Casillas didn't know that during the first week, Dormammu had been tricked by Ancient Yi once, and he lost a physical clone. The price was heavy. In comparison, the magic power that was confiscated was nothing worth mentioning.
It is precisely because he has been tricked so many times by Ancient One that Dormammu almost has the sequelae of PTSD now. Seeing that he can come to Earth so easily makes him suspicious, fearing that it is another trap of Ancient One.
This time he learned the lesson and poured a huge amount of dark magic towards the earth. As for the real body, it just wouldn't go in.
The magic power of the dark dimension is almost endless, and it doesn't hurt no matter how much you lose, but if you are plotted against by Ancient One again, you will be stupid.
In this mud pit of earth, there are countless demon gods who have been made into meatballs by Ancient One, and Dormammu doesn't want to be the next one.
The magic power rolled in and spread from the opening of the New York Temple to the entire New York. Wherever it went, there was chaos.
This abnormal phenomenon quickly alerted the authorities, and then the mission was lowered and the police were asked to go and solve it.
After the police's advance troops lost contact one after another, the army was dispatched again, but it still failed. In the end, the matter went round and round and fell on SHIELD's head again.
However, the current S.H.I.E.L.D. has been turned into an empty shell by all forces. No one has equipment and nothing. How can we solve a disaster of this level?
Those politicians are passing the buck to each other and are unwilling to take this responsibility. As for the major forces that have received benefits, it is even less possible for them to use their newly acquired resources to solve problems for the federation.
With a bunch of people fighting each other, New York will soon fall.
There were no eggs left under the overturned nest, and Zhan Liu and Natalya's martial arts gyms were not able to escape the incident and were overwhelmed by the billowing dark magic.
The fifty new disciples immediately turned into male dogs in heat and started chasing Natalia and biting her. They were then made into fertilizer and buried in the small garden in the backyard.
Although the dark magic had little effect on Zhan Liu and the two of them, it still had some influence, making them very uncomfortable.
"Damn it!" Natalia was disgusted. "What is this? Hallucinogenic gas?"
"It should be dark magic..." Zhan Liu looked at the direction of the source of magic, "That's the New York Temple over there. Dormammu should be here, but don't worry, Doctor Strange will be there soon..."
Zhan Liu said half of his words, then he looked down at the Eye of Agamotto in his hand and began to be in a daze.
In the original plot, Doctor Strange was no match for Dormammu, relying solely on the Time Stone to make the enemy sick.
But now that the Time Stone is in Zhan Liu's hands, can Doctor Strange still send Dormammu away?
"Fuck! I'm so weak!" Zhan Liu cursed secretly, jumped up and ran towards the New York Temple.
He has to send the Time Stone back, otherwise if Dormammu comes running, he won't be able to handle it!
Zhan Liu flew towards the New York Temple in a hurry, fearing that he would be late and Doctor Strange would already be cold.
After arriving at the sky above the New York Temple, I saw a huge cage of black mist forming below, completely blocking the view.
Zhan Liu estimated the approximate position and fell down with a dive.
In the main hall, the situation has completely reversed. If it weren't for the large amount of magic array support, I'm afraid the Mage King and others would have been completely wiped out.
A group of mages were extremely anxious, but there was no hope of a comeback.
"Damn it! If the Supreme Mage had not died, how could it have become like this!"
As the concentration of dark magic became higher and higher, many mages who had not practiced enough began to be affected and began to complain in low voices.
Casillas still led a group of believers in praying loudly, and the sound spread far to the mage camp, making them even more desperate.
However, no matter how much Casillas prayed, the huge space door always stood there quietly, and except for the massive amount of dark magic that surged out, there was no sign of the devil's arrival.
Not only Casillas couldn't figure it out, but even the mages of Karma Taj couldn't figure out what went wrong and why the demon god Dormammu never came.
If it weren't for the creepy demonic aura coming from the other end of the space door, everyone would probably wonder if the dimension the space door is connected to is wrong, or if Dormammu is out and away.
Casillas could only think that the sacrifices he prepared were not enough, so he kept urging the dark believers to launch a fierce attack. No matter who died among us or the enemy, they could be used as sacrifices.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, crashed to the ground, and stepped on the center of the magic circle. The protective shield on the outside of the magic circle only resisted for a moment, then turned into bursts of fragments, scattered in all directions, and slowly dissipated in the air.
