Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 501 Dormammu should be treated as a boss and farmed.

Dormammu was very satisfied with the believers' success.

They actually managed to take down that troublesome Sorcerer Supreme; it was an unimaginable success.

Although it seems unbelievable, it makes sense when you think about it carefully.

The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, is incredibly strong, ridiculously strong. She overwhelms many demons, leaving them all feeling utterly helpless and exploited.

But the Ancient One was human.

Humans are very fragile; if you're not careful, you can be killed by a knife.

Dormammu became increasingly satisfied with his great victory, and so he decided to give Kaecilius a great reward.

Dormammu's voice was so powerful that it resonated with every dark follower present, filling them with immense joy: "My followers, you have offered your loyalty and souls, and I am very satisfied!"

"I have decided to let you bask in my glory, and I will bless you!"

Kaecilius was practically bubbling with excitement, shouting, "Great Dormammu, I'm willing to offer everything, just please grant me divine grace!"

Dormammu was even more pleased: "My believer, as you wish!"

"In the name of Dormammu, I bestow upon you the power of darkness and corruption!"

"After I have completely conquered this world, you will also gain eternal life and knowledge of all truths!"

"My lord! I will sacrifice everything to fight for your conquest of the earth!" Casillas banged his head on the ground, letting his soul be further corrupted by darkness.

The desolate star core burst into flames of black magic, and a colossal hand, obscuring the sky, reached out from the torn heavens and grasped the soul that had completely let down its guard.

A vast dark power was poured into it, and by taking advantage of Kaecilius's human nature, using his soul as a springboard, it descended upon Hong Kong.

A giant black hand suddenly grew out of Casillas's body.

This giant hand seemed to be the embodiment of a demon god, constantly radiating corrupting darkness and decay.

Wherever the giant hand went, everything was rapidly corroded; even reinforced concrete buildings collapsed quickly under the intense erosion.

Life shrouded in darkness ages at an alarming rate and then dies a miserable death.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, tear!

After several attempts with sparks flying, the portal finally opened, and Xia Zuo and Doctor Strange jumped out.

Shazor pointed to the enormous black hand and asked, "Mage, is that Dormammu?"

Doctor Strange, fresh out of the beginner's village, stared in disbelief: "Aba, aba aba—"

"That's Him!" The portly King Mage emerged from the silently opening portal and answered Xia Zuo's question.

"Kaecilius used himself as a medium to summon Dormammu from another dimension. The Sorcerer Supreme said that only the power of the Eye of Agamotto could banish Dormammu, who represents the power of darkness, back to the Dark Dimension."

Doctor Strange held the Eye of Agamotto in both hands, closed his eyes, and chanted a spell. The magical artifacts in his hands opened layer by layer, revealing the emerald green Time Stone.

As the incantation continued, the Time Stone shone with a green light, and in the instant of its brilliance, the power of time took control of the sky and the earth.

All the decaying and collapsed buildings, the earth turned to ashes, and the human bodies corroded into black mud, stopped in an instant and then flowed back quickly.

Apart from Doctor Strange himself, Shazor, and the sorcerer Wang whom Shazor protected, only the giant hand towering in the sky remained unchanged.

Actually, the giant hand was temporarily unaffected because it was far enough away.

Everything else flows backward in the green time.

The dead rise from the dead, collapsed buildings are rebuilt, spilled water flows back to its source—so many miracles unfold before their eyes under the great power of time reversal.

The novice sorcerer Strange has just been given the title of Doctor Strange, but his magic and mental strength are ultimately insufficient.

Just as the green power of time was about to envelop Dormammu's giant hand, Doctor Strange suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Strange, panting heavily, took a while to recover and said with shame, "Mr. Shazo, I... my power is too weak. My magic is simply not enough to power the Eye of Agamotto."

Master Wang frowned deeply: "This is terrible. If Dormammu isn't driven away, we won't be able to stop the darkness from continuing to infiltrate. It's only a matter of time before the Dark Dimension devours the Earth."

Xia Zuo looked at the two mages with a strange gaze, trying to probe their inner world.

