The fierce battle of three Level Seven Archmages could, if fought in the Outside World, even destroy a galaxy.
A place like the Solar System is not even worth mentioning in front of Level Seven Archmages who can easily fight across space.
At the very least, a vast space on the scale of the Milky Way Galaxy would be required to serve as a battlefield for Level Seven Archmages.
Level Seven, also known as Single Universe Level, Skyfather Level, or Celestial.
Three Level Seven Archmages—every clash of their Mystic Energy could destroy several planets. And in the Dark Dimension, using Dead Planets as projectiles in a fight is commonplace for Dormammu.
But even this pile of planets could be obliterated by a single Great Destruction Magic spell from Ancient One and Shazam.
Space Rend, Magic Oscillation, dimensional strikes, Matter Annihilation…
This is only possible because the Power of Time is greatly weakened in the Dark Dimension. Otherwise, with the full power of Time Magic unleashed, the destruction would be even more terrifying. It might even be possible to shatter the entire Dark Dimension, or even tear it apart.
Dormammu was also fighting for his life. If he won this battle, he would get everything: the Magic Legacies of Kamar-Taj and the Rock of Eternity, countless Secret Arts, and even Earth, which he considered a thorn in his side.
As for the Dark Dimension, as long as it wasn't destroyed in one go, it would slowly recover. A thousand years, ten thousand years, a million years—it didn't matter.
After all, time has no meaning to him.
As long as this Universe isn't destroyed, his time is infinite.
The universe-level battle erupted with terrifying aftershocks. The slightest sliver of power could easily destroy a Level Four lifeform, even annihilating them at the atomic level and completely erasing all traces of their existence.
The Rock of Eternity directly broke through the dimensional barrier, connecting Earth and the world of the Dark Dimension, linking two unrelated worlds.
Because of the unique nature of the Rock of Eternity, every millimeter of its land, aside from the Concealment Magic painstakingly applied by Shazam, was imbued with even more spells, such as Space-Time Magic.
The trio's brutal battle even broke through the limits of the Dark Dimension, reaching the Outside World directly, and following the path of the Rock of Eternity, it reached Earth.
Earthquakes suddenly erupted.
Clouds were shattered by an unknown force, slowly dissipating into the air. The oceans began to roar as massive waves hundreds of meters high erupted in areas where space was fragile, sweeping over everything. A few of them crashed onto the continents, causing considerable damage.
Countless meteorologists were completely bewildered, scrambling to collect data and analyze what had gone wrong. But they soon discovered to their astonishment that this was a global phenomenon.
What was even more terrifying was that the satellites orbiting Earth began experiencing signal disruptions one after another under the influence of this unknown force.
Small-scale earthquakes began to occur in various places. Seismological agencies issued frantic warnings as minor tremors erupted continuously, as if a catastrophic change had suddenly occurred in Earth's core.
"Go investigate! Why are Anomalous Disasters happening all over the globe?"
"What in the world is going on? Is this the End of the World?"
Many superhumans suddenly looked up at the sky. Those proficient in Magic could even feel an omnipresent sense of suffocation; the slightest leak of energy could lead to terrifying, extinction-level consequences.
The Rookie Mages left behind at Kamar-Taj, under the leadership of the few remaining senior Sorcerers, desperately worked to stabilize the magic arrays covering Earth. In some places, the arrays even materialized, struggling to resist the energy leaking from another Dimension.
Strange, glowing Runes appeared on Earth without any warning and were noticed by many people. Although they didn't know what these things were, anyone who recalled the recent incident where the Sorcerer had a major fight with Tony would automatically connect these Runes to Sorcerers.
A terrifying event was taking place.
Krrrack...
Somewhere on Earth, Sorcerers from several magical families were observing with grave expressions. Soon, their faces changed drastically, turning deathly pale.
A... Rift suddenly appeared in the azure sky.
A Rift had appeared in the sky!
"A Rift has actually appeared in space..." a Sorcerer said with a grim smile. "Is a Monster from another Dimension invading Earth? An enemy that has to shatter space and dimensions just to cross over..."
Not only was power leaking from the three Archmages' brutal battle, but due to various reasons, the Projection of their fight even broke through the confines of space and was transmitted to the vicinity of Earth.
A Projection of Dormammu, larger than Earth itself, appeared in the sudden darkness, letting out a silent roar to the heavens. Its cavernous maw, even seen from across a different Dimension, drove the people of Earth to the brink of collapse.
"What in the world is that?!" someone cried, unable to accept it. This had happened just as he was getting off work, and the surreal scene was a massive shock to his system.
He wasn't the only one; more than half of Earth saw Dormammu's Projection. The pressure brought by a body larger than the planet itself was utterly despairing.
Before this Monster, two tiny figures, one white and one gray, fearlessly met the challenge. One after another, incredibly powerful spells capable of destroying entire galaxies were unleashed from their hands, as volleys of concentrated Mystic Energy that disintegrated Matter bombarded Dormammu.
Even in a two-on-one fight, they held no obvious advantage.
After all, Dormammu had the power of the entire Dark Dimension backing him. He just needed to wear them down, and sooner or later, he could exhaust Ancient One and Shazam to death.
A concentration of Dark Power, like a black hole, shot forward—a Dark Source that tore apart and devoured all Matter—and collided with the high-powered Magic of Ancient One and Shazam.
The exchange of spells comparable to Nuclear Bombs—that's the only way the Mortals watching the Projection could describe it—unleashed a terrifying might. The land beneath Ancient One's and Shazam's feet disintegrated in an instant, silently vanishing.
The clash of three incredibly powerful forms of Magic from different sources, the attrition between different particles, even created a scene like a natural disaster. Silently, a continent with a complex structure was directly disintegrated into microscopic particles.
The terrible vibrations transmitted to the other battlefield in the same space—the tremors from the Dark Dimension—had long been noticed by Tony and the others.
The battlefield on Tony's side was a simple clash of numbers. Perhaps the power level wasn't as high as on Ancient One's side, where every attack was a Planet-destroying Level magical output, but it was just as brutal over here.
The number of combatants on both sides had already surpassed eighty million.
One by one, the people with Tony had joined the battlefield. The situation was becoming increasingly difficult; tony's Legion was suffering constant losses, and its numbers were dwindling.
If it weren't for people like Professor X, Magneto, and Magik, who possessed area-of-effect attacks, he would have been overwhelmed long ago.
The number of Mindless Ones was just too great. The more they killed, the more appeared; they were simply endless.
Diana casually used her Divine Power to strike down several hundred Mindless Ones before returning to Tony's side. The Amazon warrior wore a grave expression.
"If your plan is just to blindly kill enemies, then we're all going to die here today," Diana said, her expression grim.
"Don't worry, we have reinforcements, and their strength is beyond your imagination." Tony was very calm. Although maintaining fine control was consuming a great deal of his energy, he remained composed.
Their reinforcements were not just one person, but a whole group.
