Dormammu cut his losses

Dormammu! Here I come! Solar Flare!

Thud—splat!

The Water Clone a puddle of clear water, which was then polluted and turned into foul water.

Dormammu, here I come again! Solar Flare!

Thud—Crack!

The Lightning Clone transformed into streaks of electricity, which ironically amplified the light.

Dormammu, I, Solar Flare!

Thud—Pfft!

This time, Earth Clone, turning into a puddle of mud.

Dormammu, Solar Flare!

Dormammu, Solar Flare!

"So much sunshine!"

"Sun!"

"Day!"

No matter what methods Dormammu used, Shazo always retaliated with Solar Flare.

A blazing black sun, a colossal hand reaching to the heavens and the earth, a giant wielding mountains as weapons—all these are offensive forces evolved from darkness, and they will burst like soap bubbles as soon as they are exposed to sunlight.

Even the dark corruption targeting the Mind Stone combines the four characteristics of darkness and corruption: corruption, depravity, and rage!

Evil thoughts!

Shazo's clones multiplied, each one shining brightly like a light bulb, illuminating the Dark Dimension.

An infinitely respawning enemy is more terrifying than a time loop, since a time loop automatically eliminates most of Dormammu's pain and doesn't create much pain accumulation.

Being repeatedly attacked by Shazo's clones as if they were bosses is a continuous accumulation of pain, and it's accelerating that accumulation.

Even with Dormammu's demonic nature, capable of enduring decades, centuries, and millennia of solitude, he was still driven to the brink of collapse by Shazo's boss-like fighting style.

Dormammu launched his strongest attack, directing its main force at Shazo's spirit and will.

Because the newly arrived Shazo clone is very familiar with the details of the previous battle and has the experience gained from fighting Him.

This proves that the clone and Shazo's original body share memories, and attacks targeting the spirit and will will inevitably be able to strike Shazo's original body in the World of the Living world.

To counteract the effects of Solar Flare, Dormammu also added a massive amount of smoke, creating a dual attack of matter and consciousness.

To prevent Shazo from escaping, He also solidified the planet where Shazo stood and spread the attack throughout the entire planet, making it truly impossible for anyone to escape.

This was Dormammu's strongest attack. He firmly believed that even the gods of Asgard would be devoured and burned to ashes by the Black Order under the impact of so many negative elements.

However----

"Solar Flare!"

"Sun!"

Damn it!

Seeing Dormammu's ferocious attack, Shazo's clone launched a self-destructive Solar Flare attack without hesitation, draining all its energy in one go and self-destructing before the enemy's attack could get close.

Dormammu's attacks, however powerful, couldn't reach the clones that preemptively disintegrated; instead, he himself was the target of the concentrated attack.

The Solar Flare unleashed a devastating bang! bang! bang! Under the continuous bursts of intense sunlight, the black mist that had enveloped the entire planet dissipated, the overwhelming negative influences were destroyed, and everything vanished into thin air.

A brief area of light appeared within the Dark Dimension.

Dormammu had no choice but to lie down.

After lying down, He was delighted to find that, when faced with Shazo's Solar Flare, the most primal and pure power of darkness and corruption, devoid of any intention to attack, was actually the most resistant state.

Whatever, I'm tired, let it all end.

Oh no, He is not afraid of destruction. He is the Dark Dimension itself. As long as the power of light is powerless to destroy the infinitely vast Dark Dimension, it cannot destroy Him.

When Shazo discovered that the demon was lying on the ground, looking like a helpless fish, he also lost interest.

Because this bastard is truly invincible in the dark realm.

No matter how great the damage, Dormammu absorbs it all, taking all the damage, yet only managing to scratch its surface.

The demon's rage and pain were real, but neither posed a life-threatening danger.

After all, to some extent, it is integrated with the natural element of darkness, and can be considered a kind of law in the Universe, so it is impossible to kill it.

So when Dormammu swallowed his pride and accepted being beaten by humans without a care in the world.

When He felt unbearable pain, He actively shut down the pain warning mechanism and allowed the light to shine upon Him with endurance.

Shazo was helpless against him.

He had exhausted all his efforts, using every kind of power imaginable—punches, kicks, Ninjutsu, immortal Senjutsu, Kido, Haki, True Qi, magic power—but he was still helpless against this lazy Dimensional Demons.

