The mechanical craze in Marvel

But what is happening now is far beyond Mephisto's expectations. Under these circumstances, he cannot be certain of the fate of those outside, nor can they easily defeat Stephen Strange here.

Thinking of this, Mephisto had already considered retiring. He didn't want his energy bodies to remain here, especially since he had already been injured.

Moreover, if Ghost Rider has already died in battle, then losing his energy body here would be an extremely huge loss for him, even enough to cripple him.

Originally, although he was injured, he still possessed the Ghost Rider's existence on Earth, and its control over the Earth was still the strongest. However, in the current situation, he is watching as he loses control over the Earth.

While the five Infinity Stones would be a very good thing for them, he was well aware from the beginning that obtaining them would be extremely difficult.

So his original plan was just to give it a try, but now that things had turned out this way, he had lost all hope of obtaining the Infinity Stones, so he didn't want to fight anymore. Thinking this, Mephisto looked at Dormammu and spoke directly to him:

"Dormammu, I think there's no point in continuing this war. I'm preparing to withdraw now. What about you?"

Upon hearing Mephisto's words, the nanny's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He knew the situation was now somewhat unfavorable for them, but for him, if he could obtain those Infinity Stones, then paying a certain price was entirely acceptable.

He was even prepared to sacrifice this body. Even if he sacrificed this body, as long as he could obtain the Infinity Stones, it would not be so difficult for them to invade Earth in the future, and he would surely become the most powerful dimensional lord, without exception.

But now, Mephisto is saying that if he were to fight Stephen Strange alone, even if he could defeat Stephen Strange's gas, he still has great doubts about whether he could defeat Nolan Locke after defeating Strange. In other words, he never thought that he could defeat Nolan Locke on his own.

A look of anger flashed across Dormammu's face.

"Mephisto, what do you think we're here for? Are we here to play house? The war has begun, and we have no room to retreat. At the very least, if we defeat the former Stephen Strange, we can obtain a Time Stone. Even if we want to retreat, we must obtain the Time Stone before we can leave. Otherwise, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain? You know, if we miss this opportunity, invading Earth will probably be impossible. I think you wouldn't want to be unable to enter Earth!"

It must be said that although Dormammu's words were rather simple, Mephisto was still moved by Dormammu.

Dormammu was right; this was indeed their best chance yet. Although it wasn't perfect, defeating Stephen Stellar's Time Stone would be a huge gain for them. At least it would give them some confidence when facing Nolan Locke in the future, considering Nolan Locke's immense power and possession of five Infinity Stones.

However, Nolan Locke had no intention of using the Infinity Stones. In this situation, they could have gained the upper hand by relying on the power of time preservation. Even if they couldn't gain the upper hand, they still had the Time Stone.

Then they would be able to possess extremely powerful endurance and combat capabilities, just like Stephen Strange, which is of utmost importance to them.

Moreover, putting everything else aside, as long as he controls time and maintains it, then from now on, his position with Dormammu will not be the same as it is now, under such circumstances.

Everything he could obtain would naturally be much more powerful than it is now, and although Stephen Strange said that Ghost Rider was dead, that was ultimately only Stephen Strange's side of the story.

He was very confident in his subordinate, Ghost Rider, especially considering that he was accompanied by Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.

There's a saying about their corresponding power: some who know them are incredibly strong, even if one of them couldn't fight Moranlot alone. But the combined strength of the four of them would definitely not be easily defeated by Nolan Locke.

Under these circumstances, they had reason to believe that Stephen Strange had concealed the truth to some extent. Perhaps the Ghost Rider was currently under some restrictions, but he was definitely not dead. Thinking of this, a hint of excitement appeared on Mephisto's face.

“You’re right, but defeating Stephen Strange is not an easy task. We need a good strategy to beat him.”

I think if there's no suitable way, we'd better leave quickly, because I'm not sure just how powerful Nolan Locke really is.

What I'm certain of now is that my contract with Ghost Rider is weakening; perhaps Ghost Rider is now under some kind of restriction. Even if he's not dead, his situation isn't good.

Upon hearing Mephisto's words, Dormammu's face also showed a serious expression.

He didn't expect it.

Despite this, Mephisto maintained a contractual relationship with Ghost Rider and was able to detect that the contract on Ghost Rider had weakened.

