The giant black-flame face stretched across the starfield, its two blood-red demonic eyes firmly covering the entire Crystal Realm.
Dormammu's enraged dimensional will crashed against the walls of the void like a tsunami. The purple-black crystal walls overlapped layer upon layer, sealing everything tight without leaving even a microscopic dimensional gap. Though the backlash from reversing reality moments ago had been fierce, it still could not shake the massive foundation of this ancient overlord.
Having suffered once already, Dormammu instantly sealed off the probabilistic voids of the surrounding dimensions. Relying on the vast mass of the entire Dark Dimension, he forcibly smoothed out the spatial tremors. The berserk tide of dark energy gathered once more and closed in with an overwhelming force even greater than before.
The violent layers of dark energy crushed down, completely scrambling the geometric gravity deep within the void. The fragments of rock that had been floating in place turned to dust, spiraling toward the gravitational black hole formed by the collapse at the center of the giant face.
The dimensional space within Chen Xiao's body gave off a series of high-frequency, muffled rumbles. Under the endless overlapping pressure from outside, the dimensional barrier caved inward like a raw egg being squeezed between two iron palms.
Deep within the Dark Dimension, the giant black-flame face had completely closed in. Towering waves crashed toward the several dozen zhang of space where Chen Xiao stood from every direction.
Dormammu's consciousness rumbled like thunder, filled with a ruthless judgment:
"In my dimension, you won't even leave behind ashes!"
"Oh?"
Chen Xiao slightly bent his knees. Deep within his eyes, platinum white and orange-red suddenly intertwined.
The dark-red crystal hidden deep within the dimensional space trembled faintly once more.
The price of repeatedly altering the laws of reality was astonishing.
