Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 207 Perpetual motion machine?
After repeated inspections, Du Mu showed an unexpected smile.

really.

As a dimensional demon, even if he fails, he will try every possible way to save himself.

In the folds of space, a tiny bit of dark energy the size of a finger curled itself up.

Dormammu tried his best to wrap the folds of space around his body, so that all the mental power, life force field, and magic power that swept towards him would directly bypass this tiny area.

This is not invisibility or shielding, but it makes it impossible for most means based on spells, vision, hearing, smell, etc. to contact the opponent from the root.

However, Du Mu's spatial perception was enhanced after two golden apples.

If it weren't for the fact that this dark energy was so tiny that the space folds he pulled were almost integrated into the folds by the earth's gravity, it would not have taken Du Mu several seconds to find the other party.

Fortunately, the surrounding space had been locked by Du Mu's spell early on.

For the Kamar-Taj wizard, whose only goal for thousands and tens of thousands of years is to protect the earth, other spells are sufficient, but the spell to block space to protect the earth has already become extremely mysterious and profound in the infinite game with the dimensional demon.

Since Dormammu cannot break through the earth protection array maintained by the three holy sanctuaries, he cannot break through the space blockade array cast by Du Mu.

"Dormammu."

Du Mu spoke.

In that small ball of dark energy in the folds of space, even the tiny energy tide suddenly stagnated, giving a feeling of cardiac arrest.

But then, Dormammu comforted himself that the other party would never be able to discover his existence and he was just deceiving him.

So he still curled up in the folds of space pretending to be dead, and did not respond at all to Du Mu calling his name.

Du Mu said softly.

"The spell that seals off this area and prevents you from leaving was created by mortals with short lifespans."

"The protective spell that blocks your curse is also the brainchild of another mortal..."

As he spoke, he slowly floated towards where Dormammu was.

Feeling Du Mu flying straight towards him, Dormammu's small ball of dark energy almost boiled up. The constantly surging dark energy turned him into a hairy sea urchin.

Can't escape, can't be killed, can't be defeated, and can be found even if you hide.

For the first time since Dormammu became the dimensional demon, he felt helpless, with no way up to heaven or door into the earth, against a non-demon being.

"I have no other intention in telling you this... I just want you to know that the reason for your failure is not just the Infinity Stones."

"There is also a part that comes from mortals with short lives. They used their short-lived wisdom to plant the seeds of your failure thousands of years ago."

At this moment, Dormammu's heart was filled with fear and despair, and the surging emotions almost swallowed up his sanity.

At this moment, he couldn't listen to Du Mu's words at all. He kept thinking in his mind how to get a glimmer of hope out of this desperate situation.

Although Du Mu introduced the key spells he used to Dormammu, he did not tell him the names of the two creators.

In fact, the names of previous wizards are rarely recorded in the books of Kamar-Taj.

After all, death is not the end of everything in the Marvel world.

Those mages who feel exhausted emotionally and spiritually and find it difficult to continue often choose to leave behind only the crystallization of their knowledge, but not their names...

To prevent my rest from being disturbed after death.

Those wizards who left their names usually went to the Vishanti dimension after death to serve the demon god who continuously provided them with power during their lifetime.

They are not afraid of this. After all, there are not many beings who can rescue people from the hands of the dimensional demon. Even the demons from other dimensions do not have this ability.

But no matter what, as the new Supreme Sorcerer who inherited their knowledge, Du Mu respected these predecessors in his heart, so he specifically pointed out the origin of his spells in front of Dormammu.

Now Du Mu has already recognized the identity of the Supreme Mage.

When Gu Yiban forced it to him, Du Mu just regarded it as the price of taking the Time Stone... After all, he was taking a cosmic treasure from someone else without fighting, so he had to give him some face.

But after reading the collection of books in Kamar-Taj, those predecessors who came one after another completely won Du Mu's respect.

It also enhanced the value of the title of Supreme Mage in Du Mu's mind.

This can't be blamed on Du Mu. In the original novel, the Sorcerer Supreme could be stabbed to death by a jerk like Casillas, the Sorcerer Supreme could be trapped in another world by Spider-Man for a whole day, the Sorcerer Supreme gave Thanos the gem for free during the Gem War, and the Sorcerer Supreme played with water at the last moment when others were fighting...

The two supreme sorcerers in the movie are more powerful than each other.