Well, Strange is a rookie; he doesn't know how to hide his emotions and state of mind, and he clearly lays everything on his face.

It seems he was just as naive when he was a doctor; no wonder he offended so many people in the past.

Strange:

Master Wang is like a stone in a big river, smooth and round without any sharp edges, making him easy to get along with.

It's actually quite heavy and slippery, making it difficult to handle.

Master Wang not only showed no emotion on his face, but even Xia Zuo's [Mind Network] could not detect a single brainwave from him.

This is a truly flawless body, second only to the Ancient One who encompasses all things in terms of power and perfection. It is far superior to the erratic and unpredictable Strange.

A glint flashed in Xia Zuo's eyes.

He had a vague suspicion that the librarian, Master Wang, was the true successor to the Ancient One and the true Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj.

Strange, the high-profile Sorcerer Supreme, was merely pushed forward to deal with the disaster.

In the novel *Investiture of the Gods*, this was the skill that the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were most adept at.

He could find any disciple, train them into a "master" in a few years, give them a powerful magic weapon, and then leave to participate in the Investiture of the Gods, the great calamity of King Wu's conquest of King Zhou, to protect himself and his lineage from disaster.

Oh dear, it's terrifying to think about.

However, none of this concerns him; Shazor is more interested in Dormammu right now.

He looked up with interest at the giant hand in the sky, then leaped into the air, transforming into a shooting star.

They went after that giant hand.

Golden flames emanated from Xia Zuo's body. This was the ki that Saiyans had painstakingly cultivated, forming a protective layer by friction with the air during flight.

This was a real meteor, which shattered the towering, arrogant dark giant hand in a single strike.

Xia Zuo remained in the sky, his aura still burning fiercely, illuminating the defeated dark forces and causing them to flee from the light of the golden flames like insects in a sewer.

Seeing the inescapable dark power, Xia Zuo sneered, raised his hands to his temples, and shouted, "Solar Fist!!"

The boundless energy transformed into immeasurable light, instantly transforming the world from a colorful darkness into absolute light capable of blinding the blind.

The dark power hidden beneath the surface, which was evolving into all sorts of monsters, was instantly evaporated.

Even Dormammu, who was hiding in the dark dimension and trying to squeeze out, was in great pain from the boundless light and let out a terrible scream.

After a long while, Dormammu finally recovered from the damage caused by the light. With a sliver of his power, he controlled Kaecilius, flew into the sky to face Shazor, and uttered a vicious threat: "Human! I will definitely kill you!"

Xia Zuo laughed: "Hahaha, alright, come on over here if you dare!"

Dormammu:

He's not stupid. This guy just released such terrifying light so easily. How could he dare to come back to Earth and get beaten up again?

Dormammu's eyes darted around: "Hmph, my true form is too enormous to come to Earth. If you dare, come to the Dark Dimension!"

Xia Zuo: "The mighty ruler of the Dark Dimension is nothing but a coward!"

Dormammu roared in fury, "I'm not!"

Xia Zuo beckoned with his finger: "Come here!"

Dormammu: "————, I'll blew you away—blew beep beep beep—!"

The two remained locked in a stalemate.

Dormammu was thoroughly humiliated and refused to project his power onto Earth under any circumstances.

Xia Zuo also sensed the terrifyingly huge mass of power in the Dark Dimension, and his heart pounded with fear. He dared not venture into the Dark Dimension.

【Huh? How could I forget? I have a special adventure skill!】

Dark Dimension!

The Dark Dimension is a desolate and lifeless universe, the source of all darkness and corruption.

Yes, this is a universe, boundless and lifeless, containing only decaying, soft planetary remnants and the ashes of life.

In the completely corroded void, a colossal dark figure stood atop the planetary ruins. Black demonic flames burned on its surface, only its eyes gleaming with endless coldness.

He is Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension!

He was once just a mage who had mastered dark magic, but by chance he entered the dark dimension, fought a great battle with the innate demon god in the dimension, and won the battle, seizing the demon god's power.

Now He has grown into an inexhaustible demon god, ruling over all matter and thought in the dark dimension!

