Chapter 69
A weapon that can halt time. A single shot would instantly freeze time in a designated area.
Such a Holy Relic is a top-tier weapon no matter where it's found; anyone whose power hasn't reached the Multiverse-level cannot escape its temporal interference.
But...
"But against Dormammu, time is the most useless thing."
Martin couldn't help but smile wryly.
Giving him Holy Relics like the Locking Scepter or the Phase Shifter would definitely be more effective than the Time Stasis Gun, as they could be used directly against Dormammu.
However, upon closer thought, it wasn't entirely without opportunity...
Martin looked up, once again tearing open the enveloping power of Darkness. The Mind Stone activated, and strands of Mind Storm frantically surged out, constantly twisting Dormammu's Willpower. Though it couldn't directly control him, it could at least create immense interference.
The Space Stone shimmered.
Throughout the entire Dark Dimension, horrifying cracks began to appear once more.
"Dormammu, tell me, what would happen if I were to bypass you directly and destroy the Dark Dimension first?"
A cold sneer curled Martin's lips.
Could Dormammu still shield himself from the flow of time then?
Without the Dark Dimension, even without the Infinity Stones, Martin was confident he could kill Dormammu!!
Dormammu's life... he was going to take it!
[Pleading for your support!].
***
A glint of decisiveness and ruthlessness flashed in Martin's eyes. He raised his right hand high, and as blue light flickered, he directly bypassed Dormammu and began to tear apart the Dark Dimension on a large scale.
Once the Dark Dimension was gone, he was confident he could directly kill Dormammu!
"What are you doing?"
Dormammu roared, magma churning. Vast waves of Black Magic surged forward, the vacuum boomed, and Darkness stirred restlessly.
"Dormammu, meet an old friend."
Martin sneered. With a rumble, a Space-Time Vortex appeared beside him, and a figure traversed through the Space Vortex and stepped in.
A figure in a broad yellow robe, who, upon taking off their hood, revealed a bald head.
"Ancient One!! You two actually teamed up!" Dormammu let out a roar of fury, his voice laced with shock.
Not long ago, these two had fought a bloody battle, unleashing the power of three Infinity Stones and shaking the entire Universe. Yet now, they were actually teaming up against him?!
Dormammu's expression darkened. "You..."
"Long time no see, Dormammu. I've been dreaming of this day, waiting for the chance to utterly eradicate you." The Ancient One revealed a faint smile.
On her forehead and around her eyes, a large, strange black pattern slowly began to grow. As the power of Darkness manifested from her, a portion of the power of Darkness within this Dark Dimension was slowly absorbed by the Ancient One. The Magic Power surging within her was also gradually strengthening.
She remained as serene as ever, a smile gracing her lips, as if utterly devoid of temper. Her aura was like the stillness before a storm.
On her chest, the Eye of Agamotto slowly opened, and the power of the Time Stone emerged.
It shimmered in concert with the Space Stone and the Mind Stone.
Three Infinity Stones converged, solely for this day, to utterly kill Dormammu here and eliminate all future threats.
In that instant, Dormammu immediately understood.
"You still came, you despicable and hypocritical Sorcerer Supreme!"
Dormammu let out a mad laugh, his ferocious gaze falling upon the Ancient One. "For so many years, you've been stealing my power of Darkness, and now you're using it against me?"
Dormammu suddenly sank, his colossal form exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. He stared at the Ancient One, sensing the determined aura emanating from her seemingly tiny body.
"Ancient One, you gained your power today by parasitically latching onto me. Now you will pay with your life—whether it's you or Martin, the combined efforts of two mere insects can never defeat me—the great Dormammu!"
Even more terrifying power of Darkness surged from Dormammu, filled with utterly chilling killing intent.
"You've got one thing wrong," the Ancient One said calmly, "the power of Darkness has never belonged to you. Even you are merely using this power." She spread her hands, and in an instant, a terrifying torrent of Magic surged forth. This sudden strike immediately blasted Dormammu's colossal body back a bit.
Dormammu roared, and in an instant, a vast amount of the power of Darkness rapidly flowed, completely repairing the wounds on his face.
"Ancient One! Martin! You two despicable humans!!"
Dormammu roared, extending a finger. The entire Dark Dimension responded, and in an instant, countless meteors burning with eerie green flames rained down, emitting deafening roars as they whistled, plummeting towards the Ancient One and Martin.
Martin cast a cold glance at the Ancient One and said indifferently, "According to the agreement between us, after I help you kill Dormammu, you will give me the Time Stone."
The Ancient One nodded. "Understood. I will keep my promise, but don't forget, that's when you leave Earth."
By handing over the Time Stone, she would lose a major tool for confronting Martin.
"Hmph, once Dormammu is dead, the first thing I'll do is leave Earth. All preparations are already complete."
Martin and the Ancient One conversed, already discussing how to divide the spoils of victory after killing Dormammu.
Dormammu grew even angrier. With a roar, the entire Dark Dimension began to stir, surging with agitation. All the dead stars and planets, now under the control of Dormammu's Darkness Magic Power, violently rushed towards the Ancient One and Martin.
Martin unleashed vast Space Vortexes.
The Ancient One raised her hand, and streaks of sparks appeared.
Large sections of the meteors were immediately sliced apart and diverted.
But more meteors, entwined with terrifying Magic, continued to pour forth relentlessly.
