I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 263

(It's all fixed now, everyone can read it with confidence.)

"Buzz!"

Countless azure light spots continuously condensed at the deep muzzle, and in less than a second of charging, a devastating beam of energy poured out from that deep, massive muzzle.

"boom!"

A black pillar of light burning with flames collided with a blue pillar of energy radiating brilliant light in mid-air. The raging shockwave, like a nuclear explosion, utterly flattened all the buildings in the nuclear power plant and ripped the surrounding land into the sky.

In this terrifying collision.

The hundreds of gilded magic arrays surrounding the mechanical demon god seemed to have absorbed a powerful tonic; instead of breaking, they became even larger and more stable.

The golden-red chains that were wrapped around the mechanical demon's steel body absorbed a large amount of energy emitted by the mechanical demon. They turned blue-black at some point and then, in a state that seemed both real and illusory, pierced directly into the depths of the steel body as if without any resistance.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the Ancient One raised her hands and clasped them together at the Eye of Agamotto on her chest.

"go!"

With a low shout from the Ancient One, the Time Stone, located at the core of the Eye of Agamotto, flew out and began to spin.

The next second, a powerful force of time suddenly erupted from the Eye of Agamotto.

Under the sweep of this power of time, the nuclear power plant, which had been crumbling inch by inch under the collision of the two terrifying energies, seemed to have time reversed, and incredibly, it gradually returned to its original state.

The black pillar of light, which had shown signs of weakening, seemed to have been re-energized and once again unleashed its terrifying power.

On the other side, the eight-armed mechanical demon god suffered greatly under the differential treatment of this time-reversal power.

Not only did the blue beam of light it emitted retreat and shrink continuously as time flowed backward, eventually transforming into the most primordial azure light spots.

Even the four mechanical arms that had condensed into a giant shield were disintegrated again under His angry gaze.

"No! How could an ant possibly wield such immense power over time? I don't believe it..."

Amidst boundless roars, the mechanical demon god's chest was pierced by the black beam of light, leaving a massive wound several meters long.

"An endless cycle!"

Using the energy of the Eye of Agamotto and the purest dark power "borrowed" from Dormammu, the Ancient One wounded the mechanical demon with a single blow, but he did not relax at all.

No one understands the terror of these dimensional demons better than the Ancient One, who has dealt with countless dimensional demons.

They are no longer ordinary beings.

What would be fatal to an ordinary person is nothing to them.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the mechanical demon looks so pathetic now; at most, it has only lost some energy and its body is a bit damaged.

Given some time, He can easily heal the injuries on this clone.

So, the Ancient One, having seized the initiative, immediately placed two Möbius stripes on her wrists and activated an endless time loop.

In the constant resetting of time.

The black beam of light, containing the power of a single strike from Dormammu, the lord of the Dark Dimension, crashed down again and again.

The mechanical demon god, standing a hundred meters tall, was repeatedly injured and severely damaged in the repeated collisions.

In an endless cycle.

As the mechanical demon was repeatedly struck and injured, it continuously depleted its energy. Without replenishment, it shrank smaller and smaller with each subsequent drain.

The shrinking size of the mechanical demon god also means that the power of its projected avatar is constantly diminishing.

The power of the mechanical demon's avatar weakened with each reset of time, but the Vishanti Cage, which received special care from the Ancient One, not only did not weaken with the mechanical demon's decline, but instead absorbed a large amount of the mechanical demon's power in each collision, becoming increasingly indestructible.

After an unknown number of time loops.

The Vishanti Cage, composed of numerous golden and red magic arrays, connected to form a semi-transparent golden light curtain, firmly imprisoning the mechanical demon god, which had shrunk to a dozen meters in size.

Watching the mechanical demon god undergo a dramatic transformation in size amidst constant heavy blows, Gu Yi did not stop the time loop.

Instead, he once again activated the Eye of Agamotto with all his might.

Only after the mechanical demon god shrank to seven or eight meters and the [Vishanti Cage] almost solidified into a golden-red sphere of light did it dispel the two Möbius rings on its arms.

After dispelling the Möbius, the Ancient One immediately closed her eyes.

············

next second.

The Ancient One's soul entered a strange world through the mark of the dark dimension between her eyebrows.

Amidst the vibrant colors of the world, an aura of eternal annihilation permeates the air. All things here are shrouded in silence, and even the enormous planets that were once teeming with countless lives seem to have fallen into eternal darkness after Dormammu pulled them into this world.

Not long after the Ancient One appeared in this world.

A colossal consciousness suddenly descended from the depths of the dark dimension.

next second.

High above in the endless darkness, the Ancient One saw enormous faces composed of countless stars.

In the center of this enormous face, there are a pair of huge eyes that resemble stars.

These enormous eyes exuded an aura of mystery, vastness, and majesty, but they contained nothing that could be called emotion, not even indifference.

His eyes, like stars, were filled with deep darkness, and deep within those stars were countless twisted and strange runes.

boom!

The moment she saw those giant, star-like eyes, boundless killing intent, depravity, violence, and all sorts of dark emotions surged into the Ancient One's mind.

However, in the next instant, two golden-red runes lit up deep within the Ancient One's eyes.

As the golden-red runes continued to fade, the negative and dark emotions that surged into the depths of the Ancient One's mind were quickly extinguished.

Almost simultaneously with the Ancient One erasing those negative and dark emotions.

Those terrifying eyes, composed of stars, cast their gaze down from the starry sky and landed on the Ancient One.

At the same time, a voice, its origin unknown and its location shifting from near to far, suddenly resounded from the depths of Gu Yi's soul.

"Gu Yi, we meet again."

"I just sensed the surge of dark power, and then you appeared before me. This time, are you truly prepared to fully commit to the dark dimension?"

Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Dimension and the Lord of the Dimensions, had his power amplified many times over by the Dark Dimension.

Here He is far more terrifying than He is in the material world.

Simply by standing in front of her, the Ancient One felt an endless, dark power, like a tidal wave, crashing against her and relentlessly eroding her soul.

However, this time, the Ancient One, who was usually extremely wary of such dark invasions, accepted all of these dark powers that were extremely corrosive to the soul without hesitation.

The Ancient One's action caused a strange glint to flash in Dormammu's eyes.

This seems to confirm the judgment that the Ancient One, who was already on the verge of collapse from repeatedly relying on her own power, was about to surrender to the embrace of darkness.

Before Dormammu could continue his manipulation, the Ancient One raised her hand and threw a ball of primal power extracted from the mechanical demon's avatar into the dark dimension in front of her.

"Enter the Dark Dimension? I haven't lived enough yet. I'm here to make a deal with you."

"trade?"

With a thought from Dormammu, the primal power in front of the Ancient One was swallowed up by a suddenly opened maw.

"Um."

Dormammu smacked his lips, as if he had tasted something. His giant face, composed of countless stars, trembled slightly. He said, "I taste a hint of machinery. Interesting. It seems that you have captured another unfortunate projection of the Dimensional Lord. Tell me, Ancient One, what do you want this time?"

"Of course, if you are willing to directly sacrifice this power of the Demon God's origin to me, and bring Earth into the Dark Dimension to pledge allegiance to me, I can grant you eternal life and power second only to mine, making you the vice-ruler of the Dark Dimension."

While Dormammu harbored deep resentment towards the Ancient One, he also genuinely admired her.

If the Ancient One were truly willing to bring the Earth, with its billions of inhabitants, and the original essence of that dimensional demonic entity to pledge allegiance to him, Dormammu would not hesitate to bestow his rewards.

As for the vice-rulers of the Dark Dimension, that's even less of a problem.

It's just an empty title.

Over countless years, Dormammu himself has almost forgotten how many vice-lords of the Dark Dimension he has appointed.

"hehe!"

With a light laugh, the Ancient One didn't discuss with Dormammu how many lieutenants the Dark Dimension had. Instead, she spoke directly: "I remember you once devoured a magical kingdom. In that magical kingdom, there was a treasure called the Pearl of Asax."

In the endless starry sky, Dormammu's enormous face revealed a mocking expression upon hearing this.

"The Pearl of Asax? You want to use the protective power contained within the Pearl of Asax to repair the Sanctuary barrier on Earth? Do you think I would give that to you, Ancient One?"

Why not?

In response to Dormammu's undisguised mockery, the Ancient One said calmly, "The Pearl of Asax is of no use to you. In fact, if it is left in the Dark Dimension for too long, it will be gradually eroded by the power of the Dark Dimension and turned into a pile of useless waste."

"Instead of letting this useless thing rot in the Dark Dimension, you might as well trade it with me and get that magical clone from me."

"After devouring the essence contained in that demon god's avatar, not only will your power increase further, but even the Dark Dimension will become stronger by analyzing a demon god's law."

"You might even glean a glimpse of the demon god's dimensional information from the information contained within that demon god's avatar. Perhaps you can use this opportunity to find that dimension and then... invade it."

"The benefits of devouring an entire dimension far outweigh the benefits of devouring the material world for a week."

Finally, the Ancient One looked at Dormammu's enormous face and chuckled again, "Of course, you can refuse this deal. You know I have more than one client, and I believe they won't refuse. After all, this time, the primal power projected by that demon god is quite substantial."

Gu Yi had barely finished speaking.

A terrifying will, imbued with hidden rage, descended from the starry sky.

Under immense pressure, the air around the Ancient One seemed to freeze, trembling before this great will.

"You are threatening me."

Faced with this terrifying pressure that even the heavens trembled with, the Ancient One seemed completely unaffected, calmly saying, "No, I'm just stating the facts. You know I can do it, Dormammu."

Looking around at the almost frozen dark power that seemed intent on keeping her here, the Ancient One sighed and said, "Don't even think about keeping me here. I dared to appear here because I was fully prepared. Doing so will only push me toward other demons."

"You wouldn't want to see the other dimensional lords grow stronger, would you, Dormammu?"

After Gu Yi finished speaking, an unknown amount of time passed.

The almost frozen space around the Ancient One suddenly returned to normal, and the enormous will that fell from the starry sky disappeared without a trace.

"You've convinced me, Ancient One."

As a sound rang out, waves of black energy suddenly surged from the depths of the distant dark dimension.

next second.

These black waves seemed to have crossed a vast expanse of space, suddenly appearing before the Ancient One.

As the black tide surged, a jewel shimmering with misty energy was spewed out by dark power that was almost solidified.

The shimmering jewel that appeared before the Ancient One was none other than the Asax Pearl, the national treasure of the Asax Magic Empire.

This was also the target of the Gu Yi's transaction.

It was with this precious pearl that the Asaks Magic Empire built the massive protective barrier that guarded the entire empire.

If Dormammu hadn't seduced a member of the royal family of the Asaxon Magic Empire into corruption, thus destroying the protective barrier built by the Pearl of Asaxon from within...

Even if Dormammu wanted to devour the Asakus Magic Empire, it wouldn't be that easy.

With the Asax Pearl, which possesses its own barrier-like power, the Ancient One could begin repairing the damaged Sanctuary barrier on Earth.

It can even enhance the defensive capabilities of the Sanctuary Barrier to a higher level.

After receiving the Asax, which was the size of a human head, the Ancient One smiled sincerely and said to Dormammu, "You made a wise choice."