If Ghost Rider becomes necessary, then it's probably enough to prove that Ghost Rider's current situation isn't good, and under these circumstances, they really need a sure-fire way to win.

Mephisto was helpless in this matter. Although he was very confident in his abilities, he preferred to use his intelligence to solve problems.

However, in terms of combat, he admitted that he was still far inferior to Dormammu. After hearing Morpheus's words, Dormammu's face showed signs of illness, and he decided to stop holding back, although he still wanted to leave some tricks for Nolan Locke.

But now they have to deal with Stephen Strange first. If they don't get rid of Stephen Strange, then their idea of ​​defeating Nolan Locke is just empty talk.

Furthermore, he needed to ascertain Nolan Locke's current condition.

After all, Ghost Rider's current state does suggest they might be at a disadvantage under these circumstances.

If they don't defeat Stephen Strange soon, they may very well face the consequences of both Stephen Strange and Nolan Locke.

The thought of such an outcome sent chills down his spine.

If this were on his own territory in the Dark Dimension, he would be very confident that he could fight Nolan, but this is not the Dark Dimension, but Earth.

This is Nolan Locke's territory, but his power is suppressed by the Earth Temple's magic array. Under these circumstances, he has absolutely no confidence in fighting against Nolan Locke.

Moreover, with Stephen Strange possessing the Time Stone also present, he didn't hesitate to speak to Mephisto:

"Get ready. It's time for us to go all out. If we don't act now, things will probably get very complicated."

As Dormammu suddenly retreated, Stephen Strange's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this.

He was also very clear that since Dormammu had suddenly made this move, it meant that Dormammu was about to use some methods.

Although Stephen Strange still had some confidence in the Time Stone, its power had now become very weak.

Moreover, Dormammu is not a weakling; he has survived for countless years. Stephen Strange knows very well that Dormammu would never do anything unnecessary, so under these circumstances...

Stephen Strange was extremely small; he didn't even attack the two of them, but instead stood ready.

Seeing Stephen Strange's defensive stance, Dormammu sneered.

"You think you can block this attack like this? It's impossible! Now let me show you what the power of the Dark Dimension is!"

Accompanied by Dormammu's roar.

When an extremely terrifying power was released from Dormammu, Stephen Strange felt a deadly sense of unease the moment it was unleashed.

He could sense that he was completely unable to withstand the upcoming attack. His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively activated the Time Stone.

At the same time, he poured all his magic into the Time Stone, because he was very certain that if he did not do so, he would probably be directly destroyed by this terrifying power, and he might not even have the chance to open the Time Stone again.

As it turned out, he was absolutely right to do so.

The next second, Dormammu's terrifying power slammed into him, instantly disintegrating his body without leaving a trace.

Upon witnessing this terrifying attack, Mephisto's pupils constricted.

As beings from the same dimension, the two lords knew each other very well, and Mephisto had always felt that he knew Dormammu's true strength very well.

So he had some ideas on how to deal with Dormammu, but he never expected Dormammu's power to be so great.

If such an attack were to hit him, he was certain he would have no chance of dodging it.

At this moment, Mephisto felt extremely fortunate. If it weren't for Stephen Strange, he would probably be the one to witness this move in the future.

Now that he has witnessed this dynasty, he will naturally be prepared when he fights Dormammu in the future.

He has already gained the upper hand in this round!

Chapter 372 Nolan Takes Action

After Dormammu's terrifying power shattered Stephen Strange's body, the aftershocks continued to spread outwards, and the entire Mirror World began to crack piece by piece, with these terrifying cracks continuing to spread.

Clearly, this terrifying attack will destroy the entire mirror space if nothing unexpected happens. Once the mirror space is destroyed, then Domam and Mephisto will be able to leave the mirror space and appear in the real world. At that time, they will inevitably intervene in the war between Nolan Locke and the mirror space.

Just as the mirror space was about to shatter, the fragmented golden elephant space suddenly stabilized. Moreover, the forward space, which was about to shatter, began to recover and soon returned to its original state.

The two, who had initially been somewhat hopeful, now looked grim.

There, Stephen Strange, whose body had been reduced to ashes, was gradually returning to a normal human form.

"Damn Time Stone!"

Dormammu said angrily.

This was his true trump card. He thought he could defeat Stephen Strange directly with this terrifying power, preventing Stephen Strange from having the chance to unleash his time-preserving power and thus allowing him to win the war ahead of time.