Even when Wong finally obtained the position of Sorcerer Supreme, Du Mu still felt that he was indeed more reliable than Strange, and no one in the entire Marvel fan circle stood up for Strange.

This made Du Mu look down on the position and title of Supreme Mage at the beginning.

But now it’s different. After truly coming into contact with the profound heritage of Kamar-Taj, Du Mu’s strength may not have improved much vertically, but in terms of horizontal applicability and functionality, it has greatly improved his control and understanding of his own power.

Du Mu slowly stretched out his hand and aimed at the folds of space and time where Dormammu was hidden.

"The greatest enemy of Kamar-Taj in thousands of years is the Dimensional Demon."

"So... naturally, someone would try to create a spell that could kill the demon."

"But they all failed in the end because the demon god was too big and their power was too weak."

While Dormammu was brainstorming, he looked at Du Mu through the folds of space in a daze.

Most of his thoughts were spent on trying to figure out how to break the magic array Du Mu had cast, but these magic arrays were as intricate as carvings on an embroidery needle.

This was the first time that Dormammu, who was used to looking at magic from a macro perspective, saw that such a complex function could be achieved with just a small amount of magic power.

This also reminded Dormammu of what Du Mu had just said...

Such a delicate and exquisite spell actually came from... a mortal?
Or, they are mortals whose lifespans have already run out and who have been dead for thousands of years.

The guy who had died a thousand years ago found himself trapped in prison a thousand years later and couldn't escape.

"But now that you're little, it's easier to kill you."

Dormammu's mind became increasingly dull, and all his attention was focused on dismantling the spells of mortals like a madman.

That's all, that's all! It just looks complicated at first, but if you calm down, you'll realize it's not perfect.

In just one month, he would be able to rely on the little remaining dark energy to completely break the spell that blocks the space!

Just one month! Just a flick of a finger, just two dimensional tides! It is countless times shorter than the length of a breath in their lives!
Du Mu smiled slightly and did not stop Dormammu from breaking the magic circle.

He whispered, "Because this is a failed magic. Our predecessors did not give it a name, but only left behind the idea."

"I refined it slightly using the knowledge in your mind from the demon itself."

"I would like to call this spell - Energy Shaping."

A tiny magic circle appeared in the air, covering the small ball of dark energy that remained of Dormammu.

Dormammu did not feel any threat from this small magic circle, only an extreme physical disgust.

This feeling of disgust made Dormammu slightly stunned. After becoming the lord of the dark dimension, he had not felt "disgusted" for a long time, except for those annoying mages.

After all, the feeling of nausea comes from mortals staying away from pathogens that may cause disease. Feeling disgusted by inedible things and things that must be stayed away from is the way of survival for mortals.

But the dark dimension can transform all matter into energy, and there is no substance that poses a threat to the dimensional demon... well, except for the Infinity Gems.

Dormammu was unwilling to sit and wait for death, so he suddenly created folds in time and space and tried to escape.

Although this area had long been blocked by Du Mu's countless magic circles, he could only escape by circling in the cracks between the magic circles, but Dormammu had now been forced into a corner and could only try to take desperate measures.

But then, Dormammu suddenly felt an unfamiliar feeling of "heaviness".

What followed was... a feeling of 'weightlessness'.

Dormammu today has more sensory experiences than in the previous ten thousand years combined.

He was surprised to find that the dark energy in his body was no longer reacting tidally.

They are solidified...or rather, materialized!
His own dark energy transformed from energy into matter!
Immediately, Dormammu's mind froze in panic.

Du Mu stretched out his hand and used his magic power to pull the falling black sea urchins into his hand.

At this moment, Dormammu's thoughts had completely stopped.

Du Mu, who possessed the knowledge of the demon god, knew that even if Dormammu's real body took the sea urchin back from his hand and transformed it into dark energy again, he would not be able to obtain any information or knowledge.

The shaping technique that transforms energy into matter fundamentally denies the existence of dimensional demons that rely purely on energy to maintain their will.

If it is used on Dormammu's body, this petrification will continue to spread to the entire dark dimension.

This seemingly ordinary magic actually creates a magical chain reaction, transforming all highly active energy into stable and lifeless matter.

But the reason why this spell failed... is naturally because, if it was Dormammu's real body, it could directly cut off from the affected part, and then after the reaction was over, it would be taken back into the body and converted back into dark energy.

No loss at all, inside or outside.

But the caster has to bear the backlash of this spell...

That means all the magic power in your body will also be materialized.

