New York Battlefield

The Blood God had fallen!

Tony watched the Blood River rapidly vanish from the sky, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Earth’s guardian was gone.

"This is impossible, impossible. There’s an old saying in the East: scourges live for a thousand years. How could a scourge like Bert die so easily?"

Enduring the corrosion of the dark energy, Tony rose to his feet and roared angrily, "Bert Wang, get your ass back here and kill that big-headed freak! You still have so many beautiful women to hit on. How can you die?"

"Hulk doesn’t believe the Blood God is dead. The Blood God will never die."

Hulk also stood up, roaring furiously with veins bulging across his face. Without the Blood God, Banner and Betty might have abandoned him long ago. How could he have enjoyed his current glory? Steve, Mordo, Natasha, and the others likewise endured the intense pain as they climbed to their feet. They could not believe it, nor were they willing to believe that the Blood God had fallen just like that.

With the Blood God gone, who would protect America and the world from now on?

If President Ellis learned of this, he would probably be scared to death on the spot! "It’s useless. The Blood God and his Blood Clan have all been erased."

Kaecilius said disdainfully, "Without the Blood God and without the Sorcerer Supreme, this world will belong to the great Dormammu."

"That’s right. This universe will belong to me."

Dormammu laughed heartily. His dream of a thousand years had finally come true. Those useless fools had not been left behind in vain.

"This is impossible."

Everyone was filled with despair and grief, especially Tony, whose eyes were even brimming with tears. He really had been unhappy with the Blood God, but he was also grateful to him. Without the Blood God, how many times would he have died already? Besides, the Blood God was his closest comrade-in-arms.

"All the Vampires… Wait, Carter? No, it can’t be. It can’t be like this."

Thinking of something, Steve hurriedly tried to make a call with his wristwatch. The result was… no signal.

"I’ll kill you all."

Hulk’s eyes turned red, and his body rapidly expanded. Under his towering fury, he became the God of Anger once more.

Instead of being alarmed, Dormammu was delighted. "What a fine beast. I like it. You will become the number one war beast of the dark world."

"Go die!"

With an angry roar, Hulk drove both feet downward. The ground shattered and collapsed with a crash. Then Hulk shot into the sky, his fist smashing through the void as he charged Dormammu amid dense spatial cracks.

Dormammu smiled contemptuously and glared. Space reversed, and Hulk’s fist slammed into the ground with a boom. The entire ground cracked and caved in, while the surrounding buildings collapsed with thunderous crashes as though made of paper, kicking up vast clouds of dust and shockwaves.

Everything within a thousand meters became ruins. Only the platform Ancient One had created earlier remained. Fortunately, everyone nearby had withdrawn in advance, so there were no civilian casualties.

The Super Heroes, Spider Demons, and mages around Hulk were all blown away by the violent shockwave, landing miserably amid the rubble.

Everyone was deeply shocked, both by Hulk’s terrifying strength and by Dormammu’s power. Even Hulk was nowhere near a match for Dormammu.

"Master, I’ll deal with Dormammu."

Seeing this, Strange gritted his teeth and spoke to Ancient One. He did not know whether the "negotiation plan" he had devised would succeed, but as the Sorcerer Supreme, this was a responsibility he had to bear.

"Dormammu is my responsibility. I will deal with him. Strange, this time, the enemy is not just Dormammu."

Ancient One shook her head, pushed Strange away, and flew toward Dormammu using the last of her strength.

"Ancient One, you still dare come over?"

Dormammu was extremely disdainful upon seeing Ancient One. The Ancient One of the past had been qualified to fight him, but the dying Ancient One of now was utterly unqualified to be his opponent.

"Dormammu, you forced my hand. Ancient One will no longer be human today."

Ancient One spread her hands, and the mark of the Dark Dimension appeared on her forehead. Then she shouted, "I am willing to become the Lord of the Dark Dimension."

The moment those words fell, the Dark Dimension immediately trembled. Endless dark energy surged madly into Ancient One’s body as if it cost nothing.

Ancient One’s aura suddenly soared, and a dense black aura radiated from her body. She looked as if a demon god had descended.

"Master."

Mordo and Strange were utterly stunned, even horrified. What the hell was this? Ancient One had fallen to darkness? No, Ancient One had become the Lord of the Dark Dimension?

"How is that possible? I am the Lord of the Dark Dimension."

Sensing the Dark Dimension’s authority shifting away, Dormammu’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly used his thousands of years of ruling authority to counter the Dark Dimension and prevent Ancient One from replacing him.

