The black magic lines on the puppet's cheeks were like rooted hairs, starting from the neck and climbing downward, spreading all over the body in the blink of an eye.

A black glimmer lit up on the magic pattern, forming an eggshell-shaped shield that enveloped the puppet entirely.

Then, the puppet's skin completely changed from pale to dark blue, and its already clumsy body shrank by a third, as if only the outer layer of stiff muscles was left in its body except for the bones.

The first time he saw another ancient one appear, Dormammu took a defensive position.

It wasn't that he was afraid of anything, but he remembered that he was here to listen to the reality of the Ancient One, not to fight fiercely.

Proactive action is a way to be tempted, as is passive defense.

This flesh eroded by the dark forces is nothing more than a flesh puppet that has even erased its self-consciousness and is simply used to carry the arrival of his consciousness, and the only purpose of coming here to stop the Ancient One is to send him to death.

"You can summon yourself in the tributary of time to 'now'?"

Dormammu looked at the other Ancient One who appeared behind him, his expression inexplicable.

Even if the puppet that came to consciousness had its vocal cords dry and withered and its voice hoarse and unpleasant due to the erosion of dark power, it still did not affect the surprise of the "Lord of Darkness" that Gu Yi could hear from the tone of his voice.

"No, no, I didn't perceive the power of darkness from her, she's not you!"

It was only a brief moment of distraction before Dormammu sensed something suspicious.

The mist swirled between the wizened claws, turning into a black iron chisel that was grasped by the puppet in his hand.

The cloudy glass beads of glass beads filled with phlegm stared at the new Ancient One, and he planned to test the other party's color to determine whether the "Supreme Mage" had really improved in battle, mastered the new methods of time use, or was simply bluffing.

"She's certainly not the future I might be. ”

The original Gu Yi explained with a smile, and a golden flame ball appeared in his palm.

Ignoring the dark golem that suddenly appeared behind Shinkoichi and stabbed her back with the iron hammer in his hand, the golden flame ball in his palm turned into a fusiform missile and shot at the newly appeared Koichi's location, looking like Dormammu was pinching her.

An invisible and colorless ring of airflow appeared on the waist of the new ancient one, spreading rapidly in all directions.

The dark golem that attacked her seemed to hit an invisible force field head-on and was thrown far away.

The protective shield that wrapped around the body but did not interfere with its own attacks was swept away, and if it weren't for the amazing defense of the dark cyan flesh, this blow would have been enough to make the dark golem look good.

"'Ring of Resistance'...... You ......"

Although it was part of his own consciousness that was manipulating, Dormammu knew in his heart that the dark puppet was far from being an opponent of the "Supreme Mage".

Otherwise, he would not have been blocked from the earth by the Ancient One until now, helpless to pull the planet that showed his humiliation into the dark realm and corroded.

It's not an opponent or an opponent, and being defeated without resistance like this is really beyond his expectations.

Now he is somewhat convinced that the other party is not someone else's impersonation.

The ancient one's signature spell has such strength.

Not to mention the other mages on the earth who are not able to make weapons, even the current Gu Yi is without the "Eye of Agomoto", I am afraid that it will not be able to reach this level.

But she did not have the fluctuations of dark power in her, which made Dormammu unable to completely confirm that the other party belonged to the same person as the woman who had stolen his power and was constantly corroded and tormented by dark power.

Wait, do you say......

An unbelievable speculation that could explain everything at the moment appeared in Dormammu's mind, making the "Lord of Darkness" look at the New Ancient One in disbelief in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to be so unsuccessful in the future, but it reassured me a lot. ”

The words that rang in the ears of the dark golem completely confirmed Dormammu's guess, and the Ancient One did not summon the future self in the tributary of time to the "present", but directly went against the river of time, pulling out the projection of the self that was at its peak in the past.

How is this possible?

More doubts came to mind, but before Dormammu could clear his mind and make the next step of the trial, the Ancient One's counterattack ended his journey to Earth once and for all.

The last picture of the feedback after the return of consciousness was that the fusiform golden flame-like missile made by the original ancient one was approaching the new ancient one, and she stretched out her finger to slowly draw a circle, leaving a blue standard ring at the front end of the missile's flight.

The missile that crashed into the ring disappeared like snow in the scorching sun.

Then, the dark golem's body ignited with golden flames, completely burning it into green smoke from the inside out.

"The Ancient One—"

Dormammu silently chanted the name that impressed him, giving up on his plans to invade Earth immediately.

......

After the death of the Dark Golem, a green halo emerges from the "Eye of Agamotto", enveloping the entire space.

This temporary parallel space, with indefinite location coordinates, was completely brought into the control of the Ancient One, and a deeper level of consciousness shielding was carried out, preventing anyone from prying inside.

After doing this, the ancient one looked at the new ancient one worriedly, and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Wang?"

"And-poof-"

I just wanted to say "It's okay", but the unbearable injury made Wang, who had changed into the image of the Ancient One, spit out a mouthful of pale golden blood, which meant that he was not only seriously injured physically, but also suffered a heavy blow to his spiritual consciousness and life origin.

His figure was hazy for a while, and the king, who could not maintain the change of body shape, returned to his original appearance.

However, unlike before, there were tiny cracks in his skin.

Inside the crack is not the flesh and blood in the impression, but a pitch-black hollow, like a cracked ceramic doll.

A dark purple halo erupted from the Ancient One's hand and brushed on the king's body, but to no avail.

After trying many times, even if he was unwilling, Gu Yi had no choice but to give up this purely wasteful of magic power.

Of course, she knew why Wang had become like this, it was not a wound, but the indelible radiation damage brought by high-intensity energy to flesh and blood, and the culprit was the "Cosmic Rubik's Cube" that was still hanging by Wang's waist and emitting a bright blue light.

At the same time, it was also the greatest contributor to Dormammu's failure to discover the king's cover-up and regard him as a projection of the Ancient One at the peak of his summoning to the 'present'.

Yes, the so-called "new tactics" are hoaxes against Dormammu from beginning to end.

The Ancient One did see in Olaf a more clever way to harness the power of the Eye of Agamotto, but it was only a flash of inspiration for the collision of minds, and it was as far away as a Himalayan mountain from turning into a real finished spell and combat method.