The more powerful the wizard, the more likely he is to be killed by his own "magic power".

This creates a paradox: if there is no magic power in the body, it cannot be used; if there is magic power, the enemy will die together with the enemy, but it poses no threat to the extremely large dimensional demon.

Therefore, this spell was sealed up as an unfinished technique, only for reference by future generations.

Du Mu's perfection was to intercept the magic power from his body just before the spell was about to succeed, making it an isolated existence.

In an instant, the spell that was intended to kill both parties was transformed into a hand-free spell like a grenade.

However, to complete such an operation, one needs powerful spatial perception, strong mental control, and vast mana that is not afraid of consumption.

In other words, Du Mu's body is at the level of a Kryptonian, so even if he fails, the meridians in his body can suppress the materialized magic power, crush them again and digest and absorb them.

Otherwise, Du Mu would not easily use such a dangerous spell.

Afterwards, Du Mu checked the surrounding environment tens of thousands of times at high speed and confirmed that Dormammu no longer had any backup plans.

He looked at the sky that was almost completely covered by his own magic circle, shook his head and laughed.

The layers of light from the magic circle were almost brighter than the sunlight in broad daylight.

Fortunately, it is daytime now, otherwise many New Yorkers would definitely suffer from insomnia.

Du Mu waved his hand and dispelled all the restraining magic except for the protective magic circle.

The anxious disciples such as Spider-Man below, Wang, Thor and other Kamar-Taj and Asgardians, as well as the citizens of New York and ordinary people around the world who were watching the live broadcast, finally saw Du Mu again.

But the huge monster that seemed to have torn the sky apart and came to the earth was nowhere to be seen.

When Dormammu began to resist the Power Stone, among the countless confinement spells cast by Du Mu, there were a few that, in addition to providing protection, also had the function of blocking prying eyes and sounds.

Therefore, no one else knew about the conflict and conversation between Du Mu and Dormammu in the entire second half.

But in any case, such monsters were most likely destroyed, which made countless people breathe a sigh of relief, but also made a few people frown and grit their teeth.

The latter are the group of people who were excited when Dormammu said they could be his servants forever. Du Mu had nothing to say to them.

But this time is very different from the last time when the sky carrier was about to crash. The crisis that time was understandable and reasonable. Everyone knew what the consequences would be if the sky carrier landed in the city, so they were naturally afraid of it.

But this time when Dormammu invaded, only a few people knew his identity as a dimensional demon, and most people had no idea of ​​the threat posed by Dormammu.

It felt like a monster came to Earth and was dealt with by a mysterious Sorcerer Supreme, that's all.

So while most people breathed a sigh of relief, they did not celebrate as enthusiastically as they did the last time the sky carrier crisis was resolved.

How should I put it? It's a bit numb.

However, in the global political arena, another issue was put on the same agenda as the space expansion project that was immediately put on the agenda after the invasion of the Dark Cult.

Du Mu listened to the senior executives discussing this matter. Some of them cared about the fact that magic actually existed, some cared about the identity of the Supreme Mage, and some... cared about the eternity mentioned by the dimensional demon.

So Du Mu raised his hand and added a confinement spell to the earth that prohibited the use of magical means to communicate with the outside world.

This demon knowledge from Dormammu was originally used to block the harassment signals of certain believers. Some guys could greet him eight hundred times in just one day. If it wasn't of some use, they would have been crushed to death by Dormammu long ago.

Now it is perfectly put to good use, and it can be used to block the fools who will try to communicate with the devil in the future.

But... this inevitably caused the real wizards in Kamar-Taj to lose the source of their power.

Du Mu thought about it for a while and felt that this might be a good opportunity.

After all, it is impossible for him to appear in different worlds at the same time, and the strength of his disciples varies. Some are very strong, while others are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

If he wanted his disciples to play a role, and in addition to giving back power, be able to truly shoulder heavy responsibilities and help him look after many worlds, it would be equivalent to freeing his hands and time.

Du Mu didn't do this in the past because their bodies could not withstand Du Mu's magical power.

For so long, only one Hulk has done it.

But now, he has obtained the knowledge of how to grant believers power that they cannot bear through Dormammu.

At this time, Du Mu thought again that if he could integrate the martial arts school and expand the feedback area of ​​the martial arts school.

Then, can the magic power that I have increased be fed back tenfold?

If it is possible, wouldn’t it be... a perpetual motion machine powered by magic?
