At that, Huo Yuhao smiled, his tone turning lighthearted. "And what about you? You've been forced to become my prisoner, with no way to escape. Is a world you're destined never to obtain really worth it?"
"Silence!!!"
Dormammu's roar unleashed a Dimensional Storm! Huo Yuhao's figure was instantly torn apart by the raging energy, scattering into Stardust!
Then the scene began to shift rapidly.
Furious, Dormammu became a merciless executioner, killing Huo Yuhao countless times in all sorts of brutal ways!
But the Time Loop brought Huo Yuhao back to stand before him again and again, saying, "I'm here to negotiate."
Eventually, Dormammu changed tactics.
He stopped killing Huo Yuhao with a single blow and instead restrained him with Dark Chains. Countless Energy Needles pierced his soul, as Dormammu tried to force the words from his mouth through eternal torment. "Stop the loop! Or I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Yet even a Dimensional Demon God could hardly stop a Magic Master determined to kill himself.
And as long as Huo Yuhao died, the Time Loop would activate, returning everything to the beginning.
After many failed attempts, Dormammu heard Huo Yuhao say "I'm here to negotiate" once more. This time, he didn't immediately kill him. Instead, he let out a furious, frustrated roar:
"You vermin! I'll hack you apart! Slice you open! Chop you to pieces! I could kill you a thousand times, and it still wouldn't be enough!!!"
"Aw, can't take it anymore?" Huo Yuhao asked with a cheeky grin. "By the way, how many times have you killed me? I don't remember anything from each Time Loop, so it doesn't really affect me."
Huo Yuhao's reply left Dormammu silent.
A moment later, he spoke slowly, his voice somewhat dejected. "You can never win this way!"
"I know."
