“Retrieve that page of the 【Darkhold】! We absolutely cannot allow it to fall into the hands of the 【Sorcerer Supreme】.”
Clea's command seemed to be laced with some kind of magical restraint specifically designed to control Lilith.
Although the latter resisted inwardly, she was powerless to refuse.
At this moment, below, the Ancient One glanced at the altar on the island that connected to the 【Hell Dimension】, and the endless stream of demon armies pouring out from it, and frowned, saying:
“Massive invasion of the real dimension, 【Demon Lord】, your behavior is out of line!”
“【Sorcerer Supreme】, I am not here to start a war. The reason I came to this world is simply for revenge.”
Lilith stared intently at the Ancient One, carefully choosing her words as she negotiated, “Now that my great revenge has been achieved, I can lead the demon army back to 【Hell】 and close the dimensional通道…”
After a slight pause, she pointed to Karl, who had transformed into "Skull Man" below, and continued, "But the prerequisite is that he must return what he stole from me! !"
The Ancient One turned to look at Karl, but the latter remained unmoved and had no intention of explaining.
The Ancient One couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
As expected, this hateful dimensional demon only knows how to cause trouble!
Anything related to him becomes incredibly complicated and headache-inducing.
But what can she do when they are "strategic allies?"
In addition, Lilith's illegal invasion of the real dimension had indeed crossed the line for 【Kamar-Taj】.
Naturally, it was impossible to negotiate with her.
Otherwise, if word got out, those who thought 【Kamar-Taj】 was weak and easily bullied might follow suit!
If that happened everywhere, it would be really troublesome!
Therefore…
“I don’t care about any entanglements between you, but your actions have violated the rules of 【Kamar-Taj】.”
The Ancient One's gaze was profound, and her tone was deep and firm as she said, “You must immediately leave Earth with all the demons, stop committing evil in the real world, and swear an oath with your soul that you will never appear on Earth again!”
“If you agree, I will let you go…”
The Ancient One didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone knew what it would be.
Faced with such a firm statement, a trace of struggle flashed in Lilith's eyes.
Reason told her that she should do as the Ancient One said to save her own life.
The real world was not her home field, and she would definitely not gain any advantage in a real fight.
However, Clea's control over her made her make a completely different choice, “So there’s no room for negotiation? Attack!”
As the order was issued, the surrounding demon army immediately pounced on the people on the "Ghost Yacht".
These low-level demons were not as afraid of the Ancient One as Lilith and other great demons.
Their minds were always relatively simple, and they simply didn't know what fear was.
They didn't care what kind of 【Sorcerer Supreme】 the bald head opposite them was!
Because unless they were destroyed using specific methods or special powers,
Even if they died, their souls would return to the 【Hell Dimension】.
Then, as long as they spent a certain amount of time… after 18 years, they would be a good man again!
So what was there to be afraid of? Just do it!
However, just as Lilith was preparing to take advantage of the demon army's interference to directly snatch the 【Immortality Trait】 back from Karl,
She saw the Ancient One, who had originally been standing with her hands behind her back, extend her right arm and gently wave it in Lilith's direction.
Crack——
Accompanied by a crisp sound, in the next instant, the space where Lilith was located was instantly enveloped by layers of flowing mirror surfaces.
The figures of the Ancient One, Karl, and others gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared completely.
Obviously, she had been taken into the 【Mirror Dimension】.
“Damn it, Ancient One, let me out!”
Lilith's eyes flickered with scarlet light, and wisps of dark energy emanated from her body, seemingly wanting to forcibly break through the imprisonment of the 【Mirror Dimension】 with her own source power.
Whoosh——
But as soon as she made a move, sharp crystal cones suddenly pierced out from the surrounding mirrors, locking her figure in place and unable to move.
Lilith urged the dark energy with a face full of unwillingness, trying to shatter these crystal cones, but it was all in vain. Instead, she was stabbed all over with blood by the crystal cones in the process.
Obviously, her strength was not enough to confront the Ancient One head-on.
“I’ll let you go when you’ve thought it over…”
The Ancient One's voice echoed eerily in this space, but it was soon drowned out by Lilith's angry roar.
