Surpassing Ancient One in Three Days, Stunning Black Widow

When Ancient One praised him like that, Lin Du merely smiled faintly. His calm composure left a deep impression.

"Lin Du had mastered the essence of magic that even I found difficult to reach in just a few days."

"His potential is simply unfathomable, beyond everyone's imagination."

At those words, disbelief flickered in Natasha's eyes.

As one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top agents, she knew Ancient One's strength very well. Anyone who could receive such high praise was no ordinary person.

But could someone like Lin Du really defeat Kaecilius, that terrifying figure hailed as the next Dormammu?

Wasn't that idea a little too fantastical?

She studied Lin Du closely, trying to catch some trace of hidden power on his youthful face.

Lin Du, meanwhile, looked entirely open and let her examine him without the slightest attempt to avoid her gaze.

"Dormammu is about to invade Earth. We need to prepare for battle as soon as possible."

Lin Du's sudden words were simple and direct, yet they struck Natasha and every mage present like a heavy hammer.

"Lin Du, what do you mean by that? How could Dormammu possibly descend here?"

Mordo was the first to step forward, looking at Lin Du skeptically.

The name Dormammu was like a nightmare lingering in the dead of night, enough to send chills down anyone's spine.

As the ruler of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu's power was nearly unmatched, so overwhelming that it inspired despair.

His endless ambition and greedy desires drove him to constantly seek opportunities to conquer other worlds.

And Blue Star, so full of life and overflowing with magic, had naturally been in his sights for a long time.

Lin Du's eyes gleamed as he looked directly at Mordo.

"Dormammu's schemes run far deeper than you imagine."

"His power is also expanding without cease."

"We cannot sit around waiting for disaster to arrive. We must prepare in advance."

Ancient One nodded lightly. She knew Lin Du was telling the truth.

As the Sorcerer Supreme, it was her duty to monitor every movement in the Dark Dimension.

Dormammu's threat had long set off red alerts on her internal radar.

But Lin Du had only recently begun studying magic. How had he seen through all this?

Noticing Ancient One's confusion, Lin Du smiled slightly and began to explain in a soft voice...

As he spoke, Lin Du's gaze slowly swept across everyone's faces.

Yet several of them seemed frozen in place, caught in the shock woven by Lin Du's words.

Just from that friendly spar with Ancient One, he had followed the clues and directly uncovered Dormammu's whereabouts?

It sounded even more absurd than a fantasy novel!

But then again, they all knew perfectly well that Lin Du was no ordinary person. His talent and insight had never been something ordinary people could compare with.

Since the words had come from him, there had to be something behind them that they had yet to understand.

As one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top agents, Black Widow was like a precise radar, instantly locking onto the key information in Lin Du's words.

Her brows knitted slightly as her mind rapidly calculated the consequences this intelligence could unleash.

Dormammu's invasion would be nothing less than a world-ending catastrophe for the entire Earth.

"Lin Du, can you explain in detail how you discovered all this?"

Ancient One's low, grave voice broke the brief silence.

Lin Du nodded solemnly, then slowly began his account.

He explained how, during his clash of mind and power with Ancient One, he had caught a faint, subtle tremor from the Dark Dimension, and how he had used those traces to gradually deduce Dormammu's hidden scheme.

His explanation was logical and well organized, allowing everyone present to understand exactly what had happened.

After hearing Lin Du out, Ancient One's expression stiffened in a rare display of emotion. Her brows drew tightly together, revealing deep concern.

She stared intently at Lin Du.

Then, speaking slowly with every word carrying immense weight, she said, "Lin Du, the information you've brought is extremely important to us."

"Do you have any specific countermeasures? The situation is urgent. We must act immediately and stop Dormammu's invasion."

Black Widow nodded silently at the side, expressing her support for Ancient One's decision with a resolute look.

Feeling everyone's expectant gazes, Lin Du did not hesitate in the slightest and decisively dropped a bombshell.

"I'm afraid Kaecilius has already successfully summoned Dormammu to our planet."

The words were like a massive stone thrown into a still lake. The hall fell into dead silence, and everyone's breathing seemed to stop in that instant.

Mordo's face turned pale as paper, while Ancient One's brows twisted into an impossible knot.

Lin Du's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in everyone's hearts and stirring up towering waves.

Who could have imagined that Kaecilius would bring a terrifying demon like Dormammu to the pure land of Blue Star?

"Th-That's impossible!" Mordo's voice trembled unmistakably.

Clearly, the reality was too shocking for him to process.

In contrast, Ancient One appeared steadier. She drew a deep breath and tried to calm the surging turmoil in her heart.

Natasha's expression froze instantly, and a heavy atmosphere settled around her.

Without wasting a moment, she quickly took out her communicator and contacted Nick Fury. "Director Fury, we've run into serious trouble."

"Dormammu is coming for us."

After delivering the shocking news to Fury, Black Widow turned her curious gaze toward Lin Du.

At that moment, her interest in Lin Du had reached an unprecedented height.

With only three days of magical training, Lin Du had been able to foresee Dormammu's imminent arrival. What secrets and abilities lay behind that?

Her heart was filled with doubt and astonishment.

Just then, genuine admiration flashed through Black Widow's eyes.

She could sense that Lin Du's words were true, not an exaggeration.

In that world where magic surged, Lin Du had already climbed to an unprecedented new height.

With Lin Du joining them, their chances against Dormammu had suddenly increased by several degrees.

Meanwhile, deep underground in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s command center, the lights blazed like daytime. The dense clatter of keyboards rang out without pause, tense and urgent.

Director Nick Fury stood before an enormous holographic display, his brow furrowed as he muttered, "Dormammu..."
