Challenge Dormammu Alone! Have You Got a Death Wish?

Dormammu.

The ruler of the Dark Dimension.

An ancient energy being that has lived for countless years and even witnessed the birth and death of the Universe.

Over the years, he has been like a greedy Black Hole, ruthlessly devouring one Universe after another, accumulating unimaginable and terrifying power.

Now.

Although what descended into this alternate dimension was merely a Divine Avatar he had condensed using dark energy.

But the overwhelming, suffocating sense of oppression still caused the space to tremble violently.

"Ren, this is bad. I'm going to tear a rift open, don't look back, run!"

Ancient One's expression was more solemn than ever before.

This was the first time she had faced Dormammu's projection directly outside of Earth.

Without the defensive Magic Array of Earth's Three Sanctums, even the Ancient One was not certain of victory in this battle.

If things go wrong, I could really die here.

Therefore, she had to protect Ren first. This young man was the hope for the future of the Earth, and he could not be lost here.

"Sorcerer Supreme, please don't be nervous."

Ren, however, seemed quite relaxed, even reassuring the Ancient One: "Don't worry, he can't do anything to us. I have some good stuff on me."

Ren always carries the Power Stone with him.

Back then, that brainless Ronan almost single-handedly wiped out the entire Nova Empire with just a Power Stone.

Ren believed his Magic skills far surpassed Ronan's.

Now that we have this Universe- level cheat code, even if Dormammu's clones are incredibly strong and we can't beat them, blasting a path through them and escaping is still a piece of cake.

Ancient One was taken aback when he heard this.

"A treasure of this caliber... and you actually carry it with you?" Ancient One's lips twitched slightly.

The Infinity Stones are something that would cause a Universe war no matter where they are placed. The Sorcerer Supreme of all generations has always regarded the Time Stone as an ancestor and kept it in the deepest part of Kamar-Taj.

Ren, on the other hand, treats it like a pendant, carrying it around in his pocket?

"Is there anywhere safer than on me?" Ren asked innocently.

Ancient One his mouth.

It seems... that's actually true.

With his current strength and those abnormal survival skills, there are very few people in the entire Universe who can snatch things from him.

Now that Ren had the Power Stone as a backup, the Ancient One was relieved.

With this thing, even if I can't win a fight, I'll definitely be able to survive.

"Sorcerer Supreme"

Ren suddenly turned his head and looked at the Ancient One, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

"I want to... give it a try."

"Try what?" Ancient One asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I want to try taking on Dormammu one-on-one." Ren said calmly, as if he were talking about wanting to have hot pot for dinner.

Ancient One was completely stunned.

A one-on-one fight against Dormammu?!

Even if it's just a Divine Avatar, it's still the ruler of the Dark Dimension! Even she, who has been Sorcerer Supreme for hundreds of years, could only barely repel it by taking advantage of the terrain.

You, a mere kid who's only been learning Magic for less than two years, actually dare to challenge Dormammu to a duel?

That's incredibly audacious!

However, seeing the determination in Ren's eyes, Ancient One did not reprimand him.

"If you insist on it."

Ancient One slowly took a step back, making room for him. "Then I'll stay here and cover for you. If you really can't hold on, step back immediately. Don't push yourself."

In fact, Ancient One was also very curious.

She wanted to see for herself just how terrifyingly powerful her monstrous disciple, who always managed to create miracles, had become.

With the Ancient One's permission.

Ren turned around to face the enormous face in the sky that blotted out the sun.

He had long wanted to see just how powerful this infamous Dimensional Entities from the Marvel Universe really was.

"The Ancient One!"

"Are you scared? Sending a greenhorn apprentice to his death?"

"What a pathetic struggle."

Dormammu's enormous clone let out a deafening laugh in the sky.

"Sad?"

Ren scoffed and retorted without any politeness.

"You old monster, after all these years, all you've grown is a big mouth?"

"To put it bluntly, you're just a coward who only dares to hide in the Dark Dimension like a turtle. If you're so capable, why don't you show your true form a few steps?"

As soon as Ren said that...

Not only was Dormammu stunned, but even the Ancient One behind him couldn't help but gasp.

