, which the other Illuminati members readily agreed and said that Strange is a threat like all the other counterparts, and urged Xavier that Strange be executed at immediately.
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
Xavier urged his fellow Illuminati members to calm down, saying that they should think about this carefully and give the Doctor Strange here a benefit of a doubt, seeing that what Meliodas said may be true, as he believed that the Strange here is not the same as this universe's version of Strange, but Mordo and the other Illuminati members are not receptive.
"We do not trust him! I insist that Strange must be executed!"
"Yes, execute him!"
"We cannot afford to be lenient! I say we should execute him now!"
"I agree! Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
"Execute him!"
