Chapter 236: Black History, Small Book
"What the hell is going on? We've detected an unknown amount of energy! And what the hell is that hollow in the sky? Don't tell me your magic is out of control! Nick Fury watched as a picture appeared on the projection screen, and with a gloomy face, he once again applied for the link to the Mage King's ring communication. This time, the mage king did not refuse, and after connecting, Nick asked with a scowl on his face.
"It's Casillas!" There was a fierce battle and heavy panting from the Mage King's side, and he seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle with some opponent, and his voice was a little eager to answer.
"The mage who defected? What exactly did they do? Nick's heart instantly alarmed, and combined with the projected picture, the uneasiness in his heart expanded several times again.
"He's summoned Dormammu!" The Mage King shouted loudly.
Nick felt dizzy. He is no longer a novice who doesn't know anything, at least he still knows about the existence of Mephisto and Dormammu. There is information about them, and he also knows a little.
Dimension Invasion!
This is a very high-risk event in his cognition!
"What about the Ancient One?" Nick subconsciously thought of the Supreme Mage Gu Yi: "Didn't she say she wasn't here?" ”
There was silence on the Mage King's side for a while, and then, at Nick's urging, he said astringently, "The Supreme is dead, killed by Casillas." ”
This answer made Nick cold, and he subconsciously didn't want to believe it. He's seen the Ancient One, such a powerful person! How could someone who could be on an equal footing with the god-king Odin and the lord of the hell dimension, Mephisto, just die? He even thought for the first time that the Mage King was telling a joke that wasn't funny at all.
But soon, Nick corrected his mind and began to force himself to believe the bad news. At the same time, the brain is running at high speed, and it begins to think about all kinds of bad consequences, as well as ways to deal with them.
But after only a moment of reflection, Nick sadly realized that it seemed that his coping methods were of little use before a disaster of this magnitude. He relied on so many safe houses built by Greedy Mo in private, and he was not sure how much it would work in the face of a planetary disaster like a dimensional invasion.
"What about Luke? Hasn't he come back yet? After thinking about it, Nick thought of his trouble-solver, Luke. There is a way to find Luke first when he is indecided, even if sometimes he doesn't want to, he has to admit that asking Luke for help is the simplest and most effective way to solve troubles.
"Nope." The Mage King unsurprisingly gave Nick another terrible answer.
"I'll go with the captain and someone to help you." Nick began to pick and choose his mates and teammates. Before a disaster of this level, he couldn't make him sit and wait for judgment. Even at this moment, he even took out the pager that had never been activated. Although I don't know if the other party can catch up in time, and if they can drive Dormammu away when they arrive, they are still a fighting force.
"It's too late. Strange has rushed into the dark dimension. Now things have changed a bit. The Mage King's tone was so complicated for a moment that Nick couldn't grasp the true emotion from it. This made Nick clench his fists again.
If this disaster can be survived, he must tell Luke to strengthen the absolute defense of this planet! Equip more powerful gear! You can't put all your hopes in the mage's group.
……
Dark Dimension.
"Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate."
Stephen Strange, who had died for an unknown number of times, borrowed the power of the time loop of the Eye of Agamotto to stand up again and say the words that made Dormammu frown and upset.
The dark dimension transcends time, and Dormammu is not afraid of time that acts directly on him. And Master Strange understands this, so he cleverly applies the time loop to himself.
He set a cycle for himself, so every time he cycled, after Dormammu appeared, he passively followed Strange through the cycle. Every time Stephen dies, it is the beginning of a cycle. Dormammu can remember each cycle, but is always pulled into the next cycle by Strange.
He knew very well that he could undo the time loop by finding a way to kill Strange's main cause of the cycle, and he did the same, but it was a bit beyond his expectations, and he succeeded in killing Strange, which led to the next cycle. And the phrase "I'm here to negotiate" is like a spell before the cycle begins.
He couldn't remember how many times he had killed the Strange in front of him, and the other party was jumping around in front of him like a little bug, dead and alive. He also used various means, but the other party's cycle made him feel tired.
"Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate!"
Strange, who had died again, started a cycle again, and came to Dormammu, a giant in human form made of energy.
"I don't need to negotiate. I bet you won't last long. Dormammu didn't make a sound, his voice was an energetic frequency that bombarded Strange's soul.
"I can last a long time, but what about you? How long can you hold out? Strange said loudly.
"What do you mean?" Dormammu paused his spurting energy, "Do you think I'll not last as long as you?" ”
"I'm sure your energy can kill me thousands of times, but what's the point? You have your dimensional powers, and I've brought some power from us. We are now in an unbreakable loop. But I'm stuck here, and my hometown will be safe. You're stuck here, is your home really safe? Strange said loudly.
】
"I am the lord of the dark dimension, this is my dimension, my universe, my territory! Why do you think my home will be unsafe? Dormam roared filial piety.
"You are indeed the lord of the dark dimension, but have you always been the lord of the dark dimension?" Strange saw that Dormammu was no longer willing to have any communication with him at all, and he came up and launched an attack to send him into the next cycle, he was overjoyed, and said, "I once read in a book that records the history of the major dimensions, the previous ruler of the dark dimension was a wizard named Ornal, and you are the alien energy life who defected to him.
You taught him how to use the dark dimension's properties to devour other dimensions for expansion, and he gave you high status and power. Later, Ornal was obliterated when he wanted to conquer a dimensional realm called the unconscious. Then you and your sister Uma took the opportunity to slaughter a large number of Ornal's followers, using all means to seize the power of the dark dimension.
