Dormammu's boastful words made Hayato laugh. "Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've heard in centuries. As a reward, how about eternal life?"
"Sure." Hayato smiled. "If you can do it, give it a try."
Without another word—
Flames transformed into a gigantic hand that reached for Hayato.
Hayato's eyes instantly turned utterly black.
A mass of dark energy condensed in his hand, transforming into a black sword of light dozens of kilometers long.
Sshk!
The palm, along with Dormammu's body, was cleaved apart by the sword... Well, Dormammu's true body in the Dark Dimension spanned tens of thousands of kilometers. That slash was roughly equivalent to stirring a water vat with a toothpick.
Dormammu felt as though he had been bitten by a mosquito.
It did not hurt.
But it was infuriating.
Countless massive palms formed throughout space, an awe-inspiring sight.
"Looks like peaceful communication won't work."
Ancient One drew a shield spell and thrust out her palm.
One became two, two became four, four became sixteen... In the blink of an eye, countless shields multiplied into existence, blocking the fists.
Bang...
Countless collisions erupted in an instant, each one like an enormous Fireworks display.
Neither side could do anything to the other.
A humanoid creature wreathed in flames flew out from Dormammu's energy body.
This was Dormammu's humanoid form, and he looked somewhat like Ghost Rider.
"You are both strong. You are worthy of my respect, worthy of becoming overlords of your own domains in the universe. I do not understand why you would fight for ignorant, weak humans.
"Ancient One, in other dimensions, there is indeed nothing I can do to you..."
"Wait, haven't you been beaten so badly by Master Ancient One every single time that you had to crawl around looking for your teeth?" Hayato said
