"What's the meaning?"
The Ancient One didn't understand Su Zhou's meaning. She had led Kamar-Taj in its fight against the Dark Dimension for so many years.
Now Su Zhou is actually proposing that she become the Lord of the Dark Dimension?
You know what, I'm actually kind of interested!
"I don't mean anything else, but when it comes to combat, the practicality of Holy Energy is clearly inferior to that of the Dark Dimension."
Weakening, Slowing, Armor Penetration, Berserk, Bloodlust, Corruption, Willpower Reduction, Vision Obstruction, Rapid Aging
Dark Energy is far more effective than Holy Energy in this regard.
Su Zhou had indeed realized this; Dark Energy was inherently designed to invade.
In terms of combat, it can not only buff itself but also inflict negative status effects on enemies.
Aside from lacking healing abilities, it can basically be considered omnipotent.
The Ancient One lived for hundreds of years because she constantly stole food from Dormammu's bowl.
Furthermore, her mastery of Dark Energy is sufficient to make her Lord of the Dark Dimension.
The prerequisite is that there must be an unclaimed Dark Dimension!
"The reason Kamar-Taj forbids the use of Dark Energy is to prevent some mages from acting like Kaecilius."
Actively helping Dormammu devour the Earth doesn't mean that Dark Energy is useless.
If you were the master of the Dark Dimension, then Kamar-Taj would be able to acquire a completely new spellcasting system.
Stealing energy from dimensional demons is a mandatory course for every Kamar-Taj.
This is why Dormammu is not someone to be trifled with; otherwise, ordinary dimensional daemons wouldn't even bother with the small amount of energy that mages steal.
Moreover, the mental energy consumed by mages when using these energies is more beneficial to these dimensional demons!
"That's what they say, but how do you plan to kill Dormammu in the Dark Dimension?"
He is invincible within the Dark Dimension; the entire Dark Dimension is his avatar.
Killing him is tantamount to destroying the entire Dark Dimension. What's the point?
"I can sever Dormammu's connection to the Dark Dimension, and even erase his psyche."
I'll handle the details. You just need to tell me if you want to become the Lord of the Dark Dimension!
Su Zhou is still under the influence of the Phoenix Force. The grumpy old man is online, not one to argue.
However, the Ancient One shook her head, indicating that she did not want to be the Lord of the Dark Dimension.
"I cannot be the Lord of the Dark Dimension; my soul already belongs to the Eternity, that is my true home."
Immortality is a curse to me; I would have died hundreds of years ago if it weren't for waiting for a successor.
Suddenly, Ancient One grabbed Su Zhou's right hand and brought it close to her eyes to examine it closely.
Sensing the unfamiliar, dark aura above felt like discovering a new continent!
"You actually received a blessing from a dark dimensional demon?! And it's not even a dimensional demon I know!"
What exactly happened during the time you were away from this universe?
"This was compensation for the other party's breach of contract. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to be alive, otherwise I would be dead by now."
Su Zhou still felt a lingering fear when he recalled Lucifer's appearance, after all, he had been in the Marvel for so long.
A top DC villain suddenly appeared, and I almost didn't have time to react!
Ancient One carefully sensed the ram's head mark on the back of Su Zhou's hand, but did not detect the dimensional demon god's will within it.
The page only contains basic contact information, essentially an inactive magic circle.
Moreover, the only person capable of controlling the magic circle is Su Zhou himself!
"These dimensional demons have incredibly strong contractual principles; they didn't even consider backing out. It's bizarre!"
Ancient One chuckled upon hearing Su Zhou's sarcastic remark. After all, Su Zhou was now a Lord of a Dimension.
However, lacking the common sense of Lord of a Dimension, they didn't understand what such a promise meant to Lord of a Dimension.
"If the Lord of a Dimension does not abide by the rules he himself has set, he will only harm himself!"
"Ah?"
"You really need to go to the library in Kamar-Taj and study hard, or you'll regret it!"
Ancient One sighed helplessly, feeling even more melancholy as she thought about what she was about to say!
"The 'compensation' on your right hand represents your opportunity; from a certain perspective..."
It's a ' Stigmata ' from the Dark Dimension, but it's lost its energy-providing function. It seems the other party truly dislikes you.
But this is also a good thing for you; it's the opportunity that will allow you to become the Lord of the Dark Dimension!
Su Zhou: (*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!
Wow! I exclaimed, "Wow!"
Even the Lord of a Dimension wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing; the Ancient One is capable of great things!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to challenge the Lord of a Dimension hundreds of years ago; at the very least, they have a creative spirit!
However, considering the intricate connection between his system and the Divine Dimension, Su Zhou immediately rejected this tempting suggestion!
I can purify the entire Dark Dimension, but I absolutely cannot become the Lord of the Dark Dimension —that's the bottom line!
"Anyway, I'm just giving you a suggestion; you can decide for yourself."
Su Zhou and Ancient One were chatting here, while the Hong Kong Sanctum below had been reduced to ruins.
The two of them could even see the Dark Dimension that had invaded reality; it was pure, extreme Dark Energy!
Just then, Strange and Mordo emerged from the portal.
With just a glance at the rubble and broken tiles scattered on the ground, Strange, with the Eye of Agamotto hanging around his neck, made his move.
Using the power of the Time Stone, they controlled time around the Hong Kong Sanctum.
First, they paused time for Kaecilius and the Zealots, then began to rewind time.
Repairs began on the damaged buildings, and the exploded car was restored to its original state.
The injuries on everyone's bodies quickly healed, including Old Wong, who had been buried under the rubble, who crawled out.
However, Strange failed to notice was that a time rift had already formed at the edge of the area he controlled.
Meanwhile, Su Zhou watched as Ancient One diligently repaired the time rift to prevent the creation of other timelines!
"So even if you 'die,' you'll still be here repairing the time rift, right?"
Indeed, if it weren't for your expertise in time magic, Loki, God of Stories, wouldn't have summoned you to the Time Variance Authority.
"Time is relative. I haven't repaired the time rift yet, but Strange has already reached an agreement."
The Ancient One pointed to Kaecilius and the Zealots, who had already been taken away by Dormammu, and the Dark Dimension preparing to retreat.
It seems the terms have been agreed upon; no one can stand an endless time loop!
"In that case, Su Zhou respectfully sees off the Sorcerer Supreme."
Su Zhou gave Ancient One a perfunctory bow, and a pair of simple, unadorned wings appeared behind him.
"Remember the rhythm of the performance, do you know the Stanislavski System?"
"Have no idea."
What about Mei Lanfang and Brecht?
"I have no idea!"