Even because you used the power of the magic barrier to block the invasion of the unconscious dimension, the beings of the dark dimension thought that you were their guardian, which deepened your deep connection with the dark dimension.
You and your sister are passionate about devouring the material world, and for this reason you were driven away as heretics of the Phartin race. You have mastered the Dark Dimension and have never stopped devouring other universes and dimensions. But you're not without enemies, are you?
What would you do if you were to expend a lot of time and power with me and cause a fire in your dark dimension's backyard to cause something big and unexpected? ”
"That's what I hate about the Ancient One! She's documenting so much! Dormammu said resentfully. Who has the most black history of the lords of the major dimensions? There is no doubt that the Ancient One must be one of them.
Even if the demon gods of the major dimensions can hide their black history and past very well, they can't help but be a voyeur like Gu Yi who is both capable and sees this as a decompression fun. The Time Gem was almost played out by the Ancient One in this regard. Some of the dimensional demon gods silently endured the ancient one's wool-gathering behavior, and the black history about them in the ancient one's hands cannot but be said to be useless.
Use the time gem to understand the operation of the power of the major dimensions little by little, and then find loopholes and obtain permissions from them, and then naturally gain some inexplicable [records]. Out of some bad taste, the ancient one also rubbed some of the [records] he obtained by the way with magic and treasured them as secret stories.
A person with unmatched strength who has mastered the black history of these demon gods, and if he wants to blackmail, he is naturally asking for trouble.
But a person who is very strong and difficult to really kill has a black history in his hands, so he can only pay a hush money regularly. is really an iron head, either he can't find the whereabouts of the ancient one at all, or he was killed by the ancient one.
In just a few hundred years and nearly a thousand years compared to the Demon God, it is naturally not without reason that the Ancient One was able to toss such a big reputation in the multiverse. Pure strength can fight, that's not enough.
And Strange, as the heir of the Supreme Mage, after the Supreme Mage opened all the treasures to him except for a few taboos, he naturally saw this secret book that recorded the black history of the lords of the major dimensions by "chance". And Dormammu, the master of the dark dimension, occupies a considerable space in the book, and is recorded in great detail.
"What about your opinion?" Strange asked aloud as he walked over to Dormammu's face of energy larger than an asteroid.
"What conditions do you want to negotiate?" Dormammu didn't want to follow Strange into this infinite loop again and again, especially when his own bottom was about to be exposed by Strange. He does need to take care of something outside of the cycle. Barriers, including the realm of the unconscious dimension, also require constant attention. Put simply, he approved of Strange's negotiations.
"Take those fanatics of yours out of my territory." Strange made a request: "Stop doing evil in our world and promise me that it will never come back." If you agree, I'll stop the cycle and we'll go back to our respective homes and deal with the mess at home. ”
"As you wish." Dormammu gave Strange a deep look, his voice rumbling to give his answer.
……
Strange slowly flew out of the dark dimension and came to the side of the mage king and Mordo, who were confronting Casillas and the others.
"What did you do?" Seeing Strange reappear intact, Casillas's intoxication as he looked at the dark dimension faded, and he looked at the other party in amazement, and couldn't help but ask.
He couldn't understand why this mage, who had killed himself, did not die, but returned from the dark dimension.
"What did I do?" Strange stood firm on the ground and elongated his tone, "Probably a friendly and warm negotiation with your master?" The process wasn't pretty, but it turned out pretty good. ”
Casillas looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe Strange's claims or not. But just as Casillas was about to say something, the imprint of power on his forehead lit up suddenly, and a huge suction force tugged at him, and his whole body was like burnt red charcoal, and a huge amount of energy flowed in his veins and body.
Several other Dormammum fanatics also floated one after another, following Casillas, sucking in the shrinking dark dimension of the cavern without any struggle.
"Goodbye, I have helped you fulfill your wishes, to send you to meet your Lord, to become one, to attain eternal life. Don't thank me. Strange shrugged his shoulders slightly as he looked at Casillas and the others who had disappeared into the cave and lost their breath like charcoal.
"Well done! How do you do it? Seeing that the last hole in the sky disappeared, and the sky returned to its original appearance, the mage king jumped on Strange's body almost excitedly, and the little fat hand slapped his back hard, laughing and asking.
"It's incredible." Mordo was a little jealous in his heart, he was jealous that it wasn't him who had done all this, but soon, he collected his emotions and went forward to congratulate Strange like the Mage King.
There is no doubt that if the Ancient One chose Strange as his heir, some people will question and disagree, but after the other party succeeded in driving out Dormammu and kept Midgard under the other party, Strange was already a well-deserved new Supreme Mage. And just like the ancient one, he is a new supreme mage who can be respected and recognized by all mages.
"Oops, I suddenly thought of a troublesome thing!" The celebratory Mage King suddenly jumped off Strange as if he had thought of something, his face flustered.
"What trouble could be more in trouble now than Dormammu? We've solved Dormammu, so what's the trouble we can't solve? Strange laughed.
"Luke's Book of Energy was absorbed into the dark dimension along with Casillas." A flattering smile appeared on the mage king's face, and he grabbed Strange's arm: "Master Strange, no, Your Excellency Supreme Mage, I think it's up to you to go over and explain to Luke. This is not a matter of our custodian default. ”
The smile on Strange's face faded.
