The mechanical craze in Marvel

If the enemy is from Earth, they will at least show leniency because they are both Earthlings, and give the other party a chance to repent and start anew.

However, these dimensional lords and Earthlings are sworn enemies, and there is no possibility of them coexisting peacefully. For them, only dead dimensional lords are the best dimensional lords.

As for keeping promises, that wasn't really important to them. After all, they didn't see the two sides as the same species, and keeping promises to another species was meaningless. Only a few people frowned slightly, but they quickly dismissed the thought.

"So what should we do next? Go and cause trouble for that dimensional lord?"

Tony Stark looked at Nolan Locke and then asked a question.

Nolan Locke then looked at Stephen Strange beside him and asked him:

"Can you use time to foresee what will happen next? For example, the current situation of the dimensional lord we are looking for, and whether he knows the answers we need. Perhaps with the power of the Time Stone, we can find Mephisto directly, without needing to search for other dimensions."

But Stephen Strange shook his head and said helplessly:

"This is extremely difficult. Although the power of time preservation is strong, it is impossible to predict the specific outcome, especially after your appearance, when the entire future has become chaotic."

Even through my observation of the power of time's preservation, I don't know why, but I simply cannot see a future with you in it. In other words, all the futures I can see are without you.

Upon hearing this, Nolan Locke showed a look of surprise. He originally thought that this problem was not a big issue for Stephens, after all, the power of time preservation was very strong, although Stephens had indeed said so before.

The power he maintained through practice could not see his future existence, but under these circumstances, he felt that the Time Stone had the ability to correct the universe, and since he had lived in the universe for a very long time, the Time Stone should soon bring him into its monitoring range as well.

Under these circumstances, he believed that even if Stephen Strange couldn't make an accurate prediction of his own future, predicting some general situations wouldn't be a big problem. However, he never expected that Stephen Strange would say that his Time Stone couldn't predict his existence.

This made him feel very strange. Could it be because he was a time traveler? But he didn't understand why a time traveler would be completely isolated by the Time Stone. However, now was not the time to explore this question.

For him, the most crucial thing now is to find the male protagonist of that dimension. Since finding the dimensional lord through time is not a very clear method, they can only repeat the current situation and directly block the door.

Once he finds the other party's dimension, blocks the entrance to that dimension, enters the dimension, and binds the other party, he will naturally be able to find Morpheus's location. This time, he is certain that there will be no other problems.

While Nolan Locke was carrying out all these operations, Mephisto had already prepared to cause trouble for Nolan Locke. A huge pocket had been set up specifically for Nolan Locke. As long as Nolan Locke appeared in the dimension, he would inevitably enter his pocket and be completely eliminated by him.

Although North Stephen Strange knew that Nolan Locke was very powerful, and even had some helpers, he never underestimated his own and Dormammu's power.

Although neither of them is at their peak right now, he believes that with the combined power of their two dimensions, they can definitely defeat Nolan Locke. He doesn't mind starting a massive dimensional war for Nolan Locke.

For him, defeating Nolan Locke would be a tremendous boon. Once he dealt with Nolan Locke's remaining Earth enemies, although they were quite powerful, stopping them would be virtually impossible.

Next, he will be able to divide the Earth's space together with Dobham. After entering the Earth, he will experience unprecedented pleasure, and for him, there is nothing more important in the world.

Looking at the million-strong army before him, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. Suddenly, Dormammu appeared before him and brought him news:

“I have received intelligence that Nolan Locke seems to have entered a dimension, but we do not know where he is at the moment.”

Upon hearing Dormammu's words, Mephisto's face also showed a solemn expression. Although he planned to besiege Norlan Locke, he also knew that Norlan Locke was not an opponent that could be easily dealt with.

Therefore, he was very concerned about Nolan Locke's current whereabouts, since Nolan Locke's whereabouts would determine their next move.

And to be honest, he was also a little worried that Nolan Locke would appear in front of him and behead him. If that happened, even if he was prepared, no matter how large the army was, it wouldn't be of much use.

He didn't want to be beheaded, as that would be a devastating blow. Even if Dormammu were to deal with Nolan Locke afterward, it would be meaningless to him. Therefore, he was very concerned about Nok's whereabouts.