However, at this moment, He was panting heavily, and each breath could form a void storm that swept across dimensions.

"Humans! Damn humans!"

"The Ancient One deserves to die, this new human who can emit light deserves to die even more, all of humanity deserves to die!"

"Damn Casillas, how can you be so fragile? You can't even withstand a fraction of my power!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!"

"Oh, how interesting." Shazo suddenly appeared on the decaying planet not far away, looking at Dormammu and laughing, "So even dimensional demons can be impotently enraged."

"Moreover, incompetence is truly repulsive."

Dormammu froze, staring at Shazor in disbelief. After a long while, he finally reacted: "Human, you, you actually dare to set foot in my dimension!?"

"You're courting death!!"

With Dormammu's roar, an indescribably cold and sinister dark power gathered, causing the already lifeless planet to decay and collapse even further.

Good heavens! A planet that was already decaying and rotting can decay again.

The decaying planet beneath Xia Zuo's feet began to tremble violently, and was instantly gripped by a large, multicolored black hand, emitting a shattering roar.

Shazo's body instantly became mangled and broken, and he exclaimed loudly, "Amazing! Dormammu, the evil god!"

In the Dark Dimension, Dormammu's power expanded infinitely, reaching a mythical level where he could chase stars and seize the moon—it was truly terrifying.

After praising him, Xia Zuo shouted, "But I, Xia Zuo, am no pushover! Take my Solar Flare!!"

A burst of intense light erupted in the dark dimension. Surprisingly, the light lost its speed and could only slowly expand its territory like water being poured into a mud pit.

As time went on, darkness began to erode the light, and the milky white radiance was quickly polluted, becoming mottled and gray, and eventually extinguished completely.

Xia Zuo, who was at the center of the intense light, was crushed by the endless darkness and instantly turned into broken pieces of wood.

The wood shavings stunned Dormammu.

That's right, the one who came was not the real Xia Zuo, but a wood clone.

The moment the wooden clone was destroyed, Xia Zuo received feedback from the clone and couldn't help but express his doubts: "Damn it, I couldn't even see Dormammu's face clearly."

"My clone entered the dark dimension and was most severely affected in terms of thought."

Xia Zuo then created a new wooden clone, amplified its will a hundredfold, and jumped into the dark dimension through a rift in the spatial dimension.

As soon as he entered the Dark Dimension, Shazo stared wide-eyed, but still couldn't make out Dormammu's face.

The wooden clone saw only those enormous eyes, as deep as an abyss, their pupils shimmering with ethereal divine light, like swirling vortexes that devoured the emotions and desires of its gaze, leaving only a single fear, and infusing it with even more fear.

If an ordinary person were to meet those eyes, their willpower would crumble instantly, and they would gradually fall into Dormammu's fold, eventually having their soul enslaved by him.

However, Shazor is clearly not included in this category. After sharing the essence of the God of Wealth Shazor, his status is no lower than Dormammu's.

Moreover, Dormammu is dispersed into a vast dark dimension, with his souls scattered throughout. The powerful impact was like a gentle breeze to Shazo, having no effect whatsoever.

It's far less effective than a physical attack.

This is because the rules of the Dark Dimension are different from those of Earth. Dormammu, as the ruler of darkness, possesses supreme power of omniscience and omnipotence in the Dark Dimension, and is invincible like God.

Therefore, on Earth, Shazor could destroy the dark power that Dormammu had been planning for decades and had poured into the region with all his might with a single Solar Punch.

Dormammu is just a dimensional demon. If you're careful not to let him find any loopholes, you can easily drive him away.

If He lost His mind and descended to Earth, maybe several Avengers superheroes would surround Him and give Him a good beating.

Eight punches would be enough to take him down.

However, once they reached the Dark Dimension, it was Dormammu's turn to show off his power; even someone as strong as Shazor was instantly killed.

But it doesn't matter, Xia Zuo has an endless number of wood clones, shadow clones, ice clones, water clones, earth clones, fire clones, and lightning clones.

It's enough to let Dormammu experience the terrifying feeling of being repeatedly killed by players as a BOSS.
