Chapter 181 The "Soul" That Mephisto Desires

In the deep space of the dark dimension, the light of the Time Gem flickered, reflecting a mysterious and ancient scene. Ancient One, the Supreme Sorcerer wearing a cloak, sat in the wide magic circle, with the gem composed of brilliant time energy suspended in his hand.

Dormammu, a powerful and ancient being, is the guardian of the dark dimension. His body is like the abyss, and dark energy surges and permeates around him. In this ancient dimension, two powerful beings are destined to have a fierce collision in the long river of time.

Ancient One stared at Dormammu, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. He knew that the confrontation with Dormammu was not just a battle, but also a struggle of time and a test of the order of the universe. The Time Stone rotated slightly in his hand, releasing its unique energy fluctuations.

Dormammu's mouth slightly raised, and his dark eyes stared at the Ancient One. He was not a person who would act rashly, but he would never show weakness to the provocation of the Ancient One. The tranquility of the dark dimension was broken at this moment, and the fluctuations of time began to intertwine.

As the energy released by the Time Stone, the entire dimension seemed to enter a distorted state. Dormammu's form blurred in the light and shadow, sometimes distorted, sometimes stable. He tried to resist the interference of the Ancient One through the power of darkness and maintain the order of his own dimension.

"Ancient One, you cannot stop the arrival of darkness. Time is only a part of the universe, and darkness is the true origin." Dormammu's voice was like an echo in the abyss, full of majesty and vicissitudes.

Ancient One responded calmly: "Darkness will eventually be dispelled by light, Dormammu. The flow of time is the law of the universe, and I am only maintaining this law. Your darkness cannot shake the order of the universe."

As he spoke, Ancient One's gestures changed, and the Time Stone released even more powerful energy. A brilliant crack in time and space unfolded in the dark dimension, distorting space. Dormammu felt the pressure increase, his form began to become unstable, and the dark energy fluctuations were constantly disturbed.

The battle became more and more intense. The fluctuations of time split the entire space into cracks, forming interlaced light and shadow, outlining a strange and mysterious picture.

Dormammu was not to be outdone, and he released even denser dark energy, trying to resist the power of time that Ancient One used with the Time Stone. However, the power of the Time Stone plus Ancient One's control ability gave him the upper hand in this battle.

In the tug-of-war, the power of the Ancient One gradually gained the upper hand. There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, as if he could see through everything. Dormammu's form became more and more distorted, and the power of darkness was gradually swallowed up by the light of time.

"Darkness is also a part of the universe. You can't completely destroy me." There was a hint of helplessness in Dormammu's voice. He felt the darkness recede and be replaced by time.

Ancient One's eyes were deep. He knew that darkness might never be completely eliminated, but what he did was to seal it and eliminate it to maintain the balance of the universe. The Time Stone released the last wave of powerful energy, completely suppressing the distorted power in the dark dimension.

The dark dimension returned to peace and the rifts in time and space gradually closed.

The Ancient One's cape fluttered, his eyes full of wisdom and determination. Dormammu's form dissipated in time, and the power of darkness was bound in the abyss of the universe.

"So, you're still planning on pestering me?"

Ancient One looked at a wisp of dark energy floating by.

"Ancient One, this is the first time I've seen you look nervous in all these years." Dormammu said with a joking smile, "I've checked the background of that man named Nathan Hawke."

Gu Yi looked at Dormammu, who was in the form of a dark energy: "Just say whatever you want to say."

"I've seen Nathan Hawke from other parallel universes."

"The obese man, the demon of lust... I gave him the dark energy, but in the end all he did was become a piece of trash who was dominated by lust and only knew how to mate."

"However, the Nathan Hawke of your world is so different."

"A powerful, mysterious, and inexplicably powerful person."

"Mephisto has come to me. In his opinion, the souls of those powerful men are very delicious."

"Especially the man named Sephiroth. His soul made Mephisto orgasm in front of me."

Dormammu's teasing voice sounded in Ancient One's ears.

"Perhaps, you should go meet the man named Sephiroth and prevent Morpheus from obtaining his soul."

The Ancient One just looked at Dormammu quietly, and then said: "So, when I leave, will you enter my world? Dormammu."

"Ha, of course I won't." Dormammu replied with a smile: "I know the power of the Supreme Sorcerer."

"But, you say." Dormammu teased for a moment, and then said: "You say, will Mephisto work with the people from another world to kill Nathan Hawke and obtain his soul, or will he go find Sephiroth, whom Mephisto has been thinking about?"