Perhaps Situ considered it for a moment, then, seeing Mao Duo's numbness, he spoke:

“We don’t know where Nolan Locke is going, but we can roughly guess that he must be looking for the location of the Hell Dimension. So, in any case, we just need to wait in the team. As for what he’s doing outside, that’s all we need to do.”

It makes no sense to us, and if he goes to the wrong place and finds another powerful dimensional leader, it wouldn't be a bad thing for us.

After all, Nolan Locke is extremely powerful. If he were to barge in directly, it's questionable whether we could easily resolve this situation.

However, if Nolanlock first engages in a major battle with other powerful dimensional lords, then we will have the advantage.

Dormammu's face turned serious upon hearing this.

"What if Nolan Locke dies? You know there are many powerful dimensional lords in this universe, and there are more than one who is stronger than us."

If Locke had been dealt with before this situation, we would have missed a perfect opportunity.

Upon hearing Dormammu's words, Mephisto's face curved into a smile, and he spoke calmly to Dormammu:

“We’ve fought Nolan Locke so many times, but it seems you still don’t really understand his strength.”

Do you think Nolan Locke will be dealt with so easily?

Upon hearing this, even the most numb person showed a serious expression. It was indeed a huge problem; Nolan Locke's strength was truly formidable.

They had fought Nolan Locke many times before, and each time they had suffered a crushing defeat. Last time, they joined forces with several of Earth's strongest fighters, and they believed they could definitely defeat Nolan Locke.

Even so, neither of their negative energy clones returned, causing their strength to be severely damaged again, which was simply unimaginable for them.

“You’re right. I underestimated Nolan Locke. I think we should just wait and see. Hopefully, he can start a war with the other dimensional lords first, so we can reap the benefits.”

This would also reduce some losses; otherwise, if the losses were too great, invading Earth wouldn't be so easy once Nolan Locke was dealt with.

This instantly reached a consensus. However, they were unaware that Nolan Locke had already found the second dimensional lord through the previous one and attacked it directly. The second dimensional lord was even stronger than the previous one; otherwise, it wouldn't have been qualified to enter the Hell Dimension in the first place.

Now, facing the combined attack of Nolan Locke and other powerful figures, he was defeated in an instant. There was no way around it; the gap between the two sides was simply too vast. Not to mention Nolan Locke, even Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, could easily defeat him.

Now, even though he can unleash even greater power in his own dimension, he is facing the most luxurious lineup in history. Under these circumstances, he is defeated without even having the strength to resist.

After obtaining the location of the Hell Dimension, Nolan Locke dealt with the dimensional lord, but he did not immediately head to the Whispering Dimension.

Now that we know the location of the lower dimension, the next thing to do is to make some simple adjustments and make all the necessary preparations.

Only then can we attack the Hell Dimension. Otherwise, if a problem arises, the final result will definitely be devastating. For example, he has now used his spatial gate to transport the entire army from the dimensional rift to this location.

Opening a portal directly from a dimensional rift into a lower dimension would be far too far, and would consume far too much magical power. Let alone him, even if he and Stephen Strange opened the portal at the same time.

Direct entry is virtually impossible, as it would severely limit their offensive capabilities. However, if they use this place as a springboard and then open a spatial gate to enter the Nether dimension, the distance would be significantly reduced.

This not only frees up Stephen Strange's combat power, but also allows him to open up space using only his own magic, enabling his army to enter the Nether dimension, which is a huge boost to his combat strength.

While these armies were not very effective against Morpheus and Dormammu, they were able to prevent the armies from the other dimensions from besieging him.

Even if the siege by these regional armies couldn't have a significant impact on him, it was still a huge problem for the helpers he had brought.

Moreover, those armies from different dimensions are not made of clay. If Nolan Locke has no help to stop him, he may eventually be surrounded and killed by those armies.

Although the possibility was very low, Nolan Locke could not ignore it. There were no other objections. For them, this was indeed a very important matter. Tony Stark looked at the ever-growing mechanical army in front of him.

