Chapter 259 Conquering the Dark Dimension (Part 2)

Before taking over the Dark Dimension, Dormammu was a type of extradimensional energy being called 'Faldin'.

Because he and his sister Uma developed a fetish for devouring physical matter, they were considered heretics by their people and exiled to the Dark Dimension.

After gaining control of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu retained his human form for some reason and did not completely integrate himself into the Dark Dimension.

What Lin Yu is 'seeing' right now is Dormammu's mental form, which retains its original appearance.

Sensing the terrifying consciousness that was sweeping in like a flood, Dormammu's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly manipulated his mental body to escape into the dark dimension, trying to escape the capture of Lin Yu's main consciousness.

"Want to run?"

"Can you run away?"

Lin Yu laughed loudly, and the consciousness that surged into that strange space immediately shone with silver light, instantly outlining a complex eye symbol composed of dozens of silver lines.

Without a doubt, this eye represents Lin Yu's mystical symbol!
"Om-"

With the tremor of space, a terrifying devouring power was born out of thin air from the center of the pupil.

The entire strange space collapsed instantly, transforming into a deep and pitch-black spatial vortex.

The pitch-black vortex slowly unfolded, revealing a nascent universe filled with high-energy matter, like an energy furnace.

A vast and profound will descended from it, instantly stripping it of control and completely separating this space from the dark dimension.

In an instant, the entire space was covered by that great will, and all energy and matter were frozen.

Time seemed to slow down to the extreme, and even Dormammu's mental form was firmly locked in place by that sudden power, maintaining the posture he had taken when he entered the dark dimension.

Of course, even with spacetime locked, Dormammu's mind continued to function normally.

But it was precisely because of this that he was able to more clearly feel the greatness and terror of that will.

A fear originating from the depths of his soul arose spontaneously, and Dormammu's mental body couldn't help but tremble.

He struggled desperately within the sealed spacetime, trying to beg for mercy from Lin Yu's true consciousness.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu gave him no chance to beg for mercy. His vast and boundless consciousness swept out with overwhelming force, easily and completely devouring his terrified and trembling mental body.

In an instant, all the myriad demonic shadows in the dark dimension collapsed.

With no further obstruction, the densely packed dark dragons flapped their wings and, like locusts swarming across the land, devoured the remaining dark dimension at an even faster pace.

……

……

The internal universe within us is now vastly different from what it was before.

With Lin Yu actively accelerating time, the universe within his body had clearly departed from its initial form, with various gaseous substances scattered throughout the universe, and under the influence of gravity, they condensed into high-density gas clouds.

If this continues, it won't be long before the first generation of stars and star systems are born.

This is naturally the situation Lin Yu hopes to see.

However, considering that the primordial universe also had many uses, Lin Yu did not allow the entire internal universe to participate in the evolution. Instead, he separated a region from the universe, keeping it in its most primitive form after the Big Bang.

In that isolated region, matter can still only appear in its most basic form.

The extreme high pressure and temperatures reaching billions of degrees Celsius turned the entire area into a boiling pot of plasma soup.

Various microscopic particles collide wildly here, like a swarm of restless fireflies rushing through a sea of ​​photons, creating endless particle hurricanes.

Until one moment, a figure made entirely of flames suddenly burst into this hellish energy furnace.

The entire area instantly erupted in chaos, with various microscopic particles, like sharks that had smelled blood, excitedly surging towards the humanoid flame.

In an instant, a bluish-white light, a million times brighter than the midday sun, swept over, like a torrent of light, completely engulfing the humanoid flame.

But soon, the humanoid flames were reassembled and revived in this sea of ​​light.

The next second, a violent torrent of photons surged forth, like countless red-hot steel needles, piercing through the body at the speed of light and tearing the reassembled humanoid flames apart once again.

Thus, the humanoid flame was constantly torn apart by the violent particles and energy, and then constantly reassembled and revived by its own power.

In other words, there is no medium for sound transmission here; otherwise, one would surely hear his incredibly shrill wails and screams.

Fortunately, this hellish torment did not last long.

Soon, a terrifying consciousness descended upon this place from the darkness.

In an instant, all the microscopic particles, like soldiers paying homage to a king, stopped moving in a way that defied the laws of physics, and silently floated in the void.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding ocean of light receded rapidly, revealing a stable cavity about 100 meters in diameter.

