Hercules was a powerful god with endless strength and courage, but for the first time he felt fear in the face of this pale current of fire.

It wasn't just because the fire could hurt him, but because he realized that the power of the fire was beyond his imagination.

Hercules began to panic, he had lived countless years, but that didn't mean he had lived enough.

On the contrary, the longer you live, the more attached you will be to life.

He came to Jotunheim to conquer the world, not to die.

Hercules relented, and he roared, kicking his thick legs away from the pale stream of fire.

He flashed a thousand meters at once, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he noticed that the deadly white fire was actually chasing him.

The pale stream of fire turned around in the ground and headed straight for Hercules.

In desperation, Hercules could only run as fast as he could, trying to escape the flames.

His body quickly moved away from the battlefield like lightning, and he rushed into the forest and over the hills, but the fire pursued him as if he were possessed.

It seemed that wherever he fled, even to the ends of the earth, this pale stream of fire would follow.

Hercules felt the aura of death growing behind him, and his heart was filled with fear and unease.

"No!"

"I'm not going to die here!"

He yelled.

Just as Hercules was about to be overtaken by the fire, he suddenly saw a huge mountain of rocks.

Hercules was overjoyed, and he instantly changed direction and ran towards the stone mountain. He climbed the mountain and hid behind a huge rock, relieved in his heart.

However, what Hercules didn't expect was that the pale stream of fire actually chased up the mountain.

Then it pierced through the rock, and the rock that it pierced did not explode, but it was like a stone that had been weathered for thousands of years, and when it was blown by the cold wind on the mountain, it turned into powder and did not disperse.

Luckily, Hercules had already jumped down the mountain when the rock was pierced by the fire.

He fell to the ground like a meteorite, and as he was about to hit the ground, he suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that he wanted to stop, but that under his feet, in mid-air, the air seemed to freeze, as solid as the earth, so that Hercules' body could not continue to fall, could not touch the ground.

Hercules didn't have time to figure out what was going on, he tried to jump out of here, but he forgot that he was in mid-air, and there was nothing to draw on.

And he, Hercules, does not fly.

Meanwhile.

The pale stream of fire had already swept down the mountain, and in an instant it had caught up with Hercules.

In desperation, Hercules had no choice but to raise his hand to parry and block the fire with his palm.

"Why!"

"Why is this happening?"

Hercules' roar rang out between the mountains, and when he came to nearby Azu, the spatial rough stone on the Infinity Gauntlet was glowing.

It's been a long time since I've had the Infinity Gauntlet, and during that time, Azu hasn't been idle.

Even when he was on 'vacation', he often went into the Marvel Universe and then researched the 'Infinity Gauntlet'.

Through this period of research, he discovered the deeper use of the 'Infinity Gauntlet', and also knew that Thanos's use of this glove was only superficial.

In the case of the 'Space Primogem', it is not as simple as opening a portal and allowing the wielder to travel between different planets.

It is capable of rewriting the rules of space, such as the current one, making the space where Hercules is located independent of each other, so that Hercules cannot escape.

If needed, Azu can also make two or more rough stones affect each other, interact with each other, and produce a superimposed effect, so as to achieve more complex use.

To put it simply, the 'Infinite Primordial' is a kind of permission, the 'key' to the underlying rules of the Marvel Universe.

If you control these keys, you can modify and use them at will, so as to become the 'god' of Marvel.

But now.

Azu doesn't need to be too complicated, just the in-depth use of the 'Infinite Primordial' is enough to deal with a lot of things.

In the blink of an eye, Hercules' palm had begun to reveal white bones, and death had never been closer than this moment.

Hercules hurriedly roared, "You can't kill me!" ”

"If I die, my father won't let you go!"

Azu plucked out his ears, he had heard too many similar threats.

Even if it was a threat from a god, Azu didn't take it too seriously.

So instead of disappearing, the 'Death Ray' intensified, allowing the aura of death to frantically wash over Hercules' body, causing Hercules' body to collapse faster.

"Wait!"

"I can help you."

"Yes, I can do anything for you."

"By the way, Thor, the god of thunder in Asgard, recently visited the Almighty God, and he is instigating my father to deal with you."

"I can get my father to dismiss this idea."

Hercules continued to throw his chips.

This time, Azu was somewhat interested.

"Thor?"

"Although I don't think that Zeus can be more difficult than Odin, not to mention that now I have the 'Infinity Gauntlet' and the 'Dark Divine Book'."

"However, it should be interesting if the gods were to coax inward."

Azu lit up the 'Soul Stone' and said, "What you said is interesting, but I can't trust you like that. ”

"Unless you swear, swear that your soul will belong to me and never betray me."

When Hercules heard this, he immediately exclaimed, "No problem! ”

"I, Hercules, hereby swear that my soul will belong to the conqueror, and I will never betray the conqueror!"

Such an oath, he thought to himself, was not binding on the gods at all.

As soon as he was able to escape, he immediately returned to the Almighty City and persuaded Zeus to destroy the conquerors.

But Hercules didn't know that after he swore an oath, his figure appeared in the soul gem.

It was a projection of his soul.

His soul has been anchored by the 'Soul Primordial Stone', and Azu can use this 'coordinate' to destroy Hercules' soul at any time, even if he crosses the galaxy.

Just now he asked Hercules to swear, and what he needed was not Hercules's oath, but rather Hercules' phrase 'the soul belongs to you'.

Similar to the method of obtaining the Soul Stone, in order to use the deep ability of the Soul Stone, the anchored subject needs to speak the key words themselves.

So the oath is just a cover, what Azu really needs is the condition for using the 'Soul Primordial Stone'.

Now that the conditions are met, he puts away the 'Death Ray', lifts the 'Spatial Confinement', and lets Hercules fall to the ground.