Without the obstruction of the magic shield, the running magic circle was nothing more than a pile of symbols carved on the stone floor, which was immediately trampled to pieces by Zhan Liu.
This is really an accident!
When Zhan Liu fell from the sky, his vision was blocked by the rich dark magic power, and he could not clearly see the actual situation below. He landed in the direction of the hall of the New York Temple based solely on the general direction in his memory.
However, Casillas captured the New York Temple and carved a magic circle to summon Dormammu in the most spacious position of the main hall.
So, by coincidence, Zhan Liu happened to land on top of the magic circle and destroyed it.
Without the maintenance of the magic array, the space door began to fluctuate and would collapse at any time.
Originally, under this situation, Dormammu could actually use his own dark magic power to power the space gate and maintain it. However, after seeing the unexpected Zhan Liu, Dormammu immediately canceled this idea.
Although the guy in front of him looked unattractive, he had just seen him not long ago. He crushed his own clone with one kick. He was a strong man who could not easily win in his own body.
Moreover, what is hung around this guy's neck is clearly the Eye of Agamotto, an artifact containing the Time Stone.
Dormammu and Karma Taj are old enemies. They probably know more about the Supreme Mage than the Mage King and the others. They know very well that this artifact is the inheritance of the Supreme Mage, and only the Supreme Mage will carry it with him.
Humph, I knew that this guy must be in the same group as Gu Yi, that old bastard.
The wise Dormammu saw through everything and angrily drained away the magic power.
This time, he did not let the magic power he paid before be lost, but took it all back.
Looking down from the satellite in the sky, all the black fog in New York was sucked back instantly like a whale sucking water, and poured back into the space door.
There is a price to pay for using magic power. The souls of those who died tragically in the previous chaos became the interests of the dark magic power, and were swept into the dark dimension. The souls of the remaining people who are not dead will naturally belong to Dormammu after they die in the future.
Magic Finance is such a huge profit!
Without the support of magic power, the space-time gate flickered a few times, collapsed into a small black hole, and disappeared automatically after a moment.
Dormammu threw away the believers on the other side like garbage.
This kind of believer who pursues power, as long as he wants to bewitched, he will naturally have as many as he wants, and it will not be a pity if they all die!
Casillas was dumbfounded this time, staring blankly at the empty hall in front of him, probably wanting to die.
Then he pointed at Zhan Liu and roared wildly.
"Get rid of this blasphemous guy!"
"Use him as a sacrifice, and we will sacrifice again!"
After listening to the order, the group of dark believers immediately abandoned the enemy on the opposite side and turned towards Zhan Liu and launched a charge.
Although Dormammu took away the magic power, these dark believers had been soaked in the magic tide for a long time, and the magic power in their bodies had reached an exaggerated level. They successfully forcibly raised a group of low-level cannon fodder to the level of high-level trash fish. .
However, no matter how strong the trash fish is, it is still just a trash fish. For a trash fish of this level, Zhan Liuyi can punch him without any pressure.
Casillas felt angry when he saw Zhan Liu playing Wushuang there. He knocked down all kinds of dark magic in turn, and even held daggers in both hands and came up to fight hand to hand.
The mages of Marvel and the mages of Middle-earth compete with each other. They are both used to fighting hand-to-hand with warriors, and they are willing to use their own hobbies to challenge other people's professions.
What's even more ridiculous is that often the soldiers really can't defeat these melee mages.
With the support of a huge amount of dark magic power, Casillas's all attributes have skyrocketed. He feels that his hand-to-hand combat ability has doubled, and he will definitely be able to achieve success in one fell swoop.
However, facing Zhan Liu's heavy punch, his resistance was not much stronger than that of ordinary dark cultists, and it was still only one punch.
When Casillas' head exploded like a rotten watermelon, the other dark believers immediately calmed down and began to disperse.
Zhan Liu was too lazy to pay attention to this rabble. Instead of continuing to chase, he took off the Eye of Agamotto from his neck and asked with a smile:
"Is Dr. Strange here? I sent the artifact back to him..."