After the cavity was formed, streams of particle light converged from all directions, condensing into a human-shaped figure.

Unlike Dormammu's blurry, fiery face, this figure had very clear features, and judging from his appearance, he seemed to be a handsome young human.

"……It's you?!"

Dormammu trembled, his eyes wide with horror and fear as he stared at the light and shadow before him.

Although he had never seen the young man's appearance, the vast and terrifying consciousness had already left a deep-seated fear in his mind and body.

As long as his mind has not been extinguished, he will never forget!

"This is your... no, your dimension?"

"Not bad!"

Lin Yu looked the mental entity in front of him up and down, and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "The Fartings are indeed quite something. Luckily, the Ancient One told me the information in advance, otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to devour your Dark Dimension!"

Even before entering the Dark Dimension, the Ancient One had shared information about Domam with Lin Yu.

The flames that constitute Dormammu's mind are what he calls the 'Faldin Flame'.

This flame is composed of the most primal and mysterious energy, and is truly immortal and capable of infinite rebirth!
That's why, after discovering Dormammu's mental entity, Lin Yu didn't hesitate to connect with his inner universe and have his main consciousness personally take action to capture Dormammu's mental entity.

Otherwise, even if Dormammu were killed, he could be reborn in the Dark Dimension using the power of the Flames of Faldin.

By then, Dormammu certainly won't be going head-to-head with Lin Yu like he is now.

If he changes his mindset and keeps running away, the host-guest relationship between the two will be reversed, and even someone as strong as Lin Yu will only be able to spend time playing hide-and-seek with him.

In fact, this was also Dormammu's bargaining chip in negotiating with Lin Yu when he was in a weak position.

Unfortunately, before he could reveal his cards and chips, Lin Yu overturned the table and captured his mind and body, taking him into his own inner universe.

"Damn the Ancient One!"

Dormammu's body was writhing in flames, clearly showing that he hated the Ancient One for providing the information to the extreme.

Lin Yu was happy to see someone cursing Gu Yi, so he didn't say anything to stop it.

Of course, although he had opinions about the Ancient One, that was all.

If asked to release Dormammu to seek revenge on the Ancient One, he definitely wouldn't do it.

Even bad friends are still friends!

Lin Yu was quite clear about the distinction between friend and foe.

"I have to admit, your Faldin Flame is quite interesting."

"If I hadn't made some progress recently, I really wouldn't have been able to find a way to control myself in such a short time..."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words of amazement, Dormammu trembled with fear.

Before he could respond, Lin Yu changed the subject, saying to himself, "However, it's a real shame to erase your mind like this. How about this, I happen to need some high-quality souls. With your aptitude, you barely qualify to become my familiar..."

At this point, the intention to persuade them to surrender was already obvious.

But Dormammu showed no joy; instead, his expression shifted, and he was in great inner turmoil.

If it were anyone else, they would have agreed without hesitation under the threat of death.

But Dormammu, after all, was once the lord of the Dark Dimension, and he knew all too well how troublesome his familiars were.

Once he truly becomes Lin Yu's dependent, it means he has given everything to the other party.

At that time, let alone the Dark Dimension, even his mind and self will be like dough in Lin Yu's hands, which he can knead however he wants.

"..."

After struggling for a moment, Dormammu gritted his teeth and pleaded in a low voice, "Great and exalted Your Majesty, I have already lost my authority, so why do you continue to torment me?"

"If you let me go, I am willing to give you all the knowledge I have acquired in the past!"

"This knowledge comes from countless dimensions of life, including not only the life's work of many powerful beings, but also powerful secret techniques that only dimensional masters can learn!"

Dormammu paused for a moment, then said with a slightly seductive tone, "I can see that your dimension is relatively new and has not yet devoured any other dimensions."

"But with this knowledge, you can, like me, grow stronger by devouring other dimensions and become the overlord of the entire multiverse at the fastest speed!"

...The multiverse?

It seems this guy hasn't realized he's no longer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Lin Yu remained noncommittal, saying calmly, "That sounds very appealing..."

"But what if I say no?"

Dormammu gritted his teeth and said, "Then you will never gain this knowledge!"

This is indeed true. Although Dormammu has lost his connection with the Dark Dimension, he can still seal his mind and body and live and die with his self and memories thanks to the Flame of Faldin.

