Desperate Counterattack! Stun Dormammu!

Faced with Dormammu's devastating black beam of light.

Instead of retreating, Ren withstood immense pressure and held firm against the Seraphim Deified Shield.

The terrifying energy surge caused Ren's legs to sink deep into the rocks.

However, as the shield frantically devoured Dormammu's dark energy, the light in Ren's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Bite!"

"Your [Seraphim Deified Shield] is full!"

"[Seraphim Deified Shield] feels brimming with power and can't wait to unleash its full potential!"

"[Seraphim Deified Shield] unlocks exclusive counterattack skill: [Energy Discharge]!"

"When the energy absorbed by the shield reaches a critical point, it can instantly reflect all the energy back at the enemy with several times the power!"

I heard the System Notifications in my mind.

Ren grinned.

This skill is becoming more and more considerate.

It's perfect for dealing with Dormammu, a kind of mindless power bank that only knows how to output damage.

Dormammu!

Ren suddenly roared and strained his legs.

Boom!

He shot up like a cannonball, heading straight up against the thick black beam of light!

"Take this— Crow Sits on an Airplane!"

Ren let out an extremely embarrassing, childish roar in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards.

He shoved the shield in his hand, which was now saturated with energy and radiating a blinding golden light, forward with tremendous force!

Buzz--!

A golden beam of light, even thicker than Dormammu's attack, erupted from the shield!

The golden beam of light mysteriously transformed into a giant golden fist in mid-air!

This fist, imbued with Dormammu's own dark energy and the pure Divine Power added by Ren, tore through the black pillar of light with an extremely domineering and unreasonable force.

Then.

A solid punch landed on Dormammu's enormous face in the sky!

Bang!

It was accompanied by a deafening thud.

Dormammu's giant face, formed from dark energy, was actually dented by this punch! His entire facial features were twisted and deformed!

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Standing below, the Ancient One watched the scene in the sky.

Her usually intelligent eyes were now wide open, and her mouth was slightly agape, completely losing her usual composure.

What did she see?

Ren... actually punched Dormammu in the face?!

And what the hell is that move called? Crow Sits on an Airplane?!

What utter nonsense!

However bizarre the name, its power was undeniable! Dormammu was actually stunned by that punch!

In the sky.

Dormammu's distorted face took several seconds to slowly return to normal.

He was truly stunned.

It has been countless millennia since he became the lord of the Dark Dimension.

When has he ever been so blatantly humiliated?!

Although this punch did not cause any substantial damage to his Divine Avatar.

But!

That's extremely insulting!

Especially since it was in front of his longtime nemesis, the Ancient One!

He was humiliated by a human brat whose name he couldn't even recall!

This leaves the high and mighty Dormammu utterly humiliated!

"Mortal!!!"

"You're courting death!!!"

Dormammu let out a hysterical roar.

With his roar, an extremely dense dark energy suddenly erupted from his enormous face. This energy resembled sharp barbs, making him look like a giant black sea urchin.

A pressure ten times more terrifying than before descended upon the entire alternate dimension as if it were a tangible force.

Under this oppressive force.

Even Ren felt that the flow of Magic Power within his body had become somewhat sluggish.

"This old monster is getting serious. As expected of Dimensional Lord, his aura is truly terrifying."

Ren felt the pressure around him and silently assessed the situation.

However, he didn't back down at all.

"Mortal?"

"Dormammu, it's too late for you to flatter me now!"

"You're going to get a beating today!"

Ren retorted without holding back.

"Court death!"

Dormammu was so enraged that he was practically spitting fire, and even his voice became extremely terrifying.

He opened the gaping maw of the Abyss.

This time, instead of a beam of light, a dense cloud of pure black mist erupted, seemingly capable of swallowing all light!

The black mist was incredibly fast, instantly enveloping Ren and his Magic Shield.

"Can't we try something new?"

Enveloped in black mist, Ren continued his habitual taunts.

However, his gaze became extremely solemn, and the output of his Magic Power instantly surged to its limit.

Dormammu, that old fox, has changed his tactics; it's definitely more dangerous than the beam of light from before.

As expected.

"Bite!"

"Your [Seraphim Deified Shield] has been corrupted by extremely pure dimensional dark power!"

"Warning! The power of darkness is attempting to corrupt your shield!"

"If the corruption succeeds, your defenses will be completely destroyed!"

A system warning was heard.