The Ancient One's brows furrowed slightly, her serene face betraying no emotional fluctuation. In the next instant, from beside her, identical meteors were replicated, rising from below to violently collide with the meteors Dormammu had launched!!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
It was as if entire galaxies were colliding and collapsing.
Martin attacked, and vast, terrifying Energy waves also erupted at that moment, continuously sweeping and striking Dormammu as if clearing away trash.
The fierce bombardment of countless meteors and Magic emitted horrifying sounds, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.
Each intense clash triggered terrifying aftershocks.
Martin stepped forward, unleashing his power to the absolute limit. He continuously attacked, allied with the Ancient One, striking Dormammu from multiple directions. This was an exceptionally peak battle; purely in terms of destructive power, it directly rivaled top-tier universe-tier cosmic gods.
Dormammu continuously channeled the power of the Dark Dimension.
The Willpower of the Lord of Darkness spread, and the Dark Dimension also underwent changes, with dust swirling and Magic Power capable of annihilating everything vibrating.
...
Yet, no matter how enraged Dormammu was or how much killing intent surged, facing the combined forces of Martin and the Ancient One, he gradually found himself at a disadvantage.
Already, facing Martin alone, he had struggled to be certain of victory. Now, with the Ancient One having forced her way into the Dark Dimension, his situation was even direr.
For a time, the great Lord of Darkness found himself in a perilous predicament.
Finally, amidst another terrifying explosion, even more horrifying cracks collapsed throughout the entire Dark Dimension. Under Martin and the Ancient One's relentless bombardment, the Dark Dimension's recovery speed was gradually falling behind the rate of its destruction.
"You two, stop! What exactly do you want? The great Dormammu will not easily compromise with anyone!!" A trace of panic stirred in Dormammu's heart as he roared.
"I said from the beginning," Martin scoffed, "I don't need your compromise or concession, because I intended to kill you from the start."
Martin sneered, continuously attacking. The power of the Infinity Stones was unleashed by him to its current maximum. With a cold sneer on his face, he directed his terrifying attacks around Dormammu, solely focused on destroying the Dark Dimension.
Finally.
The vast Dark Dimension, under Martin's relentless attacks, began to collapse in waves.
Space itself is an important foundation of a dimension, and the Space Stone in Martin's hand could be called the Divine Artifact of the highest Authority on the spatial aspect of a universe, specifically designed to destroy an independent dimension.
It was not difficult.
[Ahhh, please subscribe!!]
***
The Dark Dimension began to collapse.
This wasn't simple destruction; rather, because of the Space Stone, the most fundamental framework that constructed the Dark Dimension began to collapse. A mere Dark Dimension was suppressed on a conceptual level before the Space Stone.
Without the Dark Dimension, Dormammu's combat power would gradually plummet.
"You damned things, what have you done!!"
Dormammu watched in fury as his own world slowly approached annihilation.
This was his world! It was the very foundation of his power and immortality!
Yet... it was being destroyed by these two damned humans right before him!!
The Ancient One calmly stated, "We are killing you."
Dormammu roared, enveloped in rage and unease. He directly stretched out a hand, fiercely clawing at the Ancient One, but the Ancient One instantly conjured a Portal, which rapidly closed, severing Dormammu's arm.
Dormammu let out a painful wail.
Martin moved like a phantom. The Mind Stone lit up, and a psychic light suddenly struck Dormammu's head, frantically assaulting his spirit.
This time, it proved miraculously effective.
Dormammu's spirit was wounded, and this time, there was no complete Dark Dimension to share the burden for him.
Repeated injuries sent this ancient demon god into a berserk state.
"You are a Third Generation god of Yggdrasil, almost existing in the same era as Odin and others. Now, it's time for the era of you old things to end. You've been high and mighty, powerful for far too long—so long that your Willpower and ambition have decayed. You might as well be killed by me and make way for me."
Martin said indifferently, while frantically torturing Dormammu with the Mind Stone.
His voice carried a strange sincerity, yet it was precisely this that fueled Dormammu's rage even further. The humiliated fury and the panic of seeing the omen of death now surged into his heart simultaneously.
Dormammu vaguely felt in his heart that perhaps he was truly reaching his end.
This demise had come so suddenly. Not long ago, he was still the great Lord of Darkness, enjoying the awe of the entire universe. But now... he was stepping into death, and these two figures before him would absolutely not let him go.
Dormammu was once again heavily wounded under the combined attack of the two. His powerful power of Darkness also began to slowly dissipate at this moment. Every time he clashed with Martin and the Ancient One, he would suffer more injuries and grow even weaker.
"Even if I die," Dormammu roared, "for you, it's only the beginning. Sooner or later, you will follow in my footsteps!"
Dormammu's colossal body slowly collapsed. In every instant, a part of his body, containing the power of Endless Darkness, would dissipate.
He was heading towards death.
"Now I, am you in the future, Martin. I was once like you, ambitious and arrogant, believing the entire Multiverse would open its portal to me! But as time passes, some things change. When you finally stand at a higher position, you despairingly realize your path forward has long been blocked."
Dormammu growled, resisting with all his might, not sparing his last reserves of the power of Darkness, and burning his own body as he battled Martin and the Ancient One.
Martin's figure flickered, avoiding a Black Magic spell, and he said indifferently, "What's already blocked for you is a clear road for me. A few pebbles, I just need to kick them away."
