Schemes for the Pocket Dimensions

That meant something, and they understood it perfectly well.

Though no one had explicitly said that light and darkness, or good and evil, had to be opposites and enemies,

it was difficult for two Dimensional Demon Gods whose attributes countered each other to coexist peacefully.

Because their attributes countered each other, it was almost impossible for them to become allies in the same camp.

From the birth of the universe to the present, nearly ninety-nine percent of those whose attributes countered each other had become mortal enemies.

The remaining one percent who couldn't stand each other were also foes who never spoke again.

"What do you mean?"

Dormammu looked at the silent group, growing a little anxious.

"What's in it for us?"

"You should know that his primary target right now is very likely you. If we form an alliance, we'll be up against that newly born Dimensional Demon God."

"What do we get out of it?"

Mephisto looked at Dormammu and asked.

"Name your terms. We can discuss anything we're willing to accept."

Dormammu spoke up.

"My demand is simple: help me reclaim the Eternal Fire. Otherwise, even if we sign an agreement, I won't be much use."

"That's acceptable. If the opportunity comes, I'll definitely help you."

Dormammu agreed to Surtur without hesitation.

Besides, what Surtur said was true.

"I..."

"Then..."

Mephisto, Hades, and Lucifer also stated their demands.

"You're taking advantage of my desperation!"

Dormammu roared furiously.

"You don't have to agree."

The three of them were utterly confident.

"..."

"Fine!"

Thinking of Huang Yun, Dormammu agreed to their demands.

But for some time to come, he'd probably have to work for the three of them.

Still, signing the alliance agreement eased much of the crisis he felt inside...

Chapter 22: Schemes for the Pocket Dimensions

Huang Yun's current target was the pocket dimensions attached to Earth.

They were called pocket dimensions, but in truth they were no different from orthodox dimensions.

The only difference was that these dimensions were protected by the Sanctum Sanctorum and Asgard.

So the Dimensional Demon Gods couldn't invade them.

But Huang Yun was different.

As an honored guest of Asgard and the creator of the Book of the Heavenly Dao at the Sanctum Sanctorum,

his standing on Earth was far from low.

More importantly,

these pocket dimensions had no lords.

So they had avatars throughout the multiverse.

If this Earth had a particular pocket dimension, then other Earths might have it too.

Though they weren't as powerful as true dimensions, Huang Yun's current task was to first perfect the laws and rules of the Bright Realm.

The Bright Realm was still far too young.

Although Huang Yun had accelerated its evolution, the Bright Realm wasn't suitable for living beings yet.

Its aura of light was too powerful. Ordinary living beings who entered the Bright Realm would be assimilated.

After all, it was the embryonic form of a five-dimensional universe.

Ordinary living beings couldn't reach that dimension.

But as long as they could merge with an armor, their bloodlines and bodies could be gradually transformed, slowly becoming compatible with the Bright Realm.

That was why Huang Yun had created the Book of the Heavenly Dao.

He needed to find subordinates.

A dimensional war wasn't merely a war between two lords of dimensions.

It was a war between two worlds.

A lord of a dimension might win, only to find that the enemy's subordinates had looted his dimension and left it in disarray.

It would take a long time to restore it.

Even if he devoured the other dimension, his gains would be greatly diminished.

Besides, while it was easy for Dimensional Demon Gods to defeat one another, devouring each other was extremely difficult.

It would be somewhat difficult for Huang Yun to land a one-hit kill by himself.

Because he still hadn't found a way to kill a Dimensional Demon God.

Under Marvel's rules, Dimensional Demon Gods were immortal and indestructible. As long as their dimension remained intact, they were effectively immortal.

Even if they died in the outside world, they could be reborn in their own dimension.

As for destroying a dimension, there were only two known methods!

The first was for the dimension's lord to self-destruct!

But would they do that?

Obviously not.

The second was for a Dimensional Demon God to be killed by another demon god, leaving the dimension without its central figure and returning it to a lordless state.

Then, if someone found the location of the dimension's heart and destroyed it, the dimension would be destroyed.

But both methods were extremely difficult to carry out.

"I should visit the Sanctum Sanctorum first and discuss the pocket dimensions."

There was no need to remain in the Bright Realm after finishing his analysis of the Primal Power Gem.

After all, the Bright Realm had nothing in it yet.

"Whoosh~"

"Your Excellency, welcome back to Midgard."

Agamotto had already sensed Huang Yun's arrival through the Book of the Heavenly Dao.

"Your strength has improved quite a bit."

Huang Yun looked at Agamotto in surprise.

Though Agamotto was also a lord of a dimension,

he was one of the Triune God, along with the other two Ancient Gods.

On his own, he was only around Dormammu's level.

But now, Huang Yun could clearly feel that Agamotto had grown considerably stronger.

"I have your Book of the Heavenly Dao to thank for that. This book has truly taught me a great deal."

Agamotto's eyes lit up at the mention of the Book of the Heavenly Dao.

In his eyes, the Book of Vishanti that the three of them had created was laughably weak!

It couldn't compare to the Book of the Heavenly Dao at all.

Even the Darkhold was far inferior to the Book of the Heavenly Dao.

After spending this time reading it, Agamotto felt that the book seemed to contain all the principles of the heavens and earth.

Moreover, the laws of the world explained in the book were completely different from those of the existing world.

And yet they were just as profound, mysterious, and filled with the principles of the universe.

Though its laws were entirely different, it had formed a vast world no weaker than the current Omniverse!