Shazo roared, "Damn it! Get up and fight me!"

"He's just lying there like a lump of dead flesh, neither leaving nor fighting back, acting like a scoundrel!"

Hey, guess what? Dormammu was just playing dead.

He is a great being of planetary size. If He opens His eyes to look at Shazo, or enters the World of the Living of Earth, He will naturally be looking at Shazo at eye level.

However, in the Dark Dimension, the difference between Dormammu and Shazo is that between a planet and humanity, a difference of 23 orders of magnitude, meaning they are not even in the same category.

Yes, the Kamehameha can destroy planets, but that's only because the planet is inanimate and offers no natural resistance.

OK.

Dormammu could easily expel the damage by simply twisting his body slightly; the mass loss would be less than one trillionth—a drop in the ocean.

Yes, losing tens of thousands of Mount Tai is nothing compared to the loss of a single hair.

Shazo was actually at a loss when faced with Dormammu's shameless behavior.

In fact, this is how much Dormammu values Shazo; he sees him as a true rival and is willing to use any means necessary to achieve victory.

The behavior of giving up after being repeatedly attacked by Doctor Strange a million times, as before, is essentially like seeing a tiny Bug that you can't kill no matter what you do, and finally giving up in anger.

Essentially, they were annoyed by the "trouble" and lost their patience, so they didn't even want the precious Earth anymore.

Anyway, we won't lose the Earth. We can just come back and take it back in a few hundred years.

Shazo stood on a main street in Hong Kong and let out a long sigh, "You forced me to do this."

As Shazo in the Marvel World, he also has a powerful attack whose strength is completely uncertain.

That was a move that Shazo from the Pirate World unintentionally used, allowing him to communicate with the Phoenix.

Shazo didn't actually want to use this move because there's also Phoenix in the Marvel World.

Although this Phoenix has not yet descended upon the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it has certainly descended upon the neighboring X-Men Universe.

If the Phoenix reacts, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.

However, Dormammu's scoundrelship was so outrageous that Shazo felt a disturbing threat from him.

He made a decisive decision and created an extremely powerful Shadow Clone.

Shazo chose Shadow Clone instead of the more powerful Wood Clone because Shadow Clone could contain half of his power, not just Chakra.

Although Shadow Clone are fragile—the environment of the Dark Dimension could cause them to collapse within seconds—only Shadow Clone can withstand the power required for that punch.

Therefore, the moment the Shadow Clone entered the Dark Dimension, it launched an attack at the cost of burning itself.

[Nanto - Phoenix Wing Heaven Thrust]

At the tip of Shazo's fist, immeasurable energy coalesced into Phoenix, resembling Phoenix chicken with multicolored feathers.

Her head has "De", her wings have "Yi", her back has "Li", her chest has "Benevolence", her belly has "Faith", and her colorful phoenix tail is beautiful.

The Phoenix's radiance was so dazzling that it defied description. Even in the Dark Dimension, it illuminated a world, far surpassing the power of Shazo's Solar Flare.

But even more astonishing changes were yet to come.

The Phoenix's eyes lit up, as if they had been dotted with the most powerful light, shining brightly in an instant.

The wisdom and curiosity in the Phoenix's eyes were so pure and intense that they left an indelible impression on the soon-to-be-disbanded Shadow Clone.

Phoenix turned its head, and the look in its eyes was so intense that even Shazo, who was recovering his memories, heard it say, "Good lad, I've finally found you."

Yes, that was a woman's voice, so elegant and noble, unapproachable.

The other clones saw even more.

After the true Phoenix disintegrated and descended, its five-colored radiance naturally merged into a silver purifying flame, which gently ignited a single hair on Dormammu's enormous, planet-like body.

If a 100-meter-tall tree can be considered a hair on a planet.

However, Dormammu's reaction was unusually intense.

First, He habitually lay flat, causing Him to overlook the Phoenix's arrival and attack, so much so that He didn't even realize His body was set on fire.

Perhaps Dormammu cannot be blamed for this.

Previously, when Shazo's clones launched an attack, at the very least they could create a rift valley hundreds of kilometers long; if they were more violent, they could evaporate the area of a country.

The most powerful and terrifying attack, such as the [Kamehameha], directly ripped apart a continental plate.

