A fierce glint flashed in Doctor Strange's eyes as he looked at Thanos, who was right in front of him.

Then, he continuously opened the Darkhold and the Book of Vishanti in his hands, and mysterious Runes appeared behind him.

Immediately afterwards, phantoms of various monsters appeared on his body.

Scorpion Serpent, Tentacle Monster, Hellhound, Demon Dragon, Ghost Bat, Cloak Bug, Dragon Hawk.

There were so many phantoms that many were not even clearly visible.

After these phantoms appeared, they immediately began roaring at Thanos and then charged out.

Thanos dispatched all these illusions with a single strike, but this also slowed down his speed.

Doctor Strange continued casting spells, and just as the phantoms were about to die, he waved his hand.

The Book of Vishanti in his left hand flew towards Thanos, transforming into a golden shield.

Thanos once again cleaved the shield and the Book of Vishanti in two with a single strike.

But at that moment, Doctor Strange finished casting his spell and revealed a mad smile.

"Thanos, you lost! Hahaha..."

The smile that followed began to distort, as if it came from Hell.

An immense amount of Dark Energy surged from his body, engulfing him.

Then this Dark Energy transformed into an enormous face.

It was a very blurry and illusory face, but the dense and pure Dark Energy it possessed was something Doctor Strange could never have.

Upon seeing this, Thanos immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Chthon!"

He immediately understood.

Doctor Strange had long been prepared to sacrifice himself, even willing to become the Dark Lord, Chthon, in order to deal with himself.

The Void is boundless; without a coordinate system, even these demons cannot project their power.

Just like how the Ancient One was corrupted by Dormammu.

However, after sensing for a while, he felt that Chthon's energy was far inferior to that of Dormammu back then, and should not have reached the level of the Multiverse.

After all, Dormammu's eyes were already the size of a Star System.

This also shows that Chthon is not yet able to corrupt the soul.

But he was puzzled. What grudge did Doctor Strange hold against him that he would sacrifice himself to deal with him?

"Ancient One, you should go back first. This battle is beyond your capabilities."

Ancient One nodded and immediately began drawing circles in front of him.

Hela and Laufey also flew over, ready to go back together.

But after drawing circles for a while, the Ancient One was sweating profusely, but the Portal still wouldn't open.

"Sir, I can't open it."

Upon hearing Thanos immediately looked at the enormous face in mid-air.

Could this space have been sealed off by the other side?

It seems the other party has no intention of letting anyone off the hook.

At that moment, Chthon opened his bright red eyes and looked at the world.

"I'm back! Click click click..."

After a strange laugh, a massive amount of Dark Energy was spewed towards Thanos.

Because in his mind, Thanos was the most powerful person, and naturally became his primary target.

Thanos immediately turned around, threw the Tyrant's Blade, and then his entire body radiated Deep Purple, World-Destroying Power as he used his physical body to resist the opponent's attack.

The Tyrant's Blade spun around and flew into the giant face, shattering Doctor Strange in mid-air before returning.

Since the other party cannot yet corrupt the soul, all that is needed is to shatter Doctor Strange's body.

Without the coordinates, the other side can no longer deploy forces.

After Thanos retrieved the Tyrant's Blade, he immediately spun it in his hand to block the attack.

As Doctor Strange, who had been torn apart, reformed, he turned his gaze to the Darkhold above his head.

The Darkhold was constantly emitting Dark Energy, coalescing into the large face of Chthon, while also providing energy to Doctor Strange.

It seems that the existence of the Darkhold is what allowed Doctor Strange to be almost immortal.

So he immediately swung the Tyrant's Blade and flew towards the Darkhold.

Upon seeing this, Chthon immediately conjured a large hand and placed it in front of the Darkhold.

The Tyrant's Blade struck the giant hand of darkness, and immediately failed to penetrate.

However, this also convinced Thanos that the Darkhold was the medium through which Chthon's power was projected.

Chthon is not yet Dimension Demons; he has not yet reached the level of power and methods at the Multiversal Level.

If the other party wants to project their power, in addition to coordinates, they also need a medium.

Using Doctor Strange's body as a coordinate and the Darkhold as a medium to project power, he accomplished something that could only be done at the Multiversal Level.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Ancient One, Laufey, Hela, launch an attack together!"

Since they can't leave, let's at least do something to help them.

Upon hearing this, Ancient One, Laufey, and Hela immediately nodded.

Ancient One's hands flashed with golden light, and then a series of sword fans flew out.

Laufey gripped the Casket of Ancient Winters and unleashed a surge of blue, frigid energy.

Hela swung her hands incessantly, shooting out black short swords.

The big-faced man, enraged by the attack, turned to look at the three of them.

Then he spewed the Dark Energy from his mouth towards them.

Seeing an opportunity, Thanos immediately rushed towards Doctor Strange.

At the same time, the World-Destroying Power began to surge throughout his body, the Ruler's skills were activated, and the Power Stone shimmered with purple light.

Having activated his strongest form, he instantly flew in front of Doctor Strange and then, from above, severed the Darkhold, also cutting Doctor Strange in two once more.

The shattered Darkhold did not reform; instead, it fragmented, and its pages began to burn, emitting even more Dark Energy.

Doctor Strange's body immediately reformed.

"You can't kill me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Thanos impatiently continued to swing his sword.

In an instant, the resurrected Doctor Strange was once again chopped into pieces.

At the same time, the World-Destroying Power surged in his hand, then annihilated the fragments of the opponent into an Atom state.

Damn it!

With a roar, the Darkhold burned to ashes, and the large face began to shrink, transforming into a white-haired man.

The other person was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a red bodysuit, with yellow light flashing in their eyes and dark flames emanating from their hands.

He is Chthon, one of the four ancient demon gods.

Thanos, who was initially hesitant about whether to spend 50,000 Points to Thanos the Ten Million Stars' Power, suddenly smiled coldly upon sensing the opponent's strength.

I guess I destroyed Doctor Strange's body too quickly, so the amount of his power projected was too small, and his strength was actually lower than mine.

But in the next instant, Chthon was enveloped in a radiant light.

This is another power of Chthon, the Chaos Power.

I will tear you to pieces!

PS: Marvel officially nerfed him; Chthon is no longer the source of dark power and Chaos Power, but only the source of Dark Magic.
