The rift to the Dark Dimension has opened, and the fervent prayers of tens of thousands of gathered believers serve as the perfect bridge.
Even though the barriers of the three major sanctums have been fortified, the projection of the Dark Dimension has still been forcibly connected.
Alerts sounded almost simultaneously at the three major sanctums.
"Huh? Not good, there’s a dimensional disturbance?"
"Why is it so strong?"
"Why has the barrier failed?!?"
The mages guarding the three sanctums never imagined that such an overwhelming force could shatter the barrier and establish a connection with the Dark Dimension.
The opposition found the weakest point in the sanctums’ protection, employing methods of extraordinary sophistication!
"Quick, summon the Supreme Mage!"
Fortunately, with heightened vigilance already in place, the personnel stationed at the three sanctums immediately rushed to seek help from Kama Taiji.
This development caught Mordo and Wong off guard as well.
"Wasn’t Master Jack handling this personally? How could this happen!"
Mordo’s face was filled with shock—he was the mage most antagonistic toward the Dark Dimension.
"Well... looks like we’ll have to trouble the Supreme Mage after all."
The matter was originally entrusted entirely to Jack, while the Ancient One remained in secluded meditation.
But at a time , there was no choice but to seek guidance again.
"No need for words; I am already aware."
A hoarse voice echoed, like a chilling gust of wind, instantly lowering the surrounding temperature.
However, this was unmistakably the presence of the Supreme Mage.
"This incident will not have any dire consequences. Jack is already handling it; you merely need to continue protecting the sanctums."
The Ancient One’s voice floated forth again before abruptly halting.
Though this did little to assuage the mages’ unease, it still helped stabilize morale.
What could be done now?
With the current Supreme Mage’s affirmation and the future Supreme Mage actively tackling the situation, they had no choice but to wait...
Meanwhile, Tao Yu strode into the channel formed by the prayers of the countless believers, directly entering the Dark Dimension!
As he stepped through, an armor began to manifest around him, rapidly encasing him entirely—even his head—making him appear imposing and formidable.
In his hand was a hammer, flickering with lightning.
However, just as Tao Yu fully entered the Dark Dimension, the originally cerulean radiance on the hammer transformed naturally into black lightning.
Even the [Destroyer] armor he wore was dyed black, morphing into a pitch-black full-body suit of armor!
As he gazed ahead at Dormammu, who was beginning to coalesce into an awe-inspiring, mountain-like figure, continuously cursing under his breath, Tao Yu felt the intimate energy of the Dark Dimension.
"To be fair, this place is rather close to the Abyss and hasn’t been polluted. Looks like Dormammu has sensed something, no wonder he’s so terrified..."
Tao Yu glanced around, sensing his surroundings.
Perhaps Marvel’s Abyss Plane had been outright devoured, but Dormammu of the Dark Dimension was still surviving quite well.
"Servant of the Abyss! I’ve already yielded earlier, yet you still seek to eradicate me completely! Do you truly believe I wouldn’t dare fight you to the death?!"
Having fully materialized, Dormammu stood imposing, like an ancient demon god towering in the void. The small planets and meteorites nearby began to orbit around him, further emphasizing the enormity of his size.
Comparatively, Tao Yu appeared as insignificant as dust before him.
Yet upon entering the Dark Dimension, Tao Yu rolled his shoulders, causing the Destroyer armor to emit metallic grinding sounds.
Suddenly, his body began to expand violently!
As the Destroyer armor swelled, Tao Yu’s physique seemingly generated tangible flesh forcibly pressing against the [Destroyer] armor, forming a silhouette reminiscent of Unit-01, which then grew larger and larger without end.
The Destroyer armor simultaneously extended to envelop the enlarging form.
But this expansion’s appearance and pattern looked a bit grotesque.
Rather than scaling uniformly, it resembled an abrupt emergence of mutations, growing like bubbling pustules that swelled uncontrollably before other sections also began bubbling.
Like a chaotic spread of tumors.
Initially erratic and repulsive, the bubbling eventually consolidated into a perfectly symmetrical outline.
Reaching a height of a thousand meters, akin to a towering mountain!
Similarly, framed by the surrounding meteorites, Tao Yu locked eyes with Dormammu up ahead.
Within this dark space, exerting the altered Law of Heaven and Earth to its full extent, Tao Yu could feel the immense, surging energy swelling inside him.
Intermingling with the [Destroyer] armor, this power became even richer and more dynamic.
With every gesture and movement, it seemed as though he could effortlessly unleash city-obliterating force—as if a mere wave of his hand could erase an entire metropolis.
"Dormammu, I’ve come to negotiate. The Dark Dimension isn’t exactly a desirable place anymore. Hand it over to me, then head to Hell and find Mephisto."
With his overwhelming power burning brightly, Tao Yu raised the stakes "a little bit" as he faced Dormammu’s furious resistance.
"Silence! You servant of the Abyss! You’ve betrayed our world!"
Dormammu’s energy-laden form, akin to that of an ancient demon god, swung his massive arm, obliterating nearby meteorites entirely, as terrifying power from the Dark Dimension surged toward him.
This pressure caused even Tao Yu to feel a trace of unease within.
"I’ve underestimated this guy a bit. In the Dark Dimension, his strength surpasses even Odin and the Ancient One. Has the Realm Will been granting him buffs...?"
Even with the enhancements from the [Destroyer] armor, Tao Yu could distinctly feel the pressure pressing in from all directions.
