As the black mist that had shrouded the entire North American continent vanished in an instant, Lin Rui and his three companions, who had been standing atop Stark Industries building, as well as the E-Space Spaceship and the Milano floating in the sky, all disappeared simultaneously.
Their simultaneous disappearance undoubtedly indicated that the Earth sorcerers had completed the construction of the Mirror Dimension, which covered the entire continent. This Mirror Dimension trapped Dormammu, preventing him from causing harm to the real Earth.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, as everyone was momentarily stunned by Dormammu’s disappearance, inside the Mirror Dimension, on the top of Stark Industries building, Lin Rui and his companions wore serious expressions as they gazed at Dormammu, who had descended above them.
Hissing…
As the black mist descended upon the city, Stark Industries, an iconic building in New York, was the first to be consumed. Above Lin Rui and the others, Dormammu’s dark energy came into contact with Stark’s massive, luminous sign.
Upon contact, the sign disintegrated from top to bottom, turning into black powder and assimilating into the black mist, becoming a part of Dormammu.
Facing Dormammu’s rapid consumption, Lin Rui and his companions below were filled with grave concern. However, compared to their previous despair, they now held hope in their eyes.
Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh!
“Strange, it’s up to you! Please make it work!” With the sign completely consumed by the black mist above, Lin Rui stared at the slowing rate of consumption and earnestly addressed Strange, who stood beside him.
“I’ll do my best! Earth is my home too! I’ll protect it!” Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Strange replied earnestly.
In the next moment, Strange waved his hand, and a magical Portal appeared in front of him. In the hopeful eyes of Lin Rui and his companions, Strange disappeared into it.
As Strange disappeared from the Mirror Dimension, Dormammu, who had just been rapidly consuming the entire city and even the entire continent, suddenly stopped his consumption.
He had sensed that something was amiss. With a rapid swirl of dark energy, Dormammu’s gigantic face formed quickly in the sky above New York.
“This… is not Earth! Who’s playing tricks here?” After his gigantic face manifested, Dormammu’s deep yellow eyes swept rapidly across the world below, then he roared in anger.
After partially consuming some things on Earth, Dormammu quickly realized that his energy hadn’t increased. It was as if everything he had devoured was illusory.
Further sensing his surroundings, Dormammu quickly discovered that he had somehow left the spatial location of Earth; the Earth before him was just an imaginary existence, unable to provide him with any energy.
In the face of Dormammu’s furious roar echoing throughout the Mirror Dimension, no one answered. Over a hundred Earth sorcerers who had jointly created this giant Mirror Dimension were doing their best to maintain the stability of this space.
Although Dormammu couldn’t obtain any energy from the Mirror Dimension, he was still depleting the sorcerers’ powers.
Moreover, Dormammu would soon figure out where he was trapped. When that happened, Dormammu would launch an attack on the Mirror Dimension, and the hundreds of sorcerers wouldn’t know if they could hold out.
Swish!
Receiving no response, Dormammu’s gigantic face, which had appeared above New York’s sky, suddenly turned downward. His terrifying eyes locked onto the few people on the top floor of Stark Industries building.
After being instantly trapped within the Mirror Dimension, aside from the buildings, the only things still alive on this landmass were the two Spaceships flying in the sky above and Lin Rui and his companions below. Therefore, Dormammu naturally targeted them first.
“It’s you who is playing tricks!” Without a doubt, Dormammu’s enormous eyes stared at Lin Rui and his companions and roared loudly.
Boom!
While yelling, Dormammu had already launched an attack on Lin Rui and the others. The rapidly spreading dark energy instantly converged, then swept down towards Lin Rui and his companions below.
Regardless of where they were now trapped, Dormammu believed that killing these few individuals in front of him would allow him to return to Earth.
Seeing Dormammu taking furious action against them, Lin Rui’s magic emitted a dazzling light. Then, a powerful surge of spatial energy shot out from the Magic Cube, directly countering Dormammu’s attack. With a thunderous noise, the spatial energy from the Magic Cube shattered Dormammu’s attack.
“We won’t waste any more energy fighting you!” Using the power of the Magic Cube to block Dormammu’s attack, Lin Rui shouted defiantly.
“Farewell!” In the moment Dormammu was caught off guard by the spatial energy, Lin Rui quickly created a Portal.
Then, Lin Rui, Jack, and Iceman, standing on the top floor of Stark Industries building, swiftly entered the Portal and disappeared, leaving only an enraged Dormammu above.
“You insects!!” Seeing Lin Rui and the others vanish before his eyes, Dormammu shouted in anger.
In the midst of Dormammu’s furious roar, waves of dark energy rolled rapidly. Under Dormammu’s indiscriminate attack and consumption, this world was quickly destroyed.
However, the world that had just been destroyed began to recover amidst an irregular series of changes. This time, the recovered world had detached itself from reality, resembling more of a dream.
“So… this is a dimensional space?” Observing the changes in the entire world with his own eyes, Dormammu muttered to himself, his deep yellow eyes blinking.
Having confirmed the environment he was in, Dormammu no longer launched a frantic attack on the world. If Dormammu could cross over an entire plane to reach this world, a man-made dimensional space could not possibly trap him.
“A dimensional space, do you really think you can trap me? You are just buying a little more time for Earth, futile!” Dormammu spoke with a low voice, gazing at various locations within the Mirror Dimension with his gigantic deep yellow eyes.
Swish, Swish, Swish!
In the next moment, dozens of concentrated dark energy streams emanated from Dormammu’s colossal form, shooting toward the edges of the Mirror Dimension. Those dozens of locations where Dormammu attacked happened to be where the sorcerers were concealed. Once attacked, the Mirror Dimension would be instantly shattered.
Buzz!
However, just as those dozens of dark energy streams were rapidly shooting out, a completely different force, unrelated to spatial energy, suddenly appeared out of thin air and instantly affected the entire Mirror Dimension.