Simply put, the consciousness of the Dark Dimension was the company chairman, while Dormammu was the company president. Now that the chairman wanted to replace the president, the president was resisting desperately.

Having been president for thousands of years, Dormammu had considerable capital to resist. More importantly, the Dark Dimension had not transferred all its authority. It wanted Ancient One to take it herself.

The rules of the dark world were that the strong reigned supreme, and the weak were prey to the strong.

Ancient One’s eyes turned black as she said coldly and without emotion, "Dormammu, you are not the one coming for me now. I am coming for you."

Then Ancient One transformed into a streak of black light and charged into the Space Channel, forcefully slamming Dormammu back into the Dark Dimension. Dormammu roared, "Ancient One, you cannot take my Dark Dimension from me."

"The Dark Dimension is not yours, but it will be mine."

Ancient One transformed into a super giant of unimaginable height. Casually grabbing a lifeless planet, she hurled it fiercely at Dormammu.

Dormammu was about to resist when his body suddenly became uncontrollable. The planet smashed hard into his face and sent him flying countless kilometers away.

Dormammu was startled and hurriedly examined himself, only to discover endless red light had somehow appeared within his body.

The leading red light sensed Dormammu’s gaze and shouted with a smile, "Surprise!"

Dormammu cried out in disbelief, "Blood God! You’re not dead?"

"Don’t even mention whether that shitty formula was fake. Even if it were real, I still wouldn’t die. Only trash like you would believe it."

Wang Bert sneered. He had devoured more than half of the Space Stone and possessed the Reality Stone and the Dragon Soul Clone. How could he possibly die so easily? It was worth mentioning that this Wang Bert was only the Vampire portion. The Space Power, Dragon Soul, and projection were not here.

Dormammu finally understood. "It was fake? You were scheming against me?"

"Obviously. Of course we were scheming against you. Did you think your crappy plan could actually succeed?"

Wang Bert mocked, "The water we let Kaecilius get away with was enough to create another Pacific Ocean."

The other red lights—Mercury, Lilith, Dracula, Blade, and the other Vampires—burst into laughter. The so-called Lord of Darkness was nothing more than this, toyed with by the Blood God from beginning to end.

"I’ll kill you."

Dormammu was so furious he nearly spat blood. He controlled dark energy to bombard the red lights, but to his surprise, they remained completely unharmed.

"I forgot to tell you: the spell Kaecilius chanted earlier linked us Vampires to you. Now, we are one. That means your energy cannot hurt us."

Wang Bert smiled. "But our energy can control you. Dormammu, are you dumbfounded yet?"

Everyone burst into laughter again. Dormammu was about to say something when Ancient One appeared before him and pressed down with both hands. Space transformed into blades and shot at him like raindrops.

Dormammu was about to defend himself when Wang Bert and the Vampires desperately interfered with his body. His movements slowed for an instant, and countless spatial blades pierced through his body, leaving him in a miserable state.

"You think this is enough to kill me?"

Dormammu roared, pressing both hands downward. Space shook violently like waves, and then the surrounding planets streaked toward Ancient One like meteors.

"Can’t kill you? Then what did we set up this trap for? Dormammu, you idiot, today is your end."

Wang Bert sneered and shouted, "Come on, control Dormammu’s body together! Once the battle is over, I’ll treat you to Hydra blood—the god-tier kind."

"Long live the Blood God!"

The Vampires cheered and joined Wang Bert in controlling Dormammu’s body. Ancient One gave a cold smile and cast a spell with both hands. Time in the surrounding area suddenly slowed.

Dormammu was shocked. "Time Magic? Without the Eye of Agamotto, how can you use Time Magic?"

"Because I am Ancient One, the greatest genius Earth has seen in thousands of years. Dormammu, you are doomed today. Even if the Creator God came, he could not save you."

Ancient One shouted wildly. She was this arrogant not only because of the corruption of dark power, but also because the soul within this body was incomplete.

This was only half of Ancient One’s soul—the half that represented evil.

Meanwhile, accompanied by the Blood God’s Projection, the other half of Ancient One’s soul arrived at the laboratory beneath Blood God Manor.

Pointing at Ancient One’s clone inside a nutrient tank, the Blood God’s Projection smiled and said, "Master, the body cloned for you is a perfect eighteen-year-old body—full of youthful vitality, with thick hair and radiant beauty."

Ancient One glared at the Blood God’s Projection and asked, "Has that bottle of blood been fused into it?"

"It has."

The Blood God’s Projection asked curiously, "But Master, whose blood is that? It doesn’t seem special at all. It neither glows nor has the slightest energy fluctuation. It is just like a mortal’s blood."