Real world.
The Ancient One pinched the magic seal with both hands, slowly opening it outwards in front of her. The 【Eye of Agamotto】 hanging on her chest rotated accordingly, instantly emitting a faint green light from within.
“It’s the 【Time Stone】!!”
Karl glanced at it imperceptibly, and then forcibly suppressed the urge in his heart to "rob while the house is on fire".
Because now was not the time…
The Ancient One gently rotated her palm, pinched a complex magic seal again with her fingertips, and then pushed it forcefully towards the direction of the altar from afar.
Boom——
The 【Time Stone】, which had only been emitting a faint glow, instantly burst into dazzling brilliance.
The powerful 【White Magic】, with the power of the 【Time Stone】, instantly turned the “two-way” portal in the center of the altar that connected to the 【Hell Dimension】
Into a “one-way” portal that only allowed entry into the 【Hell Dimension】 from the real world, but not passage from the 【Hell Dimension】 to the real world!
Even the Ancient One, who possessed the title of 【Sorcerer Supreme】, had to rely on the power of the 【Time Stone】 to completely close this portal.
And the reason she left half of it was simply to be able to drive more demons back.
After all, compared to killing, expulsion was more convenient and less risky.
In the interval of the Ancient One's attack, the mystic masters who had been standing behind her also greeted the demon army one after another.
Some of them held magical artifacts, while others directly used the 【Rings of Raggadorr】 and 【Energy Whip】 to fight.
With the blessing of 【Vishanti】's 【White Magic】, their attacks often caused great damage to demon creatures from the 【Hell Dimension】.
However, in stark contrast to the many “melee mages”, Kaecilius and Wanda showed extremely dazzling long-range magic attacks.
The former quickly formed seals with both hands in front of him, and after a short period of charge, he heavily pressed down on the ground.
Boom boom——
Two orange-red chains of lightning instantly roared out like two swimming dragons, leaping and conducting back and forth among the demons.
Any demon hit by these two lightning bolts, no matter how strong their physique or how tough their skin, would have a large hole instantly burned through their body by the scorching high temperature.
This is the large-scale · attack type · high-level magic——【Bolts of Balthakk】!!
In the original work, Doctor Strange used this move when fighting Thanos with four Infinity Stones on 【Titan】.
However, because the transmission speed was not as fast as Thanos's reaction, it failed to hit.
But it is simply perfect for dealing with these densely packed and mindless low-level demons.
The surrounding demons fell in pieces like harvesting wheat.
The fierce offensive just now suddenly stagnated!
It's just that in this process, the 【Bolts of Balthakk】 almost injured those mages who chose melee combat several times, causing some dissatisfaction among the crowd.
However, Kaecilius chose to turn a blind eye to this.
The conflict between mages seems to be intensifying silently.
……
【Prestige +99, +79, +59…】
【Detected collectible demon soul fragments, subspace soul number +1, +1, +1…】
……
As for Wanda, after the battle began, she relied on the abundant magic power in her body and flew directly into the air.
Scarlet 【Chaos Magic】 emanated continuously from her fair fingertips.
The newest chapter is first published at !
In the blink of an eye, it was woven into a huge and indestructible spider web in the air.
Those demons flapping their wings and rushing towards her in the air had no time to react and were all attached to it like flying insects.
No matter how they struggled, it was useless and they couldn't escape!
Then, Wanda slowly clenched her five fingers.
The huge spider web in the air also wrapped into a ball and continued to shrink inward… finally, with a “poof”, black blood with a sulfurous stench flowed down.
In the face of the powerful and unparalleled 【Chaos Magic】, these hell creatures had no power to fight back.
……
【Prestige +201, +137, +88…】
【Detected collectible demon soul fragments, subspace soul number +1, +1, +1…】
……
The reason why Wanda was so ruthless was on the one hand because these demons threatened Karl's safety, so she was very angry, and the consequences were serious!
On the other hand, she had only recently learned how to control the 【Chaos Magic】 that had “awakened” in her body, so she was not very skilled in controlling it.
