The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 459 Already Decided

Casillas didn't know that in the first round, Dormammu was tricked by the Ancient One and lost a physical clone, which was a heavy price. In comparison, the magic power that was not recovered was not worth mentioning.

Precisely because he has been tricked by the Ancient One so many times, Dormammu now almost has the sequelae of PTSD. Seeing that he can come to Earth so easily, it makes him suspicious, fearing that this is another trap set by the Ancient One.

This time he learned his lesson and poured massive amounts of dark magic power towards the earth, but as for his main body, he refused to let it in.

The magic power of the dark dimension is almost endless, so no matter how much it loses, we won’t feel bad. But if we fall into the trap of Ancient One again, we would be stupid.

In this muddy pit that is Earth, there are countless demons who have been turned into meatballs by Ancient One, and Dormammu doesn't want to be the next one.

The magic power rolled in and spread from the opening of the New York Temple to the whole of New York. Wherever it went, there was chaos.

This strange phenomenon soon alarmed the authorities, and then the task was assigned to the police to resolve the issue.

After the police advance team lost contact repeatedly, the army was dispatched but still failed. In the end, the matter finally fell on the shoulders of S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, the current SHIELD has been hollowed out by various forces. It has no people, no equipment, and has nothing. How can it solve a disaster of this level?
Those politicians are passing the buck to each other and are unwilling to take the responsibility. As for the major forces that have gained benefits, it is even less likely that they will use their newly acquired resources to solve problems for the Federation.

With a bunch of people arguing with each other, New York will soon fall.

When the nest is overturned, all the eggs are broken. Zhan Liu and Natalia's martial arts school were not spared and were submerged by the rolling dark magic.

The fifty new disciples immediately turned into male dogs in heat and began to chase and bite Natalia. Then they were turned into fertilizer and buried in the small garden in the backyard.

Although the dark magic had little effect on Zhan Liu and the other man, it still had some influence, making them very uncomfortable.

"Damn it!" Natalia was disgusted. "What is this? Is it a hallucinogenic gas?"

"It should be dark magic..." Zhan Liu looked at the direction where the magic came from. "That's the New York Temple. Dormammu should be here. But don't worry. Doctor Strange will be here soon..."

Zhan Liu stopped talking halfway, then looked down at the Eye of Agamotto in his hand and began to stare blankly.

In the original plot, Doctor Strange was no match for Dormammu at all, and he relied entirely on the Time Stone to disgust his enemy away.

But now that the Time Stone is in Zhan Liu’s hands, can Doctor Strange still send Dormammu away?
"Fuck! You really deserve it!" Zhan Liu cursed inwardly, leaped up and flew towards the New York Temple.

He has to send the Time Stone back, otherwise if Dormammu really comes, he won’t be able to withstand it!

Zhan Liu flew all the way to the New York Temple in a hurry, fearing that he would be too late and Dr. Strange would have died.

When we reached the sky above the New York Temple, we saw a huge black fog cage had formed below, completely blocking our view.

Zhan Liu estimated the approximate location and dived down.

Inside the hall, the situation had completely reversed. If it weren't for the massive magic arrays that assisted them, the Mage King and his men would have been completely wiped out.

A group of mages were extremely anxious, but they could not find any hope of turning the situation around.

"Damn it! If the Sorcerer Supreme hadn't died, how could it have turned out like this!"

As the concentration of dark magic grew higher and higher, quite a few mages who had not yet mastered their skills began to be affected and began to complain in low voices.

Casillas was still leading a group of believers in praying loudly. The sound was heard far away in the mage camp, making them even more desperate.

However, no matter how Casillas prayed, the huge space gate always stood there quietly. Apart from the massive amount of dark magic power surging out, there was no sign of the arrival of the demon.

Not only Casillas couldn't figure it out, even the mages of Kamar-Taj couldn't figure out what went wrong and why the demon Dormammu hadn't come.

If it weren't for the creepy demonic aura coming from the other end of the space gate, everyone would probably suspect that the dimension the space gate connected to was wrong, or that Dormammu was not at home.