That kid has some nerve!

How dare they point their finger at Dormammu and call him a coward?

"Mortal!"

Dormammu was hit where it hurt and immediately became enraged.

"How dare you speak to me in that tone?!"

"Even the Ancient One wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous!"

Dormammu roared, his enormous voice causing the entire alternate dimension to vibrate.

"I'll correct you on two points."

Ren held up two fingers and said slowly.

"First, it's not that the Sorcerer Supreme is afraid to scold you; she's just well-mannered and doesn't want to bother with an uncultured, barbaric creature like you."

"Second..."

Ren's eyes narrowed. "I'm not here to die, I'm here to beat you up!"

"Court death!"

Dormammu went completely berserk.

The enormous mouth in the sky suddenly opened wide.

Boom!

A black beam of light, tens of meters thick and composed of extremely pure dark energy, slammed down towards Ren like a waterfall from the heavens, carrying a terrifying pressure capable of destroying the world!

"Damn it, this old bastard has no sportsmanship! He just started attacking without warning!"

Ren cursed.

Their reaction was by no means slow.

He pushed upwards with both hands.

"Seraphim Shield!"

Buzz!

A massive shield radiating dazzling golden light instantly materialized above Ren's head, protecting him completely beneath it.

Rumble!

The black beam of destructive light slammed heavily onto the Seraphim Shield.

In an instant, the golden light and black energy clashed fiercely, and the ear-piercing sound of energy friction was chilling.

Ren frowned slightly.

He could feel that his prized Seraphim Shield was beginning to tremble slightly under the continuous bombardment of the black beam of light!

Good heavens!

This is one of the strongest single-target defensive Magic he currently possesses!

As expected of the ruler of the Dark Dimension. A mere beam of energy uttered by his clone was enough to shake the Seraphim Shield. This power is indeed not to be underestimated.

Just as Ren was about to continue channeling Magic Power into the shield...

A crisp, Electronic Voice suddenly rang in my mind.

"Bite!"

"[Seraphim Deified Shield] is under unprecedented pressure from high-dimensional energy!"

"[Seraphim Deified Shield]'s potential has been fully unleashed!"

"Bite!"

"[Seraphim Deified Shield] has triggered a hidden evolutionary branch: Devouring Replenishment!"

"Your shield will automatically absorb the enemy's attack energy and convert it into Pure Origin Magic, which will then be returned to the host!"

The System Notifications tone had just finished.

Ren felt the golden-red shield above his head, which had been trembling slightly, suddenly transform into a giant vacuum cleaner.

The black beam of light that struck the shield was not only unable to cause any further damage, but was instead devoured by the shield!

Immediately afterwards.

An extremely large and extremely pure energy flowed continuously into Ren's body through the shield!

"Hmm..."

Ren couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan.

This feeling is amazing.

Not only was his depleted Magic Power instantly replenished, but the immense energy was also continuously cleansing and strengthening his physical body.

It was like rain after a long drought; every cell in my body was cheering with joy.

"Cool!"

Ren's eyes lit up, and he shouted directly at Dormammu in the sky.

"Old monster! Have you not eaten? Is that all the strength you have?"

"Increase the intensity! Keep going! Don't stop!"

Ren even proactively removed some of his Magic Power defense to allow the shield to absorb the magic faster.

In the sky.

A bewildered expression, almost human-like, appeared on Dormammu's enormous face.

This kid...

Are you sick?!

This is a dark death ray that can instantly corrode planets!

Not only did you not dodge, but you even had an expression of enjoyment on your face, letting me keep shooting at you?

Have all humans on Earth evolved this perverse masochistic tendency?

Dormammu had lived for so long, and this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre opponent.

After a brief moment of confusion...

Instead, there was endless anger.

Shame!

This is a blatant provocation and an insult!

"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

I'm going to grind you into dust, bit by bit!

Dormammu was completely enraged.

His Abyss maw widened even further, becoming like a Black Hole.

Boom!

A black beam of light, twice as thick and a deeper color than before, carrying terrifying energy capable of destroying the entire alternate dimension, poured down on Ren once again!
