The Ancient One's scalp prickled as she stared in shock at the nearly limitless darkness force before her.
The sky was shrouded in ever-expanding darkness, while dark gray spread across the ground.
Countless plants were altered by the darkness force, twisting into grotesque shapes.
This was the essence of a demon: wielding the power of a darkness source to devour an entire world.
"In that case, I have no choice but to act."
A clear light flashed over The Ancient One, and the power of heaven and earth converged on her body, becoming her strength.
Waves of searing pain erupted between Tony's brows.
Tony's expression shifted slightly. "Interesting."
Not only had The Ancient One fused with the power of the Dark Dimension, but she had also gained the support of the world source. She certainly lived up to her role as the Blue Planet's guardian.
"Tony, you're far too arrogant, daring to challenge me in the world I protect. I have this world's blessing, and you don't!"

All he could think about now was going home. The Dark Dimension was his safe harbor.
Dormammu hadn't given The Ancient One his Darkness Mark out of concern for the bigger picture. He simply wanted to use her to buy himself time.