This was only because Dormammu managed to rotate his body in time, causing the attack to only scratch the surface instead of striking his core.

Compared to the aforementioned horrific attacks, igniting an area spanning over a hundred meters is hardly even a minor inconvenience.

In addition, Dormammu's body was too large, which caused his perception speed to be a bit slow.

The moment the silver flame ignited, a signal of fear was generated, but it wasn't until five minutes later that Dormammu sensed it and took it seriously.

Within five minutes, the silver flames had spread to a circular area with a diameter of 2,000 meters, and the Phoenix that had been ignited had long since vanished.

Dormammu therefore spent an extra two minutes confirming the nature of the silver flames.

As Dormammu watched the flames purify themselves into pure energy, especially as they grew stronger in the face of corruption, his enormous eyes widened even further, but his pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.

He was utterly terrified and let out a cry of alarm, which sounded like a scream.

"The Power of the Phoenix!"

"Purify! The! Flames!"

The unbelievable shock caused Dormammu's exclamation to become a series of deliberate, staccato words, and his originally grand and powerful voice turned into a shrill one.

The fear in his voice was so intense it was almost overflowing.

The next second, under the watchful eyes of countless Shazo clones, Dormammu tore himself apart without hesitation.

Centered on the silver purifying fire, a body with a diameter of 3,000 kilometers and a thickness of over 200 kilometers was torn apart and discarded by Him.

Once he confirmed that the remaining part of his body was untouched by the Purifying Flame, Dormammu let out a scream. His enormous, planet-like body dissolved into black mist and fled into the depths of the infinite Dark Dimension.

The dark fog then receded like a tide.

Dormammu escaped!

Like a hero cutting off his own arm, he made a resolute and unwavering decision and fled without hesitation!

The essence of fire and the Phoenix Force —are they truly terrifying?

Shazo was completely baffled. "Sigh, this, I, I have absolutely no idea."

But, well, they actually did escape.

Dormammu left behind a rich spoils, not only his body, which was comparable to a small continent, but also a vast Dark Dimension, as expansive as the Solar System, which the demon god severed as part of his act of sacrificing his arm to avoid the purifying flames of the Phoenix.

Now, all these West City have fallen into Shazo's hands and become his private property.

Dormammu's discarded body burned for a full four hours. After the purifying fire completely incinerated it, the corrupting power mixed in with the darkness was completely eliminated, restoring it to the purest darkness.

On this celestial body that has reformed into a sphere with a diameter of 320 kilometers, there is no trace of fear or filth, only extreme tranquility, which involuntarily evokes thoughts of death.

No, it is a long sleep, Eternity sleep.

In other words, this fragmented Dark Dimension and tiny celestial body became the perfect Pure Land Prototype.

However, although Shazo in the Marvel World possesses the power of Death God, he doesn't want to die; he hasn't lived enough yet.

Moreover, death in this world is governed by a master, not only by Death, one of the Five Great Beings who created the world, but also by the Death Goddess in Asgard.

If Shazo becomes the Grim Death God, he's just asking for trouble.

He'd better be cautious until he could ascertain Asgard's stance.

Because Odin, the King of Asgard, is dying, the gods of his lineage become increasingly terrifying in battle as they age and approach death.

Why can't we wait until Odin dies before creating the Pure Land?

Besides, now that it's his private territory, the Shazo Legion's super base, with its unparalleled prestige, isn't that appealing?

When Shazo returned to Hong Kong in high spirits, he was greeted by Ancient One, who asked with a smile, "Mr. Shazo, are you satisfied with my explanation?"

"Can I now go and follow the Eternity?"

Shazo clicked his tongue. "Don't you think there's something wrong with you peeking into the future like this?"

The Ancient One smiled and shook her head, saying, "At least for now, it seems there's no problem."

"Perhaps Strange will pay the price for this, but that's his fate, and it's not something I can change."

Shazo was speechless and obediently took out the waste produced by the purifying fire.

The fact that they survived the burning of the purifying fire proves that these are souls, and powerful intelligent beings in life.

These powerful remnants of souls were the fuel the Ancient One desired for her second disintegration.

With the help of these refined soul powers, her soul took flight once more, venturing into an unknown, Eternity Kingdom.

Shazo murmured, "No wonder the Ancient One wanted to escape; it was actually—dimensional ascension."