Not far away opposite Zhan Liu, a group of surviving mages were slumped on the ground and breathing heavily. After hearing Zhan Liu's words, they looked at him with very complicated eyes.
After looking at the strange expressions on the faces of the mages opposite, Zhan Liu's heart sank and he asked hesitantly:
"Could it be that I'm late?"
"Doctor Strange...is dead?"
The Mage King turned around and discussed something in a low voice with the few mages around him, then climbed up from the ground with difficulty, adjusted his clothes, and walked slowly to Zhan Liu. He did not reach out to pick up the Eye of Agamotto, but secretly He said with a straight face:
"You killed the Ancient One Mage, Kama Taj will be your eternal enemy!"
"As for the Eye of Agamotto...since you took it away, why do you want to give it back now?"
"Tsk..." Zhan Liu curled his lips in displeasure and said shamelessly: "You may not believe it when I tell you the truth. Gu Yi bumped into my fist himself. She committed suicide. You can't blame it on me."
"As for this artifact, if it weren't for Doctor Strange needing it to suppress Dormammu, I wouldn't give this good thing back to you!"
"There are treasures in the world that belong to the virtuous. I feel that this treasure is destined for me!"
Although the space magic array was destroyed by accident and the space door was closed, Zhan Liu felt the terrifying aura coming from the other end of the space door the moment he landed.
Just relying on the aura transmitted from the alien space through the space gate has already made Zhan Liu's hair stand on end, and he simply does not dare to provoke such a terrifying demon.
Therefore, instead of holding on to the unusable Time Stone and facing the Dark Demon God who doesn't know when he will come to kill him in the future, it is better to simply throw the thing to the new Supreme Mage and let him take the lead.
Anyway, protecting the earth is the duty of the Supreme Mage, not Zhan Liu.
Hearing that Zhan Liu was rude and disrespectful to the dead Supreme Mage, the Mage King's face became even more gloomy, but he still forcibly restrained his temper. After all, the guy in front of him is a killer, and those dark believers whose mages are facing difficulties are no different from chickens under him.
If he angered the villain in front of him because of impulsiveness, I am afraid that Kama Taj would be wiped out today.
"You keep talking about Doctor Strange. We are in the Mage Temple and there are no doctors here. You are looking in the wrong place!"
"Eh?" Zhan Liu was stunned, "Didn't Gu Yi appoint Dr. Strange as his successor?"
"Then she didn't even arrange for a new Supreme Mage, so why did she run away?"
Mage Wang Yi frowned and said displeasedly: "If you hadn't killed Master Gu Yi, the Master would have already arranged for the next Supreme Mage!"
"No, no, no!" Zhan Liu shook his head repeatedly, "Gu Yi has the time stone and can see what will happen in the future. How can he not know how he will die?"
"She must have arranged everything. If you think about it carefully, who has she appointed as the next Supreme Mage?"
It's not that every universe has Strange succeeding the Ancient One as the Sorcerer Supreme, there is also a Tony Stark version. So Zhan Liu is not surprised that Dr. Strange is not here. But he was also very convinced that Gu Yi must have arranged a successor, otherwise there would be no major accidents and she would not just skip work.
After listening to Zhan Liu's words, the Mage King also frowned.
Gu Yi can see the future, and many people in Kama Taj know it, so the Mage King suddenly feels that Zhan Liu's words make sense.
He turned back to the mage team and discussed with a group of people for a long time before returning to Zhan Liu.
This time, his words became much more polite, and he even had a smile on his face.
"You just drove away the dark demon Dormammu, saved the earth, and also saved Karma Taj. We will never forget this kindness!"
"We recalled carefully just now. It seems that Master Ancient One did say who should take over as the next Supreme Master."
"That's enough, just give this artifact to the Supreme Mage you trust." Zhan Liu once again handed over the Eye of Agamotto in his hand, "As for the favor, there is no need to mention it. You will have to do it for Gu Yi in the future. It doesn’t matter if you seek revenge from me or whatever, I will continue to do it no matter what.”
However, after the Wizard King lowered his head and glanced at the Eye of Agamotto, he did not reach out to pick it up, but said with a strange expression:
"Master Ancient One once said during his lifetime that whoever holds the Eye of Agamotto will be the next Supreme Mage."