Ren watched helplessly as the surface of his gleaming golden shield rapidly turned black. A nauseating aura of darkness was creeping up the shield, attempting to invade his body.

The Ancient One, standing below, saw this scene and her expression changed drastically.

Click!

The Magic Folding Fan in her hand, which had just been repaired and had been with her for over a hundred years, was unconsciously squeezed so hard that it broke into two pieces!

Ignoring the pain in her heart regarding the folding fan, Ancient One's eyes were fixed on Ren, who was shrouded in black mist.

Dark Corruption!

This is one of Dormammu's most insidious and terrifying tactics!

Anyone tainted by this dark power will, like Kaecilius, have their soul forcibly twisted and corrupted, ultimately becoming a slave to the Dark Dimension!

The Ancient One's hands instantly glowed with dazzling Magic light, ready to save Ren at all costs.

However.

Just as she was about to make her move.

"Bite!"

"Your [Seraphim Deified Shield] has unleashed an extremely strong will of resistance!"

"[Seraphim Deified Shield] says: You want to corrupt me? No way!"

"Your shield has successfully resisted the corruption of darkness! And has taken this opportunity to achieve ultimate sublimation!"

Under the incredulous gaze of the Ancient One.

The black shield in front of Ren, which had been half-stained, suddenly burst forth with golden light ten times more dazzling than before!

Wherever the golden light passed, the viscous dark energy vanished without a trace, like the first snow meeting its nemesis!

The shield was not only restored to its original state, but the Runes on it became even more intricate and sacred!

"This..."

Ancient One stood frozen in place, his hands raised.

She had already prepared for the worst.

As a result, Ren actually blocked Dormammu's most outrageous move with such ease?!

It's like an ordinary person physically withstanding a nuclear bomb, then dusting themselves off and saying, "These fireworks are pretty good."

This level of absurdity has completely exceeded the limits of the Ancient One's comprehension!

"What kind of monster is this kid?!"

Ancient One silently cried out in her heart.

She had thought she had overestimated Ren enough.

But now it seems that this kid's potential is a bottomless Black Hole!

On the other side.

Dormammu, who had been grinning from ear to ear as he saw Ren's shield turn black, was ready to witness the birth of his new follower.

This is the power he is most proud of. If the corruption is successful, Ren's powerful soul and talent will become the most delicious tonic in the Dark Dimension.

But.

His smile froze completely before it could fully bloom.

That deadly dark corruption failed?!

"How is this possible?!"

"What kind of monster are you?!"

Dormammu's enormous eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

He has devoured so many Universe, yet he has never encountered a human who could withstand his dark corruption head-on!

"Monster? Are you introducing yourself?"

Ren sneered and retaliated without holding back.

Dormammu, not only is he ugly, but he also has no words to curse.

"No!"

After a brief moment of shock, Dormammu's gaze toward Ren instantly turned fervent.

The more capable a genius is of resisting his power, the greater the benefits they bring to the Dark Dimension once forcibly devoured!

"You can't escape! Just blend into the darkness!"

Dormammu suddenly opened Abyss gaping maw.

An extremely large black vortex instantly formed in his mouth.

An irresistible and terrifying suction force erupted from the vortex.

Ren suddenly felt a lightness in his body. If he hadn't used his Magic Power to pin himself firmly in mid-air in time, he would probably have been sucked into that Black Hole instantly.

At this critical moment...

"Bite!"

"Your [Nebula Storm] (formerly Winds of Watoomb) has detected that its host is in danger!"

"As your most cherished little darling, [Nebula Storm] has decided to step forward!"

"Critical hit effect triggered! Your next attack will be increased tenfold in power!"

I heard the voice in my head.

Ren was overjoyed!

Sure enough, among these quirky skills, wind Magic is the most reliable! It never fails you in crucial moments and can even deliver a super gift package of ten times the critical hit rate!

Dormammu is now in luck!

"Old monster, since you enjoy smoking so much..."

"Then I'll give you a gift too, to help you recover!"

"Take this— Tornado Destroys the Parking Lot!!!"

Ren shouted and swung his right hand forward sharply.

Boom!

An already terrifying black hurricane, amplified tenfold by the attack, instantly swelled into a colossal, world-destroying storm!

This violent hurricane, with the force to tear everything apart, plunged directly into Dormammu's Abyss maw through the suction force!

Dormammu didn't even have time to react.

It felt as if an extremely violent blender had suddenly been shoved into my giant mouth, which was formed from dark energy!