A sigh appeared on his face. His Stater Technology also had a large mechanical army, but compared to Nolan Locke's mechanical army, it was a completely different concept.

His Stark Tech army consisted of elite troops he had created, but in terms of numbers, it was far inferior to Nolan Locke's army. Although Nolan Locke's army was weaker in quality, these mechanical armies were all born for war. The power that these war-ready mechanical battalions could unleash was far beyond what his steel legions could match.

Under these circumstances, he even abandoned the development of the Steel Legion. Although he retained some of the Steel Legion's design, it had essentially lost its potential for use.

Compared to Nolan Locke's army, his mechanical legion was far inferior. In the event of a real war, Locke Technology's army would be the only means of warfare, while his steel legion would be far inferior. Under these circumstances, he was only keeping some of the steel legion's structure in order to deal with any problems that might arise with Nolan Locke's army in the future.

In other words, this was his insurance policy for Locke Technology. He always had only one concept: although many of Locke's friends were friends, he only ever trusted himself. Especially based on some of Nolan Locke's actions, he was completely certain that Nolan Locke had a lot of influence. Although he was also a superhero, Tony Stark was his friend, but as a superhero, he couldn't completely trust Nolan Locke.

His Iron Legion was originally intended to be used against Nolan Locke's army, but it seems it cannot be used now.

However, now is not the time to consider these things. Their biggest problem right now is how to deal with Mephisto.

……

Chapter 389 Mephisto's Preparations

"Next, we should attack the Hell Dimension. We have now located the Hell Dimension, but we are still not very clear about the situation inside the Hell Dimension. Perhaps we should send out some scouts to try to find out the internal situation of the First Dimension first. Otherwise, if we are besieged, it will definitely not be a good thing for us."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They didn't want to be surrounded and attacked as soon as they entered, since they didn't understand the situation in this region. If that happened, it would be a terrible prospect for them.

However, despite having such ideas, how to explore the situation within the regional dimension was a huge problem for them, even an insurmountable one. After all, they had absolutely no understanding of the situation within the regional dimension, and without any understanding, it was simply impossible to do these things.

Nolan Locke smiled, then looked at everyone and said:

"We don't know much about dimensions, but I don't think it's a very bad thing. There are other ways to get information about dimensions. In fact, I do know some things. There are other things that exist within dimensions."

However, besides these, I also have some mechanical legions capable of undertaking this task, probing into dimensions and perhaps finding out about the situation in the lower dimensions. Although I don't know if we can enter and retreat from the lower dimensions before they react, at least we can obtain detailed information about the lower dimensions. The only difference lies in whether we are passively attacking or actively discovering the enemy's trap and then launching an offensive.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief. For them, not knowing the situation in the lower dimensions was indeed a very dangerous thing. After all, the situation in the lower dimensions was terrible. That was Mephisto's territory. Mephisto was one of the most powerful dimensional lords in the dimension, and his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

Under these circumstances, if they cannot obtain specific intelligence, being besieged would be extremely dangerous for them. Moreover, the existence of Mephisto cannot be ruled out. If Mephisto is also the case, and they have already made preparations, then the combination of the two dimensional forces would be a terrible prospect for them.

Of course, even if they knew that the two sides had joined forces and were still forced to attack Hell, for Nolan Locke at this moment, entering the Hell dimension to find Mephisto and obtain the solution to the curse from him was the only feasible way. Any other methods besides the blueprints were simply too unreliable.

Nolan Locke's strength will only increase over time, and this is their only good opportunity to attack. If they miss this opportunity, it will be a huge and unacceptable loss for them.

However, now is not the time to talk about these things. Tony Stark watched as Nolan Locke's legions produced many new specimens, but he didn't know what was so special about these legions that made them so powerful that Nolan Locke was able to add them to the mechanical legions at this time.

Originally, he wasn't very familiar with the strength of these mechanical legions, nor was he particularly interested in them. After all, their strength was of little significance to him. However, now, Nolan Locke's meaning was very clear: these mechanical legions would be able to help them find out what was happening in the regional dimension. He just didn't know what kind of army Nolan Locke planned to send to do this.

