The Death of Kaecilius

After shouting, Hulk charged straight towards Kaecilius.

The sentence was vague and didn't specify where Xia Yu was waiting for them, but Doctor Strange and his companion understood that Xia Yu was responsible for dealing with Kaecilius.

Fortunately, Xia Yu opened a portal in time, allowing Doctor Strange and the others to enter the Avengers' base.

Without further ado, Xia Yu took out several small magical artifacts left behind by the Ancient One to repair the Sanctum.

"Kaecilius, our people will take care of him. The Ancient One said before that you are the Sanctum to completely solve the Dormammu problem. She left behind a few stones that can repair several Sanctum immediately to stop Dormammu's invasion. But she also said that you must have a way to solve everything. I'm giving you the choice."

Doctor Strange remained silent.

If it weren't for that last sentence, Doctor Strange would have undoubtedly taken the stone and used it to repair the Sanctum without hesitation, but the Ancient One trusted him.

This time, we needed the Ancient One's help to overcome the difficulty, but what about next time? If Dormammu's problem isn't solved, it will be an endless series of troubles.

But how do I solve this myself? I have absolutely no idea.

Mordo spoke.

"Since she says you can, you definitely can. I'll put these magical artifacts away for now. If it really doesn't work, I'll fix everything at the last minute, but I hope I don't have to do it myself."

"I need some time."

Doctor Strange spoke calmly.

Xia Yu intended to respect Ancient One's advice and try not to interfere in this matter, but given the situation just now, it was clear that his intervention was different from what was depicted in the movies, and he felt he had to step in.

But regarding the final Dormammu incident, he thought it best to let Doctor Strange give it a try.

Anyway, with the Time Stone as a cheat code, it should be like in the movies, with endless negotiations.

Doctor Strange really needs to think this through. Dormammu won't be here for at least another ten hours, so he needs to make some thorough preparations.

Xia Yu nodded in understanding and first took them to the Sky Temple. Apart from the array, Xia Yu had already repaired the Sanctum's architecture.

Only then did they open the portal to check on Kaecilius's condition.

Kaecilius and Hulk fought their way from an old street to the beach. The Avengers had already evacuated the crowd beforehand, so there were no innocent casualties. A lot of houses did collapse, but someone will clean up the mess.

When Xia Yu arrived, Kaecilius was lying on the beach in disarray, seemingly badly injured by the Hulk, but his injuries were visibly healing.

Just when he seemed to have recovered most of his strength, Hulk suddenly jumped up and unleashed a barrage of heavy punches on Kaecilius.

Then he jumped up and landed heavily again, repeating this four or five times before Hulk plopped down next to the once more scattered Kaecilius.

"He's indestructible; Hulk's tired."

Hulk threw a childish tantrum, probably because Kaecilius's regenerative abilities were too strong.

Poor Kaecilius, he must have been modified and forgotten many of his magical instincts. If Hulk were to fight Doctor Strange and his crew, he probably wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of them.

However, Kaecilius actually chose to go head-to-head with the Hulk, and it's unclear how many times he's been beaten by the Hulk and left lying on the ground slowly recovering.

Xia Yu casually tossed a large bucket of ice cream from his ring; it was Hulk's favorite.

He came to his side and looked at Kaecilius, who was lying on the ground recovering.

Upon getting closer, Xia Yu could see clearly that Kaecilius's fatal weakness was in his bones. After being roughly handled by Hulk, his skin, flesh, and even his internal organs were completely shattered.

However, not only were the bones completely undamaged, but they also emitted a faint black aura, which must have been the black aura that repaired Kaecilius's body.

Of course, the strength within the bones is definitely limited; it's just unknown how many times it can support repairs. Xia Yu has no interest in slowly experimenting.

With a thought, the Aether slowly transformed into an ancient sword, which Xia Yu tentatively swung at Kaecilius.

Xia Yu didn't use much force with this sword strike. The blade collided with the bone, producing a metallic clanging sound. It went in less than a few centimeters before he felt it get stuck inside the bone.

Xia Yu withdrew his hand, and the ancient sword rubbed against his bones, producing a piercing friction sound. A little bit of black energy came out from it and dissipated into the air.

This black aura is likely the source of Kaecilius's power and the Source of Dormammu's dimension; it's something filled with despair, evil, and resentment.

The darkness sought by the Dark Elves who had fought Xia Yu before was not a form of power.

The hardness of these bones is indeed quite impressive; no wonder even the Hulk's strength couldn't damage them.

This time, Xia Yu stopped wasting words and intensified his efforts, wielding his sword with lightning speed as he began the massive task of tearing Kaecilius to pieces.

As the black mist dissipated, Kaecilius gradually let out painful and unwilling cries. It was as if he felt nothing when his bones were split open, but the dissipation of the black mist filled him with agony.

Kaecilius joined Kamar-Taj in an attempt to resurrect his wife, only to find that the magic there couldn't fulfill his wish.

By chance, he came across a forbidden book about the Dark Dimension and Dormammu, but these things were strictly prohibited in Kamar-Taj.

Kaecilius had already given up, but he inadvertently discovered that the Ancient One was using certain rituals to obtain power from Dormammu to sustain her life.

This caused the man, who was obsessed with resurrecting his deceased wife, to become fixated on this idea, which led him to become Dormammu's representative on Earth.

"Alas, you were a pitiful person after all. Rest in peace!"

As Xia Yu's final sword stroke cleaved open Kaecilius's skull, a black aura over a meter long shot out from his corpse, emitting a mournful wail that resonated directly within his soul.

This is a mutated soul that has been almost completely corrupted by darkness.

The spirit emerged and let out a mournful howl. It circled aimlessly in the air for a moment, hesitated, and then actually floated towards Hulk.

Fortunately, Xia Yu reacted quickly, and a palm strike destroyed the soul entity.

Hulk, completely unaware of what was happening, stood by.

Rest in peace!

Without the black energy, the bones were no longer as tough as before. Xia Yu shattered them into bone dust with a single palm strike, sending them flying into the air.

The atmosphere in the sky was somewhat oppressive. In places invisible to the naked eye, Xia Yu could sense that Dormammu was getting closer and closer to Earth.

Today, while watching my grandma, I casually turned on the TV to watch Avengers. She can't distinguish between people on TV and reality anymore. She said Thanos was glaring at her, and then when there was a close-up shot of Thanos, grandma suddenly said, "I'll kill you!!"
