Chapter 172 Dormammu Also Has a Black Boss
The fall of Magik clearly pleased Dormammu, whose maniacal laughter echoed through the void: "You dare challenge the master of the Dark Dimension?"
Dormammu's magical flames transformed into countless blades, sweeping across the entire dimension. Magik swung his greatsword, drawing a silver barrier in the air.
They withstood Dormammu's first wave of attacks. At the same time, Rune raised his hands, and enormous tentacles emerged from the shadows, tightly binding Dormammu.
"Give us some time!" Doctor Strange shouted. "We can use magic to banish them!"
Rune turned around and said, "As soon as possible."
With Dormammu's power restrained, Clee and Doctor Strange begin preparing an exorcism spell. As Dormammu's niece, Clee is well aware of the weaknesses of the Dark Dimension. She channels her Falting energy and runes' dark magic, combining it with Doctor Strange's white magic.
A giant magic circle was formed.
Doctor Strange, with the help of Vishanti, whispered an ancient exorcism spell.
Dormammu sensed the danger and tried to interrupt the spell, but the huge dark tentacles not only bound him, but Magik also used the rune tentacles to throw and his own teleportation ability to quickly reach Dormammu's heart. He then took out his greatsword and stabbed it in. The blade collided with the dark energy and burst out with a dazzling light.
But Dormammu was still able to cast spells, and the entire Dark Dimension began to collapse, attempting to crush them. His body swelled, transforming into a fiery giant that blotted out the sky. Not only did he break free from the runes' tentacles, but he also slammed his fist into the ground, spewing out all-consuming dark energy from the cracks.
For the first time, Rune unleashed his full magical power. Under the influence of the Transfiguration spell, everything around him transformed into a giant stone golem. It roared and fought Dormammu. Its powerful and outrageous dark magic made it exceptionally resistant to magic, even Dormammu found it troublesome.
Damn it, Red Skull didn't tell me I was going to fight someone like this!
Since magic was almost ineffective against the giant stone golem, Dormammu had no choice but to dismantle it physically, but he knew in his heart that it was probably too late.
Sure enough, before the stone golem was even half destroyed, Klee shouted, "Now!"
The next moment, Doctor Strange and Clyde acted simultaneously. The former unleashed Vishanti's Supreme Exorcism, golden runes binding Dormammu like chains, while the latter channeled the energy of the Dark Dimension, silvery magic surging towards Dormammu's physical form like a torrent. The two forces merged, forming a massive magical vortex, and Dormammu's body began to disintegrate.
"I will return!" he roared, the rules of the Dark Dimension repelling him. With a final, blinding flash, Dormammu was forcibly expelled from the Dark Dimension, his roar echoing through the void until it vanished completely. The battlefield fell silent, but the Dark Dimension remained unstable, energy storms raging.
Klee knelt down on one knee, panting, "He won't be banished forever—he will come back."
"Yeah, yeah, we all know Dormammu will definitely come back, but that's not the point." Rune rolled his eyes.
Dormammu certainly didn't want to give up the Dark Dimension. With this dimension existing, his magical power was limitless; the energy emitted by just one star could power the casting of a massive spell, not to mention the energy released when countless stars in the Dark Dimension were born and destroyed. However, Cly also possessed the qualifications to inherit the Dark Dimension—after all, in terms of seniority, she had to call Dormammu her uncle.
Therefore, the statement "Dormamu will definitely come back" is completely meaningless.
"Something's happened to Earth again?" Doctor Strange was already lying on the ground, but he still managed to extend his right hand. Strange felt that he was almost safe now and was paying off his debts. The backlash from the various spells had left his arm covered in cracks, making it look like a badly damaged cell phone screen.
"Indeed." Rune nodded. "And something serious has happened. Do you still have the Time Stone?"
Strange said with difficulty, "He just disappeared these past few days, and I don't even know who did it. Then Dormammu showed up and joined in. And, most importantly, we both could tell that Dormammu wasn't serious. You know what I mean? If he really went all out, our battle wouldn't last five days; it would be over in three hours."
Five days? Rune frowned. "Dormammu really went all out—so he's probably just trying to stall you?"
The armor on the cryptid disappeared, and she reverted to her appearance as an ordinary girl: "That's amazing. Just how many good things did Red Skull give him to make a dimensional demon god willingly risk his life for him?"
"This isn't risking your life." Rune shook his head. "Isn't it obvious? Dormammu did receive a gift from Red Skull, but the gift wasn't anything special. Perhaps Dormammu himself is considering whether to interrupt his plans for this gift and fight a battle with his nemesis that he's almost unprepared for."
"So, for Dormammu, Red Skull wasn't paying him enough, so he chose to slack off?" Doctor Strange's expression was strange. "No wonder he hasn't gone all out. I thought he was afraid of pushing me too far and using those less-than-ideal spells!"
Chris was somewhat amused and exasperated: "We really have to thank that heartless boss this time."
"Let's go." Rune waved his hand. "Hurry up and get to the main world. If we don't go soon, Strange will be replaced."
Doctor Strange raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
"There's still one Strange in the main world," Magik said mischievously, nudging Clee with his elbow. "Maybe this Strange is a fake!"
"FXXK!" Strange cursed, then his expression hardened. "I have to deal with him myself! Whether he's a Skrull or some other multiverse self, it's my responsibility—and—"
His expression turned grave: "Red Skull is most likely the one who stole the Time Stone—no, he must have ordered someone to steal it. That person is most likely Baron Mordo or Kaecilius. And if the other me has indeed sided with Red Skull, then Red Skull may have already mastered powerful magic."
"In fact, I suspect he's already collected all six Infinity Stones," Rune shrugged. "Now he's also stolen Professor X's powers through a brain transplant—"
Now it was Magee's turn to scream.
"A berserker? Or a berserker with six Infinity Stones?"
She was the Sorcerer Supreme of the Hell's Frontier. Unless something truly terrible happened, she didn't have time to go to Earth. So she was completely unaware that the main world had become so dangerous.