Nolan Locke had no intention of playing games. He directly dispatched a mechanical legion, a legion that was originally quite inconspicuous and lacked any offensive capabilities. However, after Nolan Locke activated it, these mechanical robots instantly went into stealth mode. Seeing these robots right in front of them, everyone's faces showed shock. Only then did Nolan Locke begin to explain!

"These robots have now left this dimension and are heading towards lower dimensions. These robots are an effect I created using a combination of technology and magic."

They lack offensive capabilities, but their mobility and stealth abilities are exceptional. Their movement utilizes a spatial teleportation system, further enhanced by a magical system. This combination of technology and magic maximizes their mobility and stealth, but also renders them devoid of offensive weapons. Once discovered, their only option is to attempt escape; failure to escape results in dismemberment.

Despite its many weaknesses, its superiority is undeniable. The only pity is that these robots, while able to transmit intelligence after entering, cannot evacuate on their own because their energy is insufficient to support the means of jumping back and forth between the two sides. However, this is more than enough for us. As long as we can bring back the relevant intelligence, their value is more than sufficient.

At this point, Nolan Locke's face showed a hint of heartache. These robots may seem unremarkable, but their production costs are extremely high. After all, this is a robot created by combining technology and magic. It uses Shock, a technology that has excellent resistance to magic. Moreover, it's not just this technology; in addition, a large amount of precious metals are added to achieve the existence of this detective robot.

If all of these detective robots are destroyed, it will probably be impossible for it to build new robots for a long time. However, this matter is not so important to it now. She only hopes that she can get the relevant information when she enters the first dimension.

After all, without relevant information, it would be extremely dangerous for him. He hoped that he could bring people in safely, obtain information, and ultimately evacuate everyone without anyone being injured or killed because of this incident.

If someone dies, then for Nolan Locke, the seriousness of the matter will be beyond his strengths. For him, it would probably be simpler to just enter another universe, harvest technology points, and rebuild a body.

However, this was merely his current conjecture. For him, the matter was already irreversible, and since things had come to this point, he naturally couldn't simply slink away. While Nolan Locke and the others were explaining the situation, these reconnaissance robots had already reached the edge of the dimensional realm, possessing incredibly high mobility.

Although they lacked combat capabilities, their speed was already at the edge of a sub-dimensional realm. There were no anomalies outside of this sub-dimensional realm. Both sides explored using magical and technological means but failed to detect anything. After that, these robots directly entered the Hell Dimension in a state of invisibility.

Sensing the situation there, Mephisto suddenly frowned. He sensed something bad, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was happening. It gave him a very uneasy feeling.

"what happened?"

Seeing Mephisto's expression, Dormammu asked.

Morpheus considered it for a moment, then spoke to Dormammu:

"I'm not sure. It seems like something has entered the dimension of the underworld, but I haven't found anything when I try to explore it with my powers. Maybe it's just my imagination."

This was highly probable for him, given his extremely strong control over the pre-dimensional Earth. No one could escape its control in a lower dimension. Under these circumstances, although he did feel as if something had entered the first dimension, after a detailed investigation, he found no one. In his opinion, this was very likely due to some problems in his mind caused by Nolan Locke's existence.

So he didn't take it to heart, but the animal beside him changed its expression slightly after hearing this and spoke directly to Mephisto:

“I know you are very confident in yourself and your control over the regional commissions, but what if Nolan Locke has other means to sneak into the first dimension without us noticing? Perhaps what you perceive is not an illusion caused by the pressure you exert on Nolan Locke, but something has actually broken in, we just don’t know it.”

They spoke very cautiously. He originally had a certain degree of confidence in himself. He believed that no life could enter the dark dimension without being detected by him. However, as he interacted with more and more Locke,

He simply couldn't fathom how powerful Nolan Locke truly was, so he no longer trusted his own strength or that of Mephisto. Even though Mephisto was far more intelligent than him, he still couldn't trust him.

Upon hearing Dumam's words, Mephisto glanced at him with a displeased expression.

To Mephisto, Dormammu's words were a direct challenge to his power. However, these dimensional lords had absolute control over their dimensions, and no one could break through that control. He couldn't understand why Dormammu thought he couldn't detect the life that had intruded.
