The Ancient One stared at Tony, a faint suspicion taking shape in her mind.
She put her hand behind her back, faint traces of the Dark Red Double-Hooked Symbol appearing on her forehead.
The Ancient One curled her finger, gently stirring a wisp of dark energy.
Her eyes remained fixed on Tony.
The dark energy rippled faintly, then lay immobilized in her palm, as though it had fallen into mud.
Shock surged through the Ancient One's heart, and her pupils contracted sharply.
Fuck!
The joke was on me!
The demon king was right beside me!
Mephisto bowed respectfully and looked at Tony with an ingratiating expression. "My lord, are you satisfied?"
Tony nodded in satisfaction.
Mephisto could be useful as a dog.
Tony smiled and pointed at Dormammu, who lay nearby playing dead while secretly constructing a long-range dark portal.
"Go kill him too."
Tony had severely injured Dormammu with a single punch.
But claiming these slippery old bastards couldn't even manage an escape would be utter bullshit.
Anyone who couldn't run away had died long ago. How else could they have survived until now?
Dormammu no longer dared to play dead. He hurriedly scrambled up and dropped to his knees. "Great Dark Ruler! I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you!"
Tony smiled gently, his expression warm. "I'm not some terrible villain. How about this? I'll only take one of you as my dog. Work it out yourselves."
In an instant.
The atmosphere changed.
Mephisto cursed inwardly. You damned demon king!!!
But his hand betrayed no hesitation as he summoned the Devil's Sword and swiftly hurled it at Dormammu.
A piercing shriek tore through the air, and the Devil's Sword reached Dormammu in the blink of an eye.
Dormammu refused to back down. He raised a Magic Circle