Under these circumstances, even Lin Yu would not be able to find a way to search for souls in a short period of time.

At most, we could forcibly erase his mind and kill him within his internal universe.

Lin Yu said coldly, "Dormammu, have you misunderstood something?"

"Now you have only two choices: either open your mind and become my servant, or stay here and endure eternal torment..." After he finished speaking, Dormammu remained silent, clearly having made his decision not to become Lin Yu's servant.

"That's the latter!"

Lin Yu spoke calmly, then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Dormammu's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Wait—"

Before he could utter a complete sentence, the ocean of light surged forth and completely engulfed him.

……

……

At the same time, Lin Yu's true consciousness hovered high in the sky, indifferently watching the humanoid flames that were constantly tearing and reforming in the sea of ​​light.

It must be said that Dormammu is quite something to have become the Lord of the Dark Dimension.

He knew that Lin Yu would not allow him to retain his complete self and mind, which was why he was using his soul and knowledge as conditions, and was now gritting his teeth and bargaining.

And this is indeed the case.

As long as he agrees to become Lin Yu's familiar, Lin Yu will not hesitate to erase his mind and guide the remaining Flame of Farting to give birth to a completely new consciousness.

From this perspective, Dormammu's choice was quite wise.

Unfortunately, he overestimated his attractiveness to Lin Yu.

Admittedly, the secret techniques and knowledge he possessed were undeniably tempting, and his mental form, comparable to a brilliant-level soul, was worth Lin Yu's time investing in.

Ultimately, however, these things were merely icing on the cake for Lin Yu.

If we can get our hands on it, that would be great, but if we can't, it doesn't really matter.

Anyway, Lin Yu has plenty of patience and time. He can completely wear down Dormammu's mental entity and see who can outlast whom in the future!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu withdrew his gaze, intending to leave Dormammu to his own devices for now.

But at that moment, a thought suddenly struck him, and he gazed thoughtfully at the ocean of light.

He left this area behind simply to maintain the diversity of the universe within him.

But now it seems that this place can serve as a natural prison!

If, in the future, we encounter another formidable opponent like Dormammu, who possesses immortality, we can imprison him here and subject him to eternal and endless torture.

With this in mind, Lin Yu no longer hesitated and immediately mobilized his authority to begin transforming the area.

……

……

At the same time, in the Marvel Universe, in the Dark Dimension.

At this moment, Lin Yu's golden core clone had separated from the body of the dark dragon and transformed into a handsome young man in white robes, quietly floating in the dark void.

Beside him, a colossal dragon, over a thousand miles long, lurked in the darkness.

Its jet-black dragon scales blended into the deep darkness around it, with only its scarlet dragon eyes visible.

From a distance, they appear as if two stars are suspended in the sky, emitting a chilling crimson light...

Clearly, Lin Yu had not abandoned this dark dragon body, otherwise his eyes wouldn't be so bright.

In fact, when his true self descended into this world, he deliberately separated a wisp of his consciousness to take over the body of the dark dragon, so that he could become the true master of the dark dimension in the future.

At this point, Lin Yu now possesses four clones in addition to his original self.

These are, respectively, the Golden Core clone who walks the path of magical cultivation, the Douhuang clone from the Doupo world, the Xuanyuan Sword clone from the mythological universe, and the Dark Dragon clone in the present moment.

The most powerful of them was originally the Golden Core clone.

But now, the Dark Dragon's clone is steadily devouring the Dark Dimension. When it completely controls the entire dimension in the future, the title of the strongest clone will naturally change hands.

Looking at the colossal creature hidden in the darkness beside him, Jin Dan Lin Yu smiled and said, "Dormammu has been imprisoned by me, and no one in the Dark Dimension can stop our intrusion."

"In that case, I'll leave the rest to you."

"I need to go to the Mirror Dimension first and check on that old geezer, the Ancient One..."

The dark dragon nodded, a slight movement that carried boundless power, causing terrifying spatial ripples.

Lin Yu paid no attention to the spatial ripples passing by. With a wave of his sleeve, the surrounding space shattered like a mirror, revealing the mirror space belonging to the dark dimension.

But before Jin Dan Lin Yu could even take a step and enter, a majestic, dignified, and holy aura emanated from the shattered mirror space, instantly dispelling the darkness and illuminating the void.

