How Could a Few Months of Magic Defeat Dormammu? Was Lin Du Even Human?

"Lin Du, what is it that you truly desire?" Dormammu asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Lin Du did not answer Dormammu's question. Instead, he silently began to act, slowly drawing energy from Dormammu's body.

His goal was to absorb all of Dormammu's energy completely and become the new supreme ruler of the Dark Dimension.

As the energy was devoured bit by bit, Dormammu's figure gradually blurred.

His voice became as faint as a dying thread, nearly vanishing into the void.

Before this unprecedentedly powerful force, all of Dormammu's resistance and struggle seemed insignificant, pale, and powerless.

The Dark Dimension began to tremble violently, as though it sensed the imminent cataclysm. Fear spread through every inch of space.

Starlight flickered within the pitch-black dimension like countless gazes, silently witnessing this ultimate clash across the stars.

Lin Du slowly closed his eyes, wholly immersing himself in the fusion of this energy.

He could clearly feel his strength growing at an astonishing rate.

Every cell in his body rejoiced, celebrating the immense power about to come.

When Lin Du opened his eyes again, he merely waved a hand, and a vast force intertwined with light and darkness erupted with a thunderous blast.

In an instant, it devoured everything around it.

Dormammu's figure no longer existed. His dark energy had been completely absorbed by Lin Du, becoming part of Lin Du's power.

Under the impact of this surging force, the Dark Dimension began to fall apart, cracks spreading everywhere.

At last, it completely collapsed amid a deafening boom, ushering in a brand-new era.

Lin Du floated in the void, as though he himself were part of the vast universe, with no boundary between them.

Beneath that pitch-black, twisted, bottomless spatial rift,

Wong and Mordo stood shoulder to shoulder, their eyes shining with shock and disbelief.

Around them were fragments of time and space torn apart by Dormammu's terrifying power.

They resembled the strangest stars in the night sky, emitting ominous glimmers that sent chills down one's spine.

The two had originally charged at Kaecilius prepared to die,

with only one purpose: to protect the peace of the Hong Kong Sanctum and buy Lin Du that fleeting, precious opportunity.

They had waited for the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, to arrive,

hoping to seal or drive away this overlord from the Dark Dimension—Dormammu.

But events had strayed far beyond the course they had imagined.

Lin Du, the young man who was usually gentle and refined yet hid unfathomable depths, now erupted with earth-shattering power.

His movements were swift as lightning, every strike hitting Dormammu's body of pure darkness with perfect accuracy.

Amid rolling thunderous explosions, even space trembled. Every clash shook the entire dimension of existence.

It was as if even the foundations of the universe trembled beneath the collision of these forces.

"What... what kind of power is this?"

Wong muttered softly. For the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on his usually steadfast face.

Mordo kept his lips tightly pressed together, his eyes filled with both shock and confusion.

How many unknown secrets was Lin Du still hiding to unleash such awe-inspiring power at a moment this desperate? Mordo could scarcely imagine it.

As the two were lost in thought, Lin Du darted through the void, leaving behind streaks of afterimages. His movements were so fast they dazzled the eye.

As Lin Du swung both arms, Dormammu's raging roars gradually weakened, until only unwilling murmurs remained.

Its figure began to grow hazy, as though an invisible force were slowly pulling it out of this world.

"Is it over?" Wong asked softly, his tone carrying both the relief of release and a faint, barely perceptible loneliness.

After all, they had been prepared to give everything they had, yet victory had arrived so suddenly that they could not adapt at once.

Mordo stared blankly at Dormammu as it gradually faded from midair, unable to regain his senses for a long while.

Lin Du had defeated that incomparably arrogant being through his strength alone.

This surpassed every boundary of their understanding. Even as disciples of the Sorcerer Supreme, they had never witnessed such overwhelming power.

Wong took a deep breath, his gaze returning to Lin Du.

Lin Du's strength had already exceeded everyone's imagination, reaching an unprecedented height.

Kaecilius and Dormammu's followers had been poised to launch a fierce assault against Wong and Mordo.

Yet when they suddenly saw Lin Du reduce Dormammu to ashes in the blink of an eye, they were struck dumb with terror, their hearts and courage shattered.

Now that even a being like Dormammu had fallen to Lin Du, who in this world could possibly stand as his opponent?

Who exactly was Lin Du?

Questions surged through everyone's chests like raging tides, yet Lin Du seemed as though he stood alone in an empty world.

He was utterly unaware of the shock and suspicion outside, as if none of it had anything to do with him.

Elsewhere, Kaecilius and the followers had once naively believed that Dormammu's protection

would let them run rampant across this land without restraint or fear.

Now, their faces were as pale as paper, and the fear in their hearts was like an undercurrent in the night.

It mercilessly eroded what little courage and faith they had left.

Kaecilius's voice trembled as he struggled to find even the slightest hope of survival amid despair.

"Lin Du, you... what have you done? Do you know what monstrous consequences your actions will bring?"

A faint smile curled at Lin Du's lips, filled with unshakable confidence and calm.

"Monstrous consequences? I have never feared hardship, much less monstrous consequences."

"On the contrary, I crave challenges. I want to grow stronger through them, beyond all imagination."

His words boomed through the air like thunder, striking heavily at the depths of everyone's soul.

Kaecilius and his followers completely lost the will to resist.

They knew that the one standing before them was an unquestionable powerhouse, a giant they had no power to contend with.

Lin Du slowly walked closer step by step. Every step seemed to land upon their chests, bringing crushing pressure and endless despair.

With a gentle sweep of his arm, an invisible force instantly bound Kaecilius and his group tightly.

"You must bear the consequences of your actions."

Lin Du's voice was cold and resolute, offering no forgiveness.

Then, he cast them directly into the Dark Dimension he had created, leaving them to reflect and repent in that endless darkness.

After dealing with Kaecilius, Lin Du turned, his gaze falling upon Wong and Mordo.

Their eyes were filled with reverence and gratitude. Had Lin Du not acted, they might already have been at death's door.