Casillas could only think that the sacrifices he had prepared were not enough, so he kept urging the dark believers to launch a fierce attack. No matter who died, they could be used as sacrifices.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, crashed to the ground, and stepped on the center of the magic circle. The protective shield outside the magic circle only resisted for a moment, then turned into fragments, scattered in all directions, and slowly dissipated into the air.

Without the obstruction of the magic shield, the magic circle was nothing more than a pile of symbols carved on the stone floor, and was immediately crushed to pieces by Zhan Liu.

This is really an accident!

When Zhan Liu descended from the sky, his vision was blocked by the thick dark magic and he could not see the actual situation below at all. He relied entirely on the approximate direction in his memory and descended towards the hall of the New York Temple.

However, Kaecilius captured the New York Temple and carved a magic circle to summon Dormammu in the most spacious position in the main hall.

As a result, as luck would have it, Zhan Liu happened to fall on top of the magic circle and destroyed it.

Without the maintenance of the magic circle, the space gate began to fluctuate and could collapse at any time.

Under this circumstance, Dormammu could actually use his own dark magic to power the space gate and keep it going. However, after seeing Zhan Liu suddenly appear, Dormammu immediately gave up this idea.

Although the guy in front of him looked unimpressive, he had just seen him not long ago. He stomped his clone to pieces with one foot. He was a strong man who would not be easily defeated even if his real body came.

Moreover, what's hanging around this guy's neck is clearly the Eye of Agamotto, a divine artifact containing the Time Stone.

Dormammu and Kamar-Taj are old enemies. They probably know more about the Sorcerer Supreme than the Sorcerer King and others. They know very well that this artifact is the inheritance of the Sorcerer Supreme and only the Sorcerer Supreme will carry it with him.

Humph, I knew that this guy must be in cahoots with that old bastard Gu Yi.

The wise Dormammu saw through everything and angrily took away the magic power.

This time, He did not allow the magic power He had previously spent to be lost, but took it all back.

Looking down from the satellite in the sky, one could see that all the black fog in New York was instantly sucked back in like a whale sucking up water, and flowed back into the space gate.

There is a price to pay for using magic. The souls of those who died tragically in the previous chaos became the interest of using dark magic and were swallowed up into the dark dimension. The souls of those who are still alive will naturally belong to Dormammu after they die in the future.

Magic Finance is so profitable!
Without the support of magic, the space-time gate flickered a few times, collapsed into a small black hole, and disappeared automatically after a moment.

Dormammu threw away all the believers on the other side like garbage. As long as he wanted, he could easily seduce as many believers as he wanted, and it would not be a pity if they all died!

This time Casillas was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the empty hall in front of him, probably wanting to die.

Then he pointed at Zhan Liu and roared loudly and madly.

"Kill this blasphemous fellow!"

"Use him as a sacrifice, and we will offer the sacrifice again!"

After hearing the order, the group of dark believers immediately abandoned the enemies on the opposite side and turned to charge towards Zhan Liu.

Although Dormammu had drained away the magic power, this group of dark believers had just been immersed in the magic tide for a long time, and the magic power in their bodies had reached an exaggerated level, successfully forcing a group of low-level cannon fodder to the level of high-level trash.

However, no matter how strong the trash is, it is still just trash. Zhan Liu can easily defeat trash of this level with just one punch.

Casillas was indignant when he saw Zhan Liu performing his unparalleled tricks there. Not only did he cast all kinds of dark magic on him, he also held a dagger in both hands and came up to fight him in close combat.

Marvel's mages are similar to the mages in Middle-earth. They are both used to fighting with warriors and are willing to use their own hobbies to challenge other people's professions.

What's even more ridiculous is that warriors are often unable to defeat this group of melee mages.

With the support of a huge amount of dark magic, Casillas's overall attributes rose sharply, and he felt that his melee ability had increased several times, and he would definitely be able to achieve success in one fell swoop.

However, facing Zhan Liu's heavy punch, his resistance was not much stronger than that of an ordinary dark cultist, and he was still killed in one second.

When Casillas' head exploded like a rotten watermelon, the other dark believers suddenly calmed down and began to scatter.

Zhan Liu was too lazy to pay attention to this mob and did not continue to chase them. Instead, he took off the Eye of Agamotto from his neck and asked with a wry smile:

"Is Doctor Strange here? I sent the artifact back to him..."

