Dormammu Trembled in Fear
Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Dormammu's intelligence seemed to be on full display as he quickly began to analyze his current situation.
The robots Xia Yu released were equipped with nuclear weapons and could self-destruct.
It is incredibly powerful, but its quantity seems limited, and it may not be able to exhaust all of its energy.
What's infuriating is Xia Yu. Dormammu doesn't know what other tricks he has up his sleeve, and he won't take the risk, nor does he dare to.
So Dormammu made a decision he had never made in all those years: he decided to run.
Carefully avoiding the areas teeming with robots, Dormammu found a corner and began to shrink his body as much as possible.
However, due to the limitations of his soul strength, he could only transform into a human form at a minimum size of two meters, which was already the ultimate in condensation.
As the robots continued to self-destruct, the area covered by the Dark Energy was becoming smaller and smaller.
Xia Yu, using the immense mental power he had obtained from Ego, began scanning area by area.
Xia Yu quickly detected the energy fluctuations on Dormammu's side.
"Found you!"
Xia Yu exclaimed in surprise, secretly thinking how lucky he was.
Although the area covered by the Dark Energy was much smaller, the Dark Energy had a strong blocking property, so Xia Yu could only observe less than one-thirtieth of the area at a time.
Having located Dormammu, Xia Yu immediately created a portal to him.
Without any preamble, Xia Yu appeared out of thin air and punched Dormammu in the head.
Dormammu's power comes from his immense energy; this small body is no match for Xia Yu.
Unsurprisingly, Xia Yu smashed his head with a single punch.
This time, Xia Yu focused intently on his soul, and with a flash of light Xia Yu struck out with a palm.
However, Dormammu possesses near-teleportation abilities within the range of Dark Energy, even though Xia Yu had already prepared his other hand to snipe his soul.
At the last second, Dormammu managed to escape, grazing Xia Yu's palm strike.
A mournful wail echoed from the void.
Although Xia Yu's palm strike grazed Dormammu's soul, it still damaged his Source.
Although Xia Yu's attack was only a drop in the ocean compared to Dormammu's powerful Source, it was the first time in many years that Dormammu's soul had been directly attacked.
Dormammu, who had escaped death, was even more terrified. This time, he changed locations several times before secretly managing to condense a body once more.
This time, Xia Yu was even faster. Half of his body had just taken shape when Xia Yu descended from the sky and shattered it with a single palm strike.
With his other hand, he unleashed a wide-range attack similar to "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin."
Xia Yu's idea was simple: since he wasn't confident he could finish it off in one go, he might as well switch to area-of-effect attacks and see how many hits the opponent could withstand.
Sure enough, Dormammu was hit by Xia Yu's attacks three or four times this time.
Although he escaped death, the damage to his soul caused Dormammu's spirit to tremble in some corner.
"Damn ant, once I return to the Dark Dimension, I will use every ounce of my energy to kill you."
Dormammu was both afraid and angry.
As long as he could return to the Dark Dimension, he didn't particularly care about the energy loss. Compared to the endless energy of the Dark Dimension, what he brought out this time was not even a drop in the ocean.
However, injuries to the Source of the soul cannot be repaired overnight.
Dormammu has grown to be so powerful over countless years, devouring countless lives and planets.
His soul's Source directly determines how much Dark Energy he can mobilize at once, which is his fundamental combat power.
Dormammu's soul is hidden within Dark Energy, striving to stabilize its fluctuations.
This time he was smarter. He hid for a while, and his soul cautiously emitted a tiny, faint fluctuation.
After sensing that Xia Yu's mental energy had scanned the area, he quickly began to absorb energy and condense it into his body.
He decided to abandon this enormous energy; he would instead condense a smaller body and use that small amount of energy as propulsion to escape.
Xia Yu did not come this time as expected.
Just as Dormammu was preparing to carve out a space to escape, a robot charged at Dormammu again.
Before Dormammu could teleport away, the self-destruct sequence was activated a dozen meters away from Dormammu.
The powerful explosion caused fluctuations in the space, and Dormammu dared not teleport away at this moment, as his soul could be torn apart by the spatial fluctuations.
Since leaving is not an option, the only choice is to forcibly gather energy and try to increase their defensive capabilities as much as possible before the explosion.
Even so, Dormammu still lost about one-thousandth of his Source at the epicenter of the nuclear explosion.
Don't underestimate this one-thousandth. If you don't absorb it, even if you cultivate in the Dark Dimension for thousands of years, you might not be able to condense that much Source.
"Roar!!"
Dormammu let out a low, mournful howl.
Hiding in a small corner again, after Xia Yu's mental scan, she cautiously sensed the presence of any robots nearby.
Dormammu reformed his body once more.
Xia Yu descended from the sky once more. What Dormammu didn't know was that Xia Yu was simply scanning randomly, rather than going through the entire area piece by piece.
It can only be said that he was unlucky.
Again...
Again...
I don't know if Xia Yu was lucky today, or Dormammu was unlucky.
In short, many times afterward, just as he was about to condense his body, Xia Yu would discover him in time and attack.
Dormammu huddled in the corner, trembling, and hadn't dared to make a move for almost an hour.
The robots have mostly self-destructed.
Using the power of technology, Xia Yu managed to consume two-thirds of the energy brought by Dormammu.
This was an incredibly exaggerated number, but Xia Yu showed no sign of happiness.
He knew that unless Dormammu was completely destroyed, everything he had done before would have been in vain.
Xia Yu also deployed a large number of technological surveillance systems around this space, so that Xia Yu would know immediately if Dormammu dared to leave this space.
But a full hour passed, Dormammu made no move whatsoever.
Xia Yu simply abandoned the mental scanning and instead flew around the space with the last four robots, occasionally teleporting to a random location.
Attacks would occasionally appear from his hands, bombarding the void aimlessly.
One hour...
Three hours...
Almost two days have passed in the blink of an eye...
Poor Dormammu, the mighty lord of dimensions, is like a pathetic protagonist in a horror movie, hiding from assassins or ghosts.
Hiding in the corner, he didn't dare to move. Xia Yu brushed past him several times, and Xia Yu's attacks landed not far from him on several occasions.
Dormammu almost cried out.
God knows, if Dormammu had a human body, he would probably be drenched in sweat and his heart would be pounding like it was about to explode.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Just when Xia Yu was almost starting to suspect that Dormammu had already escaped, he suddenly stopped, whether due to the immense pressure or the ignition of his anger.
Xia Yu's attack landed less than five meters in front of Dormammu's spirit form.
Dormammu went completely berserk.