"You’ll soon know whose blood it is."

Ancient One passed through the glass and entered the clone’s body. "Keep an eye on the situation outside. Don’t screw it up."

"Rest assured, Master. We won’t screw it up. Earth isn’t that weak."

The Blood God’s Projection smiled. This world had long since become completely different from the movie world.

This was proof that Wang Bert had come here. If everything were the same, then what was the point of coming?

"Good."

Ancient One said no more and began merging with the clone body. This clone had been infused with special blood, enough to contain her powerful soul and allow her to be reborn through another body.

"Good will, evil will… Master is planning to sever the three corpses?"

Wang Bert shook his head and turned his attention to the battlefield at the New York Sanctum.

When Dormammu’s head suddenly vanished from the sky, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Tony asked Strange, who was flying over, "Strange, has Dormammu been dealt with?"

"Not yet."

Strange’s expression was somewhat strange. As he helped everyone clear the dark energy from their bodies, he said, "There are two possible endings next. Ancient One loses to Dormammu, and Dormammu returns injured. That would be the good outcome."

Everyone was stunned. "That’s the good outcome? Then what’s the bad one?"

"The bad outcome is that Ancient One wins. Then we will have to face the Lord of Darkness, Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One."

Strange said with a toothache, "Against Dormammu, we have a one-in-ten-thousand chance of winning. Against Ancient One, I suggest we kneel immediately and apply to join the Dark Dimension, contributing to its construction and creating a better tomorrow."

Tony sucked in a cold breath. "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"It’s worse than you think. I would rather face three Dormammus than one Ancient One."

Mordo smiled bitterly. "That was Ancient One, who drove away all demon gods and suppressed an entire era by herself."

"This is really troublesome."

Tony and the others smiled bitterly. Now they could only hope the two big shots achieved mutual destruction.

"You’re overthinking it. Ancient One is no match for Dormammu. She is certain to lose."

Kaecilius snorted. "Besides, you will not live long enough to see that. Do you think this is all over? Dream on!"

Accompanied by Kaecilius’s voice, dimensional projections appeared one after another in the sky. Other dimensions were opening Space Channels to Earth.

All dimensions knew that Earth’s Defense Net had been broken. Some demon gods opened Space Channels, while others flew toward Earth personally, preparing to claim a share.

The souls of the Main Universe were not only delicious, but treasures as well.

Dimensional projections appeared not only above New York, but all over the world. The demon kings of Hell laughed loudly. "Kaecilius, we have kept our promise. We came to help you."

"Kaecilius, we’re here."

Heaven was descending as well. Kaecilius rolled his eyes fiercely. These guys really had no shame.

"So many Dimensional Demon Gods?"

Everyone’s hearts sank. This time, Earth was truly finished.

Just then, the entire Earth was enveloped in seven-colored light. Then all the dimensional projections were transferred to New York at the same time, while New York’s citizens were swiftly evacuated within the seven-colored light.

"This is the power of the Bifrost. No, how could the knockoff Bifrost be this powerful?"

Tony was rather surprised. At that moment, Dr. Richards’s voice rang out across the world. "Earth has lost its guardian. All superpowered beings willing to protect Earth, please raise your hands and teleport to New York.

"New York will become the battlefield. If New York falls, Earth will be destroyed.

"This is no joke. It is the cruel reality we face. Earth’s survival depends on this battle."

"Survival?"

The Super Heroes in New York froze for a moment, then raised their hands one after another. In the next instant, Electro, Spider-Man, Power Man, Ghost Rider, and other Super Heroes were all teleported to the open ground at the New York Sanctum.

Not only them, but Inhumans, Ivan, Madame Gao, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Doctor Doom, and other superpowered beings were also teleported over in succession.

In space, Skye tightly gripped King’s Glory in her hand and shouted angrily, "Prepare to teleport to New York and protect Earth."

The seven-colored light could teleport not only the Space Fleet, but even the Inhumans on the moon.

"Yes, Queen Skye."

Everyone in the fleet answered loudly in unison. Although they had just received certain orders, they chose to ignore them. Whatever happened, they would protect Earth first.

The Earth Federation had been built up by the Blood God himself. Now that the Blood God was dead, some naturally wanted to split it apart and take their shares. That went without saying.

Seeing everyone united in purpose, Frank breathed a sigh of relief, then clenched his fist tightly. He would definitely avenge Bert. He would definitely protect Earth.

Not only this fleet, but S.W.O.R.D.’s Dark Aster, the Earth Federation’s main fleet, and Inhumans such as Black Bolt on the moon all answered the call and appeared in New York.
