Kino's Humiliation

The Great Serpent also sensed the deaths of the two Heavenly Hammer Venerable, but paid no attention to them.

The Heavenly Hammer Venerable's role is to create fear, transferring the power of fear to him through the Serpent's Fang. But now he has a better way, although the quantity is not as large as a single attack.

But its advantage lies in its continuous supply.

As for that device, it cannot be turned off without a key, and forcibly destroying it is useless.

Dark Dimension.

"Demon King, have you had enough?"

A middle-aged man had a dark complexion.

"I'm sorry, I only became the Demon King in the last two years, and my power is somewhat out of control. Perhaps I should leave now!"

Kino felt a little embarrassed and stood up to leave.

"It's alright, it's alright. I was just worried that your body might not be able to handle absorbing so much energy. Let's continue talking."

"Haha, Lao Duo, you're such a nice guy. It seems the outside world has had a deep misunderstanding about you."

Kino sat in a palace made of energy, above which energy vortexes appeared, constantly plundering the world's energy.

Opposite him was a middle-aged man with black hair; he was Dormammu in disguise.

"That's right, that's right. I'm actually a very nice person, but some people are using the banner of protecting the world to stop me."

I don't want to destroy the world, I just want to rule it and make humanity my slaves. Many humans are already slaves to others, why can't they all be my slaves?"

Dormammu still looked resentful as he spoke.

"Haha, you're right, it's all their fault."

Kino chimed in, insisting that the problem was not with you, but with the world.

Dormammu felt a mix of relief and heartache.

The feeling of comfort came from being flattered by a powerful individual of equal strength.

I feel sorry for him because this guy has absorbed so much dark energy and he's still not satisfied.

But we have no choice but to keep him here. The plan has already begun, and if we kick him out now, all the previous losses will be wasted.

Kino, with a beaming smile on his face, was talking to Venom.

[Has Venom still not been found?]

No, this guy is even more skilled at hiding his true nature than Mephisto. He has broken down the dimensional core into countless pieces. In other words, this Dark Dimension is the opponent's dimensional core.

[Never mind then, find a chance to come back.]

Should we stay here any longer? The Earth is probably in chaos.

It's alright. With Lucifer, the Ancient One, Pamela as our support, Earth won't descend into complete chaos.

Moreover, this is also a test for the Demon Group; I want to see what they will do without me.

Why is Pamela included? How strong is she now?

[I don't know either, but beating Odin should be no problem.]

Outrageous...

"Demon King, are you really not going to reconsider my suggestion? Your territory can expand indefinitely."

Dormammu continued to persuade and tempt him.

Earth occupies a crucial cosmic position, connecting multiple dimensions and outer space.

Controlling Earth would allow Dormammu to use it as a base to expand into other universes and dimensions, realizing his ambition to conquer the multiverse.

"Hey! Lao Duo, don't be fooled by my majestic appearance as the king of Earth. I have my own hardships too."

I was actually threatened into ascending the throne. This throne is like sitting on pins and needles. I don't even dare to kill a few humans, and I have to act as their babysitter.

"Forget it, let's keep drinking. It's not good to involve Lao Duo."

Kino looked dejected, put down his glass, and hesitated to speak.

Dormammu, sensing an opportunity, quickly asked, "Continue, who threatened you? I'll kill him for you."

"Sorcerer Supreme"

Dormammu's face stiffened upon hearing the name.

"Two years ago, when I had just become the Demon King, I was captured by the Sorcerer Supreme, threatened, beaten, and even starved."

At this point, Kino covered his face with his hands, his body trembling, and it took him a while to recover before he continued.

"Then she made me sign a contract to protect the Earth. It's one thing for a demon king not to enslave humans; I could just leave. But she made me protect humanity. Do you think a human would do that?"

When he got excited, Kino slammed his fist on the table and smashed it to pieces.

The palace doors opened instantly.

Countless powerful monsters from the Dark Dimension charged in, wielding weapons, and stared at Kino with ferocious expressions.

"Old Duo, what does this mean?"

Kino unleashed the aura of a demon king, glaring dangerously at Dormammu before him.

Dormammu quickly explained.

"They are my dance troupe. This isn't the first time guests have come to the Dark Dimension, so I just wanted to liven things up."

"Oh, I see. Then let the performance begin. I'd love to see your art, Lao Duo..."

Upon hearing this, Kino sat down again and looked at the powerful monsters in front of him.

The monsters looked at each other, bewildered. Dancing? They only knew how to fight. Finally, their gazes fell on Dormammu.

"What are you looking at me for? Get started your performance!"

Dormammu commanded.

The master has spoken, so there's no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

In an instant, the palace was filled with the glint of swords and the clash of fists. The monsters' "performance" was full of bloodshed and slaughter, with every move and stance a real battle.

Soon, blood flowed across the entire palace floor.

Dormammu's lips twitched.

"Old Duo, your art style in the Dark Dimension is a bit too extreme."

Kino was still there, adding insult to injury.

"They might have had some guests, and they were just too excited; they're not usually like this."

They only stopped when most of the monsters were dead. Dormammu used his energy to annihilate the corpses. He figured he should find some more intelligent subordinates in the future.

"Old Duo, I feel so excited after watching that performance. Let's go find the Sorcerer Supreme right now and cut off her head."

Then we'll divide up the Earth together, grow bigger and stronger, and create even greater glory!

With that, Kino reached out to grab Dormammu.

"Wait, calm down, let's continue drinking."

Dormammu broke out in a cold sweat and quickly grabbed Kino.

When you actually arrive on Earth, you'll see that you and the Sorcerer Supreme will be dividing me up.

"Sigh! Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. After all, that woman is really terrifying, and she even... ugh!"

Kino couldn't help but cover his face in humiliation.

Venom's voice echoed in my mind.

Aren't you afraid she'll come and beat you up if you make such a ridiculous claim about the Ancient One?

[I'm not worried, it's all homework I worked so hard on. Wanda got a B, but I only got an E. But that's not all; the real problem is they made me practice my handwriting even more! It's so insulting.]

She's right, you really should practice.

Is there really such a difference?

Kino was starting to lose confidence.

To put it simply, if I hadn't first inhabited your body and read your memories, I would have thought they were classical Chinese texts.