The Ancient One looked at Wanda's figure in the sky and said worriedly, “Her murderous intent is very strong, just like you…”
Karl, who was originally thinking intently about why Wanda could suddenly help him harvest 【Prestige】 and souls, was next to him.
Hearing the other party's words, he immediately retorted unhappily: “I warn you not to talk nonsense, be careful I sue you for slander!”
Who would have thought that the Ancient One shook her head gently and said very seriously:
“Wanda's fate is covered by a powerful force. I originally thought it was affected by you, but as the 【Chaos Magic】 awakened in her body, I realized that this was not the case…”
???
If Karl's head had not turned into a flaming skull at this moment, the Ancient One would definitely be able to see the wonderful changes on his face.
No, it turns out… you, the big bald head, didn't know that there was 【Chaos Magic】 in Wanda's body before?
I always thought you were “omniscient”!
Karl couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He unknowingly committed the common problem that almost all time-travelers make.
That is, subjective consciousness is easily influenced by movies or comics, which leads to over-mythologizing certain specific characters, or even self-brainwashing!
But the fact proves that often some "gods" are simply that you think she is more "godly"!
For example, the Ancient One in front of you.
Although she seems to be “omniscient and omnipotent” in film and television works.
Even being killed by Kaecilius is touted by some people as being tired of long-term guardianship, so she left the opportunity and responsibility to the next successor.
Karl used to think so too.
But now, thinking carefully, he finds such remarks very ridiculous.
To say nothing else.
If the Ancient One really wanted to make way for the next generation, why did she have to choose the stupidest way to be “deliberately” killed?
Couldn't she just find a reason to retire?
Or directly enter the 【Mirror Dimension】 to live alone?
Could it be that she can't think of it or can't do it?
Therefore…
How can there be an “omniscient and omnipotent” 【Sorcerer Supreme】?
Even if the Ancient One has survived for hundreds of years by “borrowing”, she still cannot get rid of the essence of human beings… people make mistakes!
But there is one thing Karl will never deny.
That is, the Ancient One's strength is beyond doubt. The best proof is that she just "killed" Lilith in one move!
So Karl thought for a while and tentatively asked: “In other words, Wanda will have uncontrollable dangers in the future?”
The Ancient One was also puzzled by this, “This… I don’t know yet for the time being.”
Damn it!
Remember next time, if you don't know something, keep it to yourself!
Karl ignored the thoughtful Ancient One and first used the 【Mind Link】 to check on Selena's situation.
Then he used his consciousness to order Frank and others who were far away in 【Sokovia】: “Action!!”
…………
……
In the 【City of Impossible】.
The conference hall had fallen into an eerie silence.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Selena.
No one would have thought that this 【Moon Goddess】 would dare to openly refuse… no, it should be said that she openly provoked Saros.
Although many people secretly admired Selena's courage and魄力 not to fear the powerful.
But such a tit-for-tat approach was really unwise.
As long as you can save your life, being a dog for anyone is the same, right? Who cares who rides you?
“Selena, as the leader of the 【Witches' Council】, you must know what the consequences of refusing me will be, right?”
Saros was stunned for a full moment before threatening with a livid face:
“Although I admire the courage you have shown, your reckless actions just now may lead to the destruction of the 【Witches' Council】. Are you ready to bear that kind of consequence?”
Perhaps it was out of a man's desire to conquer… the more he was rejected, the more he wanted to get it!
Or perhaps he simply wanted to show his tough wrist in front of the leaders of the various sects.
In short, Saros did not explode immediately, but chose to use the survival of the 【Witches' Council】 as a bargaining chip to coerce Selena into compromising!
However.
This time, he was destined to miscalculate once again.
Faced with the threat, Selena's face still maintained the composure and calmness that drove Saros crazy, refuting dismissively:
"Of course, I'm prepared for that, but if you want to destroy the [Wizard Council]... you'll have to survive today first, won't you?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Saros frowned upon hearing this. Although he acted rashly, he wasn't completely brainless.
Naturally, he wouldn't think that Selena would make empty threats at this time.
The composure displayed on her face was definitely not something that could be faked through bluffing!
But this was precisely what made Saros feel extremely confused...