Not far away from Zhan Liu, a group of mages who had survived the disaster were lying on the ground gasping for breath. After hearing Zhan Liu's words, they looked at him with complicated eyes.

After seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the mages opposite him, Zhan Liu's heart sank, and he asked hesitantly:
"Am I late?"

"Doctor Strange...is dead?"

The Mage King turned around and whispered something to the mages around him, then he struggled to get up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and slowly walked to Zhan Liu. He did not reach out to take the Eye of Agamotto, but said with a gloomy face:

"You killed the Ancient One, and Kamar-Taj will be your eternal enemy!"

"As for the Eye of Agamotto... since you've already taken it away, why are you giving it back now?"

“Tsk…” Zhan Liu curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said shamelessly: “You may not believe me when I tell you the truth, but Gu Yi bumped into my fist herself. She committed suicide, you can’t blame me.”

"As for this artifact, if Doctor Strange didn't need it to suppress Dormammu, I wouldn't have returned this good thing to you!"

"The treasures of the world belong to the virtuous. I feel that this treasure is destined for me!"

Although he had accidentally destroyed the space magic circle and the space gate was closed, Zhan Liu had already felt the terrifying aura coming from the other end of the space gate the moment he landed.

Just the breath transmitted from the other dimension through the space gate was enough to make Zhan Liu's hair stand on end. He didn't dare to easily provoke such a terrifying demon.

Therefore, instead of occupying the unusable Time Stone and facing the dark demon who may come to kill him at any time in the future, it is better to throw the thing to the new Supreme Sorcerer and let him take the lead.

Anyway, protecting the earth is the responsibility of the Supreme Sorcerer, not Zhan Liu.

Hearing Zhan Liu's rude words and his disrespect for the deceased Supreme Mage, the Mage King's face darkened, but he still restrained his temper. After all, the guy in front of him was a killer. Those mages who had difficulty dealing with the dark believers were no different from chickens in his hands.

If he angered the villain in front of him because of a momentary impulse, I'm afraid Kamar-Taj would be destroyed today.

"You keep talking about Doctor Strange. We are in the Temple of Mages. There are no doctors here. You have come to the wrong place!"

"Eh?" Zhan Liu was stunned. "Didn't Ancient One bring Dr. Strange in as his successor?"

"Then why did she run away when she didn't even arrange for a new Sorcerer Supreme?"

The Mage King frowned and said unhappily: "If you hadn't killed Master Ancient One, the Mage Master would have already arranged the next Supreme Mage!"

“No, no, no!” Zhan Liu shook his head repeatedly, “Ancient One has the Time Stone and can see what will happen in the future. How could he not know how he will die?”

"She must have arranged everything. Think carefully about who she has designated as the next Sorcerer Supreme?"

It's not that every universe has Strange succeeding the Ancient One as the Sorcerer Supreme, there is also the Tony Stark version. So Zhan Liu was not surprised that Doctor Strange was not here. But he was also very sure that the Ancient One must have arranged a successor, otherwise she would not skip work like this unless there was a major accident.

After hearing Zhan Liu's words, the Mage King also frowned.

Many people in Kamar-Taj knew that Ancient One could see the future, so the Sorcerer King suddenly felt that what Zhan Liu said made sense.

He turned around and went back to the mage team, discussed with a group of people for a long time, and then returned to Zhan Liu.

This time, his words became much more polite, and he even smiled.

"You just drove away the dark god Dormammu, saved the earth, and saved Kamar-Taj. We will never forget this kindness!"

"We just recalled it carefully, and Master Ancient One seemed to have said who should take over as the next Sorcerer Supreme."

"That's all. Just hand this artifact over to the Supreme Sorcerer you trust." Zhan Liu handed over the Eye of Agamotto in his hand again. "As for the favor, there's no need to mention it. It doesn't matter if you want to seek revenge on me for Ancient One in the future. No matter what, I will take it."

However, the Mage King looked down at the Eye of Agamotto and did not reach out to take it. Instead, he said with a strange look:

"Master Ancient One once said that whoever holds the Eye of Agamotto will be the next Sorcerer Supreme."