However, it is now very clear that he was unable to restore Stephen Strange's body using the power of the Time Stone.

In other words, his original plan had been completely shattered. Under these circumstances, he could only use other methods to defeat Stephen Strange together with Mephisto, which was a great humiliation for him.

The most troublesome thing is that now that this situation has occurred, it will not be so easy to defeat Stephen Strange again. After all, although he can still launch an attack like the one before, Stephen Strange must have already made preparations.

How could a well-prepared Stephen Strange be so easily defeated by the attack he just made? The crowd could only wait and see if Mephisto could find a way to restrain Stephen Strange so that he could unleash such an attack. But even so, he didn't know if Stephen Strange would be able to recover after using such an attack.

It's fair to say that Dormammu's mind is starting to become somewhat unsettled due to Stephen Strange's repeated use of time manipulation to regenerate his body.

Stephen Strange broke out in a cold sweat. He never imagined that Dormammu possessed such terrifying power. Under such terrifying power, he was almost instantly destroyed. Fortunately, he was able to unleash the power of the World Stones to restore his body.

Fortunately, he managed to unleash it; he was just a hair's breadth away from death. In that instant, he even felt the line between life and death. If he had succeeded now, he would never let Dormammu use such an attack so easily again.

However, even though that's what he said, he was also very clear that defeating Dormammu and Mephisto was almost impossible for him, even though the two were currently very weak, he saw no hope of success.

Fortunately, all he had to do was delay the two men. Now, Nolan Locke was about to defeat the three brothers, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Once Nolan Locke had completely defeated them, he would naturally be able to deal with the two men in front of him. However, Stephen Strange felt somewhat uncomfortable at this moment.

Nolan Locke had defeated such a powerful enemy, but he had no good way to deal with the two dimensional lords who were already low on health. He could only try to stall for time to get Nolan Locke into the battle, which was a disgrace to him.

After all, he is the successor of the Sorcerer Supreme. As the new Sorcerer Supreme, he should be the one who puts in the most effort when facing the dimensional lords. However, the reality is that he can only assist Nolan Locke. Moreover, the appearance of the Avengers and Hela outside proves that even without him, Nolan Locke could probably handle these enemies.

Or rather, that's why he didn't intend to release the two. For him, being able to hold them off would at least be an attack on him, but if he let them leave and allow others to take action, then everything he was doing would be meaningless.

It could be said that his current entanglement with the two is not for the sake of winning the war, since victory is already assured; he is only after his own pride.

This sounds strange, but that's the reality.

The reason is very simple: he is the Sorcerer Supreme!

The thought flashed through his mind, and Stephen Strange looked at the two of them without making a move.

He was already feeling very weak, and being able to delay the inevitable was already a good outcome for him; there was no need for him to take the initiative to attack the two of them.

That would only make the battle end faster, which doesn't align with his current thinking.

Although Stephens wanted to stall for time in Blue Flag, the two of them clearly didn't have that kind of patience. They were already eager to leave this damned extreme space, and if they dragged it out any longer, they would have no chance at all.

Morpheus glanced at Dormammu, then spoke to him:

"Let's do it again. This time I will restrain him and will absolutely not give him the time or opportunity to unleash his power!"

Hearing Mephisto's words, Dormammu nodded. Without further hesitation, he activated his power once more and charged towards Styx. At this moment, Dormammu's speed was terrifying to the extreme; even in previous battles, he had never displayed such terrifying speed.

Faced with this situation, Stephen Strange's pupils constricted.

The speed was simply too fast; even he had no chance of dodging it.

However, if we don't try to dodge, then we can only try to use the power of the Time Stone to recover.

However, he was now too weak to easily use the power of the Time Stone. If he did so, the battle would be over. So he didn't want to do that, but he really had no other choice.

Just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to activate the power of time preservation, a sudden explosion occurred at the edge of the mirror space.

Then a terrifying portal opened there, and Nolan Locke appeared. Nolan Locke looked at the scene inside. The world here had already been shattered. Although this was a mirror space, the mirror space also reflected the reality. If they hadn't placed the battle in the mirror space, it would probably have had a huge impact on the outside world.

However, this is perfectly normal; Earth is just that fragile when facing a strong opponent.