"...Is it over?"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and followed the aura. Sure enough, he saw an old man in white robes and with a white beard step out of the mirror. Under the white light of his whole body and the illusory eyes behind him, he looked solemnly at the dark dragon behind him.

In his perception, this dark dragon had clearly lost the aura that belonged to Jin Dan Lin Yu, and its entire body was brimming with dark power that was extremely similar to Dormammu's.

At first glance, it looked as if Dormammu had taken over the body and killed Lin Yu.

"what?!"

Gu Yi looked bewildered, unsurprisingly misunderstanding what had happened in the Dark Dimension.

This is not surprising, after all, the dark dragon's body was too huge and the dark aura it emitted was too dense, so much so that the Golden Core cultivator Lin Yu next to it was completely obscured and could not be detected at all.

In addition, Lin Yu himself holds a very high position, so Gu Yi cannot see anything that involves him.

This caused the Ancient One to lose her most reliable source of information, and she showed surprise and astonishment, which is extremely rare for her.

Upon realizing what was happening, his expression turned solemn. He immediately formed hand seals, his entire body radiating a holy and majestic white magical power. He stared directly at the dark dragon hidden in the void and said in a deep voice:
"Evil!"

"What the hell?!"

Before the words were even finished, a familiar voice of complaint came from the void below the dark dragon.

Gu Yi was slightly taken aback before noticing the white-clad youth who was completely shrouded in darkness.

"...You're not dead?"

Seeing the surprise on Gu Yi's face, Lin Yu's expression darkened, and he said irritably, "Nonsense!"

"You can take on three at once without any problem, so taking on Dormammu one-on-one is a piece of cake for me, isn't it?"

"That's true!" Gu Yi nodded with a smile, then turned to look at the dark dragon hidden in the void. "So, this dark dragon is another incarnation of yours?"

"Yes."

"congratulations!"

"Joy and rejoice together!"

Lin Yu gave a casual, perfunctory answer, then asked curiously, "How are your rivals doing now?"

"Especially that Varna. When I was infiltrating the Dark Dimension, I heard his name quite often. It's said that he possesses a lot of forbidden dark magic, and even Dormammu is extremely wary of him..."

"Don't worry!" the Ancient One said casually. "The reason Dormammu is wary of Varna is because he doesn't understand the dark magic Varna possesses, so he naturally can't deal with it perfectly."

“But I am different. I can do all the magic that Varna knows, and I can also do the magic that Varna doesn’t know.”

"He naturally can't use those dark magic spells in front of me..."

Does that mean you're also a trained dark magician?

Lin Yu looked at Gu Yi with a strange expression.

Gu Yi coughed and said seriously, "As the saying goes, knowledge is neither good nor bad, power is neither benevolent nor evil, as long as it can..."

"stop!"

Lin Yu interrupted him without hesitation, saying irritably, "I'm not here to listen to your lectures. What does it matter to me whether you know black magic or not?"

"I'm more concerned about the three dark sorcerers—did you kill them all?"

"This is not."

Gu Yi answered honestly, then raised his hand and flipped it over, taking out two fist-sized earthenware jars.

"Goodness, the urn is already prepared?"

"What urn!"

Gu Yi said with a dark face, "This is a soul jar that I personally crafted!"

Judging from the name, it's clearly something that stores souls.

Lin Yu asked curiously, "Then why are there only two?"

Ancient One shifted her gaze to the Soul Jar on the left, and said in a low voice, "Valna was no match for me. In desperation, I used dark magic to devour that demon in order to increase my power."

"I see!"

Lin Yu's expression showed understanding, and then he stared intently at the two soul jars: "So now the question is... what do you plan to do with the souls of these two dark mages?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Gu Yi sighed softly, "Of course, we should take them back and imprison them. The Supreme Sanctuary has dimensional prisons that I set up specifically to seal these powerful and evil souls."

"What a coincidence!"

Lin Yu said with a bright smile, "I also built a similar prison, but there are currently few residents. For now, only Dormammu's mental form is living there..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi's eyelids twitched, and she looked at him warily, asking, "What do you want?"

Lin Yu blinked and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I just feel that Dormammu is a bit lonely. If you really can't face your old friends, why don't you give them to me? They can keep Dormammu company, what do you say?"
