Dormammu

"You..."

Zhang Yang had just been about to ask how this Wonder Woman had entered his Mirror Dimension when he noticed mist gradually welling up in her wide eyes.

He was completely baffled.

While he stood there with a blank look on his face, Wonder Woman suddenly rushed forward and wrapped him in a hug.

The immense force made even Zhang Yang, whose body was far stronger than an ordinary person's, feel pain. His reinforced bones let out a series of cracking sounds.

"It's going to break... it's going to break!!!"

Zhang Yang spoke with difficulty. Magic power was already surging through his body. If Wonder Woman did not let go, then for the sake of his life, he was prepared to strike.

Fortunately, Wonder Woman loosened her iron grip and looked at him through tears.

"You..."

Zhang Yang moved his body, which had nearly been squeezed in half. Just as he was about to ask what this crazy woman was trying to do, a resentful voice rose up, so mournful it gave him goosebumps.

"After all these years... where did you run off to?"

Diana looked at the figure before her as it gradually overlapped with the figure in her memories. Even as a warrior goddess, she could not suppress the ache of longing in her heart. Tears fell from her large eyes. "Do you know how many years I waited for you on Paradise Island?"

"I..."

Zhang Yang looked at Wonder Woman, who resembled a wronged wife, with a head full of question marks.

Did they know each other?

When Wonder Woman had made her debut, he had not even been born yet.

Even after transmigrating into this world, he had only been here for a little over three years. How could he not remember ever provoking the Justice League's resident beauty?

And what was with that resentful tone and that expression like a bullied young wife?

Who am I?

Where am I?

What the hell am I doing?

???

In an instant, a flood of questions filled Zhang Yang's mind, nearly causing his brain to crash.

After tapping his head and rebooting his thoughts, Zhang Yang sorted through the clues Diana had revealed.

In the end, he placed his suspicions on the Dimension Heart within his body.

"Do we... know each other?"

To verify his guess, Zhang Yang cautiously asked, "When did we meet?"

"You've forgotten?"

At those words, Diana's wronged-wife expression vanished, replaced by a deathly stillness that made people tremble.

"Men... hehehe... men!!!"

Diana's expression grew increasingly strange, and the aura around her shifted into killing intent.

Zhang Yang shrank his neck and looked at Wonder Woman in confusion.

That could not be right...

He had only asked one question...

This Wonder Woman...

She was not really about to chop him up, was she?

She drew her sword!

She walked over!

She...

Zhang Yang watched as the longsword pierced through the protective spell he had set up and stopped at the tip of his nose. Cold sweat slowly trickled down his cheeks.

"You deserve to die!!!"

Diana tore off her crown in one motion. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her sword trembled slightly. It was clear that she was extremely emotional right now.

She was genuinely extremely emotional.

Zhang Yang did not dare move at all. He merely circulated the magic power in his body, ready to counterattack at any moment.

As for why he had not fought back yet... there was something he still had not figured out.

"Crack..."

As the two remained locked in a standoff, another sound rang out.

They both turned their heads at the same time. The enormous doors moved.

The door was pushed open by a crack, and even more massive dark magic power rushed out from within, filling the entire Mirror Dimension.

When the doors were fully opened, an enormous figure stepped out from inside.

He was the master of the Dark Space, the dimensional demon god—Dormammu!

"Hm?"

Dormammu looked toward Zhang Yang and let out a puzzled sound. His expression shifted repeatedly before finally settling.

It was an expression that said, "So that's how it is."

"I've seen you before!"

Dormammu lowered his head, his tone filled with an emotion that was difficult to discern. "A very, very long time ago."

"We just met."

Zhang Yang shook his head, somewhat unable to understand what Dormammu meant. "Are you senile? It was only a little over a month ago!"

"I know."

Dormammu stretched out his hand. A flame condensed from dark energy slowly descended before Zhang Yang. "But before that, we met."

???

Zhang Yang felt even more confused.

Wonder Woman was one thing. Based on his guess, he had probably undergone time travel at some point in the future, which was why Wonder Woman knew him.

But Dormammu... good lord, they were enemies!

You were being so friendly—how was he supposed to bring himself to attack?

And as a dimensional demon god, why were you looking at him as though he were an old friend?

Were they really that close?

???

Zhang Yang felt that whenever question marks appeared over his head, the problem was not him, but this world.

"Take it."

Dormammu's voice rang out. "This is something you left with me."

"My mission... is finally complete!"

Dormammu slowly retreated into the doors. Just as he was about to close them, a Portal suddenly opened.

"My master!"

Kaecilius dragged his body through the Portal and looked at Dormammu with fanaticism on his face. "Y-you have finally descended!"

"From this day forward, the entire world will tremble!"

"Your will shall be the will of the entire world!"

"Your glory shall be the glory of the entire world!"

"You..."

Before Kaecilius could finish, a surge of dark power suddenly descended and directly shattered his physical body.

Before his soul could even react, Dormammu took it away.

"He was too noisy."

After dealing with Kaecilius, Dormammu even explained himself to Zhang Yang, as though afraid Zhang Yang might misunderstand something.

This left Zhang Yang... he had originally wanted to lose his temper. Not only had Dormammu ambushed him and stolen his kill, he had even cut off the channel Zhang Yang used to fleece him!

Such dishonorable tactics, damn it!

Though that was what he thought, Zhang Yang did not make any move.

He was confident he could defeat Dormammu, but truly keeping him here... it was not boasting to say that even the five cosmic entities could not defeat Dormammu in the Dark Space.

Neither could he, unless he entered the Dark Space and took control of or destroyed the entire space. Only then would it be possible to completely kill Dormammu.

The main reason Zhang Yang abandoned the thought of killing Dormammu was Dormammu's attitude... he had neither come looking for trouble nor shown any intent to attack... striking first would be somewhat dishonorable.

Looking at the flame Dormammu had sent over, Zhang Yang cautiously scanned it with his mind. The result made his eyes widen as he stared at Dormammu in shock.

"Accept it!"

Dormammu's figure gradually faded away, and the doors slowly closed. "That... was yours to begin with."
