#318 - Lin Mei's Arrangement

However, Lin Mei did not retreat. The dimensional core within his body shone brightly, forming a stark contrast with the dark power. The two forces clashed fiercely in the air, creating a dazzling energy storm that tore the entire space apart.

Finally! The dimensional core in Lin Mei's hand instantly shattered into powder, and the Shadow Dimension, having lost its core, exploded instantly.

Lin Mei and Hive's bodies were instantly submerged by the power of darkness, and the entire Earth was enveloped by the dark power unleashed by the Shadow Realm.

Dark Dimension!

Dormammu, who had been focusing on seizing the Shadow Dimension with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, filled with disbelief!

"Madman! This madman! This is a dimension! He would rather destroy it than...!"

"No! This madman! What is he trying to do!"

Dormammu's main consciousness frantically slammed against the blockade on Earth. He had already diverted a significant portion of his power into Lin Mei's Shadow Dimension.

Now that Lin Mei had truly destroyed the Shadow Dimension, his power had completely gone down the drain and could not be recovered!

With Dormammu's frantic attacks, the defenses constructed by the three Sanctums began to crumble.

This commotion finally made the Ancient One unable to sit still. She opened a passage to the Dark Dimension.

"Dormammu! You've gone too far! Did you think I was unprepared?" The Ancient One's voice echoed through the passage, carrying undeniable authority. Her figure appeared at the end of the passage, facing the abyss of the Dark Dimension, her eyes shining with wisdom and power.

Dormammu's main consciousness trembled in the darkness. He felt the arrival of the Ancient One, and that ancient and powerful force forced him to temporarily stop his assault on Earth's blockade. "Ancient One, you dare to come here yourself!"

"Dormammu, your ambition has long exceeded the boundaries. Attempting to seize Lin Mei's dimension and initiating a war between two worlds is a lesson you deserve." The Ancient One's tone was calm and firm. She slowly raised her hand, and a brilliant light began to gather in her palm, the magic of time and space, the symbol of her power as the Sorcerer Supreme.

"Do you think you can stop me with just you? Ancient One, your era is long gone!" Dormammu sneered, mobilizing the remaining power in the Dark Dimension, ready to face this interdimensional showdown.

It's not surprising that Dormammu was confident. As one of the greatest mystical entities in all of the multiverse's dimensions, he claimed that his power was equal to Odin or Zeus.

Therefore, Dormammu's strength was also at the top-tier Skyfather level, and he did not believe that the Ancient One could stop him.

"Is that so? Why don't we see who's stronger!" The Ancient One was naturally not afraid of Dormammu!

She was the Sorcerer Supreme and had inherited the white magic of the Vishanti. Now that Dormammu's power was almost depleted and had not been recovered, she could still contend with Dormammu!

"Arrogant human! After I kill you, I will devour you and everything you protect!"

After uttering his threat, Dormammu immediately used the power of the Dark Dimension to attack the Ancient One.

The Ancient One remained silent and immediately used magic to block Dormammu's attack!

A battle at the Skyfather level immediately unfolded!

Meanwhile, Earth had been without sunlight for nearly half an hour!

Just as the vampires were launching a blood hunt against humans, an overwhelming power of darkness erupted from the direction of America, plunging the world into an even deeper darkness.

This power was so great that even the stars in the sky seemed to be swallowed, and the entire world was shrouded in an oppressive and desperate atmosphere.

People panicked and scattered, not knowing what this sudden darkness meant.

In some areas, the power grid broke down for unknown reasons, and cities were plunged into darkness, with only occasional shouts and cries breaking the silence of the night.

In the Vampire Empire's castle, the Blood Witch Council's high-ranking members looked at each other in dismay. They had never seen such spectacular dark power, even more than the dark power Dormammu had invested on Earth.

Dracula, on the vampire throne, slowly stood up, his scarlet eyes flashing with a mixture of excitement and fear. "Is this... Dormammu's power? Or Lin Mei's? Either way, this is our era!" He waved his arms, ordering his vampires to prepare for a new dawn—a dawn ruled by them.

As for the Avengers, although they had been teleported away by the sudden spatial power, they had not gone far. Instead, they gathered in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of New York City.

Tony Stark anxiously analyzed the situation before him: "We have to do something, we can't let Earth fall into darkness like this!"

Steve Rogers gripped his shield tightly, his eyes firm: "What needs to be done, Lin Mei already told me in advance!" His words drew everyone's attention.

"I knew it, that guy is so smart, how could he not have done anything!" Tony's eyes lit up.

Lin Mei's arrangements proved that he had foreseen what would happen today.

Steve nodded and said seriously: "Now that Nick Fury, or rather Hive's identity, has been exposed, I don't need to hide what needs to be done next."

He took out a satellite phone and tried to contact someone?

Soon the call connected, and Steve asked seriously: "How is it? Is the plan going smoothly?"

Hill's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Very smoothly. These Hydra have indeed been parasitized by Hive. They have all lost their ability to resist! We arrested everyone almost effortlessly! It's just that there are already many vampires gathered outside the SHIELD headquarters. They have started attacking the building, it looks like they came for these people!"

Steve nodded and said seriously: "Okay! I understand!"

Hanging up, Steve finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lin Mei's plan has succeeded. Almost all the hidden Hydra have been uprooted."

Meeting everyone's doubtful gaze, Steve also began to explain Lin Mei's arrangements.

It turned out that after learning that Hive had taken over Nick Fury's body, Lin Mei had never relaxed his control over Hive.

Because Hive had been exiled for thousands of years, his long-term solitude had created a distorted personality that did not trust anyone. Lin Mei discovered that in order to regain control of the Hydra organization, he simply used his parasitic ability to control the entire Hydra organization.

This control was naturally closely related to the Hive parasite. If something happened to Hive, the entire Hydra organization he controlled would be affected.
