The Dark Dimension

In space.

Thanos was spinning the Tyrant's Blade to block the Ancient One's attack when he suddenly looked down at Titan.

He discovered Doctor Strange and the others, as well as the five members of the Guardians of the Galaxy who had been rescued.

But this is not the time to worry about these things.

He sensed a crisis was approaching.

This crisis comes from the Ancient One right in front of us.

The opponent's dark power is becoming increasingly vast and refined, even surpassing the level of Skyfather-level.

This is no longer due to the opponent's own strength.

A moment later, the Ancient One suddenly turned ferocious, stopped her spell, and the Runes on her forehead broke through the limitations and instantly covered her entire body.

Immediately afterwards, the Dark Energy throughout his body expanded even further, seemingly beginning to affect the surrounding space.

Thanos saw a pair of purple eyes slowly emerge in the void.

Those eyes were so evil, so eerie, that they inspired fear and madness in anyone who looked into them.

With the appearance of these eyes, the Dark Dimension began to converge upon this universe.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of extremely pure Dark Energy began to erupt from the Dark Dimension, instantly enveloping this Star System.

Its speed even exceeds the speed of light.

It's important to know that the Star System containing Titan is approximately 12 billion kilometers in diameter. Even light would take about eleven hours to travel from one end of the Star System to the other.

However, this power from the Dark Dimension enveloped the entire Star System in an instant.

Enveloped in Dark Energy, Thanos felt a desire for destruction and slaughter arise within him.

This is bad; it's a sign that the soul is being corrupted by darkness.

The next second, Thanos clenched his left hand.

Soon, the Infinity Gauntlet began to glow orange, and the power of the Soul Stone activated, forcefully suppressing the corrupting influence of dark forces on the soul.

Damn it, Dormammu appeared.

The Ancient One must have lost her mind, absorbing so much energy from the Dark Dimension.

At this moment, Thanos could sense that all the creatures within this Fixed Star began to have their eyes turn black instantly, losing all the whites of their eyes, and then strange symbols appeared on their foreheads.

Then it began to attack everything around it that was still moving, like a madman.

The souls of Ordinary Person cannot withstand the corrosive power of darkness for even a second, and instantly become Dormammu's puppets.

For a time, killing and death became the main themes here.

On Titan, Doctor Strange had already sent everyone into the Portal, and then, just as the forces of the Dark Dimension were about to Portal, he quickly closed the Portal.

This guy's quick. Looks like he already knows about Dormammu's arrival, but it seems it will be prevented.

Otherwise, how could Doctor Strange not know the danger Dormammu poses to the universe?

Once it arrives, the entire universe will likely be pulled into Dark Dimension.

The other party's decisiveness must mean they saw what was going on and knew it would be stopped, which is why they were so at ease.

No, Dormammu and the Dark Dimension are beyond this universe, how could the Time Stone have foreseen them?

Unless those unknown entities intervene.

Thinking of this, Thanos's eyes lit up, and then he looked up at the Ancient One in front of him.

Now that he knew about those who were paying attention to what was happening here, he felt more confident.

After all, chess players also need a chessboard, right?

If someone tries to smash the chessboard, will the players just ignore it?

At this point, Dormammu had used the Ancient One as a coordinate, projecting the power of the Dark Dimension onto it, and the Dark Dimension was also converging towards this universe.

After thinking for a moment, he clenched his left hand, and the power of the Soul Stone was used again, but this time on the Ancient One.

"The Dark Dimension is approaching. If it cannot be stopped in time, the entire universe may be swallowed up, including Blue Star. Is this the result you wanted?"

Since they know that those beings are watching this place, they certainly won't let the Ancient One be completely corrupted by dark forces, otherwise there would be no way to break this situation.

As expected, with the effect of the Soul Stone, the Ancient One's soul, which had been completely corrupted by darkness, was miraculously purified to some extent.

Soon, the darkness in her eyes receded, revealing a clear gaze.

The next second, she noticed the dark power around her and the approaching Dark Dimension, and her expression immediately changed.

As the guardian of Kamar-Taj, she was well aware of Dormammu's power and the consequences of the Dark Dimension's approach.

So she immediately said to Thanos, "Kill me! Only by killing me will Dormammu lose his coordinates and be unable to approach this place!"

Thanos shook his head and said, "Dormammu has already locked onto your soul. Even if you kill him, it won't make a difference."

Although Dormammu has not yet descended, his eyes have already locked onto this universe through the Ancient One's soul.

While the Soul Stone can alter a soul, it cannot destroy it.

That's a power that only exists at the Multiversal Level.

Since the soul cannot be destroyed, killing the Ancient One would be useless.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient One immediately understood Thanos's meaning and anxiously asked, "What should we do?"

Thanos suddenly smiled slightly, then raised his left hand and said calmly, "I have the Soul Stone. Although I cannot destroy a soul, I can change it. As long as you cooperate with me to purify the dark power in your soul, you can break Dormammu's lock."

He can change the soul, but how he changes it is not up to him to decide.

Those Chess Players will probably be missing a piece.

Seeing this, Ancient One nodded without hesitation and said, "Then let's begin!"

For her, the safety of the entire universe was clearly more important than her own life.

As for whether the other party might do something to her soul, she couldn't care less anymore.

Seeing the Ancient One's decisiveness, Thanos nodded and immediately activated the Power Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet.

A purple light began to flicker.

In addition to increasing the user's strength and energy, the Power Stone can also charge other Infinity Stones.

Immediately afterwards, the orange Soul Stone within the Infinity Gauntlet began to shine brightly.

In the next instant, a mysterious and profound power began to wash over the Ancient One's soul, causing the strange Runes on her body to stop expanding.

At first, the Ancient One instinctively resisted this power.

She sensed that some of her memories were changing, and that some of her beliefs and ideas were gradually becoming distorted.

However, when she thought of all life in the universe, she chose to give up resisting and even actively accept this change.

With the Ancient One's acceptance, the strange Runes on her body began to fade away, and her corrupted soul was purified.

This scene immediately enraged Dormammu, who had been projected onto the scene.

"You dare!"

A roar was so powerful that it caused the entire Star System to tremble.

However, Dormammu could only roar; he showed no intention of actually attacking.

Although He could escape the Dark Dimension and directly descend into this universe to Thanos.

However, the Marvel Universe is a very dangerous world.

If he dares to leave the Dark Dimension, some beings will probably teach him to be a demon god in the next second.

After all, over the years, he has devoured many Reality Universe and is coveted by many beings.

Dimension Demons are naturally extremely powerful within their own dimensions, even capable of contending with Multiversal Level beings.

Moreover, as long as the dimension remains, it is immortal.

However, once they leave their own dimension and lose their power boost, those Multiversal Level can completely overwhelm them, or even kill them outright.

Thanos already knew this from the Collector.

This old guy has lived for three billion years. Although he's not very strong, he knows a lot of secrets.

Therefore, he didn't care about Dormammu's words and instead accelerated the purification of the dark power in the Ancient One's soul.