Hercules breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes, and began to think about how to get out of Jotunheim, away from the terrible man of the Conqueror.

At that moment, Hercules screamed in an unspeakable pain, and he felt as if his soul had been thrown into a furnace and burned, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

Azu descended from the sky, and in the 'Infinity Gauntlet', the soul stone sparkled.

He looked at Hercules on the ground and smiled, "It seems that you have already felt it, how is it, the taste of your soul being rubbed is not pleasant, right?" ”

"What did you say?" Hercules broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Azu.

Azu spread out his hand, and in the palm of his hand, there was a small figure, which was the soul projection of Hercules.

Azu used his thumb and forefinger to pinch the figure, and Hercules screamed.

"See, no."

"I've taken control of your soul."

"The oath you just made wasn't just for you to say."

"Even if you escape back to the Almighty City, I can crush your soul at any time if I wish."

"I see."

"I see!"

Hercules shouted, "I will do what you say, and whatever you ask me to do, I will do it!" ”

"Please stop, stop!"

Azu stopped moving, sent the projection back into the soul rough stone, and then said.

"I want you to go back to Almighty City and do a few things."

Hercules lay on the ground gasping for breath, and he said weakly, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"First of all, I want you to kill Thor, it doesn't matter if you kill or not, but you have to do your best, if you let me know that you release water, think about the consequences."

Azu smiled.

It would be best if Hercules could kill Thor, but if he couldn't, then Almighty City and Thor would lose the basis for cooperation.

"Next, I want you to bring me Zeus's lightning."

Most of Zeus's power is on that lightning, and if the lightning is in hand, Zeus can only be obedient.

And that lightning is also an artifact, an artifact, who would have too much.

Hercules' face was ugly, and the two things that Azu said were not easy.

Especially the latter one.

To steal Zeus's lightning bolt, it's not that it can't be done, although it is not easy, but as the son of Zeus, Hercules still has a way.

Just by stealing the lightning, Hercules is like betraying Zeus, and from then on he can only obediently follow Azu's orders, after all, he has no other choice.

"Finally, you can't tell Zeus that your soul is under my control. Otherwise."

Without further along, Azu squeezed his eyes at Hercules, soared into the sky, and flew back to where the dark elves were.

Hercules sighed, knowing he was defeated.

And there is no chance of saving.

Deep underneath the Vangeda Mountains, it was dark and cold.

The atmosphere here is heavy and oppressive, as if the whole world has been sucked into a bottomless abyss.

The magic golems that Doctor Strange once summoned, and the magical orbs of light that illuminated the darkness, were no longer working, like extinguished candles, leaving only cold and silence.

The air is cold and dry here, as if every trace of moisture has been condensed by the bitter cold and settled in the earth.

Even in the darkness of the earth, the Doctor and Wanda's breathing was still audible, each breath bringing up a cold white mist.

Their bodies remained motionless, as if frozen in this darkness, sleeping in the endless cold and silence.

Doctor Strange's eyes had lost focus, and his hand was still holding its last grip, as if resisting the dark force.

Wanda's face was very calm, even a little smiling, her chest heaving slightly in the cold air, and she looked like a corpse if she hadn't reacted like this.

Darkness enveloped the area, and it resembled a giant shadow monster that used its cold, dark tentacles to take possession of the underworld.

In this darkness, the aura of the Doctor and Wanda was almost completely consumed, and their existence seemed to have been forgotten in the depths of the earth.

At this time.

Wanda is closing herself in the spiritual world.

Doctor Strange, on the other hand, is trapped in Wanda's mental world.

Both of them are in a state where they will not wake up anytime soon.

At this moment, an eye appeared on Doctor Strange's forehead, and with the appearance of this eye, Dark Strange awakened on Stephen's body.

He moved his body, which was almost stiff, and reached out and pointed at the ground, and a magical flame appeared on the ground.

The heat of the flames softened his stiff body, and Dark Strange rose from the ground and slapped away the frost that had congealed on the surface of his clothes due to the low temperature.

"That's a lot of luck."

The corners of Dark Strange's mouth went up as he looked at Wanda, who was sitting cross-legged.

"Sure enough, this witch is not dead yet, Stephen is right, even if he destroys Wangda Mountain, Wanda will not die easily."

"Let me see, is she closing her mind?"

"That's right, Stephen was probably influenced by her magic to fall into Wanda's spiritual world."

"In this way, his body is temporarily under my control."

He walked over to Wanda, "Think about it, what can I do?" ”

"After all, I promised the conqueror to help him fight the Avengers."

"Although I don't want to work so hard, I have to work hard for the sake of the 'Dark Divine Book' in his hand."

"Are you going to kill Wanda?"

"The witch herself is not physically strong, a knife, a gun can kill her."

"But probably instinctively, she is using magical energy to protect her body, and if she forcibly attacks her body, it may cause her to 'wake up'."

The Dark Strange moved around Wanda, saying as he observed.

"It's a good idea to manipulate her spirit with dark magic, Wanda's spirit is strong, but at the same time vulnerable."

"Her weaknesses are visual hallucinations and non-existent children, and it's not impossible to manipulate her with good use of that."

"Wouldn't it be perfect if I could absorb her magical energy, though?"

"Her chaos magic, which bears a resemblance to my dark magic, should be able to use her magical energy to boost my power."

"In this way, I can suppress or even erase Stephen's main personality, so that in the future, there will only be Dark Strange, and there will be no Doctor Strange."

"And, without all of her magical energy, Wanda will be weakened and will no longer be a threat to the conqueror."

"In this way, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the promise to the conqueror."

"And it can also strengthen my own strength."

"That's it!" (End of chapter)