"Besides, it seems that Kaluu is planning to get involved as well."

Dormammu whispered in Ancient One's ear with great pride: "So, why bother to stop me here? Mephisto and Kaluu are the opponents you really need to be careful of."

Dormammu waited for Ancient One's decision jokingly.

......

In the deep space of the dark dimension, time seemed to have frozen, and the light of the gems was still flickering, but at this moment, there was a strange atmosphere in the space. Ancient One turned his gaze to Dormammu, and a hint of recognition was revealed in his deep eyes, as if he was thinking about what Dormammu said.

However, suddenly, another Ancient One appeared in the space. She was wearing a cloak, smiling, and her eyes revealed deep wisdom. The presence of the two Ancient Ones caused the entire dark dimension to fluctuate abnormally, and the order of the universe seemed to have undergone subtle changes at this moment.

Dormammu felt a strong breath and could not help but take a step back. The dark energy fluctuations became less intense. The aura displayed by this other Ancient One made him feel an unprecedented pressure, as if he was facing the judge of the universe.

"Dormamu, your darkness cannot escape the eyes of the universe." The voice of another Ancient One was like a distant bell, echoing throughout the entire dimension.

Dormammu's eyes widened with anger, and the dark energy tried to surge again, but in front of the female Ancient One, it seemed to have lost some of its power. She smiled at Dormammu, and her eyes revealed a wisdom that transcended time and space.

"Your plan is doomed to fail, Dormammu. Darkness is not the destination of the universe, but a process, a test that must be experienced." The voice of the female Ancient One was clear and solemn.

Dormammu felt increasingly helpless, as if he had lost the power to control everything in this space and time. The dark energy no longer ran rampant according to his will, as if it was bound by some supernatural power.

"What is your intention?" Dormammu asked harshly. He felt that the plan of Ancient One and his companions was far beyond his imagination.

Ancient One (female) smiled and responded: "It's simple, I just took over the guard duty."

Ancient One (male) also joined in: "Dormammu, you are right, so I plan to meet Mephisto."

Dormammu became more and more angry, "You are just servants of the universe, I am the real master!" Dormammu roared, trying to break free from the invisible restraints.

However, Ancient One (female) smiled slightly, and she raised her palm slightly, as if tearing time and space apart. A powerful light emanated from her hand and rushed straight into Dormammu's body.

"Is it necessary? I am just a clone now." Dormammu glared fiercely at the female Ancient One with a dark heart.

"You are the master of the dark dimension, I can't take it lightly. Don't you think so?" Ancient One (female) responded with a smile.

"Just wait for me, Ancient One."

After Dormammu said this, he immediately pinched off a wisp of dark energy.

......

Sephiroth looked at the Mephisto clone in front of him, his heart full of vigilance. Mephisto smiled, looking relaxed, as if everything was under his control.

Sephiroth was silent, but his eyes revealed a hint of calmness and determination. His intuition told him that the Mephisto in front of him was not a simple existence, but a symbol of twisted power and desire.

"Hello, Sephiroth. I am Mephisto, from another dimension." Mephisto's voice was relaxed and slightly teasing.

Sephiroth restrained his inner emotions, his eyes became calm and firm. The other party claimed to be from another dimension, which made him feel an unusual threat.

"What is your purpose in standing in front of me?" Sephiroth asked calmly.

Mephisto chuckled and looked nonchalant, "Don't get angry, I just want to chat with you and make friends."

"Friend?" Sephiroth frowned slightly, feeling uneasy at the other party's relaxed attitude.

"Yes, I heard that you are very powerful, and I like dealing with powerful people." There was a hint of amusement in Mephisto's eyes.

Sephiroth stared at Mephisto warily, knowing that the man in front of him was not a simple person. Mephisto seemed to have some purpose, and he needed to remain vigilant and not be fooled by his words.

"My definition of a friend may be different from yours. If you have any purpose, just say it directly." Sephiroth's voice remained firm.

Mephisto smiled, his eyes gradually becoming deeper, "I just came to play a game to see if you are strong enough to be worth my time."

Sephiroth frowned slightly, sensing the unusual implication of the other party's words. Game? This word reminded him of a deeper possibility.

"Your game may involve more than that, and I can't just jump into it casually," Sephiroth responded calmly.

Mephisto laughed. "You are such a petty person. Well, since you don't want to join my game, I won't force you."

After that, Mephisto gradually disappeared, as if he had disappeared from reality. What was left was a quiet space, but Sephiroth's heart was still filled with a mysterious fog.
